But the royals ram I was kinda tempted

It looks good in the pictures

[grand kernel]

rgb ram bad

put rgb fan on top of non rgb ram

[mortal grail]

They look amazing in pics

But only in pics

[mighty hazel]

Ye fr

[mortal grail]

I can snap pics of them with my phone and it's like I have a DSLR

but irl they look nothing as nice

[mighty hazel]

Someone got them both 💀

[mortal grail]

The pcb's in gamerocks are like bare minimum reference

[mighty hazel]

Oof

☠️

[grand kernel]

just epower it

[mighty hazel]

Ram without heat sinks>>>

• ram fan 🗿

[mortal grail]

Even the coolermaster fans

[north crescent]

Oh yeah I agree. Not wanting to admit they misread it is uh, well a fun time I suppose. Just saying that you might want a complete sentence dedicating to the fact you're describing best case scenario, and that average case and worse case stuff can be different esp with unideal tolerances, all in the same message as noting the best case examples. Prolly best those be the first sentences and then give technical best details, without an embed.

Ah, the things you have to do when talking to normies.

[mental yoke]

🐏 fan?

[nocturne flicker]

I'd buy it, it'd be funny

[mental yoke]

Come again?

My pfp goes hard 👀

[mortal grail]

You're totally right too

It just ticked me off

[mental yoke]

Hi Lantern ..

[mighty hazel]

Yo

[grand kernel]

imagine not having a ram fan

[mental yoke]

27-48 is crazy

Wait 🐏's have fans?

That's wild

[mighty hazel]

Ye

[north crescent]

Ye fair. I love me the undeserved unofficial "verbal" warnings

[mental yoke]

Wouldn't it be called OnlyRams then?

[mortal grail]

Like first sentence "You're wrong, don't break rule 7"

Like "Ok???? It's not misinfo, here's the lab test"

[grand kernel]

rule 7: do not disagree with Discord Moderators

[mighty hazel]

[grand kernel]

no

[mortal grail]

Best looking ram cooler imo is the jonsbo one

[mental yoke]

Ah I see

I never knew RAM coolers existed.

[mighty hazel]

Tbf the one on the right looks solid

It costs like 30 bucks

[grand kernel]

it's only a terrible 60mm fan

[mortal grail]

https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/NF1Standard.html this is like $10

[mighty hazel]

Oh

[grand kernel]

the best ram cooler is 3d printing a 140mm fan mount

smh

[north crescent]

"Erm, achktually, you're giving disinformation. You're banned"

[mighty hazel]

Most people just do this

Ziptie fan

[mental yoke]

Dawg what

[grand kernel]

respectable

[mortal grail]

Which is arguably by far the most effective method

[nocturne flicker]

+1 for LF2

[mental yoke]

Ah, an all black build

I see..

[storm narwhal]

First time chatter tries to be mod

[grand kernel]

3d printed fan mount is nice if you ever gotta move the PC around though

[mighty hazel]

Idk what that green cable in that gpu is tho 💀

[mortal grail]

Fan rgb

[mighty hazel]

Oh

[grand kernel]

[mortal grail]

Yeah I wasn't sure either until I looked closer

[opaque sedge]

Guys should I get this monitor, it wont be delivered till next Wednesday… i should’ve ordered it last night

https://a.co/d/cPh3amE

[craggy shoal]

lmao get deleted

[mental yoke]

https://youtu.be/zFtvc2Ctfl0?si=CZjn2ncKB7Apn1Dy

Very interesting choices..

[nocturne flicker]

Wait a minute this has 11 fans

[opaque sedge]

Is that the intel arc gpu?

[mental yoke]

I believe so.

[nocturne flicker]

-1 rep

[storm narwhal]

Kekw

[mental yoke]

-1000 Rep

[opaque sedge]

How many fans does a build typically need?

[nocturne flicker]

Not 11

[mental yoke]

Unlimited

[mighty hazel]

Like 5

[craggy shoal]

If my budget was $500 I wouldn't be worried about fans 💀

[mental yoke]

I have 8.

[storm narwhal]

All exhaust bro like what

[mental yoke]

[opaque sedge]

The pc case I ordered only has 3, 2 are intake and one is in the back which is the exhaust ig

[mighty hazel]

Idk I found this off some oc sub Reddit 💀 overclockers put in a lot of fans

[storm narwhal]

Maybe not the front but

[mental yoke]

I have an all black build

[grand kernel]

if it looks like that it's almost certainly not the best $500 gaming pc

ngl

[mental yoke]

with 8 fans.

[storm narwhal]

That's good

Very common setup for fans

[opaque sedge]

Its good enough right?

[storm narwhal]

Yep

[grand kernel]

the best $500 PC uses a stock cooler and doesn't have a case

[mighty hazel]

For 500 you probably gotta do used gpu to get most value

[grand kernel]

[mental yoke]

Sadly haven't bought all the parts yet.

I currently have the cpu and storage.

[mighty hazel]

It’s a Ps5 killer tho really good

[north crescent]

You can find cases in the dumpster wtf you talking about?????

[mighty hazel]

5600+ 2070 super

[storm narwhal]

Unless you see the temperatures rising to like 95C or above while it's on full tilt

[grand kernel]

if you try hard enough you can probably get a 3080 in a $500 pc

[opaque sedge]

I’m doing an all black build too

[mighty hazel]

Best 500 dollar pc you can make

[grand kernel]

ok fair

[storm narwhal]

Then you might be a little concerned

[grand kernel]

maybe a dumpster case

[grand kernel]

I got a 2070 super for $40

[storm narwhal]

But also then fans wouldn't be your first go to solution, either

[opaque sedge]

I’m doing an all amd build, they run pretty cool right?

[mighty hazel]

Damn how

[grand kernel]

2070 super too low end for $500 budget

[mighty hazel]

Facebook marketplace?

[craggy shoal]

CPUs, yes. GPUs, no

[mighty hazel]

Cuz usually I see them for like 150 to 200

[storm narwhal]

They are relatively cooler for CPUs yes

[opaque sedge]

I’m f’ed

[storm narwhal]

Intel's CPUs are stupid hot

[mighty hazel]

Eh only the i9s

[storm narwhal]

Haha you're fine tbh

[grand kernel]

I bought it "broken" and "fixed" it (it literally just needed a repaste)

[mighty hazel]

Lol nice

[rancid juniper]

ooooh 7900xt

[opaque sedge]

This is the case i was suggested and ordered apparently it has slots for fan expansion

https://a.co/d/ipCW6s3

[north crescent]

I bought a broken 1080Ti and RMAed it lol

[storm narwhal]

Keep a little eye on temps while gaming, but I do that regardless of any circumstance

[mortal grail]

That one is good or if you want a little better for a little more, these are better for each bit more you spend

Eatx that's huge jesus

[mortal grail]

All 3 monitors are good

And fine

Just pick what you would prefer to spend

[north crescent]

Tho to be fair I did have to clean off the corrosion so that it didnt look water damaged at first glance

[storm narwhal]

As long as you've got space, eatx is fine

[mighty hazel]

Or lg gp850. Theyre pretty good too

[mortal grail]

Ye

[mighty hazel]

Their ultra gear oleds are on sale as well if u got more budget

They’re like 600 I think

[mortal grail]

The QD would probably be the best in the 200-300 imo

QLED IPS OP

[mighty hazel]

But 240hz

[mortal grail]

Ye

[craggy shoal]

I lowkey want 240Hz lol

[mortal grail]

KTC OLED is $630

[mighty hazel]

Only con I’ve heard was their brightness was “low”

[mortal grail]

1440p 240hz LG panel

Ye cos it stops burn in

[mighty hazel]

Saw it from jufes’ review

[storm narwhal]

QLED is very noice

Still blooming, but great color

[mortal grail]

You really need to find another channel man 💀

[mighty hazel]

💀

😭

[storm narwhal]

Who's jufe

[mighty hazel]

It was on my feed

[craggy shoal]

jufe

[mighty hazel]

Framechasers

[mortal grail]

Him saying "Not bright enough" which is the entire reason they don't get burn in lmfao

[north crescent]

Fartchasers

[nocturne flicker]

That reminds me I need to finally get a 1440p monitor. 1080p gaming with a 6950xt

[mortal grail]

Like textbook meme channel for OC

[rancid juniper]

this season so wack whole house is a furnace

[north crescent]

UserBenchmark but for OC

[mighty hazel]

Are other oleds like that

[nocturne flicker]

It was 80 degrees with 100% humidity for weeks here. While my AC was broken

[mortal grail]

The ones that don't burn in yes

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[mortal grail]

You get QD-OLED if you want bright OLED

[craggy shoal]

my 3D printer wouldn't like that

[mighty hazel]

Nah he’s not that bad. Ubm is just stupid and they like trolling 💀

[rancid juniper]

i dont think UBM trolls

they actually take it serious

[mighty hazel]

Only explanation for them

[rancid juniper]

delusional takes to the extremities

[mighty hazel]

Is that they’re trolling

[mortal grail]

UBM indeed are like the demon cult of the pc world at this point

[mighty hazel]

U can kinda tell from the words they use

“Gamers considering buying amd should re-evaluate their critical thinking skills” 💀💀

[nocturne flicker]

But but but, they said my pc ufo tier

[mortal grail]

Actually Red I'll give you the doubt, Jufes is probably not the worst anymore

There's another

[mighty hazel]

Like if that’s not trolling idk what is

[rancid juniper]

was that the 7950x3d review?

i forgor

[mortal grail]

Ancient gameplays is a meme

[mighty hazel]

I think it was 7800x3d or that

[mortal grail]

He's like what old jufes is now

[mighty hazel]

I’ve never heard of him ngl

[north crescent]

jufes is pretty damn delusional, I'd consider him as bad as UBM. Esp when he is profitting off it (ex: paid one on one OC sessions with a lot of misinformation)

[rancid juniper]

ive seen his stuff before, everytime a new driver from amd comes out he is usually the first to review it

[opaque sedge]

I think ik why my eng prof hates me now…

[mortal grail]

He hands out OC settings for different things and lately I find people complaining their cards don't work after copying the settings

A LOT

[mighty hazel]

https://youtu.be/ybOEnhNHAno?si=uftb03_UOgiSSTtg

The irony 💀💀

[mortal grail]

It's like yeah ofc they don't work

He dun know how to recommend in OC

[rancid juniper]

bro is mega dumb

ngl

[mighty hazel]

Ah oof. You gotta get intel then

[rancid juniper]

game is legit intensive to run

[mortal grail]

That's fine

4K 60 4090, ok if ultra

4090 2 years old now

[craggy shoal]

Man I might upgrade my GPU next release lol

[mighty hazel]

That’s pretty bad 💀

[craggy shoal]

Even though I just got a 4070 Super 💀

[mortal grail]

Bruh you wringed your mom clean of strix money

LOL

[mighty hazel]

Most games a 3080 works for 4k 60

[rancid juniper]

yea ngl

[craggy shoal]

About to get a 5090 Strix from her this Christmas

"Mom this is the ONLY thing I want"

[rancid juniper]

4K 120fps ultra from 4090 thats what shouldve been ngl

[mortal grail]

That's actually a good spec sheet

[mortal grail]

If it's in any way sim it's not bad

[mighty hazel]

Ngl for a racing game, if it’s anything like f1, should be 240 even

[mortal grail]

Noooo

Have you looked at some of them?

[rancid juniper]

its simcade af

[craggy shoal]

Does it have sim wheel support? :0

[mighty hazel]

Its gotta be really insane graphics to justify that

[rancid juniper]

it supports wheels yes

[mortal grail]

Some sim games are like "4K 30 with best graphic card"

[craggy shoal]

It better be good bruh

[rancid juniper]

but no 900 degree rotation animation

so forza ahhh stuff

[craggy shoal]

swear if we get another Forza type wheel physics BS

Is that sound coming from the gpu or the game?

[mortal grail]

Stay pure

[mighty hazel]

🤷

[rancid juniper]

ye

[mortal grail]

Also sadge. Potentially meh optimisation

But also if it plays like an arcade game who needs fps

[rancid juniper]

60 minimum for arcade tbh

[mortal grail]

Actually it looks not bad at all

[craggy shoal]

Everything should be 60 minimum 💀

[rancid juniper]

no cap

[mortal grail]

Max settings 4K, 76fps on a 4090

That's actually a good result

[craggy shoal]

"nah single player games can be 30fps" shut up your opinion doesn't count

[mortal grail]

That's better than most

Oh wait frame gen

☠️

Nvm

Max no DLSS 3 is 45 fps

[misty sparrow]

So potentially excellent pick you have there yeah

[rancid juniper]

y
i
k

s

[mortal grail]

Yeah

Needs work

But it looks really good for 40fps

Not recycled trash at least

At least we get somewhat modded assetto visuals 💀

That's a good result for racing games

[rancid juniper]

for a AA studio they did well for visuals/details HOWEVER the performance doesn't align

[opaque sedge]

Are samsung monitors good?

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

@mortal grail download the demo

[mortal grail]

I am

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

I will be working until the 19th tho idk if I'll have time

[rancid juniper]

@craggy shoal you too motor, download the game i want to see your pc smoking

[craggy shoal]

[rancid juniper]

wow

[opaque sedge]

And was this ssd a good choice? Got it for 125 with a coupon

[rancid juniper]

should i make a video on this game tho?

[craggy shoal]

bro just look at the reviews

[rancid juniper]

gameplay or benchmark?

[mortal grail]

Yes good pick iirc

Yes it's a great SSD for 125

You picked well

TLC Dram Phison controller

[grand kernel]

when are you making a video about a real game like maplestory?

[rancid juniper]

...

i cannot comment

[grand kernel]

I want to see 4090 vs 7900xtx vs a100 vs mi300 maplestory benchmarks by tomorrow or I'm unsubbing

[rancid juniper]

crazy demand 😭

[mortal grail]

Make a video about it but record the gameplay separately first, then do facecam of you talking and playing it after, but at the very end take your hands off the controller after like 9 minutes so everyone finds out you faked it

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

[grand kernel]

you know what? I also want to see a 5090 engineering sample in there

don't look at the mirror reflections tho

uh

its questionable

[mortal grail]

?

[rancid juniper]

i mean sideview mirrors

hehe

there is no reflection on them for some reason

[north crescent]

@shut tartan Use Virus Total and also download/install in a VM, then scan VM. There are still many ways for viruses to get around that way, but it'll still catch most instances. Your choice if you want to take the risk. Best idea is to find trustworthy uploaders, and that'll be up to you to find, not here.

[chrome mirage]

It got so cold that the oil pressure sensor in my car cracked

[mortal grail]

Earth has a wide variety of elements and the interactions they bring are gonna be totally different in each phase temperatures getting colder in some places is expected apparently and it makes sense due to the rocky nature of earth alongside rising sea levels which will facilitate more wind due to changing atmospheric pressure

You download it in a VM, not in your main OS. Also note that most viruses only run after the exe/archive is opened, so also technically safe to download in main OS then transfer and open in VM.

If you dont know much about cyber security I'd recommend not trying anything from anywhere apart from the actual companies.

I aint even gonna say nothin about how they depicted it at this point

[chrome mirage]

Is the game fun because I might buy it

[mortal grail]

They really goofed the red

[storm narwhal]

to be fair, if they made it realistic racing would be much harder

[rancid juniper]

DMC is a fun series even if I never played

[rancid juniper]

Oranred

[mortal grail]

It doesn't even look like that red irl

They gave it tomato juice when it's more like a cranberry juice

[chrome mirage]

It's fun to hear people talk about and see memes about it.

[rancid juniper]

this game is so tirecheeks

[rancid juniper]

the chat:

[storm narwhal]

also feat cyberpunk lookin crosswalk

it'd be pretty sick if cities started doing this ngl

[weak cedar]

One town in Japan kinda did for people looking at there phones

[storm narwhal]

it probably didn't do anything

I mean if i was absorbed in my phone a light wouldn't stop me LOL

Cool idea tho

I figure it might be more useful for drivers?

let em know if they can go or not because people ignore the rules of crosswalks

[opaque sedge]

Are there any advantages to wireless keyboards?

[storm narwhal]

less cables

and if they're multiconnect, you can use it on multiple devices without plugging it in

that's about it

get ones that can plug in tho

if you decide to get a wireless keyboard

[velvet summit]

some people may use it away from the pc as well

e.g. for streaming or a media center

[storm narwhal]

oh that too yeah i made the assumption it'd be next to the computer

[mental yoke]

What are some good headphones (with no mics). With a $100 budget

[velvet summit]

headphones don't have mics

headsets do have mics

also do you want in-ears, over ears, on ears,
open back, closed back
v profile, bassy, neutral, etc.

[storm narwhal]

I really like the HD58x from drop

but they're open ears

[velvet summit]

wireless or wired

[storm narwhal]

and neutral

and wired only

and they take a bit of time to wear-in, so it fits your head right haha

[mortal grail]

Koss porta pros

Like, unironically incredible

[storm narwhal]

fair

[mortal grail]

Even if you find them looking weird

They're fantastic

[storm narwhal]

they are really freakin good for the price

[velvet summit]

they look cool

smh

[opaque sedge]

My dream headphones are the dt 770 pro x

[storm narwhal]

might be a little pinchy on hair

[mortal grail]

No wire that's all

Nothing else

[opaque sedge]

Its 48ohms so no need for a dac amp

[velvet summit]

dac amps arent even too much

[mortal grail]

apple dongle

[opaque sedge]

I lost mine…

[storm narwhal]

can apple dongle drive a pair of planar magnetics

[velvet summit]

5 bucks

cheaper than a big mac

[opaque sedge]

Iem enthusiasts love the apple dongles apparently and find the new usb c one awesome

[opaque sedge]

Tru

Now that i think about it

I’ve never had a big mac

[storm narwhal]

apple's dac is really nice

[mental yoke]

These things look really goofy tho

you sure they good?

[storm narwhal]

yeah, he's sure

[opaque sedge]

Just the chicken sandwich from McDonald’s

[storm narwhal]

look at the reviews

[velvet summit]

100%

can confirm

[mental yoke]

They look like office headphones

[velvet summit]

they've been making those for decades

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the audeze maxwell? Yt reviewers glaze them hard

[velvet summit]

and the fact that they're still popular says volumes

[mental yoke]

okaaay.....what about over-ear headphones?

[pliant berry]

Im actually using maxwell rn lol

[storm narwhal]

audeze nuts

[mental yoke]

are they any good

[storm narwhal]

HA

sorry

[opaque sedge]

How’s music on them?

[velvet summit]

in-ears, over ears, on ears,
open back, closed back
v profile, bassy, neutral,
wired, wireless

more info is better on what you want

[opaque sedge]

Apparently you can use them wirelessly as well so u can take it with you like a regular pair of headphones

[pliant berry]

Music is actually very nice for closed back, the only thing I would say is not great on them is the mic quality

[mental yoke]

over ears, don't matter if its open or closed back... as bassy as my budget goes, and wired

[pliant berry]

the battery life is a dream though

[velvet summit]

well

more bass basically means skullcandy at that point ☠️

[opaque sedge]

Wbt build quality?

[storm narwhal]

skullcandy bass is

[velvet summit]

there is definitely alot of it

[storm narwhal]

i think excessive is an understatement

[velvet summit]

lmao

[pliant berry]

I only had for about a week but seems pretty good so far

a bit heavy

[mental yoke]

any preferences?

[velvet summit]

if you want bass, skullcandy has it

[mental yoke]

Okay that's 1

what about everything else

[opaque sedge]

I tried one of those cheap skullcandy buds for a workout once, couldn’t hear the song at all lol

[velvet summit]

lmao

[storm narwhal]

song? what song?

Just bass

[mental yoke]

any other options besides skullcandy?

[velvet summit]

honestly idk many bassy profile headphones

[storm narwhal]

same unfortunately

[mental yoke]

they don't necessarily have to be bassy

[storm narwhal]

I dislike excessive heavy bass a lot

[velvet summit]

i trend towards neutral

[mental yoke]

just a good quality in general

[velvet summit]

good audio quality generally means more neutral

[mental yoke]

i guess

tho bass is good to have

[velvet summit]

because that would be more accurate to the artist/mastering intended

[mental yoke]

sum like that yea

in that case what other headphone suggestions are there

[velvet summit]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/bass

[spiral comet]

[velvet summit]

that's actually kinda funny

they actually are all wireless lmao

[mental yoke]

bruh

i neeed the wire

[velvet summit]

wireless headphones ususally support wired connectivity

[mental yoke]

yeah but the wireless feature would be a waste of space since i'm used to wired headsets

[spiral comet]

you lier u never did i will hurt you

[wanton halo]

not you again

[mental yoke]

I am looking into these skullcandy headphones

[wanton halo]

its been months why did u come back

[mental yoke]

tho i've heard some negative things about them but then again i thought they were good

[spiral comet]

stop speaking

[mental yoke]

i forgot why i've been seeing negative reviewso on skull candy

[spiral comet]

you stop emoting

[velvet summit]

lmfao

(fake)

[spiral comet]

https://tenor.com/view/hahahaha-gif-27342590

[wanton halo]

what

[velvet summit]

they're negative because of how much bass they have basically

[velvet summit]

yeah they have some good products

[spiral comet]

in another 6 months i will return and have you killed

but first

[velvet summit]

they have a bunch of clone products

[spiral comet]

I AM THE ALPHA SIGMA OMEGA AND YOU WILL ALL BOW

[mortal grail]

See @velvet summit I knew it'd come up

💀

[velvet summit]

the clone products usually are pretty good

lmao

[mortal grail]

I am sure they're good as I tried a set

They're phenomenal for $40

[wanton halo]

then he leaves the server again

[mortal grail]

They're almost comparable to my $200 sennheisers

With a good mic

[storm narwhal]

People love the koss porta pros

[velvet summit]

or you could get the non-mic-ed porta pros

for cheaper

[mortal grail]

It's a really good set, like anything else I've tried isn't close

[mental yoke]

yeah i dont need a mic

[velvet summit]

they're also very comfortable

[mortal grail]

Not for that price

[mental yoke]

damn this search is tough

[storm narwhal]

I thought about getting them before but like I already have my current headset

[mortal grail]

Drop has had the portas on sale for like, a few weeks

$39

[velvet summit]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/table/139538 do with this filter as you will

[storm narwhal]

no way

[velvet summit]

idk about the audio quality but those are the parameters you asked for

clear your cookies if you dont want to pay rtings

whenever they say you run out of free reviews

[mental yoke]

huh....i've never seen this site before

looks hella useful

[storm narwhal]

THATS HOW YOU GET RID OF IT

WHAT

[mortal grail]

Rtings is like the most detailed tech review site on the planet

[velvet summit]

LMFAO

[mortal grail]

Like they have everything

[mortal grail]

yeah

[mental yoke]

so its a filter for searches? what else can i look up on that site?

[mortal grail]

reviews

[velvet summit]

they dont have........ uhhhh umm errr waterbottles yet

[mortal grail]

Full reviews

[mortal grail]

I'll waterbottle u in a minute

[storm narwhal]

i can't believe i never thought about clearing cookies

[velvet summit]

i love how they have blender testing

and toaster as well

[mental yoke]

well this site narrowed down my search finally....now im down to 2 options

the Sony MDR-7506 and the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro 2016

[mortal grail]

I have no idea about either of those

[velvet summit]

me neither lmfao

idk how easy it would be to get a 2016 headphone though

[mortal grail]

Not gonna pretend like they're bad or not, just no idea

[mental yoke]

i'll find a way

looks to me like the Sony headphones have a more Neautral Sound quality...

[weak cedar]

Sennheiser 🫡

[mental yoke]

meanwhile this german sounding one has cons

[mental yoke]

yeah that one

[weak cedar]

Huu

[mortal grail]

They seem to rank basically the same there

[velvet summit]

these are rating for use cases (e.g. if you want a neutral sound, those rank pretty high, but are not very good for travel)

[mortal grail]

ANYONE WHO PREFERS THAT GERMAN ONE SAY WOOOAAH

yeah ima let yall decide

[velvet summit]

flip a coin

[mental yoke]

they really both the same thing 💀

alright

[velvet summit]

maybe one has a better build quality idk

[mortal grail]

We really have no idea

[mental yoke]

alright

[mortal grail]

I'm not recommending anything

Except the ones I menioned

[mental yoke]

heads for sony tails for Sennheiser

[mortal grail]

Which yes, rtings hates but they surprised me

💀

[mental yoke]

Alexa gave me tails

Sennheiser it is

yo

[velvet summit]

i mean, kinda, for their default search params, but they did rate the comfort high, and the frequency response as slightly more bassy, and very consistent in the response consistency, and the mids are also quite accurate, and has good sound imaging, and low harmonic distortion

it does get pretty low ratings for some other things since it is open back

and isnt neutral

mixed usage: bad because open back
neutral: mid because it has a bit of a bass boost, so it's not neutral
commute/travel: bad because open back
sports/fitness: bad because it isnt stable enough for exercise (normally it's in-ears that win this one)
office: bad because open back
wireless gaming: n/a since not wireless
wired gaming: mid because poor soundstage, and bass/treble are ok but not perfect
phone calls: bad because mic is only ok and terrible sound isolation (honestly the sound isolation is the thing that brought down the rating significantly)

The Koss Porta Pro are a good option if you're looking for budget critical listening headphones. They're one of the best on-ear headphones we've tested in this price range. They're comfortable, lightweight, and have a decent open sound that caters well to most tracks. They sound sufficiently good for casual and more critical listeners but have a fragile build quality and don't block any noise due to their open design, so they won't be the most suitable for commuting especially when compared to some other on-ears. See our recommendations for the best headphones under $50 and the best closed-back headphones.

rtings: positive
rtings default weighted categories: this is garbage

though also to be fair

the ratings are from garbage to perfect

and not relative to value

which is odd

cuz i switched the igp off

[cursive arrow]

is it worth it to buy a 560 now i just want a low profile card that does better in blender than a 730 and can also run most AAA titles

[elfin mural]

no

rx 560 is pretty slow

[cursive arrow]

whats abetter option tho

[elfin mural]

depends on your pc and budget

[cursive arrow]

like almost like 1000 to like 150 USD

*100

[elfin mural]

and your pc?

so i can suggest the right gpus

[elfin mural]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6zqPxr/asrock-intel-arc-a380-challenger-itx-arc-a380-6-gb-video-card-a380-cli-6go

I'd probs do this

The only new gpu I can recc in this price range

Otherwise used gpus is a wiser choice

[opaque sedge]

Are aio’s simpler to install?

[craggy shoal]

Depends

[opaque sedge]

I just watched an assembly video for the thermalright cooler I got and man it looks daunting to assemble

[craggy shoal]

A lot of bigger air coolers suck to put on. But AIOs are just: mount the block to the CPU and mount the radiator wherever you need (probably the top of the case)

I personally prefer install AIOs lol

[opaque sedge]

Are there any good budget ones for am5 mobo’s?

[young matrix]

Not really

[opaque sedge]

F

[craggy shoal]

Not that I’m aware of. I wouldn't cheap out on an AIO first. Just find one that you like and read/watch reviews on them

[opaque sedge]

Ig I’ll deal with the thermalright

Apparently its very good at its job

[craggy shoal]

I personally hate installing big air coolers because of how tight of a fit you have to make for the screws to mount the cooler

[opaque sedge]

Yh which is why I’m concerned cuz I’m a first time builder too

[craggy shoal]

But I haven't installed one in a while so things may have changed lol a lot more room for that with AIOs lol. And then you just have to mount the radiator (difficult to but it's not insanely difficult)

If you can hold a radiator with one hand and screw it in with the other, you're good

Mounting the water block is the easiest part

[opaque sedge]

Aio’s look simpler to install ngl just watched a yt video for the same case i ordered and it didn’t look as daunting as the fan cooler

[craggy shoal]

Yeah fan coolers are annoying imo. But I also haven't installed on in ages (at least a big one with two or more fans lol)

[elfin mural]

The game..

It looks atrocious

While performing atrociously

Modern gaming™

i have to rely on frame gen on native 1080p

on mix of low/med settings

[opaque sedge]

After researching pc builds I finally ended up learning about optimization for platforms and it looks like most devs prefer nvidia is there a particular reason why other than it just being a dominant choice in the gpu market?
