My previous vs new streaming setup. Pc is still the same but it's going to be upgraded later this year hopefuly 
#I upgraded my pc desk finally :)

Good upgrade
Thanks 
I might replace my mouse with a wireless version next month. Would be cool to get rid of this cable 
calm marlin
I dunno, i dont like wireless
finite goblet
My mouse is Glorius Model D and I like it a lot as it fits my huge hand. There is a wireless version of it. If it got identical shape it can be a good choice for me.
I tried out Logitech G Pro Wireless a few years ago and I didn't like it because it was way too small and a bit on a heavy side.

I've just finished undervolting the 13600K 
What is very interesting is that this cpu draws about 160W in CinebenchR23 on default. I was expecting 180-190W instead
Max semi-stable undervolting I achieved was -0.115V so I set -0.1V offset and called it a day. Power draw dropped from 160W to 140W and temperature from 85°C to 75°C

whats the gpu in the system

whats the gpu in the system
None 
I have 2070 Super atm which is great for my 1080p setup but I didn't plug it in. At least yet.
I'm planning on selling it with my old pc and buying a new Nvidia gpu. I know prices are crazy but I need a Nvidia for their new AV1 Nvenc codec because I like to stream games
For 1080p 4070 or 4070 Ti would be great but 12 Gb is a bit concerning so I'm considering 4080 - I would upgrade monitors to 1440p next year maybe.
With 4080 I would live in peace up to 4-5 years maybe 
Also: I can't finish the build this weakend because I'm waiting for a new pc case that should come on Monday.
finite goblet
Damn... way better idle values than my old 4790K 
My room temperature is 27C and cores are just a few degrees warmer with igpu working
With Fortis 5 cooler that is a low budget one 
However... there is only one weird thing abou temps. idle temps are even lower with default settings. Undervolting decreased max temp by 10C but it actually increased min temps by about 3C.
Maybe if undervolt is too aggressive, motherboard increases voltage at idle to not crash the system 
finite goblet
So the case is Fractal Meshify 2 Lite. Inside there is:
13600k
Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X
64 Gb DDR5 5600 Mhz CL36
NVMEs:
- Kingston KC3000 2 Tb as a system drive,
- KC3000 1 Tb for files and videos,
- GoodRam PX600 2 Tb for games
BeQuiet System Power 10 750W
Gpu: 2070 Super MSI Gaming X (for now)
PC case fans are going to be upgraded soon to Arctic P14 PWM
I might add 1 led strip and set it to white later
calm marlin
Nice specs, new gpu when ?
finite goblet
Nice specs, new gpu when ?
When I'm not broke 
Maybe next month.. will see. For now 2070S is enough for older games at 1080p
I had less than 100 fps in Far Cry 5. Now with the same card 140-180 fps
calm marlin
Neat
finite goblet
2070 Super is only a few % slower than 3060 Ti.
calm marlin
Ik, but its cursed having a 13600k whit a 2070
finite goblet
Only in gpu heavy games. In games like Far Cry it's more balanced.
Buying 4080 is a bit dumb in my case because 1080p resolution is gonna bottleneck the card. For maxing out 1080p, 4070 Ti would be perfect. However 12 Gb is a bit concerning - not for now but future
calm marlin

Why not take an amd card?
calm marlin
But why not get a capture card and a amd card for camping
Gaming
Or just use the 2070 for it
finite goblet
All of it it's additional cost.
Streaming with a single gpu is very comfy.
I don't want to have a 2nd card or capture card in the same pc. It would draw more power as well.
I'm limited to 750W afterall.
Besides I've being using GTX 1070 and 2070 Super for streaming for years and it never dissapointed me. You don't change something that works good.
If I was gaming and not streaming I wouldn't mind trying out Intel Arc or AMD. But for video editing and OBS I would rather choose Nvidia even though it's overpriced.
calm marlin
Thats fair
finite goblet
Prices are not fair though
I will wait a bit more. High-end cards are slowly dropping prices. A few weeks more and 4070 Ti or 4080 might drop price again by 50-100 Euro maybe if we will be lucky.
The cheapest 4080 that cought my attention is about $1400
European prices are nuts...
finite goblet
I replaced case fans with these.
*Non rgb fans
Now it's much more silent finally.
finite goblet
I didn't hit silicon lottery. CinebenchR23 crashes at 5.4 Ghz 
P cores: 5.3 Ghz and E cores: 4.2 Ghz is stable
finite goblet
Oh nvm... offset sucks anyway. Fixed voltage is better
finite goblet
Ah nvm... 5.3 Ghz runs too hot. I can slightly undervolt the cpu at 5.2 only It's crazy that some people are able to get 5.5 Ghz at 1.2V. I can't do even 4.4 Ghz at 1.2V

i love fractal cases tbh
finite goblet
i love fractal cases tbh
I do love it as well. Wasn't convinced to white color but now I can tell it was the best decision.
Say hello to 4070 Ti
My 2070 Super vs 4070 Ti
It's unfortunate but I can't mount the holder because 1 middle hole in the mob is plugged by the case. That's the only downside of this case basically lol
So I have to buy a different one seperatly Temporary solution: 
I hate that the power plug is so far away to the left. I didn't have this problem with 2070S
Yeah I'm using the forbidden power adapter but I'm going to be fine. It's mostly 4090s that caught fire. Not 4080 or 4070Ti. I plugged the connector correctly and didn't bend the adapter too much.
The biggest downside is just the look but I don't have a modular power supply so it is what it is
If I would connect cables from the bottom it would look nicer I guess but this would force stronger bend on the adapter and this wouldn't be great.
idk..

Btw. I tested Nvenc chips. I lose barely 5-10% of performance while streaming at 720p60 and recording upscaled video 1440p60 in the same time. I could record at 4K60fps as well no problem but it takes more space on a drive 🙂
finite goblet
It ain't perfect... but it's working. I added 5 more fans to improve airflow while still keeping low rpm

Thanks. Coming from 4790K and 2070Super was quite a jump. However I'm even more happy with the desk 🙂

I would argue. Desk made the biggest difference in my opinion 🙂
But chair looks really great for sure and it got more ergo options than the previous one.
I didn't just change the desk but renovated the whole room a little bit: new bed, painted walls.

Btw I did a mod for a cable holder from IKEA. I made an extension that increased distance from the desk 🙂
But... it doesn't mean that I'm good with cable management. I'm not
Well... at least there are less cables on the floor 
And you don't see it anyway.

Definitelly better than Secretlab's when it comes to lumbar support. I appreciate the lack of racing shape. Straight, flat, simple shape is the best.

It was a great card for 1080p. Gonna miss it actually.

You won't find it as it is a custom desk I ordered at local carpenter and I mounted it to a frame that I found in net :>

i think personally 65 depth is enough for me but more depth is nice

As I'm using 1080p monitors I wanted to increase the distance from them so 80 cm is perfect for it I think. 90 cm would be great as well.

I heard that americans move from one place to another quite often - not everyone but a lot of them. If you move a few times during your lifetime it makes a lot of sense to build or buy houses that are cheaper, easier and faster to build.
