    Lian Li 011D RGB (light strips top and bottom)

    Solved. I was looking at Microcenter for an few things and saw an adapter from 4pin to sata... then it dawned on me. I came home and looked and don't know why i didnt see it before but yea... its an sata cable like what goes on the hard drives. I never put 2 and 2 together but finally it...

    Lian Li 011D RGB (light strips top and bottom)

    I shut the computer down and checked all the plugs and moved the one with 3 pins (on the connector with 4 but one blanked out) to another addressable location on the MOBO. I checked settings in bios and played around with the asus app, buttons on the case and no joy on the led lights that are in...

    Lian Li 011D RGB (light strips top and bottom)

    The connector looks like the male version of the last picture (black part).. might not be used on my motherboard and i dont think it has anything to do with the light strips. Does the light strip on the case have a cable coming out any place but where the front panel cables come out? i might be...

    Lian Li 011D RGB (light strips top and bottom)

    I have all but the SATA power connector plugged in. It's not a type of connector i've seen before and dont see a place on the mobo to plug it in. its long and flat and not sure if there is an adapter for it.. i have looked on the mobo for a place to plug it in and nada... nothing.

    Lian Li 011D RGB (light strips top and bottom)

    I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to turn these on. It looks like I have all the plugs plugged into the motherboard from the case. ASUS armory crate says there is an addressable lighting strip but thats as far as I can get with it. I tried Lconnect from Lian Li and nothing. Anyone...

    Nvidia 4060 dual overclock vs. Nvidia 4070 TUF overclock (friend is trying to convince me the 4060 is faster)

    It's ok, I'm 54yrs old, nothing he says is going to offend me. I wasn't even upset when his mom last night called me a shill for her beaver.

    Nvidia 4060 dual overclock vs. Nvidia 4070 TUF overclock (friend is trying to convince me the 4060 is faster)

    haha.. yea i'm not sure all of his reasoning behind it. maybe its the memory on the card or the hype when the card came out. i'm leaning toward the ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 OC Edition HDMI 3 x DP GDDR6X 12GB at this moment. If I hit the lottery this week I'll go ahead and order...

    Nvidia 4060 dual overclock vs. Nvidia 4070 TUF overclock (friend is trying to convince me the 4060 is faster)

    Thanks for the replies folks.. Video cards were always confusing.. soooooo many choices and companies and models and configurations. I was never on the bleeding edge of video cards like a few friends I had so long ago, but this time around i want something that will last me for a few years...

    Nvidia 4060 dual overclock vs. Nvidia 4070 TUF overclock (friend is trying to convince me the 4060 is faster)

    I have a lenovo gaming monitor and the refresh rate i think it 120... i really need to upgrade it. I have to say I game currently at 1440 for the time being.. dont want to replace the monitor right away... perhaps in the near future. I currently play in a Legion I7 xxx laptop and after a few...

    Nvidia 4060 dual overclock vs. Nvidia 4070 TUF overclock (friend is trying to convince me the 4060 is faster)

    Need a video card for my build and after 16 years being out of the computer building game, i have no clue. specs are better on the giant 4070 overclock. However my friend says the 4060 dual overclock with 16g of memory will run over the 4070. What say the masses?

    I have a Microcenter about an hour away (2 hours with traffic... Los Angeles). I'm getting almost all the parts from them since they are localish. I'm ordering stuff tomorrow and will make the out of the way drive to work to pick the stuff up.

    I'm trying to figure out the big difference between the 650 and 670 motherboards and for the life of me cannot see a big difference. I'll look at your motherboard online.. thank you

    Gaming mostly.. the rest of the stuff i do is sending 3d models to the printers, games would be the most intensive thing I do. I think i can get everything this week once decided on what i need/want. The video card might drop to being a nvidia 4070 oc version of some sort as i dont h ave a...
