    Question hey i just built a new pc and im having a issue with the pc turning on but has no display on the monitor (monitor turns on during startup)

    What I found out about this, and I'm not sure if it would have been the same case for you. I always use a modular PSU and the 12 pin wire that came with my new one looked to have been potentially damaged, so I used a spare one from another PSU. This is not recommended from my research as the...

    Discussion New Build Display and Benchmark

    Gaming and work. I play all sorts of games from non intensive to AAA games. I work remote a lot too, so performing simple tasks (emails, browsing, multiple web tabs for research and development). I review large PDF files often and perform editing of them. I also enjoy benchmarking as a hobby :)

    Question AIO connections to motherboard for RGB Control - Phanteks NV5 ?

    Did exactly like you mentioned. Swapped the AIO cord to plug in all 3 cables into the motherboard. Worked like a charm! Thank you! PS. This does not allow the RGB buttons on top of the phanteks case to control the fans RGB. There might be a way but I'm happy so thats all that matters :P. Thanks!

    It is ARGB. I had it connected a couple fo different ways and the lights would change colors, unsure of effects but colors are changeable. When connecting like you mentioned, do you mean to not use the single AIO PUMP connector and swap it with the cable that has 3 ends to connect to the...
