my opinion might be old fashioned but projectors before had horrendous lag and i couldnt even play rockband on it
i cant image picture quality/resolution/refresh rate of a projector can come close to an actual tv unless youre paying a lot of money for it
opaque saddle
i wouldnt want to game on a projector
supple bane
if you want like, 150 inches than a projector is the only way to go. but when you say large but mean like 60 inches. a TV is better
opaque saddle
the cheap one is NOT worth getting tho
it will be costly
i would rather to get a large tv rather than a projector
at least you can move it around
latent light
RIP Intel
Low resolution and graphics settings to better compare raw CPU performance
latent light
Yeah Ryzen 5000 supply is getting much better lately
storm osprey
i think the biggest problem is that it can actually be worse than 10700k/9900k
latent light
11700K is slower than 10700K in some cases due to structural change to L3 cache that worsens the latency compared to previous gens
chrome skiff
Is it a percentage of same tier cards or overall scores on the website.
chrome skiff
I just wanted a list of scores. was adding in userbenchmarks
supple bane
How does userbenchmark scores work against different tier gpus?
wdym?
its basically you score is a percentage
100% is a 2060 super. and say a score of 120% would be 20% faster than a 2060 super i believe
but i dont know what you mean by that question
chrome skiff
Is that because you have a 2060? I feel like i cant get a hard answer to my score. My gpu scored 203%. Of the same gpus? Or all gpus tested on the site?
supple bane
i see, no the percentage is just a percentage userbenchmark has made and its across all graphics cards
if it helps. just remove the percentage
you scored 203
a 2060 super would score 100
and integrated graphics would score like 20
my gpu scores 105 ish
chrome skiff
ok the comparison option doesnt really explain that well so i was curious if i just beat 2000 series gpus or all types. Thank you
chrome skiff
lemme run a fresh one
supple bane
a high score being 218% and a low score being 149%
chrome skiff
ah I see
supple bane
from what ive seen the percentage thing only really works with gpus
cuz i have a r5 2600 and get 85%. but 9900k's get like 100%. which is complete bs
chrome skiff
well what is it relative too? I can see a 2600 being about 85% of the performance of a 9900k. it's not like the 2600 is a dud
patent zephyr
Hi
supple bane
idk. i dont use it that way, i use it to compare how my parts are performing relative to other people with the same said part
patent zephyr
Lol I’m in the corner with my ps3 slim playing bad company 2 😂
chrome skiff
+180 on core, plus 1200 on memory. Real bench stable for 8 hours. On an aio its hitting 44c max
So i almost never loose a boost bin I think im missing 2 from stock at 29C
supple bane
im gonna do a run and see what it looks like
chrome skiff
I was curious cause it beat my 3080 (very very lightly oc'd) by almost 300 points in time spy
No ray tacing just fp32
My 5800x is also 5ghz all core memory tuned so it beat the 5900x with pbo on and 3600mhz xmp no tune too as you can see
chrome skiff
Time to build a pc
chrome skiff
You spend a lot of time oc/tuning? Those scores look great
supple bane
i litterally just opened ryzen master and msi afterburner and punched in values that i guessed would work 
quick locust
since thermal limit
supple bane
that was +200 on core and +500 on memory
chrome skiff
lol
supple bane
not sure i can push the clocks any higher than that tho with this gigashite windforce 2x cooler
patent zephyr
I’m to poor for a pc I’m still in school you see...
chrome skiff
Again user bench isnt the most accurate but i used it in comparison to 3d mark too. Seems my 2080ti beats low 30-35% of 3080s out there. Not too shabby. 6900xt isnt worth the 999 price but it is what it is
supple bane
im impressed with the ram score tbh
chrome skiff
Have you ever thought of getting a g12 and a small aio?
supple bane
its cheapo 2133 16gb
chrome skiff
yeah but 2133 with what cl?
supple bane
but its cl13
chrome skiff
ns is cl related.
supple bane
so it carries a bit
chrome skiff
Yeah exactly lol
supple bane
cl13 and overclocked to 2400mhz
its amazing how much this ram goes before touching voltage
chrome skiff
Which suprises me cause im at 3600mhz cl 14 15 15 28 and im only 40 percentile?!?!
supple bane
its 13-15-15-28
chrome skiff
Wild the bandwidth didnt help much in that test lol
supple bane
ive had this ram at 2933 mhz, thats 800mhz above stock speeds lol and i didnt touch the voltage
chrome skiff
Yeah mine is 1.375 volts
supple bane
but it crashed after a couple hours of playing so i dialled it back
i also dont know if its overheating. there isnt much airflow up that area
chrome skiff
I used to only go ham overclocking when i had things for a long time and they were falling behind. I just kinda overclock everything now since the gains were so big the past couple gens
I have air cooling on my cpu and 2 intakes right above the cpu cooler and the ram slots
hw monitor says i only hit 38c so i assume its good for the voltage thats in it
plus 4 sticks back to back
supple bane
also in my experience vengeance LPX ram is shite
ive had 2 kits die in 3 years
on 2 different motherboards too, one intel the other amd
chrome skiff
Water cooling 🙂
I was at micro center today and they had a 10700k with a 3080 and it scores like 14989 and chuckled to myself about it. Showed em my ti bench and they said it wasnt possible
chrome skiff
The raw power of a 2080ti doesnt stand a chance against a 3080. Im also only drawing 320watts
Yeah it was all timespy
supple bane
extreme or just timespy?
quick locust
@chrome skiff i could do the G12 thing since my 2080 ti hits 87C at 3000 rpm
supple bane
i would have expected like 20k at least
quick locust
although more like 78-80s in most games
supple bane
<@!165619904303726594> i could do the G12 thing since my 2080 ti hits 87C at 300...
on a triple fan triple slot card 
gets me every time
chrome skiff
I just linked you a 5900x and a 6900xt that only scored 16k
Thats a 6900xt and 4 more cores then my 5800x only being beaten by...1100? points?
supple bane
chrome skiff
Its like cars. You need a ton more horsepower to shave off a few seconds or in this scenario to raise your score a little
patent zephyr
Wow so owning a pc is complicated?
supple bane
no
patent zephyr
I wouldn’t know lol
supple bane
its complicated if you want it to be
patent zephyr
Ah ok
chrome skiff
although more like 78-80s in most games
Its worth it imo. If you are confident in putting one on and have room in your case its 100% worth it
supple bane
here is proof of the userbenchmark cpu scores being bs
my cpu scored 82%, yours scored 108%, however in timespy my cpu scored 5000 and yours 11000
quick locust
I have an rv02e so i do have space lul
supple bane
you have dissembled the card already too so i imagine you are confident in it
chrome skiff
I have a fractal design r6. Its big enough to fit a drp4 and a 360m aio
supple bane
i wouldnt be able to do it. when ever i work on my own things i panic at the smallest things and make mistakes
chrome skiff
I used to have one of these...https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Stackable-Certified-Computer-CA-1D8-00F1WN-00/dp/B00TQI9BY8
supple bane
hence why i blew my motherboard up. silly mistake that came from me panicking about messing something up
chrome skiff
You get used to it in time. If you arent in dire need of selling old parts i would torture them till they fail. I have my 2600k on my keychain. Killed that bitch when it was time to upgrade. Then i bought another just to have after they dropped to like 70 bucks
supple bane
when i built my dads pc i had that bitch up and running in about 20 minutes. because it wasnt my loss if it didnt work. so i was calm and didnt make mistakes
however when i assembled my pc i forgot to put the eps power in out of rushing and basically had a panic attack when it wasnt posting
chrome skiff
Yeah but you learned from it, im sure you check it everytime now like its back of your hand
chrome skiff
of all the things why did the rgb cables kill it?
quick locust
ive not used rgb yet, i dont really like it
supple bane
stupid deepcool connectors literally allows you to connect sata power direct from your psu right into the motherboard rgb header
chrome skiff
I have rgb components and set them static blue or purple and leave a low glow. I dont need a light show going off next to my eyes while im trying to game
supple bane
long story short. i tried controlling my fans from my mobo rgb header and that didnt work. and i then tried the powered hub but the connector from the end of that hub is the oposite to the one that plugs into the motherboard rgb header
so i connected the cable on the motherboard rgb header thinking it was a fan
chrome skiff
stupid deepcool connectors literally allows you to connect sata power direct fro...
Oh no
supple bane
so yeah, motherboard rgb cable is a female, the fans are also female. you use a splitter to turn the female into male and connect all the fans to said splitter
i removed the splitter but not the cable from the motherboard
and again, plugged the female into the powered hub thinking it was a fan
such a stupid design
chrome skiff
ive not used rgb yet, i dont really like it
You dun need it. Lights dont give you better frames lol
I would agree thats an awful design
quick locust
meanwhile my laptop: we don't need cooling around here
chrome skiff
Whats wrong with 1 heat pipe? Cmon man that things fine
supple bane
and when that motherboard went. it didnt half go out with a bang
it was a red/green gigantic flame with an incredible bang+huge amounts of smoke
chrome skiff
Mmmm love the smell of electronics
supple bane
so you can see why i am terrified of rgb now lol
luckily because the resistor closest to that header litterally blew up, the trace was broken i think so nothing else was harmed
even so sata power shouldnt be high enough voltage to fry anything else
quick locust
chrome skiff
Throw the aio on it! Is that an evga black?
quick locust
nah, a gainward phoenix
supple bane
how can that thing reach 87c. it just doesnt make sense
the heat pipes must just be dud
chrome skiff
welp i was wrong. Thats a beefy cooler. You seriously hit 80-90c? I have a asus strix that hits 68c at 55% fan speed under load
supple bane
to me the mount doesnt look great
chrome skiff
You have any other temp issues in your pc or just that?
supple bane
but i have an untrained eye. maybe its fine
chrome skiff
It looks fine lol Id rather have too much anyday then too little. Gpu dies dont give a damn
chrome skiff
Meh in the states you can get the kraken g12 for 30 bucks and any 240-360m aio would do plenty
supple bane
there are only too options for that cooler, the heatpipes are crap or the mount is bad. because fins are fins and there are plenty of those. and even passive cooled id expect something like that to hold up
or the copper plate isnt making good contact to the heatpipes maybe
chrome skiff
wait wait wait does that have a back plate?
chrome skiff
My asus card is the other way around. the 8 holes around the gpu. The inner holes are for cooler mounting while the outer holes are for backplate/trim mounting
Your mounting screws seem backward to mine lol, i again have a different card but my mounting force is all right next to the die
quick locust
RTSS seems to be dead but I can show temps outside of game
supple bane
the fans are at 35%?
quick locust
no its set to auto
supple bane
oh
quick locust
thats just the minimum value since this gpu doesnt have zero rpm mode
chrome skiff
It doesnt? Thats a pretty normal thing to have. Interesting card
supple bane
whats it called again?
quick locust
yeah its running WT right now
chrome skiff
oh lort you might of just gotten unlucky with silicon lottery.
At 845mv i hit 1905 mhz
on air before i water cooled it
854* not 845
quick locust
it crashes with other vbios so i just run stock vbios
chrome skiff
you have a bios switch?
chrome skiff
You flash your single bios card? Damn thats ballsy
quick locust
i set to 2010 mhz
chrome skiff
I have my silent profile and my ludicous bios from asus. Lets me pull 420 watts and gives me 135% power limit. The stock silent lets me do 125% power limit
quick locust
no impact on temp
quick locust
same
chrome skiff
thats oveclocking. The card will still overclock if its hot it will just lose boost bins
quick locust
chrome skiff
Plus you have to try a couple different game/benchmarks to see if its stable
chrome skiff
Idk man if it is stable that might do very well on water being much cooler. Id try it
chrome skiff
you have to turn on voltage monitoring
supple bane
oh
chrome skiff
go into the cog monitoring tab then turn it on and restart msi ab
quick locust
seem mostly ok at 2025
chrome skiff
seem mostly ok at 2025
If its stable it looks good to me
Granty crank that power limit to the max and send that card to the moon
chrome skiff
Dont do it if you dont feel comfortable
supple bane
i mentioned earlier its a gigashite windforce 2x
quick locust
lol
chrome skiff
Yeah but its 58c atm thats pretty good
supple bane
even with slightly more power limit its right up to 87c
chrome skiff
oh ok lol gotcha
supple bane
yeah that was right as the test started
chrome skiff
ehhh whats a couple c
supple bane
with stock power limits it hits about 78c. i can get a nice oc out of that so im happy
quick locust
I'm not sure where I put the AIO adapter for my pc but I think I still have it
To fit radiators
chrome skiff
Zip ties work 🙂 I have an old pc i zip tied a block to the card and used an old car radiator from a small focus. Thing ran ice cold
supple bane
yanno ive been wanting to do that with my old 1060
supple bane
if i put my 240mm rad on that im pretty sure i could break records lol. that thing oc's to the moon no joke
chrome skiff
it got the job done! The car was in an accident and i need a radiator
supple bane
its a tiny, single fan air cooler and i can push like 400 mhz core and 600mhz memory
it got 100 percentile on userbenchmark. meaning out of 100 cards it come number 1
chrome skiff
well yeah like 120mm of rad does roughyl 150 watts of tdp dissipation. Make it a push and pull you can get 180-200 watt tdp
supple bane
thats before power limit and voltage changes too
quick locust
oh its just an adapter to fit them since my case fans are 180mm
chrome skiff
So it wont work?
chrome skiff
it got 100 percentile on userbenchmark. meaning out of 100 cards it come number ...
Yeah even the clocks i just saw earlier i think it would do fantastic on water. Wont be worth it vs the performance to cost but it would run well
quick locust
@chrome skiff yeah it will
chrome skiff
perfect this time tomorrow i wanna see everyone water cooled.
quick locust
lmao
supple bane
Yeah even the clocks i just saw earlier i think it would do fantastic on water. ...
Oh ik, its an old card so I'm obviously not worried about what benefits it gives, but again its old so I wouldn't have to worry about bricking it from pumping a million volts into it
chrome skiff
I mean there was a youtuber that did it lol, i cant recall atm but its doable
chrome skiff
Like i said once the parts are old i dont mind pushing them extra hard
supple bane
Would be a good excuse to use the pcie riser I brought and literally never used
30 pounds completely wasted
chrome skiff
Time to spend more money and put it to use lol
supple bane
Id do it tommorow if I didn't have plans to use the card 
Cuz of the gpu shortage im probably giving it to my brother for his first pc
chrome skiff
Yeah im just trying to hype you up lol, You replacing it? What did you get?
supple bane
I replaced it ages ago
I had a 1060, upgraded to a 2070 about a year ago, and said 1060 is the one I was talking about above, the one going to my brother probably
chrome skiff
oh gotcha gotcha

bring it to your friends. since this would be the cheapest way to test it
then you will know whether it is a graphic card related issue or monitor issue

Yeah, its only when i load bf1
Theres even a few moments of it being fine until it hits full-screen
Like in the time where it starts up in windowed mode, it looks fine, then hits fullscreen and turns into clown vomit

this has happened before but i fixed it just cant remember how
sinful notch
see when I try going into that, it makes my whole monitor black and then before anything loads auto-resets the graphical changes

Mini itx is the dream btw, you can get cases like this if you get a mini GPU https://www.geeekstore.com/shop/a30-v2-mini-itx-case/
I got the original A30 and it was great, only issue was I broke the riser
It's worth buying the case just for the incredibly satisfying power button

For me a CPU is not the big deal the gpu is the big deal
That is the father of the pc

if you havent done this already, then go to control panel>network and sharing center>click ur ethernet>properties>configure>scroll down until u find Speed & Duplex> and select maximum bandwith

someone has same soldering skills as me

holy moly they really need to practice those soldering skills
way too much solder and not enough heat by the looks of it

hi cuties
supple bane
not enough solder then
quick locust
I have to make them flat for this project since I need to have chips on top of it on the other side of pcb
supple bane
ah
quick locust
I use 380 C which is probably fine
supple bane
one thing ive always struggled with is soldering wire together
its really hard to gauge if the solder is plentiful in the middle and all the copper strands are stuck and not just the edges
quick locust
For me it's small modules on throughholes since they're hard to get right on the pcb when you solder the other side
So some of them I did has been left or right turnt by gravity lol
supple bane
I use 380 C which is probably fine
im a man, my cheapo iron doesnt have a temperature change. so i just use time held on the point to change temperature
little time=less temperature. more time=more temperature

my cousin got a pc with a r5 3600 some months ago
with stock cooler and a normie case
so yeah the temps shouldnt be super low ofc
but he has super high temps
which i also beleive shouldnt happen
his cpu goes to approx 85c with literally almost any game running
even if he plays on low settings and limits the frame rate because that only makes the gpu work less but not the cpu apparently
fallen harbor
i was thinking of using a good thermal paste
but not sure if that will make a difference
solar kestrel
couldnt hurt to re-apply some new thermal paste
quick locust
the wraith stealth is kind of bad
85C doesn't harm the cpu but might lower the boost clock a bit

i was thinking of using a good thermal paste
could it be because of bad airflow in his case?

ok for anyone that reads this and is planning on getting a vr headset. just avoid oculus at all costs. their products specs wise are intriguing but from my experience its a shitty company that is run by shitty people. ive spent the past 2 weeks troubleshooting it with no help at all from oculus support. and im now giving up and accepting that its 400 pounds down the drain. i could rant on for hours about my experience with their headset tbh
supple bane
im just giving my experience
weak girder
Im not planning on buying one tho because that shit expensive
supple bane
for a headset to just STOP working at all randomly on my pc but work fine on others
all because crappy software and firmware compatibility. and oculus have done diddle squat to help me

There's so many Ryzen 5800X and 5950X in stock in comparison to 5600X and 5900X because Zen3 and 7nm yields are so good that 8-core chiplets are way more common than 6-core ones

Anyone have one of the Schitt DACs? Either the Hel or the Fulla?
storm osprey
i have schiit modi 2 and magni 2
zinc python
What’s it look like in windows? I’m used to Turtle Beach stuff where I’ll have a separate channel for Game and Chat audio, then their DAC has physical mixer controls
storm osprey
schiit doesnt come with software
zinc python
I route Discord through the Chat audio, game through the other. Wonders for streaming and mixing for work calls
Damn. Only one output channel in windows then?
If I can do this with some decent software instead, I may just upgrade my setup anyway
I’m trying to get out of “upper gaming” range and into mid audiophile range. Pick up some sennheisers and a schitt
I have the elite pro + tactical audio controller now, I really do like the headset and controller, but they have such shit software
The best feature is a physical mixer and the two output channels in windows
storm osprey
ah, i cant really answer much in terms of mixing and what not, my schiit stack is purely for music listening at work
glossy plinth
you an audiophile?
storm osprey
slight
zinc python
Thank you though, that’s helpful. I’m going to rule out schitt for now unless I can find some kind of software to set up virtual audio channels
storm osprey
im not gonna tell you that you need 200 dollar headphones and 200 dollars in gear just to begin you audio journey
glossy plinth
$20 apple earbuds started my audio journey
storm osprey
hell, for a vast majority of people i think 30-50 dollar headphones will be endgame
and tbf they get 90% of the way there compared to something like 6xx
glossy plinth
yeah but wont cheap headphones break easily
zinc python
No, obviously not. Use what you like, really.
I’m just dumb and I want like... an upgrade in quality

6xx being the universally agreed upon best bang for buck audiophile headphone

I’m just dumb and I want like......
my recent comments are to water asking if im an audiophile

depends what you get, i know of koss headphones that last for years
even if they do break within a year or 2, they are literally 20-40 bucks
glossy plinth
all i can tell you from personal experience is dont buy the g430 headphones
mine is in 3 pieces rn, material so weak
storm osprey
imo dont buy any gaming headsets
glossy plinth
seinnheiser then?
storm osprey
only 2 i can wholeheartedly give the pass to are hyperx clouds and sennheiser pc37/8x
storm osprey
idk about anything by hyperx other than the clouds, but clouds are really good
mainly because they took an already established headphone and put a mic and their brand on it though
glossy plinth
my friend says hyperx has a shitty mic and build quality
storm osprey
ehhh, no one complained about my mic, its "good enough"
and i only had my headset for a year, so i cant personally comment on build quality
prime jasper
I've had HyperX headsets since 2017. Amazing build quality.
I've only had 2 and the one I have now I just got as an upgrade
Not bc the old one broke

The sennheiser GSX 100 looks like it does what I’m looking for

Any difference between WD red and blue? Red is 10 bucks more lol

in terms of SSD im not sure
for HDD im pretty sure red is intended for surveillance

Designed for long life and capable of suriving in a very vibratey environment

if youre just using it for OS/gaming/casual use, WD blue 3d nand is more than enough

actually... they are all smr drives...
wd blue or seagate barracuda is fine for normal users
opaque saddle
i dont see the point getting SMR drive on nas, or you are willing to spend extra for it
CMR is the one that you should be getting if you want to get WD RED
anyway for ssd wise, i would go for samsung at all cost... not thinking WD anymore

wd vs samsung for 1tb is a 20 dollar difference
sullen hound
ok, maybe i am in the entirely wrong place, but gonna try here.
I am not that well known in computers and gaming, i recently bought a decent PC that i can game on. I bought BF1 and i really enjoy it, and the community is surprisingly good!
My problem is, i am having lag spikes. By googling this problem i started pinging my router as well as a random website. When the Website gets a lag spike, my ping to the router does as well. I get like 2000+ ms lag spike, once every minute or so. Other times it's 10ms or so. I am unsure how to fix this or what the exact problem is....i am on Wifi, but getting it on LAN is not really a good option
glossy plinth
corsair mp600 ssd
sullen hound
is my internetconnection bad, like, do i need to do something with my router? or is the problem my connection to the router?
storm osprey
wd and samsung both have 5 year warranties as well

its really hard to gauge the problem when you are on wifi, since that alone can be a cause for a lot of problems
opaque saddle
How so? You had issues with them?
Reliability. there is nothing wrong with WD (if it needs to be WD, i will go for WD Black) , but i have seen many people who got SSD and faced many other issues
storm osprey
i used wifi from 1 room away, literally 1 wall, maybe 15 feet apart, and my connection was really unstable, i went wired and hardly ever have prbolems anymore
sullen hound
i understand, but since the lag spikes seem to be consistent (a 2sec lag spike every minute), i thought maybe there is a logical problem
storm osprey
sorted by price per gb
opaque saddle
many people that i know of have been using samsung (apart from the stupid firmware issue) and still working after 5 years of use
storm osprey
i think wd blue is the clear winner here
opaque saddle
and avoid wd green for sure
storm osprey
only reasonable step up would be crucial mx500 for 95 bucks
opaque saddle
coz it doesnt have DRAM (cache)

im going a computer science assignment and im fairly certain these are misleading at best
a.) "they need a lot of energy for their cooling systems" is technically true. but thats not the reason data centres draw lots of power. its the damn 200w cpu's in there.
b.) the temperature and effectiveness of the cooling does not impact power draw at all
oak ibex
is that seneca?
supple bane
yes
proud trellis
i have to use that for my science. i actually like using it as it gives the info before the questions most the time
vale shadow
b.) the temperature and effectiveness of the cooling does not impact power draw ...
It actually does. A effective cooling system means you can run higher power on your processors which is resulting in higher energy use.
supple bane
But my point is that the power draw in a data center isn't caused by cooling
And actually what you said supports my point, cooling isn't the main factor for power draw in a data center
Correlation does not mean causation i guess
vale shadow
Cooling system are actually quite effective. So yeah most energy is consumed by storage and processors
supple bane
The things said are technically true, yes cooling draws power. But I think its misleading that to phrase it like that says the cooling is the bigger factor for power draw
And honestly I wouldn't care but its supposed to be a revision website, it needs to be right
Especially the second screenshot. Thats just plain wrong
quick locust
The google datacenter here paid for solar parks to compensate for their power use
supple bane
Making a server run cooler with passive means like hot and cold Isles would actually increase power draw as the cpu and gpus would clock higher and thus draw more power
