what have i done

edgy jungle
#

Hey guys; in preparation for Windows 11, I discovered that my PC is running in CSM, instead of the UEFI option it has. One disk is in GPT mode (my storage drive) whilst two others, including my system drive runs with MBR, so they need to be swapped, in order for Win 11 to run. I'm gonna try to use the MBR2GP.exe tool, but I have no idea if doing so will fuck me over, and make me buy a new copy of windows. Is it safe? Have y'all done it?

visual quail
#

wouldnt risk it

edgy jungle
visual quail
#

i dont know im good with windows 10

#

would you risk your computer for an 11 after the word windows

edgy jungle
#

There are other features that come from swapping my system from CSM to UEFI

#

Plus, platform unity, since I have disks of both MBR and GPT in my system

visual quail
#

ill just see what google says

#

MBR2GPT.exe is a command line tool which is located in the System32 folder. With it, you can effectively and non-destructively convert a Windows 10 OS disk from MBR (for Legacy BIOS) to GPT partition style (for UEFI) without modifying/deleting any data on the disk or making a clean installation of Windows 10.

edgy jungle
#

So it should be fine?

visual quail
#

check around other websites to see if it IS safe.

edgy jungle
#

Microsoft says it works, I'll check further around

supple bane
#

What is that measuring should I say

visual quail
#

gpu temp

proud trellis
#

the fuck

supple bane
#

Considering your system shuts of at 95c

#

Something tells me thays Fahrenheit

visual quail
#

yes

#

but msi is too advanced to switch the letters

supple bane
#

Yeah thought so

visual quail
#

wait that means my old old computer with a gtx 650 was at 95+ degrees on crysis????

supple bane
#

Those old cards might have had a higher max temperature

Idk if you can spend that much on some headphones there are probably some better options

#

But I was saying for me they work well and I’ve had my for about 3 years without any issues

ionic hearth
digital hill
#

wh1000xm4 is not high end

#

If you kinda want a decent headphone the hifiman he-x4 on drop is 129 and should much better then wh1000xm4 due to it being open backs

#

and due to it being planar magnetics you also get nice bass compared to other open backs.

#

Might need an amp but I think pc can run it without one

anybody knows why my memory clock is locked at 2000mhz?

#

they are two 2666mhz modules

#

or is that only gpu memory?

#

id assume the gpu memory is the one on the top

#

but idk

#

nvm it was gpu memory

#

it lets me increase it to 2200 though, idk what that would exactly mean

Ando if u can bear the noise of the fans then put it on 100%

#

Especially in summer

fallen harbor
#

wdym

#

why would i

heady hazel
#

Gpu tens to heat a lot

normal matrix
fallen harbor
#

i have a configured curve for it already

#

i dont have much of a problem in summer

heady hazel
#

Curve is good but it doesn't truly work sometime u need to cool the card

fallen harbor
#

i always check the temps they rarely go above 65c

heady hazel
#

Curve is using the gpu usage to define when it should spin the fans or not and not the temperature

fallen harbor
#

on idle it stays at 25-35

heady hazel
#

65 is good

They found a galaxy with no Dark Matter

Wonder how the mass distribution is then

prime jasper

I mean yeah most galaxies are like 99% nothing

Imagine not having dark matter

I just meant most of volume is empty

Bro if we could harness that shit

#

You'd need a massive vessel

prime jasper
#

I mean yes we've technically made an FTL system that works but the amount of energy required is like 10 million nuclear bombs

#

Plus it gives time itself the middle finger, so if we went somewhere that was 60 million light years away, 60 million years wouldn't pass for anybody

guys dont get windows 11 because thats an odd number

digital hill

I mean windows 7 was a good os and it was an odd number

#

windows 98 se was also good no wait that's even

#

Windows 3.11 good os and made windows a staple in our computers and its an odd number

prime jasper
#

ultimiate overheating pc

#

XD

#

i actually wanna make this

prime jasper
#

thats why you print it in ABS

#

#

it's free pizza with a virus lol

#

wow XD

#

i really like how this one looks

#

i really like how this one looks, well besides the rgb

prime jasper
#

it might not smell the best tho from hot wood

#

true and i dont think would is good for heat

primal pier
prime jasper
#

this looks awsome tho

#

if you could get the metal on the outside to be heat sinks and get it to be scilent

#

dam the hard work that must of gone into that

#

maybe its time for me to go learn how to use the router and this time not the networking one

#

i got some prebuilt because only way to get 3080 soo

prime jasper
#

i would love to switch cases from the bs

prime jasper
#

maybe il go open up cad

#

maybe il use 360 fusion to design

#

to be honest have not used cad software in a very long time like years ago.

i found the orignal case post

Hello lads

prime jasper

yo

prime jasper
#

and metal vinal on the center

prime jasper
prime jasper
#

i wonder how hard it would be to make a case that uses metal and wood

#

but the metal for cooling

#

maybe hide a quiet fan inside for helping push air accross the fins

#

that might work but the fans would get load on heavy load though.

#

maybe would get some of thoes 20 dolar fans tho

#

well to be honest i think every time i run bf 5 on my system it shutdown like it loses power so i think it's over heating or something in windows is messing it up and i have already done a clean install of windows but i think im going to need to clean format windows and reinstall from cd or usb to fix it.

#

no that sounds like your powersupply is not powerfull enough for your pc

#

what wattage is it?

#

or the powersupply could be dying slowly and unable to keep up with sudden increase of current

#

let me check

#

ok so it's a corsshair vs550 psu

#

whats compenents do you have?

#

like gpu and cpu

#

the rest ussaly dont add much to power draw unless your running like a aray of hard drives XD

#

if you dont know what they are you can look in device manager

#

@prime jasper i have an z3090 aorus mobo and cpu is Intel i7 9700k 3.60GHZ GPU is MSI GTX 1060 gaming x 6GB RAM is 16GB of DDR 4 2666MHZ and ARCTIC FREEZER 12 CPU heat sink

#

i see im running it through a calculator XD

#

odd it should work with the psu

#

i mean it's enough to run a lot of games but when i run bf 5 or have my computer running for days and then play a game it will just shut off

#

how long have you had the psu

#

i have had this psu for 6 years.

#

its probaly time to get a new one

#

but the computer will shutdown when even sometimes i am not playing a game at all

#

alright one second let me go find the peice of software to watch temps

#

yeah that's what i was thinking i dont think it's an over heating issue as i have 3 fans at the front one at the back and one on the cpu but i could always add more.

#
#

it reads the temp sensors on your pc so you can see what temps they run at

#

sure i mean my room does get a bit hot due to other computers running sometimes

#

id say running above 80c is bad but some people like living on he edge at 90c and the pc will shut off after 100c

#

well its a good way to test if it could be over heating

#

i run about 60c on both gpu and cpu

#

idle temps

#

well here the temps now

#

not to hot

#

how about gpu temps? their quite far down

#

XD thats not hot at all actually thats really really good

#

but thats mb temps whats the cpu temp?

#

thats good temps

#

what about the cpu? its under the cpu icon

#

yeah this really looks like a powersupply issue

#

from what i see on the internet it can be from 5 years to 10 years so your definitly in the range

#

and it shutting down out of nowhere even when doing nothing seems like a failing powersupply

#

yeah but mainly i can get it to happen as soon as i boot up bf 5 and then the computer shutdown down like it's a lose of pwoer from the PSU

#

yeah that would be due to BF5 stressing the psu so fast it cant compensate

#

that might be yet but bf 5 has worked before fine if i just leave the computer not running for so long in hours.

#

that too

#

but if its power supply age issue sounds about right it working before and now not working

#

i fuckin swear if this dam nat dosent stop flying right between my eyes when im trying to type

#

well this as been going on for like a year or so but when i play rd2 online it works fine for a few houes then out of nowhere it would shut off so i tought it would be an over heating issue.

#

i mean start up something that uses the cpu and gpu and watch the temps

#

have you cleaned the pc recently?

#

yep and i might have to do that but is it worth just getting a super high power supply and get more fans as i do want to get a gtx 3090 soon

#

XD id recomend a 3080 over 3090

#

the price to performance drops between 3080 and 3090

#

i got a 3080 its plenty for even 4k gaming

#

well any of the 30 cards would work for me but i would need to know what power supply would be a good option

#

this can help you pick out a psu for your setup

#

is it worth upgrading the CPU as well with the GPU or is the 9700k still good

#

most games use gpu mostly so it should still be decent

#

but a 3090 is kinda very overkill for a 9700k

#

well if i do go for a 3090 the cpu would be able to handle it?

digital hill
#

It would but uhh make sure you get a psu over 1000w

prime jasper
#

ok so that would be for the same for a 360 / 370 / 380 as well?

prime jasper
#

i mean i could just pickup a pre built with a Unlocked 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700K NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB with that would be better

#

i mean prebuilts are good especcaly if you dont plan on upgrading the computer as most of the time you can get a good warnety

#

i mean if i upgrade this current computer i'm using i'm might be getting another depnding what i'm going to do with it.

#

what do you plan on doing with it?

#

current computer gaming working game engine stuff and video games when i get time

#

ah so making games, yeah that can get quite intensive

#

i mean i can stick with my main computer so mainly i want to focus on getting that upgrade and not get a prebuilt if not needed

#

also not good to have a pc shutting down half way through XD

prime jasper
#

well i know networks stuff is very very not intensive

#

Also i have played a bf 5 match on a GT 740 and it runs bad but still able to play lol

#

packet tracer uses like 2-5% of cpu XD

prime jasper
#

so mainly i would like to get a second upgraded computer but im just going to stick with upgrading my main pc for now because dont reailly need a super computer lol

#

true

#

also i'm still running a WD 1TB HDD as well

#

i simply got it as ik i will use it for a long time and if i get good powerfull compontets now i dont have to upgrade every year i can just keep using it for a long time to come

prime jasper
#

yeah that's the idea is upgrade now you are good for a few years i mean i have had this GPU 4 years and it runs some games well but bf 4 just dies with the 1060

#

he he thats why i got a 3080, i think it will be a while before i need to even think about upgrading

#

if i ever do

prime jasper
prime jasper
#

and i have it completetly filled XD

#

got a small gamestop already downloaded and ready to play when ever i feel like the game

prime jasper
prime jasper
prime jasper
#

like if the pc is idle it might not have to spin up fan

#

i got 110 games downloaded

prime jasper
#

only issue is half the time i cant choose what game i should play XDD

prime jasper
#

just never go cheap on the PSU

#

dont go overly expensive but not cheap either

#

a cheap psu can easily cost you alot more for example if it shocks everything

#

so hows the temps with the 3080 does it run super hot?

prime jasper
prime jasper
#

i mean yeah i don't overclock anything on my system i find it runs well on stock so the 9700k would go well with a 380?

#

it should be decent maybe a few frames less but i dont think its worth enough to upgrade if the highest power draw thing is gonna be games

#

ooo and btw movavi video editor is currentl 70% off

#

i might get that XD

#

i mean a few frames is not going to be an issue unlike now like on bf 4 i can't even play it on the 1060 wuth everything set to low in the user cfg or in the game settings but i think windows is fucked up somewhere so i need to do a fresh install from disk one day to see if that fixes it otherwises i just gave EA free money lol

#

are you able to go in vc?

prime jasper
#

sure.

#

il be in general 1

#

sure i will be there now just going to check my audio settings

paper grove
#

You should be able to play bf4 on highest settings with 60+ FPS

#

Maybe it's an another bottleneck? (Aka CPU, ram)

In a new patent from AMD, researchers have highlighted techniques for performing machine learning operations using one or more dedicated ML accelerator chiplets. The resulting device is called an Accelerated Processing Device or APD which can be used for both gaming and data center GPUs via different implementations. The method involves configuring a part of the chiplet memory as a cache while the other as directly accessible memory.

Yo, it's great that China's cracking down on Crypto and getting all these mining farms to stop buying GPUs.

its basically just "high" end motherboards that have the option, and if you dont have it then on your bike i guess

tawdry elk

I have b460m-a

And it has

supple bane
#

i think you can buy add in little gizmos to give you that option, but like id guess 95% of windows user base wouldnt even know how to take their side panel off their computer, let alone know what TPM is and what to buy let alone how to install it

#

and also people who do have boards that support the option, id guess 50% of those people wouldnt even know how to get into bios, never mind where tpm would be

tawdry elk

Yeah for those who have an older pc

Its hard

its different for every board

#

System looks good. The things with no price are most likely out of stock. Video cards in general have been tough to find.

pale anvil
#

It's a decent build component wise, some suggestions I'd make based off my personal experience would be getting a different case maybe something cheaper and also something that is M-ATX so it looks better in the case as having that current setup will make it look really off, the extra money save from the case you can spend and get a 2TB HDD instead

#

Also if you have the budget available aim for a 144hz monitor its not necessary but will feel a lot better

wintry prairie
#

Does anyone have experience with nVidia Reflex and Latency Analyzer?

If so, has it helped? Has it helped a lot, if at all?

round hound

im a competitive player i feels like better but not zero latency as nvidia makes it seem

#

cough marketing cough

zenith vortex
#

Just realised that was posted hours ago lmao cheers discord mobile

pale anvil
#

Yeah that a nice case for sure, superb airflow and nice to build in for the most part, still an ATX so it will look a bit empty with the M-ATX board you've chosen but you can always get a new board in future

#

That 250gb SSD you have is that just to boot from and install a few applications on?

atomic jackal
#

i think

atomic jackal
#

some games are just extremely slow

pale anvil
#

You could get another SSD at a cheaper price too that will compromise a tiny bit on speed but if its just for application and boot you won't notice it at all really

#

I use a WD SN550 to boot from and it takes like 15 seconds

#

A good budget atx board would be Asus TUF GAMING B450-PLUS II

#

also has 2 Nvme slots so room for expansion

atomic jackal
#

i see

#

is the psu good?

#

someone said i should change it

visual quail
#

700-750👍

#

check out why it says "incompatibilities"

pale anvil
#

That looks nice, the incompatibles says about bios update but the motherboards ship with 3000 series support if you are buying it new and not pre owned

#

PSU is fine also why did the person suggest changing it 650W is for sure enough

atomic jackal
#

idk he said his broke

rotund atlas
atomic jackal
#

i think the card i use has 3rd gen support though

supple bane
atomic jackal
#

will a 550w be enough tho

supple bane
#

Plenty

#

The estimated wattage is 344. So 550 is more than enough

#

Gives you 200w headroom which Is what is recommended for upgrades

atomic jackal
#

why

#

lol

supple bane
#

Just, get a lower wattage but higher quality psu

atomic jackal
#

what does that mean

#

i see

supple bane
#

Yeah, its incredibly unlikely for a modern psu to go boom, and if it does its more than likely a bad product or build defect that could have happened to ANY psu high quality or not

latent light

#

But psus do die, and the cheaper they are the faster they die

oh i think thats its only in my country

#

it says "no international sales"

#

my father barely agrees to buy a pc anyway, i dont think i can go higher

pale anvil
#

With PSU's if I'm aiming for a budget I will go for a 80+ bronze from a v reputable company like BeQuiet or EVGA

atomic jackal
#

hah

pale anvil
#

I've build many systems never had someone come to me with any issues with their EVGA power supply

atomic jackal
#

as i said i dont think i can spend more than the build i did

#

so if its group regulated then well, it is what it is

#

i originally meant to buy it from a custom pc site

supple bane
#

Yanno group regulated powersupplies are only bad in extreme circumstances right ?

#

One example would be using 2 psus on one machine and using one entire psu just for gpus

#

That could cause voltages to fluctuate, but under normal usage they are perfectly fine

#

I'm running a 2070 and a 2600 on a cheap af vs550 which I believe is group regulated and don't have any issues

#

Have been running it for years

#

I run my gpu cpu and ram overclocked 24/7

I believe him

supple bane

Its not

Why would he lie about something like that

@atomic jackal If you are worried about your PSU if you want I can DM you a list of PSU's formed but LTT community so its well trusted

it will tell you what PSUs are good for each tier of system

atomic jackal

sure

i just need to reduce costs as much as possible since my dad is not too tech savvy and hes angry that he doesnt get a montior bundled with the case(he barely knows how to use a pc and only used laptops)

pale anvil

Yeah if you are new to building PC's and etc I would not recommend any OC'ing until you feel comfortable even then I don't do it and I know a fair bit

molten bramble
#

Lets keep it that way.

pale anvil
#

I feel like its not worth the hand off for the small 3-6% increase in performance

atomic jackal
#

also there is another major problem

#

i dont have an iso usb

#

ready

#

my last pc broke a few months ago

pale anvil
#

Are you paying a company to build it for you?

atomic jackal
#

so i dont really have a place to make a windows usb

atomic jackal
pale anvil
#

you could always ask them to install windows ready for you

atomic jackal
#

costs $$$

#

a lot of it

#

at that

#

you have to buy the overpriced oem

supple bane
#

i believe this is a bit cheaper

pale anvil
#

Long as you have a 8gb usb stick you can get a windows 10 installation media online for free then you can get a key for cheap

supple bane
#

it is in the uk at least. i cant say in turkey

pale anvil
#

you could ask a friend for one possibly

supple bane
#

or just dont activate it :P

atomic jackal
#

hmm i can ask a friend to go to their house and use their pc

#

yeah actually

#

i have wallpaper engine

#

who cares

supple bane
#

you dont need to buy windows if you dont want, youll just have to live with the watermark. i did for like a year

atomic jackal
#

ill just use kms pico to get rid of the watermark

supple bane
#

i upgraded my gpu a while ago and it just randomly activated when i installed it, but im not complaining

#

turn pc off with windows not activated, install new gpu, turn pc back on, windows is now activated

#

nice

atomic jackal
#

hmm

#

thats weird

pale anvil
#

thats a W

atomic jackal
#

i might try that

#

lol

#

can your pc get locked because of a fraudulent key?

supple bane
#

i think it had something to do with my windows licence being linked to an account and the account wasnt setup properly or something idk

pale anvil
#

what do you mean by a fraudulent key? like one from a key site for cheap?

supple bane
#

becuase i do actually have a windows 10 licence, but i assumed it expired because i changed too many parts

atomic jackal
#

you know there is like key generators right

#

what if i actually get a right one and use it

dry pike
pale anvil
#

Key generators I'm 99% sure are not real

#

but you can buy them online for like a few $'s

supple bane
#

but maybe it was linked to my microsoft account or somthing idk

pale anvil
#

Yeah its tied to mobo they let you change your mobo once before needing a new key

supple bane
#

ive changed mine twice :)

#

from h110, to b450 which i blew up and then another b450

atomic jackal
dry pike
atomic jackal
#

what are the possibilities of a retail key seller being a scammer though

pale anvil
#

went from B450MDS3H, B450F-Gaming and now a B550 F-Gaming and I had to get a new key for my B550

supple bane
#

well my first pc was a prebuilt and my key is from that

atomic jackal
#

like he takes your money

#

doesnt give the key

dry pike
supple bane
#

you can go to a computer store and physically buy a key if that makes you feel better

supple bane
atomic jackal
#

so

#

if retail keys can be used multiple times

#

can i use for example, my friend's key?

pale anvil
#

Retail key can only be used once

atomic jackal
#

why is it so cheap then

pale anvil
#

on key sites?

prime jasper
#

Savetitanfall

atomic jackal
supple bane
#

i actually know the answer to this one :)

atomic jackal
#

a oem key for windows pro is around 1500 lira

#

but a retail key is

pale anvil
#

its because they get them in bulk from companys that have like either closed down or have spare and sell them off

atomic jackal
#

90lira

#

which is like

#

10 bucks

pale anvil
#

there is probably other ways they get them but I assume thats from illegitimate ways

supple bane
#

a lot of key sites buy their keys from places in the world where the price is much lower. as microsoft sell it there at the lower price as the know if they dont know one will be able to afford it and wont buy it, so key sites buy them from places in the world where its cheap then sell it here at just a little more to make profit

pale anvil
#

that too ^ its like in turkey twitch subs are really cheap if I convert it from my country's currency

atomic jackal
#

so they buy keys from like nigeria then sell it at like

#

germany

supple bane
#

basically

atomic jackal
supple bane
#

although nigera isnt really that poor, bad example haHAA

#

well it is, but there are poorer places

#

its the wealthiest country in africa iirc

atomic jackal
#

so a twitch sub would be like 0.75 cents

atomic jackal
#

its south africa

#

then there is an island nation

supple bane
#

no i was right!

#

i did learn something from school!

atomic jackal

do you guys have a cheap monitor that you can recommend?

#

im thinking of buying a cheap monitor temporarily but then upgrade to something better

#

since my dad isnt really keen on spending much on monitors

#

my focus is to get the pc first

#

something around 60-80 dollars will do

opaque saddle
#

why don't you get a good monitor first...

#

unless you want a dual monitor setup

#

otherwise, go for a good monitor to save you money

atomic jackal
#

sure then, what is a good cheap monitor

#

thats around 80-100

#

dollars

opaque saddle
#

I don't know any in particular because it depends on the country and the currency you are using

atomic jackal
#

lira and turkey

#

so something around 800 or below liras

#

below would be preferable

opaque saddle
#

if you really want a cheap display and use it for dual monitor setup, go for a 21" 1080p IPS display. usually be around 100AUD with tax

atomic jackal
#

can you link to one?

opaque saddle
#

Which is like these if it is on sale in Australia (from Local Post Office). Cannot link one because it isn't on sale currently

opaque saddle
#

why is that so expensive?

#

it sounds like to me you shall get a good monitor

supple bane
#

180 aud

opaque saddle
#

instead of a cheap one plus a good monitor. That will cost you two monitors in total

atomic jackal
#

idk

#

we have a lot of taxes

#

and inflation

opaque saddle
opaque saddle
#

I suggest you to get an IPS display. If it is too expensive, VA will be an alternative option

opaque saddle
atomic jackal
#

you mean aesthetically?

opaque saddle
#

the colour and colour accuracy

stable mountain
#

IPS looks prettier but is slower grey-to-grey i think

opaque saddle
#

this is why i would suggest people to think twice if they wanted to get a TN panel

supple bane
#

also i wouldnt go for 1080p 144hz on a 3060

opaque saddle
#

If you got a chance, go to the stores that sell monitors

supple bane
#

id either go 1080p 240hz or 1440p 144hz

atomic jackal
#

budget restraints prevent me from getting both

#

unfortunately

opaque saddle
#

1440p 144hz VA can be cheap

supple bane
#

monitors are a bottleneck that no one talks about

opaque saddle
#

but if you want to get a good monitor, you have to pay a little bit more

supple bane
#

in your situation id either make room for a nicer monitor OR going fucking as cheap as possible on the monitor and put all the money into the pc, then get a nice monitor later

opaque saddle
atomic jackal
#

nope, i think 1440p is extremely expensive

#

i wouldnt give 3 grand to a monitor

atomic jackal
#

it would be appealing to both my dad and me

supple bane
#

well then go on ebay and find the cheapest monitor you can

atomic jackal
#

a "good" monitor that has the stuff you want doesnt come without at least a 3,5k or 4k

supple bane
#

1080p 60hz 21" monitors should be basically free

#

how much is the samsung odyssey g5 there ? @atomic jackal

supple bane

atomic jackal
#

seems like that's not sold here

#

i couldnt find it at least

opaque saddle
#

what is your budget range

marsh gull
#

I have a friend that hesitates between the razer basilisk v2 and the razer viper utimate

#

which one is better?

atomic jackal
opaque saddle
#

do you need it urgently? otherwise you shall wait for a big sale

#

that will get your a chance of getting a good display with a reasonable price

atomic jackal
#

kind of yes

#

because the sale of the pc that im buying ends in 3 days

opaque saddle
#

I will take a look when i got more time later on

atomic jackal
#

but i dont think my priority is ips

#

since i dont really care about it

opaque saddle
#

VA is good with a reasonable price

atomic jackal
#

i wont give 2000+ more for "wow vibrant colors"

opaque saddle
#

but it has terrible ghosting effect (with cheaper panels)

#

VA panels are the middle ground, with cheaper price than IPS, colourful (not as good as IPS) and darker Black colour on screen

opaque saddle
# atomic jackal 1000-2000 lira

in that case, you shall be primarily look at/getting displays with VA panels. (forget about IPS) but please don't get TN panels

#

this is because people are getting displays with VA/IPS display these days. It will looks way better compared to TN (and it doesn't cost much extra)

atomic jackal
#

ips monitors cost almost triple

#

wym it doesnt cost extra

opaque saddle
#

VA panel doesn’t usually cost too much compared to TN panels (at least in my country)

#

Sometimes cheaper than TN because the lack of supply (TN) here

atomic jackal
#

opposite here

#

ive not seen any va panels

#

ips are overpriced

#

so that only leaves tn

opaque saddle
#

I will look at it later when I got time

atomic jackal
#

sure

opaque saddle
atomic jackal
#

that looks pretty good yeah

#

however the sale ends in a day and i dont think my father will buy until the case arrives

opaque saddle
#

i cant find anything better. more importantly, it has 350nits display

atomic jackal

still, ill try

opaque saddle

right. no worries

@supple bane I see

I thought it was that cause I've had similiar for long

supple bane
#

i didnt realise proper grounding could have such a massive effect

#

i thought the psu being grounded would be enough. but i guess a metal case is important for quality audio too

#

that might explain actually why basically all cases even the cheapest unbranded things are made out of metal instead of much cheaper and easier to form plastic

quick locust

My current case is pretty heavy due to all the steel

#

Now that I think about it I changed the power setup too. Before I was using one cheap powerstrip feeding a nice powerbar which my entire setup was plugged into

Now its just a nice powerstrip

#

what test

#

timespy?

weary cypress
#

I believe so

#

DX12

#

it was a benchmark for "gaming systems"XD

supple bane
#

thats what my pc scores

#

but i have a much slower cpu

#

so you are underperforming, run it again and see what the individual cpu and gpu scores are

weary cypress
#

Yeah my overall score was somewhat near 8529

#

I'll have to do it when I'm home Kek

#

if it requires me to OC my cpu then

#

i'll just crank it up to 5ghz

supple bane
#

well that was with my cpu overclocked to the redline

#

but even with my cpu overclocked it should be destroyed by the 8700k

weary cypress
#

Yes, it should be

#

Unless my PC is trying to tell me something

supple bane
#

well thats if its the cpu bringing the score down, the gpu score might be low

weary cypress
#

Well my CPU is 4~ years old

supple bane
#

so is mine

#

like i said, it might be the gpu thats underperforming, youll have to wait and see when you run it again and get the individual scores

weary cypress
#

I've not got the benchmark but i know the score i got

#

did it 3 days ago

#

GPU Score - 8823
CPU Score - 7352

#

overall is like 8565

#

if that looks right
