You’ll be playing valorant and csgo right?

Don’t you wanna know where the footsteps are coming from

Give you the edge

Over the other players

[cedar fog]

you don't need $5k of audio equipment

[twilit parcel]

i mean yes but i feel like moondrop blessing could do that just as well

[magic minnow]

You know who’s really good at Valorant; you could ask him what he uses @dull hollow

[twilit parcel]

[magic minnow]

[magic minnow]

These @twilit parcel are his number 1 for headphones

[wild coyote]

I was thinking to get DT 990 pro, but i dunno

[twilit parcel]

could i jsut get the headphones and be fine without all that other shit?

[magic minnow]

I yeah I was joking about the amp and DAC

[twilit parcel]

okay i mean $1500 is fine

its kind of fine

[magic minnow]

https://www.linsoul.com/products/harmonicdyne-zeus-elite these are really comfy too

[twilit parcel]

that takes some thinking

[magic minnow]

I own these

[twilit parcel]

these are 420

thats good

not $1800 or whatever

[cedar fog]

mm Conner

[umbral heron]

Oh, tech has been overrun with audio discussion again

[cedar fog]

[twilit parcel]

[cedar fog]

https://m.hifiman.com/products/detail/350

[twilit parcel]

i like the look of the HD 800 s

[twilit parcel]

jesus

[devout raptor]

stop giving audio recommendations

[umbral heron]

Eggymans are not bad, just... a bit weird

[wild coyote]

but fr tho, I do need a decent headsets. Dunno if DT 990 Pro are good for me or are there more options

[magic minnow]

[twilit parcel]

https://www.amazon.com/490-PRO-Plus-Professional-Headphone/dp/B0CP6B497Z

look at these

[wild coyote]

I said decent

Not high end

[twilit parcel]

okay

theyre only like 20 more?

[umbral heron]

DTs are quite okay, but suffer in top-ends and has those "hinges" that love to break

[wild coyote]

Slide me some good ones 🔥

cuz connor is gonna give me extremely pricey headsets that I do not need at all

[umbral heron]

Everyone looks like they like Audeze Maxwells
I'm going with FT1s and mic separately

[sudden steeple]

Opps,my wooting 80 HE configurations with zinc alloy case had deadly defect!My usb plug board can’t dock the interface of metal case,which is almost impossible to change the interface shape!It’s higher than that !

[twilit parcel]

MAN

someone sent me 1800 headphones

[cedar fog]

do those have swappable ears

[umbral heron]

Probably
I don't have them, so no idea

[reef patrol]

Was it preassembled?

[wild coyote]

Brother in christ, you don't have a budget like everyone

[sudden steeple]

The solid metal shape give me no option even to fix it!

[reef patrol]

Answering a question that wasn't asked is very productive

Did you put the keyboard together, or was it assembled from factory?

[sudden steeple]

Let the image illustrate!I will show u

[analog sinew]

no that does not answer the question

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/frodo-keep-your-secrets-alright-then-lotr-gif-12907121

[sudden steeple]

The usb board can’t reach the interface in metal case!its higher more!

[analog sinew]

WE KNOW

[reef patrol]

This just adds so many questions to my existing list of them.

Like why isn't the daughterboard screwed in at all.

[analog sinew]

did YOU BUILD it or DID THE FACTORY

[sudden steeple]

of course it’s all on factory!

[analog sinew]

it's not "of course" since they sell it in parts. you could've told us this 10 minutes ago when mansen asked

[sudden steeple]

Just check my package not long ago sorry for that

[gloomy linden]

Raw zinc kinda answers that question

[cedar fog]

omg it's unscrewed and misaligned from factory 😭

did you unscrew the board

[gloomy linden]

The case seems raw zinc that does not come preasembled

[sudden steeple]

Yeah just a few minutes ago

[analog sinew]

waiit

the plot thickens

[leaden kiln]

[cedar fog]

oh yeah true

[gloomy linden]

I suggest looking at the assembly videos on youtube for the zinc alloy case

[reef patrol]

This board is supposed to be screwed into the case with two screws here. If those are just missing outright, and you didn't remove them, something went wrong from the factory.

You'll have to reach out to customer support for help with this (We'd likely sense you a PCR case for the screws and a new daughterboard just in case?)

https://wooting.io/contact

---

I would not recommend trying to plug it in, if the daughterboard is just loose in the case like that.

[leaden kiln]

ain't that board just upside down

[gloomy linden]

Ah yep the daughterboard does come built in on the case, ...usually

[sudden steeple]

Tx,but it’s me who lose the screws when I found something wrong with it

[reef patrol]

Buddy...

As Mega mentions, you've got the board upside down. So that explains why the USB doesn't line up. Without the screws, you can't really safely use the board, as the connector and cables are just loosely coupled together.

[cedar fog]

out of curiosity does wooting print like "this side up" on those things

[analog sinew]

lmao

[cedar fog]

cause that would be funny

[reef patrol]

Maybe we ought to. 😄

[gloomy linden]

They will soon

[reef patrol]

If you're reading this, you done messed up

[sudden steeple]

How foolish am I !tx!

[twilit parcel]

Thanks for the help goodnight

[sudden steeple]

Love u guys!tx for help!

[magic minnow]

My new gaming cpu https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/threadripper-9000-cpus-spotted-with-16-to-96-zen-5-cores-shimada-peak-expected-to-max-out-at-350w

[wild coyote]

I summon those who love headsets to give me recommendations less than 160 euros Finnish markets if possible 🙏

[magic minnow]

iems or only headsets?

[analog sinew]

when threadripper v3d

[leaden kiln]

headset as in overears with mic?

[wild coyote]

Headsets cuz I got IEM's

[magic minnow]

9950X3D Ripper

[wild coyote]

I'm planning to get a new mic anyways

[leaden kiln]

so just headphones

[wild coyote]

so it won't matter if there are mics or not

[magic minnow]

https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-JT1-Professional-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B0CLZRWF8H

[wild coyote]

xd, sadly it won't ship to Finland through Amazon

89 euros 😭

[leaden kiln]

I haven't personally used them, but am planning on getting them, hifiman he400se seems like a good pair, they are openbacks though

[wild coyote]

As long as I don't need to deal with softwares cough cough razer then W

[digital cliff]

senny HD560S if you can stretch the budget

[wild coyote]

191

[digital cliff]

actually https://www.thomann.de/fi/sennheiser_hd_560s.htm

[leaden kiln]

you probably don't wanna get openbacks if you live in a noisy environment or want to block out pc fans etc

[digital cliff]

if you don't buy from scam-o-kauppa it fits your budget

[wild coyote]

I got 2 GPUs and one of em gets loud

[analog sinew]

is that a real store

[wild coyote]

xd, the store is called verkkokauppa

known to be pricey somewhat

I actually had a decent experience with a outlet gaming monitor

[leaden kiln]

maybe look for closed backs then, if you mind the noise

[wild coyote]

with the warranty

[wild coyote]

Indeed

[analog sinew]

ah :D

[digital cliff]

their slogan is "most likely, we're cheaper" which is funny because they are not cheaper, they are usually on the more expensive side

[wild coyote]

[wild coyote]

Their warranty is pretty decent compared to gigantti

[digital cliff]

I don't know about that, I've only ever had bad warranty experiences with vendors

nobody wants to cover the cost so they always try to scam you and claim it's out-of-warranty damage or that "issue could not be reproduced"

[wild coyote]

Actually for me, I just showed the problem and they gave me a new monitor

[reef patrol]

GIGANTTI!

Makes it sound like a Harry Potter esque spell.

[digital cliff]

you guys know it as elgiganten

or is that sweden

[reef patrol]

It's all of Scandinavia yeah. I think Iceland also has a funni nam

Used to be a decent place to shop for hardware. But these days they don't sell any anymore, and they love trying to upsell you on useless insurance policies and TV "tuning" (aka. my colleague has to plug in their iPad to the TV for 2 minutes, that'll be 100$ please)

[wild coyote]

I've had bad experience from gigantti

[digital cliff]

me too, I don't shop there anymore

they are good if I need a random adapter on a friday night, I can probably just drive there and pick it up but outside of that, completely worthless to me

[leaden kiln]

last thing I bought there was my old phone
tried to upsell me on a like 60 dollar screen protector

[quaint dew]

beyers are not good

insanely shrill treble

[gusty nexus]

Fiio FT1

[scenic thunder]

I tried a pair of these and they sounded really nice, and were shockingly comfy. my only concern was build quality, but that's to be expected at that price point.

For 60/70$ they're a great buy, even better if on sale

[magic minnow]

Yeah the YouTuber I like recommends them in the budget category

[scenic thunder]

if you have a big head, just be wary of the hinges

it felt like the point it would break is when putting them on and slightly over stressing the attachment points to the headphones

[wild coyote]

Tryna find one that's below 160 and I can't find it. I'd need to look on other nordic online stores which I hardly know

[vagrant oyster]

what mouse should i get alongside wooting 60he?

[quaint dew]

depends on grip, budget, country, and hand size

[vagrant oyster]

fingertip grip, up to 120$, saudi arabia, idk how to measure my handsize lmfao

[distant tapir]

https://etnews.com/20241122000212

500 Hz 27 inch 1440p QD-oled.

[quaint dew]

480 > 500 lol

have we peaked

[distant tapir]

We're probably not very far off from 1 000 Hz oleds.

[vapid ruin]

can't wait for 1000hz

[charred nexus]

Ah yes the best pixel out of all

I still love this thing

[halcyon moss]

I liked my pixel 2xl

[charred nexus]

I own 2 XL, 3 XL, 4 XL, 7 Pro and 8 Pro 4 is probably my fav

It still got the squeeze for assistant thing, and got face recognition that works in the dark

And the colored power button is such an eye catcher

[halcyon moss]

I also like my s21u 😉

[charred nexus]

It have so many wrong and bad about it but I like it

[charred nexus]

I don’t like OneUI as much as Pixel’s

[halcyon moss]

It's has its pros

And very few cons for me.

[charred nexus]

btw guys I have a new mouse

[charred nexus]

I have tried OneUI, it was good, but I don’t find it very fun to use. Idk it’s just so corporate idk

I actually like Samsung Experience better than OneUI

[wheat plume]

😍 ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

I must find this icon pack :O

[analog sinew]

kids variant

[charred nexus]

It looks like kids mode one like OneUI or soemthing

[leaden kiln]

I love blue shell

Hated my pixel 6a but first gen was awesome

[charred nexus]

Transparent blue shell pink dot hell yeah

[leaden kiln]

goat

[charred nexus]

I didn't have the OG pixel but I wish I did, I love the 6p and didn't get the gen 1 Pixel cuz the 6p hasn't died yet

[leaden kiln]

R u cleaning the shell or why did you take it apart

[charred nexus]

The 6a is pretty meh, it has the gen 1 tensor

[charred nexus]

Yeah, cleaning the shell cuz it's a finalmouse ulx aceu of course it has shit stains on the shell after a few months of use

[leaden kiln]

my tarik looks ok still

[leaden kiln]

was fast enough for me but their software was so ass and buggy

[charred nexus]

I think if I didn't use a black sleeve and I put it in a black bag for traveling it should have been so dirty

[charred nexus]

Nah Pixel softwares are good wdym

[leaden kiln]

I liked it on my first one
way too buggy on my 6a
discovering new ones almost daily

[charred nexus]

Its less buggy than my iPhone 15 PM

[leaden kiln]

on samsung now but was thinking of going iphone, ios my fav but I decided to try a foldable

[charred nexus]

I tried a Fold 3 for like 3 months, like the idea but too small for it to be useful (and the aspect ratio I forgot about that one) and not that many apps are optimized for the big screen

I want a Pixel Fold but it's hella expensive and hard to get

[leaden kiln]

I'm on a fold 3 too
pixel fold lives in my nightmares, goggles software plus app issues 😬

[charred nexus]

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold look promising but the aspect ration still bugs me

[charred nexus]

lol I haven't used it so idk about that but I like the aspect ratio of it, more wide screen than a square-ish one

The Huawei one seems cool but Huawei software plus tons of "Huaweiness" don't seem to be worth a try

[leaden kiln]

I like the 4:3 but I could definitely see people wanting other aspect ratios

[charred nexus]

4:3 is fine, when I was using the fold 3, looking at documents and scrolling on websites is a good experience. But when it comes to video it's not much bigger than my iPhone which makes it less desirable to keep in my pocket

Plus the weight (or thickness) and the fact that I keep two phones in my pocket it kinda drives me away from maining a fold and a slab phone

[leaden kiln]

I thought the thickness would be bad but I don't mind at all
Even have a fat case on it, I don't have to carry a work phone in addition to it though, maybe that would make it worse

[charred nexus]

I don't really mind the thickness if I didn't have another phone to carry

[leaden kiln]

damn fold 3 weighs 271 grams
more than my vr headset 👴

[analog sinew]

but it folds guys!!

[leaden kiln]

ones that aren't 3 years old won't be as heavy
Definitely not for everyone, I like mine though

[deft raptor]

Got SN770 to work, turns out smart self-test doesn't get cancelled when you exit the bios screen after starting it

However, SN770 could crash with some workloads like ZFS or BTRFS filesystems

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-fold-galaxy-fold-samsung-gif-16864903

[charred nexus]

iPhone 6 Plus also folds

[unkempt lake]

I have a 770 never had issues

[deft raptor]

Yeah, dunno how. Plus, I noticed my cpu was quite close to overheating and 5700x3d is stuck in Canada Post, so I cannot upgrade with a better heatsink yet
Now, I am not crashing anymore.

[cursive summit]

@ashen spindle yes I know you hate wccftech, but this isn't that bad of an article https://wccftech.com/valve-proton-experimental-update-nvidia-dlss-3-various-game-enhancements-steam/

Nvidia on Deckard eh?

[bright briar]

i can confirm this

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/_5Shgl18bxU

This dont work on the Pixel 8A...but it does on the other Pixel 8s....

that mean it wont work on the 9A when that releases?!

[leaden kiln]

2 pairs of buds2 pros
just like me

[wheat plume]

Yeah, he had to buy them just for this video 😅 cause he didnt have any compatible earbuds already

[desert linden]

is the Wooting Alumaze60 just white coming with the band?

[analog sinew]

the alumaze comes with a black/white strap.

[old marlin]

Or steam just trying to make Linux and steam os viable to regular consumers

They make money with their marketplace either way

[cursive summit]

Ah right SteamOS is now generally available innit?

I think I remember reading something about that

[analog sinew]

wasnt it for a long time already

[cursive summit]

That one was unofficial

Though I still don't see why you'd subject yourself to Linux but hey more power to all the tweakers

[analog sinew]

ah

[old marlin]

New one still isn't fully afaik?

[old marlin]

Makes a lot of sense for handheld atm

Windows just ain't made for that

[cursive summit]

Can you gamepass on SteamOS?

[crimson wigeon]

Windows could be made for that... if MS properly supported custom shells

And no, except for the game pass games that don't require using that Xbox monstrosity. Those might work..

[old marlin]

You'd basically need an "xboxified" windows lol

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah see and they basically already have most of it done

Just let normal Desktop Windows use the Xbox shell

[old marlin]

Yea until that is happening, and it's unlikely, linux is the better choice for that

[wheat plume]

Besides
Most people don't wanna play online multiplayer games using a controller and tiny display

Especially against PC gamers playing with kb&m and 4k monitors

[umbral heron]

It would be funny
People installing lite version of Windows made for handhelds on PCs just to get rid of as much of MS crap as possible

[cedar fog]

I sure would

especially with this screenshot shit they're doing

[analog sinew]

who woulda thunk

[wheat plume]

Hmmm?

[analog sinew]

recall

that ai spybot

[wheat plume]

Ah yes

[cedar fog]

it's fucking awful

[umbral heron]

Just make Windows 7 2.0 and people are happy

[wheat plume]

Yep .-.
Surely it's gonna get banned in EU?
Surely it's again GDPR?!

[umbral heron]

I wish AI bubble would burst already

they're using the ai buzz word to collect more data

[hoary jackal]

How long did the crypto mining phase last?

afaik that it'll be encrypted and stored locally, so will possibly work in EU too

[umbral heron]

Time to buy another monitor

[wheat plume]

OwO ?

[hoary jackal]

OLED is da best

[umbral heron]

No, 1080p60 IPS for work

[hoary jackal]

Ohhhh my bad

That’s good too

[umbral heron]

I already have my 1440p280 for games
But one more for work would be useful

[wheat plume]

Would 16:10 be better for work?

It's taller

[gusty kiln]

super ultra wide

triple excel/documents next to each other

[umbral heron]

I have source of very cheap monitors that being ones that they replace at my job

[hoary jackal]

@distant tapir

[gusty kiln]

triple portrait 1080p

[hoary jackal]

I have same exact specs

[distant tapir]

Yeah?

[hoary jackal]

Idk hi

[distant tapir]

Hi

[umbral heron]

That's the goal

[gusty kiln]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-yvakLCwbz4/maxresdefault.jpg

That’s a lot of monitors

[distant tapir]

That would be so distracting.

[hoary jackal]

True

[wheat plume]

...I want grapes now

[umbral heron]

Already have 3
But one is for IDE and terminal, second one is for browser, and third one for Discord, music player, and file manager
I need at least one more for VM

[balmy vector]

Mission Control setup

[distant tapir]

I really like having only one monitor. Had 3 at some point but I feel so free now.

[hoary jackal]

Presidential monitor setup

[wheat plume]

I only have one now also
Cause I can't use my dual monitor arm on this desk .-.

Once I have a better desk without a back panel I'll go back to two

[hoary jackal]

Same I think 1 or 2 monitors is good enough

[umbral heron]

I need to make some space on the desk
I have bench power supply, soldering station and stack of controllers there

[hoary jackal]

But I guess if ur busy person u might need more 🤷‍♂️

[distant tapir]

Having two is very useful if you play Runescape.

But for me I don't really need more than 1 anymore.

[hoary jackal]

Yikes I grew up playing Fortnite 🥶

[magic minnow]

5 nights at wooting

[umbral heron]

Just that I don't have cameras

[gusty kiln]

I hope they make a miniled dual-hz monitor in the future

https://www.wsgf.org/f/u/imagecache/article_limit/Efoptions.png

[umbral heron]

Maybe go for 3x2

[gusty kiln]

dedicated youtube, discord, windows explorer, chrome, resource monitor, music

[umbral heron]

Also, it turns out my GPU undervolts really well

[hoary jackal]

Goated setup

I really want a new chair but that's hard when I'm broke.

I want a Steelcase but they are not possible to get in my country.

[distant tapir]

I had that a few years ago but didn't like it.

[hoary jackal]

Then I reliased I broke as shit

[hoary jackal]

Dang actually

[distant tapir]

One thing that is important to mention for the Aeron is that it is VERY HARD.

I want something soft and comfy.

[hoary jackal]

Dang rip

[hoary jackal]

Same tbh

But idk really much about chair

S

[gusty kiln]

which country?

[distant tapir]

I also think the Aeron I got was a size smaller than what I should have gotten. I followed the official height guide but it felt slightly small.

[distant tapir]

Norway.

[hoary jackal]

How tall r u

[distant tapir]

184 cm

[hoary jackal]

Bruh if it felt small for u it feel Tiny for me

surely that has pwm no?

[vapid ruin]

As an AI language model, I am designed to be unhelpfully helpful as possibe.

[magic minnow]

It does but it would start my fan really high on boot

[quaint dew]

and then turn it down immediately after?

shame

Can't say the same about their keyboards though

[leaden kiln]

Seems like a great mouse if you don't mind wired
I liked the shape

[cursive summit]

No "grip pads" which wear out, so you can add your own on the sides, so the mouse is actually durable lol

Unlike all the razer shit

hey guys i want to order the optimum case and some cables to go with it, but it says it wont get here till march. does that apply for everything in an order even if some items are availible now?

[reef patrol]

Yes.

[tall wasp]

ok thanks

[umbral heron]

Okay, looks like DVI-DP cables I'm going to need for monitors I grabbed from work will be more expensive than monitors themselves

[halcyon moss]

wat? your video card doesnt have enough dp ports?

[analog sinew]

i have just the thing

[halcyon moss]

hdmi is dvi* so that only requires a passive converter

[analog sinew]

pcie to dvi

xD

[fair gull]

i wanna see that asterisks explained cause hdmi is dvi is definitely not correct on its own

[umbral heron]

Monitors only have DVI-D and VGA

[deft raptor]

I am sure recent dell monitors already got DP ports by now

Even for business/office use

[umbral heron]

Those are very old, but still good IPS
I bought them back for 5€ a piece

[halcyon moss]

the video signal is dvi

[fair gull]

only in a backwards compatible mode

[fair gull]

those sadly suck so hard for anything thats not excel/word

[umbral heron]

Also also - how much should I undervolt the GPU?

[crimson wigeon]

As much as you can while keeping it stable

[analog sinew]

of course lol :D

[analog sinew]

100%

[umbral heron]

I got to -115mV, ran Unigine and CP2077 benchmarks on maxed out several times and it didn't crash
It did crash at -125mV when starting any 3D app though

[halcyon moss]

so 115 is your safe undervolt it seems!

thats quite a bit

[umbral heron]

Just wish that coil whine would be a bit... less

[quaint dew]

what card is it?

[umbral heron]

7900xtx Phantom

[halcyon moss]

fan noise is one thing.. but coilwhine is piercing

[ashen spindle]

I mean you could try and find out which parts it’s coming from and apply some glue so it vibrates less

I mean if you get them from menus with 800fps that don’t get capped sure

Im not capping my frame since game when thats what I pay for specifically with a high end gpu lol

[trim crane]

which device did you undervolt? GPU or CPU? which?

[umbral heron]

GPU
For CPU I only enabled PBO

[reef patrol]

Tsk tsk

Undervolting CPU is king

[old marlin]

uhh yea about that

new gen monitors can barely run wired

the "next gen" WOLED panels from LG will require DSC atm

[rough osprey]

im no dsc hater

[old marlin]

raw they would require 100Gbit/s

[old marlin]

yea but gl transferring that wirelessly

[rough osprey]

yup

[old marlin]

even with DSC you have more than what you can do atm

[rough osprey]

whats next gen

like 600hz?

[old marlin]

unless you got direct line of sight

[old marlin]

4k UW 240hz 10bit

is the new flagship one

[rough osprey]

hmm

[old marlin]

mind you this is just WOLED panels not LCDs

[rough osprey]

for da story gamers

[old marlin]

technically OLED is better for comp as well

if they manage to dial it in right

[rough osprey]

nah but 240hz

damn they need a long time for rgb layout

is it still called woled then

[old marlin]

it might be for marketing?

but technically would not be WOLED

[rough osprey]

welcome back joled

[wheat plume]

Plasma 6 edit mode is so awful when you need to add and rearrange widgets on a panel

5120x2160 is something I'd love to have. I watch a lot of movies that are in 21:9.

[distant tapir]

No. Because it doesn't use a white subpixel.

[old marlin]

as someone with an AW3423DW it seems like an awesome size

though I would prob upgrade my GPU from a measley 3080ti first

[rough osprey]

ye but would lg really change the name

[old marlin]

it's in their WOLED timeline but

[distant tapir]

Yes. Of course.

[rough osprey]

we will see ig

[distant tapir]

They don't really market their woleds as woled, just oled.

[distant tapir]

I'd like a 5070 Ti but I fear it's far out of my budget.

[cursive summit]

Isn't framegen like 500mbs?

In Stalker 2 DLSS-FG is like +500mb of VRAM

[reef patrol]

Someone showed an example the other day, where it ate up 2GB

[cursive summit]

I think you are misremembering

https://noctua.at/en/noctua-and-seasonic-introduce-ultra-quiet-1600w-power-supply

[cursive summit]

So it's basically just Seasonic?

I never liked Noctua's fans, they look iffy

[analog sinew]

idk why the price is double lol

[cursive summit]

Also Thermalright just seems better in raw performance and they don't look weird

[umbral heron]

Looks like shit still

[cursive summit]

I was going to agree with you until you said that

Noctua has lost their performance leadership lel

All they have is just good customer support for all that matters

There's alternatives that are better for 3 times cheaper

Noctua is only good if you are going for warranty and support

It's not like they are even reliable, with the whole was it ball bearing fiasco?

Fans were making sounds and it was like 1% of all units for the 140$ new tower cooler they made

Which is why I can only give them points for support

They don't come on top in performance, their pricing is borderline a robbery, prone to reliability issues it seems, but if you want quiet systems and good support I guess, they are alright

[fair gull]

so... are doors on or off when they are closed

[gusty kiln]

Ehhh not really especially at higher rpm, they are still better at noise. It's just up to about 1500 rpm where others are better value at the same performance

[cursive summit]

I never understood the shilling of Noctua, never will

[sudden imp]

[cursive summit]

With what product does Noctua have a performance benefit over Thermalright?

Their fans are worse, the new supertower performs worse

And their pricing is 4x the price

I can't find such product, is it NF-F12?

Noctua NF-F12 PWM I guess?

Seems relatively new

[gusty kiln]

G2 with offset is still the king of air cooler

[distant tapir]

I have 3 Noctua fans. Had them for a while now. They will probably last until the next decade. Whenever I get a new build I just reuse them. I really like them.

[cursive summit]

[gusty kiln]

Hardware Canucks, they are the only ones who tests both intel and AMD

Some coolers like bequiet are great on intel but shit on AMD

[umbral heron]

How about X3D?

[gusty kiln]

Same as the non x3d

But even better cuz x3d are easier to cool

[umbral heron]

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised because on my cooler it got 84C or so at max

32 inch at 4k is great but not at 1440p

[cursive summit]

Wait that's a QD-OLED display, best you can get

For 500 euros that's a steal

Ah that's the catch, HDR 400, meh I don't even like HDR that much

Incredible panel though, Freesync Premium Pro, great brightness, QD-OLED, good size

[gusty kiln]

If only vrr flicker didn't exist

[cursive summit]

And the fact it's 1440p imo works better because my 32" is just too big for me, and you don't want 4K cause that shit runs like ass

1440p 27" is what I have, and pixel density is great

[gusty kiln]

I'm waiting for a miniled dual-hz monitor

[latent mural]

Hey guys I have a question regarding RAM. Should I keep some CL 16 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM or should I upgrade to a higher speed but higher latency with DDR5 instead of DDR4 for RAM?

Is DDR4 good enough still if I were to upgrade to an AMD "9800X3D?"

[cursive summit]

Defo waiting for miniled, burn in is no joke and I've no interest in OLED that much either

[gusty kiln]

Basically an ips version of 32GS95UE-B

[steady sail]

ddr4 is out of question

[cursive summit]

You'll be buying DDR5 anyways, DDR4 is not a thing on Zen 5

Wishful thinking though, I wish that were the case

So if I currently am still using Intel 10th Gen for a processor, do you recommend me to upgrade the processor and change the RAM, or you think I will be OK with keeping the RAM? I had some Trident Z Royals CL16 3200MHz and was wondering if I should just continue on to use it or not.

[reef patrol]

UW is bae. I can have Discord on one half with Chrome on the other. Maximum productivity without having to spin my head around for a second monitor.

[gusty kiln]

[distant tapir]

This is completely untrue.

[latent mural]

Thanks, so maybe better idea I should just keep them?

[distant tapir]

Completely depends on how close you sit to the display.

[analog sinew]

yes

[distant tapir]

4k at 32 inches with my viewing distance is quite visibly imperfect.

[gusty kiln]

I would definitely prefer 32 at 4k

[distant tapir]

I'm at an arms length distance, but sometimes I lean in closer or back further. But arms length is my reference. Finger only a few cm away from touching the screen when I stretch my arm out.

It is not pointless.

It depends on the viewing distance... I 100% can distinguish them.

Have people reviewed the anti flicker on that monitor?

Also I think someone got a dud of that monitor

@north tide

If asus can pull off a nice fps limiter algorithm to counter vrr flicker, then I might consider

[north tide]

The anti flicker was crap, i would not consider the VRR to be usable and an asus firmware bug which has been around for years on their oled monitors (multiple gens) bricked the monitor on day 12

[gusty kiln]

Damn, rip

Thanks for beta testing for us

[north tide]

👌🏻

thought it'd be okay as it's like third gen

but no lol

[cursive summit]

This is the correct mindset

24" is where 1080p somewhat starts to fall apart, 32" is where 1440p starts to fall apart

Can't imagine going for more than 55" on a 4K, that's 8K territory

27" will always be my preferred display size for comfortable viewing, and with that I'll always run 1440p cause the pixel density is still very good

[distant tapir]

Remember when TVs were 32 inches?

[cursive summit]

My parents family have TVs smaller than 32

Some of them are still 720p

[compact relic]

Makes sense since both are ~92ppi at that point

[cursive summit]

Are they the same ppi?

Cause I have a Samsung 23.5" FHD and an LG 1440p 31.5"

I kind of hate both of them in a way lol, compared to my wonderful 27" QHD NanoIPS, but the LG is far nicer looking than the Samsung

Same technology on both Samsung and LG, shitty cheap VA, LG looks better in terms of clarity

[compact relic]

1920x1080 at 24" is the same ppi as 2560x1440 at 32"

Both 91.79

[cursive summit]

Basically the same

Dunno the 23.5" 1080p feels far inferior to a 31.5" 1440p

[cursive summit]

And I hate the big size of the 31.5"

Maybe it's just the difference in QHD and FHD somehow

Or the panels are different enough

[compact relic]

Could be the panel type

And ofc bigger feels better at same ppi

[cursive summit]

Yeah it's prolly that

But yeah my 27" is great, 1440p supremacy

I wish they made a miniled 27" in QHD at 16:10 aspect ratio

I'll never relent, give me 16:10 not this weird ultrawide shit

[tiny tree]

what intel is the best cpu?

what cpu und gpu should i buy if i want 240fps with no stutters in fortnite?

best cpu atm is amd 9800x3d

[tiny tree]

okey

[tiny tree]

?

together like 1200euros max

like mediuem settings

medium

i want a nvdia if its possible

geforce gpu

ou okey

[ashen spindle]

thatll cost more for the same in the lower budget usually but a 4070 would be around the same area

[tiny tree]

so 4070 and a 7800x3ds would be good for games?

like 240fps

thanks for that im thinking about that,i need to look how much it is

im buying an readypc because i cant build an pc and dont have that much time yk=

[cursive summit]

On budget you should typically buy AMD though

Though 1200 euros you can work around with, 4070s are like 500 euros nominally, if you get lucky you get a Super

CPU? 200ish, mobo about 150, RAM is also about 110ish, that's 460 euros and around a grand already

Good PSUs are about 80 euros, good cases are around that too, that's 160

[marsh pewter]

I would build it yourself

prebuilts usually up-charge quite a bit

[cursive summit]

It's doable to make a good rig for 1200 euros AS LONG AS YOU DIY

You will get a horrible product if you buy prebuilt

[tiny tree]

okey

[cursive summit]

Prolly not even a 16GB 4060Ti for that price, they'll peddle the 8GB 4060 for 1200euros

[ashen spindle]

nah you can get good prebuilts if you are fine wiht paying more and it means you have their support fix things for you if you cant/dont want to deal with it

Meh R5 9600X will do fine

[gusty kiln]

Still over 500fps from performance to low

[tiny tree]

is intel good?

[gusty kiln]

7600 for even cheaper

[gusty kiln]

Not at the moment

[tiny tree]

okey

[cursive summit]

7600X and 9600 are not all that differently priced

[tiny tree]

so amd is better?

[gusty kiln]

7600 non x?

[cursive summit]

AMD is nowadays better cause they don't break on you

[tiny tree]

okey

which amd should i buy? with 4070

or 4070super

[cursive summit]

https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/qQdD2x

I updated it then

[tiny tree]

okey thanks

[cursive summit]

Sounds like a bit of a sidegrade over 14600K but you will not be on a dead platform

If AMD releases a new CPU in 2 years from now, you'll be able to buy that and upgrade directly with no additional purchases needed

[gusty kiln]

I wouldn't choose that ssd for a boot drive

[cursive summit]

Unlike Intel

[cursive summit]

It's fine, we talked about it like a year back

[analog sinew]

intel is automatically on a dead platform

they make more sockets every month

[cursive summit]

Although SN850X is around the same price so

I'd rather buy WD over Crucial

[gusty kiln]

I rather just spend a few more bucks for something with higher TBW

That crucial tbw is one of the lowest

[cursive summit]

https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/jNp29C, fine, updated

Now with 850X, can downgrade to SN770 and it'll be again 1800 on the dot somewhat

[worthy cosmos]

Guys I got 2.5k euros aside
I'm ready for a build

[cursive summit]

2.5k is a 4080 super or if you're lucky a 4090 build

Though 4090s have been like 1800 euros or more lately so bleh

[worthy cosmos]

[cursive summit]

Just get a 9800X3D and 4080 Super, 48GBs of fastest RAM you can get, it'll be fine

There's a new motherboard I read about from Giggy, I think X870 Aorus Elite that's like "perfect in every way"

[worthy cosmos]

Mhhhh "perfect"

[cursive summit]

Though it was expensive

[gusty kiln]

I like the nova wifi from asrock

[cursive summit]

I forget what I read, it was defo a Jiggy product

[worthy cosmos]

He forgor

[distant tapir]

I will have around 1 900 euro for my build. Aiming for maybe a 5070 and 9800X3D.

[cursive summit]

https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/10860/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi7-motherboard/index.html

Yeah it was this

[gusty kiln]

B650e taichi lite

[worthy cosmos]

But damn i could pull some spice

[cursive summit]

Damn that's not even that expensive, 280 USD for that

[gusty kiln]

Regular x870 is a glorified b650e

[cursive summit]

Though I'm still confused by wtf is a wifi7

I'm yet to care about wifi6

Why we just jumping gens on wifi, speeds on fiber are still the same

[gusty kiln]

Need to penetrate the walls better

[worthy cosmos]

So 9800x3d 4080 super and 48gbs ram
Tho how much power for the psu 💀

[steady sail]

atleast a 1000

[cursive summit]

850W is a safe value

[ashen spindle]

750w is enough or 850 there

[cursive summit]

4090 can run on 550W iirc

[gusty kiln]

Could get away with 750 on a high quality unit

[cursive summit]

Just get a normal Gold 850W, it'll be fine

I've bought an 750W Gold PSU recently that was heavily discounted, think it was an Asus ATX 3.0, incredibly quiet PSU

Oh and since it's Nvidia it should have the stupid ass cable inside, so check whatever PSU you're buying to include that PCIE 12pin thing

Or was it 14.. 16pin?

The deranged connector that Nvidia peddles

[gusty kiln]

The new one should be fine 2x6

Or whatever

I'll be honest, 12vhr doesn't have the same big dick energy as triple 8-pins

[worthy cosmos]

Mhh found an rm850x for 127€

[cursive summit]

Is it ATX 3.0?

[worthy cosmos]

3.1

[cursive summit]

That's damn good then

[worthy cosmos]

Poggers?

Was 171 before

[cursive summit]

From what I've read ATX 3.0 matters more than all the 80+ certifications

It's just a new more efficient standard

[worthy cosmos]

[gusty kiln]

Can't wait for my little nas server to come

Install unraid on it

[cursive summit]

Wait, did they do this change just cause of the 4090 cable fires?

[steady sail]

idk im still on a non atx 3.0/3.1 psu

[cursive summit]

That whole burning cable situation was so funny a few years back

[steady sail]

and i kinda dont wanna upgrade my PSU just for that

[fickle ore]

Still waiting on cybenetics diamond tier PSU ;_;

[cursive summit]

I'm on ATX 3.0 on a shitty 6 year old GPU and it's really damn nice

Very quiet PSU

[steady sail]

i dont think that im gonna change this PSU for a few years

[cursive summit]

That's the real devil innit?

The 24pin is kinda nuts, old as hell as well

[gusty kiln]

The noctua one, it is time

[steady sail]

tho im kinda want a new gpu

[cursive summit]

Maybe PCIe will have a revision one day where we can finally ditch all the cables and just feed the GPU through PCIe with enough power to fuel a 4090

I still have a cableless GTX 1050Ti that just sits cozily in a slot

That 1050Ti that still runs to this day is still cozy though

[gusty kiln]

Or maybe amd releases a more power efficient and cheaper 7900xtx

[cursive summit]

Rumours kinda speak only around 7900XT performance though

[steady sail]

40 series gpu's are soo hecking overpriced

[cursive summit]

Though tbf we are just about to get Battlemage in December

Maybe Intel will pull off a miracle..

(that was part sarcastic)

[rough patrol]

Surely

I just want a gpu for an ok price

[cursive summit]

No? It's launching in a few weeks

[rough patrol]

So i can play all the new games i want to play on max settings and all that

[cursive summit]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/intel-arc-b580-battlemage-gpu-specs-leaked-in-accidental-retailer-listing-arc-b580-features-pcie-5-0-x8-interface-12gb-gddr6-and-192-bit-memory-interface

If these are around.. 300 euros?

And performance is maybe around a 7800XT/GRE

Honestly.,. I'd be maybe a bit tempted

[rough patrol]

[tiny tree]

yo vex

https://www.mifcom.de/kickass-deal-r7-7800x3d-rtx-4070-white-edt-id21726?configurator

is this pc good?

[cursive summit]

What the fuck is that link

I don't trust anything due to phishing

[rough patrol]

Doing the reverse from what you might have done a few years ago

[tiny tree]

you dont know mifcom?

[rough patrol]

And cpu and intel gpu

[cursive summit]

Mifcom sounds suspiciously like milfcom

[rough patrol]

[tiny tree]

hahahaa

it has 4070 and ryzen 7700x

[cursive summit]

What price

[tiny tree]

1800

with all stuff

[cursive summit]

Uhh, nah

You are getting scammed on the GPU

For 1800 euros I'd expect a 4070 Ti Super minimum

If optimized you can even aim for a 4080 Super

[tiny tree]

but with all? like housing etcv

idk my english is bad

but i want this specific one

[cursive summit]

I did send you a partpicker link that already has a build with really good components that totals 1800 euros

[tiny tree]

but i need to build it by my own

[cursive summit]

It's not that hard you know

One evening's work

[tiny tree]

and has now windows

[tiny tree]

but im really dumb haha

[cursive summit]

Watch a Linus Tech Tips tutorial

[rough patrol]

There‘s a pov video on linus tech tips that shows you the entire build process

[tiny tree]

yea but not that much or? like 100euros

[steady sail]

okay chat question, upgrading from a 6700 xt to a 7800 XT it is worth it

[cursive summit]

No

[rough patrol]

And like 2 entire detailed full guides

[cursive summit]

What price is the 7800XT

If it's around 500 just get the GRE

I've seen some cheaper 7800XT's in mid-400s which are an okay buy tbf

6800XT is a better card though

Yeah rn with CES just around the corner I'd wait to see what AMD is doing with their mid-range cards, typically they are really strong and well priced

[twin anchor]

hello

[cursive summit]

Nvidia is also.. cooking, or existing is the better word cause they've stopped cooking since GTX 1080Ti

[steady sail]

all prices i list is the cheapest soo 7900 XTX cost 904 euro from 2nd hand
7900GRE 620 euro, 7800 XT 510 euro

[cursive summit]

Country?

[steady sail]

Hungary

[twin anchor]

does anyone know if wooting gives out their 3D model of the 60HE? i'm doing client work related to wooting and don't have it

[marsh pewter]

it’s on their github
