Thanks a lot, @Paperdoc and @Zerk2012 . This was exactly the problem. I have now plugged it into the 4-pin output and everything is working as it should.

Yes, BIOS and Windows Utility both show RPM for FAN2 as well as CPU Fan. FAN1 used to show RPM when it was directly connected, but not with the extension cable now.

Here is my machine: Case: NZXT S340 White M/B: AsRock Z370 Killer SLI/AC Fan: CoolerMaster SICKLEFLOW 120 ARGB So I replaced one of original chassis fans with SickleFlow 120. After installing the fan I found that its cable was too short to reach the other fan header on MOBO. I...

Thanks. Can you suggest a budget solution for the second problem? Something that is affordable but compatible with my mobo and fan? Also am I correct in assuming that even with a "smart" converter that connects the ARGB fan to my 4-pin RGB header, I'll not be able to control lighting from...

Thanks. Is this thing of any use for my purpose? It is a 4-pin12V to 3-pin ARGB converter and specifically mentions AsRock RGB LED in the description. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003680148761.html Or is it only for RGB strips?

I just bought Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 ARGB for my NZXT S340 White case and AsRock Z370 Killer SLI/ac motherboard. Even though the case or motherboard are not unusually large, the connector cable provided with the fan is too short to reach the fan header on the motherboard. What should I do...

My motherboard is AsRock Z370 Killer SLI/AC. I have an i5-8400 with stock cooler, which is making a lot of noise now that summer is upon us here. I'm thinking about changing the cooler with ID-COOLING SE-214-XT ARGB. However, reading the description it says the fan is 3-pin, while my motherboard...

I have a somewhat old Z370 motherboard (AsRock Z370 Killer SLI/AC) that supports PCIe 3.0 and I'm currently using Samsung 970 Evo Plus 512GB on it as my boot drive. Can I upgrade to 1TB 990 Pro, which is a PCIe 4.0 disk? Will it perform any better than PCIe 3.0 SSDs? Also can this have any...

Hi, quick few questions about replacing my stock cooler. I have an i5-8400 with stock cooler that makes a lot of noise under load. I want to replace it with a better but affordable cooler, e.g. Hyper 212 Evo or Hyper TX3 Evo. Here are a few questions: Do both of these coolers work with...

Thanks everyone. I think I get my answers. So the fact that 1080 was good enough for 4K gaming was because the available 4K titles at that time were less demanding than they are today. And secondly, I should buy a 4K monitor before buying a 4K supporting graphics card. Sounds reasonable.

I remember the time when I bought a new shining GTX1060 (back 4-5 years ago) and it has worked smoothly for the games that I play at 2K resolution with Ultra settings. I remember people recommending nothing less than GTX1080 for 4K gaming. Then came the 20XX series and people started telling...

I currently own a 4 years old PC with the following specs: ASRock > Z370 Killer SLI/ac Intel i5 8400 16GB RAM (G.Skill DDR-3000) MSI 1060 Gaming X: MSI Global - The Leading Brand in High-end Gaming & Professional Creation NZXT S340: NZXT S340 Mid-Tower Chassis (White) CA-S340W-W1 B&H Photo...

mmm... why not? what specifically is missing? The storage device gives me a USB port to connect and the adapter gives me a USB port. What do I need to add to this setup to make it work? What other options do I have?

So I'm trying to setup an continuous backup plan. I need the following features in it: Act as NAS (a storage device connected to my router through Ethernet) Act as external HDD which I could connect directly to my laptop through USB (without requiring a separate power source) Budget friendly...

I have purchased AsRock Z370 Killer SLI/AC with i5 8400 and am now confused about RAM. 1. Should I buy 2 x 8GB or 1 x 16GB (or 4 x 4GB?!)? 2. How does that relate to single/dual/quad channels and how does that affect speed? 3. Does my motherboard/processor even support dual/quad channels...
