That seems fine mate ! Long a it was longer then before , which again wasn't dangerous, just a little higher then normal .

Should notice GPU will stay cooler as more fresh air coming at it, also with positive air pressure , you'll feel air leaving all the vented gaps !

I can feel the air at the gaps!!

Bloody cables :), I will have a look at that next time I have tinker!!

Now been running for 850 secs and at 76c we was at 83c after 600 secs yesterday so a decent improvement and it idles below 35c.

I guess its just a case of using it now and checking temps and logging any issues and reporting back? Give it a week and we can try a baby oc?

quick one, the coloured leds on my mother board and GPU aren't in sink and are always different colours, how do I sort that?
 
@orbitalwalsh I can change the leds on the gpu but not on the mother board?

When I select the MB in LED Fusion I have three areas that I can control, none for the change clear plastic led strip on the side?

Any ideas?
 
@orbitalwalsh @Plec

I couldn't have done it without you lads, I owe you both a beer!!

This was my very first attempt at building a pc and loved every minute of it, I was actually looking forward to getting home from work and stripping it back and having a sort out:)

I will have a look at kinguin and I will try the above to sync my leds.:)

I think in fusion you have 3 options tab, basic , advanced and something else. Using the basic option and hitting Colour cycle should make all the Mobo sync together

Colour cycle didn't work? I did have a lead that I didn't know what it was for, at a guess I would say one end goes on the rgb header on the MB and the other plugs into some led strip, maybe that has something to do with it? I will see if I can find a picture of the lead and show you what I mean.
 
@orbitalwalsh @Plec

Evening Gentlemen,

I will have a look at the project logs forum, thanks for that.

I might download that Aorus app just to see if that snks the lights.

Also, my idle temp is back up to 40c, all I'm doing is search the net and writing this post?

I Running Realbench again now, I will let you know.

I don't know if this means anything but while running realbench the keybpard and mouse seem to be working when they like? Would realbeanch effect this operation? I know it shouldn't do and I don't think batteries?
 
Yesterday 830 seconds and 76c
Today 830 seconds and 72c

So its actually running 4c colder today using Realbench at the same 830 second limit, its just running 7c higher today when idle, is this all ok?
 
orbitalwalsh said:
Yeah, don't worry, your house temps effect temperatures just as much etc . Seems under load it's fine, and don't forget, Real Bench pushes everything to the limits using real world applications.
Synthetic benches push it even harder but nothing actually a stresses it that much for gamers .

And when running stress tests, your GPU/CPU is at max so mouse and keyboard lag , due to cpu trying to process that and other tasks whilst being maxed out

There's a feature in BIOS, normally turn it off when overclocking but since you haven't yet, try enable and disabling it to see how idle and stress temps look :)

Again, if your power settings in windows options is to max performance, CPU will run a bit hotter for basic tasks and draw a little more power :)

Thank you mate.

Any decent VR games you can recommemd, i think cockpit game work best in VR, would love an school fighter pilot style game!!

Elite dangerous sounds good, might check that out.

Just checking in - all looks good and reminds me why i have windowless cases - no apps to manage or extra cables.

I treat my components like a self-harming prisoner in isolation: Padded case, no access to light (no window), and all lights disabled. I'm a boring sod...

All looks good - and i do enjoy looking at builds where users have made the internals look very neat as they're on display. You may want to browse the Project Logs Forum - @leeince - there are some stunning, innovative builds on there. There's even a few from a certain @orbitalwalsh - who needs to update his Parvum build!!!

Thats until you purchase that case you linked to earlier, that was a lovely looking case!! Out of couriosity, how much was that?

And would all my gear fit in it:)

Dont worry lads im not swappung cases just yet but the size of my current case was the only thing the misses mentioned!! What does she know about heat and air circulaton :D

its small , very small but has flaws - one being the price £160+ - air flow is great due to 2 fans at the bottom pushing at to the top .
The glass is to dark! System with lighting on the block , strips and board- still very very dark

custom water is pretty much a no go - had to use £20 fans in this one to make sure fans were at 80% but quiet

UMX5 addresses some issues but issues but looks really bad!

UMX still may fave case but lacks VR ease

You don't muck about do you mate @orbitalwalsh :)

Haha, I started to do a few client builds and then just getting everything sorted and fatherhood kicks in and side business dreams go on hold ! Hahaha
Tried out VR yet ?

Yes mate, Ive only played robo recall, minecraft and Google earth and VR is very impressive.

I did have a PSVR but it was set up on the main tv and that meant it didn't get used very often.

We booked a holiday in Mexico today and I went on Google Earth VR and was able to stand next to pool and go up and down the beach, even the misses was impressed:)

I downloaded the Aorus engine but there's no sync option for LED from I could see?

My mouse and Keyboard seem quite laggy even when I have nothing running? When I was typing the post above I was trying to delete some text but it just wasn't working, then all of a sudden it would kick in a delete loads? Any idea what could be causing this?

@leeince in the graphics engine, click on the motherboard icon, the pick a colour and there will be another tab to click which reads, 'sync to all components' or something like that. If you've got no option to click on the mobo then uninstall and reinstall, it did it to me, like orbital says...not the best piece of software but it does definitely enable LED syncing... https://imgur.com/mpg9L60

Hi Mate,

I dont have a motherboard icon? Only the graphics card icon labled VGA?

Also the a tab in the quarter wheel in the bottom right hand corner that ha s a fan icon, mine is set to "passive fan" or I can set it to "Active fan" is this for the fans in the GPU? If so, should I set it to Active?
