    Question Oversized AIO CPU Fan - - - can I mount it externally ?

    I see no inherent trouble with mounting the AIO cooler and fans on top of the outside of the case. I assume you will aim the fans so they exhaust air from inside the case. My only questions are sort of obvious. 1. You are confident you can mount securely for a temporary system sp nothing will...

    Question I cannot install the driver for Brother printer ?

    I'm thinking power problem, too. That brief turn-on-then-off suggests the battery is NOT fully charged so the printer can run for only a few seconds. When you get the AC adapter, ensure the printer's battery is fully charged before trying again. BUT before you get that, you CAN charge the...

    Question Fan Hub not working ?

    That last part of Lutfij's post above it important!That mis-connection might have done permanent damage and caused all your problems. Now, IF you are confident the Hub is not that damaged, then check for this issue. The newest version of ARGB lights is called Gen2, and it allows extra features...

    Question PCIe USB 3.0 Host Controller doesn't start ?

    Unusually slow data transfer rates with a USB3 drive can be caused by any of: 1. The actual port in the computer used is USB2. Inspect it closely. 2. The cable from port to drive is NOT USB3, but USB2. Inspect that closely. 3. The drive unit is defective. Try it on a friend's computer with a...

    Question PCIe USB 3.0 Host Controller doesn't start ?

    Would it be possible to try this card installed in a friend's computer? That might tell ylou if the card is faulty., or the problem is with your motherboard or MAYBE in the USB3 drivers in your system.

    Question PCIe USB 3.0 Host Controller doesn't start ?

    OK, a couple questions. Do you have the external hard drive unit already? If Yes, does it have its own power supply module with a socket on the drive to plug that is so it can be powered from the wall? If No, then I can suggest a few possible ways to get something to work. If you do NOT have...

    Question PCIe USB 3.0 Host Controller doesn't start ?

    You should check with the manual for that card and its maker. I doubt that such a card could supply to an attached USB2 device enough power to run, with the possible exceptions of light-power items like a keyboard or mouse. But USB3 devices are designed to use MORE power at max, so I am sure...

    Question PCIe USB 3.0 Host Controller doesn't start ?

    You MAY have a power issue. Like all cards of this type, the card has a power input socket (VERY likely a 4-pin Molex connector) to which you MUST connect a power output connector from your PSU. Probably this will be on the wires that also have some SATA power outputs. The PCIe bus provides only...

    Question watercooling fans stopped spinning.

    First thing to know is that any of those lighted fans is really two separate devices in one unit: a fan, and ARGB lights. Each of those has its own separate cable to plug in somewhere. The smaller one with three holes is for the fan motor, and the wider one with three holes but looks like it had...

    Question Where do I plug an aio pump power cable and fans cable on my motherboard

    Thar mobo has two CPU_FAN headers. You can use them for your AIO system, but they will need particular settings. For the PUMP, connect to CPU_FAN1. On its configuration screen set the "Setting" to constant full speed, may be called Turbo or something like that. For the RAD FANS (probably using...

    Question My CPU cooler in the AIO fan slot won't go below 85% of max RPM ?

    First, thamks for marking my post above as the Solution. Which fan do I sacrifice then? That's easy. ALL of the case ventilation fans should be connected to CHA_FAN headers, and all of those headers configured in the same way (except for one item). Your problem, I assume, is that you have 4...

    Question My CPU cooler in the AIO fan slot won't go below 85% of max RPM ?

    You meed to change connection points for fans. 1. Remove the cable from the REAR exhaust fan from CPU_FAN and plug it into one CHA_FAN header. In the configuration screen for that header, set Q-FAN Control to DC Mode since this is a 3-pin fan, and that CAN control its speed. Set Fan Profile to...

    Question Laser Printer

    Just a small note on terms. "All-in-One" or "4-in-1" Printers do FOUR jobs: Print, Scan, Copy and FAX send / receive. For the FAX functions this means the printer itself has extra hardware as a transmitter / receiver dedicated to FAX work. Of course, that means you also need a phone line...

    Question Is there a consensus 'best' coolant for a custom loop?

    I trained in Physical Chemistry but I will not go into detail on Electrochemistry. Bottom line is that ANY time you have a system with two metals even slightly different AND with some electrically conductive connection between them, you WILL see Galvanic Cell Corrosion. On any custom loop you...
