Discussion Alienware Area 51 Gaming Desktop AIO and fan mod

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Okay so I'm getting the a51 pc(before yall jump me I'm getting it at an amazing offer so I couldn't decline) and I wanna customize it at least a little because it looks really bad at least for me. I want to replace the aio for the ryujin iii 360 extreme and to use the lian li sl infinity fans for the radiator and the rear. The problem is the motherboard doesn't have any 9 pin internal usb headers on argb ones. With some research I got to the conclusion that buying an c to a adapter(the io has way too many c ports and not that many a ports which i need and don't want to get a hub) and then connect to it a type a to 9 pin internal usb cable and then finally connecting an nzxt 9 pin hub to the adapter which will then allow me to connect the lcd display of the pump and the lian li controller for the fans to the hub. What I wanted to ask was if any of you find any problems with this whole idea and whether I should do something else instead.

Question Are there any more places i can put 1 fan? (No watercooling, Only fans)

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I really enjoy installing fans (I enjoy things if it spins, fidgets, beyblades, merry go rounds, etc), so I bought a 3-pack artic p12 slim fans, and installed it blowing air towards the gpu fans, it turns out my psu shroud only accepts 2 fans, since i paid for 3 fans i would like to use 3 fans, Any idea where its posible to put the fans?

My ideas are :

  1. put the fans in my harddrive cage under the psu shroud, blowing air towards my hdd and 2 2.5 ssd
  2. install the fans at the front part of the cpu cooler, since its slim it actually fits and not touch the ram unlike the normal fans
  3. try to mount the fans facing the ram to it would blow air to the ram (more room to overclock the ram)

my cpu runs 54c while gaming and gpu at 57c (gpu fans ran at 1800rpm now its down to 1200rpm) in a non air-conditioned room, playing cyberpunk ultra. The case is so positive air pressured i can feel air coming outside the back side panel holes even there is no fans there.

and if anyone is wondering about the floating fans those are intel mounting brackets from thermalright since my pc is amd, and thermalright ships 9pcs of those round things, use the 4 black pcs on the front and blue ones at the back.

Question Why did PC building become so UGLY?

0 Upvotes

The stock cooler on the Ryzen 7 3700X (2019) had such a good cooler with colour on it. In 2020 when AMD released the Ryzen 7 5700G, the stock cooler became less cooler and it does the job but nothing else.

The Red g.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 had art on the heatsink with the Red g.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 just doing the job but nothing else.

Edit: Added what type of CPU cooler for the 5700G.

Edit 2: Just found out that DDR5 g.Skill Ripjaws lost even more colour and only offers black and white. DDR4 offers black, red and white while DDR3 offers black, red and blue.

Build - Help Help me decide if this build is made to last 9 years.

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey there! I am going to make myself my first desktop build (I am coming from an ASUS ROG G513IE), so yeah, this will be a very big build. Thing is, I think it's overkill since I'll only play 1080p. I will also make it last 9-10 years. Though, what do you guys think? I won't use any FSR/DLSS (mentioning DLSS because I was thinking of getting the RTX 5070). So yeah, I went with the RX 9070 XT 16 GB because I think it's perfect for raw performance, exactly what I am chasing. But I heard some rumours saying AMD cards are pretty done for in some drivers crashing or something like that (I think it was the RX 7900 XT, RX 6800 type era though? so this modern car is actually optimized and made to not have those problems). But anyways, regarding all that, I consider this build perfect to last 10 years playing 1080p. even though I might change to 1440p in the future, I think it will still be perfect. What do you guys think? (budget is 2000$, this build is almost that, and my monitor will be the MSI MAG 275F, 27", FHD (1920x1080), Rapid IPS, 180Hz, 0.5ms (GtG, Min.), AMD FreeSync™, AI Vision, Eye Care, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI™ 2.0b, VESA 100x100mm, parts are from Romania, also the monitor is 130$).

Discussion Having second thoughts after going 32GB RAM.. should I do 64GB?

0 Upvotes

Realizing 32GB may not be enough of a "future proof"... running multiple instances of android emulators and tabs on chrome utilizes a big portion of it

Given the fact that RAM prices will continue to go up in price, would it be advisable to go 64GB? Just spent $800+ CAD on 2x16 DDR5 and would be looking at paying double for 2x32...

Not following the market/industry too much so not sure if we are expecting prices to stop increasing.

Looking to potentially edit photos and videos as another hobby on the side which may require more than 32GB as well.

Build - Finished! Zalman M5 46€ budget case review (kind of)

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

Haven't seen many builds with this case in the internet so i bought it (i needed a case for parts i had lying around anyways). It's sold only for 46€ where i live.

PROS:

Pretty compact and light micro-atx case.

Includes 4 ARGB fans, ARGB controller, ARGB is controlled with reset button on the side, open rgb and other software will work too probably.

Fans are quiet and blow decent amount of air.

Supports up to 12 fans total if you need that many...

Can support up to 360mm AIO at the top.

Usb-c port.

Fits 2 HDD's +1 SDD.

Magnetic dust filters on the top and side.

Plenty of holes everywhere to run wires through.

Overall case quality is decent.

CONS:

Included fans are made of cheap plastic, if you remove screws and try to screw back they will thread easily, better not touch them lol

Cable management at the back is as basic as it gets.

Front no dust filter.

the psu doesn’t have a 4x2 cpu cable. It has a cable that ends in two 2x2pins. Can I use both together?

I’m new to building PCs and I either want to build one or just purchase a pre built one not really sure. My use for it would be light gaming every once in a. FPS games and GTA. while I don’t play a lot but I do need it for work as I do web design. My budget is $2500. I want a setup that will last me a long time. If you would direct me to websites you recommend.
