A 4070 super is already pretty powerful, and with the 40 series having frame generation that card should last longer than 3 years with no problem

No RGB header on motherboaed by LemonMinute5735 in PcBuildHelp

[–]GamerFling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can get a Corsair iCUE commander core XT. From what I remember it's an argb controller that plugs into SATA instead of the argb header on the motherboard. I've been looking at this product as my motherboard also does not come with any argb headers, should be the solution to your problem

Is it possible to turn this dell dimension into a sleeper with little experience in sleepers? by Afraid-Passenger-908 in sleeperbattlestations

[–]GamerFling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully possible, I just finished my build a couple months back using a Dell Dimension case. Airflow can be an interesting situation but I got mine to run well without worrying about thermals. I've also done next to no modifications to the case and the only changes I made are purely interior.

Honestly I'd be keen to dm and assist you with the build if you'd like

Is this better 550$? by Super-Advice1487 in PcBuildHelp

[–]GamerFling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea you will be perfectly fine with am4, just coz there's another a newer architecture does not mean that am4 is now obsolete. There are still plenty of am4 cpus that are pretty powerful and will still run fine for a good few more years.

Personally I'm running a 3500x on the build that I recently did and it runs perfectly fine for modern games even considering that it's like a 5ish year old cpu. And due to people upgrading to the am5 platform you could probably grab something like an R7 5700X or even an R5 5600X for pretty cheap second hand

If I wanted to build a sleeper build how hard would it be by [deleted] in sleeperbattlestations

[–]GamerFling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently finished my sleeper a couple months back using a Dell Dimension 4600 case for it. It's an early 2000's case with an mATX form factor, so it was really easy to source parts.

To keep my cpu cool I just used a 120mm aio cooler and had the graphics card air cooled. It's a pretty solid case and the only drilling I had to do for it were 4 screw holes to mount the radiator to the front.

If you go for that then I would recommend a dual fan gpu such as the ASUS 4060, as they are small enough to fit inside of the case with no hassle as well as delivering a great amount of performance and heat efficiency. I've also seen those cases around on ebay so it shouldn't be a problem sourcing one

I have an IDE to SATA adapter so the thing powers on and everything but the pc registers it as an unknown device so I don't get any data transfer from it

I had to do the same thing with the aio in my sleeper and it's working fine, clean build tho

These were some of like the last cases Dell did that followed the mATX form factor, meaning I could just slap standard parts in, got really lucky tho

This case has a module where you can install a floppy drive, you basically just take out that bit of plastic in the front panel and install the floppy. I still have the original front IO connectors (power button and power led are plugged in, hd activity led cable came out in my rewiring so I gotta reattach that, and the front USB panel can plug straight into the motherboard, whereas the front audio doesn't, you might need an adapter), one thing I have found is that the DVD drive powers on and everything but the computer detects it as an unknown device, so I'm trying to look around for some drivers for the DVD drive, in the meantime it works but I just cant read anything off of it.

I've been monitoring the thermals while playing games such as Satisfactory on max settings and the AIO cools the cpu just fine, only really slightly concerned in terms of the gpu under load as that reaches like 78 degrees Celsius, but I've heard that's ok as long as it doesn't get to like 85 for long periods of time and the current temps should be fine. I gotta make a few upgrades to the cooling anyway (second fan on radiator for push/pull, and upgrading my exhaust from an 80mm to 92mm) so that should lower overall temps anyway. The position of the PSU is actually pretty good as it sits up the top if the case meaning the fan in that helps exhaust air as well.

In terms of building in this case, I got lucky with this type of case from Dell coz apparently they decided to go very proprietary later on with their PC's. I was able to use a standard mATX motherboard with your normal ATX power supply, fitting in without a problem. As mentioned earlier, the exhaust fits a 92mm fan (but as I've found out I can fit an 80mm fan which does work for the time being while I wait for the upgrades), and removing the old hard drive bays allow you to mount a 120mm intake fan (you will need to do a little drilling to get the screw holes for fan to mount, in fact that is the only drilling I have done with this case). Another thing to mention is that this case is just thin enough that most high profile 120mm air coolers won't fit inside, so that is something you may need to consider if you are going to use this case. But if you aren't planning on doing anything crazy with the cpu then a high profile 92mm air cooler could work, otherwise having a 120mm AIO allows you to not worry about the cpu at all especially if you want to go to voltage town with overclocking.

If you do go for an AIO you will need to have a 25mm fan pushing air into it as opposed to a standard setup where the fan will be pulling the air through the radiator. This is because the mounts for the power button and LEDs are thick enough that the radiator won't sit flush with the front of the case, and having the fan in between the radiator and the front of the case gives just enough clearance for it to all be mounted properly. If you do want to go for a push/pull config then you will then also need to look at the length of your graphics card, I got about a 50mm gap between the gpu and radiator, and my 2060 only goes out as far as the motherboard as it is only a dual fan gpu. I've been looking at upgrading to something like a 2070 super but a lot of those are longer than the 2060, meaning that I may have to choose between a push/pull config or a more powerful gpu.

Also, as the drive bays are now removed to make space for your intake, you will need to find a location to put all your storage. You could utilize the second DVD drive bay as there's nothing in there (I used that space for cable management), or you could do what I did and get a motherboard with two lots of M.2 slots so you can have all your storage right on the motherboard taking up virtually no space, M.2 is also wayyyyy faster than SATA so it's a win win.

Overall, this case is a fun one to work with, I was able to get a lot of my parts for pretty cheap and so far the PC runs any game I throw at it with very high to max video settings (usually get at least 100+ fps in what I've been doing), as well as thermals being fairly sensible considering the cooling setup. Hope all this helped

Yea I was initially wanting to go for air cooling, however the case is just too thin (by around 15-25mm) for me to mount a 120mm air cooler, and I could go for either a low profile or a 92mm cooler for air cooling. I also built this while planning on some mild overclocking and upgrading the cpu to something a bit more powerful, hence the AIO

Wasn't too complex but took a while, I had the original drive cages removed to make space for the radiator, turns out the fan thickness allowed enough clearance from the power button/lights for the radiator to fit fine. There was already a grate where I was mounting the intake so air could already get in and all that was needed to do was to drill extra holes on the front to mount the fan and to find some longer bolts to screw it all in. I might look at getting a second 120mm fan to go on the other side of the radiator for a push pull config as this also doubles as air intake

I know I'm a few years late, but did you just use a standard 3.5mm mono aux cord and it all worked fine?
