Only 2 channels. red is right channel white is left channel Red Fr is front right and white Fl is front left for connecting the output speakers. If you want to control bass seperately then you can on the LG one with the remote or the buttons on the sub woofer The LG one also has a 3.5mm input but it's on the front, the RCA ones are on the back.

So i have 2 ways for LG Xboom to connect to PC either the RC Cable you linked or get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and connect one end to front aux and other to PC 3.5mm green port ?

NitroNeo Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 https://www.amazon.in/AmazonBasics-3-5mm-2-Male-Adapter-cable/dp/B01D5H8JW0 The speaker set seems to have 3.5mm input but that's on the front, the back inputs are RCA, for which you can use the above mentioned cables, plug the 3.5mm to your motherboard, and plug the red white RCA ends to the speaker. The wire that will go into the pc or monitor is black instead of green. Aren't pc AV cables color specific with functionalityWhere would i plug this into the on mobo or monitor? Both have a green and black 3.5mm portSent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking what you are mentioning black port is for headphones generally positioned in easily accessible way (front/top of cpu). Green one is the line out where you connect the speakers which will be on back of your cpu/ monitor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. AUX basically means this same 3.5mm jack. I purchased 2 "aux extension cables" for ease in switching audio input between PC mobo and Monitor to the speakers, works just as expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Guys, I am building a PC based around 10900K /3080, pcpartpicker.com estimated the total wattage at 619W(at max load) and 151W(at min load) , so I am going with a 750W PSU. Now my home already has a 650VA sinewave home-UPS installed, can I plug the system directly into the home-UPS supply? Will it be able to hold before I cleanly shutdown? Or should I get a separate UPS? (Also has another 850VA inverter installed, but its not sinewave, so I guess it won't work?) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your UPS only need to support the wattage required to shutdown your PC. You won't be running/using max load or anywhere close to 750W. Try with 650VA first. Else, go for 1kVA UPS. 650VA = 650xPF (usually 0.5-0.7). Your UPS will handle roughly 455W max load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change motherboard to B550 if you want; else B450 is just fine. Most of them don't change CPU every 1-3 years, so getting "future compatible board" don't make much sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 5600x is better than 3700x but also need to change motherboard. B450 don't support it yet out of the box. It is worth considering getting 5600x + B550 board as you get solid 15-20% better performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get newly manufactured/boxed unit so you can avoid BIOS update. If you plan to get it assembled, they will take care of it I guess. Else you have to flash BIOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks phantom and gmanu. I bought LG K72B xboom speakers got them hooked up to PC by RC to aux cable at first the amazon basics cable wasn't working on both monitor and PC so i got worried, it seems it has a weird design that at the speaker end the amazon wires don't connect tightly so i had to push in hard and on the mobo end the wire is a bit lose and doesn't hold in place very tightly. I was worried and tried the speakers on phone which worked then after tightening the wires it's working now on mobo but when i connect to monitor the speakers don't show up in playback devices of sound settings, they only show up when connected to mobo. So i am only getting PC audio, currently as i don't have a tv i wanted to connect them to the monitor via it's aux input. So that i can use it for PS4 or xbox when i connect them to monitor hdmi port. Should i get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from amazon to connect from front aux port of the LG subwoofer to monitor 3.5mm aux ? Is it safe connecting both inputs on subwoofer simultaneously ?

Is it safe connecting both inputs on subwoofer simultaneously ? how is the monitor connected to the mobo? the connection from Mobo to monitor should also route sound. Afaik only DisplayPort and HDMI support audio. For instance a console if connected to the monitor via HDMI will route audio over HDMI and the monitor will route the audio thru internal speakers or via the 3.5mm out jack to the speakers if connected. In short if the monitor is not receiving audio from the mobo, it will not send audio to the speakers since there is nothing to send. Secondly speakers connected to monitor 3.5mm jack will not show up in windows as windows is only interacting with the monitor and not speakers.

Ah damn so how will i choose speakers connected to the monitor, since only my benq monitor shows up when 3.5mm wire is connected to monitor green aux port. I have connected my monitor to my gtx970 with hdmi cable i think hdmi 1.4 it's a belkin cable. Then speakers RC to 3.5mm cable was connected to monitor green 3.5mm slot but it didn't work but when connected to green 3.5mm port on mobo it works.

Walker Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) OK I'm pretty sure the 970 outputs audio over HDMI. Check the what is selected under windows output devices. LeftClick on the sound icon in the taskbar and see what the default shows. Click the up arrow and you should see Select Playback Devices. See what other devices are listed there and select the correct one. Edit : Does your monitor have inbuilt speakers? See if audio works on the inbuilt speakers first.

Like i said this ticked one doesn't show up if i connect the 3.5mm cable to the monitor. And yeah the benq rl24 has in built speakers which are working.

Walker Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 1> Disconnect the speakers from the mobo and leave them disconnected. 2> Select Benq as the main output so the green tick is on benq 3> Play an audio file and see if the audio plays from the benq inbuilt speakers. 4> If it plays then connect the LG speakers to the monitor 3.5mm output This is to test a) sound is reaching the monitor via existing connection b) if the monitor 3.5mm output is working.
