Question HDMI Audio from a graphics card

Depends on the sound bar. This one has 5 speakers in the bar. I went into sound control panel in Win10 and used a 5.1 channel test sequence. The sound bar fired one speaker at a time, as it should. But Win10 doesn't have an option to define the optical output as 5.1 channel, which would cause...

Question HDMI Audio from a graphics card

First, how normal is it to use HDMI from a graphics card for audio these days? Second topic, Can I just add an hdmi cable from the video card to the sound bar? Will win10 think it is a second monitor? Will there be a large latency issue between audio and video if one is HDMI and the other...

Question Is a 240 rad enough?

So... I might end up with an ATX board. Lian Li documentation says I won't be able to use a rad in the top of the O11-mini with an ATX board. If I locate a 360 on the bottom of the case while using a distro-plate, I should catch any loss of fluid before the pump becomes exposed and is damaged...

Question z790m v z790

I'm having trouble finding the difference in the chipset. Some boards have Z790 and some say Z790m. There is also a D4 and non-D4. Can you point me to a chart or something that is descriptive of the differences? I've compared them on newegg but it isn't clear to me what the naming conventions...

Question micro atx z790

I don't sell stuff anymore, it never works out for me. Plus, I'm an EVGA fan. I waited a year for stock on this card. Like the EVGA 970 I had, I will probably keep it until it is obsolete.

Question micro atx z790

I would think the extra fans would increase the overall volume of air that passes through the case as well as be redundant for failures. The O11-Mini plan is a 360 rad 3x 120mm fan in the top exhaust, 1x 120 mil intake at the back, and 3x 120mm intake at the bottom.

Question micro atx z790

I was looking at the NZXT H5 Flow as well, which seems like it would fit with dual rads intake front and exhaust top and also take regular ATX motherboard. The Mesh2 in it's current layout temps: CPU GPU Idle Standard Fan Curve 41 48 Idle Fans Running Full 38 42 Port Royal Stand Fan 54...

Question micro atx z790

The Mesh2 I have is intake front and bottom w 6x 140mm fans. The top and rear is exhaust w 4x 140mm fans. I managed to wedge them all in. The only reason rear is exhaust is for the cpu cooler. I should have oriented it toward the top of the case. I've been considering turning two of the top fan...

Question micro atx z790

I did some measuring, the Mesh2 Compact might just fit. I will have to make a mockup and see. The Node 804 would work probably. A North or a Focus 2 might work as well. I don't think the Terra is an option due to dust. Can you think of any other cases I could look at or phrases I could search...

Question micro atx z790

Custom soft tube loop is the plan since it is my first water build too. The space available is the biggest driver right now. I looked at the node 304, but it exhausts from the rear and that part of the case will be against a wall or in the triangular space behind it which will trap the heat...

Question micro atx z790

The space the computer will go is triangular under a sloped roof/ceiling. I currently have an air cooled Fractal Meshify 2 lying on it's side in the spot, but it can't shed the heat under-load despite 9 140 mm fans in a positive pressure setup. The O11D-Mini just barely fits. I couldn't find...

Question micro atx z790

What are your recommendations for a z790 micro atx motherboard? Or would you recommend going with a z690? I'm parting out a new system. Right now I think it is going into a O11D-Mini with a water cooling loop for the CPU and GPU. The case is for a limited space area under a sloped ceiling. I...

Question Is a 240 rad enough?

What do you think of the Ek-Mana G2 plate? It says it has a DDC pump that can be replaced for a D5. It should look like a custom fit in the o11-mini. So, general layout idea for the O11D-Mini, mATX 5 slot configuration with a vertical GPU mount. Ek-Mana G2 w D5 pump, to GPU plate, then 120 rad...
