My new build. Probably the nicest I've ever done! I have used my old pump and res as I'm having trouble finding info on a distro plate for the 900DX. This is the best case I've ever owned and ive been building pc's for years. A distro in here would be amazing. I want in the end to have a pc that looks like a med bay in a spaceship clean, clinical and white.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

I just bought a be quiet! pure power 13 M to replace an older Xilence unit and I already regret it. The Sata power cables included are this poorly thought through passthrough design that only works with ancient drive bay design cases.

ALL of the connectors are like this, it's impossible to mount an SSD flush on a surface, like, oh, ALL modern cases do on the rear panel for SSDs??

I'm baffled that a power supply as modern as this comes with cables like this. I trusted that it would just be okay and that was a mistake.

Now I'm effectively blocked from most case designs (like this Fractal Pop Air) I've been eyeing because this PSU is terribly designed and the cable will not fit.

Genuinely what can I even do except return this?

Edit:

Corsair PSUs come with straight connectors! I think the best option is returning it and buying a Corsair power supply if you have 2.5" drives and case from the last 10 years. That way you avoid buying and shipping ugly extensions separately to fix this.

I think be quiet power supplies should be avoided for now until this is fixed in a future design.

Eines meiner lieblings Aufbauten. Hier wollte ich den Fokus ein wenig auf Licht und Schatten legen. Inspiriert durch die Shadow Serie von bequiet! Und es wurden eben Teile von der Pure , Dark und Shadow Serie verbaut.

be quiet! doesn't make Linux software for their keyboards. I asked their support directly whether a Linux app was planned. Short answer: no.

The Dark Mount does have a web app, and it works, but anything actually useful is Windows only. Commands, scripts, key combos, none of that works on Linux. And I got tired of having to open a website every time I wanted to change something.

So I wrote my own software instead. It does all of it natively: macro keys, the images on the macro keys, and the Media Dock.

I got there through protocol reverse engineering. No disassembly involved, I just watched what the official software sends over USB and rebuilt it from that.

Everything you see in the screenshots works properly.

Still on my list:

• Media tool, so the dock can show track title and artist on Linux
• Live CPU/GPU/RAM readout on the display. I have an idea for this that avoids the flash memory problem entirely, by feeding values into the clock display instead of writing images. Needs a lot more testing before I promise anything.

If there's interest I'll put it up publicly soon. Going on holiday for 3 days first though :P

Feedback welcome.

Straight Power 11 1000W platinum.

I noticed this when I upgraded my fans and it worries me.

I've tried to look it up but got mixed messages, some saying it's definitely a fault others say it's normal when the capacitor discharges or the intermittent connection of the switch itself.

It still works I tried for a moment, then I removed all plugs to my PC to investigate and after provoking it to record it it smelled slightly of the typical electric smell and the side opposite to the fan is slightly warm.

If any of y'all got the same PSU can you try slowly flipping the switch and tell me if it does the same.

I already opened a ticket with BeQuiet but I would likely have to pay for shipping and don't wanna waste time without the PC and money on shipping if this is normal.

(I only used 1 hand and checked if the GFCI was working to reduce risk, be careful with electricity guys)

I shot customer service a message, asking if they offer free stickers to customers, so that I could stick a few on my Light Base and laptop. They said they would forward the request to their marketing team, and 10 days later, a box showed up on my doorstep instead of a letter!

I could not have expected this at all and I'm super appreciative of the marketing team member that opted to send out some extra fans in addition to the stickers. ❤️

​I am 41 years old, so I have seen them all and built a lot of PCs.

​My last gaming rig I built myself was a 7800X3D with a Dark Rock Pro 4. I liked the way you screw the 'Rock' onto the motherboard, as I did before with some other builds I made for friends.

That's why I don't really look at the stuff closely enough anymore like I used to. ​Now, fast-forward 2 years, and I found it was time to clean my PC, remove the paste, and replace it with a Kryonaut graphene sheet. But looking at it now, it seemed some of the paste didn't get tightly pressed between the Dark Rock and the CPU all that well.

So I started to investigate. ​Now I found out that 1 side of my Dark Rock has a little ridge at the end of the metal, around 0.2 mm—I can catch it with my nail (see my photos). Is this just a bad batch? I cannot believe this little ridge should be there.

​In the pic with my finger behind the ridge, you see it best I think. I believe this ridge prevents my Dark Rock from pressing flush against my CPU.

​What do you guys think?

"Edit: spelling check"

P.s the side with the little thermal paste on the heatpipes is the side with the ridge.

Salut tout le monde !

J’ai actuellement un Ryzen 7 7800x3d et une 5080, ça tourne magnifiquement bien.

Pour refroidir mon processeur j’ai un Bequiet! Pure Loop 2 FX et ça fait 2 ans que je l’ai.

Bequiet préconise de faire l’appoint de liquide tous les 2 ans, et j’ai plusieurs amis qui l’ont et m’ont dit d’en remettre que si je vois que les températures montent etc.

J’ai donc 3 questions : est il VRAIMENT nécessaire de faire l’appoint si tout marche bien et que les températures n’augmentent pas ?

Si un jour la pompe meurt (parce que ça arrivera bien un jour), que se passe t’il concrètement ? Le pc s’arrête ? Cela endommage t’il le processeur ?

Et enfin, combien de temps dure un AIO en général ?

Merci pour vos réponses ! ☺️
