There is so much more to streaming that just a GPU. CPU matters, RAM Matters, Internet Speed Matters...

cpu matters more than gpu afaik
midnight crypt
Depends on what kind of encoding you do
prime jasper
is the 6600xt enough for livestreaming battlefield games?
I would also like to add that it depends on your output resolution. If I were you, I would search YT for some videos on streaming with a 6600xt. I have never used an AMD GPU, but I can tell you from what I have read/seen on YT, the Nvidia NVENC encoder is far superior. There is much much more to streaming than just hitting the "go live" button. Especially in 2021. If you want to make a hobby out of it, that is awesome..however don't expect to be the next Dr. Disrespect / Ninja / XQC, as the days of growing quickly are OVER.

You can have an I3 CPU, and a Nvidia GPU. If you use NVENC for streaming you won't need a high core CPU.

(slight additional note on this) Corsair fans have different requirements depending on if it's LL/HD etc, be very careful to make sure you don't require the commander pro

this is not possible
wintry prairie
Sure it is
pale quartz
mixing 2 different CAS latencies requires a 1:1 FLCK clock which will lock the CL14 stick to a rate of CL22
pale quartz
the question is if the memory will be ran in dual channel, it won't be :)
they will be in single channel
wintry prairie
It will still run in Dual Channel
pale quartz
dual channel requires that both sticks are in DD which isn't confirmed, which won't occur as previously stated if one is single rank, which considering its CL 22, is highly likely, you do not get double data rate sticks at CL22
wintry prairie
Put the two of one CL in the appropriate slots, and the other two in corresponding slots.
pale quartz
^^
@lament flare your best choice is to sell your current CL22 stick and get a second CL14 stick those variations of ICs within the stick and dies will inevitably give you memory errors later on

Correct!
quick locust
For that reason
wraith sky
He does not get it
quick locust
It'll only possibly make instability if you set all the sticks to run at the fastest stick
Since you are overclocking at that point
pale quartz
I do, it's just that mixing memory is not recommended for a reason, memory have different subtimings within their XMP profiles
especially in different CAS latency variations
quick locust
Yes I know, and it'll run at the worst speed and timings of them
So you'll lose performance but not stability
It also has nothing to do with dual channel
You can view Intel's documentation if you want
pale quartz
a motherboard will lock down primary timings, however subtimings will default to the motherboard spec rather than the xmp spec
wraith sky
🤦♀️
quick locust
Which will not cause instability
Just worse performance than having all 2 or 4 be the same stick
pale quartz
it primarily depends on the processor, however when dealing with cas latencies of 20, the performance degradation can be considered unstable, game wise anyways
the system will be fine, performance, not so much
quick locust
Yes, but not stability
Which you were talking about
You'll have worse performance but not system stability and not memory errors
That's why there is this system instead of running all the sticks at same cas and speed at the fastest one
Stability over performance
pale quartz
memory errors are silent, you can't actually view them unless you use a process such as event viewer, it's the cocktail risk you run I suppose with mixing memory sticks, though it can be fatal
quick locust
It will not cause it
The entire system above is designed to prevent errors by sacrificing performance
You'll only be at risk if you mix memory then OC all of them
Since you'd run at least one stick above what it is validated and tested for
Hence it's better to get memory from one kit since they are tested and validated together at same cas and frequency instead of having to go down in frequency and higher cas because one stick is limiting it

Most people wont OC their memory enough for it to matter much that is true.
quick locust
yeah
quick locust
Xmp doesn't guarantee that you will be able to run at those speeds
it guarantees the kit can run at the speeds, not that the IMC can handle it
latent light
CPU overclocking doesn't go far anymore so RAM overclocking is the new meta
plain stag
Memory oc is like the least impactful way to increase your performance
Too much hassle
plain stag
it guarantees the kit can run at the speeds, not that the IMC can handle it
I know, but having like 5000 mhz kit wont guarantee you that your cpu can handle those speeds
dry pike
With all the new high end components spewing out huge amounts of watts of heat, undervolting is king 😄
plain stag
But going that high end ram isnt that beneficial
quick locust
nah, just reduce frequency rather than voltage
plain stag
Too much money spent on super high speed ram with minimal gains
When it comes to gaming ofc
quick locust
undervolting can introduce instabillity, lowering clocks does not
latent light
Over 20 years ago, you'd see a CPU being overclocked to more than double its stock speed
Nowadays you only see very marginal increases
dry pike
You might however easily be able to run your hardware at the same speed but reduce the heat produced/power used by 10% by undervolting.
latent light
CPU overclocking just isn't fun anymore because stock boosts are just so good now
plain stag
But the whole point of undervolting is to have the same speeds
quick locust
if i doubled stock frequency i'd be at fx 8350 record i think
quick locust
yeah I know, it's overclocking essentially, just other way
lowering frequency is better for stabillity though
depends if you value performance or stabillity the most i guess
latent light
If I had a 320W GPU like the RTX 3080, I'd be running an underclock and undervolt to get it under 200W
quick locust
eh depends if it actually gets too hot or not
latent light
320W GPU would heat up my room so quickly
quick locust
if it doesn't, it doesn't matter much to me
latent light
Back when I had a Fx-8350 and GTX 780, my PC heated up the whole house in just a short game session
I had that 8350 overclocked pretty high
quick locust
they did OC pretty well
though still kinda bad
lol
they still hold frequency record iirc
gtx 780 though, it's power is not that high compared to the newer cards
latent light
FX CPUs had a very low temp limit, they would throttle at around 65C lmao
quick locust
yeah
latent light
32nm node + large die made that feasible tho
quick locust
gtx 780 is around 6700xt in power consumption i think
which is midrange now
well upper mid
and 3070
latent light
Sad to hear that next-gen flagships could exceed a 400W TDP
plain stag
Well, going from like 32nm to 24nm or 16nm is much different and easier than going from 7 or 8nm to smaller nodes
The tech just isnt there yet
latent light
1000+W PSU is gonna be the go-to option for next gen high-end PCs
12th gen Intel CPUs hitting 300 watts, RTX 4090 with 400-500 watts
DDR5 always draws more watts than DDR4
plain stag
And then you have amd cpus hitting 100w
latent light
The gaming future looks very toasty
plain stag
65w if you dont oc
plain stag
Memory power usage will be negligible
latent light
1 DDR5 module consumes more power than 2 DDR4 modules
plain stag
It's still not that significant when you look at overall power usage
latent light
Afaik DDR5 is capable of running in dual channel mode with just a single DIMM
plain stag
Ddr5 won't use like 50w
So the difference between dd4 and 5 is insignificant when you look at the big picture
latent light
AMD should just make APUs with GDDR6 built-in like the 4700S
plain stag
I also highly doubt the usage between ddr4 and ddr5 is that big, since its gonna run at a lower voltage
latent light
Lower voltage doesn't mean lower power
plain stag
Pretty much every article that i skimped now suggest that power consumption will be lower
Even from official micron documentation
Power consumption will be about 20% lower
latent light
DDR5 uses higher power and creates more heat than DDR4 because they are moving the voltage regulation from the motherboard to the DDR5 modules themself
plain stag
Not according to micron documentation
plain stag
The modules itself will run at 1.1v
Thats literally how power works, lower voltage, means lower consumption
I saw that article before
The higher heat comes from having the vrm on the module as well
Instead of it being on the motherboard
That's not higher power consumption, that's just higher heat output because ram components are closer together
latent light
Yes, thus meaning DDR5 modules consume more power and create more heat since they put the VRM on the actual modules themself
plain stag
But the module itself runs at a lower voltage, hence reducing the power consumption
The vrm components are just moved to the module instead of the motherboard
latent light
DDR5 chip consumes less than a DDR4 chip but all the new hardware present on DDR5 modules is what makes them use more power and run hotter
plain stag
You need to count the memory vrm for ddr4 in that power equation as well
Just cuz they arent on the module itself, doesn't mean you just forget about them when you compare overall power consumption
Yes, they will output more heat, but thats cuz the vrm will be on the module itself, more heat because the output area is more concentrated
Dddr4 vrm modules also produce heat
But that heat is produced elsewhere
Its the same overall heat production, but instead of it being made in 2 different areas, it's on one area
plain stag
Why would micron put in their official documentation that ddr5 will use less power then
Doesn't make sense tbh
latent light
We will truly know when Alder-Lake launches
Alder-Lake will be able to use both DDR4 and DDR5, that's the most exciting part
plain stag
Beefier cooling will be required because the entire heat output is only in one area
latent light
Yeah but there's way more new things on DDR5 than just having the VRM integrated on it
plain stag
It's like having 10 phases vs 6 phases on the cpu vrm
All that consumption and heat is spread out on 10 inductors and chokes
Instead of 6
But the power consumption is the same
latent light
I'm glad DDR5 will have a better launch than DDR4
Cuz when DDR4 came out, it was awful
You only could find 2133 MHz CL17 kits
latent light
Very expensive
plain stag
Ddr5 is still in its infancy
And they will be a terrible value at first
Just like ddr4 was
latent light
There was a 32GB DDR5 4800 MHz CL40 that was being sold on Amazon for like $400
That's for the slowest 32GB kit
Nearly 3x more expensive than a decent 3200MHz DDR4 kit
plain stag
And i got a 4000 cl 18 kit for 100e
Ddr5 won't have significant speeds at first
But in like 2 years
We will get super fast low latency modules
latent light
DDR5 starts at 4800 MHz but at launch it's been confirmed there will be 6400-7200 MHz kits
plain stag
Super fast low latency relatively cheap modules*
I'm definitely not gonna spend as much money on ddr5 as a cpu costs
latent light
Also, Alder-Lake performance has already been leaked showing the difference between DDR4 and DDR5
plain stag
Eh, i dont usually belive in leaks
Until the real deal comes
That information holds no weight to me
latent light
Using old DDR4 hardly affects single-core performance on Intel 12th gen, it has a fairly large impact on multi-core performance tho
Doesn't mean that DDR4 will be very close to DDR5 in gaming
We are just a couple weeks away from Intel 12th gen announcement
quick locust
Requiring better cooling than ddr4 doesn't say too much
Since ddr4 barely needs any
latent light
Just depends on frequency
I've seen some basic OEM DDR5-4800 kits that don't have heatspreaders at all
supple bane
Since ddr4 barely needs any
this is what i had in my head but didnt know how to word it,
quick locust
that picture lol
toxic zealot
alder lake uses both ddr 4 and 5?
latent light
Yes
supple bane
a dev actually doing recommended specs right
quick locust
It'll run flex mode
dry pike
12GB RAM is odd
It's just the actual amount of RAM that is recommended for the game, not your system
it's up to you to not pick something stupid 😄
latent light
Xbox Series X|S refresh could use newer 6nm node, CPU with higher clockspeed, fully enabled GPU chip with higher clockspeed, and faster GDDR6 memory

What are some good budget mechanical keyboards?
I was looking at the Ducky Mecha SF
but don't know if I can justify the $200 CDN price tag
I would like a 65% or TKL due limited table space
storm osprey
red dragon
supple bane
Ducky keyboards arent budget keyboards lol
But my advise is dont spend a tiny amount of money. Get a semi decent one
Because i have experience with one budget keyboard that was just 50 bucks and it lured me in with its good looks
The key stabalisation was awful, the w and shift key died after just a year or two and i had a key completley disintegrate
Literally fell apart
I have a g513 carbon now, its amazing
prisma shoal
Old midrange now 1080p 30 lol
You just know when someone call 60FPS recommended in 2021, the game is gonna be dogshit
prisma shoal
Ducky keyboards arent budget keyboards lol
Not true, can get them for 100-150
prisma shoal
That is not a budget keyboard lmao
I dunno, mine is like a medium budget custom
And that was 500
supple bane
We arent talking about custom tho
prisma shoal
But yes, you can get budget for 50 too
My point is, I don't think it's wrong calling 150 a budget board either 🤷
supple bane
<50 cheap - 50 to 100 is budget - 100 to 150 midrange - 150 to 250 high end - above 250 is too much for a keyboard imo
storm osprey
150 buckeroonis is definitely not a budget keeb, the only way its not is if you are specifically talking about customs
prisma shoal
I see thanks. I know nothing about keyboards
Well
Production keyboards
Thanks for informing me
storm osprey
id say 100 is mid tier for stock keyboards
supple bane
Ive never really understood custom keyboards.
They have always just seemed like pay more for less to me
storm osprey
granted thats a bit of a weird statement because if you get a gaming keyboard you can spend 100 bucks and get objectionably poor physical quality but get more software/lights/brand reputation vs going with something like a boutique option and get a keyboard thats build like a tank
prisma shoal
id say 100 is mid tier for stock keyboards
I guess I can see this. I used to have a Leopold FC660C stock and ye it felt pretty high end when I bought that, but that was years ago.
storm osprey
thats the thing though, leopold is damn good quality for the price, but if you get a gaming keyboard you can spend 100 bucks and still get ABS laser etched keycaps
prisma shoal
Speaking of tanks, I never was able to break the Leopold FC660C
Just ended up storing it away and building a new one
Eww ABS 🤮
I just build cause it's fun, I also just love the feeling of a keyboard that weights a ton. No ratteling with lubed stabalizers, nice coiled cable with an aviation plug
I kinda want
With this cable
But I dunno, I've spent too much lately 🤷
Just bought a new PC
I also am looking into 3D printing a wireless mouse.
Would be a fun experiment.
They get them pretty lightweight in the shape you want.
But I'm pretty happy with my current mouse
storm osprey
althhough i borderline love my friends custom keyboards, i can never justify spending over 100 bucks on a keeb
prisma shoal
There are worse things to spend 100 bucks on imo.
Like people spend 100 bucks on BF
When you can get it for 14.99 🤷
Either way, I'm gonna hit the bed.

Ive never really understood custom keyboards.
Have you used a $600 custom keyboard? I thought the same way until I built my KBD Fans KBD67 MK II. The number of options out there is just amazing. What do you do if you have a Corsair KB amd it stops working? You have to send in the entire unit. Then there is me who can take my Keebs (I have 7) apart replace any individual part and be back to gaming without skipping a beat. The software (VIA) is the best by far compared to any other software.

It feels very premium. I see alot of people wearing gloves when they use their wheel. I never felt the need as you can grip the wheel really well. Shifting was smooth, and the pedals are very heavy. The bottom of the pedals have these ridges on them so they can grip the surface. If you have a wood floor, I would just get a small piece of carpet to put the pedals on, unless you having a racing sim setup.

Logitech had an issue a while back with interference, but they fixed the issue with a firmware update.

My house was built last year and have not had the time to work on my setup and get it where I want. Now that I am retired I got time and the money. lol. Next is studio monitors, a 49" UW on bottom and (2) 32" 1440p 165hz up top😀

Money is always the problem. Like, just the water cooler was around 800€

Time to get one! This pc is actually for my 6 yr old. I am ordering a new pc soon. She is one lucky girl. lol

I wait for the evga block, but they take time for no reason

That is why I went with Alphacool..the wait for EK is always crazy. Alphacool is just as good but a little cheaper. I do like the ek torque fittings though!

EK blocks are there, but i don't like the looks of them for my gpu

I know😀ya got to make them straight! When I am not wireless I use double sided tape and then cut the tape on both sides of the wire so u dont see the tape. I used a ruler to make sure the wires are straight. Crazy I know😶🌫️

Nice
I like most Silverstone cases
The RVZ ones are a bit too small for me though
Here's mine

Not much of a fan anymore. I moved on to 2020 . haha. They were some good cases though!
holy dust!

They still do some decent ones, just mostly SFF
Yeah I know, took the picture as I had opened it to clean
Well was still running but yeah

Just a few I did last year for clients.
The last pic is of direct die cooling preps. Took off the cpu lid and put the block right on the cpu die.

That's cool
Water-cooling in RV02 is a bit awkward but
Might do it eventually if I change case
prime jasper
That's cool
Right now I use direct die cooling on a 9900k. Temps are awesome. 5.2Ghz max temp 60c under load for hours.
prime jasper
I won the silicon lottery on the 9900k for sure. Only 1.25v

If you ever want a golden CPU check out Silicon Lottery.com

Yeah...little dangerous getting up there.

I don't really need to change anything about my setup
Only thing I've changed for a while was headsets
But that's cause I keep getting issues with them after a while lol
Might change from TN to VA eventually but current is decent enough
TN but still 1440 165Hz with gsync module

I got ALOT more to do. Need to drop about another 15k and I will be good.
