Lol I have hdds from like 2012 
Ig they don’t make them like they used to
Meanwhile got ssds which stopped working after like 3
Or they make them better now, cuz the study is from 2013 
I have HDDs from 2005. They are measuring constant use not while a device is off.
In use from 2012
Yeah if you keep one unpowered for a long time there is a chance that some data will be lost from cells losing their charge
I've had 2 hard drives fail after 2 years. They were Seagate drives though.
I think old hdds were just built diff
Exactly
Sea gate?
Hard drives also don't spin when they aren't reading or writing
Both sg and wd
Yeah
Idk that 3-5 year data is from 2013 so
You spin down your drives?
Yeah thats why they will take a second when accessed sometimes
I heard it’s not worth
Like my external hdd earlier today had to spin up to transfer data
Most of my commonly used files are on SSDs so I rarely touch my hard drives.
Never bought a single HDD in my life
What about devices that included hdds
No iPod classics?
I honestly feel the same way for CPUs.
Never had the money back then
GPUs and memory tuning seem more worthwhile
fr
i only oc my cpu if i have headroom with my uv
Depends on the cpu
LN2 is impractical. For actual use, CPU overclocking isnt what it used to be.
nerd
why did i say that lmfao
ignore me
You can get almost bigger clock speed gains on lga1700 CPU’s than you could on like 1151 v2
Long gone are the days where 1+ GHz of headroom without OV is there
5.8ghz 13600k’s
im sure you could get 1ghz out some cpus
Not without voltage tuning lol
13600kf can do 6ghz single core if u got a good binn
do that ez
If you show me a modern CPU that takes an OC as spectacularly as my old 920 did I would be rather impressed.
2.66 to 4.0 on air lol
and no voltage increase
why excluse voltage
nothing wrong with it aslong as ur in safe levels and can cool it
ggood exist 
My friends 7600k. 3.6 to 5.2 🗿
and VRMs too. Better have good ones.
get good vrms then
last time I overclocked a CPU, I LOST performance from it lol
https://hwbot.org/users/vertex_fr custom loop
HWBOT is a site dedicated to overclocking. We promote overclocking achievements and competitions for professionals as well as enthusiasts with rankings and a huge hardware database.
Probably unstable
Or a bad oc too
I figured but even a single increment over stock speed was making it unstable. It was a 3700X.
Ohh
I have not tried to on x3d and do not plan to.
Ye for ryzen oc doesn’t do much
On recent ones it’s a bit better
can confirm
I don’t think you even can
That 3700X also never hit its advertised boost speeds even with overkill cooling
i can oc my 13600kf alot more than my 5500
Unless it’s zen 5 X3d
ima do a slight oc
I still wont. I see no need for an OC.
it is not nearly as clock choked as 5700x3d lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl-znPOmi08 i google ddr4, i dont think this is ddr4
Which CPU should you buy Intel i5 13600K or Ryzen 7 9700X? This is a head-to-head showdown detailed gaming and productivity comparison of CPU performance including all relevant gaming benchmarks. This video will help you to decide which CPU is the Best Value and which Processor comes out on Top. When performance, features, and value matter a det...
9600x is newer, kind of unfair comparison lol
im comparing to what i have in my rig now
also title says 9700x and thumbnail says 9600x
13600k faster if you use good ram
Good enough
i was a confused for a sec kek
only worth for me is x3d probably then, or i could upgrade my platform to d5
x3d is a monster in some of the games I play, like absolutely annihilates everything else
Aren’t you gpu bound
5700x3d + 6900 XT... doubt it... once I put 9800x3d in I will be probably
Ig it depends on game
chekcing if your cpu bound on intel is weird i guess
usage doesnt reflect if your bound cause e cores
at most x3d smooths out the lows
unless the GPU is not running full throttle
Yea
this is huge from a gameplay perspective though
my lows are terrible
like i can get 30fps lows in a few games i forgot which
i need to reinstall capfame x
hold up
I have 0 fps lows in some games... but... they are also trash tier games XD

welp time to figure out if x3d really will benfit me, sidenote cod can use all your cores
interesting fact: 6900 XT has an insane amount of L3 cache... 128 MB
I have seen games that get worse FPS for every additional core it uses
its funny
Multithreading is not always done right
a 9800x3d has very simiar multicore to me
9800x3d is a monster for its core count
and a 9700x only looses by a amount you will nevr see
imagine what a Zen 5 Threadripper would do in MT
they exist
zen5c ones atleast
what should i remove/add
okay..... i should prob get that extraction kit
problem solved
crazy how my fps didnt even change
gpu0 on fire
hotspot throttling, and damn near thermal shutdown
eh, that will be a bandaid fix at best
You do not even know if it is fully stable lol
you would be surprised
im confident its tsable
searching for 7800x3d and comparable gpu benchmarks in cod, so fun
oop sorry mr benchmarc, should have posted your hwbot stuff

i think it can beat the X3D chips now
😂
I need to un-retire
dayum
pst?
taking records
You should, it'll be fun
You can definitely go for some wr on chiller with the new stuff, yc on 16c am5
Rather, aio out the window in winter
Or ice bucket
I once had a dream where console commands worked irl and started noclipping everywhere
physics if it didn't exist
You, does x3d benefit you even in gpu bound areas, and is it a reasonable amount
Hey y’all what would you recommend is a good $2000 budget gaming laptop that has a good gpu and cpu that can handle a lot(for my sister)
Something with a 5060
Do 5060 exist yet?
Should be very soon
4060 is decent, I wouldnt really spend more than $800-1000 on a laptop personally
how come a laptop
You fall off heavily value wise and the higher the gpu the hotter it gets
Sometimes 4070 laptops are decent value
She like laptops
Foxy and felix know much more abt specific models than I do though
uh if thats the only reason... i wouldnt get a laptop, i mean to each there own but unless you need it to be portable id get a desktop
@mortal grail so this is what I discovered with the 360 that NO ONE BOTHERED TO TELL ME
So if you want to upgrade a 360 hard drive with a new SATA drive, it cannot be any SATA hard drive like you cannot install any random drive into the console into the bay and expect it to work
So apparently on natural terms, the 360 only supports ONE MANUFACTURER and A COUPLE MODELS of WD blue drives, and the drives in question have to run a VERY SPECIFIC OLDER FIRMWARE in order for the Xbox to actually READ the drives
So how people are able to upgrade to any random hard drive or SSD they want, in order to do that, you pretty much have to RGH mod your 360 just so you can use another drive or an SSD, so yeah NO ONE told me this before hand
@sweet phoenix can x3d help boost fps even when gpu bound
Well it would boost fps in a way where the gpu would be the limiting factor
So it depends on what is being compared
Yes to some extent
mhh
to what extent would a 9800x3d or 7800x3d benfit over a 13600kf
cant really find much info comparing similar specs to me, to a 9800x3d/7800x3d, so ill ask the human wikapedia
With a 7700xt, the main differences will be in 1% lows
Not sure to what degree
I'd imagine less than 10%
dammit
okay
with that info, ddr5 probably wont do much either]
Oh 13600k on ddr4 to 7800x3d is probably a bit more noticeable
what does ur fps calculator say
I forgot ddr4
ooo
Uhhhhhh
hope?
13600k loses like 10% performance or so on ddr4
ooooo
Its like 10-15% worse than the 7800x3d with ddr5
I doubt it's a full 25% worse tho
if you had to estimate in your noggen, how could that affect games like cod
In games that love x3d, maybe just around 20% or so
mhh
ima figure out how much it would cost me to do 9800x3d, then how much a gpu would cost
maybe
the current price hikes and tarrifs dont look promising
thats why im making my pc before the tariffs
im littrely waiting for the overworked social secerity people to send the damn cash 😢
gg
how does the 9700x compare
...

if i had te money then you know how fast i would have bought that bro
do i need 16 cores? no, is it cheap?? yes
yeah
im lucky i did hella research a while ago on am5
Bit better than a 13600k on ddr5
so what im hearing is, am5 is the goat
yeah
ooo yeahhh, i dont even need wifi naymore
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pRLdnQ/msi-meg-x870e-godlike-eatx-am5-motherboard-meg-x870e-godlike who tf would buy this
please whos crazy enough
Shut
thats my entire pc
you know i wanna vommit
Do it
why
then get it
when the cash is im doing it
watch i do all this and i start playing games that are 100% gpu bound 
I have seen several people in the msi discord with this
I don’t understand them
idiots, also slide a invite
imagine a game so poorly made that the fps is NIC bound
network interface card
OOO YEAHHHHHHHHH i dont even need a top end am5 motherboard. unlike intel they are alll unlocked
gg
i love amd
same
why are their a bunch of white mobos for a good price
I may be stupid enough to buy a $300 motherboard but $1.2k is a level of stupidity I can’t get behind
better off burning your cash for heat lol
ew
Join the club
what does urs looklike
“I just game”
Pc specs: 9950x3d msi godlike 5090 suprim
Mediocre because of my cable management
show
ill be waiting, and while i wait ill be syncing my rgb between computers
i shall stay up all night for this
I want off my degraded 13600k
i.. well i just want more fps it prob will dump less heat in my room this summer too
Lol 7800x3d sticks under 90w and can be cooled by literally anything
at least you can RMA it. I bought my 13600K used & delidded it so it's my problem lol
meanwhile my 13600kf dumping god knows how much
RIP
ill only abondon my plan of x3d if at time of purchase i find a gpu at the same price with a good increse
Prob around 180w
With your undervolt
i can check
Probably very
I've only ever used it for benchmarks
if i wanted to i could littrely drop $2000 on my pc, id prob only reuse the psu and ssd 
it's never even been on the internet
Buy a 4090 for $2000 and run it with your 5500
LMFAO

THAT WOULD BE FUNNY
the psu in the 5500 rig would explode
okay its kinda funny, the 7700xt is too fast for it too
It'll be fine
Introducing the next generation in value; the EVGA BQ Series. These power supplies take some of the best features from EVGA's award winning power supply lineup, like a 140mm fan with near silent operation and modular cables to make one of the best values today in high performance power supplies.
🙂
Just power limit the 4090 by like 40%
lol where are you getting a 4090 for $2k anyway?
thats the challange
Hws
oh nice
whats hws
r/hardwareswap
Lmao
side note why is my cooling so much better
I got the 550w (or 540? I dunno it was something kinda strange) version of this PSU & it's been running my dad's 5600g without any issues for like 2-3 years now
it normaly hits 80-85
originally I got the PSU just to test custom loops without having to disconnect a bunch of crap to run the PSU for the pump only
My 850w bq died in 8 months
oo yeah i dont have a side panel on, im not puting it back on until i decide what upgrade i want to do kek
mines is like 2 yaers old i think
my smart is like, idk 5
THEY ARE TEMPTING ME TO make my 2nd rig am5
NO
im not doing BOTH pcs
no balls
i wanna do a useless upgrade, but not two
mhh idk if i like how white looks in a black case
I only spent $27 on that 510w EVGA PSU btw on Prime Day lol
do we know when the next prime day is
In 62.3627 days
why are you so.. accurate
I made this up
Prime day is July 15th-16th according to Google
that power connector vomitcat
lol
old firmwar
it doesnt detect the keeboard
sad
ayee i can control rgb on multiply evices
NOOOOO IT DOESNT SUPPORT ONE OF MY KEYBOARDS
copper pipes suck
like I can't even accidentally touch them without it starting to tarnish in a couple months
which keyboard?
sometimes there are plug-ins
my icloud app keeps opening itself for some reason
somebody make a app that replaces ghub, steelseries, etc
i would end up with lik 50 diffrent programs
imo the future for peripherals is local web apps
Apparently ghub screws with your mouse
o yeah dont they run little web servers
I’m not touching that app 
ask in OpenRGB discord. They're super helpful in my experience
ugh i hate swapping between keyboards, it hurtst
one dude made me a version basically cuz MSI Z490 Gaming Carbon Wifi had some weird controller thing going on lol
oo
some do, wooting and keychron use web utilities that change most of the essential settings. only things you can't do is things that need to run in background like macros
im fine with webservers everywhere
im trying to get my ram to detect
not going well i know it works with openrgb
I could never get it to detect my teamgroup memory
can be a pain to remember all the websites but id say its better than an app taking up space
already have like 50 bookmarks on my browser, what's a few more

check the b650-a wifi at $160 out
also the b850 riptide wifi
ggood said smthn about 64gb actually being better bins but ive no idea
O
I’m not spending that much hell no
You’ve never seen the one
show me the one
oh hell nah thatt ulgy mf
read that as liver mixer at first
gboard stickers will never not be funny
lol
2x24 is the best yes, specifically m-die

ddr5 worth?
Not for gaming, only bandwidth intensive things, 32x2 is DR so harder to run and overclock
mr hooz
im partial to just making current stuff 10% better for alot less
more money to pocket for laptop :p
how do you guys feel about this monitor? I can get the price down by like another hundred
The Sony inzone 480hz was $730 at Walmart if you are interested
?
how do you sell your rigs
if i want two monitors, is it cool to have something good and the other be like mediocre monitor for work?
to be honest free is free
i'd use the oled for gaming and the other one for a second usable screen
ahh okay so it doesnt matter one monitor is like 240 / 480 hz and other is like 60
not really
you might run into a problem like @fresh timber over here where your main monitor is held back a bit for some reason
but you can probably fix it
remember that time when your main monitor was handicapped by your father's television
o that was cause HDR and some stupid stuff
not because of the tv?
o it was the tv
like enabling hdr on one would mes up othe other and limit bandwith for osme reason
but if ur leaving hdr off, or is fine iwth tinkering your ifne
it was available for 400 a while ago
also the alienware dell awdf whatever was available for like 400 with rakuten
Includes a game you cant even run
oh dang lol
yeah ive been in the market for a monitor like that too lol
but i think i do too much work on my pc to go oled just yet
actually let me just get something with more Hz than the one i linked
burn in is still a problem
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im gooood
Anyone got any good pcpartpicker list for a budget of 1300$
@honest birch
That should be enough for a solid build I think
yeah here was the deal
people were getting another 20% off with capitalone shopping or soemthing so it was like 380
"Get Assassin's Creed Shadows with purchase of qualifying Intel product" sounds like a threat
What do you have?
lmfao
Had to return my rtx 5080 due to no post no matter what i did and started using my old r9 380
….
wdym no post?
ROG Astral
Damn. Why return when you can do an RMA?
Didn’t feel like it
oky so I guess no "good" deals for monitors rn then?
But now you'll have to jump back into finding a card. You know how difficult it is atm.
There is.
I have a backup 3070 and a 4070 Ti Super
No worries my friend.
^
I wish I had a backup
Want one of mine?
All I got is a dell 5700xt
I don’t really want them tbh
I would kill for one of yours
Your backups would be my main lmao
Ooh .ok
Yea..

Temps are abnormally hot
That's rdna1 for you
well there's your issue
It used to run at an average 78-84c
It’s approaching 92-95c while under load
time to buy a phase change thermal pad
And I’m not even putting it through any bad games
Just d2 and rivals
Those are the most intensive games
Undervolt
it is
You can also flash a better bios on it very easily
I have a custom profile for it with an undervolt
Hm
What’s the best bios for the 5700xt? I just let it update to most recent when I got it.
I can look
Pls do
would it be possible to try to make an ai model for the company that i work for to be able to read inventory and cross reference it with items that it can be used for with a 5090 or am i on a pipe dream here
Repasting it is already a pain
Probably
You can do whatever you set your mind to
cause we are struggling i went in for overtime today and we couldnt achieve anything because of no parts lmao
then i got to thinking maybe i could make some kind of model to sell off to them or get me in the office cause im getting tired of the labor lol
would make the purchase actually worth lmao
I would assume you’d be able to
Flash at your own risk, https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/216762/powercolor-rx5700xt-8192-191220 this would be the best vbios for the 5700 xt
Installing it tomorrow then

How does one get the techie role
you have to prove that you have a relatively deep enough knowledge in a certain tech topic
and also prove that your personality is not aggressive
usually recommended for the role by a few other techies
Ah
don't worry the fans on my PC spin pretty fast when downloading a game or doing something too
it gets pretty loud, kinda worried they are hot
guess it's because prebuilt OEM or something
I have deep knowledge in how too build computers in Minecraft and that's about it tbh😭
i mean, that would mean you're fairly knowledgeable about logic circuits then 🧐
Just installed a custom keyless entry system
idk if that would be enough though lmfao i dont think there is a need for an electronics techie here and you'd need to know a bit more than just that
Yea lol
i made it to top 100 in steel nomad with my set up!!!
"solve pi to unlock this door"
Gonna be there a while
@honest birch i weighed my options, gpu after graduation makes alot more sense frfr
graudation present to my self
i stole this from zotac discord anyone know what this is they say its coming from the gpu

could be something else
weird sound tho
hey you
im doing more research on $1000 laptops

did your pc just die or what
maybe its the psu?
NOW ITS MY 4TB 990 PRO
they just stopped working?
My 5080 wouldn’t post
No matter what I did
Now that I swapped the gpu out for a spare rtx 4070 super I had lying around
My ssd stopped working
A year..
@dense locust wyd
$280 4TB nvme it is then
well at least they are under warrenty right? 
Sadly.. not anymore
odd that two components died on the same pc
hey cutie
your weird

Damn I hope you put some files onto another drive every once in a while

Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
What yall think
If yall see any better parts lmk
Are you set in the socket and GPU choice?
Nah
But the only game I play rust, runs best on 9800x3d
What's your budget
I can see a few potential improvements but I'd need info for that
But I'd say it's a competent list
Except for the Corsair ram
I live on sheppard afb in tx
I want to keep the budget as low as possible but revolve it around the 9800x3d
Like around 1500$ I can spend on it
But if I need to sacrifice budget on gpu and upgrade that later I would do that
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8KmZrM
Slightly less money, more storage, better memory and optimized motherboard
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
PSU can be cheaper tho
How will you update the motherboard?
has flashback
Why would I do that
Won’t run the cpu without an update
Oh I see
How for this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fpsQBq
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
1545 before tax
75 bucks cheaper or so than your list was
Only sacrifice really is that you have a 650 (so upgrade path might be a little less powerful)
Lemme see if a 750 would work
Looks solid to me, I'll save a ton of money buying some parts used as well
Hardwareswap always has some crazy deals
There you go https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Knvt4p
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
still cheaper than yours and now has a 750
Yeah that's solid, I'll need to watch a video on how to update that motherboard lmao
You think I should go for 64gbs of ram?
Probably overkill
BTW
The 9800X3D should be fine on the cooler I looked for because it is better than the one used here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE6CHHkGqD8

yo
i cant update my pc to windows 11
tf is this
anyone help?
ill slide 10 bucks if someone can
I'd do a better motherboard
Barebones vrms on the lightning
6+1+1
Why?
anyone else's arctic p12s make this metallic noise when starting up? I recorded a single one but with all of them it's very noticeable every time they spin to low rpm

Most of the laptop aint even a laptop its mostly batteries 💀
Snagged a classic, with box and manuals
Needed to get this before the retro community kinda unforgets it enough to make it stupid expensive
Why are sfx psu so hard to find holy crap
Because they're niche so there's less of em and they cost more
You in the US?
Yea
Found one at microcenter 850 for 150
That's a good price yeah
By making a account I can get 25 dollars off as well
save money, live better
Lian li psu decent?
That's a steal
Their sfx one yeah it's good
Do they've more than one sfx now?
Thought they still had just the one
I… someone… someone stop me from going in there
Just no
🤮
@fresh timber todays the day 🙂
Jp you’ve built pcs before right
Yeah it's alright. But you're limited to 2x8 pins and that price is quite awful
They have other good units now
He has not
Jp doesn’t know anything about computers
He’s never even seen one in person
Anyways I gotta question
to be fair without spending from 150 to 400 dollars theres not much else
Shoot it
Would it be incredibly stupid to build my pc at my desk but my room has a carpeted floor
ive done 3 on a carpeted floor
of course on my desk but i was touching the floor
Well it would be “safer”
If you want specifically a white psu sure but you can get better for less regardless
Different case choice will allow atx as well
Many sff/mff allow atx
Why?
i already have a case that is sfx only
What's the cpu/gpu
Some floors have bad interactions with glass
Such as tile
Just build it on carpet
I put a clean blanket down so I don’t lose anything small into the carpet
for now it will be ryzen 7 5800x and a 1060 6gb until i can afford a better gpu
Yeah I was gonna do that cause of static or wtv
Which gpu do you have in mind
I’d give you my 5700xt if I had money
not sure yet
I meant on the counter
Committing to an 850 without planning is interesting considering the circumstances
One sec
Ok so - I have the option to build it in the kitchen which doesn’t have a carpeted floor
a 850 will cover pretty much everything i want to put in it besides like new gen gpu
Ye just do it on the counter
4 so far
Or if you have a garage over there
Alr
Well the thing is you only have 2 pcie cable plugs on sp850
No desk in there and super wet and dirty floors
You also don't even get fancy cables
So it's not ideal
Usually cooler master has a nice vsfx gold for less
Lmao..what.
Ye then kitchen it is
im guessing its about 250 not on sale
so sale would be about 230
When it's on sale it's been as low as 110 for 850w
and thats saying you can find it
And with white available
150 is a lot for even an sfx psu that lacks a full feature set
newegg has like nothing and amazon only sells used for the most part
Yeah that's why I'm saying consider waiting my guy
150 is a lot
Like a LOT for any psu, sfx or not
You think it’s not enough?
sfx not really they are stupidly expensive
If it had braided cables I'd encourage it, looks like the version that doesn't have it
I've literally helped build sfx systems here for years you can trust me lol
110 is the usual good sfx price
It's more like it could end up being like a 5070 which a good 650 is enough
maybe but they are so rare to find someone actually selling them
I think it's just the timing. It's been very common to find good ones for 110
I can see what you see at this moment
But in like a week or two?
I would consider waiting
not what i mean, i mean no one is selling them
Eh
V sfx is a popular pick
I didn't bring it up either but the century mini is also 105
That one is solid
microcenter has 8, amazon has about the same and some of them are used
Good sfx is around 110
We've had as low as 95 even
Play smart with that and an a620i lightning, it's the cheapest way to get into high end sfx
i already have a motherboard
Was it expensive?
Doesn’t Corsair have a sfx
Not on sale rn
200+
not really i bought used
Wasn’t sure if they had any on sale refurb
So probably like 120-ish
They might, that's actually a great suggestion if you can link it
I can never remember refurb store
i guess all and all i dont have a good reason to go to microcenter now
Ah
Ye not for 150, I would wait just a little while
I love waiting over a month for checks 
just wanted to have her computer actully going so its not a big annoying paper weight in her room
just wait for cyber monday
Oof
when it comes back in stock
There’s amazon sales now so
Way better
@gleaming sedge try and see if you can get this one
The century mini is also much better for the price that I linked earlier too
SP for 150 is just mad expensive
really dont want to drive 4 hours to just to go to ikea now though....
I wanna build my next pc in an Xbox 360 case
Do I get a plex pass now that they are increasing price 
i know she would be bored in there
please dont remind me, i really dont have the money for it right now
Maybe there's a factory furniture outlet closer to home
4 hours would've been a big day trip
Ikea isn't the be all end all
I like to go to ikea just to get ideas really
Also having a skadis with a 3d printer is kind of epic
i know but she wants to go do something today so it means i spend half my paycheck in gas so we can go somewhere for like 2 hours and spend 8 hours just on the road hoping i dont break down again
we have been every where around us
Mini golf, comedy club
8hr car drive for shopping???
and she does not want to stay is (curses of dating someone that does not like to stay in bed all day)
Time to travel by plane
Arcade, restaurant (save in gas and spend on food)
4 hours there and 4 hours back
That's like a holiday man
Ye
You could spend on a nice restaurant for that much gas money
My friends complain about driving somewhere 40min away xD
I mean if you guys like car rides that's different
i dont really have the money for the arcade since that would be a hour trip to the big city
Keeping in mind I am the one offering to drive
I mean more importantly is there not an ikea closer to home? Idk I don't wanna step on your toes here
4 hours one way is a crazy road trip
I hate going to the city here unless I have work in the area on the same day. Easy 100usd just to get in and eat something
she wanted to go to a museum down in that area but didnt want to spend 46 dollars for a ticket when i have to spend 50 dollars for the gas round trip
sadly no unless i want to go into Canada
Damn
Well if she wants to go there it's different
But good luck man
4 hours is a long ass time in the car lol
Time to visit canadia then
very, i would take high way but i dont trust the car on the high way right now
How long would it take if you did go highway?
like 3
not really
maybe ill go to microcenter and spoil my self to a new mic
give me some kind of reason to go there
she always want to go to different stores but when i pick one she looks at it on google then we dont go in and look around and it can be so annoying at times
Oh boy
shes more of a country girl so tech is a little boring for her so thats why ikea was on the list
good mic recommendations?
oh the G yeti is on sale
Fifine on amazon
already have one
For something in MC? Not sure lol
You're doing pretty well at that point
Not much better out there until you hit like modmic territory
(I'm not really a guy to talk to for up to date mic suggestions tho)
I feel like the logi mic might be a step back
They've never really had good ones to date
If you consider any yeti, do yeti nano not the og one
ill just stick to what i have then
Yeti finally improved after 15 years?
maybe headphones
The old yetis are rubbish by today's standards
Yeah they are, the nano is ok from what I’ve heard
Hm alr
Still not greatest value though
nova 5 has better battery life and is cheaper
Nova pro is good, amazon has them on sale for like 130 sometimes
Wired or wireless both are decent
id like wireless ideally
i mean both is fine just wireless mainly would be great
Nova pro is the best one off the top of my head
Astro high end is like good, but the mics are garbage
They just don't have good wireless to match wired clarity
Long cable sennheiser > wireless imo
Like hd560s is just plain better
Or game one if you wanted the mic version
i want wireless so i can use it on my phone and or game with out a shirt on when it gets really hot since i can not stand the cable of my head phones touching my sides and shoulder plus im so tired of the cable at times
I mean it's up to you I'm just setting realistic expectations lol
Wireless audio just is not that great on the whole, there are exceptions like above
I think is it cloud iii wireless? Is likely barely on the edge of decent?
There's really very few
If you want top quality sound
i mean im playing gta and minecraft and maybe some other things and talking on discord im sure almost anything would be fine
im using some HS55 right now and i like it but cord is annoying and the earmuffs are falling off
HS55 is not great
A huge array of choices here would be better sounding including everything I mentioned prior
right and yet i have been doing just fine with these so im sure what ever i pick it will be so much better
I've experience with those, they were ok a few years back for like super budget
Even still you want it to be a choice that's top shelf quality right
i got them for like 25 dollars so i was not to worried about that
Wired vs wireless, wireless almost always loses
Wireless competes in many instances just to sound like half decent wired
With latency challenges a constant evolving part of it
Unfortunately wireless headsets aren't like wireless mice
Latency still exists
Wireless mice have effectively no latency
Way higher
Like wayyyyy higher
Maxwell is pretty nice wireless, mic isn’t the best though
oh good to know microcenter does price match

https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/razer/viper-v2-pro
The Razer Viper 8KHz is a lightweight, true ambidextrous mouse thanks to the two buttons on either side. It looks physically identical to the Razer Viper, but wi...
It's really effectively nil
On audio I'm talking like 10ms range
Not ±2ms
Todays the day 🙂
for? good luck
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/astro/a50-gen-4-wireless-2019
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/corsair/void-pro-rgb-wireless
The Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019 are premium wireless gaming headphones. They have a similar design to the previous-generation Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017 but...
Meanwhile good vs bad wireless headphones^
50ms vs 10ms
Ik but you see what I mean right
Look how big the headphones are
Vs the mouse
40ms more vs 2ms more lmao
And good headphones with a dedicated station is 10
Do you mean the one where they do sweeps
One sec
This right
V2 optical is really close to v3
Oh
Idk the mouse tester graph then
Op1 is good ye
Oh that
Those aren't good to communicate for reccs so I leave them alone
Rarely ever refer to them
People just see a graph that looks like an earthquake reading lmao
Ofc but point still is wireless mice still don't take the L like headphones do
They're so close it's effectively nil
Think of it as I say like
Oled vs ips
Ofc there's a difference
But it's not something that you NEED to leverage
An advantage nonetheless
But it's still effectively nil in the broad scheme of things
I totally get the chasing latency part but yeah
Ik
You're talking only a couple ms
People's internet connections will give them 20x that delay
Yeah
I get what you're saying for sure I just don't put a huge stock into it like other stuff
Like yeah def wireless headphones I always call out
40ms is disgusting
BT wireless buds are like 60-100, it's barely any better and you wouldn't wanna play comp like that
It's just something very few companies have really brought up to scratch with
I really thought that’s what it was
Hhmm
microcenter wont price match if the item is on sale at all will they?
If it's brick and mortar it should if it advertises price matching
Many places that do price matching don’t do sales, but I think there is some other criteria to that
if they wont price match the amazon listing they might price match the company's listing
Real
Where do you find these?
I would use them but only outside 
Or if I’m playing some casual console game and want to get up to get a drink or something
Internet
think i should see if the manager is nice and stacks a 25 dollar coupon for signing up for a account and a price match on top of it?
now what’s chat doing
@mortal grail
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
Gotta rate my build
Well ik that but they were asking about sfx and lian li only have the SP as sfx afaik
Would getting a 1000w PSU be stupid for a 9070 XT?
(It's cheaper in SFX to get an A-tier thousand watt Thermaltake one than any 750 or 850 here for some reason)
it's the good Thermaltake SFX kilowatt one at least
Uhhhh…
That gpu can be fixed
Also 500$ for a 9800x3d? Really?
Microsoft is closing a loophole in the Windows 11 setup process that let you skip signing in with a Microsoft account. The bypassnro command is going away 😬 https://t.co/JfGew98w6K
cmon now microsoft...
Wait so no more local accounts? 😭
🗿
Crap
I wanna see intel come out with a quadro competitor
