@qvengador said in Aorus Master Z690 Connections:

The cable that goes to the fan_CPU contact on the board only has one cable.

Ok, too bad because that's just the cable that tells the fan speed, if it also had the next one (two) it would be the pwm control one, and then even though the 12 volts came from somewhere else, you could control the pump from the motherboard.
Technically it can be done the same way, but the connectors don't allow it. The wire they leave for the board (the one for the rotation speed) is only there because if they didn't, the bios would give an alarm for a stopped/broken fan, and the easiest way to avoid it is that.

By the way, hwinfo64 can open real-time graphs of whatever you want, just right-click on the value you want and choose it from the context menu.

@clipper said in Do you know if the Corsair iCUE H150i cooling system includes thermal paste?:

In the first stress test photo, everything is maxed out, pump and fans included.
And there is no difference between everything maxed out and relaxed in relation to the water temperature.

Of course, there was always enough water, it's in the micro where you could improve a little, did you do it?

@clipper said in Do you know if the Corsair iCUE H150i cooling system includes thermal paste?:

In theory, with iCUE you can make different curves in the management of fans and I suppose also of the pump.

Look at it, it's convenient that the pump is at maximum during moments of maximum heat production.
The fans, on the other hand, in a liquid system should rotate based on the water temperature only.

@clipper said in Do you know if the Corsair iCUE H150i cooling system includes thermal paste?:

The doubt would be: can a D5 be connected to the GPU so that the GPU controls it? Or does it need another "gadget"?

Yes, it can.

If your graphics card has a 4-pin PWM connector to connect an external fan, you can already do it. The pump must also be PWM, of course, and the only thing you need is an adapter that takes the 2 + and - 12v cables from the pump to a Molex connector from the power supply, and the other 2 cables (tachometer and PWM control) from the pump to the 4-pin connector of the graphics card.

In cases where the motherboard and graphics card exchange information, you can do the same but using a connector from the motherboard and sending it according to the graphics card's temperature.

You could even control the pump with the PWM signal of one of the series fans (since you're going to remove them), but that already requires tinkering with the wiring or locating the specific connector model to make yourself an adapter.

P.D. to avoid contaminating this post, I think it would be better to open a new one.

Yes... better

Usually, the more modern version is worth it even if it's a slightly inferior model, I'm not up to date with intel but from what jordiqui says, it seems that's what's happening in this case.
If the platform is also more modern, it would be worth looking into as there could be other advantages or improvements beyond the net performance of the cpu.

@sylver When you say sound system, some people might get confused.
Mainly this: processing circuitry, digital/analog converter, pre-amplification (if any) and emitters (speakers).
The SNR also falls on the pre-amplification in addition to the DAC

@sylver said in Sound motherboard versus sound card:

they will continue to sound like rusted tin

Haha I've had that, a long time ago my first PC speakers and first tower, I thought the sound system was terrible and it wasn't bad, what were so extremely bad those speakers for office work that indeed sounded like tin, horrible.

@qvengador To sum up, it seems that those considering Realme recommend stretching the budget up to 450€ which allows you to buy the Realme GT 2 8/128GB.

You can easily find it on the website of the price comparison tool that I sent you in the private message.

Best regards!

@mystique I will try to see how it went. Thanks.

Thanks, in the end I decided and bought it. And everything is fine. Thanks.

Many thanks for the information about the i7 and i5. Manufacturers should have pity on people like me. Who thinks that as the number increases, performance increases. Why do they do it like this, unless you have knowledge, it turns into a mess.

Thanks for your contribution. In the end, I bought the ROG Strix XG27AQ
The thing is that buying this monitor with my PC, I could have saved myself the money. Although of course it looks good. I don't make the most of it. But this is another one of my stubbornness in life.
There's more to learn.....

Well, but maybe in time you'll get more out of it when you upgrade your PC, you never know. How much did it cost you?, if it's not indiscreet to ask.

Best regards.

The price at that time was 600 euros, now it costs less. It was a whim. I don't make that kind of expensive purchases. I haven't bought anything for months after that

I want to share with you my great joy at achieving the sound in AC3. Without your help I would not have managed to get it. Just as you told me, I managed to find the dobe digital live and it already works thanks.

Either the connection is faulty somewhere or one of the devices (source or destination) is not configured correctly.
I join the mystery of the "home effect".

Thank you very much for your response. It is about the subwoofer of a Gigaworks S750 sound system. The subwoofer is not just that, I mean that it is also responsible for the connections of the speakers so that they produce sound. Well, it does not work and while searching on the internet I found a tutorial to repair it. It talked about the capacitors that had to be changed because they were in bad condition. At first glance I do not see them as bad. I mean they are not swollen or leaking anything. I only see a capacitor in the shape of a lens that looks like it has come apart because it seems to have leaked something.
In short, the equipment does not work. The power LED starts to blink.
And I am not very sure what I could do with it. I accept opinions, I mean if I should give up on it and look for an amplifier and subwoofer.

Yes, I also took time to get it...
...I'm so old already. :older_man_tone3:

The last one I got really hooked on was Quake III Arena, which, by the way, has been open source for years and can be downloaded for free.

The size of the player adapts to the screen. In principle the user cannot modify the size. The plugin I use should reduce the size to 640x360 but I don't know why it doesn't. I'll look into it later.

Thanks for replying. Well, he doesn't have time to see what it says, he does it extremely fast. In the startup applications list, I don't see anything that makes me suspicious. That's why I'm more annoyed. Because I don't know what he's doing in that console. I was looking for something that would make it load the startup pausedly by giving return or something like that.

@cobito said in Ubuntu network card name change:

Well yes, the truth is that Samba sometimes has some strange behaviors. If you only use PCs with Linux I suggest you try file transfer via SSH. Dolphin (KDE) can use it as a file system more. It is safer and more versatile than Samba. From the console you can use the scp command to copy from one machine to another. The only drawback is that you can only move by ips and domains.

Thanks I didn't know that particular.

Vale thanks.
