If you can handle open box

Only RGB is on the keyboard backlighting and that is most likely changeable. Probably in Dragon Center or whatever MSI is doing now

How do I decide where it downloads?

idle nexus

I would prioritize everything to go on a secondary HDD if thats what you have, except for like, newer high end games that you really want the quicker load times.

idle nexus
#

and windows

#

[your respective deity or in the case of lackthereof, uh, I dunno pick something that would offer you lots of help ig] help you if you try to run windows on an HDD nowadays lol

light egret
#

but it depends on the size of the SSD and HDD and whatnot.

#

It is fun, trust me bro, best quality of use on HDD

light egret
#

oh well yeah that's under the assumption that the SSD is your boot drive lol

fervent stump

At the moment idk how to do most of that so I’m just getting a ssd at the moment and just getting games and in the future after my computer id get a HDD

nocturne flicker
#

I love 10 minute boot times kekw

#

you can run multiple SSDs instead of having an HDD as your secondary

idle nexus

HDDs are good for uh backing up pictures & stuff like that

yes run many SSDs

fill all your NVMe slots then throw some SATAs if that doesn't cover it

fervent stump
idle nexus
fervent stump

#

however, be aware that using some NVMe slots can make SATA slots become unavailable

e.g., on my Z590 Unify-X, if you populate M2_2 with an NVMe, SATA ports 2, 4, & 5 are no longer available

tranquil pebble

you can put three of these heckin things where those red circles are

fervent stump
fervent stump
#

Later could I ask you questions about a few things with fans, rgb and the motherboard? I don’t know about some things

idle nexus
#

you could, for example, put three of these. I would, however, see if you can find PCIe 4.0

idle nexus
#

that's a good idea imo

#

I've made the mistake over the years of buying multiple 1tb or 500gb drives

#

better to get a 2tb & if you want more you'll have two more slots

I decided to heck with it and rode my bike despite the thunder

Snow doesn't last the winter there anymore so the excess water causes floods

velvet summit

#

I think the hottest attic I ever had to work in was just over 140 F and we couldn't stay up there for more than like 15 minutes at a time lol. It was awful. They floored the whole attic with no windows and no ventilation (yet) so the heat just gathered there and built up.

And the snow doesn't come down throughout the winter anymore, but usually comes down all at once in big storms

# fervent stump Ssd

well, just pay attention to the price difference. 2.5" SSDs have kind of reached the point where they're not going to get any cheaper because of the cost to make them & iirc an SSD is going to read/write somewhere around 400mb/s v. an NVMe with PCIe 4.0 should be 6500mb/s+. 4tb NVMes are very expensive tho. You miiight do better getting two 2tb but you just gotta see when it comes time to get it

light egret
#

I was doing new construction

velvet summit
#

oh

I miss not having AC in my car because I got used to hot temperatures a lot quicker

what were you doing up there? electrician?

so alarms, TV Ethernet lines, home theater stuff, cameras, etc

damn fancy home theater

fervent stump
velvet summit
#

lmao we didnt bother with putting the cables in walls so there's just speaker wire all over my living room

#

In my sister's AirBNB the other day, they were using Ethernet cable for speaker wire. Seems like that might be too small no?

light egret
#

I worked on houses that my entire neighborhood couldn't afford if they all went in together on one house lol

#

most of our clients were rich af

velvet summit
#

oh

#

the monka emote is gone because of lack of boost

velvet summit
#

well, assuming they're using passive speakers

#

might be able to get away with it if it's powered speakers

light egret
#

we did some smaller houses too, but they were still expensive houses. The smallest houses we worked on were gentrifying houses in the city, so they were super small "affordable" houses that were still double the price of your average home in the area cause of location and gentrification

velvet summit
#

damn

light egret
#

but ethernet is so much more expensive than proper 2/16 wire

velvet summit
#

the amount of current carried if they were powered speakers should be fine? especially if they used like 2 pairs for each

#

though terminating those cables to use it like that is

#

quite difficult from the thin gauge

velvet summit
#

which should be enough for 2 bookshelf speakers

sinful blade
#

Are there any decent cheap speakers for fiancés pc? She’s getting headaches from her headphones

velvet summit

how cheap

chrome mirage
velvet summit
#

if you want cheap, go check out some thrift shops because they often have dirt cheap speakers for cheap that... well, arent the best audio wise but do the job

light egret

yeah lv shouldnt be run parallel to high voltage

though in the cases low voltage does need to be run with high voltage, shielded patch cable exists for that

my home audio setup makes up of... thrift shop finds and old equipment my dad had KEKW

lol I got a few surround sound systems that were thrift finds

One of the speakers had a tiny 1991 Chevy Caprice police car in it

and I got a 7.1 from a family friend from my wife's side

velvet summit
#

the av reciever is on the opposite side of the room as well so i bought a 25ft spidif cable to reach

the reciever is some old technics thing from like 1993

chrome mirage
#

My friend that sold me his stereo for cheap is now jealous of my audio setup because he bought all new and it sounds worse

velvet summit
#

lmao

#

yeah old audio equipment tends to age like fine wine

#

it's even similar in that some speaker flanges disintegrate over time
just like wine corks

#

i replaced mine with rubber? ones i found on ebay

chrome mirage

I was able to fix the cassette player on this one by buying replacement belts from a small business that sells replacement parts online

light egret
#

I don't think I've ever actually listened to a cassette album.

also yeah the autostop feature on my cassette deck isnt working properly, but i havent found the motivation to fix it yet since it technically still works

I remember getting one from like a radio disney fare at one point, but when we tried to put it into the car radio, it didn't work, and when we ejected it, it kept all the tape so it just pulled away with the tape stuck in the slot lol

My dad had like four boxes of vinyls

You can still buy them, I bought a Linkin Park album on cassette a few months ago

He had og Beatles vinyls

lmao now I kinda wanna collect some cassettes

velvet summit

but yeah, there is a reason why cassettes were the de-facto music medium for a few? decades

light egret
#

but I have spotify

my phone is compact, reliable, and good quality audio at least for a deaf guy like me

also yeah phones pretty much killed physical media from the convience

We haven't played any of them so we don't know how well they are conditionally.

chrome mirage
#

My grandpa kept his in a musty basement and they are still fine

#

I had to clean the mold off though

nocturne flicker
#

But he probably played them alot. He was a college radio guy back in the 70s so he'd be playing them very frequently over the station

light egret
#

we have ours in a box safely inside the house lol

#

we are gonna build a bar at some point and wanna put a whole audio system with a record player, CD player, cassette, and bluetooth in it

#

tbh, we will likely use bluetooth more than anything, but it would be nice to use the others

velvet summit
#

i would definitely say you should get an automatic turntable

chrome mirage
#

I was wrong he bought his when he moved to Canada

velvet summit
#

manually queuing tracks is a slight pain

light egret
#

wait what is an automatic turntable

nocturne flicker
#

He signed off every night with Rocky Raccoon, so everyone just called him that

chrome mirage
light egret
#

ah

#

i always did it manually

#

it's not that bad

chrome mirage
#

Mines a little dusty

velvet summit
# light egret it's not that bad

depends
automatic is way more convenient; drop the vinyl in, press a button, enjoy

manual queuing is more like, drop the vinyl in, move the tone arm/stylus to be at the start, start the turntable, lower the tone arm, then enjoy

#

a few more steps

chrome mirage
light egret
#

yeh but I mean I grew up with what my dad had lol. I had to fix it up and stuff but I wasn't gonna go out and buy a whole new turn table

#

So im used to doing it manually

#

I have no idea where that table is tho

velvet summit
#

yeah i use a manual one; the lp120x

#

an automatic one is like lonewolf's which is the lp60x

#

iirc AT is releasing the lp70 soon though?

nocturne flicker
#

I'd need to buy one and I don't know squat about audio stuff. I'm the type of guy with cheap logitech speakers and then I'm done

light egret
#

All I remember about it is you couldn't plug it into regular speakers cause the audio was weird and very quiet, but if I hooked it up to my amp it worked fine

#

and idr why

fervent stump
#

Anyone else like the strix 4080S?

velvet summit
#

you need phono amp

#

there are some turntables with internal phono preamps, but many audio enthusiasts dont like it

chrome mirage
#

My audio technica has a built in amp that can be turned off

velvet summit
#

usually the built in ones are cheap

#

i also use the one built into my reciever, but technically the "audiophile" way is to have a seperate unit for the phono stage

chrome mirage
#

It sounded fine when I tested it but I use phono anyways

velvet summit
#

yeah same

chrome mirage
#

Mostly because my PC is using the other input on the stereo

velvet summit
#

honestly, for the same price as the lp120x, i could have bought a turntable without an internal amp and a really high quality tone arm and a wood deck

#

but oh well

#

it's not like this one is a bad turntable

#

it's just a bit plasticky

chrome mirage
#

I have the lp60x and its been pretty good. Only thing I dislike about it is the lack of adjustable weights on the tone arm.

velvet summit
#

yeah that was the main reason why i got the lp120x

chrome mirage
#

I've had a couple albums that would skip because the weight wasn't right and I had to put a dime on the tonearm to fix it

velvet summit
#

i wanted to have the freedom of changing to whatever stylus i wanted pretty much
