So i'm going to buy a cpu fan for my I 5 6400 which is the http://www.cryorig.com/c7.php and along with that the case fans which will be https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/Fans/ml-config/p/CO-9050074-WW
good buy or nah?
I don't really know much about fans
lmao
cuz i usually just do water cooling and plop some case fans on it
but that isn't the case rn
steep gust
Look at noise (which is at max speed) and airflow
But generally noise since case fans almost always run at like 50%
and airflow doesn't change much past a point
@dim knoll Speed means very little anymore
The general user runs power saving that reduces CPU speed anyway, and Moore's Law is starting to end and CPU speeds haven't got much faster
Efficiency > Speed any day for me
Generally any flagship phone will have about an equal CPU
Although once phones start to move to a 7nm node that will be interesting for efficiency

Thermal grizzly does decent thermal compounds as well

Just don't use Conductonaut or another liquid metal as a thermal compound since it will destroy aluminum quickly
And it will damage nickel / copper heatsinks over time

If you aren't pushing overclocks I'd say Artic Silver 5 is fine
prime jasper
Even if overclocking I wouldn't say it's bad
I've overclocked my 1060 several times on it
and it still runs really good
and temps stay cool
nevermind I'm stupid
LOL
I just facepalmed so hard
steep gust
prime jasper
What I meant to say was that my 8700K has liquid cooling and I've tested overclocks on it and it does fine
steep gust
Did you at least delid
steep gust
You realize overclocking voids your warranty?
prime jasper
Welp
steep gust
but
prime jasper
Wait no it doesn't for the K series?
steep gust
Yes it does unless you buy the overclocking warranty
No. While we will, under the Plan, replace an eligible processor that fails while running outside of Intel’s specifications, we will not provide any assistance with configuration, data recovery, failure of associated parts, or any other activities or issues associated with the processor or system resulting from overclocking or otherwise running outside of Intel’s published specifications.
Yeah that means if the overclocking somehow corrupts the processor
or makes it fail
steep gust
But they replace overclocked CPUs that died anyways
Since its hard to tell
prime jasper
Not in general
steep gust
Unless you pump like 1.7v into your CPU and fry it outright you should be fine
steep gust
but if you have VRMs that can handle that kind of CPU voltage, I'd hope you know what you are doing
I'm thought about replacing the paste on my 1080 but GPU overclocking is annoying
that and I don't have temperature problems
I hit voltage / power limits
prime jasper
Ah
I don't have any temperature problems. My temps are actually really good
My CPU idles around 28 celsius, and the max it's hit while under load is 55 celsius.
steep gust
I plan to buy a 9th gen CPU with a hopeful solder TIM
then I should be fine
prime jasper
I just bought the 8700k in July so I'm not upgrading for a while lmao
Although, I am upgrading my GPU. I just bought a 1080 Ti :^)
I'm super excited about

Well I'm hoping around Cyber Monday to get either a 2K IPS or a 4K IPS monitor
Which ever is in the price range at the time
steep gust
1440p 144hz is my dream
Hopefully RTX falls
I might buy in once the prices become actually reasonable
prime jasper
It kinda already is failing tbh
The reviews and benchmarks were worse than expected
the 1080 Ti is only about 4% slower than the 2080 and much cheaper
steep gust
benchmarks are fine
Its the price
we aren't getting Maxwell -> Pascal level gains every generation without competition from AMD
prime jasper
Well I mean Nvidia claimed that it was faster than the 10 series alone. The 2080 was supposed to be "50% faster than the 1080 Ti"
Yet it's only 4% faster XD
steep gust
It is
depending on the benchmark
They were claiming ray tracing performance for those numbers
prime jasper
Well yeah, it did better in 4K and overall rendering for sure, but that in my eyes would just make it a rendering card
tardy osprey
@prime jasper "50% faster". But did they say that in normal rasterization. They could mean DLSS
Shady phrases
steep gust
It was literally in ray tracing applications
steep gust
Give me about $60 and I will

need a little help
so i have a GTX 960M which runs bf1 on 50-60 FPS and i was playing with this fps till all of a sudden it dropped to below 20 on all the maps

last night i updated my graphic card and it worked out
buuut now its back to 20 fps
low / medium / high / ultra all the same fps
@everyone ?
if i put the charger it used to work out but now with it or without it same fps

i think so cuz all the games are working fine except bf1
past raft
Whats yo processor
tulip bluff
GTX 960M

cause thats how i can make the game look good with 60 fps
it just suddenly dropped to 20
even on low
no solution ?

nope it wasnt the problem
any other solutions ?
past raft
@tulip bluff effects quality on high
tulip bluff
i told you that even if everything on low it is the same
hushed geyser
ok heres my ALLinONE solution for you:
Buy a desktop if you are a real gamer
But yeah back to the problem. I have a desktop and on my old machine. it happened to me 3 times that after an update I loose 10-20 fps
tulip bluff
i didnt buy a desktop cuz iam taking my laptop everywhere
hushed geyser
so i had 70-100 and 3 updates later i was down to 30-50 without changing ANYTHING
and my specs were way over the minimum
tulip bluff
guys its not about the laptop
past raft
an Alienware laptop
tulip bluff
cuz i was freaking playing in 60 fps yesterday
hushed geyser
alienware do overheat ?! dont they?
i know the feel medyan
and tbh i tried to fix it. but there was no fix
tulip bluff
how !
hushed geyser
even tweaked the settings with a custom config
tulip bluff
youre telling me i bought bf1 for nothing ?
hushed geyser
i went trought all the tips to make to more performant but yeah I didnt got it back to the old state
my solution was to buy a 2300 desktop which i build custom for me. now all can kiss my bootyhole 😄
and dare god I get even a single lag on this machine now
tulip bluff
yesterday i had the same problem so i opened my nvidia geforce app and i updated it and it worked out
past raft
Try
tulip bluff
what you mean revert my gpu ?
hushed geyser
noooooooo
its a laptop how should he achieve that 😄
i meant reinstall an older GPU driver and check "clean" install
tulip bluff
okay
hushed geyser
go download folder
grab one of the older ones
and make it fresh install
did you installed ANYTHING
tulip bluff
!?
hushed geyser
which could have changed something in your energy profile?
check your energy profile if its set to max on ANY of the advanced settings
tulip bluff
okay hold on
hushed geyser
check your profile and the advanced settings
set them to 100%
i use lower profile because i got a beast machine

why your windows is in gibberish?

are you sure i should put them on 100% isnt it dangerous and it will overheat my pc ?

cooling policy on max
or perfomant
or high
or active
check also if "wireles adapter" is on maximum
then scroll down

go for max performance there
if you see ANYWHERE "power saving or smth" change it to maximum

is this multi media setting ?

Which fans do you recommend for the radiator? (replacing the ones that come with the Corsair H115i pro)
dim knoll
RGB ones 
quaint topaz
would be useless for my case
quaint topaz
ok what about exhaust
steep gust
Do you have exhaust fans already?
steep gust
Just unplug the 3pin to molex connector and use your motherboard fan headers
They aren't the quietness or best airflow, but they work
Generally you want quietness over airflow for case fans since more air does very little past a point 🤷
quaint topaz
I don't care about quietness.
i mean, shouldn't get as loud as my GPU when I bump my fan speed to 100 (3 fan shroud)
steep gust
GPU fans only hit like 60% with the default fan curves
I would just plug the fans into your motherboard and not your PSU
and you should be fine
quaint topaz

Shame that black and red was the cheapest components at the time. But I'll be replacing the motherboard, ram, and heatsink hopefully in the next few months
My goal would be
Asus Maximus X
Trident Z RGB
Meshify C
and maybe a H115i Pro
hushed geyser
@quaint topaz doesnt the h115i come with ML fans?
i decided to keep mine. I wanted to change them to LL fans (the full RGB ones) from corsair. but the ML are great
a shame there is no full RGB on ML yet
hushed geyser
sweet
i shot me another 3x ML fans for 20 bucks total
and mounted 6 fans to my h150i
steep gust
so you have hardcore negative air pressure?
hushed geyser
yes
steep gust
hushed geyser
i pull cold air with another fan from bottom
i will try the front swap soon.
but my cpu gets beasty hot when its oc'd
thats why i dont pull front in
steep gust
You want to try a balanced fan layout leaning towards positive air pressure
and your GPU gets even hotter than your CPU
It needs air and not just recycling the air due to vertical mounts, oh and VRMs need to stay cool
hushed geyser
7820x can get BBQ hot
hushed geyser
i got a 140 fan in bottom pulling fesh air in . and my PSU sucks a bit of the GPU away and pushes it out
gpu heat is separated from motherboard which is quite a + in my eyes
quaint topaz
Only 1 intake?
I would use the Radiator fans for intake, plus the bottom one
rest for exhaust
steep gust
^
don't worry about the fact your CPU gets hot and it'll blow air over your GPU
It changes very little and you just need airflow over your GPU to keep it from recycling the same air
quaint topaz
You have very little cold air coming in, which is bad for the GPU since it's air cooled
steep gust
You want airflow over parts not just getting hot air away from them
wet notch
^
quaint topaz
4 intake 4 exhaust will be balanced
steep gust
Maybe have a few intakes be 140mm for postive air pressure while not overpowering the exhaust fans
steep gust
You are telling me a 4c 8t CPU still performs well in games designed around 4c CPUs

You have to remove the HDD cage to install a 360 rad
anyone with eyes could tell you that

the HHD cage on the bottom slides though

fans would fit but not rad n fans

also because he is scared of building a PC and the other first time worries

just bought the cheapest everything as long as it performed
steep gust
so having parts that I know work is good

It performs generally 30% or so better than a 1080ti IIRC at like +70% the cost
rose eagle
Yea I see something showing 59 vs 87 for bf1
But I don't trust anything online yet
Seems like $500 would be much better spent on a 1080ti when they drop that low opposed to a 2070
Old trusty tech seems safer than whatever they just released

A 2070 for rtx if it ever becomes mainstream will be crap fps
So they may as well only put rtx in 2080ti
And then release all others without, cheaper

Pascsal -> RTX
Is just living off a hype train, a glorified lighting engine, and a slight performance jump

to be fair, nvidia has had no competition
atleast on the high end, amd has a lot of catching up to do still
this is exactly what happened with Intel. Minor performance bumps for years on the same 4c 4t layout until Ryzen stepped in
storm osprey
and yet, no one buys amd

Ryzen begs to differ but okay
competition is healthy, and it brings out the best products from both companies. Without it we get the same recycled BS year after year

for 220 pounds i dont think hes gonna get a 1440p, 144hz, freesync monitor
prime jasper
i only want 1080p
might have to go for something flat though, theres just nothing decent enough thats curved
storm osprey
imo curved at 24" is kind of a waste
torn scroll
steep root
Curved in itself is a waste
storm osprey
the pcpartpicker list shows whats available for 1080p, 144hz, 24"+, freesync monitors
theres really not much options so i would just click the brands youd trust in your price range and see how they stack
prime jasper
ok
storm osprey
the only thing pcpartpicker lacks is reviews, thats why i just click the links and go to those reviews for amazon or newegg
prime jasper
ok ive found a really good deal on a samsung c27fg73, do i go for 24 inch for £164 or 27 inch for £202? at 1080p 24 will be clearer but the curve will be less effective
prime jasper
it has both
im rrunning a 27 1080p rn and it doesnt look bad, but ive never used a 24 inch so i dont know
storm osprey
ive had 1080p in 24 and 27 inches
theres a difference
i currently have a 27" 1440p and 27" 1080p monitors as well
the difference is pretty drastic
the PPI for 24" 1080p isnt that much different compared to 27" 1440p
prime jasper
hmm ok
storm osprey
my preference, 24" is for 1080p, 27" is 1440p

gtx2080 cost 1150$ in my country lol

i dont need, i have gtx 1080

i think im gonna go with the 27 inch over the 23.5 inch cheers lads

27" 1080p has some issues
storm osprey
too pixelated for my taste
hushed geyser
suggest me a good 7.1 surround analog headset
hushed geyser
i use a sepeerated mic. zoom h2n
so you basically say. get audiophile 7.1 instead of 7.1 gaming ones?
i didnt got your point excatly
storm osprey
7.1 is a sham
theres no headphones (ok there might be 5) that have 7 speakers in them
storm osprey
7.1 is "virtual" surround sound
which means nothing
any audiophile headphones will destroy just about anything "gaming" related
imo best bang for buck headphones are going to be the audio technica ad700x headphones
i use them, and they are phenomenal
ive tried A LOT of other headphones/headsets
hyper clouds, logitechs, turtle beach, sennheiser (really good but fairly expensive)
i play fps competitively as well (was on a grand master team in OW)

Personally I don't feel the need for a separate mic
I'm not recording my voice so who cares so long as peeps can still hear me
storm osprey
700x is 100 max. Get a fifine 669 fr 30 bucks...

Has anyone here ever reinstalled windows 10 through it's own settings app?
Is it worth trying or should I just do it like I've always done it with the media creation tool?
crude storm
if you mean, you want to reset it to factory, its always better to start fresh
hushed geyser
start fresh and copy your settings data and pictures n stuff

amazon takes care of customs payment.
they charge you upon checkout for import fees

where the fuck did you order it from?! wasnt it available locally?!
storm osprey
2080 and 1080ti trade performance within 1% of eachother
dont get a 2080
drivers could improve the gap, but as of now the price tag isnt worth it at all

But it's totally worth the price hike for the promise of raytracing

Don't wanna brag by my 1050ti only crashes once every 10 minutes
storm osprey
its a new world record
rose eagle
2070 has less cudas than a 2080 non ti so i guess we wont be expecting it to beat it
even the 1070ti has more
if 2070 perfs worse than 1070ti that'll be a lolz of the year
lofty light
The only new card that you can argue for buying is the 2080ti but you're looking at older titan prices
storm osprey
the 2080ti does offer some serious performance, but at a very serious price
wet notch
i have a 970 atm, i wonder if i could physically fit a 2070 or 2080
storm osprey
case?
rose eagle
yea ive got a 970 atm also
it didnt play beta good enough for me at 1440p but nothing is priced right to upgrade to
1070 non ti lowest price since May 2017

@storm osprey Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 Midi Tower
i think it should fit but im not sure tbh
storm osprey
use pcpartpicker

Bill Gates was in a car accident when he was 12 and all technology is delayed 30 yrs

and will also only suggest parts that are compatible to eachother, including dimensions
rose eagle
Earth 2.0 is doomed
storm osprey
but for some reason your case isnt in pcpartpicker (which is rare that they dont have something)
wet notch
wow really
what a crappy site!
im disappointed
but i guess i can call the support for it
rose eagle
ehhhhhh
still overpriced but fek
2070 may be worse than a 1070ti lol
at $500, fk that
storm osprey
affected prices since people just went up
storm osprey
1070ti shouldnt, but it does, and its a good deal
steep gust
cryptocurrency mining price spikes are GONE
Like hardcore gone, most GPUs are below MRSP
1070ti isn't a good deal, pay the slight more and get a 1080
and the 2070 will beat the 1070ti
Much faster memory
Yes it has 100 less CUDA cores, but it has a higher clock speed
That and driver optimization is huge
CUDA cores =/= performance
storm osprey
yes, i recommend you pay the 30$ more and get a 1080
steep gust
Oh and PCPP isn't perfect for dimensions 
steep gust
Not when the 1070 is at MSRP
storm osprey
actually
the cheapest are 50 dollar increments away from eachother now
so really, they have their place atm
330 for a 1070 is a good deal
steep gust
cheapest =/= best idea
storm osprey
no, price to performance is the best idea
steep gust
and cooler
storm osprey
and what you NEED vs want
steep gust
a lot of cheaper GPUs have shit heatsinks and no VRM contact
storm osprey
you dont get a 1080 for 1080p gaming, thats just a waste
steep gust
As I have a 1080 for 1080p gaming
storm osprey
ok, thats fine
steep gust
even at 1080p 144hz you are greatly CPU limited
steep gust
The armor lineup is kinda shit
steep gust
I think so
storm osprey
the cheapest i have are evga, which i recommend
steep gust
I don't recommend brand loyalty for hardware 🤷
storm osprey
but, the cheapest recommened 1070ti is pretty close to 1080 now, so id rec 1070 or 1080
no, id always recommend doing research and comparing models at the time of purchase
but in scenarios where im not going to do that, i will say that i would initially trust EVGA over other GPUS
storm osprey
true
even if i have personal problems with certain things, i give benefit of the doubt
like ive had 2 bad MSI mb's
but i seem to be the very minority
keen forge
I have an MSI and it's pretty good, doesn't like overclocking but that's more due to my cooling setup (lets call it... minimalistic)
storm osprey
its commonly on sale for 20 bucks
at least when i used to look
i know that was the price i paid for mine
hushed geyser
why the fuck it is so hard to find gaming headset with 10 sounds drivers? like razor tiamat 7.1...
im punishing google but it wont give me results
i just want to have an overview
i know there are more
turbid verge
you mean true surround?
storm osprey
It's just not practical poly, look for good open back headphones
steep gust
@hushed geyser Don't buy a 7.1 headset
hushed geyser
😮
hmmm at least the target is to get a headset with the best possible ability to locate people exactly
so i thought a "real" signal mean 3-5 drivers per ear would create a more realistic immersion then with only one driver and a digital simulation
north crow
nah, you'll be able to locate people exactly with regular stereo headphones as well
steep gust
Locating people comes down more to the sound engine instead of the headphones used
BFV had a shit sound engine and locating people was fucking hard
hushed geyser
@north crow hmmmm. actually i ownvery good dj stereo headphones sennheiser hd25 C II and some plantronics backbeat PRO+ wireless
you mean i need headphones with a proper software for it simulating it `
?!
north crow
he means some games don't do a very good job at reproducing sound
in which case it can be hard to locate where sounds are coming from
even on best headphones
hushed geyser
yeah that in addition
so i cant turn a stereo headset into a proper gaming headset with a software tool
north crow
I mean, stereo headsets are proper gaming headsets
5.1/7.1 headsets are mostly a gimmick
it's not going to give you a big edge (if any) over proper stereo headphones in terms of locating sounds
also, the two headphones you mentioned are both closed back, which generally have a smaller soundstage than open backs
so you might wanna give some open back headphones a try
hushed geyser
but look. atm i use stereo and cant tell if a close shooting is front left or back right because of the way where iam looking at
north crow
that's not because they're stereo, there's something else at play there
hushed geyser
ill look into this open back thing. thank you for the tip
north crow
that being said, there are lots of closed back headphones with decent soundstage as well, so I'd look into some headphones and google around for reviews
and see what people say about them
crude storm
200 euro more on a 8700k then in june 2018 ...
first hdd, then ram, then gpus, now intel cpus, whats coming next?
storm osprey
@hushed geyser not ANY open back headphone is good for gaming, stuff like the very popular sennheiser hd 6 family has a very intimate soundstage that doesnt go great with gaming. audio gets a bit complicated and it also depends on your sound source, ie, soundcard, amp/dac, and their software. to really help we would need a budget and if you are willing to get headphones with a stand alone mic or a headset.
crude storm
@hushed geyser my current setup at home is Fostex HP-A4 and Beyerdynamic DT 880 / AKG K712 Pro and at work i got a asus xonar essence stx 2 with a ATH M50x / Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro
But as @storm osprey said, we would need a budget to give you the best combination in OUR opinion 😄
hushed geyser
you are so kind to me @storm osprey @crude storm @north crow
