(Part 2) Top products from r/Corsair

You'll have to double check how your board is set up, but it will most likely be fine without the angle. I just looked in my case, and I have about 2 inches from where it plugs in, to the top of the graphics card. And the plug sits about 3/4 of an inch off the top of the board. So that should work fine.

Edit: I'm assuming you live in the US, so I'm going to provide American links.

Thanks for the reply! I'm using these which are pretty reputable brand.

You'd basically just be looking for air coolers that support 140mm fans. Something like this would be compatible:

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U14S-Premium-Cooler-NF-A15/dp/B00C9FLSLY

This is a better idea than trying to top mount it with offset bracket. Think of it this way: A normal air powered heat sink takes in case air and uses it to wick away CPU heat (moving the heat into the case,) which hopefully gets exhausted by fans. So a front mounted radiator would take in fresh air from outside the case and use it to wick away CPU heat (also moving heat into the case) which is also exhausted by case fans.

If you already have a filter in the front of the case, you're saving yourself the tedious task of cleaning your radiator all the time too.

If you still want to consider fan offsets, https://www.amazon.com/Radiator-Mounting-Bracket-Set-6-32/dp/B008BWQOBI/ that might work. Those little things look like they'll move the whole assembly down and away by a couple CM. It breaks the "seal" on the top though, allowing some hot air to recycle back in if the exhaust pressure is too low. I'd try to follow /u/xDougiie's advice.

> Will it work

As long as the adapter supports the mp500's 2280 M key format, such as this one

> get the right speeds?

As long as the adapter supports pcie 3.0 4x, such as the one above

> And will it be able to boot off it?

Depends on the motherboard. After looking around for a shirt while, I found this thread that claimed that you can indeed use m.2 pcie SSDs in the slot, but it will disable the first sata port (so just connect sata drives to the third port).

Unfortunately, I couldn't find if the motherboard let's you boot off it, but if it can't, a bios update could help. Also, using a pcie to m.2 adapter won't affect whether you can boot from it.

It looks like they got some more in stock!

Yes I'm setting it within Windows. I ordered THIS adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If this doesn't work I don't even know what I'll do..

I would go for one of these instead:

https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Drive-Adapter-Converter-External/dp/B00BIE996S/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RC1TW0ZABBSN9K1A1WG5

Granted it only does 2.5A, this should support ~46 LEDs at all white max brightness. IIRC the LNP is limited to 4.5A, which is a limit of the SATA plug. There might be other options too.

Did some investigating. I'm starting to think it's a power issue. I've been using a surge protector with a battery backup (like this one) so that if my power goes out, my PC doesn't immediately shut off. It's been having issues recently whenever I had multiple things plugged in, so today I bought a new one that I can plug everything into without issues.

When I turned my PC on after replacing the surge protector, my keyboard's RGB colors turned on (for weeks it's just been the default red with white WASD), but I couldn't type my password in. Unplugging both keyboard cords and plugging them back in brought back the default red color scheme, but I could type again.

So, I have two hypotheses:

1. These surge protectors can't supply enough power to my computer to fully power the keyboard, allowing only basic functionality and not advanced lighting
   
   
2. My power supply doesn't have enough wattage to fully power my computer, and my keyboard's RGB lighting drew the short straw.
   
   Gonna try plugging my computer directly into the wall to see if that resolves it. If not, I'll have to figure out the wattage of my PSU.

This should be it!

Googled "Aluminum headphone stand" and found it: http://www.amazon.com/Just-Mobile-HeadStand-Heaphones-HS-100/dp/B00A3CMAYY

Here's something similar on amazon

Not sure if this will help. I have a z270 and i use this as my cooler.

I have no idea if that's actually possible, but I've seen this before.

> I bind my discord/VOIP program mute mic/headphones

I used a foot pedal for my push to talk. This one I think, on Amazon. However, I've got a set of rudder pedals coming, which take both my feet. You sir have solved my problem.

Now all I need to do is get Ol' Left Pinky trained up!

Flames add more FPS! Also wasn't there a Disney princess version of this too?

EDIT: No, I guess I was thinking of the LCD TV.
