That is what I am looking for and thank you for you reply. What specs do I need to search for when adding that second archive hard drive to my machine?

stoic island
#

The slot in your laptop is m.2, so you'll be looking for a m.2 drive, but other specs don't matter that much, if you're just putting data on the drive without doing work on the drive, most of the specs don't matter. Outside of some drives that just perform extraordinarily bad, any m.2 drive will do.

earnest olive
#

do you do any non gaming workloads?

#

if it’s for gaming return it and get a 5800x3d

limber oyster
#

I stream while gaming and watching shows.

earnest olive
#

yeah return it for an x3d

#

will be much better for similar price

limber oyster
#

Better in what way?

earnest olive
#

just look at benchmarks lol

#

there’s a reason why amd conveniently left out 5800x3d and only compared ryzen 7000 to ryzen 5000 non-x3d

#

5800x3d is right up there with the 7950x and 13900K

#

ryzen 7000 has been dead on arrival partially because of the 5800x3d just being too good

limber oyster
#

3d is $17 more and I don't get free game....

#

Hmmmm

earnest olive
#

but it’s a MUCH better cpu as long as you are using it for gaming

#

streaming and watching shows doesn’t warrant the extra cores

#

streaming will run on your graphics card anyways, and watching shows while gaming isn’t going to struggle on 8 cores

limber oyster
#

Fair

#

Honestly, I wanted to do 3090, but....no discount at all for them

earnest olive
#

5800x3d is the endgame for am4, you won’t need an upgrade until ddr5 is cheap

#

they’re bundling free game with the 5900x because nobody wants them

#

5800x3d is selling out fast everywhere

limber oyster
#

Ahh

earnest olive
#

interesting newegg bundles a game but out of stock

#

only amazon still has stock left

limber oyster
#

Wow

#

What actually makes the 5800 so much better?

earnest olive
#

the X3D part

#

it has triple cache compared to the 5800X

#

games like cache

#

even though it’s clocked lower than the 5800X and 5900X it wrecks both of them in games

fossil cedar
#

Nope

earnest olive
#

well

#

most 5800x3d can do -30 all core co it seems

#

so that helps

brittle spindle
#

I have a question. I have a used rx 570, if I build a pc and install the rx 570 would people buy it? Sorry my English is bad

quasi knot
#

thoughts on mixing 2x16gb 3200 16-18-18-38 ram with a 2x8gb 3200 16-18-18-38 kit?

cyan ravine
#

Also which sticks are they specifically

quasi knot
cyan ravine
#

What tasks are you doing

quasi knot
#

mostly modded games

cyan ravine
#

Which modded games

#

Yes this might be important

quasi knot
#

biggest 2 are Ark and Minecraft

cyan ravine
#

Ah then 32 is probably enough tbh

quasi knot
#

since MC alone is using over 12gb of ram, and I can't give it any more then that

cyan ravine
#

You kinda want to have identical sticks as much as possible

#

It's more likely to run smoothly without issues

#

So what you can do, turn the pc off, flip off the power and the back, pop out one of the trident sticks and take a pic of the sticker on it and post here

#

That will give you the code for the specific kit that you can match it to

quasi knot
#

guessing it would depend on the company, but wouldn't I be able to return them if they aren't working smoothly

cyan ravine
#

You in all likeliness could but this saves the headache

#

And matching sticks runs more stable than mixed

#

I say that with an asterisk* but ye

quasi knot
#

I just wouldn't be bothered enough to resell the sticks in all likelyhood

cyan ravine
#

Ya so you have 2x8 tridentz?

quasi knot
#

currently yeah, I can post a link to the specific ones

cyan ravine
#

If you know the specific ones then absolutely

quasi knot
#

not the biggest fan of amazon for electronics tbh, they just had the best deal when purchasing it

cyan ravine
#

Huh, 68's not bad

#

Considering it's gskill

#

They're on newegg too for a dollar less but I'd do the amazon one again to best match your sticks as possible

#

This code

#

F4-3200C16D-16GTZR

#

That's your product code to find them

#

Very basic kit but you'll increase your likelihood of a stable matching kit going through the same buyer again

#

Otherwise what I'd do, is sell the 2x8's you have, then spend on a simple 32gb kit

quasi knot
#

atleast last time I checked the 32gb model was around $20-30 more for double the amount

cyan ravine
#

Nah not 32gb gskills

#

One sec

#
#

77 and 79$

#

So 10$ more than the 2x8 gskills but you'll probably be better off as you'd have sold the other gskills

quasi knot
#

Atleast on the r/buildapc discord they were talking about how same models might have different chips and same model =/= compactible and all that stuff

cyan ravine
#

Yes

#

They are right

#

By shopping in the same exact place you increase the likelihood of the same chips and sticks so you will likely have a matching set

#

But it's not assured

desert gulch
cyan ravine
#

Esp for 3200

#

3200 is such a common xmp that you can find just about anything under it

quasi knot
cyan ravine
#

Ok fair, I don't really expect it to be teething much unless you're using some really old cpu

quasi knot
#

cpu and gpu should be fine for a while

cyan ravine
#

Just as long as it's the same place and same article you bought it from, there's a very reasonable chance it's matching

#

Oh yeah but like, lets say 7700K or ryzen 1700x for example

#

Those would make me say "oh maybe not" lol

desert nebula
#

I have a i5 6400 and 750ti. What do I need to upgrade first?

quasi knot
#

mostly just a ram bottleneck, although so far minecraft has been the only game to cripple my pc lol

cyan ravine
desert nebula
#

150

desert gulch
#

what do you want to do with the pc?

desert nebula
#

I just want to know what's better upgrading the gpu or cpu first than upgrading the other part at a later date.

drowsy zodiac
#

save your money

#

@cyan ravine why am i so nervous to build my pc tomorrow 🤣feel like ima need therapy

vital pelican
#

Trying my hardest

#

But I’m not trying hard enough

#

I got the ram in and then gave up on self study

cyan ravine
#

@vital pelican take that ram stick closest to the cpu out and stick it in the slot farthest from the cpu slot

vital pelican
#

Alright

cyan ravine
#

That'll make sure you're running the ram in dual channel

vital pelican
#

It was a lot

#

To get over my fear of pushing it in

cyan ravine
#

It should go * click * at the top and bottom

vital pelican
#

Yeah good to go

#

No for my ssd…

cyan ravine
#

There ya go

vital pelican
#

Now*

cyan ravine
#

Nice

vital pelican
#

Any ideas on where I should put it?

vital pelican
frigid night
#

Fasten it down at the end with the m.2 screw

#

It'll slot in at a slight downward angle with the far end of the nvme sticking out above the board. It looks funny.

vital pelican
#

Thanks

desert nebula
#

Anybody know ehere I can trade pc parts or cases?

vital pelican
#

Oh no

I have to buy the screws separately

obsidian wigeon

you don't

#

it comes in the box of the mobo

potent portal

Must have that nice clock gen

#

Fun stuff

obsidian wigeon

#

budget ocing

#

wait that means we can push even 13400 once it comes out on that board

analog pulsar

🤔

rich helm
merry spindle
#

For gaming how much of a difference is there between a pcie gen 3 nvme SSD and a gen 4?

cyan ravine
#

A few seconds at most even in directstorage uses

merry spindle
#

What kind of use case would there be a difference? I'm guessing stuff like 3D modeling?

cyan ravine
#

Just load times

#

Boot to windows as well it's basically seconds at most

sturdy ridge
#

Would I go to this channel if I need help when my game is running bad for a reason I can't seem to fix?

cyan ravine
#

Slightly better

#

Just note the 5600 you will bios flash before you try and run the system, it has a button to do that and takes 5 minutes

potent portal
drowsy zodiac
#

im getting the same board

#

And cpu

potent portal
#

If it's a new motherboard probably yes

drowsy zodiac
#

how would i know??

#

like if it is new or not

potent portal
#

Are you buying it in new or used/refurbished condition?

drowsy zodiac
#

new

#

it comes in tomorrow

potent portal
#

Then 50/50 you'll need to flash, I'd recommend doing it

drowsy zodiac
#

so just do the usb thing first ?

#

before even starting building

potent portal
#

The 5600 is a pretty new cpu and not all boards were produced after and updated to the proper version

#

Yes it's a simple process to flash it with the usb

drowsy zodiac
#

ok is there a yt vid?

potent portal
#

Tons

drowsy zodiac
#

and i would just update to the newest bios update?

potent portal
#

Yep

drowsy zodiac
#

ok cool and i dont need a cpu or anything installed correct??

potent portal
#

It's that MSI board in Felix's link right? Nope just power

drowsy zodiac
#

yes same mobo

#

okay cool yeah i can do that

#

i plan to build it all tomorrow idk why but im like nervous too🤣

potent portal
drowsy zodiac
#

ok cool cool

potent portal
drowsy zodiac
#

wanna ping me rq

#

@drowsy zodiac

#

ok cool i didn’t know i could do it on my own🤣

potent portal
#

@drowsy zodiac So you can "bookmark" this part? lol

drowsy zodiac
#

yeah

potent portal
#

Smart

drowsy zodiac
#

i think im worried about getting the cpu cooler on

#

its legit just a air cooler too

#

not even a aio

potent portal
#

Which cooler? The stock one?

drowsy zodiac
#

no

#

gamdias boreas

#

e1

potent portal
#

Looks like it's an easy mount kit, you just take off the stock "clip" mounts and screw on their mount

drowsy zodiac
#

ohhh ok

#

im excited but nervous af🤣🤣

potent portal
#

Do one mount at a time so the backplate doesn't fall off lol

#

One of those "learn from my mistakes" tips

drowsy zodiac
#

alright

#

and is booting windows onto it easy ?

potent portal
#

Yeah you can use the official tool to create a usb and just follow the steps, pretty simple

drowsy zodiac
#

ok cool if i do get stuck i’ll come here for help

desert nebula
#

I have a ryzen 5 3200g. How much do I sell it for or is it good to pair with a 1660ti?

cyan ravine
potent portal
#

Should be fine to pair with that unless your game of choice is super cpu heavy

cyan ravine
#

So flashing with the button should be very safe

desert nebula
potent portal
#

Not too extremely heavy, you should still be GPU bound

hot monolith
#

I'm worried that I applied too little thermal paste (I already built my pc), what game should I run to test the CPU temps?

flint sapphire
#

Cinebench is a good test, it’s free

hot monolith
#

Alright thanks

fossil cedar
#

Prime95 small fft mode is a good test cinebench more of a benchmark

Anyone know of any black or white power supplies that are on black Friday sale. I would like to get a 80+ gold 850watt. Preferably from a company that makes quality power supplies.

cyan ravine

Also gold doesn't mean much, that's just the efficiency. There are gold psus that catch fire

No bot flagging on this one

mossy venture

Lol

upper ore
#

Alright I saved it to a list and look at it after work. Thanks

viscid perch
#

Any recommendations for a motherboard and processor combo? Would prefer a 10th gen Intel

mossy venture
#

Also 10th gen is old and outdated, odds are it will be the same price as current gen stuff while having worse performance

#

Unless going used

viscid perch
#

US, NZXT H7 Flow, Warzone, Halo, gaming

mossy venture
#

Budget

viscid perch
#

Roughly about $600

mossy venture
#

Easy enough

#

100% avoid 10th gen

#

@viscid perch

viscid perch

Thank you

Are there any steps I need to consider when installing a motherboard that already has an IO shield preinstalled?

obsidian wigeon

what is the best 2 tb ssd

cyan ravine
#

Best is subjective

#

What do you need it for

modest bone
#

gaming

cyan ravine
#

MP33 2TB one sec I'll grab the best price

modest bone
#

ok

cyan ravine
#

Same price as Amazon, $122

modest bone
#

ok

mossy venture
#

P41 plus might be the same price

cyan ravine
#

670p is another good one

modest bone
cyan ravine
#

They don't need to be flashy for games just sufficiently fast

cyan ravine
#

No problems

potent portal
cyan ravine
#

Yeah A60 is another good one

#

Can vouch for 3 of the 4 so far lol

#

NV2 would be the premium option

modest bone
#

yeah i think that i will get fal'cies. You know that parents look more at the discount than the price lol

cyan ravine
#

Smart thinking

mossy venture
#

If not, get the asus pro art b660

#

If its still on sale anyways

modest bone
#

i do have the motherboard

#

just not the cpu

potent portal
dim forge
#

is p3 a good nvme sdd

mossy venture
#

Normally overpriced

#

But ok

dim forge
#

it's same priced as the A60

#

on amazon rn

#

500gb tho

#

do you know a budget 1/2 tb ssd to store games?

obsidian wigeon
#

i would check mp33

mossy venture
#

Mp33 512gb is $30 something

obsidian wigeon
#

^

dim forge
#

is it better than the a60?

#

idk much about storage

mossy venture
#

Theyre the same

#

Well, similar anyways

#

Won't see a difference in two machines with the same specs aside from the ssd if those are used

#

Hello! Can anyone help me with this build, this is gonna be my first time and I literally know nothing about PC stuff but have spent the last week doing research and trying to learn the best I can

#

If anyone has any input on anything I'd appreciate it! Or am I missing anything? I have no idea what that graphics card is for example, I just chose something random that said was compatible

languid nimbus
#

H510 bad

#

Also you can find really cheap windows keys on eBay

little osprey
#

Ah dang I can't send a picture just yet, but I'm basing it off of the recommended specs for Photoshop, Priemer Pro, and an Elgato I just got,
(It's not really gonna be for gaming, just for video editing and streaming my capture card to, bc I wanna play console games like PS5, switch, and Xbox Series S)

languid nimbus

Wait on someone a little more experienced in part picking like this and they’ll get you a good build set up, best banger for the buck lirikH

I'll look up what bios is

What’s the point of the 13600k if you’re running a 6600XT

Oh ok

Just scrolled up and saw that 🤦‍♂️

#

Sorry

fossil cedar

@elfin flame do they already have psu?

Thank uu

I'm gonna try to get to level 3 so I can send a picture

It wasn't for gaming much it was mainly for editing

Oh ok that makes more sense

Also that psu is very mediocre

Its also cheap lol

#

There’s a problem

#

I think there is atleast

warm cave
#

Does anyone see a problem with this build? I have everything for it except new CPU, motherboard, aio, M.2 and case.

#

It's an upgrade

#

I think I may pull the trigger today with most parts through amazon. Just because of the few deals I'm seeing on the parts I want

#

And I'm switching the 4000d case for a 5000d

vital pelican
#

Hey guys

#

I’m fixing to put my motherboard in

#

And I’m wondering if I should just put it in raw or if I should cover the back of it with something

#

Does it need protection?

#

Or is it ok for it to touch the back of my case?

#

Appreciate it

#

Alright so this is good for

#

Alright got it

#

Though the antenna on my board are making this a lot harder then it should be

#

I can’t get them through the io shield

#

Wait

#

Oh

#

I did realize something

#

Not only do I not have any screws for this but

#

A lot of stand offs are like this

potent portal
#

Screws should come with the case

#

Sometimes they're hidden in a drive bay

vital pelican
#

The only screws I see that aren’t in use

#

Are these

#

Wait actually I do see a cardboard box

#

Very easy to access

potent portal
#

Yep hidden in a drive bay, not always obvious

vital pelican
#

Sorry for this seemingly stupid question but any ideas on how to remove this?

potent portal

Pinch the two tabs together and pull

yeah i got a 5600 with a 6600

vital pelican
#

Ooh similar

drowsy zodiac
#

eh kinda

vital pelican
#

Though I heard I’ll have a pretty big bottleneck with my@build

#

I guess you have the perfect performance

drowsy zodiac

hopefully lol

#

ima be running 1080p

Why 6900xt 💀

vital pelican

Ohh ok

#

You'll be fine

vital pelican
#

I’m also planning on upgrading my cpu

drowsy zodiac
#

did you have to update bios?

vital pelican
#

I wanted a 5700 but was discouraged

paper summit
#

Get a 5800x3d or sum

vital pelican

Figure

#

If I should readjust my standoffs or not

#

paper summit
#

Your fine

vital pelican
#

Yeah

#

The motherboard is about the only part I but brain into picking

drowsy zodiac
#

ah i downloaded the newest bios update because apparently ima have to update the board

vital pelican
#

Put*

#

Not matching off

#

Up

drowsy zodiac
#

this may sound very stupid but since my case is a atx and my mobo is a matx will i have to adjust my standoffs?

#

🤣

#

okok

#

i got the msi b550m vc wifi or some like that

#

i forget ngl

#

it comes tmrw

vital pelican
#

I’m scared of letting my screws correct the mobo

drowsy zodiac
#

yeah they came pre installed

vital pelican
#

Honestly I watched to many pc videos and I’m now allergic of my motherboard

drowsy zodiac
#

im so nervous to build it ngl

vital pelican

I’ll be happy if the worse thing to happen is me needed to replace the moyhetboard

I just dropped a screw

#

And I have no idea where it went

drowsy zodiac
#

ok cool i already did the usb part

#

thanks for that

#

i’ll flash it right out the box

#

do my mobo screws come w the mobo or the case

#

to screw it down

#

ok cool

#

my case just has a little bag with screws lol

vital pelican
#

Sorry to bother you but can you check for@me?

#

I’m having doubts

potent portal
#

What version of bios is preinstalled? It'll say on the box near the barcodes

vital pelican
#

Asrock b550

#

Box is gone

No more box

does anyone know why it had to be a .rom file

#

the video i watched the guy said it has to be that lol

#

No clue but I’m also going to be asking soon lol

On the flip side

All the standoffs but the one that’s just not there are in

where’s your psu?🤣

Oh forgot about that guy

ohhh ok

I had a breakdown thinking I’d have to return it before thinking of opening the case

#

On the other side

drowsy zodiac

see ya

vital pelican

See ya

#

Uh

#

Anyone know if I should plug my case SATA into the mobo or the PSU? Manual doesn’t specify

#

Another thing, is it required I use all slots on my PSU?

#

I only have one cpu after all

#

Ironic though since I need 2 for my gpu lol

#

Alright

I’m really doubting my gpu is going to fit

My@doubt was miscounted

No fit?

vital pelican

I think I should be good

vital pelican
#

Regardless I’m having a ton of trouble with all the cables

#

Wondering what’s what since they aren’t labeled

cyan ravine
#

Carefully study your board for each different type of connector, the plugs should be labelled on the motherboard

#

Some might be instead meant for the psu

Guys, I need some quick help because I have to decide what laptop I have to buy for work. Mainly I edit 1080p 25FPS videos with color grading on Premiere Pro and design different graphics in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Sometimes I use After Effects for 2D motion graphics. I have to decide between these two laptops.

Acer Aspire 5
i5 12gen 1235U
2 x 8GB RAM
Iris Xe Graphics

Better CPU but integrated GPU

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3
i5 11gen 11320H
1 x 16GB RAM
GeForce GTX 1650

Worse CPU but GTX 1650

Which will be better? Thanks!

stoic island

And using as is, 2x8 is much nicer than 1x16

#

So i was wondering if you guys knew how long after the release of a new case would newegg get access to it?

cyan ravine
#

Depends on supplier

upper ore
#

Phanteks

cyan ravine
#

I would say newegg tends to be first to market more often than not

#

But also country matters

upper ore
#

USA

cyan ravine
#

Soon

#

That's just been announced

#

Good case choice btw

#

G360A is brilliant and G500A will be for sure

upper ore
#

Ik i heard about it and i will get it for my new build i just wish it came in the black and white color scheme that the previous model ran for awhile

#

Okay, I'm trying to build a PC for like beginning content creation, so I wrote down the recommended specs of the software I plan on using, I don't really plan on using it for gaming because I wanna stream console games with my capture card, so I feel like I don't need anything too crazy, but I wanna keep the budget around 1k

cyan ravine
#

You could build a gaming pc for 1K that would respectfully edit and capture games too

#

Just budget out the capture card

little osprey
#

Here's what I wrote, I chose an Intel i5 11400 F as the CPU because it meets all those criteria

#

Of at least something Intel 7th gen, a multicore Intel, and it has to be at least i5, and has 8threads

#

Here's what Danny helped me come up with

limpid kestrel
#

Thanks for help!

little osprey
#

I guess the only thing if anyone else has any input is I'd want the motherboard to have wifi/Bluetooth since I'm not near a router

#

And also idk anything about picking a Gpu lol

upper ore
#

Wifi is nice yeah but you will want to be connected. Most of the time itll be faster than wifi

cyan ravine
little osprey
#

That's what Danny went off of, but I had a random GPU thrown in there that said was compatible

upper ore
little osprey
#

And missing coolers i think

cyan ravine
#

The stock cooler works fine for low end ryzen

little osprey
cyan ravine
#

Comes in the box

upper ore
little osprey
#

Oh wait though

cyan ravine
#

Yup, it's a wraith

#

5600 is as good as an 11400f

#

So don't freak out it's just better value for money

little osprey
#

Idk if Ryzen 5 will work

cyan ravine
#

It will

little osprey
#

For the capture card?

cyan ravine
#

Yup

mossy venture
little osprey
#

Oh wha

cyan ravine
#

I have elgato cards, they work fine with ryzen lol

little osprey
#

But it says it needs at least at least Intel i5 or A Ryzen 7 (or better)

cyan ravine
#

Ignore that

#

I5 i7 i9 r3 r5 r7 r9 all relative to each generation

mossy venture
#

Intel i5 and ryzen 7 are very vague

little osprey
#

Here

mossy venture
#

There's a ryzen 3 that beats a ryzen 7

little osprey
#

In the middle ish

mossy venture
#

And there's an i3 that beats an i9

cyan ravine
#

There's plenty of examples where those reqs make no sense

upper ore
# cyan ravine It will

Intel is normally way to expensive and most of the time you can find a ryzen cpu that is just as good if not better for the same price or less. Am i wrong?

mossy venture
#

Yes

cyan ravine
#

Yes and no

#

It depends on the market

#

Go with the best value, always

leaden mauve
mossy venture
#

It goes back and forth and normally depends on what you're spending

leaden mauve
#

absolutely NOTHING

mossy venture
#

Ie, 13th gen is better value than am5 right now

mossy venture
leaden mauve
#

dang

cyan ravine
little osprey
#

It's the HD60X Elgato

leaden mauve
cyan ravine
little osprey
#

So maybe it's there for the 4k capture part of it

#

Idk

cyan ravine
#

If anything I'd alter it slightly for more cpu grunt but a 5600 will handle it

#

1080p especially

#

How much is the hd60x?

little osprey
#

$150 rn I think

cyan ravine
#

Ok lemme have a second look

paper summit

#

What's the Compatibly issue

cyan ravine
paper summit
#

Also no real point in 6700 as there not doing much gaming

cyan ravine

It'll work regardless

paper summit
#

But what do i know

cyan ravine
#

Bit less on the gpu which is sadge but should still work fine

#

I tried to fit a 5700X kek

paper summit
#

Whys the gpu so much 💀

cyan ravine
#

What you mean

paper summit
#

It sais 471

#

For me

little osprey

yaa I won't really be gaming on it

cyan ravine

Oh it says 259 for me

Pato made a list?

#

I never saw it

paper summit

Cause they asked me for help

cyan ravine
#

Nor that one

little osprey
#

Woah

cyan ravine
#

If Pato made it list it'll be better than mine

little osprey
#

That's alot of ssd

cyan ravine
#

That is indeed better

#

I was making one for 850+150 for that capture card tho

mossy venture
#

Only comment on thst is 6650xt is cheaper

little osprey
#

That one is a bit over $

paper summit
#

What's wrong with my pricing 💀

cyan ravine
little osprey
#

The motherboard doesn't look like there's wifi built

#

Unless I'm wrong

paper summit

Ur right sorry

No reason to be srry

@little osprey is your budget 1K including or not including the capture card

Does anyone see a problem with this build? I have everything for it except new CPU, motherboard, aio, M.2 and case.
It's an upgrade
I think I may pull the trigger today with most parts through amazon. Just because of the few deals I'm seeing on the parts I want
And I'm switching the 4000d case for a 5000d

little osprey
#

Not, but to me lower is better haha

Okay, and I was just giving a comment on something to change. Rude for no reason but ok

leaden mauve
#

how is that rude lol

Like night and day

But yeah a 6650xt would cheapen it brb

Theres a deal on one i found

Its a mech but fine cause its only a 6650

I also plan to get a few more fans and such as well

The only other thing is like Monitor, mouse keyboard etc, but I think I'll be able to find that on my own

Below would be awesome sauce

thank u guys

I've got everything but the Mobo, M.2, CPU and AIO

I'm upgrading from a b350-M and R5 3600. To that I9 13900k/ fk and mobo.

paper summit

Yea seems good tho mobo lil pricey

cyan ravine

I worry about my power supply not being up to snuff for everything. But it doesn't seem too far away?

little osprey
#

Woahh

warm cave
#

I'm using the PC for mostly Vray rendering, and some gaming on the side

#

That's why I want the CPU so bad. It's killing me RN

cyan ravine
# little osprey Woahh

To breathe a bit of perspective on what we mean by the specs of the elgato being vague as hell, this i5 in the list is more powerful than an i9 from 2 years ago

#

Just completely beats it hand over fist

#

So a recent Ryzen 5 will be better than a much older Ryzen 7

#

The same idealogy applies

#

Also I would suggest looking into avermedia capture cards

#

I'm not the best in this field but I hear they're better than elgato's in a number of cases

#

Esp. at 150

#

Pretty much yeah

#

150 is 4k price

Now I get to hurry up and wait….

If it's in the case with foam take it out, if not you can leave it on foam ig

Maybe just put it on cardboard

There shouldn't be any styrofoam on the back of the board in general

shocking? why would you? if you have to work on the pc you must unplug the pc from the wall anyway

no risk of shocking

static is more harmless than you think

unless you are working on a rug and constantly brushing your hair at the same time

Still don’t know what I’d work on though not sure what I did wrong

empty pollen

if you have to work on the pc, unplug the pc, press the on button to discharge the caps and good to go
