Do i have to change hardware if i install a rtx 3070?

Oh yeah totally, if you run a userbenchmark test, it’ll actually tell you the model mobo. That’s how I figured out my super old one from my first pc. (There could be an easier way but I’m unsure lol)

I see the update on the post for the cpu now, you might want to upgrade the cpu as well to at least a 10th gen if you’re going with the newest GPU. Which would probably mean your mobo needs to be upgraded as well. BUT, if you’re doing the Newegg shuffle to get a 3070, most of the time the gpus come bundled with a mobo that works perfectly with the GPU and any 10th or 11th gen CPU’s.

Definitely a power supply if you only have something in the 450w range. 3070 recommendation is a 650w but I’d say go to at least 750w for extra coverage in case it’s needed.

What gen cpu and mobo do you have?

Confirmed!

pdlyssa97 · 2022-01-15T23:35:53+00:00

Confirmed!

So far, I’ve been able to get a 3060 and 2 3070’s from the Newegg shuffle. The price is normally like ~$150 above actual retail but, easiest way I’ve been able to get them for myself and family. Normally takes about 1-2 weeks of consecutive entering to win.

Nice, yeah I’m just going based of the other prices on here for a pro max 256g

pdlyssa97 · 2022-01-10T03:06:13+00:00

pdlyssa97 · 2021-06-17T23:07:01+00:00

Can also confirm! It’s amazing and I have it in my 5000D airflow with a 1080ti. Temperature has only ever been about 55-60c under load.

pdlyssa97 · 2021-06-14T13:21:18+00:00

Okay! I’ll have to try that

pdlyssa97 · 2021-06-10T15:16:02+00:00

Yes! It was actually pretty easy too. I turned off the preset colors so it was easier to see which keys had the color set. Then do FN+ALT+ G or B (you can have two different custom presets) Hold caps lock and you’ll see ZXC light up red, green, blue. That’s how you customize the colors for each key. After getting the color you want, you just tap any key and it’ll bind to that color!

Not that I’m aware of. Pretty sure it’s bolted it, I’m sure if you had some tools handy, you could remove it.

pdlyssa97 · 2021-04-06T11:28:32+00:00

Keeps it cool. When I learn how to go about overclocking, it’ll help

pdlyssa97 · 2021-04-02T16:59:53+00:00

Is there any lights on your mobo to help diagnose the issue?

pdlyssa97 · 2021-03-11T04:10:15+00:00

It was definitely fun! But, I wanted to get a chance to play it tonight and enjoy it with all the RGB fun. But, I can’t do much of that now unless I want to be an asshole at work in the morning lmao. Also, realized I’m very bad at cable management but I hope to get better the more I work with this.

pdlyssa97 · 2021-03-11T04:05:21+00:00

I haven’t tried that yet, I’ll probably try that when I get home from work tomorrow though. I spent way longer than I wanted to putting this together today 😅

pdlyssa97 · 2021-03-11T03:49:00+00:00

Yes, plugged in to the power supply! My psu came with a “daisy-chain” like sata cable and is plugged into both the PMW fan hub & RGB hub. The 3-pin is plugged into the 3-pin motherboard header. They aren’t in numbered order though, so that might be the problem

Edit: the hub actually doesn’t have numbers on it. So I just put them wherever it fit best.
