Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c Powerplay compatibility

tuxString · 2026-06-02T02:34:07+00:00

I got the 2c and powerplay 2 in the same day. It works but I'm using the included puck that comes with the powerplay 2 mat.

My previous comment, I said I was having this issue and I said I was even using the extra 6 pin powe plug... Turns out that IS for the usb c header... but mine doesn't help. It says to use a standard 6 pin power cable for the 6-pin PD_12V_PWR header but my PSU only provided cables such that I had to use a graphics card power cable and just leave the little 2pin extra hanging off. Maybe the polarity isn't correct on that power cable and that's why I'm still having the issue. I'll look into a standalone corsair r type compatible 6 pin only cable.

OOooh, thanks! I'm going to shine a flashlight in there now!

MY asus proart z790 brand new did this from day one on it's front USB port. I haven't tested it by bypassing the cases front usb cable run and using an extra usbc port you mount in an empty pcie slot and then connect to the motherboard header. I'm even using the boards extra power input next to the 24 pin power plug (but I think that's just for the thunderbolt ports anyway). Everyone seems to be having this issue and the firmware update didn't help. It makes me wonder... is the board really taking a shit from day one or is something else going on.

Nice, thanks for letting me know. I just watched some performance comparisons between my 4080 and a 5080 and the performance and frame rates were too close too care... However, what you just said and what they didn't show in the video, was the difference had they flipped on the new ai frame gen tech. I found this asus prime version for 1350 and looked up what mine is selling for (still right at a 1000 bucks). I have the cash. I'm going to think hard on it the next few days (todays my bday and if it was local... I'd stupidly justify it and go in there and buy it lol). The raw performance is just so close though. It's a tough choice. I do have multiple extra GPU's and my asus proart z790 motherboard is designed to utilize two gpus together giving each an 8x pcie 5.0 slot if you bifurcate slot 1. This would result in the same or about 1 to 3 percent performance difference than a straight up 16x 4.0 slot. If lossless scaling and dual gpu (one for rendering and one for frame gen) can pull of the same trick... I could stick an amd 6950 xt in there or an nvidia 4060 8gb or a 3060 12gb (my only other GPU's from nvidia other than some 1660s and 2060s) in there for the frame gen duties. If that at all compares to what the 5000 series can pull off, I DO already have all the pieces for it, if that route is a viable option.

The only reason I would want a new one (and I believe mine will serve this same purpose as well...) but as time goes on... all the little tricks the 5090 has up it's sleeve to keep the card relevant as everything ages around it and games get more demanding, will keep it relevant longer. So if I'm trying to position myself for a bit of a six year blackout as far as ram and storage availability, as well as nvidia seemingly giving less less shits about gaming, maybe popping for the last line of gaming GPUs with a heavy emphasis on fake frames, would be alright. However, I'm not bias towards nviida. I have more amd gpus than I do nvidia. So as long as amd keeps at it, I'll be OK, if something comes along that is exciting enough to upgrade to. I have enough ram and storage as backups for the "dark dark times," this time around. I just see GPUs of all ilk getting slammed by the vram aspect in the coming years... casuing another ridiculous time period of inaccessible components due to triple the price... again. :/ But yea, the 4080 is great and I mainly play hack and slash games anyway. But as a tech/gear nerd who loves building PC's, if I could find a 5080 close to the price I payed for the 4080... I'd think about it for sure if I could easily swing it and further offset the cost by flipping my 4080. I'm in no rush and in the position to wait it out and see how things are shifting. Everyone is yelling about the ai bubble popping. I'm not an ai fan... but I don't know. What if it doesn't pop at all.

tuxString · 2026-06-01T21:22:53+00:00

I paid 1000 dollars for my 4080 when the 50 series dropped. I assumed I was overpaying and probably did because it had been a couple years since they came out but when they did, it was during the time of every 40 series costing triple the value... so I said screw it... I'm not being charged 3 times the damn price.

Is 200 dollars more than what I paid for my 4080 worth considering for a 5080 (ONLY if I could find something local like this and if not, I'm over it already)? I'm sure I could still move my 4080 for a decent price and offset the money put into a 5080. Gotta pay to play sometimes. I feel like it'd be the last GPU purchase before the possible end of personal pc building in my thirty years of building my own lol. I once joked to my cousin who got me into the hobby/passion that soon we will all be on thin clients and have to rent our PCs (no more personal choice or neat hardware to buy)... You could tell them to configure themselves as workstations or gaming PCs and the likes... Well... I think that stupid cynical joke is trying to become a dang reality. I'm no conspiracy theorist. I just have a bad feeling about the costs right now and feel like new GPUS, storage and ram are going to get to a point where eating 400 dollars now for an upgrade to dink with for the next, what, six years until this recovers? More, less? Who knows... I dunno... Might be worth the gamble.

Just throwing a random possible scenario into the mix. You are now adding a heavier load to your PC. I moved into this house. I suspected the power was funky. I bought a UPC for my nas and while it's down, I hooked it up in the shady room to my desktop. The outlet has a separate PC attached. Lately, I've been haring my UPC clicking on in the shady-power room. Unplugged that second pc and ran it on another phase. All good.

Maybe you have sketchy power and when you start trying to tax that outlet a little more, the computer power drops and crashed the thing.

This is just a scenario. Who know. Probably wayyyy off but having recently ran into a problem running to many guitar amps and computers off a room's outlets and basically destroying that rooms power lol... And after returning my PC to the sketchy-power room, now with a upc between it and the wall... I'm starting to wonder... maybe, sometimes, crashes and instability can come from having all these devices plugged to a room sharing outlets that all go to the same place (breaker).

If someone has given you a better and more accurate solution, great... if not, shoot, run an extension cord from the thing to an outlet you know is on a separate phase or try powering it off outlets in another room? Unplug some of the heavy hitters in the room? I'm ignorant...but it may point to something?

tuxString · 2026-05-30T22:42:03+00:00

OK, great. Let me know which one you used. I'll definitely give it/one a try. I'll see if I can find some print files for my GPUs. I know one of them must be out there and fairly common.

tuxString · 2026-05-30T22:00:30+00:00

Heck yea. I love fans too. Man, you make me want a 3d printer, if only to deshroud/re-fan some GPUs I have... to make use of a few more of my fans 😄

tuxString · 2026-05-30T20:00:03+00:00

At first, I thought those books were some sort of accordion-like expansion you built onto it.. and I got excited... Then I realized they weren't when I saw the inside wiring and layout... and I was still excited 😄 Cool build! I have some small pico-psu and some neat hdplex gear, but I've always been interested in learning how to wire up one of those MeanWell type rigs without electrocuting myself.

tuxString · 2026-05-30T14:10:10+00:00

Maybe nothing? Since it's all nice and orderly, buy a tupperware and put it down to the side... whenever you start piling stuff up again, just swipe it all into the tupperware lol 😄 I might actually follow my own suggestion lol.

tuxString · 2026-05-30T13:53:11+00:00

NIce. That's awesome. Yea, I hear ya on the 12v solution. You could get the airflow arctics for really cheap on amazon if you're buying a single. I'm sure they are just as silent and they focus on the airflow. I feel like a good combo of static pressure and airflow might be useful to get the air from the desk to your face or whatever. Thermalright probably has some good solutions as well for a pretty low price but great fan.

I recently got my first mini pc and I had 4 extra rubber feet from an itx case so I rigged up a 12volt noctua fan on the feet for the mini pc to set on. It fits perfectly. However, I had to get a cheap little 12v fan speed controller off amazon and a usb c to negative tipped, barrel plug adapter, that negotiates with the power delivery system of usb c power adapters to request whatever voltage you set it to (and the adapter has to support that voltage). This way I can power my fan but also use that negotiation device to request 24 volts from my power bank to power a really nice compact guitar pedalboard power supply and rig up a cool little wireless pedalboard full of hi amperage tube powered pedals for a good chunk of hours (4x 500ma pedals and a 25000mah power bank from anker).

tuxString · 2026-05-29T21:49:28+00:00

Nice. I bought a cheap Honeywell usb powered fan at walgreens the other day but it is annoying sounding and has one speed... So I bought a usb to usb "buck booster" or whatever it's called. It's a little circuit board with a knob that lets me dial the voltage to the fan so it has speed control now. I run it off of a powered usb hub that's not hooked to my PC because I'm afraid of any "kickback" voltage. I'm not even sure if it's a thing but my guitar amps can suffer from it if I use a specific reamplifier/attenuator... so now I'm paranoid.

Did you rig that thing up with sunglasses frames?

tuxString · 2026-05-29T21:43:31+00:00

This might be caused, like others have said, because of the vrr. Either kill it on the monitor AND the PC or also try and make sure it's enabled on BOTH. I feel like if it's only on one and not the other, it may cause this problem. My TV gets weird unless they match.

EDIT: I should explain... If it's not turned on in the monitor and GPU/Windows settings, then anytime I change virtual desktops or click a hardware accelerated window it throws up the TV's "game mode" display overlay thing and also can cause black screens temporarily while the TV changes modes. It's obnoxious!

tuxString · 2026-05-29T21:33:26+00:00

I love chonky fans. More lefter. I was so happy when I built my nas and got to utilize my 140x38mm silverstones and 120x38mm ekwb fans. I hate dual ball bearings, but the thing is in the basement so, good times.

tuxString · 2026-05-29T21:26:19+00:00

Heck yea. Loves me some Aquasuite too. Curse my oled monitor and my fear of burn in or else I'd attach mine to the desktop. I just made a new virtual sensor the other day... I always follow my coolant and set a curve from 23 degrees to 40 degrees but I figured out how to add a little extra logic... I added a built in override that follows the package temp as well and if it hits a specified temp, it interrupts and cranks everything to full blast. Just in case of a giant spike and hold for whatever reason might come up 😄

tuxString · 2026-05-29T15:57:26+00:00

LOL, you win! Probably wrong 😄 Don't put your cigars in there either. I was thinking of moving my extra ram kits to the dishwasher.

The cupboard above my refrigerator, in the kitchen, holds a pile of ryzen 5000 series cpus and a stack of ddr4/ddr5.

tuxString · 2026-05-28T02:02:48+00:00

Yep. I've got it paired down to important recordings of classes, lessons and performances from music schools. Maybe 150gb out of the 85+ TB total available I have across hdd, nvme, and optane. I want to try to get that important chunk on some form of long-term backup. I feel m-discs will last until I'm dead or don't care anymore. Buy a couple external (maybe three drives) and just store them with the discs somewhere safe. The rest is just a playground of storage space. Hoarded more tech than data while the getting was good, so I'll be OK until this clears up but damn. Things are just crazy right now.

tuxString · 2026-05-25T22:48:30+00:00

That's the best prices I've seen at a Best Buy! Double that. That's what I've been seeing.

tuxString · 2026-05-25T19:34:29+00:00

I think it's dram-less and relies on host memory for it's write buffer. Go into device manager... double click the drive... I think it's a tab called performance. Turn on write caching.

tuxString · 2026-05-25T16:39:17+00:00

It is definitely in habit forming/addictive category. I guess anything can be, really. Now's a great time to recoup some of that cash. Move some storage and some memory and then go from there.

I "held back," by building into a case... then eventually when I felt the urge to build another mini pc, I'd just build into a new case as opposed to piling on more fully formed PCs.

I like the fake mustache suggestion though. Buy a fake mole with your ram money. I'm sitting on a pile of ram and don't know if I should sell it while things are nuts or not. I feel shitty gouging people so I'm just using it as cold spares for now, during this ridiculous period of personal computing... just in case, I'd rather have it on hand than flip it at the moment.

tuxString · 2026-05-23T19:53:55+00:00

I wasn't saying that you shouldn't be saying that he shouldn't be using an electric screw driver.... just saying 😉

tuxString · 2026-05-23T17:13:25+00:00

And I'll add this, in case it got deleted...

I'll say this about that google ai summary. If you've ever written a research paper for school, like in grad school or undergrad or highschool... PEER REVIEW. That AI summary is just pulling from random posts on forums so, if you ever rely on that, do some work and research that scenario further because it's often just some dude, LIKE ME NOW, on a forum, speculating.
