[wheat spruce]

Real lol

[rapid lake]

I can just get the stock fans

[quaint helm]

change so fast lol @lost fossil

[wheat spruce]

Also I got a random question how much does a 2tb hdd usually cost?

[lost fossil]

i'm just super saying

[quaint helm]

50-60$ ish

if older ones maybe 30-40

[rapid lake]

2tb hdd for 50 buckaroos?

[wheat spruce]

I got one for 20 bucks xd

[lost fossil]

better look on the used market for 12-16tb chia drives

[rapid lake]

Dafuq

[lost fossil]

oh he got it already well nvm

[wheat spruce]

[lost fossil]

that's an old drive damn

[wheat spruce]

Shop sells a bunch of old stuff

Old games, consoles, parts

[wheat spruce]

Well if it shits the bed I got 5 year warranty xd

[wheat spruce]

Could’ve snagged a 3080 while I was at it xd

[rapid lake]

70 day delivery 💀

[wheat spruce]

😭

[rapid lake]

And $65 shipping for a part that costs $6 and weighs nothing

[wheat spruce]

For what a thumb drive?

Or

[lost fossil]

where tf to

[wheat spruce]

Mars?

[wheat spruce]

My pc won’t care the mobo itself is a decade old

[rapid lake]

I’m not getting it straight from aliexpress f this

I know a guy that knows some guys in china that can ship it here faster and cheaper

He says just send the part number and he’ll hook me up

[wheat spruce]

What Ali express takes 70 days???

[thin turtle]

Mhm

[thin turtle]

12

[wheat spruce]

Does this help?

[wheat spruce]

Where does it ship from 😭😭

[thin turtle]

China

[rapid lake]

It’s by sea

[thin turtle]

False

[lost fossil]

yeah but a hard drive of this age is risky business

[wheat spruce]

Hmm

I’ll keep an eye out but it seems fine

[thin turtle]

Habibi we don't care about this

[rapid lake]

There are other options

But over 100$

[wheat spruce]

Oh lol

[thin turtle]

Lmao

[rapid lake]

This is why I love my country

[wheat spruce]

So it doesn’t help xd

[quaint helm]

[wheat spruce]

Alright

[rapid lake]

Trust deez nutz

[wheat spruce]

Honestly

[rapid lake]

I think I’ll order the shark attack mouse while I’m at it

[quaint helm]

almost read it as shark tank mouse

[thin turtle]

Like these pipes

@wheat spruce

[lost fossil]

conduit?

[thin turtle]

You just utilise the pipes

Nothing related to phone

Everything goes off

[thin turtle]

Here they use electric pipes

Where you're from they might just run through the wall

Like cardboard walls

[wheat spruce]

I see where’s that?

[thin turtle]

Oman

[wheat spruce]

We use just cables I believe not pipes like that not sure tho

[thin turtle]

Where do cables run

Do you have a

[thin turtle]

[wheat spruce]

[quaint helm]

how come where?

[wheat spruce]

[rapid lake]

It’s very likely discord doing this on purpose

[wheat spruce]

How you come?

[quaint helm]

Goddamn discord

[rapid lake]

It’s just for big servers, supposed to help speed discord up

[wheat spruce]

Ahh

[rapid lake]

What’s the benefit of having a fully modular PSU

[nova steppe]

Less cables to manage

[rapid lake]

Aside from maybe cable management

That’s it?

[civic cloud]

Yep

you can also get custom cables which are fancy

[nova steppe]

Some smaller cases need it because there's not a lot of room for extra cables

[rapid lake]

lol too bad, lolks like I’m gonna be using all these cable eventually anyways

[nova steppe]

Aside from my first PSU, into at least semi modular

[rapid lake]

Can’t you just use cable extensions

[nova steppe]

(I'm only on my 3rd since 2016)

[civic cloud]

Yes but then you have so much fucking cable in your case

[nova steppe]

Those are extensions, so that makes the space and management issue worse

[rapid lake]

My case isn’t that small nor big but the extra cable are tucked into the HDD bay

Which I’m probably gonna use at some point

[nova steppe]

I meant more of mini ITX

[civic cloud]

Modular PSUs are barely more expensive, so it's 10 bucks more for a great QoL improvement

[rapid lake]

Is it fine to put some games on a hdd?

[nova steppe]

Yes

[civic cloud]

Yes

[rapid lake]

Currently I have 1tb nvme and 500gb sata

But I ran out way quicker than I thought

[civic cloud]

Uninstall Warzone

[sharp coyote]

Psu

[nova steppe]

When I have to prioritize, I put the stuff that I open the most and/or need good loading times for on the SSD and everything else on the hard drive

[rapid lake]

Too bad I got a prebuilt… now looking at the mess here and the… questionable choice of some parts I’m definitely building my own soon

[civic cloud]

Hell yeah 😎

[rapid lake]

Not even

[civic cloud]

Do custom watercooling

[nova steppe]

You can still swap it

[rapid lake]

Just RDR2, GTA, Valorant, CS, Payday….

That’s like 400gb right there

How slow are hdds?

[civic cloud]

Very

[rapid lake]

Might be faster to transfer games from hdd to ssd when I want than to download

[nova steppe]

Like, I'd put payday on the hard drive, as well as Val and CS especially if I'm running low graphics on purpose

[rapid lake]

Hell no too many nightmare stories

AIO looks cool

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

Or twin tower air cooler

[civic cloud]

Twin towers are out since 2001

[rapid lake]

Val takes forever to load on hdd I’ve tried

And CS I don’t play on "competitive" settings no

Still waiting to play payday with @thin turtle

[rapid lake]

Yeah but they look cool

[nova steppe]

Is that loading into a match, or booting up the game? If a game is just slow to boot for me, then I put it on the HDD, but if it benefits from an SSD while in game, then I put it there

[rapid lake]

How slow are we talking

If it’s like 100 megabytes/s I’m fine with that

[nova steppe]

My old aio was designed to be expanded, so if I got a new PC, I'd get a Contact Frame and and a res-pump and radiator

[rapid lake]

The game itself I believe, I don’t play it but someone else (my little brother) does

[nova steppe]

~150MB/s for 7200rpm 3.5in drives

[lost fossil]

your wallet receives a weight reduction kit

[rapid lake]

Faster than my internet

What’s reasonable price for a huge hdd

Like 4+ tbs

[lost fossil]

what are your options on the used market

[rapid lake]

Very limited tbh

But what should I aim for roughly

[brave field]

@lost fossil Have you come across any PSUs for a PC in the form factor of your LED strip one? I have some Bubalus 280W systems that need 120v replacements

[nova steppe]

If 2TB costs ~US$60 here, then I'd target <$135

[lost fossil]

i have not

[brave field]

I dunno if I should take the easy way out and use a converter, or rig together a picoPSU, or build something then

great cases, very few PSUs on the market though

[rapid lake]

Used or new that is

[brave field]

My other guess was to just use 120v anyways. Mine says 200-240, but pictures of the exact same model say 115-240

[lost fossil]

according to my calculations with 16tb drives costing 16k russian dollars, 1tb should = $13

[rapid lake]

Not bad

I also have another sata slot I can use

To think I was gonna go with a 256gb nvme

Good thing I didn’t cheap out

[sharp coyote]

[sharp coyote]

Psu models can have two excact same models

[lost fossil]

i would not use a converter bc i was fiddling with that led strip pc setup thing, i replaced the mobo with an aio pc one, it uses 19v input so i got a 12 to 19v converter and it trips under any load at all

[sharp coyote]

One is global and another is chinese

[lost fossil]

i probably got a shitty converter, but still, better not use any other than the psu itself

[brave field]

aw

I wish I knew the first thing about AC and if converting it has similar issues to DC

Perhaps I'll research another day

[thin turtle]

Aww

Lmk lmk

[nova steppe]

New. Used that would be a ripoff

[rapid lake]

Found 8tb for $100 lmao

Used 2tb "100% health" whatever that means for $15

[sharp coyote]

drive health

[rapid lake]

No way 😱

I mean obviously but I don’t know how they even measure that

[lost fossil]

8tb for 100 aint too bad

[sharp coyote]

Sensors

[quaint helm]

hdd?

[rapid lake]

Yes

[quaint helm]

thats a steal lol

[rapid lake]

Don’t think I need that much though, and I’m not dropping 100 buckaroos

2tb for $15 is good

Less risk too, no warranty on the 8tb

[quaint helm]

8tb can store like 50-60 Gta5 frfr

[rapid lake]

Or a whopping one GTA6

I expect it to be no smaller than 150gb on launch

Probably 200+ later on

[sharp coyote]

If one gta 5 is 93gb

Enchanced one

[rapid lake]

It’s more than that

113 or smth like that

[quaint helm]

more

[sharp coyote]

93.2 for me

[rapid lake]

Tf

[sharp coyote]

Legacy is 114gb

[quaint helm]

wth......ayo epic game is bias

[rapid lake]

I’m on steam

[sharp coyote]

Im on rockstar games

Both

Legacy and enchanced

[quaint helm]

ah ig thats why

my enhanced = 100gb (even if u sub the decimal = still 100) , legacy 122.6

[sharp coyote]

Dang

[lost fossil]

olegacy is bigger bc it has a lot of old data that was updated with updates (damn) since they can't delete old versions of resources when updating them

also the sound quality is better in olegacy bc in enchanted it's compressed to hell

[quaint helm]

make it uncompressed when

[brave field]

in enchanted it's compressed to hell
2000-2003 Xbox ports are back guys

[rapid lake]

Depress the sound ong

[twin badger]

I had a 250 GB boot drive, it was pain

It constantly filled up

[quaint helm]

who ask you to direct ur downloads to C drive

[twin badger]

Thats the thing, i didnt have shit on it

but it still filled up

Trust me, id know, because i went thru that drive with wiztree countless times

[stone apex]

3 versions for now...

[twin badger]

Overpriced ass GPU

[quaint helm]

1st : ok , 2nd : if u want a overclockable ram get gskill , 3rd just get patriot viper elite 5

[quaint helm]

theres only 6 white + 5060ti gpu available in pcpp lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xkwD4D/gigabyte-aero-oc-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-video-card-gv-n506taero-oc-16gd even this is cheaper + 8pin

[stone apex]

It's all about style.

[rapid lake]

No gpu with the first one?

[quaint helm]

msi card is style-less 💀

just a dragon there and maybe some rgb thats all

[stone apex]

Yes. For now.
Still thinking if I should green light the white build or semi white.

In like 1-2 weeks when I will choose the table I can finally make a decision.

And find viable case...

For now I have these 2 as at least normal cases.

That are not edgy fishtank.

But fishtank is also pretty cool thing if it will be a white GPU build, so you can admire it (if it will be on the table)/

[quaint helm]

those aint even a fishtank case 💀

[stone apex]

?

[quaint helm]

if u want to admire ur pc while its on table get like y60/70 , h9 , lianli 0 series but yeah u hate AIO

[stone apex]

Too much

Like actually too much...

[quaint helm]

3500x ig looks cool white case

[stone apex]

Not the design i want.

[quaint helm]

wht abt 3000d

[rose yacht]

just get a corsair 220t

[stone apex]

This might be the only fishtank I would consider, but y'all saying it has a bad cooling, so whatever.

[quaint helm]

too small for the gpu

[rose yacht]

which one

[quaint helm]

220t

[stone apex]

Oh yeah, I also don't wanna XXLATX sized case.

[quaint helm]

normal atx only ig?

[rose yacht]

i mean which gpu

[stone apex]

Scroll the chat.

[quaint helm]

gaming trio 5060ti

[stone apex]

ATX/mATX.

Not the giant case.

[rose yacht]

wouldnt 4000d suffice?

[tidal plume]

Still not loaded

[tidal plume]

Who would’ve thought

[stone apex]

[thin turtle]

Not me

[quaint helm]

[stone apex]

But the black design is kinda meh.

[rose yacht]

you going full white?

[stone apex]

I have black hybrid and white builds for now.

Considering what to choose.

[rose yacht]

you either go full black or full white build imo

hybrid might work, but idk

[stone apex]

[twin badger]

Style is reserved for higher budget builds than this imo

[stone apex]

Why?

[twin badger]

Because this is basically a 100$ markup for the card just being white

[stone apex]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/QDyhNz

[stone apex]

No?

It's the same price as a black one?

[twin badger]

I am talking about the cheapest 5060ti model vs the one you chose

[stone apex]

I don't wanna the cheapest one.

[twin badger]

Because?

[stone apex]

I wanna triple fan.

[twin badger]

its not that power hungry of a card

3 fan is cool, but not really a necessity for a 60 class GPU imo

[stone apex]

Better cooling is never bad.

[twin badger]

Also, i dunno about your region, but i've seen 5070's at that price point

But whatever

Since you are REALLY adamant with going with THIS particular card, it really doesnt matter

[stone apex]

16 gb is more expensive for 5070, and 12 gb might be not enough in the future.

Idk, I might do something like this

Oh

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/4Fhfgn

[twin badger]

You are gonna get raw performance issues with 5060ti before you run out of VRAM with it

[stone apex]

Why?

[twin badger]

Wdym why? It's a 1080p card

You are gonna be underutilizing its VRAM at that resolution

[stone apex]

It's QHD GPU.

[twin badger]

Mhm... for how long?

Since you are this worried about futureproofing, i wouldn't consider it a QHD card for that much longer

[stone apex]

For at least 3-4 years.

I'm not gonna play something like CyberPunk.

More lite games like PUBG gachas BeamNG + Adobe products.

[twin badger]

Ok, then 12 GB's should be sufficient

[stone apex]

For how big of a monitor?

[twin badger]

1440p

Especially for less demanding games

[stone apex]

Big. Not resolution only.

[twin badger]

?

Wdym big

[stone apex]

Inches.

[twin badger]

I mean... usually the sweet spot is 27 inches for 1440p, but monitor size doesn't matter here

[stone apex]

More pixels to work with.

[twin badger]

In a way that it doesn't affect performance if you went with 32 inches vs 27 inches

[twin badger]

Nope, not how it works, the actual resolution is the same

so its the same amount of pixels

its just that since the screen size is bigger, each pixel is bigger

and thus the PPI is worse

[lost fossil]

i dunno i don't have an issue with 27 1080

i mean sure the decrease in clarity between 1440 and 1080 is visible but if you're not working at csi then it's a non-issue

[snow gazelle]

Download some pixels

[thin turtle]

Text look blurry enough in FHD 24"

People recommend me a 22" when I ask about monitors for graphics design

[thin turtle]

It kinda make sense due to this

Maybe I actually need glasses. But who knows

[twin badger]

The difference is a bit more noticeable the closer the monitor is

[quartz kayak]

I hate hobbies

Tech related hobbies mostly

Bcs 3 days ago i was looking at 30 euro iems now im looking at 100 euro iems

And i found a really good deal on the 100 euro iems and now i gotta buy them

[lost fossil]

chu 2 and call it at day

[nova steppe]

Sharp enough for me
I've been using this 27" 1080p monitor as my main since Dec2018 and it's fine.
I used a 27" 1440p screen for about a year, and the main difference was TN to VA as opposed to 1080p and 1440p.

[nova steppe]

[thin turtle]

So I'm blind

Noted

[nova steppe]

[civic cloud]

Wdymmmmm there's a night and day difference between 27" 1080p and 1440p

1080p 27" is low-key shite

[nova steppe]

Main difference for me*

There, forgot the caveat

[civic cloud]

I've been outplayed

[junior flax]

I even found a massive difference from my 1080p 24 inch to 1440p 27

[rapid lake]

Wait till you see 32inch 1080p TV

[thin turtle]

Yes homie that's the point

You stay 5 meters away from that tho

[rapid lake]

Do I

It’s my main display as of now until I get a 24” 1080p monitor on sale

[thin turtle]

[stone apex]

Real.

For some reason you accept higher prices after some research and it's normal to you.

That's how I raised my phone budget from 300€ to 700€

[nova steppe]

That's what I started with when I got my first PC. Got the monitor later, but I used the TV as a monitor until I sold it

[rapid lake]

I never thought of selling it

It never occurred to me

What’s a fair price for a "smart" TV that’s 32"

Gsmart brand (never even beard of it)

Since when did TVs become so cheap

4K LED smart TV used is $180

[stone apex]

Same.
I was using old TV. Anyways they planned to trash it, but I took it for myself.

[lost fossil]

the evidence keeps piling up

[stone apex]

But yet it was looking pretty neat.
I like this boxy design.

[quartz kayak]

Im pretty sure im getting the truthear hexa

Just bcs of valorant and cs2

Everyone says they are the best for fps until the 200 eur mark

[twin badger]

I can say the same thing about watches

[stable delta]

That's not my fav number it's yours. Mine is 140

[upbeat spade]

you're just like me

how did i end up with blessing 3's

[upbeat spade]

on release, hexa was praised for being basically 80% of the blessing 2 for a third of the price

though, now truthear has come out with the nova which is basically cheap variations for a third of the price

variations>b2 and even b3, so nova must > hexa, but it's still like twice the price of the hexa so there's that

i hope they don't make variations 2 it'd be funny for the variations to be iem meta for five years

[cold elbow]

We have a 55 1080p TV

[rapid lake]

That you game on?

I thought about buying 4k but realistically what am I watching in 4k

[quaint helm]

is u really want a good cooling 5060t just get vanguard OC lol iirc its the biggest 5060ti

337 x 140 x 61

[civic cloud]

[quaint helm]

but yeah trio fan is overkill for 5060ti duo fan is enough , get a duo fan 5060ti + 2 high rpm fan like p12 max or antec nova

[tidal plume]

a TV is something you buy like every decade or 15 years like it wouldn't be stupid to spend on a high resolution and maybe even OLED TV if you can afford it or wait for cheap microLED

[civic cloud]

are there still TVs with less than 4K available?

by the time you get into the 1080p range you might as well just buy a monitor and add a google chrome cast or some shit

huh theres still some, crazy

ok they are 43" max

[thin turtle]

1078" TV

Crazy

[civic cloud]

Don't listen to gauss

But TV channels here don't use 4k

Let alone 1080p

[thin turtle]

That's not how this sentence work

"They don't use 1080p, let alone 4k"

You're making it seem like 1080p is the extreme case

[tidal plume]

it has RTX in the name and newest generation

must be good

[thin turtle]

It has 50 50 performance

[quaint helm]

50 50 fps

[lost fossil]

do they use 1080i?

Thats straight up hardware gore

[upbeat spade]

well, just see if it fits first

i wouldn't do this either

apparently the nozzle tapers down to 5.95 so maybe it'll be fine

i can't imagine people actually fit those 6.5mm and 7mm iems

[quartz kayak]

Arent the zeros actually bigger

[upbeat spade]

yeah they're 7

[quartz kayak]

😭

Whole centimeter iem stem when

[upbeat spade]

it'd have to be made of foam because you can't get an eartip around that

[quartz kayak]

Just straight stem into the ear

Like the samsung beans but deeper

@lost fossil u on?

Need some help

Just a quick question

Safe to remove that thing and check the part number?

And do you see anything concerning here or is everything normal

[thin turtle]

There goes the warranty

[rapid lake]

No warranty

[thin turtle]

Is this a used card

[rapid lake]

On the other fan I can see this number but idk if that’s the one

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

Yes?

[thin turtle]

Oh go on then

[lost fossil]

it's just there to prevent possible rattling between the radiator and the fan

Alright then

And the heatsink looks normal right?

[lost fossil]

yes

I want to clean it but using the hair dryer last time wasn’t very effective

Need me an air compressor

[lost fossil]

you can get canned butane/propane to dust it off

also known as canned air (wtf)

[rapid lake]

I know but

[lost fossil]

it's a shit option but if you do it once in a lifetime then it's alright

air compressor

[rapid lake]

Might aswell get a little compressor, just gotta find the right one

I have many uses for it

Anyways, thanks for help I’m gonna order a couple fans

Hopefully at least 1 isn’t broken on delivery

[lost fossil]

i'm p sure they're sold in pairs

[rapid lake]

I get 2 then

[lost fossil]

just in case?

[rapid lake]

[lost fossil]

no i mean you buy one item and you get two fans

[rapid lake]

I am saying I’ll get two pairs

I bought my monitor arm for my monitor but I’m guessing if it’s like this I’ll need an adapter plate right?

[cold elbow]

Cant see shit

[cold elbow]

But usually monitors with vesa mount support arms with vesa mount

That monitor doesn't look like it supports vesa

[quaint helm]

does ur monitor have vesa?

[wheat spruce]

It says on the site it does

[cold elbow]

That red circle

[quaint helm]

take this out see whether theres 4 holes

[cold elbow]

Maybe if you remove it

Then you will find 4 screw holes

[wheat spruce]

Ye

[quaint helm]

connect that to ur monitor arm plate the one that have 4 holes

[cold elbow]

There ya go

sandisk

just find some high storage space low speed ones

those high speed is for cameras lol

[wheat spruce]

That’s the thing? So I don’t need the thing

[quaint helm]

yeah it always come with the arm

else its just scam

corsair moment

[wheat spruce]

Oh lol so i can just screw it on the back?

@quaint helm

[quaint helm]

yeh

imo install the stand first , remove the vesa thing > screw the vesa to monitor and lastly attach the vesa back to the stand

[wheat spruce]

Ahh ok

[wheat spruce]

Using the screws from the monitor? Or some other screws

[quaint helm]

from the arm's

[quartz kayak]

did you ask ur pet to open it

im a fan

[wheat spruce]

No lol it was wrapped in about 3 layers of black bags, bubble wrap and the box

[nova steppe]

SD cards don't get psychically bigger with more storage. It's just standard "SD" size. If you get microSD, then that's when you'd need an adapter

You'll be fine

[brave field]

microSD for New models and SD for original models

micro will likely be much cheaper per GB.

[lost fossil]

SD cards don't get psychically bigger with more storage
would be funny if they did tho

[cold elbow]

They do

And faster

And these are still being used for cameras

[stable delta]

Sorry slip

[quaint helm]

cheapest micro vs sd (lets exclude those that have been removed on website)

i think now days for sd = most of them is for cameras

[tidal plume]

What’s the speed in the micro?

MICRO SD CAN HAVE A TERABYTE?!,!?!

[thin turtle]

Bro

Yes

[tidal plume]

Solid San disks are superior though

[quaint helm]

good enough

[upbeat spade]

sd cards have tons of capacity and speed now because camera technology has people shooting like 8k video and needing to transfer that in a meaningful amount of time

literally anything else you're going to be fine

[quaint helm]

i think this one is the best of the best in camera world now

[thin turtle]

So I should get sd card instead of a ssd

[upbeat spade]

need one (for my 1920x1080 jpgs)

[proper sundial]

intel i9 14900k is cheaper and slightly better than 9950x if we talk about overall reliability and multitasking but in gaming amd is a win win, always

[quaint helm]

128 L3 🤷‍♂️

[quaint helm]

true but rmb 1700 is dead

just look at what happened to snapdragon X laptop at the start most of them got refunded

[quaint helm]

maybe 5 years time to overtake intel for laptop cpu ig

[thin turtle]

Not even amd did that

[quaint helm]

overtake for best efficiency peformance and battery ig 🤷‍♂️

[thin turtle]

Arm processors do that

X86 are for desktop imo

You get better cooling and hence more performance

[quaint helm]

duo fan aint enough for laptop

[thin turtle]

Performance laptops are a flawed concept

Just don't

[quaint helm]

i feel like my laptop is suffering when i open like 8tabs on microsoft edge the fan spooling sound bhahah

[thin turtle]

Or maybe change how the laptop is built

Like reinvent it

[quaint helm]

hope they just make laptop bottm part = full of holes for cooling

[thin turtle]

It can't

The motherboard is too exposed

[quaint helm]

maybe some mesh 4 fans 2 for cpu and 2 for gpu die , 8 heatpipes

[thin turtle]

What about turbines

[quaint helm]

user must wear a noise cancelling earplugs to use it

What's the cheapest mic setup I can use

Like I just want to be able to talk in VC on PC

My earphones have 1 cable

And I don't think I want to buy a standalone mic yet

[snow rover]

does it have 4 poles on the cable

or the connector, rather

[quaint helm]

random 'gaming headset'

[civic cloud]

There's these cheap ass clip on mics that you can attach to your headphones

[snow rover]

that's a standalone mic

[rapid lake]

3

[snow rover]

oh well then you have to get a standalone mic

[rapid lake]

Wdym

Why is that

[snow rover]

because your earphones cannot have a mic with that setup

it's left right ground

[rapid lake]

So the issue is the earphones then

[snow rover]

you'd need a 4th pole to accommodate a mic

[rapid lake]

With poles you mean like

The white stripes on the connector

[snow rover]

not the white stripes

the shiny parts

[rapid lake]

What if I get one with usb

Instead of it having two cables

[snow rover]

ok those have a mic

[rapid lake]

Would that give it input and output

[rapid lake]

I mean yes it has a mic I can use it on other devices

[snow rover]

so is the issue that your pc has separate jacks for output and mic input

[rapid lake]

Yeah I guess

[wispy mesa]

where do you plug that in?

is it a desktop?

[rapid lake]

Yeah front IO

[snow rover]

then you get one of these

[rapid lake]

In the back there’s 3

[snow rover]

trrs to dual trs cable/splitter/adapter

whatever

[rapid lake]

Dunno if one of them works as both

[wispy mesa]

yea get one of those, but double check first the front IO has 2 slots right?

[rapid lake]

I see

Yea

One is mic the other is sound

[wispy mesa]

right ok

yea, what motherboard

[rapid lake]

?

[rapid lake]

It’s an MSI H-610 ms

Or something like that

[snow rover]

usb works

[lost fossil]

every gaming headset has a mic (kind of the point of a headset)
most of the time it's a shit mic

[quaint helm]

mcd drivethrough mic

[storm yew]

and also shit headphones

[twin badger]

[rapid lake]

Of course it has a mic

I’m saying does USB support input and output at the same time

you try to write more than 64gb to it and it's gonna kill itself

[mystic solar]

How ironic

bye bye $5

It has broke

[rapid lake]

Not one place has a splitter cable from female to male 3.5mm

And looking at headsets, atp buying a mic for $60 and using my trusty earphones which are comfortable for me and sound good is cheaper

[lost fossil]

not one local place, i assume? bc

[rapid lake]

I looked online too

[rapid lake]

And will take weeks no matter what because of customs here being slow asf

[lost fossil]

understandable

[rapid lake]

Being in the middle, or inside of a warzone doesn’t help

I might find some used mics for cheap

Blue yeti for $45

[lost fossil]

there have to be some small time computer shops around, right?

if there are any, they have to have these splitters

what's the word for a reverse splitter

[snow rover]

combiner

[rapid lake]

Yeah

I looked on the big time tech shops

Which usually have everything

They have the exact opposite of what I need

[snow rover]

because nobody uses desktop computers anymore

[lost fossil]

nobody except yours falsely

[rapid lake]

Pizza box computers?

[rapid lake]

Ah

Ugly

I saw a $60 hyperx mic last time I visited the tech store

[snow rover]

unsee it

[rapid lake]

Why tho

[snow rover]

at2020 is probably better for about the same price

[rapid lake]

It’s nice and small and hyperx has 2 year warranty on most things
