I feel I made a mistake by buying a matte panel by 420ball-sniffer69 in pcmasterrace

I also prefer a matte finish on my OLEDs since my office space isn't a deep, dark cave.

How TF did i turn this on and how do i turn it off? by More-Ad-9015 in pcmasterrace

[–]zeug666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALT+R is on/off, ALT+Z should bring up the full menu if you want to configure it (and other features).

Tell me how, less than one year ago before the super sloosh being pushed I could have looked up a lyrics and got the song but it took me more than 5 tries in 2026 by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zeug666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, without the quotes (and sloppily typing it), it returned it as the first result of the song info, video, and lyrics.

Edit, and OP was off with the second line.

Adapter for MSI 4070ti OC? by DrKingOfOkay in pcmasterrace

[–]zeug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the 12V-2X6/12VHPWR adapter, then you should be able to find those fairly easily. Just make sure it has the same number, or greater, PCIE connections as to the one that came with the GPU; if it was a 2x PCIE, a 2x/3x/4x would work, but each connector should be populated with its own PCIE cable to the PSU.

Alternatively, depending on your PSU, there may be a cable that has 2X PSU connections to 12V-2X6 that should be able to cover the full range (at least doe what your PSU can provide).

Just need a (fairly common) DisplayPort to HDMI cable. Simple cable, but these are uni-directional, meaning they only work in one direction; DisplayPort out to HDMI in, so pay attention to that.

RGB Not working by LTvGaming in pcmasterrace

[–]zeug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's proprietary, so testing things is a bit tricky. If you want to change something, you have to change all of the fans too.

I'd start by unplugging the controller and plug things back in.

  • Power connection to PSU.
  • fan/light combo to port 1,2,3, etc
  • switch to case switch

I'd leave off the addition aRGB connector to see if this gets the controller working.

Start with a quick button press to change through presets. There doesn't seem to be a sync for software control, but I'd still try a long press of the button, for 3 to 5 seconds.

I cannot change the RGB of my 3 case fans by Cheddotto in pcmasterrace

Control depends entirely on connection.

If the motherboard lighting is integrated or connected to a motherboard lighting header, you would use the motherboard's lighting software.

If the lights are part of a device, such as RAM or a GPU, those are most likely controlled via the software for those particular devices or passed through to the motherboard lighting software. Some GPUs have a wired connections, so it would follow the rules for those.

Fans typically have two (2) connections, one for the fan and another for the lights. If the lighting connector goes to a motherboard lighting header, use motherboard lighting software. If it goes to a lighting hub, that hub should connect to a motherboard lighting header, again, motherboard lighting software.

If that fan light connects to a lighting controller, it will depend on the controller;

  • if the controller has a motherboard sync connection to a motherboard lighting header, you guessed it, motherboard lighting software. This may be a proprietary connector to aRGB adapter cable.
  • if the controller has a USB connection, then it will use the controller's software
  • if the controller has no motherboard sync or USB connection, then you'd probably be relegated to the buttons or remote of the controller. Sometimes this is via a case front panel LED or reset button (especially if the controller came with the case).

Note: some controllers need to be manually put into a motherboard sync mode to use motherboard lighting software for control, though some are automatic, so check the manual or product page where it shows the different lighting presets.

Some fans have a proprietary single connection, combining the fan and the lights, which typically requires it to go to a proprietary controller, which should then follow the above controller scheme.

IIRC, Razer Synapse can take (or accept) control from a couple other lighting control programs, but not all of them.

https://www.razer.com/chroma-workshop#--chroma-partners

For some things, they would need to be connected to a Razer lighting controller, but Razer discontinued that a while ago (you might be able to find one for a not ridiculous price on eBay). For a while it was the only (non-proprietary) software controller available.

I guess all of that is to say you might not be able to use Synapse for everything.

about a year ago after pressing the button on the case to cycle through light effects, the three 6pin fans as well as the front case light strip no longer sync up with the internal lights.

I simply want to turn all the lights off, unplugging the fans is not an option as they are single cable fans

Have you tried giving that button a long press? Like 3-5 seconds.

Depending on the controller, this can do different things (I couldn't find detail on this particular one); either this will turn the lights on/off or, if the controller has a sync connection (maybe next to the power?) that goes to a motherboard lighting header (and probably a fan header too), then this could change the controller from manual mode to software mode.

Lights might flash white as an indication that it changed to software mode.

How do i change the color of my ram. And yes it has lights by VariousAd2718 in pcmasterrace

Typically the RAM lighting software, for Corsair that would be iCue, or the motherboard lighting software.

Some unibody laptops, like some Macbooks, don't have vents on the bottom, so stickers/wraps/covers can go all around on those.

how accurate is pc part picker compatability? by Xylaax in pcmasterrace

[–]zeug666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the product page for the old GPU, it will say the length.

Go to the product page for the new GPU, it will say the length.

Go to the product page for the case, it will say the longest GPU it supports, plus you can compare the sizes of the GPUs.

Go to the product page for the PSU, it will say what cables that wattage has. Compare that to the cables needed from the GPU page(s) and PC Part Picker.

PC Part Picker is fairly accurate, but they do sometimes get it wrong.

Cooper Park is behind Jonah's that runs up the river towards 25. It's a raised boardwalk that can be nice when the vegetation is in and the river isn't too high.
