unless you're a NVidia shill
who gets hard nips looking at a minecraft torch avec DirectX RT
like me
Yuck.
SEUS PTGI is the superior option.
Minecraft RT is just embarrassing if you have Optifine.
People really love SEUS ๐
What
but without RT, yikes
^
Unbleach your eyes
The fuck settings are you running?
good question, the finest of herb from BC
Do you not have Reshade installed or something?
Dunno for me the game is beautiful
Bruh.
The game looks gorgeous af
for me the game isnt very beautiful cause I have mostly mnedium / low settings and get 35-45FPS
Get reshade and go to Nexusmods.
I don't even reshade either 
mhm, the RT set to the psycho settings with maxed settings is awesome
I tried using reshade once, and that was to hack in R6S by improving visibility
you would think
Yeah I don't need RT
csgo with RT would change your mind really fast
but steve from gamers nexus mentioned there are other minor little parts in much redder circumstances then silicon atm
like minecraft with RT did for me
Fuck do I need CS:GO with RT for
amd produced a fuck ton of g chips this season
but as u say
demand is crazy
rn
ray traced awesomeness
cus consoles plus all the hype around their chips
ha
If you advocated for DLSS, I wouldn't say shit
the crisps inside those things aren't that great
I love that as well
you need both
RT and DLSS
Doesn't DLSS shit itself in Cyberpunk?
I heard the game's quite dark so DLSS hates the fuck out of it
As in I saw pics where DLSS didn't have a clue what to do
I mainly noticed texture pop in sometimes
when scoped into the overwatch in the badlands
so almost never
literally twice iirc
besides, comrade's hammer is insane
not worth toting any other weapon around
even a super powerful sniper rifle
No interest in using OP weapons to me
I hate games that are too easy but also too hard
mhm
Cyberpunk keeps me interested with melee
that's why I just use mantis blades and a overture
I find that just using those weapons offer a decent challenge
I use nothing else but a knife and a katana
Throwing knives is fun
I just wish THEY WOULDN'T BE SINGLE USE
Fucking hell knives are rarer to find than guns
mhm
also
those budget arms vending machine guns
those are so cool
90 eurodollars for a cheap, disposable machine pistol with 36 shots
not bad
This answers that question as I see it.,
.
FUCK JUDY
I just visited her, hopped into a Caliburn, and speeded off into a mission
1 minute later
"Hey come over, I have shit for you"
FAM I was at your place a minute ago wtf
The speakers on the TV crackle when there is no sound playing
It's a loud irritating electric buzz
Any idea how to fix?
Sounds normal
Maybe too loud?
Could be interference
Like too many things that use radio waves next to it
I know you could place stuff like phones next to speakers and they would buzz
Not an expert on that one, sorry hun
The only thing connected to the internet near the TV is the chromecast
I'll have to show mom how to use that thing when I'm not here....
AGHHB
So she isn't blasting her phone speaker at top volume anymore
Chromecast?
Maybe that's what caused the buzzing on the television speakers......
Why not a roku?
Being played so loudly all the fucking time
Roku needs internet
She no have internet when I'm not at home
Chromecast have the guest mode
Fire?
IDK much about those
Hmmmm
SFF HTPC.
By far the best option.
Grab a second hand Vega enabled NUC and switch the drive.
More than enough for basic HTPC use.
Or if you live in the US get an Apple TV and install shadow.tech on that bitch.
Meh a roku stick is like 40$
Not everyone has options that you can afford
I ain't spending a lot of money for a SFF PC anytime soon
Ruthless economy PC can be had for about $200.
Corner a bunch of idiots and scour the Facebook marketplace.
Youโd be amazed.
I know the prices around FB marketplace
Or get yourself an old Dell Poweredge for $30 and put a cornered 1050 into there for a total of $100.
Iโve done that before.
Meh I still have my A4-5400 from the good old days
With a motherboard
Too bad that shit prolly will crap itself from 4K video
Mhmm.
But some 2nd gen Dell Poweredge systems are plenty powerful enough.
You got any idea what an i7 2600 can do? That CPU eats voltage and spits out cycles.
Just need graphics, and while expensive if you feel like being a complete asshole you can find someone gullible and spend a few days cornering them.
So what's wrong with a roku stick?
I don't want extra power cables for a SFF PC
You plug that shit straight into the TV and voila
The TV is also wall mounted
At 2m height
With no TV table anywhere near
I really don't see a need for a SFF PC
I learned an interesting fact
The Sky Q boxes UI is powered by QT
That's actually pretty neat
@wheat plume did the Sky Q not give that away? xD
hrm...I'm skeptical
Yea. Speedfan is too outdated. I wouldnt recommend it at all nowadays
It didn't even support my Z170 motherboard a couple years back
Which at that time was a few years old already
FUCKING HELL
Noctua has recently updated their 2021 product roadmap pushing a number of products back one quarter including their passive CPU cooler. The passive CPU cooler, black NF-A12x25 fans, black NH-U12A, and NH-U12A heatsinks have all been delayed from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021 the only product which remains on ...
I wouldn't use speedfan if anything else did what I needed as easily but not much lets me set specific temps and fan curves across the system
Especially since all my fan curves are based on my gpu temp. Sadly the motherboard doesn't do that with the curves. Only cpu and whatever sensor they have sitting on the motherboard
No idea why it lost access to the sensors but I also don't restart my Pc hardly ever. It works fine for the most part
ez fix, I guess
On gigabyte mb's i can put fan curves n stuff iin bios. With their own software inside windows too but i cant be bothered to install bloatware
I'd be surprised if they let you base the fan curves on the GPU temp
Asrock lets me do a bios fan curve too but not how I want
Ok
On gigabyte you can plug in an external temp sensor and use that to control the fan curve
Jiggybyte
I wish my ASUS board didn't fail to POST 50% of the time
Will go with an Aorus Pro or something
Dunno my mobo refuses to accept to BIOS changes
Thank god for the flash via USB button
It restarts after BIOS changes
Fails to post
I have to cut power because it doesn't turn off any other way
Then reverts the changes and restarts in safe mode
Reflash the bios
I do the ASUS thingy where it hooks up to the internet and self installs
I don't have a button for that ;_;
I must go into bios
Actually it's January
Well ye lana
So Zen 3 compatibility BIOS launches this month
What mobo?
B550 rog strix f
Eh mine is their cheaper shit
So happy with it other than no usb c header 
B450 TUF gaming or something
Tempted to find a converter
I kinda want to go with an X570 or something for a shit ton more USB connectors 
I personally would not care about having USB-C on rear IO right now, front port could be useful though.
get a b550 aorus pro for usb ports
The mobo usb c is being used
I got mine for like 60 below msrp 
nah just pro
More expensive for no valuable gain? ๐
I don't see anything wrong with jiggybyte
I had two, and neither failed
ASUS though, failed on the first mobo I had from them
I never liked them either way
Had to many boards with issues and so has my family and friends
Big hope
I get everything is different for people
sample bias zzz
Gigabyte is okay, just have to make sure you save bios profiles to usb when you oc with it and don't don't come near any of their software.
I only went with ASUS routers cause they have some kind of special homebrew software for them
Except razer haha
I stopped liking MSI GPUs but I came full circle this time xD
I miss EVGA so much but I do love my GPU regardless
Also i hate my pc already @ashen spindle

I just wanna hide it xD
Oh lord
AS for quality / doe, their very bottom of the barrel motherboards have been quite bad in the past.
Building / installing a decent number of cheap office systems at work I did notice gigabyte was the only manufacturer where I had more then 1 doa mobo.
Despite using around twice as many asrock boards. the total is about 60 systems. in 2014-2017
Oh dear god
Gigabyte boards on the higher end are the very bottom of the barrel though
Oh
Oops you meant that
which is once again showing it doesn't matter what a company does in other parts/previous years 
if 9/10 boards are shit for your entire lineup can still mean you have 1 great one
Very much agree, even with a decent number of systems it's very hard to make a call.
sure for server market when you bulk order and more care about reliability etc. that can be an extra factor to consider
but that goes both ways
Anyone want a 5600x 
10 year of reliability doesnt mean the prodcut in year 11 is 100% stable
see intel roadmaps 
While that is certainly true, 10 years of being unreliable does give at least some indication about year 11.
points at Model-Ms from 80s still chugging on happily 
Yeah hence itโs a factor to consider but no guarantee
Definitely.
Like I like my asrock board for my 8600k but most of their boards are trash, before and after
Hah. ASRock makes awesome boards. 
quality, price
What? ๐
All of the 4 major consumer motherboard brands have their ups and downs but none are generally better or worse than others.
Price is good for what they offer though
Well with trash I also meant good boards that are way pricier than their quality should be
Kraken X
Quality is also not half bad
Build quality sometimes is quite good
My Abyssus survived for a long time
so you have to rely on โsometimesโ to get good build quality
Dunno the products I had were a good experience
Wasn't the b550 lineup at least decent in some parts. same goes for other AMD lineups.
As far as I know they just stopped caring about intel.
Abyssus V2 I had for 3 years till the middle click broke
So I replaced it with the Basilisk Hyperspeed just for the middle click
Not really iirc the taichi is good but most are just more expensive than equal counter parts
my asrock x570m pro4 is quite good actually
But experimental software helped
havenโt had an issue related to the motherboard ever
Headphones I got no complaints for, very sturdy metal build quality for Krakens
Sound is what you can expect from a gaming headset
Keyword most
like they have perfectly good boards, but if the msrp is 50$ above in the 200$ category, and you can get 1-1 the same features on another brand
then idk why to get that unless regional pricing is just broken
Razer motherboards 
I do agree that for a large portion of their linup Asrock is a bit behind right now.
That'd be a sight to behold
All black with green accents mobos would kinda look sick though
They do exist, only bundled with laptops or phones
of course they don't make those themselves.
But neither does NZXT
In uh...what way? Last I checked my Velocita has everything. Including 2.5gbit 
It exists... sadly.
As far as I know ASrock is moslty behind on the vrm department. IO wise they compete a bit better.
b550 or x570 velocita?
Can't speak for the entire lineup but my Velocita has the fancy VRM setup. 14 phases et cetera
B550 of course. X570 is a joke and a gimmick.
iirc that is mostly the same as a steel legend but a bit more expensive? and not as good for memory OC bc it lacks layers
like it's not a trash board, you can just get better at the same bracket usually
like what does it offer the b550 aorus pro doesn't have?
Better RGB software for one. 
ok sure, that is something I dont pay attention to at all lol
The Auros Pro is definitely a good deal though.
I just find the eagle logo obnoxious personally. And they often make it impossible to hide.
B550 or X570 Aorus Pro though
look we both know looks aren't part of the discussion bc that makes comparisons impossible :p
X570 Aorus Pro has 2 extra USB connectors
I flat out ignore 570. There's just not enough payoff for the added cost and dealing with a South ridge fan (on most models)
The added gen4 is such a niche thing for general consumers.
for now it is
we can't even saturate gen3
unless ur using more lanes than the mainstream chips have
in general
With NVME's we can. But again. Niche crowd.
and given gen5 is fairly close, yes, no point to get it now if you dont need it right now
I suspect by the time 570 becomes mainstream relevant, we already have at least one new B type chipset
If ever.
yep, the cost of nvmes mean that u can just go pricier board and it's irrelevant
also new socket so not like it matter for future gens anyway
gen5 is coming surprisingly fast given how long gen 2 and 3 lasted
meh not really
it comes faster bc now it's needed sooner
no point making new complicated stuff 5 years+ before it can even be used
it's surprising to me it was needed sooner
ah ok
i think the way the latest cpus are selling
and the constraint with supply meeting demand
they will delay new chips unless intel comes with something rly good
why not milk the market
get a bit more returns
refine the new product more, or 1 after
doubt it, would cause delays in server market and a solid roadmap is what they need to get more share there
Intel has chips landing any day now. But it's more 14nm refresh that runs even hotter yet.
yeah in march
they can release the server side and just delay the consumer grade chips
not with the current strategy where it's very similar chips but lower bins going into consumer space
would mean they sit on stock doing nothing
also, sure intel might be slow atm, why risk long term things for barely any short term profit, since you should work under the assumption 7nm, works for them, you cant be 100% sure that tsmc 3nm has no issues etc.
and ARM coming up more and more, don't want to lose markets to arm bc you only focus on intel chips
arm is a problem
for the x86 makers
if we get anything good out of apple
is that warning
and amd already got the mcm/chiplet thing going
now all we need is a coule high freq cores
then lower cores
and we are basically making mobile chips for desktop grade
Sweet jesus. Just buy a USB card xD
but at what price
that meme makes no sense since aorus has more usb ports than almost any other option
unless thats a thing only since the newer models

same io + wifi
The placement of those antennas though... oof.
That can definitely collide with wider USB cables. ๐

Hmm....
๐
the number of these types of news a week has been growing steadily
you would think it goes down, but no
"During President Barack Obama's term of office, Recordon served as the first Director of White House Information Technology"
so just a previous guy back in office
It seems next month Facebook and all it's services have to detail how much data it siphons off each individual user and it's to a point where it's gone from in some cases run of the mill messaging software to flat out spyware. Thanks for watching!
Like, Comment and Subscribe for more videos!

like if you only get concerned with your data going to facebook now from that maybe you should stop using phones
even telegram is monitored
yes
a guy I know helped organizing protests in HK
the only messenger that didn't get people busted was signal
I mean yea
but there was consistency behind it
so if they themselves don't listen in someone else will, idk if that changes much really 

reminds me of that bloomberg article where they showed some tiny SMD component and claimed it was a chinese monitoring device that was built into every supermicro server without them noticing
i remember that
fml
remember seeing something recently
where someoen discoverd that his phone was monitored by the CIA
that bloomberg article is complete bs
telegram was busted by israeli or russian forced
i don't recall
so it's not a problem if u are european necessarily
if it was israeli, then americans will still be fuced
and if someone got into the door
than others can too
but there should be articles about it
telegram vulnerabilities
and on that topic
wat about discord
there's no way they are not monetizing data
but they deny it every time
monitored as well
tencent undermines everything
ik the german police doesn't have access to it 
nah
yes

Youโre not wrong.
tencent is fine
we need the chinese to get on par with american spying somehow
let other companies trade our data for money
so that google and amazon and fb aren't going uncontested
Bah, like it matters.
i like that bezos gets to do what he wants
You seriously think they arenโt working together?
except bang outside marriage and get caught
Powerful people would be insane not to make a plan together.
but alibaba man gets fucked by winnie the poo

well
egos get in the way
as does greed
logic has no place in these types of stages
cus by logic, they wouldn't even be there

Not long before the Xbox Series consoles released, a strange listing sprang up on AliExpress: A motherboard with an AMD A9-9820, which until now, has only ever been used in the Xbox ...
So they did make a video on it
The SoC that they found on aliexpress or something
Which is very similar if not outright the same to the one they use in last gen consoles 
?
yes but that does not include vat
๐
i order some other headphones before realising that
xD
But it ships from UK
Uhh Thomann has a UK warehouse ๐
Oof
Still at that point you could have gotten my new bad boys
Wait why'd you even replace 560S
Isn't that literally a sidegrade or a downright downgrade
im wanting to cancel that order
so i decided to try AKG K612PRO in the mean time
as with amazon i can just return hassle free
the next day
lol
Oh thats what you meant
U.K posh people say p's so I got used to the slang
honestly, if i noticed a big difference from my mx50 to AKG K612PRO ill be happy to keep them
and not spend 70 quid more
if not ill just re order the hd560s
from the uk
if that makes sense
Tbh I am pretty sure I know what my next headphones would be
U.K posh people say p's
I got something in my target sights
HiFiMan Sundara is my next pickup in a year or few
We dont say P for ounds
never in my entire life
I guess it's "comedic" 
I mean do you even go out?
yes
As much as i want the H6X or the H560s i simply cannot be bothered paying the difference rn if im happy with the AKG K612PROs
HD6XX are quite good
will prob try out my brothers more this month
but can recommend
6XX is killer value at 200$
But good luck getting anywhere near that in EU
I saw cheapest listings at 350 EUR
At that point I'll bite the bullet and get the Sundara
with import
if i had the money i wouldnt be assed about imports
I heard 6XX is too neutral
and all it's owners
Sundara is really good
6XX is pretty neutral
My MX50s just aint the same anymore
that is the point
well then don't get them
hifiman is just a dogshit company imo
cause the flaws on the HE400i were never addressed and are just unforgiveable
my brothers earpads break ever few months
the fix is "lol just get sundaras"
I'd get the Focal Elex
the fixture for the grates gets loose in a short amount of time
which can make them rattle at certain frequencies
That's a loot of money
fix is "lol just buy sundaras"
the sockets for the cables can easily get a loose connection
and I don't think I have to tell you what the fix is
I would like Quad ERA-1 
or some LCD2s

but don't earn that kinda money atm
Anyone has experience listening to the Focal Elex?
I just hope the AKG K612PRO aren't as dogshit as the CALs for gaming
I am too scared of LCDs
Well if K371 is anything to go by
It's quite good
I got used to these
Quite good sound
CALs?
And the vocal issue was due to just a guy badly rendering a video
@old marlin Creative Aurvana Live!
creative 
dt880s
I was going to get the dt 880
but like
from what i gathered
AKG K612PRO are better in terms of sound
and the 40 quid difference i couldn't justify
But not build quality
also
880 is not super great
at handling bass
im really confused
as to why the beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO is cheaper than the 880
lol
Does in price 
So like the MX50s then
aka more focus in bass and then bigger treble peak 
Most people buy them cos streamers use them
Actually you can buy directly from Beyer
And when I last checked there were some good discounts
Yeah no
150 euros
xD
AKG K612PRO are expensive in the us
just shit in general
But it's not gonna last long
Sennheiser is classy
my sennheisers still feel solid after 3 years
cleaned earpads once
and that is it
as in
gave them a deepclean
so they could get their springiness back
and in case they do break everything is available as a replacement part
yea mine show absolutely no sign of damage though
That's prolly granted
Unless you sit on them
I don't see anything surviving after that
i dont feel like the MX50s are overrated
tbh
Ares seems to hate them
@cursive summit my m50xs did
They were good back in their day
Well my Cloud Alphas survived after I sat on them
But they bent quite badly
Why does mega suggest it knowd your password?
Cloud IIs are OLD
database leaks
Alphas are newer
I love mine
Alpha S is newer than Alphas
Alpha Wireless is brand new
Sad...
Apparently Kingston improved the sound on the Wireless model of Alphas
And they are quite great now
Wireless with better sound than their wired counterpart??
Yep
Wot
xD i need a bloody amp now
Cloud II Wireless isnโt just a classic Cloud II with wireless hardware inside. In fact, almost every part of it is newly designed or re-engineered. Itโs a true sequel to the older headset, and my personal favorite wireless headset in the HyperX lineup.
Ooohhh
I was considering them
But they won't work on my phone
They use bluetooth dongle
So pc and laptop only
Ah
The apple way
@cursive summit im waiting on me dongles too
Well US ones
that a friend is sending me
cba to look for my eu one
haha
There are so many counterfeits and just plain knockoffs on Amazon 
I cba to look at which one is real
Prolly none
The apple dac
Same one I for with my phone
Ye haha
:p
LEL
The Apple usb c dongle beats any dac/(some amps) under $100
Callum*
So I never actually knew
Is the Lightning just a deviant of USB-C?
Or is it something you can't stick in USB-C?
Its own thing
Actually
Lightning has always basically been USB C
I don't think I pay taxes
before its time
If someone needs an apple dong pay me postage i can send you mine
lightning is just reverse usb-c
Don't use it anymore
The only benefit Lightning has are the hooks that give you feedback when you plug stuff.
Ah so it does have reversibility
i have 2 coming from Texas 
Alos lighting is a good connector imo and i don't even like apple stuff
A simple adaptor dongle for the header cable.
Should still pas audio without loss right
@pale sigil How do you navigate Amazon 
I am on the U.S store
I got no clue how to find Apple's store
Amazon is such a shit marketplace
Found it
Yeah I wrote "Apple lightning to 3.5" and I got chinese knockoffs
Some kind of anker and other shits with braided cables
WHAT
THE FUCK
Is that shipping
Time to put a flag on your name
๐
@pale sigil Yep
And why do I need a forwarder?
Yeah no
That's the only delivery option
Can't you just ship from U.S to EU?
Well fml
What are you trying to buy?
An Apple headphone dongle

Eh when I get the bucks I might just snipe a Magni Heresy and a Modi 3 instead
At least you HAVE a header to convert xD
I'm short one C/3 header for my front panel.
My Dynamic XL has 2, 3.0 headers and one USB-C
So... I have two useless USB A ports on the front atm.
Wtf is an Apple headphones dongle

Best dongle
Lightning to 3,5mm xD
That's what he said Cal
They exist in lightning too ๐
And they need to be official. Since most counterfeit ones use Bluetooth.
Ye
lol
Some real chinese creativity.
You plug in a dongle that sucks power out of the phone but no data... and then uses bluetooth to plug in 3,5mm audio xD

sounds like something very chinese
or apple 
iOS devices transmit data over cables not by just pushing data over it but by establishing a network port and then just puishing data over that
u fuckin wot
the info page for my mobo says 2x USB 3.2 GEN 1 ports
but the manual says 1
that is why they always have a random network port open
i have thunderbolt which is cool i guess
I'm willing to bet it says 1x and 1x at another spot
bc they seperate it depending where it comes from
Maybe he's looking at the wrong revision in the motherboard page 
One header, two ports.
Except USB-C
Those need all of the bandwidth for a single port at full performance.

Well
Ok then
thats that solved
lol
Guess i cant even use a converter
๐
i hate having a wasted USB C port
haha
better not waste a single usb slot then
i basically just use it to store the dongle
ATM i use USB C to lightning
for my IPad 
Such a nice cable
i still haven't bought case fans
haven't felt like i needed to btbh
I did read that part
But wouldn't that not happen with any cpu?
Naw.
if it would why would they specify
Cause they only used that cpu
then read the sentences above it
where they go into more detail
and say it only runs hot with high end cpus

TLDR; The 3900X is a VERY hungry CPU. So it pulls all the power it can through those poor power controllers.
Shall i ruin my system with this
What that
This isn't the case with a 3600X.
It adds usb A and C via pcie
Wow ok
That is the way, young pedawan
USB-C has the 2 data wires required for usb2.0
i got the usb c to lightning cable for free
so its literally not a loss
i got some nice usb a to usb c cables too
which i use for my keeb and phone
Add more usb-c roothubs
Cant have too many of them
very nice for free
No busses are allowed here. Point to point only
ngl i thought id hate having no leds on my keeb
but i really dont mind
would be nice if i could have had pink leds tho
Hmm, seems like a cheap chinesium cable... hoping it doesnt last like one
tracking url
there
NSA: thank you for your cooperation
Why they specify certain phone brands?
haha
Hmmmmm.
Ok
Boomer: I want a samsung cable please, for my samsung smart fridge smartphone
Mine has 2
tis a mess
Because the manufacturer cheaped out
Surround sound
maybe front has more bc you have so few in the back
Oh
The black and orange ones for surround
Trippy
the question is why did you get a board that doesnt seem to have the IO you need
Bundle remember
yeah you can sell parts
4 usb 2.0
Oh gosh
Probably all connected to the same roothub
No
Mine had usb 3
Also whats with 2.5GB ports now
And like two 2.0
then where did you get 4 usb 2 ports from lol
had? it evolved?
Cause I didn't see the color difference
Also why did USB done fuck up the naming scheme?
yes
hah compared to my last board
im happy
Using an oculus with this was painful
x.x
6 audio jacks...
yes for multiple audio channels?
adorable
One of mine can also be the mic in if set correctly
oh rev2 also added thunderbolt to the front ports
Mine has serial and parallell support. yes...those used to connect with printers with DB-15 connectors
Yes
ancient
My GPU also glows in all colours of the rainbow
since i cannot be bothered
to buy an adapter
My GPU makes rainbows on my monitors like it should be
