​@Skippy R same here, been using the same pc speaker for the last 3 or 4 builds now. I just keep moving it over to my new mobo cause they dont come with them anymore.

tore the speaker out of an old case to put in my new one lel

Just a few days ago I bought a dozen speakers on Amazon. They're calling it now "pc buzzer" because a search for "pc speaker" returns regular loud speakers. 🙄

I still use the system speaker to diagnose boot issues on my home server. I guess they still put speakers on server motherboards because they are (as in my case) run headless.

That's the best thing I've ever heard

@@ChildOfTheWilderness As did I until a pile of parts I bought from a guy had an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard in it to mount my 3770 into - the Z77 X4 has a dual 7-Segment LED display for doing POST diagnostics, and it's the first Mobo I've ever had with anything more than a speaker. Up until last summer I was running an i7-870 on an Intel DH55TC motherboard, and before that it was some sort of Athlon 64 processor, probably a 667MHz or something - it was over a decade ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. My first PC I could call "mine" was a 486 SX-25 and between that one and this one I've only had maybe 4 or 5 major upgrades, so piezoelectric motherboard speakers are still "normal" to me.

I like how we have come back, even in the past some motherboards had an LED codes that told you the issue.

Motherboards have done that for as long as I can remember. You Just had to plug in the speaker and hear the error code back in the old days.

Generic magnetic dust filters are a godsend, and so are PCI mesh covers. Really helps to vent GPU heat out the back. Probably include PCI bracket mounting USB ports, I seem to never have enough ports...

My case has the 3 fans upfront with a glass panel that's open on the sides, so the center is blocked but the sides allow air flow. Then there's the fan in the back, but it has a vent ontop with the same style glass panel above it. Also has glass panel doors on the sides.

Gamers Nexus is a god send for case reviews :D

I see your post is from 9 months ago, and I know this is off topic, but your talk about cases got me going. I don't understand why there aren't a couple case designs available out there like cases from the mid to late 2000's with 5+ 5-1/4 bays to be able to add these hot swap cages and really expand storage reusing old equipment as servers.

Thank you! I agree about SSDs. I still use hard drives a lot for bulk storage, but hate running programs from them, because it takes so much longer to load. HDDs are fine for music and videos, Portable Document Files and most other documents (spreadsheets can be an exception in some cases).

Idd SDD are must have period! The rest is nice to have but that's it. Once you put everything in your PC and it works. It is fine. No modular PSU? Just stuff them behind the motherboard. Not enough fun headers? Put a controller behind your motherboard. I never ever used my bios counter screen thingy. If it doesn't boot I just remove all ram except one and check if all cables are connected try again. If it works put back ram back one at a time and we are of to the races. I never encountered a CPU problem during BIOS boot. Once I had a DOA motherboard which I send back and got a new one.

Last build used nVME for boot and most programs installed, SATA for game installs and some data, HDD for media storage The nVME boot allowed me to consider shutting the thing down overnight, or at the very least not dread windows updates forced restarts

The SSD is a must for any pc, every pc should have one. I'd also recommend the cheapest models, there's no need to buy a "high-end" ssd.

That and several vids on the subject stated that at least one of the top 8 pin connectors has to be plugged in also. Now I'm confused again.

@@ChrisMartinScruffy I said it in an earlier comment but I've done that today. Aorus Pro X570, it's terrifying but you just need an usb drive formated on FAT32 and to rename the bios file under the right name (ex: gigabyte.bin for Aorus/Gigabyte, MSI.rom for MSI, creative.rom for AsRock, ASUS has its own auto renamer program for that). Push the button 5 seconds, let the MB do the work, watch the led tingling and wait for ~5 min. It's the same with other brands, just read the manual to be sure and don't hesitate to watch a video here or on another channel. It's not "hard" but I understand that even with experience, even a lot, flashing is always a tough moment. Godspeed mate!

why this has not been made is a stdard header by is beyond my it need to just one plug

The 1 button idea for all of this like a header pin to connect a this, is the 1 thing that when they solve all that, changes the game for pc motherboards. Simple thing, and maybe then can be a software controlled solution that when urged into the case can detect where amd how many different buttons / usb inputs there are.

My old 990fx sabertooth Gen 1 had one of these bricks. My new tough x570 pro wifi did not... I was so sad

This

I had a case in which I basically lost two GPUs (The second one I bought an after market cooler) because the airflow in the case I was using sucked. This was back in AGP days and PSUs at the top of the case BTW, so I had a GPU in which the plastic on top of the heat sink almost melted off, and all that heat broke the fan in half! The second card was an adventure because Nvidia had this PCIe to AGP chip on the board that you needed to be careful with the aftermarket fans.

The case I’m using now is designed so the MB is rotated 90 deg so all the connectors come out the top. It has a grill to cover them and feed you candles out the back. All the fans are in the bottom and the top. What this does is allow the air to flow in the bottom move straight up past the Cade’s and out the top. No wired air flows or forcing the air to move around the flat side of a card. It works great. It’s useless for water cooling though.

I have a be quiet! case. It's airflow is.... Ok I have mine water cooled (cpu and gpu) and it has a single slim triple rad at the top. The case then funnels those 3x120mm exhausts to an opening about 120x100. That exhaust hole as almost burnt me a few times. It gets real hot. Not a huge issue as I have a reverse cycle aircon mounted on the wall directly above the pc.

It depends on your use case i guess, rig is in its own room, and 9/10 im wearing headphones and never hear them anyways

I would even take this a step further and say Motherboard fan tuning. Or something similar.

Yes, the more the fans run, the more dirt they suck into the case and it actually can get counterproductive where temperatures go up because there is fuzz blocking air filters, the cooling fins and clogging up the fan blades making them inefficient at moving air. IFF passive cooling is possible at reasonable temperatures, that is a more optimal solution. With fans, it's better to have larger, lower speed fans for noise reduction while maintaining good airflow (which translates to good heat dissipation).

And any PC owner, who has some common sense, would actually open their PC once or twice a year, and check and clean any fans inside the PC. And remove any dust buildup, PC system units, needs maintenance cleaning, to be done to keep things running efficiently. And if you aren’t doing so you should be.

If you can accommodate a large fan in your PC case,instead of several small fans, then do so and you can run larger fans full speed. And some fan noise, isn’t usually enough to cause most people any annoyance, or break their concentration, just some people are more sensitive, to fan noise, than others are.

My “computer” is going to be obsolete by the time I get a CPU and GPU.

Dave: "Goddamn it, HAL!!"

Proud parenting moment: Had the case open for cpu and cooler upgrade. As I'm about to pull the cpu, my son, in fantastic Hal voice, says, "Will I dream?" Bravo little man, bravo.

Rule of thumb, never safe money on your PSU or your case. Both can/will be used through several builds. And a big case is indeed something i dont want to miss, as it allows for easier access and better airflow. In addition to futereproof you for new eqipment. Still use a HAF X since 10 years as i have trouble finding another big tower with at least the same amount of airflow. Side panel fans need to come back...i am serious.
