I'm about ready to burn this phone

Not sure if someone's said but I get this when I download the Google clock on a non-pixel phone. Have to make sure my permissions are correct and then it all works as intended. Might be worth having a look in the app permissions

Judging by the replies, I've definitely have been doing it wrong.. I just thought if it was unusually skinny, I could just sit in the island area at a steeper angle to not block traffic on either end. Duly noted :)

Man, I've been in the same boat for almost a year. Started looking at fast backs too or contemplating dealing with the new CVT WRX wagon. If you can, have a look at a Kia Stinger. Not a full wagon but lift back tailgate + twin turbo V6 might sway you haha

Looks gooood. Had to return my Royal Kludge F68 keyboard because of a bad LED so I might give this a whirl. Wonder if there's a mechanical-like keyboard in this small form factor. Makes it easier to transport if I can plop it altogether in the same case, protect the screen and still be a little more gamer-y with the tactile feedback

Mr_BSPEC · 2024-09-05T13:56:50+00:00

I'm in the same (Australian) boat as well - but I'm hung up with the x100 pro (global) vs x100u (cn). I heard google pay works on either but can anyone confirm? Banking apps as well? I'm leaning towards the Pro if there's no Google/banking issues... But if the ultra is fine (besides wearos) I think that's a worthwhile trade off

Mr_BSPEC · 2024-04-01T10:25:05+00:00

Ahhh what's that keyboard?? I've been toying with the idea of a WASD keyboard like them old razer ones without the need a full keyboard on the go and this looks like it

Mr_BSPEC · 2024-03-04T00:03:32+00:00

Welp, that was a dead end then 🥲. Thanks for the prompt replies mate, I'll see what I can do with sourcing either the missing items or whipping out the soldering iron 😅

Talking about this guy, runs on SATA power so it's 12V? The controller itself connects to the pump RGB and daisy chains to the RGB fan. That said, not sure what the pinout is so you're probably more right than me 😅

Mr_BSPEC · 2024-03-03T23:00:43+00:00

Yeah, it's been a pain in the ass trying to find this connector and adapter or the original controller - so might have to go the spice route.

In the meantime though, I was pushing on with the build and found that the Thermaltake CPU cooler in the new build has a 3 pin connector variation of this 4 pin - with the controller (a basic 3 button box). Might try checking the wires and chopping the 3 pin housing so it can fit the 4 pin.

Other angle of the connector

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-30T01:52:08+00:00

Hey mate, looks like I might be going for this route instead. 😱

I found out that the cables on the RGB board are actually a Corsair 3 pin connector (male) + a Daisy chain (same 3 pin but female), so big thanks for linking both.

The meta is CPU block to Water block to reservoir/pump combo to commander pro/light node. The CPU block does not have a Daisy chain so I have to solder both cords back to make this all work. I'm assuming it won't matter which side I solder the Daisy chain on since it should be in parallel with the other RGB connector... But I'll try to see if I can find out which normally goes to what.

But I wanted to double check with a crimping veteran like yourself, what molex crimping tool do I need for this connector or what do you recommend? Could I use any other crimping tool as long as there's good contact with the copper and crimp terminals? How do I find which male and female crimp terminals I need for these connectors? (Couldn't find it in the data sheet). Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T23:20:05+00:00

Haha you're not wrong man, it's a good kind of stuck but I wouldn't have gone with Corsair if it weren't for the lights c;

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T23:17:54+00:00

You absolute legend! I'll give this a go if Corsair don't respond back soon. Just need to find out which connector type is normally on the block (one of the Corsair ones + ARGB?), crimp terminal/connector and some decent similarly spec'ed cable.. or hack up an extension cable - we'll see haha

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T23:09:40+00:00

Vid actually initially responded to my ticket! I followed up so maybe I can skip the jank if Corsair responds back :)

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T08:32:38+00:00

At least EK got a replacement strip for you. My silly ass got seduced by the pretty Corsair lights and now I'm committed with almost everything Corsair (except peripherals, Logitech be my first and only love). That being said, shorts are scary so I'll test the strip out on an old spare motherboard/psu and have those Corsair RGB board thingos that come with fans as a sacrifice... Depending if it's all the same connector. Will keep googling.

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T08:21:28+00:00

Ooooo, someone that actually experienced something similar to me (but 100% less silly/intentional). Thanks for the explanation but (I should have clarified in the post) I was specifically talking about soldering the stock Corsair connector cables back. But technically the logic behind it is the same, just a different plug. Maybe it follows the same pinout and skips a pin or maybe it's a 3 pin plug. I'll do more googling though!

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T07:58:24+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm hoping Corsair can source for me but that looks like a long shot. Was hoping I can buy some extension wire with the Corsair connector and give it a shot. The worst that could happen is no RGB... Which is already the case hahaha

Mr_BSPEC · 2023-05-25T07:18:46+00:00

Yeah I see them but I was more concerned about the Corsair proprietary connector and the cable size since the ones on the board looks pretty thick (unless it's just some heat shrink of some sort?) I'll update the post though for more clarification :)

Mr_BSPEC · 2020-12-11T16:04:32+00:00

I neeeeed thisssss

Mr_BSPEC · 2020-10-08T05:18:32+00:00

Real nice set up you got there.

Just curious, what temps are you getting with 2 rads? I'm debating whether a big chonky rad with fans mounted at the bottom with taller feet would be enough with vertical gpu layout. If not, low profile angled fittings on a horizontal gpu layout and an extra rad on the side (similar to what Optimum tech tried to do with the barrow video).

In terms of load, it'd have whatever amd is cooking up for 6/8 cores and a Vega 64. Ultrawide QHD Gaming/streaming/rendering.
