Hello all, I am planning on getting razer deathadder v2 pro but I have some questions that I quite cant research. First of all, does the mouse take longer to charge while you are using it? Can it take batteries or is it only charging via a wire? Does it have a good response/click time for gaming using the 2.4GHz (USB)? Can you charge the mouse while your computer is of f, do you get a wire in the box and finally where do you connect the wire that goes from the mouse to the pc or the 2.4 GHz USB you use to play wirelessly? Sorry if the questions are a bit idiotic or easy to reaserch but I cant find answers. Thanks 🙏

# outer fossil Hello all, I am planning on getting razer deathadder v2 pro but I have some que...

It it does a bit longer to charge while using it but not by any meaningful difference. It doesn't take batteries. It can either charge through the wire or if you have the dock then through the dock. There is no difference in the speed between wireless and wired. as for charging while your pc is off depends on your motherboard some ports support that while others don't. Yes you get a wire in the box it connects to the front of the mouse kinda tucked underneath it.

#

The 2.4Ghz usb plugs into whatever usb port you have open on your PC

outer fossil
#

Wow thank you so much.
Ive been wanting a wireless mouse but some say its slower. I dont think its the case with this mouse though. Thanks again for the usefull comments!

chilly ibex
#

If you're getting a wireless mouse from a reputable brand there is zero difference between wired and wireless

#

Bluetooth is the only exception

#

It's slower than wired

#

Gaming mice usually aren't bluetooth though for latency reasons you'll mainly see that in office mice

vivid ledge
#

Ever since some 3-5 years ago, wireless vs wired speeds have been negligible, if not wireless actually faster these days

outer fossil
#

So your saying that using the usb 2.4GHz on the pro and using the deathadder v2 wired is the same?

vivid ledge
#

Pretty much

outer fossil
#

👍

vivid ledge
#

Within a couple ms at the very least (Likely wireless v2 pro faster)

outer fossil
#

Yeah thanks a lot kan

#

Man*

#

Usefull information on my decision

vivid ledge
#

There's a really old LTT video that was really good on this topic, one sec

outer fossil
#

I mean if its really old is it still valid?

vivid ledge
#

Yeah on this topic it is

#

Since cable is cable, where as wireless can still improve

#

They are also using 2.4GHz wireless in this test too so still relevant tech in that sense

outer fossil
#

Yeah ok thats what I was referring to

#

Because you said its really old so if the topic is “is wireless faster than wired” then nowadays it is most likely faster

vivid ledge
#

Ye cos really wireless tech is just getting better

outer fossil
#

Yeah exactly

vivid ledge
#

The only way to go any faster is to get an 8K mouse

#

And those need a really good cpu

outer fossil
#

Do you think razer deathadder v2 pro is the best razer wireless mouse or I can get better mice from razer? (Wireless ofc)

vivid ledge
#

It depends what you want imo

outer fossil
#

I have a alright cpu with a good gpu so im settled

vivid ledge
#

From a mouse

#

If you want an ergo shape, DA V2 is pretty good

#

If you want lightweight for fps? Viper

#

Lots of on the fly controls? Naga

#

Underneath they all use similar tech

#

Choose more by features, ergonomics/shape and weight than by review imo

outer fossil
#

Yeah im just looking for a mice with good response time, click latency, buttons on the side and battery life all that

vivid ledge
#

I've used most Razer mice of recent

#

hey guys i just wanna check to see if my basilisk v3 is working as intended and was wondering if i could talk with someone in dms about it

outer fossil
#

I currently have the razer basilisk (wired) and its doing great in every aspect. Would you consider the v2 pro faster and better?

vivid ledge
#

Depends if you like the shape of a basilisk

#

If you're someone who's into that G502 style shape then there's nothing wrong with sticking to it, if anything refresh it with new glides imo

#

My favourite mouse tho has to be the viper v2 pro rn

outer fossil
#

I mean i am adjusted to the shape of a mouse like the v2 pro and basilisk but perfer a v2 pro shape as its lower and fits in my hand better

vivid ledge
#

I'm sort of on the other end of the spectrum I really like the lightweight feel now, I like the control feel, shape isn't a bother to me lol

#

Which sort of rounds me back to what I said before

outer fossil
#

Yeah i am also looking for a light weight for easier flicks and all that

vivid ledge
#

If you like it, then it should be good

#

One thing I could say, go to a pc store (or razer store if they're nearby) and try them out first-hand

outer fossil
#

I havent got the feel of it but i am certaint its going to fit excellently

#

I will tommorow since im not from the US and not fluent in english so some of the information about egronomics i didint quite grasp but I understand your suggestions! Thanks for the help anyway it was really useful!👍

vivid ledge
#

Np 👍

outer fossil
#

Well its me again and I forgot to ask one thing, does the mouse give you any signal of low battery or notification that you should charge it so I dont die in the middle of the game?

vivid ledge
#

Yes

#

They flash red iirc but the battery tends to last so long I never notice

#

Esp. the viper v2 pro it's like 12 days straight of battery life

outer fossil
#

When they say that the mouse has a battery life of 120 hours on bluetooth, do they mean by the mouse constantly being on and active?

vivid ledge
#

I would assume so, it's pretty long

outer fossil
#

Alright. Thanks again

true hearth
#

bought a basilisk v3 earlier and the LMB has resistance before the click when i use it, is that normal

vivid ledge
true hearth
#

yes

#

shall i send a vid?

vivid ledge
#

Return it with a receipt and get another copy, sounds like a qc issue

#

Basilisk v3's also have a tendency for scroll wheel issues so watch out for that on the next one

true hearth
outer fossil
#

Hmm looks weird, I have the same mouse (razer basilisk) and never had this issue. The LMB shouldnt take much force or feel like you are not actually clicking the button. If you have a receipt return it.

true hearth
#

okay thank you for that, i wasnt sure if that was normal

outer fossil
#

Mine dosent do that and never has, so I would say its not.

true hearth
#

ill use my spare mouse for now thats guys

#

wanted to see if id prefer basilisk v3 over viper ultimate

vivid ledge
#

Again, take it back and get a new one

outer fossil
#

If you have the receipt though.

warm junco
#

i got a razer kraken ultimate headset but when i plug it in it turns on briefly until it makes a pop sound and just disconnects completely and stops responding

#

and it wont connect again until i put it down for like a hour or more then it decides to turn on again

#

and i have to repeat that process

outer fossil
#

How long have you had it for?

warm junco
#

i just bought it

#

from a reseller on ebay

#

open box

outer fossil
#

I mean depends on how long he has had it

warm junco
#

i mean he didnt put pre own

#

he put open box

#

which means it was not used

outer fossil
#

I mean you never know but it might be a tech issue

#

Ive neved heard of it?

#

Did you pay the same price as you would if you bought it from razer?

warm junco
#

also it was a company

#

under a company name

#

not a personal

warm junco
outer fossil
#

No man I don’t buy from ebay amazon etc😁

#

You either got scammed or if the product is wired maybe its to do with that

#

Ill try find a reasoning for it

outer fossil
#

The. That could be the reason

#

How long does the headset last untill it stops responding and you have to wait a hour or so?

#

It may could be that the wire is loose or you could try uninstalling/reinstalling the synapse application.

#

Try uninstalling if you have it and see that way, if not reinstall it and see again.

#

Maybe wait for one of the administrators/moderator’s to respond to this as im sure they have a better reasoning

#

okay. i have a question. is the tartarus worth it?

#

ok bro

#

If anyone owns the razer v3 pro do you like it (i like it) if not what headset do you like

God damn how are you using that?

I’m not

That’s my point

im tryna build you something it will take me some time but this used laptop will probably be stronger if you can afford going overbudget to 500$ https://www.ebay.com/itm/295105869290?hash=item44b5ae35ea:g:cY8AAOSwAY1i2dwl

#

actually nvm i think i have something pretty competent

#

you can get a 2600 from ebay for like 60-70$

vivid ledge
#

Motherboard box for case

inner galleon
#

i assumed he was just gonna run it test bench style

#

a case is an unnecessary hotbox in this price range lmao

vivid ledge
#

Ikr

#

I would just grab an old desktop that's around imo like an old dell optiplex, stick a gpu in it like an rx 6600 and a new psu like an asus tuf bronze 550W

inner galleon
#

the EVGA thingy i picked is a pretty good price for 650w

vivid ledge
#

Yeah GA is alright, I think TUF is a little cheaper iirc

#

Maybe same

inner galleon
#

yeah idk i always work with high budget stuff

#

around 1200-2500$

#

tbh even on a budget i prefer picking parts that i find more reliable

#

case and point that is an EVGA dual fan 1650 super

#

could pick a single fan 1650 super but it wont be that much cheaper tbh

frosty snow
#

where can I find a sample of the Barracuda X's mic quality but on a wired connection?

inner galleon
#

its probably like every other razer headphone mic quality

#

aka youre better off going on ebay and getting a guitar hero mic or something

frosty snow
#

need hard data on this and i aint buying for me

#

barracuda x's mic is revised from the blacksharks, well at least the boom arm is

inner galleon
#

there

#

that exact time stamp

#

sounds clean tf

vivid ledge
#

It's meh mic quality tbh

#

I have one

#

But for the price? Good

#

I've definitely heard worse from more expensive

inner galleon
#

headphone mics are more for decoration rather than actual usfeulness tbh

#

if you have 200$ for headphones you have 5$ for a guitar hero mic lol

vivid ledge
#

The best headphone mic is a something like a modmic that never came with it

frosty snow
#

i already have shps and a boompro

inner galleon
#

the worst mic offender goes to the hypersense headphones when hypersense is on

frosty snow
#

im looking at options for the gf

vivid ledge
#

Seiren mini is good

inner galleon
#

or

frosty snow
#

inner galleon
#

any t.bone mic tbh

frosty snow
#

was looking at seiren x quartz for that reason

inner galleon
#

this thing is only 60€

#

and its basically the best for that price

frosty snow
#

gonna be used on a PC wired and on a quest 2 no mic wired, maybe on phone wireless without mic for music.

inner galleon
#

quest 2 built in mice as aight

frosty snow
#

and the barracudas are stable enough for VR

inner galleon
#

and on pc you can just use a regular good mic

vivid ledge
inner galleon
#

so i recommend picking better sound quality headphones

frosty snow
#

audiophile headphones within reasonable price are extremely unstable

inner galleon
#

yeah you never really tried too many

#

most of beyerdynamic's stuff will stay on your head without issues

frosty snow
#

and how much are those in their open back variants compared to an shp9500, new?

inner galleon
#

hell the reason i dont like the dt 1990 is because of how tight it is on my head

#

oh

#

you could get the opus

#

wired its nice in general and wireless its good for music tbh

#
  • it stays in place pretty well
frosty snow
#

i already have the opus and using it right now as im typing with a phone dac lmao, and not a good recommendation anymore as they stealth revised it.

#

i also use it for VR

inner galleon
#

the revision wasnt the best yeah

#

but its not bad still if you eq it properly

frosty snow
#

oh and the bluetooth on mine is borked lmao

#

wired-only now

inner galleon
#

F

#

i only use mine for going outside

frosty snow
#

maybe if i update firmware but havent bothered, i only use em wired even with vr anyways

inner galleon
#

so usually it sits around and i only charge it once every month or so lol

#

bluetooth is really bad on it for latency so its better if you dont use it wireless for vr lol

frosty snow
#

eh i use em only if i need the noise isolation

#

otherwise sennheiser game one

inner galleon
#

i should probably buy some decent headphones

#

rather than struggle with keeping my nari ultimate lol

#

tbh i never really use headphones for vr cuz nothing fits over the rift s's headband lol

hi all Im looking for some tips.
Ive got a Razer ripsaw with the PS5, Ive got picture but no sound in OBS. When I swap PS5 sound output to HDMI TV I lose the sound in my headset. Can't seem to get both headset and stream sound at the same time.
I have seen some stuff for wireless headsets, but I have a wired headset. I have a chatlink cable from PC to headset to controller. The same setup I have with xbox and works fine.
Any tips how to fix this and get both sounds working together?

inner galleon
#

plug headphones into the ripsaw

vivid ledge
#

Ah, I have this problem streaming off the ps5 using an elgato

inner galleon
#

elgato is a pain dead_qiqi

vivid ledge
#

Aim is right tho you can't split the audio

#

Or rather, it's like the ps5 won't let you do it

mild rune
inner galleon
#

might need an audio splitter cable

#

since theres a separate mic and headphone in

mild rune
#

yeah righto Ill give that one a crack

vivid ledge
#

I can't use a usb headset to my pc with the ps5

#

It just won't work conventionally

#

Cos then the stream sound is not there

inner galleon
#

i remember when razer used to include an audio splitter cable with some headphones lol

vivid ledge
#

An audio splitter cable is cheap if you can use aux

mild rune
vivid ledge
#

You could get a separate mic

inner galleon
#

guitar hero mic for 5$ does the job very well

#

its literally just some generic logitech mic and it sounds pretty decent all things considered

mild rune
#

i got a mic for streaming. So essentially, headset, which mic wont work. streaming mic, then another mic just for party. theres gotta be an easier way though right?

inner galleon
#

yes the easy way is you plug a 3.5mm mic into the ripsaw as far as i understand

#

basically this setup

nova cradle
#

why would you need a different pc for streaming

#

"guys i found a new way to throw away money"

inner galleon
#

okay let me show you just give me a bit to set stuff up :)

#

just gotta wait for this to finish lol

inner galleon
#

this is how it looks like when you try to record 4k with nvenc encoder thru obs when your gpu cant handle the game and recording at the same time

#

and if you try to use your cpu instead it will just come out all laggy and unusable even if the game runs fine

#

but yeah this is the main reason people would look for a dual pc setup just to eliminate the potential issues of your pc not being powerful enough to run the game and recording at the same time

#

tbh i could probably tweak obs to record 4k at an okay quality, but i can just use nvidia shadowplay and it tends to record 4k pretty well without much loss in visual quality

inner galleon
acoustic trout
#

my ripsaw wont play any sound

#

no matter the fix razer gives, nothing works

#

i checked and it takes my desktop audio just fine, it just wont accept the captured audio

acoustic trout
#

i can hear it from my capture card too, obs just wont accept it

inner galleon
#

so off the top of my head a few possible solutions

  1. try a different hdmi cable that you know works for audio well
  2. make sure your console has the correct audio out selected
inner galleon
#

? audio out as in where its sending the audio

#

like this on windows lol

#

on consoles its usually hidden somewhere pretty well

acoustic trout
#

it should be ripsaw audio right?

inner galleon
#

maybe im not sure what ripsaw has its audio stuff named as

acoustic trout
#

razer ripsaw and that didnt change anything

inner galleon
#

the cable could also be the issue

acoustic trout
#

swapped it already

inner galleon
#

broken ripsaw? lol

acoustic trout
#

it was literally working today

#

about 3 hours ago, opened obs and worked fine

#

i pressed 1 settings and it just died

inner galleon
#

what setting did you press

acoustic trout
#

capture audio only to directout

inner galleon
#

Thonk that could be the issue lol

acoustic trout
#

i swapped it back

#

and its still broke

inner galleon
#

i assume you restarted your pc and stuff already

acoustic trout
#

yessir

inner galleon
#

did you try it with other software apart from obs?

acoustic trout
#

ive tried with streamlabs obs and obs studio

#

tried with both and nothing

inner galleon
#

are the sound levels good in synapse?

acoustic trout
#

yep 100% on all of them

inner galleon
#

hmm

#

try going into settings

acoustic trout
#

synapse or obs

inner galleon
#

ill send some pics

#

and just add the ripsaw as a mic

acoustic trout
#

tried that

inner galleon
#

im kinda out of ideas tbh

acoustic trout
#

your guess is as good as mine

#

hopefully razer sees the ticket and patches it

inner galleon
#

oh

#

1 more thing you can try

#

going into windows sound settings and then devices

#

and then looking for the ripsaw mic out and trying to use the listen option to see if it has any sound at all there

acoustic trout
#

hang on

#

i might have found something

#

so ive found that the ripsaw hd hdmi mic for some reason breaks my capture card

#

actually from the looks of it its the v2

#

Its Tiamat yes but not sure if its 7.1 or v2

inner galleon
#

v2 is a reboot of the original

#

so theres tiamat 7.1 and 2.2

#

then theres the 7.1 v2 and 2.2 v2

#

i can tell by the headband tho that its the v2

magic saffron
#

The thing is, the volume thingy is what made me love it so much

#

Cause sometime I got to turn it on max to be able to hear other people

Even if I put their volume loud on discord

#

Like all the way up

inner galleon
#

#

300€ and it comes with something similar

#

but its very easy to save that tiamat if the only issue is the earcup

Can you have that volume thing in front of keyboard for example?

inner galleon

technically you could just use a small amp for the volume tbh

you pull off the current ones and put these ones on instead

#

the nari series fixed this issue by running a thick cable

magic saffron
#

Ohh

inner galleon
#

i assume the 7.1 has thicker cables than the 2.2 since there are more speakers to connect

#

there are some big earcups on other headphones too

#

honorable mention would be

magic saffron
#

Like what I hate with most of the headsets are they are made for big headed people

#

And my head aint that big

#

So like the earcups are dragging my ears or how to call it cus of the thing you have over the head is all the way down or how to explain it

inner galleon
#

i could recommend something thats very comfy for smaller head

#

but like i doubt you have 1000€ to spend on that

magic saffron
#

That is razer?

#

Lemme see?

inner galleon
#

its DCA Aeon 2

magic saffron
#

Oh so not razer

#

Sorry wont work

#

Everything I got is razer

#

Can't get anything else xD

inner galleon
#

headphones are worthy to not be razer considering razer's audio quality is very meh

#

and i say that while using razer

magic saffron
#

I think they quality good no?

inner galleon
#

not really

magic saffron
#

I mean its fit for me

#

But then again I am almost deaf on one ear

inner galleon
#

my average razer headphone lifetime was about 1 years

magic saffron
#

And the other one aint that better so

#

I had this headset for so long

inner galleon
#

the only one to break that pattern is the nari ultimate which i already fixed twice just this year

#

og kraken live for about 1.5 years

#

tiamat 2.2 v2 barely survived a month

magic saffron
#

Is it the cable or the sound you mean?

#

That make "razers quality bad for headphones"

inner galleon
#

the build quality and the sound

#

also all the headphones without removable cables also contribute a lot

#

since with the kraken the cable was the thing to break

magic saffron
#

I never had any problems with the cable

#

And I wont say I threat the cable that nice

#

Like I had turtle beach once... for a reason

#

And I had friends with razer with cable that never had any issues

#

That they break*

inner galleon
#

surely i treat my cables nicely

magic saffron
#

👀

inner galleon
#

it only gets caught in my chair about twice a day

#

cuz for some reason all the wheels are designed to eat cables

magic saffron
#

Now I wanna see what you gaming on and your whole gaming setup

#

And the chair xD

And is it two?

Is that the cabinet?

#

inner galleon
#

or do you mean my pc case

#

since its meant to look like multiple boxes stacked together

#

its pretty old

#

its a fun case with some small gimmicks

#

like you can lock the drive bays and the sidepanel

#

i have the drives locked rn so i dont accidentally disconnect any

#

used to be a cool feature back in 2012 so i could slide a drive out and just slot it into my friend's pc to share games and stuff with each other FeelsOldMan

And it looked like many boxes

Thats why I had to ask cus I got so confused

if voice control is on cable then make sure you didnt accidentally mute it

@mighty ivy if the best z690 boards are in the $500 range then that taichi is overpriced lol

It's also a 4 dimm z690 which in another sense, automatically makes it mid-tier

#

Yeah, I don't know much about motherboards

#

Didn't really think they had anything to do with performance

#

More or less just thought it came down to compatibility

inner galleon
#

my favorite boards are asus's stuff

#

ROG maximus z690 extreme is the highest end asus intel board (1200€ lol)

#

ROG maximus z690 hero is also on the high end its like 650€

#

strix is high mid end

#

tuf is mid

#

and prime is low

do you have 1 or 2 cables connected

using a Y splitter for 3.5mm jacks is sometimes basically required and even if it should work its safer to just split it anyway

#

the blackshark v2 pro's sidetone is too quiet, any idea how I can fix it? In synapse both the sidetone volume and the headset volume are at max, and so is the knob on the headset

#

tried editing the .synapse3 files but that did not work

#

I feel like I have to raise the sidetone past 100 because it's still too quiet

inner galleon
#

switch to voicemeeter is one fix

#

you can get the latency down on it pretty easily in my tests it was 20-30 ms but i didnt really change much

stray skiff
#

20-30 ms seems like a lot for sidetone, how does that compare to synapse sidetone?

inner galleon
#

Ishrug never used synapse sidetone never needed it

#

its always gonna have latency tho cuz the audio will go thru your pc and back to your headphones

stray skiff
#

ok but I like sidetone, and synapse's sidetone has zero delay

inner galleon
#

if you dont want latency use a hardware solution

stray skiff
#

the wired headsets don't seem to have that issue

inner galleon
#

Ishrug tell razer to fix it

#

they wont

vivid ledge
#

Kingpin is only $500 tho so like, anything higher than that is a waste

inner galleon
#

extreme is the highest end technically tho

#

the difference between extreme and apex from what i can really see is just the amount of fan headers

#

going that high end doesnt even make sense in the first place unless doing extreme oc tbh

#

staying with the "mid/high" end strix is plenty usually

#

actually nah now that i look at it

#

the extreme is better for general use

#

apex is better for oc use

#

to be fair to me, i consider the best to be the best for general use not the 1% high oc use lol

vivid ledge
#

If we were to talk what's practical for the normal user imo ddr5 is just simply not worth

vivid ledge
#

Good kit of ddr4 on as much as a $200 board for Z690 is more than enough to do everything the normie needs

inner galleon
#

ddr5 is so random rn

#

unless youre paying 600$+ for 16gb ofc lmao

#

honestly ddr5 needs another 2 or 3 cpu generations before it becomes optimized but ddr6 is already in the works

#

so ddr5 might end before it could even begin

vivid ledge
#

Next-gen it's starting to look pretty optimised

#

The IMC is apparently upgraded for 13th gen

#

And new ddr5 just releasing now that does like 7800 MT/s at decent timings

stray skiff
#

did razer patch out the ability to edit .synapse3 files

Question on the Viper Ultimate and Viper 8khz.
I really like the ambidextrous mice, but I need a mouse that has side buttons on each side, so the new V2 Viper is off the list.

I wanted to know what people's thoughts were on the 8Khz coming from the Viper Ultimate. Are the second gen switches worth giving up wireless for if I don't plan to use it at any higher polling rate than like 1 or 2k?

inner galleon
#

8khz is objectively better

#

just because they dont sell you a 30$ dongle after the 150$ mouse to use youre high refresh rate mouse at high refresh rate

#

the dongle you can put on your desk closer to your mouse is a step in the right directly and selling it for 30$ instead of having it in the box is just shooting yourself in the foot

#

i personally dont really like wireless mice since i always struggle with wireless tech whenever i use any

#

also the old viper ultimate is only 1000hz

#

the v2 viper is 4000hz at max

#

if you like wireless mice and you dont want to use 8000hz just get the ultimate

hi guys, don't know where to find help so i'm asking here 😦
is it normal that i have those drop in game ? it's nearly on all of my games and i don't know what to do (i already reset my pc)
i've got a rtx 3080, ryzen 7 2700, 16gb ram, and 750w alimentation
i'm playing in 4k also
i know that my motherboard is clearly not the newest one, i'm gen 3, and the speed of my ram is capped at 2333

nova cradle
vivid ledge
#

That fps fluctuation is kinda sketchy too

#

I wonder, have you ever done a bios update on your motherboard?

#

Up to B350/X370 you can safely pick the latest bios and it'll bring a boatload of stability imorovements

#

You will also be able to run your ram at 3200 or whatever your XMP is as well, most likely

lean badge
#

thanks for the fast answer ❤️
i've got a b450 and i saw on internet that amd don't preconise to do the last bios update with those cpu
i didn't update the motherboard my self, but it should be done
and for the ram it's my motherboard that can't go further than 2333 for 4 slots

vivid ledge
#

Yeah the more recent bios updates breaks compatibility iirc with b450 and ryzen 2000

#

But if you can find a semi recent one on the website that you can confirm works @lean badge it'll be worth it

#

You get stability improvements and better ram compatibility with bios updates on ryzen

#

So faster ram, less stuttering and less crashes

# obsidian vessel quick question, i am going to buy a rtx 3080 ti and bumped into some weird stuff...

The manufacturer does matter for reliability, customer support and overclocking. But you should stay away from the small brands and Gigabyte. Usually a good gauge is going with a reputable brand (Like Asus, MSI, EVGA) and not cheeping out on a GPU in that price bracket or going all out either (if your budget doesn't allow you). But with that said you can still buy a lower tier GPU from a reputable brand if it looks better than the higher tier variant or if you don't care about the 2-3% performance boost that comes with a factory overclocked one.

hi any chance I can be directed to feedback and support, spent last 3 hrs in a loop of the website

in regard to hammerhead srs 2

chilly axle
#

Hammer head true wireless srs 2, recent purchase.
I found that it seems it is not for pc gamers but phone gamers only, this needs to be the headline of the description as this is seismically misleading for PC gamers.

In a support post I read that "what pc headphone has ANC?" as a reason for why it is clearly a mobile only. Well (the large majority hear gaming mode and think PC) probably a person that wants a single pair of headphones that are functional for phone and then gaming on a real platform. (I mean who the hell is audio latency worried unless it is a FPS and again who the F is playing FPS on mobile?)
So a company for gamers by gamers thinks that the need for low latency sound is for mobile and not PC?!?
I think the delusion comes from the idea that a person uses one set of headphones per device. Yeah if so, then why not spend 1/5 of the price and buy 3 wired headphones for each device.
I specifically was interested in finding a solution to cables, but I am not interested in the minimum 150-300ms lag when playing halo (gaming mode unable to be activated on a pc). I am not an audiophile but I notice it to the point of distraction.

Also I would like to express my significant displeasure with the feedback and support apparatus that was provided by Razer. I was not hyperbolic in that I attempted to find solutions and to provide feedback for multiple hrs. In fact In my time zone I started having issues at 2100 and it is now the next day 0545.
I must admit I became angry. This is not my usual character and I do regret it.

Hey, so I have a razor viper mini and until recently it started to randomly disconnect on and off, and sometimes I'm not able to move the cursor despite the mouse still being lit up. Now I restarted the pc and the mouse turned on but I can't move the cursor and if I disconnect and reconnect the mouse it no longer lights up.
Don't think this is an issue with my computer as the same thing happened on another one of my laptop
The only thing I tried was uninstalling razor synapse but that did not work
Any help?

#

yeah, a320m works but it's also for not a lot of power

#

but just fyi you don't need to change it

#

if you pick a 5600 or 5600X you won't need to

#

hey hey

#
  • waves over here *
#

lol

#

5600/5600X use the same power draw

#

so you can use it on an A320m all the same

#

which a320m is this btw?

upper hill
upper hill
vivid ledge
#

it looks like a 4 phase vrm board. It's a budget board and it'll get a bit hot but a 5600/5600X draw the same amount of power regardless so you should be fine especially if you're using the stock cooler (It pushes air down over the VRM's to keep them cool) so it'll work it just won't be completely ideal

#

3200G and 5600/5600X all are 65W CPU's @upper hill

#

but I wouldn't go higher than that, consider your next upgrade to a good B550 after that

upper hill
vivid ledge
#

cos long term? A320-m pro e idk if it's built to last

#

yeah you could honestly

#

it's not ideal cos the board is bare minimum but it'll work

#

has a 4 phase vrm but a vrm with doublers by the looks of it

#

it's definitely a bit of a copium board

upper hill
vivid ledge
#

if it did it wouldn't happen any time soon lol, nor in any way you think it would

upper hill
#

I don't know anything about PC and stuff and idk who to talk to so I really thought I can't upgrade further than what I already have.

vivid ledge
#

i mean who said you can't?

#

was it someone who just laughed when they heard A320?

#

because they don't know mobos if they did

#

you can run 5900X's and 5950X's in some A320's

#

it's not a good idea but it works

upper hill
vivid ledge
#

yea because most people run b550's or x570's or b450's with 5600X's and such, but if the power draw is the same on each chip it's fine

upper hill
#

I searched 2nd gen AMD processors and welp, I thought you can't go further than that in this board.

#

oh true the bios compatibility

#

hang on lemme double check that

upper hill
vivid ledge
#

interesting

#

EDIT: it's a compatible bios below

#

It's a really recent bios too

#

like a month ago

#

a320's were enabled ryzen 5000 support so this is a good sign but I can't be 100% sure

#

ah here we go

#

yes

#

it does support ryzen 5000

#

yup it's on the mobo page

#

so what you need to do @upper hill is to update bios right before you install the new CPU

#

then put the new cpu in and away you go

#

strongly recommend 5600 or 5600X. Both are basically the same, just pick the cheaper one

vivid ledge
#

I wouldn't go up to a 3060 from a 1660ti

upper hill
vivid ledge
#

np

#

just remember to use the stock cooler

#

with the 5600

#

it'll blow cool air over the vrm (Or even just warm air) and that helps mobo's like these run these cpus

#

to explain what I mean by vrm it's the little chips surrounding the cpu on the motherboard

jagged violet

vivid ledge
#

wouldn't change to a 3060 or 3060 ti from a 1660ti imo

jagged violet
vivid ledge
#

that's not really an upgrade of performance

#

that dell's motherboard is probably holding you back more than the GPU is

#

dell has infamously used terrible quality motherboards on their systems lately, especially on their Alienware desktops. XPS' aren't really an exception to that rule

jagged violet

#

I would change the psu if it's possible to and go to a 3070

#

for VR

#

VR can be really demanding

jagged violet
#

Ok

#

Thanks

vivid ledge
#

definitely change both not just 1

#

PSU's in these pre-built PC's are made to run the bare minimum

#

it might be a decent psu? sure, but they won't have headroom for more power hungry GPU's @jagged violet

Question, does anyone here have good knowledge of HDDs and storage in general? Mostly on the hardware part of it. While the solution for the issue is probably simple and my own solution would be fine, I want to learn a bit more about it so I can make optimal decisions in the future as well

vivid ledge
#

Unless you're asking about like, unraid or big storage solutions like a NAS, not really me

tiny sail
#

I guess it's part of the question but perhaps you can at least help me half way

#

I'm looking for some help with a new HDD.
Maybe I'm overcomplicating things but I'm looking for an HDD to store 1440p video recordings (and to access for editing later). They are generally 40GB per vid roughly so my current 2TB Seagate barracuda filled up decently fast.
Now I don't think I have the money to build up a whole nas/server unless that's a lot cheaper than I think they are, so I just want one to add to my pc (it has like 5 more free bays).
Now I don't know much about HDDs and whether CMR or SMR matters in my case. Are speeds lower than 7200rpm fine as well? Is cache important? Are there things or brands I should absolutely avoid? Do you have a better and/or perhaps cheaper solution?
I don't have an exact budget, but the absolute max would be 200 euros (Netherlands / Germany stores). Though if there's no reason to spend that much, I would rather budget it more to like 100 euros. If necessary I can also just upgrade every couple of months when it starts to fill. However, if it's a dumb idea, then I can also perhaps try to save more money and just get a simple extra 2TB drive to last me for a couple of months.

vivid ledge
#

@tiny sail I know enterprise drives are more handy for this sort of thing like WD Reds or Seagate Exos

#

But truth be told relatively cheap HDD's like the regular barracuda are fine for the normal person

#

Unless this is like a daily thing where you're scrubbing and editing a lot of 1440p video I wouldn't worry too much about it

#

Otherwise, I would actually consider a decent SSD like a gen 3 nvme (sk hynix p31?), Record to that, edit on that nvme, then shift it all over to the HDD when you're done

#

That way you get the good speed of an nvme and you can use a relatively affordable HDD to store it when it's all done

vivid ledge
#

That is if the pc has a second nvme slot

#

If not you could use a crucial MX500 with a seagate barracuda to store it when you're done

#

Cos editing on a HDD you're gonna notice the speed difference going to a good ssd

tiny sail
vivid ledge
#

The software is one thing but the file itself on the nvme will make a difference

tiny sail
vivid ledge
#

Oh then you could do like a mp33 512gb and a 2tb barracuda to store the rest

tiny sail
vivid ledge
#

Ye

#

Cos then you get the random access perf of the nvme

#

Video scrubbing should be a lot faster

tiny sail
vivid ledge
#

Oh well then give that a try and see if it's a little bit better

tiny sail
#

Seeing as I move it to the HDD afterwards anyways

vivid ledge
#

Cos then you can just grab another hdd if you need more space later

#

As far as the whole cmr vs smr thing, I'm not too privy to it all, but I do know that you want a decently fast ssd for big video edits

tiny sail
#

Well with my current Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm I had no problem editing, so I don't think the speeds are an issue, but they might be when I go lower than that?

vivid ledge
#

Which 7200?

#

Just a regular barracuda?

tiny sail
#

Yeah

vivid ledge
#

That's a pretty normal HDD lol

#

Some 5400's can keep up with it

#

Higher RPM ≠ always better

tiny sail
#

Yeah it's a normal one and the cheapest 7200rpm. But bought before I was planning on editing and such

vivid ledge
#

Sustained performance also is a big factor for storage

tiny sail
#

I see

vivid ledge
#

So like you'll get that peak speed and it's really fast for like 5 minutes? Then it might slow down as it self manages be it through heat or something else like the small files it's writing

tiny sail
#

Right right

vivid ledge
#

I can recommend 3 options for an extra nvme, MP33/A60 at the low level, p31 at the mid level, P41 at the high level

#

P41 is like born for 4K video editing

tiny sail
#

How about cache, what role does that play here?

vivid ledge
#

Not really got a clear answer for that one sorry lol

#

Some nvme's are dramless so no cache

#

The p31 and p41 will both have cache tho

#

Actually

#

Cache in that sense will improve the reliability of the drive

#

But that's mainly for like, the drive you stick your windows on. Helps keep the install stable and reliable. Idk how much of a role that'll play in video editing

#

tbh

#

Mp33 and A60 are both dramless just for note

tiny sail
#

Right. My current nvme drive is a crucial p1. So nothing fancy but not bad either

vivid ledge
#

P1 a bit meh lol

tiny sail
#

I mean it's nothing fancy as I said but it's not bad. It got the job done for the past 4 years without me complaining about it

vivid ledge
#

P1 is similar performance to an MP33 or A60 so you'll get a good idea of what having another one dedicated to video editing would be like

#

Not calling it bad, it's a decent budget drive

#

Past 4 years...sounds like a pcie gen 3 system

#

P41 prolly wouldn't work fully

#

Just stick to p31

tiny sail
#

Got x570 mobo so gen 4 is possible

vivid ledge
#

Oh ok

tiny sail
#

I upgraded the mobo later than when I got the nvme, I can understand the confusion 😅

vivid ledge
#

All good

#

X570 is not a bad idea if you do video editing because this is exactly where a second ssd is useful lol

tiny sail
#

Lucky me then :p

#

Well thanks a lot for the help! You brought me a lot of new wisdom, so I'll check out the SSDs you mentioned and then I can decide for myself
