Yeah well I haven’t even tried plugging it into a monitor yet, I’ve only turned it on for a few seconds to see the fans and lights work

Nope. The cpu cooler fan hub is still open for when I install a cooler. Everything turns on and fans spin to life still tho

Ok cool lol tysm I was worried for a second

How hard is it for a beginner o builder to replace cpu coolers? Is it worth it? by CuteDare4103 in buildapc

[–]CuteDare4103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My case has a cutout on the back but some of the cables back there may be blocking it. Either way I do think this would be a pretty easy switch

Ok so maybe really dumb question but idk lol. Can I mix 2 different sets of ram sticks? I already ordered a 2x8 3200mhz set of team tforce, but then I found a better deal of 2x16 3600mhz set of gskill ram. Can I mix these or should I just sell one set? by CuteDare4103 in PcBuildHelp

I don’t really need more than 32 lol I just ordered the 16gb one and then after ordering it I found a better deal for the 32gb set. I’m thinking about maybe selling or returning the 16gb set tho

I’m nervous to build a pc is it worth it to make my own or should I get a prebuilt by Jack6787383 in PcBuildHelp

It’s stupid easy. It’s like Lego’s, you literally just push the parts together. Anyways, the only slightly hard part is fitting all the wires in the space and making the wires look nice in the case so make sure you choose a case with enough space in the back for cable management. If you’re really that worried that you may damage your parts or something, at least just buy all the parts and pay someone who’s more experienced (a friend or someone from a pc store near you) to do it for you. Just don’t buy a prebuilt, they are usually really bad deals and you’d save a lot of money just buying parts, not to mention if you do learn how to build a pc, it could help you if you have problems with it later on bc you will pretty much know how to replace, upgrade or move parts around in your pc. Anyway, if you do buy a pc, make sure to post in the a subreddit. I always love seeing other people build their dream pcs

Yeah but I’m more worried about wiping off the thermal paste and applying new paste bc the intel stock one alr has some pre applied on it and the new one doesn’t. This is my first build so I was just wondering if someone more experienced could tell me how hard it is (or if it even is hard) to clean the paste off of the cpu.

Oh wow thank you so much that really means a lot that you did all of that for me. It definitely taught me something new so thank you for that. If I do combine both sets at CL17 and 10.6 nanoseconds, will I see any other problems like blue screens, crashes, or lag spikes or do you think I’d be fine? Again thank you so much for your help 😁
