and you need 1 header per fan generally

oh

so after searching, it seems I need to get fan controller

My family berated me for paying $112 for one. You can definitely get good ones under that price point but hey, it’s your money

If you want to control the fan speed, otherwise you can just use simple passive adapters

There are also PWM splitters to allow you to control multiple fans (say the top three fans) with one motherboard fan header.

My fans are old enough where its just a molex power and a 3 speed selector switch on the fan

Do I have to worry about how much watt the two fan headers on the board can give?

The case I want comes with two 140mm fans. Each on the front and back.

I want to put 2x 120mm on front
3x 120mm on top
1x 140mm on back

The 1x 140mm and 3x 120mm on top will be using one fan header

The front 2x 120mm will use the last fan header.

Should I figure out if the mobo's two fan headers can power them?

If you're running more than two fans off a single header, you may look into a powered splitter rather than passive.

Okay that makes sense

Don't plug that into HP Laserjet Printers and try to boot it

Apparently it will lock up during boot if you do

How many computers do you have running right now? Also, you using them in any kind of cluster?

For now just 1 they all work except for the 2 newer laptops. Weirdly the 2 windows 98 ones work fine

And no I'm not using them in a cluster. One day I hope to have a lan going for gaming

Is this an internal hard drive that you're using with the Xbox or an external using over someone like USB? Well I personally have never had an Xbox, I know a friend who replaced the internal drive and his Xbox had a proprietary file system and partitioning that was very difficult to replicate without causing endless problems.

I haven't, do you know how that is different from antivirus or malwarebytes?

not sure tbh

the guy who recommended it to me uses both malwarebytes and DWS, so there must be some difference

Been a while since I used XBox but im pretty sure it supports external storage

I would try letting XBOX format it

then taking the drive over to linux and use something like gparted to shrink the storage partition xbox created

and then creating a partition for windows storage after

I know thats why I tried to parition it

That may work as long as the Xbox logically fills its partition and sequential order rather than randomly. Also, if you do shrink, shrink from the end not the beginning. considering the Xbox expects it to be the only thing on the drive, I imagine it will start at the beginning of the drive when looking for a partition.

Yes forgot to mention shrink from the end. Also I would try to plugging the HD into the Xbox after srhinking to make sure it recognizes the new partition size

If it reads the new partition size correctly you're better off than it thinking the partition is 2TB when it's actually only 1.3TB

If it reads 2TB I wouldn't even continue

Actually doing some reading

with XBox One it looks like that method wont work as the filesystem is proprietary to prevent piracy

But there's supposedly a converter that may make what you want to do possible

I let xbox format it but you cant partition it until you reformat it back to windows

Why do they have to make everything so difficult why cant I just format a single partition like you can on PC

Question

Can you update bios without a cpu

I upgraded my cpu but forgot to update bios RIP

Can anyone recommend a good X570 Mainboard and cooler for the ryzen 9 5900x

If you have your old CPU still that's the best surfire way. However some of your higher end boards have a BIOS flash button that will work without a CPU when you plug a properly formatted flash drive into a special USB port on the back.
