    System will not boot with Wifi M2 card installed

    Got a weird issue on one of my machines. I wanted to add a M2 AX201 wifi card to the setup (Asus Z390-P with i5-8400.) The system will not boot with this card installed. Can't even turn the power on. I've only needed to change network cards in Laptops before and they always just worked. Latest...

    What's the truthful reason(s) for the GPU shortage?

    AMD 6x.. cards are no better than the last gen 5700xt at mining. Roughly equal to a 3070 at worse wattage. If you are looking ROI the reference cards would decent but the AIBs are a tougher pill to swallow. They also don't appear to be as good at the productivity and work applications. I think...

    What's the truthful reason(s) for the GPU shortage?

    Stop looking at GPUs as "GPUs." They were once primarily used for PC gaming and rendering, now they are more like simulation computation units. Take a look at nVidia GTC on what amphere actually is, a simulation architecture that also happens to be damn good at playing these "videogamez." The...

    Fan orientation

    Not sure about 9 intake with one exhaust. For Air cooling I tested top/bottom intake - side / rear exhaust and temps was definitely worse vs bottom/side intake - top/rear exhaust on the XL. Still waiting for my distro plate to test out the WC temps with both setup.s

    Fan control question

    Thanks! They won't be going anywhere lowest speed until I get my WC loop in. Maybe I'll switch over then. Fan splitter would mean potentially more cables in the front, I think 4 of these fans is getting dangerously close to the 1A header limit.

    Dark Hero - Where is the DRAM SPD WRITE option?

    Thanks! I'm debating looks but I think White might be the way to go here. I went with the white LLs for the radiator fans too, but stuck to rimless White EZ-DIYs for the 4 case fans. Thankfully just needed to stick in one Light node so far.

    Dark Hero - Where is the DRAM SPD WRITE option?

    Interesting setup. You are the only one I’ve seen with the gpu cables coming from the top. I found sometimes starting the computer from power off (especially if psu is hard shut off makes the aura sync stop.) Shutting down and starting again turns it back on again. Btw where did you get the...

    Got the S21 ultra with the Canadian trade in deal on my S9. 64GB was getting too small. I got the 512gb since 256gb was OOS. It came back in stock right after I confirmed purchase. So far everything's been good. The only annoying thing is the uneven back with the camera pod. The phones fits in...

    Do you have another card to test? Also worth swapping out the cable and/or plug into different port on the card to check.

    Ebay will charge the buyers tax per state rules (You can see the amount in paypal afterwards.) For Canadians they will also charge GST on top of final value fees (which applies to both shipping and item)

    I have the same setup DH/Neo-Z/Lian-Li. Did you see all 3 devices under Aura Sync when you open AC? The Strip also needs to be set to MB mode (Keep clicking "M" button on the case until you get the colorshift with Aura. I didn't have any problems with BIOS 3202 Beta/3204

    Just wondering what happened to them in the NA market. I remember them having unique PCB/Cooling solutions back in the day. Now I only see them in Asia markets. I wish I kept that giant 6800ultra cooler.
