[wraith fern]

oh awesome

[rancid juniper]

ok

[grand wasp]

i see asus rog monitor oled 240hz

[wraith fern]

i see that too

👀

[rancid juniper]

@grand wasp new monitor???

OLED care 2.0

lol

[worn wave]

Cheapest pcpp shows is $450 for this one
https://a.co/d/0LqlaUd

[rancid juniper]

that one person hates it

[worn wave]

No written review though...

It is sold by the Acer store so should be legit

[dusk knot]

Hhhmmm

[wraith fern]

buying used is so funny

i saw a macbook from 2017 with the motherboard exposed going for $400

[grand wasp]

if an item has like less than 3 reviews, i'd look on reddit/youtube for more reviews

[wraith fern]

i probably want asus or samsung

that one asus one looks pretty good

[worn wave]

Tomshardware has a review, idk if it's the exact model though

https://www.tomshardware.com/monitors/gaming-monitors/acer-predator-x27u-oled-gaming-monitor-review

[grand wasp]

I'd check rtings too

that's a good site

[sinful blade]

He’s like 3 hours away @acoustic palm @worn night @icy ore

I beg hes in my area at some point

[acoustic palm]

meet half way?

[rancid juniper]

👀

[acoustic palm]

3 hours of driving is like 6 gallons of gas, only like 20$? maybe? for a 5070 over 9060xt

[sinful blade]

Wife won’t let me do that

[acoustic palm]

oh

wth why

[dusk knot]

OLED is spreading. Good

[acoustic palm]

so jp

i made my oled look 10x better

so

hynix uh

man

[peak heart]

@acoustic palm can you give a review about cooling in 9070xt prime oc?

[acoustic palm]

itll run cool

all 9070xt run cool

[peak heart]

Assetto corsa high with mods 1080p?

Or black myth ?

[acoustic palm]

why are you running 1080p

[peak heart]

😭❓

[craggy shoal]

GPU upgrade before monitor upgrade imo. What's your current monitor's resolution?

[acoustic palm]

9070xt would be wasted on 1080p

[peak heart]

1080p for comp and story games on 4k tv?

[acoustic palm]

also you asked about temps then said games im confused

[craggy shoal]

Or just get a 1440p monitor and then you won't have to switch

A 1080p monitor can give your system bottlenecks

My 6800 XT can do 1440p easily in competitive games

[acoustic palm]

and also doesnt look great

[peak heart]

I was wondering temps in those games

[craggy shoal]

(But it does look great)

[acoustic palm]

game like

barely effects the temps

dont worry about temps within games, worry about stress test temps

[worthy meteor]

Temps are going to be much more dependent on case and ambient temperature

[peak heart]

Yeah thats coming as well

[craggy shoal]

1440p monitor and forget everything else. Don't even bother with switching to the 4K TV

[peak heart]

So know im just left with a good case

[acoustic palm]

wait whats your whole budget for the pc

[peak heart]

Its sometimes i like to play on tv thats all

[sinful blade]

Too much driving

Our cars suck

[acoustic palm]

3 hours???? really????

[heady plinth]

Different games can shift hotspot temps around a bit. Mostly it will be down to power limit being reached or not though.

[sinful blade]

She uses a handicap van, and I have a 21 year old car with brake problems

[peak heart]

Im not including ram as im getting a 16gb stick from marketplace for now and rest all is almost $2200 cad without case
So i can pay extra 100 for case

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-sad-gif-27615865

[acoustic palm]

so everything except ram for 2300?

[proud jackal]

Time to save money and be stingey for 2026

[peak heart]

Yea

[acoustic palm]

do you have a pcpp list for this? that seems really expensive

[peak heart]

Expensive cuz I changed my mind from 9600x to 9800x3d

[acoustic palm]

still...

how much is this 9800x3d youre looking at...

[peak heart]

I have a newegg cart and thas in my laptop now im on phone

[peak heart]

Around 600 cad

[acoustic palm]

no

thats a miserable price

[heady plinth]

That's just what it costs.

[peak heart]

Nah its same everywhere

[peak heart]

True

[acoustic palm]

that means nothing

it is not worth that much

[heady plinth]

That I would agree with.

[peak heart]

😭

[acoustic palm]

7800x3d is like

130 cad less

[acoustic palm]

perfect

[acoustic palm]

its 479

but that bundle is way better

[peak heart]

7600x3d is am4 right!!!?

[acoustic palm]

no

[heady plinth]

Am4 went up to 5000 series.

[acoustic palm]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/sBFqYd sub 1700$ for all of it...

[heady plinth]

6000 was laptop only, am5 starts at 7000.

[acoustic palm]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ty8CBq you can even get ram and be well below the 2300 budget, but go find something used

[peak heart]

Can i go 3-4 years with 7600x3d?

[acoustic palm]

yes

[peak heart]

Performance wise? Compared to 7800x3d?

[acoustic palm]

both are good

[heady plinth]

About midway between a regular cpu and a 7800x3d.

[sinful blade]

7600x3d is just a nerfed 7800x3d

Isn’t it

Like a few cores disabled or something

[heady plinth]

Even the regular cpus can do around 150 fps in games like acc.

[acoustic palm]

at any high settings theyll be close

[heady plinth]

It's 6 cores and clocked lower yeah.

[acoustic palm]

this is 7500x3d which is a lower clock

[peak heart]

And what about the case?

[heady plinth]

It's entirely dependent on what you're playing, resolutiong, settings, etc... if it makes any difference at all.

[acoustic palm]

its a case and it has fans

[heady plinth]

If it's going on your desk and you have to look at it get a case you like.

[acoustic palm]

older review

[peak heart]

I mean can you guys suggest me a case with good cooling and looks good e

[acoustic palm]

what looks do you want

[peak heart]

Close enough

[acoustic palm]

fishtank?

[peak heart]

Decent case with rgb

[peak heart]

Bro what

[acoustic palm]

what type of case

2 glass sides? 1 glass side with 1 fan side?

[peak heart]

2 better

[acoustic palm]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z49vLc there

[heady plinth]

I like the v100r (looks like it's sold out up there currently) and antec c5.

[peak heart]

Any other?

[peak heart]

Let me check

[acoustic palm]

i mean... thats like a very generic fishtank case

if you dont like that idk about other ones

[peak heart]

V100r looks good

C5 is also good

Wow

[acoustic palm]

what about this

[sinful blade]

@acoustic palm it’s the msi triple fan model

[acoustic palm]

uhhh

i mean not the best model but not bad

[sinful blade]

Isn’t my challenger like
The worst 9060xt model

[acoustic palm]

yes

[sinful blade]

Yeah so I’ll take the upgrade

Now to convince him to come to me

[lone mango]

just mess around with sens, use smth base like 800 dpi

[trail nest]

k

[grand wasp]

Rest in PeacYr

that's an awful name pun

lol

[proud jackal]

800 or 1600

[trail nest]

i seem to like 1600 more

[grand wasp]

o.o

u need to calibrate both right?

pc's mouse DPI
game's sensitivity

reminder thjat poll is up~ D:

I'm going to delete the fun holiday roles soon. What should I replace them w/?

[random osprey]

if the settings work for you, then yes theyre good

[trail nest]

i'm playing on 1600 dpi and i'm trying to find the best settings for 1600 dpi

[random osprey]

for me, theyre bad since i play at a different dpi and like slower sens, for you thatll be good, for theo it might be great, etc

just keep tweaking till you find a sens that you like

[trail nest]

i tried playing at 800 dpi but the screen just moves a bit too slow for me

[icy ore]

My g502 was pooping the bed so I got the 305 lmao

Downgrade technically but at least it isn’t jumping all around the screen and disconnecting randomly

[lone mango]

Fr

I don’t remember if I was at 550 or 600 dpi

I think 600

[pseudo raven]

superlight more like superbad

[misty sparrow]

I didnt think you would watch Hasan

[proud jackal]

Shh

[proud jackal]

I was a 800 main for the longest time but I had to stop because my old man wrists / arm couldn't take it anymore so I went 1600

I was 800 for over twenty years

[random osprey]

you wouldnt like my settings for fps games

low dpi and low in-game sens

[proud jackal]

I used to do that

Again, old man arms ;_;

Don’t need to worry about DPI if you’re on a controller

[random osprey]

depending on the controller like the xbox elite controller you can make the stickers slower or faster

What

No

What

5060 ti is abt 30%

5070 is 65%

yup big gains

There’s still 9070xts with fancy shrouds for 650?

Where

Tell me now

[acoustic palm]

Wait hold up

The reaper is 600

IMO looks a lot better

[opaque sedge]

Ehh

[acoustic palm]

ASUS prime on pcpp

[opaque sedge]

Isnt prime like their lowest tier

[acoustic palm]

Uhhhh

Maybe?

But challenger is the worst 9070xt model in general…

[opaque sedge]

And the cheapest rn

Meets the amd bare minimum specs i believe

[acoustic palm]

Also prime is 3x8 and default OC, I think it can be raised to oc high

BUT

Idk

That’s what I’d get, needs amazon prime though

[acoustic palm]

Guys

I found an 80$ keyboard that has a built in stream deck

And it’s hotswappable

[opaque sedge]

Damn

Link it

[acoustic palm]

Ok I need someone whose good with keyboards

[acoustic palm]

https://www.vsdinside.com/products/vsdinside-k1-pro

Only bad thing is no delete key

Oh shoot can I attack this to my monitor for kvm

[heavy dew]

Alright @north crescent how do I install windows 7 on a hard drive that requires ACHI to be enabled in the BIOS even though the BIOS itself doesn’t have options for the SATA controller

[acoustic palm]

Dude I need someone smart to help me I needa figure out a buncha stuff

[heavy dew]

Scratch my back I scratch yours?? Type shit?

[velvet summit]

Ai keyboard 💀

[acoustic palm]

dude

idc about the name

i just needa know a few things

[velvet summit]

Marketing is cooked

Even the keyboards are ai

[acoustic palm]

like, can i connect it to my monitor

[velvet summit]

If it has a usb hub or KVM yeah

[acoustic palm]

uhhh

Dell Alienware AW2725DF

it has a usb hub no kvm

[velvet summit]

Yeah
You do need to connect the usb from the monitor to your PC though

[acoustic palm]

the weird ioi thingy?

[velvet summit]

Probably

[acoustic palm]

thats alr done

hold up lemme test this

[velvet summit]

It should theoretically work

There isn't really any reason why it wouldn't

[acoustic palm]

test test

omg no way

ok perfect

yknow those really cool cables that look like a spring

ok i also need a new display cable

my third monitor keeps cutting out 😭

[velvet summit]

Its called a coiled cable

[acoustic palm]

Like this

[velvet summit]

why does that look like a fuse

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/BTNCL-Keyboard-Manager-Decorative-Mechanical/dp/B0BZCND611?th=1 could get this and then a nice keyboard cable

[velvet summit]

you could also buy cables that just stay coiled

[acoustic palm]

uhhh

i couldnt find any that look good

also i like the metal ends

[velvet summit]

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Double-Sleeved-Mechanical-Detachable-Aviator/dp/B09F5YBH6Z/

[acoustic palm]

is there one in black

[velvet summit]

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Double-Sleeved-Mechanical-Detachable-Aviator/dp/B09XQ4NJN3

[acoustic palm]

what abt one for c to c

[velvet summit]

there's not really any point since the aviator connector only has like 4 pins

or 5

[acoustic palm]

oh ok

[velvet summit]

having the nice fancy metal connector automatically makes these cables into usb 2.0 cables

[acoustic palm]

is that good

[velvet summit]

perfectly fine for keyboards

[acoustic palm]

alr nice

[acoustic palm]

hey my 3060ti has that

[rancid juniper]

w/screen?

[acoustic palm]

yeah

[rancid juniper]

cool

[acoustic palm]

also has

6 display outputs

😭

[rancid juniper]

LOL???

Built for multitasking

[acoustic palm]

real

[velvet summit]

if you really need c to c you could get a c to female a adapter, but if you find a premade one, it's probably going to cost more and have absolutely no benefits

i also wont recommend mixing and matching these aviator connectors unless from the same brand because the aviator connector isnt a standard connector so different companies or diyers may solder the wires differently (which could damage the keyboard if you plug in incompatible cables)

[acoustic palm]

alr

man i regret getting a white pc so bad

[velvet summit]

lmao

[acoustic palm]

EVERYTHING in my setup except my pc and mouse is black

[velvet summit]

white at least has the benefit of not showing dust as quick
black pcs like you start to see the dust settling on the stuff immediately 💀

[acoustic palm]

true

[velvet summit]

but that's the only upside lmao

[acoustic palm]

wait i also get another discount

are there any of those cables on newegg btw

[ancient swift]

I wish laptop motherboards were standard e.e

[velvet summit]

just search coiled keyboard cable and there might be some sellers

majority of them would have the aviator connector on them

[rancid juniper]

have you seen this keyboard

[dusk knot]

no

[acoustic palm]

https://www.vsdinside.com/products/vsdinside-k1-pro

im js wondering if the switches are good

[velvet summit]

no idea because it doesnt mention a brand so it's probably some generic switch

[acoustic palm]

it does

haimu red

[velvet summit]

considering that it's hotswap, you could just buy better switches if you need to

[tranquil pebble]

it wasn't always this way

[opaque sedge]

Honestly a cool concept tho ngl

[tranquil pebble]

back in 2009 you could get a PC for less than $2000 that would run everything maxed more or less.

[acoustic palm]

uhh

thats still true today

ish

[velvet summit]

looks like they're fine then

[acoustic palm]

but are they good?

[velvet summit]

i dont see any mention of haimu on the page you sent though

it only says "red switches"

[acoustic palm]

scroll through the images

its second to last

[velvet summit]

oh
i wonder why they didnt write it down at all

[acoustic palm]

uhhh

you can also scroll down on the page a tiny bit

[velvet summit]

but yeah it seems like people are pretty positive on the quality of haimu switches, i have never used them but they are at the very least not dogshit lmao

[acoustic palm]

if theyre bad ill replace em then

[velvet summit]

still strange though, because most times companies would like write the name of the switch in every mention if it's a nicer switch
like if you see a keyboard with like say kalih switches, they'll write that in like every mention lol

[acoustic palm]

although my current ones are uh....

not the best

[velvet summit]

honestly even cheap switches are pretty good nowadays

[acoustic palm]

i have

POM gray

rn

[dense locust]

Personally I’d just buy the switch 2

[acoustic palm]

id rather have nothing than a switch 2

[dense locust]

Ok

Give me Your pc

[acoustic palm]

nah im good

i have anti miku firewall

[lone mango]

Why are laptop displays so shit

in 2026

60 hz 40% coverage

[velvet summit]

that's like

worse than a chromebook

[lone mango]

meanwhile you can get vibrant and accurate monitors for $100

[acoustic palm]

no no no

[lone mango]

and higher refresh rates

[acoustic palm]

thats better than a chrombook

[dense locust]

[velvet summit]

oh a sit stand desk?

ah

[peak heart]

[velvet summit]

mf saying electric desk like it will shock you ong

also i dont think it's possible to get a new desk at all for under 100 cad? you could probably just get a sheet of plywood for 100 dollars nowadays ong

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

you might be able to do 200 cad if you diy

but like, just the desk top isnt cheap

[opaque sedge]

I doubt you’d even be able to find a decent regular desk for 100 cad

ikea has a manual sit stand desk that you crank it till it goes up

[dense locust]

It’s miku from a bad song animated by a popular animator

https://youtu.be/19y8YTbvri8

Or mesmerizer if you pretend the song is good

[velvet summit]

it's an average quality song with a disproportionally good mv

[dense locust]

Zako > mesermizer

Zako is prob the best song cast has animated for

https://youtu.be/kqj7b59D85Y

[velvet summit]

honestly mesmerizer isnt a bad song but it's definitely not the best out of the sea of vocaloid bangers

why does discord think im typing in spanish

i dont even have spanish installed on my computer

i'm not american

[dense locust]

[topaz carbon]

The spanish took control of your computer

[dense locust]

It’s a bad song

The artist has abysmal views

Next song after mesmerizer had a huge drop off and then after that it became almost nothing

[velvet summit]

basically a one hit wonder except their one hit wasnt actually that much of a banger

[dense locust]

Nah it’s cast that’s the wonder

Man can animate anything and make it popular

Everything ha has animated has hit over 20 million

Heck even stuff he hasn’t animated but uses his style has also gotten views

https://youtu.be/bI3542HJRzY

This song kinda sucks

Their next song is better but it’s still eh

This song is better than any of these
Just don’t read the lyrics

Anyways I have strong song opinions

TLDW tho
✅ great performance
✅ temps are good (better when tweaked)
✅ 2x8pin
✅ Latest AMD tech stuff idk
✅ Great MSRP price

❌ Definitely varies but my card is not well binned (can't push vram clocks as it will crash the entire pc)
❌ Fans do get loud probably over 80%
❌ FOMO
❌ There is some coil whine, but again it varies from card to card

@opaque sedge

580 at microcenter rn… think i should reserve it instead of holding out on the hope of the red devil coming back down to 650…

reserve it
