Well, I imagine nobody's looking at this thread anymore, but I figured out what's going on
When i set the RGB mode to a static color, or strobe effect or various other "easy" settings, everything coordinates perfectly fine (so obviously the RGB addressing is working well)
It's only when set to...
It looks exactly like that in aura sync for me (but with the RAM/strip still not working)
i let it go for a week or so to just enjoy the new build but will get back to trying to tackle this tonight
I'm debating buying this as I still have some vibration: https://www.amazon.ca/Almencla-Computer-Supply-Vibration-Silicone/dp/B07VZ9NFZK/ref=sr_1_48?dchild=1&keywords=Power+supply+vibration+absorber&qid=1612798302&sr=8-48
Panel is in the case as per typical installation
the rubber pads were my attempt at prevening the metal panel from causing a vibration against the top and bottom (also metal) - the vibration originates from the PSU (just a theory) or something else but the metal "carries" it and then the hum...
3x WD Green (5400 RPM) and 1x WD Blue (i think it's also 5400 RPM?) they are all quite old
i don't want to rip the case open at the moment but i'll annote the other pic I sent in a sec
i noticed my case came with a couple little 3M strips of rubber i put one at the top and bottom of the panel and re-installed it - so far so good but it's only been like 2 minutes
also note that for me at least (probably everybody?) that metal panel touches the PSU unit a bit...so supports the...
i took this thing out and so far i've only heard the faintest of hum - barely even noticeable
so i'm closer - obviously this metal panel wasn't the cause of the hum but it was helping amplify/spread it
Agreed - will be my project during/after my 1:30 meeting. I suspect the PSU is a good chance the culprit as it's old whereas everything else is brand new. GPU is old too i guess but vibration happens even when GPU fans aren't running
I've been reading a bit that the vibrations from hard drives can travel through the case due to the way the hot-swap cradles are connected - so I'm going to try taking all 4 drives out tomorrow and seeing if that helps (my 4 hard drives are all just raw storage...SSD does the actual work so...
Does anyone have this case and experience a pulsing humming sound - seemingly caused by vibration of some kind?
I've been feeling around in there all day trying to pinpoint this hum and I just can't seem to figure it out - driving me nuts
I've tried tightening all the fans or even just...
Thanks for your response!! I'm glad there is a possible scenario where all this gets worked out. At this point a windows re-install is a step I'm unwilling to take as the cost/benefit to going through all that again isn't there for me - i'm going to keep trying everything I can short of that...
Temps are (in my opinion good and room for some OC which I will do in a few weeks)
Interestingly I've noticed that games don't run up temperatures as much as certain other things...2 examples...
In games with heavy play (Elder Scrolls Online which is hard on CPUs) I haven't gone past 62deg...
