4 hours of messing with 5ghz wifi

glorious 173Mbps 80211.ac
spare wave
In my experience 5G is just 2.4 with less reach.
latent mural
it's supposed to go to 800mpbs but my phone dropped support altogether due to EU law, my router doesn't support it; i broke my hostednetwork driver and the windows 10 wireless hotspot function wont allow me to change the channel
so it's stuck inside 2.4ghz channels
but in theory it's supposed to be much better
chrome estuary
glorious 9mbps
sick creek
5ghz is higher bandwidth (because of the tighter waves, more info can be sent) but more susceptible to interference and objects blocking the signal, etc because it cant bounce as far
Its why i have 1 AP on each floor of my house
plush summit
its good to have
plush summit
true
plush summit
interesting
sick creek
Ah
plush summit
how much did that cost
sick creek
Umm
99 for the router, 90 for each AP (3 of them), 80-100 for the switch, 100+ for the box of cat6, another 30 for the short premade cables, 79 for that white box which is basically a management server for the wifi
Cant remember how much the power strip and rack mount were
Probably another 100 or so for everything
Ish? Yeah
I didnt buy it all at once
And i wired up 2 houses with one box of cat6
And i still have prob 200ft or so left
Probably wasted around 60 feet from excess in the pulls
Most rooms have 2 ports, some only have one because of the nightmare getting the cables to them
Yea of course
I do that for rooms with lots of devices
It was ridiculous getting wires across the ceiling and then down to the wall opposite of the router
I had to cut open the wall in the room above
Drill thru the top plate, then thru the cavity and through the next set of boards
And push the pull string through
I had a fiber optic camera, without it i never would have been able to do it

so GTA doesn't want to pick up the analog

gta v is quite annoying, you can use it to drive but only if you dont move your mouse while doing that, and you need to set it back to digital when you exit the car and walk, if you want to move with wasd around
but it does work absolutely fine for driving
or does it not work even when not moving/clicking with your mouse?
ashen spindle
ye because while you move your mouse, gta thinks your at a pc and ignore controller input, so you basically need to re-press your pedal key everytime it switches
aka it doesnt really work with a mouse

Heh, 2080 is only marginally better price/performance than the VII
Plus, I'd have to GSync displays, so not really an option
zenith sonnet
For the handful of displays it works with (mine isn't among them), performance is magically a lot worse than Freesync
'a lot' being one frame more delay
latent mural
doesn't care about tearing at all
fair gull
i didnt get tearing yet
zenith sonnet
It's tearfree, lowest latency possible gaming
latent mural
well tear-not-free is even lower latency
zenith sonnet
Tearing was rarely an issue for me either
latent mural
tearing is certainly not worth paying extra for me
zenith sonnet
But the improvement in latency and smoothness is well worth it
fair gull
idk i tried out gsync on a few monitors for a customer
and
idk
didnt feel better than my normal screens
latent mural
latency according to mr. battlenonsence on youtube will always be higher with adaptive sync
zenith sonnet
Nope, Freesync does not add any latency whatsoever
latent mural
and who ever I've asked about the "smoothness", no one could tell me for sure if it's a thing or not with adaptive sync
zenith sonnet
Frame delivery is perfectly timed
There will be no dropped frames
latent mural
you can just limit your framerate for that
fair gull
the question is will u really notice it outside of competetive games
fair gull
ok so its a you problem
zenith sonnet
I'm extremely sensitive to latency, I notice a difference between 60 and 144Hz, or 20ms more button to photon delay quite easily
To the point where under some circumstances, playing a game in Borderless window instead of Exclusive Fullscreen can give me migraines
latent mural
60 to 144 would be hard not to notice :p.. unless you compare to screens that blur a bunch
fair gull
^
latent mural
Xenoa that just sounds like your experiencing strobbing at 60hz
amusingly you can 1. live with that 2. get a shitty motion blurry screen 3. ramp up to 144hz
learned to live with it
zenith sonnet
This is on the same display, Freesync enabled
🤔
Also it's a 'flicker-free' backlight
It can do backlight strobing at 60, 100, 120, 144 Hz, but I never used it because it disables Freesync, which is clearly superior
latent mural
the frame rate itself can cause strobing
zenith sonnet
Nope
Image goes straight to the monitor
And the monitor refreshes immediately when receiving an image
fickle ore
that's nice. Wasn't interested in in Gsync cause it adds 1 frame I think
zenith sonnet
G-Sync compatible mode (Software GSync) adds a frame
Hardware GSync also has the same low latency
fickle ore
I think there's something happening because most test i've seen at the same refresh rate, the average latency with gsync is still a couple milliseconds more than vsync off
zenith sonnet
There's a few variables
fair gull
ya dont use 30km of display cable
zenith sonnet
Lol, that too
fickle ore
...
zenith sonnet
Also, running at 300 FPS internally or using an ingame limiter has different effects than using RTSS to stay within adaptive sync range
fickle ore
meeh, ill just keep using vsync off, or did they increase freesync to 240hz?
zenith sonnet
Freesync itself has no limit, I think
It all depends on what the display and GPU can handle
And the cable..
Anyway, best is always Vsync off, and using the best available limiter to stay within Sync range
fair gull
the standard has a supported range
which prob most monitors/cables dont exceed
its like 10-240hz or so

reef patrol
The Dynamic is the first of their cases with that silhouette and side fan moibts, that I've seen.
latent mural
I think the original O11 had an Asus version that was similar
but bigger and much more expenisve
I think like 3 times the price of the o11 dynamic
yea
latent mural
would basically be an h200 but with a glass fron panel
wil llikely be released by nzxt in the next 2 years
karmic grail
but it needs to retain that side mounted fan area
latent mural
or there will be anotehr even more stupid trend in the industry
in matx it could work
in itx you would only get a single slot

TECHNICALLY... the A1 with a clear front would be exactly a 011 itx
but the PSU is mounted upfront

Both cases are designed for watercooling honestly.
latent mural
you should do watercooling for both

why watercool?

Chance to reach a higher OC
Also it sounds like an interesting project
And less noise under load

fickle ore
yea well, you asked for an opinion. Custom watercool isn't something I would do personally due to the fan + noise + hassle of water inside my pc
I would personally look for alternate ways to cool
zenith sonnet
Yeah, I'm not too sure myself
With air cooling, you have a lot less performance, it's just unavoidable
But water is expensive and a hassle
pale sigil
Only reason I haven't bothered
To expensive
Isn't a great payoff
I mean ye it's cool but screw spending a fortune for a little less temp
zenith sonnet
I would guess 300-400€ for high quality components, GPU and CPU loop
But while we're at it, why not watercool the RAM and Board? 🙃
reef patrol
zenith sonnet
Well, side effect, though: Less heat in the case means cooler RAM and Board by default
latent mural
bad side effect
less airflow means hotter ram and motherboard
especially vrm cooling suffers from that
zenith sonnet
If you don't have airflow any more, you're doing it wrong
latent mural
and 300€ to 400€ is a pretty low estimate, especially for cpu and gpu
pale sigil
As long as you don't go above 50c we all cozy
zenith sonnet
But a single case fan is more than enough to keep the inside of the case fairly cool
latent mural
usually yes

When you don't have a 300W GPU and 150W CPU venting into it

I'm waiting on the 3700X or 3800X, whichever has the higher base clocks

Being married has its perks (like a 4000€ tax return), but you're immediately gonna spend that on double purchases, lol
karmic grail
Inwin A1
zenith sonnet
Too small
reef patrol
H500?
zenith sonnet
ATX
Although I don't mind larger cases
The O11 looks good and is surprisingly reasonably priced
130€, I would expected twice that
reef patrol
Keep in mind it is a heavy boi.,
zenith sonnet
Anything less than 40Kg is alright
I'm not some middle aged woman demanding not having to lift more than 8Kg
🤔
reef patrol
zenith sonnet
Doesn't come with case fans
I like that
Means I don't have to spend 15€ more for some crap fans I'd replace anyway
karmic grail
011 is surprisingly lighter than A1 @reef patrol
latent mural
the o11 dynamic almost weighs double
zenith sonnet
6Kg vs 10.1Kg
latent mural
don't choose the O11 if you want to do any amount of air cooling though
except when you want to get a vertical cooler
reef patrol
AIO and Loops only pretty much yeah.
latent mural
currently have a nzxt x72 360mm aio in mine
can't reccomend it though
temps are great
everything else isn't
zenith sonnet
Used to have a Fraktal Design Kelvin S24
latent mural
looks are ruined by bad rgb and CAM is the worst piece of software that survived for more than a monthj on my pc
latent mural
I didn't take the corsair one because I though it looked cheap
the NZXT has only 7 color rgb in segments though
karmic grail
Wait oh the 011 dynamic
reef patrol
karmic grail
Thinking of the wrong case 🤦
latent mural
which one did you think of?
karmic grail
Can recommend fractal cases tho
latent mural
haven't worked too much with them personally
karmic grail
Have seen many builds in it (also many good reviews and stuff)
I wanted a fractal ITX case but there wasn't any that I liked
Now they have that new ITX one and I really want it
karmic grail
at least you have front fans
zenith sonnet
Plenty of space to work with, good cable management
zenith sonnet
It's a full tower though
zenith sonnet
It's huge
karmic grail
I like big towers but I don't like how easy it is to work in one
reef patrol
Prepare to buy a cable splitter and and a cable extender for the A1 though...
zenith sonnet
Can put an NH-D15 in there and still have about 3cm of headroom
latent mural
I LIKE BIG TOWERS AND I CANNOT LIE
karmic grail
List of extenders I bought for A1:
1 to 5 4 pin fan splitter
HDD female plug to molex
reef patrol
Who needs molex though? 😛
latent mural
that'S a good thing though
latent mural
molex is the worst
karmic grail
The shitty fan controller I had needed a molex plug
The first week of me using the case I had no fans
latent mural
you don't need extra cables for a modular psu
karmic grail
reef patrol
Let me rephrase - Who needs a fan controller for an A1? Does your motherboard not have fan headers? 😄
latent mural
and the molex plugs can't killy our psu becasue they hit the case wall in the worst way
karmic grail
yes motherboard has fan headers
no it doesn't have enough
reef patrol
😄
latent mural
how many fans do you have
karmic grail
I have 4 fans
latent mural
rip motherboard
karmic grail
2 4 pins on motherboard
zenith sonnet
I have 3
karmic grail
1 used up by AIO
reef patrol
Fan splitters mate
zenith sonnet
It's plenty
karmic grail
latent mural
ju8st use fan splitters
you can legit put all 4 fans on one conector without any trouble
reef patrol
Well not the pump, but the fans sure
karmic grail
I used a 1 to 5 fan splitter
That works
The pump has the CPU_FAN1 plug
Splitter has the CPU_FAN2 plug
reef patrol
I hope you set CPU1 to a static speed 😄
latent mural
ah, kk
karmic grail
which I'm not sure if it's correct or not
latent mural
should be half of that
at least that's how it usualyl works
which is a pretty realistic value
karmic grail
might be a mobo glitch then
latent mural
no
zenith sonnet
HF-14's do a pretty good
latent mural
it has to do with how the pumps give out the pwm signal
tbh
I think the HF14 don't do enough static pressure for an itx case to perform well
karmic grail
might check up on it then 😱
latent mural
nah, it's normal don't worry about it
latent mural
few motherboards have a "pump mode"
zenith sonnet
FD do have high pressure fans as well
latent mural
best fan would definetley be teh NF-A12X25
karmic grail
phew
zenith sonnet
I don't need static pressure
latent mural
the NF-A12x25 actualyl does both better than most fans
and is quieter than most fans
zenith sonnet
This case has an 'open top'
latent mural
it just is THE best
karmic grail
I wish I could afford A12x25 but the brown puts me off
karmic grail
If noctua could just make them black it would dominate the fan market
reef patrol
They uh did
reef patrol
latent mural
they did it only with all prior fans
karmic grail
I still can't find out the perfect fan placement for the A1
latent mural
and instead of releasing the 140mm model at the same tiem as the 120mm model tehy isntead released a bracket to mount the 120mm fans to 140mm rads
because it still performs better than those apparently
karmic grail
yes
And no it hasn't died
latent mural
lol
karmic grail
6months running strong
latent mural
and a laptop firecuda
zenith sonnet
I have all case fans sucking air in, lol
latent mural
you should at least point one out
karmic grail
zenith sonnet
This is where it all goes out
zenith sonnet
I have the CPU fan mouted vertically
karmic grail
yes cause it really doesn't have another air source for fresh air
fair gull
@sacred smelt the 120s die way way quicker than the 240 or 480
karmic grail
yes
latent mural
ah, ok
karmic grail
The PSU is mounted so it sucks air in
So I just did a flipped version of how usually airflow works in a normal ATX case
reef patrol
Prototype shown off, never produced 😦
latent mural
rip
reef patrol
I believe that was their reasoning, yes. The A1 is already a bit pricy
karmic grail
150aud 😞
zenith sonnet
Why hasn't anyone ever made a case made out of radiator? 🤔
