My only one issue with oled still is the burn ins

So idk

#

Sure warranty for burn ins is there but still

whole axle
#

Eh they kinda useless

#

3 yr warranty. Burn in happens around 4 or 5 years

#

Then again so much anti burn in it’ll be fine

astral haven
#

burn in can happen in a year if you use it wrong enough

whole axle
#

True

#

I have all my monitors to turn off after like 3 min so whatever

Mine shows me a little message to refresh it since I’ve been gaming for 2 hours

Pretty cool Ngl

Would be a shame if all this coffee spilled onto motherboard SwitchyConfused

halcyon moss
#

from a plastic cup?

reef patrol
#

I'm not sure the material of the cup matters much to the concept of spilling coffee on the motherboard

thick elk
#

What does matter is that the motherboard is not plugged in, so if it happens, it should be entirely fixable.

fair gull
#

yesnt

reef patrol
#

So much work to clean out that stuff.

fair gull
#

coffe (if i recall right) is slightly acidic so it would still cause damage and prob make it corrode over time

thick elk
#

Over time being the key word here, but yea.

umbral heron
#

Consider the following: coffee in CPU socket hanaSit

I'd rather put the coffee in my mouth

the tubes are too long

i have my friend optimum with me so no stress

Mhmm. It's not easy working with small cases. Sometimes you gotta go custom.

His CPU is fine for his GPU

#

do you think this is a good pc? Or will there be problems?

frozen ingot
#

looks alright to me

rough patrol
#

Build it yourself and use the savings to get a 7800X3D or a 9800X3D instead

lament orbit
rough patrol
#

Just follow a guide on youtube or something and you‘ll be fine

frozen ingot
#

its really not that complicated, just take it nice and slow one step at a time

#

ignore the temptation of getting it running asap and take your time to do it right

rough patrol
#

Also pro tip dont do it while you have allergy rashes like i did last time

#

(Wasnt fun)

lament orbit
#

IkIk, but the pc I built always had unclear problems, like when I inserted a Display Port cable the pc wont run (not even Bios), he was always crashing and freezing too, he randomly didnt want to start up and so on like the pc is haunted,
That means I am haunted, I wont touch a pc anymore but thanks for the advices

halcyon moss
#

if you dont trust yourself, let someone else build it.
and that can be a store

rough patrol
#

Anyway, i would still highly highly recommend a X3D chip

lament orbit
#

whats the difference?

rough patrol
#

It‘s so good for gaming i cannot overstate it

disassembling a whole pc and slapping it into a new one while actually doing cable management once in my life

rough patrol
#

I mean

#

Case swap is not that far from building from scratch

#

ive only ever bult full systems maybe 2 times total, this making my 3rd time doing it

With experience comes speed

i maybe couldve done it in 3 if i werent disassembling a desktop

#

I love building from scratch

dull hollow
#

feels like building a whole new system

#
  • new case is refreshing
balmy vector
#

Gonna be fun building for my bf when u get the extra parts i need

rough patrol
#

I did a whole rebuild when i got my new gpu and case

#

Very happy with it now

dull hollow
#

my gpu fits with an intake fan now :D

rough patrol
#

I can actually put my rad at the top :D

#

And put the front panel on too

frozen ingot
#

took me little under 3 hrs to assemble my current rig and getting all the cabling etc properly, something I've rarely paid much attention to for aesthetical reasons in the past because there used to be just too many damn cables dogekek

#

nowadays though there's barely anything to hook up aside from the motherboard, gpu and case fans

rough patrol
#

Honestly the phanteks g400a made cable management pretty easy

#

I didnt have to do the sit on side panel to put it on trick

frozen ingot
#

no hard drive stacks needing molex power and sata cluttering up the whole thing

rough patrol
#

Oh i have 2 hard drives and a sata ssd in my thing

#

All carried over from the previous 3 iterations of this pc

frozen ingot
#

I have one spinnyboi and a sata ssd aside from the system nvme

rough patrol
#

Thinking of gettina second nvme

#

With 2 tb this time

frozen ingot
#

also carried over from previous rig CatBla

#

I got a new nvme for it, haven't bothered to put the one from my previous rig into the second slot yet but that's an extra tb when I need it

dull hollow
#

i got 2 sata drives and a nvme

Did arctic have ab rgb version of the liquid freezer 3?

#

Huh

rough patrol
#

Til

devout raptor
#

it was 85€

#

pure steal

rough patrol
#

I got the non rgb

#

Holyy what a steal

devout raptor
#

next step is cable management then i gotta install windows

#

the rad fan cables are a bit ugly but its physically not possible to flip them

rough patrol
#

And you cant flip the rad either right

dull hollow
rough patrol
#

Yeap just saw that

#

Sff cases got me fucked up tho, what is the psu doing there 😭

dull hollow
#

i had to move the 24 pin to where the marked area is cause the side panel didnt close 😅

#

sure it's fine for some games, but what if you play cpu-heavy games

#

and same vice versa

#

there's no universal rule or ratio of cpu perf to gpu perf

pale sigil
#

If he has a better GPU sure

ashen spindle
#

What? If he plays valorant for example that cpu will do everything it can and still be cpu limited

#

So a better gpu would do nothing in this case

pale sigil
#

Well ok but still I doubt the difference would be significant enough

ashen spindle
#

No it’s massive

pale sigil
#

Ok I'm super wrong

#

But like

#

Are you running a 500hz monitor lol

digital cliff
#

some are tbh

#

I'll never understand buying dumb 1080p TN panels at 480hz but some people want that in a monitor because comp games

ashen spindle
#

Having fps above your monitors refresh rate still gives you latency benefits

#

And these days we have 480hz oled panels

fair gull
#

wait a minute

#

the pci spec is REQUIRING the pins to be tied together?

#

what the actual crap

analog sinew
#

yeah that was the suspicion

#

after seeing the skanky Sapphire implementation

marsh glade
#

The intro to LTT's video is incredible havo

analog sinew
#

no idea who thought this was a good idea

sudden imp
#

Overloaded pins

fair gull
#

yes

sudden imp
#

That sounds like just bad design

fair gull
#

hc oc just mentioned it and im baffled that this is the actual spec

#

i thought nvidia just wanted to be sneaky for their fancy pcb

#

and others copied it cause less work

#

fudge me the spec for 6x2 is really fudged up

#

at this point im really questioning why they dont just use a chunky 2 pin battery connector like LTT did

digital cliff
#

since you would have cables that can actually carry all that power

#

but because they insist on doing 12 tiny cables, one of them will invariably shoulder more load than others just because of how electricity and path of least resistance work

fair gull
#

yeah exactly why im confused... they use 6 small cables instead of 1 that can actually carry the load of the 1 plane they enforce right at the connector

reef patrol
#

The LTT video touches on that.

I mean if you only work in text editors and IDE 60hz isnt even that bad tbh. But cheap to not have higher. At least the display has good colours

also 2-3 days of batterylife while running emulators isnt bad either

Hi I just got my wooting but Its disconnecting sometimes when im using it, can someone help me with this?

#

Ive tried 2 plugs into my PC now but ill try a third one as well

#

uh not sure u mean by that but yea it does wiggle a bit

#

Oh i see now

#

yea its disconnect when i move it around

#

should i try a different cable?

#

Ok Thank you!

#

ahh yea the different wires dont fix it either

#

when u say take it apart u mean take out the switches and unscrew it and unplug the case from the module right?

#

oh ok

digital cliff
#

"your wooting" being which product?

young grotto
#

80HE

digital cliff

so almost certainly a loose JST connector inside

rather than something wrong with the port itself. need to disassemble either way so you can check

ngl i agree with the comments pointing out that high end GPU setups (SLI/CrossFire) always cost above 1k in todays money

#

i bet some even cost what a 5090 costs today just for high framerates on the highest res monitors back then

wind parrot
#

10 years ago

trim crane
#

time to play a game from that era and benchmark 55 GPUs

fair gull
#

youll most likely get a similar spread to now. the low/mid end gpus will last you some time as well unless you have a twisted expectation of running games at high res and high framerates with high settings

trim crane
#

yeah

fair gull
#

i remember playing on mid tier gpus for years but i also never cared about graphics quality

#

and my 4090 purchase will end up in the same state in idk how many years of me just turning down settings and not caring too much

fair gull
# wind parrot 10 years ago

also love how the post overinflates sales of those high end gpus. if you check steam hardware surveys then miraculously the low/mid end is usually at the top

#

after that theres also quite a few gpus till the next most used high end card

wind parrot
#

im not saying everyone buys the best, im saying even 10 years ago, some cards were 1k

fair gull
#

i wasnt arguing against you but the reddit comment in the screenshot

wind parrot
#

yeah i see that now

fair gull
#

which made it seem like people buy these gpus en masse. and people still argue this today for the high end

#

just makes no sense

#

id say its a case of the high end card owners bragging which makes them a vocal minority

#

but yeah tl;dr of my opinion: high end perf for gpus always was as expensive as today and those gpus dont sell nearly as much as people make it out to be

old marlin
#

Clueless had people that tried to tell me that x060 cards are low end

#

Perception is warped

60 was meant to be mid tier with 70 and 70ti in like high mid tier/low high tier or so

in the market for a new desk mic, i know nothing other than "don't buy a blue yeti". any nerds with good advice in here? 😊

Or SM58 with audio interface which will be more or less the same but for half the price hanaSit

it would be helpful if i can easily travel with it also

this is not a desk mic

PodMic USB?

frozen ingot

quite similar to 57/58 but built in usb audio and headphone out with volume/mute controls

Has a built in DSP so you can do some EQ that’s processed on device. Then you just use Teams etc for the background noise removal.

DirectX Raytracing 1.2 announced Microsoft has presented a new version of DXR (DirectX Raytracing) at GDC 2025, a technology pioneered by the GeForce RTX 20 series with the first implementations of ray tracing in games, now enclosed in an industry standard. Microsoft is working on a new version of this technology, which would bring some […]

this is what im talking abt
Hopefully its just a driver issue that will be updated at some point

vagrant pagoda
#

Nah AMD is still behind in RT

fair gull
#

because everyone games with rt

#

cause rt is so good

umbral heron
#

YES, PLEASE DADDY JENSEN, I WANT HALF OF MY FPS FOR CHANGE IN LIGHTNING I COULD ONLY NOTICE ON DIRECT COMPARISON IMAGES SilvervaleMoneys

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean it's starting to be required for games now.

vagrant pagoda
#

XD

crimson wigeon
#

And render at a quarter of the resolution

#

Mmmm... soft fake frames

fair gull
#

is rt actually required?

#

dont most games still over some min rt settings and extra settings to basically turn it off

crimson wigeon
#

In some games, like that Indiana Jones game and DOOM: The Dark Ages

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah it's required and only bypass is running it on Linux with the driver emulating rt

#

Runs like crap but does run

#

Though that only works on Intel/AMD

umbral heron
#

iD Tech 7+ apparently uses it as rendering now hanaconfuse

Neural rendering time

vagrant pagoda
umbral heron
#

Oooh, I see HanaNodders

vagrant pagoda
#

It's the only workaround

#

You can use config options to disable the use of rt

#

But the game will still fail to launch without detecting suport

#

So you can emulate the support and disable actually using it

crimson wigeon
#

And I bet that renders 100% correct

vagrant pagoda
#

For circle it has some bugs

nimble arch
#

I don't actually see an issue with requiring hardware raytracing for a game to function correctly or even open

#

There's enough generations of compatible hardware on the market

#

Plus Indiana Jones has a very scalable implementation

vagrant pagoda
#

I mean a 1080ti still plays every non rt game at medium to high 1080p

#

And the fact that you can disable all the rt options in the config means it isn't actually required

distant tapir
#

Framerate is the most important metric and it's missing from your post

vagrant pagoda
#

60-90

ashen spindle
vagrant pagoda
#

The thing is it's purely a synthetic issue

ashen spindle
#

Alan wake 2 runs like shit on it too because pascal doesn’t have render graphs

#

It’s not even just RT that’s missing

vagrant pagoda
#

Rx580 can play it on Linux if you disable rt options in the config/console and emulate the hardware to trick the game into launching.

vagrant pagoda
ashen spindle
#

Ah yeah mixed that up render graphs are even newer

an AM5 mobo ain't cheap yet, nor is DDR5

for a drop in upgrade that gets you a huge performance uplift, yeah, worth

not worth the upgrade from a 5600x most of the time because you lose clocks

Possible fix for people using SignalRGB and having their LEDs interefered.

  • Backup your profiles in Wootility (export them and save in a text file or discord or something).
  • Disable your Wooting keyboard in SignalRGB (Devices → Find ur Wooting keyboard → Disable LEDs).
  • Close SignalRGB completely (make sure it’s not running in the background).
    Open Wootility, go to Settings → Keyboard Settings → Reset Keyboard.
    • Your LEDs should now be back to default.
      Reopen SignalRGB, enable your Wooting keyboard, and import your profiles.

That’s it! Your keyboard should be working fine now. :))))

ive tried it on multiple wooting keyboards and multiple rigs and it seems to be a working fix as of right now 🙂
