The commander pro is amazing. You'd have to use iCUE software to control the fans, and another to control thermaltakes rgb (I'm assuming), but with the commander pro you get ports for 6 fans, and you can add splitters to those, doubling the amount. It also comes with 2 led channels to add...

What cooler are you using currently? Just a stock ryzen one? edit; just saw you have a stock cooler. missed it the first time lol.. With that budget you probably wouldn't be able to find much of an AiO...at least not one that'll perform any better than say a Noctua air cooler or a dark rock...

I too have a nearly identical build. Maximus XII Hero, Trident Z Royal and 10850k. Did you set the XMP profile or manually change those settings? When I first built my PC just a couple weeks ago, I set my XMP profile and I couldn't get the board to post. I ended up disabling XMP and went and...

Thanks! It's my first one I did myself and now im addicted lol! And I've learned a TON. I know I went overkill on some things with this build, but I had to give up my motorcycle hobby (health reasons), so I splurged in some areas. Next I would love to do a budget amd build just because I'm...

Wow you guys are amazingly helpful!! Will be reading and watching everything I can about manual overclocking so I can get rid of this AI stuff. You all kick ass thank you!!

Oh and also fwiw, AI overclocking was recommended by a friend who knows nothing about overclocking to begin with lol...so I sincerely appreciate your guy's advice with doing it manually. Neither of us know what we're doing apparently lol

Wow thanks guys! so you recommending that I just reset all Bios defaults and uninstalling AI suite, THEN clearing CMOS right? Do I take the battery out or just need to press clear CMOS? Thank you so much! Will be watching those videos first thing in the morning!!

Okay so very new to building PCs and setting everything up in bios. Previously just got prebuilt gaming rigs. Laat week I built a new gaming PC (my very first yay!) but I have some confusion... I used AI Suite to OC (after setting the XMP profile I). Well I got a stable AI OC of 4900mhz...

Thank you very much! It's good to know I won't kill my PSU lol.

Hi all, Just finished my first PC build ever...so I apologize for the ignorance. I just got lucky and snagged a msi 3080 gaming x trio but that card is quite chonk. To get it in my case, I'm gonna need individually sleeved 8pin pcie cables instead of my stock PSU cables. This is where my...

So quick question...I just now learned that corsairs QL120mm fans aren't good for radiators (not static pressure fans from what I understand). I ordered 9x QL120mm fans for my build, (case is Lian Li-PC011 Dynamic). Well, now knowing the QLs shouldn't be put onto the NZXT Z73, i'm unsure what...

If your board is anything like mine, when m.2_1 is populated you lose a SATA port. Refer to your mobo manual and try to plug your hdd in a different SATA port. It should show up then.

Good! I keep hearing RAID and idk what it's good for aside from speeding up HDDs at the cost of redundancy or visa versa. Thanks for the help guys. So I'm better off with just getting 2.5" SATA ssds for gaming storage then? My buddy gave me a brand new 970 Pro 1tb nvme so I wasn't sure what my...

Hi all, Total newbie here. I'm building a gaming PC for the first time. I have owned gaming PCs before but usually pay a company to build it for me. After the last time was a horrible experience I decided to learn and do it myself. I have read the mobo manual for my Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero...
