#

But i read , the MSI optix is trash

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

i know the card can handle it

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

Wich CPU you got?

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

my old trusty 7700k

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

OC?

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

nope

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

Should think about if your Thermalreserves are good enought... (extra SingleCore Performance)

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

stuck on 4.2ghz no boost undervolted to 1.095

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

1440P is a good thing whit HDR, never seen such good Cinematic Gaming

#

Voltage is not important when its under 1.3V (for 24/7 Use)

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

oh it was with this cpu

#

i had thermal issues

#

so i undervolted

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

K models are verry good selected, that means they life same time as normal nonK models , while the K modells are able to OC

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

and solved that problem

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

Ohh...

#

Boi, when you wanna buy PC Components xD Then fix your themralReserves,

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

apparently 7700k had thermal issues

#

but oh well i dont play that much AAA games

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

OFC CPU needed for ALL GAMES

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

hence the reasob just wanting a 1080p monitor

#

reason*

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

i will promise you, a FullHD HDR Monitor whil lettin you Rage

#

Most of them are Smearing

#

in lowlight scenes

#

Try out a WQHD HDR 120Hz Panel, most likly Asus (Its expensive, but the right Model are f***ing worth it)

#

AoC

#

AlienWare

#

and for your Thermals, BOI if you wanna i send direct to you a Alpenföhn Broken 3 Straight at your home xD

#

But try the NZXT Kraken x53/x63

#

or the xX2 models instead the xX3 models (x52/x62 240MM Raditor ,x53/x63 280MM Raditor)

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

my thermals are okay now with the undervolting

#

also changed the gpus paste that thing it came with is just horrible

#

i will look into that monitor you recommend

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

it cost your Warranty if i dont remember false

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

meh

#

i dont do anything stupid to the components

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

Ye but that doesnt matter xd

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

i never overclock so....

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

You open the Cooling COmponents

#

So if it gonna broke, you cant get a new one

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

my parts tend to last as long as it can

#

always look after my baby

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

xdd

#

Then give your Baby a good CPU Cooler

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

sadly im running with air cooling

#

but im using a coolermaster hyper 212 evo

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

It gives good Aircoolers for low prices whit an very good cooling power

#

OOOOF

#

Hyper 212??

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

yup

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

For that cash what it cost, BOOOOI you was able to get some better cooler

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

its done me justice CM coolers

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

Like the BeQuiet Darkrock 4

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

been using them for years

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

Coolermaster got some Products, like the Hyper... what is for LowEnd/Midrange CPU´s

#

My Ryzen got only 65Watts TDP

#

And even that got a AiO cooling

#

Coolermaster MasterLiquid ML240L

#

Its coolermaster, got BlingBling, and yea... it will let you Overclock if you need it

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

well pointless getting liquid cooling if i dont overclock

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Nah not Pointlless

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

i always undervolt a cpu whenever i get it

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

Ye thats fine, but its not Pointless

#

a higher Cooling power, results in lower Temps, that result in more KI Boost , if your Hardware sense you got thermalreserves and the VRM on the Mainboard gives the "OK" they Overclock themself

#

My Ryzen got a 3.2 GHz Stock Speed, but mostime i see him on 3.7GHz and sometimes on 4GHz

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

yeah i turn that feature off on my bios

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Cuz Thermal issues xD

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

its max is 4.2

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

And you know, whit the Rx5700XT your CPU bottleneck

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

never higjer than that

#

yeah i know its a bottleneck

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

If your CPU cant powerup more, your GPU will not getting on its Limit, whit a "humanity OC" you will get like 20FPS more

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

but im not going to replace it until i really need to

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

4.20Ghz "Never Higher as me" XDDDD

#

oook, as you wanna, its yours :3

#

4.20Ghz = 420 = WeedTime xD

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

well i do smoke weed so it makes sense XD

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

"Never higher than me" xDDD

#

ABSOLUTLY HONOR! xD

#

me 2 tbh

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

defo need one during these times

golden topaz Apr 22, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

defo?

magic anvil Apr 22, 2020, 10:07 AM

Ay, youre right...

Hey @void perch . I was wondering if GTFO does use valve's relay servers for clients to connect to the host or if it's planned for a further release. I am asking because I found this from a post in 2018 so I am not sure if this correct: https://steamcommunity.com/app/493520/discussions/0/1729828401689995830/

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I do experiment with relays myself on my gameserver since the game does not support any valve relays. I made a small page here: https://relay.apheriox.com and some people from like australia could reduce the ping by 100ms although not all. And ofc a big relay mesh costs a lot money, something i dont have :p

As far as I'm aware it still uses relays.

lmao nice

void perch Apr 22, 2020, 3:40 PM

I actually like the minimalistic aspect to it, the lack lots of wires, etc.

sick reef Apr 22, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Move the computer off the desk.

fleet canopy Apr 22, 2020, 3:40 PM

And the amount of black/red fits nicely too

sick reef Apr 22, 2020, 3:41 PM

Either elevate it, or lower it, for more desk space.

i say elevate, put on that shelf above. show off the beautiful computer

exotic rampart Apr 22, 2020, 3:46 PM

Hmm

that plank isn't capable of the weight + Wires will be all over the place

One day I'm going to do a three monitor setup

merry bay Apr 22, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Until this new version of windows stabilizes I'm sticking with single monitor. No doubt going at least dual has upsides, but any animation on the second monitor messing up refresh rates is really irritating.

#

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f57tk4/dwm_multiple_monitors_with_different_refresh_rate/

#

Either killing dwm (also affects file explorer and other essentials for win10) or staying single monitor seems like the only solution today.

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

After some further testing, it appears the stuttering using 144Hz/60Hz only occurs in Firefox, and not Edge (Chromium) (or similar browsers).```

merry bay Apr 22, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

I use chrome and twitch streams easily cause games to stutter on my main monitor

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

I notice this too, but only for some reason when I change windows sound volume

#

Also it's nice that firefox does not go the route of using chromium

merry bay Apr 22, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Quality variety is always nice. Having just Chromium across the board would be bad

fleet canopy Apr 22, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

Last I had chromium randomly downloaded, it was apparently a virus

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

hmm muppy maybe you downloaded the raw project? Browser usually build on top of chromium. E.g Chrome, Opera, Safari (?), Edge use it as foundation

fleet canopy Apr 22, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

I'm not sure, it was a long time ago anyway

#

Well like about 2 years ago

Pew pew thermal paste, let’s hope this brings my cpu down some notches

Nice!

cunning lantern Apr 22, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

What’s up with the frame rate drop during the “drop”? I also notice my cpu hits 55° when it rarely gets about 44°

abstract kite Apr 22, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Wow

#

Copying my thermal paste selection, Ludvig? >:3

void perch Apr 22, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

The game is loading everything for the expedition during hte drop. Not like you really need those frames during a drop sequence

abstract kite Apr 22, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

There are flying sleepers in the drop. You have to defend yourself.

#

You know that is a potential run down objective.... clearing the drop track for more expeditions to come through.

Or your current objective when you are dropping gets derailed due to that black organic substance from R1C2 Junking the tracks and your new objective is to clear it to gain access to the part of the facility you are meant to go into.

DrifterHmm

wise pumice Apr 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

So what seems to be the problem @night jetty

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

@dense wasp awesome! I really do hope you like it! Clean the CPU and CPU cooler really good with alcohol, then get that on, then try thermals to see how it helps. It may be worth it to replace the GPU pads with this aswell, as long as the contacts are under 2mm of space

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Yeah I got some isopropanol at the office, will grab that tomorrow

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Beautiful, 70% and higher work perfect

#

I’m excited for this XD

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:29 PM

mine is chemically pure, it's like >99.5%

#

I don't want to drink it

#

😄

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Oh lord... then be carful using it, pure stuff may work how H2O2 oxidizes the skin and makes it dry and odd

#

I’m really envying you that you can get this kind of stuff so easily XD

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

yeah I got one time silicone gloves I can use If I want to

#

should get some microfiber cloth or something for it I guess

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Paper towel is more then enough, tho if you have one just give a lil wipe after you use the paper to make it clean as can be

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

yeah that's what I usually use

#

so that's good 😉

#

not REALLY looking forward to opening this system

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

Also inside the bag of thermal paste should be a little tip with spreader to put on the tube, use that to make a very thin layer over the top of the CPU, instead of making a line or X pattern

#

LOL I feel that... another bad thing about form factor is taking it apart to clean and for maintenance

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

I mean, I've built a crapton of ATX builds, but never an itx

#

ah yeah, your the "thin layer" type of guy in regards to paste? I'm usually like, a piece of rice in the middle

#

but I'll try the spatula this time 😉

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

I like the idea that there’s 100% connection through the entire plate, giving as much as possible contact to the cooler

#

And I’ve never built an ITX or mini ITX... worked ok a single ITX and put that in the same category that I do with laptops... that I hate them XD

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:39 PM

man

corsairs PSU's thou

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

And I’m glad you’ll try it! Just want your work build to be as good as possible!

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

haven't used them for years, cause I usually get coilwhine

#

so switched to EVGA & Seasonic

#

for the small form factor, they where the top tog, so got a SF750

#

and what does it give me?
Coilwhine

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Oof... how loud is it would you say?

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

only when playing games, so it's something with the PCI cables I recon, saw something said it worked for him when he just switched what input it was on on the PSU

#

so will try that when I remove the CPU tomorrow

#

#

loud enough for me to get bugged on 😄

Hopefully that’s a simple fix, for some it works for some it dosnt sadly

my gpu is connected to the pc but i cant figure out how to "activate" it, ingame i get like 10 fps, and its runs on my screen card not gpu

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

have you put you cable from the monitor in the GPU, not the Motherboard?

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Yea you need to connect the monitor and cable to your GPU and not have it in your mother bored, it should work if you have drivers to the GPU

dense wasp Apr 22, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

you probably have HDMI (if that what you use) on both the motherboard backplate and the GPU, so it's an honest misstake

late sorrel Apr 22, 2020, 9:44 PM

I have a friend who did that with a 2080Ti

#

absolutely no clue why he was getting 1 FPS on ultra for gta5

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

ludvig, out of curiosity: did you try another wall socket?
and does the coil whine occur when you power up the PSU or when you start the PC?

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

The fact that someone has a 2080 Ti and did that... pains me

late sorrel Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 PM

yeah

#

very much more money than sense

#

he isn’t even using it for games really

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 9:45 PM

He said when he’s in game, so when you’re taking in more wattage then idle

Tell him I will trade mine for it!

I have a dream build now that's more a server I guess,
3990x with 256gb ram & 4x 2080ti's.
So I can run VM's as test machines

more pcie lanes anyway

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 10:10 PM

Mine is more for processing and storage, tho it can have quite a few VMs should I need

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 10:13 PM

if you need 2TB RAM for a server you may rather tell your programmers to fix the memory leak :p

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Hey fixing my old ass one I have is super fun, tho setting up freeNAS on a disk is hell XD

#

I don’t need 2TB... I just go overly overkill XD

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

maybe you are a ramdisk fanatic 😄 those exist but are rare to found today

#

also I said it earlier but really anything can be a server, even if it's on normal consumer hardware. optimally a server should be reachable 24/7 but it can be anything

#

specific server hardware is used when you need features that the normal consumer grade hardware don't offer. often this is memory correction, more pcie lanes (which I think is stupid) and others

rapid plume Apr 22, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Yep, but I mean specialty servers for industries and super computers, normal servers can be anything and have been made from everything, even as simple as a raspberry pi

brisk badger Apr 22, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

yea. probably it's good for encoding and producing movies

#

but often this process is offloaded to server clusters or farms

@worthy hedge if your credit card information got leaked do call the credit card center and block the card and request a new one. THat nobody has whitdrawn money now doesn't mean someone will do it in the future. often this information is sold to people who buy stolen credit card information. I would be on the safe side

#

Also 2 Factor Authentication. It really is helpful and you should enable it for anything important

merry bay Apr 23, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

@wooden inlet If you're out of ideas, try disassembling it and giving a test run outside the case. Having too few/many standoffs can stop you from booting. Best to know if the parts are okay before spending time with the case.

For just temps Ryzen Master should be accurate enough.

@upper palm Doesn't Dell use a proprietary mobo and psu?

you might have to change those, unfortunately to upgrade

but if you can find the type of PSU it should be as simple as swapping since they're mostly similar in terms of form factor

it wasnt loose

sick reef Apr 24, 2020, 10:11 AM

What I would suggest initially is to decouple it, and see if it still reboots.

#

i checked it

sick reef Apr 24, 2020, 10:14 AM

If the power button has a short, somehow, it'd activate it, and that could shut it off "naturally", hence why I recommend simply decoupling it and seeing if it persists.

Is coil whine covered by warranty?

#

monakHmm

#

I use Antec because it was the best option for me at the time.

#

But I guess size becomes of important for the form factor, thus why availability is limited.

brisk badger Apr 24, 2020, 11:07 AM

100% it's the PSU and not the GPU?

dense wasp Apr 24, 2020, 11:23 AM

Fairly sure

I mean, I can always switch the GPU out and try with another 2080 ti

brisk badger Apr 24, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

in any case it sucks to have coilwhine. I think some companies do include it in warranty but maybe not all. If it's the GPU that has coil whine, you could technically undervolt it and pay the price of less performance (and thermals). I had that once too with one GPU, since I undervolt in general it didn't bother me but it's still not great

dense wasp Apr 24, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

but it's a good idea, I have another SF750 that I'm planning on sending back, that I can wait on sending back after switching the 2080ti, then switching the PSU against that one I guess

#

I have actually undervolted this card slightly, didn't any difference in coilwhine thou

#

only seems to be when go higher in FPS in games.

brisk badger Apr 24, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

yea it's probably at a certain amount of watt that it get's triggered. you could more aggressively undervolt and lose more perf or you can try to set a power limit on the GPU. I forgot how AMD and nvidia call this

#

basically say "give -10% power to the GPU"

dense wasp Apr 24, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

on the CPU that's called ppt

#

I did the power curve in MSI afterburner on the card

brisk badger Apr 24, 2020, 11:35 AM

okay, I assume no difference :/

icue is terribad, especially the plugins they throw in without telling you, a plugin dll they installed with an update took control of my mobo lighting, they never even ran it past anti-cheat providers like battleye so whenever i'd run a BE enabled game all my corsair peripherals would crap out and keybinds be-gone.

pine lion Apr 24, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Im on the fence about it, my cpu stay's below 50C, overlocked i5. But I don't wanna get involved with changing the water every so often. But water, and bigger rad's help maintain those temps nice, currently I have 6 exhaust and intake fans.

void wasp Apr 24, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

I have my cpu on a 240mm CLC and that works fine along with a case rammed full of noctua's, cpu and gpu never get that hot, even if im rendering stuff for hours and the fan noise aint bad.

#

2x120mm intake, 1x120 + 2x140mm exhausts.

#

I'll eventually go custom loop, but for now this works perfect.

#

might think about a GPU plate after I already have a custom loop.

pine lion Apr 24, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Eh idk mind fan noise at all, I welcome it.

#

I know there working good lol.

void wasp Apr 24, 2020, 5:51 PM

I mean if i turn my fans to 2000rpm it can be noisy, but it never gets that hot where the system has to do that.

1080 Ti can do 4K

I went for a 2000 series because I had a older build pc and I just went full blown upgrade's I pc game, for some game's but I mainly prefer console, although these past few feeks console has been really lacking in anything except BR's and there ok until they make dumb changes.

1080 Ti is like still a damn good card, like between 2070 Super and 2080

Yes, a 1080 could do 4k, but it wouldn't hit the benchmarks like a 2000

Can find it for way cheaper lol

pine lion Apr 24, 2020, 6:39 PM

if your going to a 4k build, would make sense to go to a 2000 ser card.

unless there was a cheap 1080ti

By a huge HUGE amount

It’s similar but super optimized with a lot more kick

fleet canopy Apr 24, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

By a huge, sure

#

I don't exactly know if it's huge though

#

But it's better if you want the RT cores or are a streamer

not huge

"It’s similar but super optimized with a lot more kick"

Only thing good

Is

RT cores and better stream

#

So that's it

#

But I'd def recommend a 2080 unless you can find a 1080 Ti for cheaper

#

But for RTX, ehh

#

Recent benchmarks on minecraft RTX makes 2080 look like a joke

#

Because on 1080p, 2070 Super does better

But if it's 1440p, 2080 does about 63FPS, while 2070 Super is a 45FPS ish

Srry for the delayed response back, went to lay our bathroom floor. One of the bigger reasons i was interested in in the 2000 line cards is because i found out that there was an audio AI that helps remove background noise (would be good for streams) and i figured going 2080 super would last me quite some time (i'd say 5 years ish) so it would be an investment. Though for the 1440P gamin what monitor would you guys say? I don't mind seeing whats around as im not buying it right this second.

lilac geyser Apr 24, 2020, 9:26 PM

i'd buy 120/144Hz refresh rate

IPS panel if you want accurate colors and good viewing angle, VA panels if you want higher refresh rates

lost kiln Apr 24, 2020, 9:28 PM

Is there a middle ground between the 2, or as it stands with our current tech its one or the other?

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1890-panel-comparison-tn-ips-pls-va-crt

TN have the fastest reresh rates out there i think

IPS couldnt really get past 60Hz until recently

ASUS is a competitor in the high end monitor line, with the AG and PG series

er VG and PG series

at least we have options, most of the major players have monitor variants depending if you want 24" or 27", curved or not curved, freesync or gsync

those are the most important things to determine what you want before you go pulling your hair out over the endless varities

So here a question i've wondered about. What benefit is there to a curved monitor? when i've thought about it i would think it makes things look off (but seeing as ive never seen one i wouldn't know)

fleet canopy Apr 24, 2020, 9:44 PM

Well

It'd look better for bigger monitors

If you have like one of those mega wide monitors, that comes to a great benefit

At least all,

lilac geyser Apr 24, 2020, 9:50 PM

ultrawide can be tough because the HUD elements might be all the way on the sides of the monitor

I'd say its typically good practice to set the base mounting point for your cooler while its not in the case. That way you can test fit it before you put it in the case

merry bay Apr 25, 2020, 1:31 AM

Clips make it easier to be flexible for the fan position. Some people need it a little higher for RAM clearance or some prefer getting things as low as possible.
Also no empty holes if you're not using a third fan.

I recall struggling with the clips for a little bit, but it's doable.
