How important is it to update your TVs firmware? I don't connect mine to the internet at all or use any of the smart tv features

void perch Apr 19, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

Generally not that important unless you're experiencing an issue that the firware says it fixes, but not a bad idea to do an update every year or two. I don't think tv's release firmware updates often so shouldn't be a big bothersome

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

i would be able to tell if i act4ually got good release notes

#

there seems to be a new update about every month, and every time ive checked this year the update notes say "Improved usability"

#

what the actual fuck

void perch Apr 19, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

hahaha. in that case then I'd say if you are experiencing an issue with the tv such as lag or something then give the update a try. if it's easy to do the update then can do more frequently but every 6-12 months wouldn't be a bad idea.

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

also there is no way to downgrade the firmware if you are unhappy with it

#

this is why all software needs to be open source

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:20 AM

dont buy a samsung tv, dont be stupid like me

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

i feel like choosing to call this a QLED tv is deliberatly misleading and attempts to confuse people into thinking its OLED

#

i almost feel bad for dinging them because its an ok product as i said, but they have lost goodwill with the marketing

#

ALL the tv manufactures have given the middle finger to consumers by actively fingerprinting whats on the screen and stealing this data

#

i'm supposed to be a capatilist right, well obviously they and me both recognize this data has value

#

right now they are stealing it and not cutting me it on the profits

old patrol Apr 19, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

whats this about

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

all modern TVs identify what you are viewing on the screen and send the data back to the manufacturer

#

the manufactrure sells the data to marketing firms

#

the only way to stop this is not connecting the tv to the internet, which means not being able to use a good part of the functionality that you paid for

#

i would buy a TV without the smart features but they dont sell such a device

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

A TV without smart features, you say?

#

What kind of smart features?

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

what are you even asking

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

You said smart features, I don't know what kind of smart feature there would be except Roku and one of those TVs that give you ads every milliscecond

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

a baseline example would be a netflix 'app' built into your tv

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

Ah

#

So it comes with programs pre-downloaded and it's pretty fucking shit?

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

i cant do anything with my tv that would be enabled by connecting it to my home network, because enabling this connection REQUIRES you accept that they spy on you

#

casting a phone screen, streaming from my PC over wifi etc.

#

the simple fact is this is a product that i bought, and i cannot control what it does

#

i either accept EVERYTHING or i dont use 90% of the software features that are built-in

#

and good luck finding a tv to purchase without these features that isnt cheap chinese junk or about 15 years old

#

US privacy protection laws need an overhaul

#

this kind of 'either dont use our service/product or we will siphon every datapoint we can get our hands on' is BS

#

i take this silence as a form of agreement

#

lol i guess that's exactly how they get away with it, not enough people saying they disagree with their anti-consumer practices

thats on the high end of the range

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

500$?

#

I swear the TVs with the "Smart blah shit" should have a dumb premium lol

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

all the "smart blah shit" absolutely adds cost to the product

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

To how much?

#

Because I haven't owned a TV in such a long time

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

i can only guess, probably 15-20% of the price

#

you have additional computer hardware included in the device, and all the software development and upkeep costs

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

So about 500-600$ then?

#

Ok so there's one for 150$

#

That's surprising tbh

#

yeah good example look at the rokus and equivalent, the modern tvs essentially have that built in

molten acorn Apr 19, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

California does it right.

#

But we need to implement that everywhere else

lilac geyser Apr 19, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

they are moving in the right direction, but no one goes far enough with the privacy protections at the moment

#

right now to most people, all those cooking and privacy warnings only mean one thing to the consumer: "something happened and you need to click OK to continue"

#

oops i meant cookies

#

service providers need to be prohibited from collecting that data altogether

#

you cannot just tie in some warning "please click to continue" and say "well the consumer agreed to it"

someone please explain

and if it a "x" is that mean my file is ok or what

livid gust Apr 19, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

they're OneDrive sync indicators. check mark means it's downloaded locally, cloud means it's available online so OneDrive will download it when you want to open it, an x would mean that either your OneDrive is full or you're offline so that file can't be synced

I drooled over a 780 Ti some time ago, like some holy grail. Few years later got a 1060 6GB which is nearly identical in games but with less heat and cheaper.

#

If you pursue it, you can get pretty close to a 2080 Ti or better in a few years too.

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Yeah

#

Probably a 4070/4080 could beat a 2080 Ti

#

Seeing how it might go, I probably will just skip the whole RTX 3000 series altogether and get an RTX 4080 maybe

Unless my 2070 Super decides to die on me or anything that's irreversible

The 2080 Ti isn't really that impressive to me anymore lmao, since the 2080 Super seems to be an even better card to get

rapid plume Apr 19, 2020, 6:52 PM

It’s cheaper, that’s the only good thing, otherwise it’s inferior in every other way

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 6:52 PM

Not inferior, no

It's got a higher clock

rapid plume Apr 19, 2020, 6:52 PM

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 6:54 PM

2080 Ti has like

#

1545-1635 boost clock

#

14Gbps Memory speed

#

Then 2080 Super has 1815 boost, 15.5 Gbps mem speed

#

Sure, not a lot

#

But it's still much better imo

merry bay Apr 19, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

A 1080 Ti already is enough for quite a number of modern games to run at 4K 60fps almost reliably with setting tweaks. A 2080 Ti can squeeze you a couple more very gradual settings with more reliable fps.
You pay a lot more, but don't really get that much of a difference in results.

You don't enter higher refresh rate territory yet, you don't get ultra settings either.

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 6:55 PM

It sounds stupid, but imo the 2080 Ti is just s stupid card to get haha

I haven't seen a single Gsync on 1440p 144hz, but I know it'll do it's job nicely

Gsync is miniscule on monitors I've seen, only barely a few have it on 1440p 144hz

I can also blame it on that I want to see if I can get our times down when building gtfo 😉

eternal cairn Apr 19, 2020, 7:17 PM

Only reason I'm looking for G-Sync compatibility is because Freesync could be used on my Xbox.

eternal cairn Apr 19, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

I've seen people complain that G-Sync either didn't show up when configuring their monitor or it didn't work at all.

#

This is with the "compatible" monitors.

fleet canopy Apr 19, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

"The first monitor we tested was the Acer KG251QF, a budget 24-inch 1080p monitor with a 30 to 144 Hz refresh rate range. This is a great monitor for the price and it’s safe to say we found no issues with the monitor working with adaptive sync enabled on an Nvidia GPU. No flickering, no blanking, nothing. It worked exactly the same as when hooked up to an AMD GPU. So that’s a success."

#

"The second monitor was the BenQ EL2870U, a 4K 60Hz panel with a narrow 40 to 60 Hz refresh rate range. This monitor also worked perfectly, although the refresh range is too narrow to support low framerate compensation, or LFC. So when frame rates dropped below 40 FPS, adaptive sync no longer functioned and either tearing or stuttering was introduced depending on whether you had Vsync disabled or enabled. This is expected behaviour and also happens with an AMD GPU. Again, we’d class this as a success."

#

"The next monitor was the Viotek GN24C, another 24-inch 1080p monitor, this time with a VA panel and a 48 to 144 Hz refresh rate range. Again, this monitor worked perfectly, and due to the large refresh rate range it also supported LFC."

#

It's literally perfectly fine

#

If you ever do get the problem, "I think i've found the solution (not my idea but workjed for me) after months and hours of searching for a fix. In windows, turn off the option for your monitor to turn itself to sleep under your energy settings. So go to your advanced energy settings and set "Turn Off the Display: Never". Spread the word if it works ;)" might work

eternal cairn Apr 19, 2020, 7:24 PM

I'll wait and see if there's any good 144hz monitors that go on sale, but that might not be until Cyber Monday.

Thing is, most PC parts usually don't go on sale during the biggest sale days of the year.

RAM sticks, GPUs, and usually CPUs rarely go on sale.

#

I recall seeing someone post a screenshot of a triple monitor set up

#

So assuming my memory hasn't faltered, most likely yes

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Could be possible, but probably done somehow not in the game's setting

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

I'm not gonna dig for the screenshot though phaWesker

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Although you could just do a non-full screen and stretch that wide if that's possible

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Well you can do that with Adredaline software/Nvidia Control panel I'm sure

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Or it could be set to an amount of resolution like World At War non-fullscreen

#

I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 were connected and set to make it think it was just one monitor

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

That's how it works

#

It sets the resolution to the combined resolutions of each monitor

#

Though now that I think of it, by Hud they likely meant the ammo counter and stuff

#

On a triple monitor set up that would be on the far right

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

That's pretty much the HUD kek

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I was thinking of just the health

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

You should be able to have it in middle

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Which is already bottom center

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Probably the whole game looks normal, but the hud is wack, so you got health bar going from the left monitor all the way to the right lmao

#

That's how anyone gets more than 100% health /s

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

It scales with the resolution

#

So I don't think it would stretch from one to the other

#

I guess I could try it with my two monitors

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Would not be nice unless the bezel is almost not there

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

I've never done multi display for a game before, so I dunno how to get it to work phaWesker

We know, need money

weak scaffold Apr 20, 2020, 2:59 AM

wait do i need mod permission first for putting it here?

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

Not really allowed to request for money

void perch Apr 20, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

That's not permitted regardless

I know this isn't the best case in terms of performance checks
but:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26886990 😄

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:45 AM

#

Still a good set of tests and results!

#

No OCs I take it also?

#

Since it’s in a mini

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

no OC, I'm probably going to undervolt it since it's running a tad hot actually

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

Hot on what? Or you can’t tell due to distance?

#

If you can’t tell try undervolting the CPU first, then visa versa

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

a bit of both actually

#

but also, 2080 Ti FE fans are pretty aggressive

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

To loud?

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

aye

#

so undervolting that a tad in MSI afterburner, would get it to calm down just a bit

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

Ah, just be carful and make small adjustments to each, you want as little undervolting as you can get

#

Have a temp in mind for both?

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

cpu is around 80-85 atm,
GPU around the same

#

would like to get them down below 80

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:56 AM

#

I’d say shoot for 65 and under

#

CPU can take a tad more, but try to keep the GPU cooler

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

yeah I mean, cooler the better

#

but since i'm running this in a small formfactor, I have to be flexible as well 😄

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

Ideally you want it around 40 at most, but with how small I’d say a min of 60 would be phenomenal

#

What thermal paste did you use if I may?

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

yeah that's most likely not going to happen as things stand now 😄
but I'll see what I can do

#

Noctua provided 🙂

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

The one that comes with the cooler?

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

yeah, I usually go for an artic silver or something like that, but I've honestly not really noticed a difference

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is my go to paste, by far the best I know of if you aren’t delidding

#

Other then replacing paste, I’d say try taking the GPU appart and replace the pads with ether a good paste if it’s a tight fit (if not I have a few other suggestions) if you end up having to undervoltage it to much

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

but I'm going to give it a bit a see how it goes,
could be I switch over to a bigger case - with a noctua Dh15 instead 🙂

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

If it turns out to be to underclocked to be as good as it can be, if not just keep making little tweaks when you can and test it out!

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

I mean I might need to switch the paste anyway to see If I can get the idle down, It

#

's idlying higher than expected now when just using as normal

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Yea that is the safest bet, start with hardware before you mess with clocks to much

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

or, idling and idling, I'm using the computer and working, so I'm not actually idling

#

but I'm still at like 70c

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

I mean if it jumps to around 75 during moderate load I’d say it’s fine

#

But if it’s idling there then ehhh it’s better to try to get it lower

#

Also sorry if I’m bugging you while you work!

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

no worries, this is work 😉

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

Eyyy nice

#

Also I’m sorry if I seem rude to cut the chat short then but I need to attempt sleep, haven’t the past day and a half and it’s 04:15 so I need to try lol

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

haha, go for it! 🙂

#

sleep well!

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

Thanks! Wish you luck with getting your thermals down! I’ll be sure to check in when I can to see how things are!

#

And it may seem redundant but if you need anything feel free to DM, I respond faster with that

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 8:24 AM

🙂 absolutely!

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 10:38 AM

Ok, so I mighta just fucked up. I saw a really good deal on a 5700xt so I bought it. After researching more I found out that this card has virtually no memory cooling and breaches the safe temperature limit. The Evo card has fixed these issues but I'm pretty sure I didn't buy the Evo edition. I'm hoping that it just runs fine.

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

Is it reference card or blower style

#

what brand and what model

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

you think the engineers produced something that lasts a month so people can all RMA it?

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

ASUS did that with their old 5700 XT line up, but they had to do it for free... in US only

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

ASUS TUF. it's not blower style. just has no memory cooling

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

that sounds silly IMO. those GPU's are tested before they go out. surely one would have detected 120° on the memory 😉

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

Oh no.

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

@brisk badger I know right,

#

how do you not regulate temperature

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

That's actually one of the worst performing 5700xt cards out there in the market

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

I am aware, mainly because the poor cooling

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

well @crisp sage if you are worried: You can buy cooling pads extra from ebay or somewhere

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

pretty much

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

I always have like 100pcs cooling pads lying around 😄

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

Just beware you will void the warranty if you do put cooling pads

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

I also have a asus 5700xt 😢

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

@brisk badger strix?

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:07 AM

but the asus with 3 fans. i forgot what it was called

#

could be yes

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:08 AM

or the tuf?

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

i think it was the strix one

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

I wonder if you can contact ASUS about it to get an RMA or contact the store you got it from

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:08 AM

it eats more power than any normal 5700xt

you could just say the gpu doesn't work 😛

ohh those are generally good cards

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

Fun fact is ASUS is suppose to have the best power efficiency out of all other brandings

#

lol

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

i would say too good. they eat more power than they need

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

But idk, if the temperature exceeds what it's supposed to be can I give it back to asus? will they do anything?

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

not the strix one. it eats like 170-180watt wheras others consume ~150w

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

Where did you purchase it

#

and when

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

tbh I wouldn't worry in the first place

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

why.

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

if it breaks you do have warranty

#

and you havn't even tried it yet

crisp sage Apr 20, 2020, 11:10 AM

Yeahh, but I also lost 585 dollars if it breaks ;-;

proper wren Apr 20, 2020, 11:11 AM

Contact ASUS about it lol

brisk badger Apr 20, 2020, 11:11 AM

but you get a new one :p

#

personally I do not think it'll break

you can open up the GPU and check. maybethey added now the pads

plenty of times lol

Always inspect

Also prebuilts are usually final sale because the windows key

but always 30 day defective exchange

We had a lot of customers that damage the cpu pins and try to return it

even got a cx trying to return 9900ks box with old Xeon cpu

Seeing Ludvig's benchmark on Userbenchmark, I also constantly see that this website is the shittiest website to use

#

I keep hearing a lot about how this whole website is misinformation

late sorrel Apr 20, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

yeah it is

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

In the info for comparing parts and also in using their benchmarking

#

Like the 2080 Ti is doing 181%, normal

#

But 96%

#

You could reach that with a lower end CPU

#

If it's only on about itself, like only the 2080 Ti and that specific GPU usually performs lower than what Ludbug did, that would probably be understandable but also pretty damn stupid because then the 2080 Ti would be twice the performance of what it should be

#

So this benchmark is pretty fucking stupid basically because from seeing it now, I don't fucking understand what it is meaning anymore

#

Unless he knows some magic with it, idfk

sick reef Apr 20, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

It's very dependent on temp, momentary performance, as well as some synergy.

#

Hence variations.

Also that people have tested with the parts used of course.

True

sick reef Apr 20, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Having bad memory results is often chokes, be it form factor, but most often temperatures.

#

And GPU and CPU results obviously dependent on temps and OC. It can be consistent, UserBenchMark. It's no absolute result but can give a rough estimate.

Very nice!

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 8:27 PM

LMFAO

#

@abstract kite I will give you a $1.50 to not do that

Yeh

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

I seen it

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

yeah i know

#

but we can't discuss that

#

so

#

;)

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Ah

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

owo

#

When are you gonna start the build?

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 8:59 PM

Ffs

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Hm?

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

That gif...

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

oh yeah

#

lmfao

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

What about it?

#

It looks 100% accurately true

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Delet

Fake news

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

I like how I'm getting 100C with my Shintel 7700K, sounds like expected results

vapid crypt Apr 20, 2020, 9:02 PM

Proven to improve temperatures by 10C PirateSimon

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

@molten acorn I am just working on my current build. I am gonna be swapping out my old fans and Stock Cooler.

#

I should have also got a can of Air

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

kek

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

@abstract kite you can have my can of air

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Just dust with a soft rag, that’s fine

dense wasp Apr 20, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

ouch, my 3950x is sitting around 80c doing chrome+discord,
I really need the new thermal paste

#

Have any spare of the silver? Or need to buy some

eternal cairn Apr 20, 2020, 9:57 PM

The game is called GTFO and it doesn't stand for "Get The Fuck Out" but rather the feeling you have that you want to complete The Warden's objective and GTFO.

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, and nice! You have alcohol to clean the CPU and cooler with?

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

Yep @rapid plume. I have 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

Beautiful, make sure both are sparkly clean af

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

So I damp the Paper Towel and wipe off the current paste. More than likely the first wipe will not finish the job so do it 2-3 times?

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Depends

#

If the old paste is still there, just keep going

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

if you put the proper amount of paste the last time, then it should be good to do in one cleaning

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Keep going till it’s clean, then do one final wipe once it’s clean

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Could thicc toilet paper do it too incase I do not have paper towels?

fleet canopy Apr 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

I mean

#

It's paper

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Just be carful but yes

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

As long as I don't use cloth, right?

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

wait what

#

The IPA should make it soft that it's usable no matter what

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Shoudl it?

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

It should, you're damping a part on the paper towel/cloth/ whatever else you may use

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Cloth is fine as long as it’s soft

molten acorn Apr 20, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

@abstract kite don't damp the paper towel or cloth to the point you can actually drain it tho, lmfao

abstract kite Apr 20, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

Yeah, just damp. Not sopping wet.

rapid plume Apr 20, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Yep... if you wanted it that wet you’d just pour it on lol

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

@abstract kite did you do it?

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

No. I am waiting for my Fans to get here too.

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

oh

#

Fantastic

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

@abstract kite As long as the TP doesn't rip easily you could use that.

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

@abstract kite lol as if someone can get their hands on TP

#

you're a silly

magic anvil Apr 21, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

Can anyone recommend a good 27" 1080P monitor with HDR?

jade ermine Apr 21, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

@dense wasp Hopefully you don't have to go with large tophat + AIO lol

dense wasp Apr 21, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

haha

#

we'll see

#

hopefully not ;)=

#

then I'd rather go 3600x in there, and switch the 3950x to a fullsize

ornate ginkgo Apr 21, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

oh nice

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

So I am looking at the package of the Thermal Grizzly it says to not be used with an Aluminum Heat Sink.

#

Isn't the DRP4 Aluminum?

merry bay Apr 21, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

the part that makes contact is nickel plated copper

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

Oh Okay

brisk badger Apr 21, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

the TDP of this CPU is quite high for such a small form factor. I would recommend if disabling cores is not a thing; undervolting the core voltages and maybe underclocking a bit. Undervolting GPU's is usually easier. I do it practically with every build. I lose 5-8% FPS for like 20-30% less power consumption and also less heat which I think is acceptable

#

I had a different view though when living at parents house 😋 (no electricity bill to pay)

I missed you

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:05 PM

I am paying my electricity bill

fleet canopy Apr 21, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

Is it hell?

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Well currently I am on a pip so $160, but when that goes away I am looking to spend about $300~ish a month

#

Maybe more.

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

on

#

Electricity?

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Yea

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

wut the hell, bud

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

My mother likes to blame it on me and my dads PC's being on all the time.

fleet canopy Apr 21, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

But in reality wouldn't take that much electricity?

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

If you had two PCs on

#

all day for a whole month

#

that wouldn't add more than 8$

fleet canopy Apr 21, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Hah

#

Unless power succ succ

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

you succ succ

fleet canopy Apr 21, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Sounds right

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I got my G502

#

and honestly

#

the G602 feels better

#

which is really unfortunate

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

G602?

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

G602 is a wireless gaming mouse

#

like my aim on the g502 is so much better and so is my response time

#

but it's so

#

plasticy and light

fleet canopy Apr 21, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Ah

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

I have weights for it

#

but it's gonna be a lot to get used to

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

I remember when I first installed my GPU into this PC I was immediately pushing 120+ FPS when all my life I have been running 15-25 FPS.

#

I couldn't get use to it.

#

xD

molten acorn Apr 21, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

I wannaa

#

install my GPU

#

in your PC too

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 5:13 PM

I can't tell if you are hitting on me xD

Hello, Labcat

eternal cairn Apr 21, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Does anyone have that wireless charging mouse from Logitech?

#

The G powerplay or something?

rapid plume Apr 21, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

I don’t sadly, is there an issue or are you looking to buy it?

eternal cairn Apr 21, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

I was just looking to see if anyone else had it and would recommend it.

rapid plume Apr 21, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Ah ok, I’ve only used on one I’ve worked on fixing, so I’m not a good contender lol

#

From reviews and videos I’ve seen tho it seems good for a wireless mouse

abstract kite Apr 21, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

@eternal cairn Are you referring to the G Pro Wireless?

#

I don't personally have it, but I have used it and it is really really good

#

A good friend of mine uses it as his daily driver

#

He recommends it highly

eternal cairn Apr 21, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Yeah, the one that can charge while using it on the mouse pad.

molten acorn Apr 22, 2020, 12:00 AM

goh f0r et

eternal cairn Apr 22, 2020, 8:32 AM

It's $200 though. 😩

#

For the mat + mouse.

jade ermine Apr 22, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

At that point i would start wondering is that cable so bad Steve3

finite violet Apr 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

Wired will perform better

abstract kite Apr 22, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

^

sick reef Apr 22, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

I would break a mat that had any electrical parts in it.

#

Not on purpose, or by violence, things just break when I use them

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

i can say that my Logitech G703 whit Powerplay Mousepad got NOT MORE INPUTLAG as wired

#

The Lightspeed Technoligy is very good

#

Same whit a good WiFi Chip, like the AC Killer , it got whit 5GHz Channel not rly Lantency Problems, and if you dont got an MRT at home in your Room it runs well like a LAN Cable

#

@magic anvil A good HDR Monitor , is sadly not FUllHD , it need a good Resolution (Means WQHD or better)

#

but when money is no point of limit, just look around the Asus ROG Swift Series and the MSI Optix Series

#

MSI Optix MAG272R-012

#

FullHD, HDR Rdy, 165Hz , Freesync (But i think its G-Sync Compatible too)

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

from what ive been looking around you can get HDR on FHD screens

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

the HDR Scale is most lower on FullHD Panels

#

it gives more as 1 hardwarebased HDR Support, means like something "HDR 400, HDR 600" etc. The MSI optix is FullHD and supports HDR

#

(Recommend to NOT use HDR in Windows, just in Games, cuz WinHDR is like Boots for Kids xD)

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

oh i dont intend to use hdr for normal desktop use just for gaming

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Thats cool :3

#

Got a powerfull GPU?

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

its a meh

#

rx 5700 xt

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Well, should enought for FullHD 144Hz+ and HDR

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

it should do in paper

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

But you can look around a WQHD Monitor, got enought power

#

Ye, some games are CrapCoded

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:46 AM

not really a fan of jumping to 1440p just to lose performance
