Ohh 3k

#

I thought 300

muted patio
#

MP33 is oof compared to SN550

#

If same money, SN550 is the better of the two

muted patio
#

No

#

Nothing with an H410 is worth buying

shell vortex
#

ok

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

Not really

fossil cedar
#

Ohh welp

muted patio
#

Sigh. What's your budget. All of these saved lists are terrible

shell vortex
#

yeah

#

my budget is under 1000

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio can u make me a 3000 one

muted patio
shell vortex
#

ok

#

yeah but i need a pc for under 1000 and it is good for gaming and video editing

#

is it good for video editing and gaming

muted patio
#

Yes

fossil cedar
#

Vintage just gave you one

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio can u make me one

#

???

shell vortex
fossil cedar
#

Yep

fossil cedar
#

And 3k budget

#

?

wicked frigate
#

Wdym

fossil cedar
#

Sorry responded to someone else and forgot

#

I can make you one, what budget and do you already have any items purchased

wicked frigate
#

I mean I do but I just want to see a really high end 3k build

#

For gaming

#

Heavy gaming and streaming

#

3k budget

potent portal
#

Could do dual gpu build for streaming at that budget but single gpu is usually the way to go

wicked frigate
#

Ok

potent portal
#

I'd build one but I'm on mobile. Bit of a pain.

frozen junco
#

But that would need 3090 Ali

#

Because if you want sli it is 90 or last gen

potent portal
#

Nah most people don't need a 3090

wicked frigate
#

I can’t just dm me when it’s done

#

Can

#

U

frozen junco
#

I know but you mentioned sli

#

2 cards

potent portal
#

No, doesn't need to be sli to have 2 cards

#

One can just be a dedicated encoder

fossil cedar
#

I do 80% of mine on mobile 💪

fossil cedar
wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

I might buy some parts from it too

muted patio
#

So we gonna do all this work and you're not gonna use it XD

wicked frigate
#

I might

#

I said I am not sure

muted patio
#

Man, you been doing this for 3-4 months now

wicked frigate
#

I might buy some parts form or

#

So

#

It’s meant for this

muted patio
#

It would be nice if you wouldn't waste the time of people trying to help you. We've been helping you for 4 months

Since December

wicked frigate

And I take theory advice too

Hello, I just purchased the MSI GE66 Dragonshield laptop 10SE version and I'm trying to find out what SSD's would work in it as I'd like to add one to the laptop. Newegg sent me here saying they don't know if the Samsung 980 would work or not

fossil cedar
half narwhal
#

Sort of abs better temps

fossil cedar
odd abyss
#

if i wanna upgrade to a 2080 super or even a 3060 would i need a water cooler

lyric thistle
#

No

odd abyss
#

would i get hot temps?

#

or no

#

oh and also, if i got a i9 10th gen or 11th gen, aswell with a 3060. would i need a better power supply

#

or no

#

i guess i would also need a better cpu cooler

lyric thistle
#

Yea

odd abyss
#

i’m still learning the “good kinds” of cpu coolers. what would you consider for a i9 10th or 11th gen

muted patio
#

i9?

#

Dark Rock Pro 4

#

Or GOOD AIO

#

Like, Arctic Freezer or something

#

They be hot cpu's

#

Look for something with 250W TDP capacity cooler

odd abyss
#

i9’s get hot?

#

is that a bad thing?

#

should i look into a different cpu at all?

#

isn’t an i9 one of the most recent and good intel cpu’s tho

#
#

holy that’s a long link, sorry for flood

#

idek if that’ll fit my case or my motherboard, looks massive

muted patio
#

They are good but they get hot

#

They draw a lot of power

#

200+W without overclocking

odd abyss
#

is it a bad thing that it’s gonna draw a lot of power, what’s a good cpu that’s good but isn’t gonna drain power?

#

actually i can look i guess one sec

muted patio
#

It's not a bad thing

#

It just requires a big, hefty cooler is all

odd abyss
#

well is it gonna give less performance from my other parts

#

and will that cooler even fit in my case and in my mb

#

that’s my only problem

muted patio
#

Mmmm

#

That B560 probs won't handle it

#

WOuld need a better motherboard

odd abyss
#

better motherboard? for the cooler?

muted patio
#

For the CPU

odd abyss
#

it says it can handle a 10th and 11th gen

muted patio
#

Motherboard supplies power to the CPU through VRM's. Those VRM's will cook

#

With a 10900 pulling 200+ Watts

odd abyss
#

new mb = new parts. this is gonna be a mess

potent portal
odd abyss
#

i would need like all new parts lol

muted patio
#

Ye

muted patio
#

CPU, cooler and MB at the least

odd abyss
#

bru i don’t even have my pc built yet that’s why i wanna know

#

but

#

whatever

potent portal
#

Intel likes to force you to upgrade for little to no reason

odd abyss
#

dam

#

that sucks

#

i wish i would’ve known that before buying

#

dam

muted patio
#

buying what?

odd abyss
#

i can’t even switch to ryzen bc my mb doesent fit that

potent portal
#

We're at the point where this is the last series for both Intel and amd sockets though

odd abyss
muted patio
#

You bought an i9?

odd abyss
#

no

#

look at my part list

#

that’s what i have rn

muted patio
#

oh

odd abyss
#

that’s my build

muted patio
#

Yeah, knew that lol

odd abyss
#

oh lol

muted patio
#

and you want to put an I9 in it yeah?

odd abyss
#

well for an upgrade

#

when i get there

muted patio
#

Honestly

#

11600

odd abyss
#

but if i need a new mb screw it

muted patio
#

more than enough

odd abyss
#

bc i need 1000 new pets

#

lol

muted patio
#

If you want an upgrade throw an 11600 in there with a better cooler

#

Maybe a Vetroo V5 or something

muted patio
#

Can't OC on the B560 so if 11600 is cheaper, get that

odd abyss
#

and then also this

#

and that would be good for an upgrade(

#

?*

muted patio
#

Vetroo doesn't list TDP for their coolers but yeah, would be decent upgrade

odd abyss
#

aight

potent portal
#

Not much point getting a k processor without a z motherboard, save money and do 11600 or 11600f

muted patio
#

11600K is the cheaper of them all LOL

odd abyss
#

would that cooler even fit in my case

#

aswell looks big

potent portal
#

Which is why I also mentioned the f

muted patio
#

Not much bigger than ID cooling

odd abyss
#

so it should fit?

lyric thistle
#

When the 10100 is cheaper than the 10100f peepoSadSip

muted patio
#

Did I miss something?

potent portal
muted patio
#

KF is $300, K is $250, K is $280 LOL

#

WHAT THE HECK INTEL

potent portal
#

Oh is 11600f not out yet? Or just out of stock?

muted patio
#

I can't find it anywhere

potent portal
#

Not out then, weird

#

Intel has been doing crazy things across the board lately

muted patio
#

less parts in CPU = more money

#

XD

potent portal
#

They seem to have given up on the high end cpu market completely

#

Immediately discounted the brand new parts lol

i have a 1660

i have pretty bad parts and didn’t do much research

i kinda suck and parts

but isk what to do now i already bought the parts lol

jagged ember

It's a fine parts list

Will last you some time as long as you don't want rtx or settings above high

stark nymph
#

anybody know how to fix a bottlenecked gpu?

muted patio
#

WDYM by fix and bottlenecked?

muted patio
stark nymph
#

well i’m really just assuming it’s bottlenecked my cpu is more powerful than my gpu and it can’t keep up. my cpu usage is very low while my gpu usage is at 100% even while idle

earnest olive
#

how long a pc lasts depends on what you intend to do with it

muted patio
#

GPU shouldn't be 100% at idle

#

No matter what it is

#

What are we working with here?

#

SOunds more like you have a miner virus to me if GPU is at 100% when doing nothing

stark nymph
#

my cpu is a i9-10850k and my gpu is a 1060 3gb

#

oh i’ve never heard of that virus i’ll have to look it up

muted patio
#

SO yeah, CPU is a bit overkill for the GPU but still, shouldn't be 100% if not gaming

stark nymph
#

ok i’ll look into the virus and see if that’s the problem

muted patio
earnest olive
#

play the latest games at 4K ultra 60+ fps? that 1660 is already obsolete
play the latest games at 1080p 60 fps? that 1660 will last you like 2 more years
play some of your favorites without jumping to every new hype train? it'll last you as long as you keep playing those games
play esports at 1080p 144hz? that 1660 will last you another 10 years
office pc? that 1660 will last you longer than windows 10 will

I need help i want to do frosted hardline On this PC anyone live in Dallas Texas area if they can help my first build

#

Quick question why the antivirus, there are free ones out there. It’s only necessary if your doing really professional work and stuff that can absolutely not be corrupted

#

Also where do you plan on mounting 10 fans?

#

3 on the side and 3 on the top and one in the back where do the other 3 go? Out of curiosity

marble seal
#

I know dynamic xl is 3 top, 3 side, 3 bottom, one rear.

Not sure if dynamic has as much room

austere wagon
#

I mean if your doing water cooking do you really need bottom fans?

rich helm
#

dont understand the 140mm

#

where are those going to go

marble seal
#

not sure, I only have an xl, Im assuming it's similar

marble seal
#

id advise against the kraken. galahad will do better for half the price, and if you really want that sensor panel, follow jayz guide and add your own imo

#

also antivirus is a scam tbh, grab a pihole or something and avoid spoopy sites and sketchy public downloads. mcafee will trash your performance imo

#

you can get your pro key for much cheaper as well

lyric thistle
#

Pihole is for misdirecting ad traffic so you don't need adblock

#

For antivirus just use defender

austere wagon
#

Also do you need 128 gb of ram

#

64 is overkill 128 it’s just a flex

#

Same a few dollars and get like 64 gigs unless you need that much ram for like idk 3D modeling or something

marble seal
#

there could be a legit need; 64 wasn't enough for me either

austere wagon
#

What are you doing that requires more than 64?

#

3D models?

#

Idk what would take up that much ram

marble seal
#

lots of docker containers / vms 😦

#

I have several projects running simultaneously that each need 8gb to build/run properly

Blackout builds UNITE!

#

potent portal
#

I saw, looks good to me too when done right

muted patio
#

Yes, little bland compared to some but just so clean

#

Their cable routing is fantastic also

potent portal
#

Yeah that one certainly qualified for "done right" in my book. Even with the PS5 controller next to it

severe axle
#

what about the top fans?

muted patio
#

I saw that, not ideal but if temps are fine, it's fine

#

hides DS4 controller from Fal'Cie

potent portal
#

No judgements, just weird having it by the pc. I have a PS4 too but playing on the pc with that controller is... Meh. The usb on both my controllers is loose now too, not meant to be used wired.

muted patio
#

Oh i has bluetooth

#

No wires

marble seal
#

counterpoint: gaming monitors are good for consoles too, why not hook the ps5 + switch + xbx to your main display as well and use it for all 4?

ps5 control is also very solid, probably is great for pc games still.

potent portal
#

Latency was noticeable for me when I tried that

round stream
#

do you need rgb controller for rgb

marble seal
#

i used to use ds4 and switch pro controls on pc before getting an elite 2. the only issue I had at all is in-game ui use xbox buttons 99% of the time, so "press x" isnt really x

#

if your mobo has argb headers, you can control it with that as well

rich helm
#

I still use a switch pro controller

#

Have to have the cemu controller thing for it to work with non steam games

potent portal
marble seal
#

switch pro controller is really nice tbh, besides the button confusion it felt nicer than the elite 2 tbh

rich helm
#

Yeah some games only accept what’s called x input and that’s Xbox controlls

#

I believe steam converts pro controller to x input

#

When you set up controller

marble seal
#

"press x" is not the x button slows my reaction time too much

#

its inverted

rich helm
#

Yeah I got used to it in games where I didn’t have to press buttons too much or if it was like jumping which was th bottom button

marble seal
#

steam lets you flip it, but then it feels weird

#

the best is when you can flip it and then remap in game back to original

rich helm
#

I should probably cancel game pass lol o don’t really ever play it

#

I literally only play like clustertruxk and a bit of subnautica

#

I have forza downloaded but forza you have to dedicate like an hour and a half play session or else it feels like you didn’t go anything

Can someone give me a build that can run fortnite at 240+ FPS In game at 1080p on low settings

#

General idea

#

Can swap the card out with 2070 or 1080 if you can find it

#

@quasi canopy

quasi canopy
scenic turret
#

Yea if you're running on low settings, it's easy to find a build that can run 240+ fps

#

For the 3060 though it might be harder to find

#

2070/2060S/1080 can maybe achieve similar fps

misty heron
#

Should i still build if i want to

muted patio
#

If you can afford to and have patience

fossil cedar
#

And afford like vintage said

misty heron
#

Oh i was asking for my cousin

#

Cause he was asking me but i dont know enough to give him completely accurate info

fossil cedar
#

Well if they have the patience to find a gpu

muted patio
#

Unless you want to wait for a GPU, prebuilts are probably the way.

fossil cedar
#

And can afford the slighty inflated prices

misty heron
#

He said he was getting one in september

#

So i told him to just think abt it in like august since prices can rise or fall

#

Im p sure he wants to build one for the learning experience

fossil cedar
#

You'll have to see what the situation is like but unless intel comes in with some godsent of a gpu a prebuilt will be the way to go

raw crane
#

I had something else connected to it

#

And it worked

worn wave
#

Is it terminated properly

#

hm

muted patio
#

Then either cable is bad or port on MB is bad or drivers are incorrect. Does the ethernet device show up in Device manager? Any errors with it?

raw crane
#

It shows up in device manager yeah

muted patio
#

Any errors or just Device is working properly in properties?

raw crane
#

It just says that it’s not connected

muted patio

Try a different cable and check the router/modem room to make sure something didn't get unplugged

Okay I’ll do that

odd cosmos
#

do you guys tink buying a pre built with a gpu and then selling all its parts is a vaild way of getting a gpu?

muted patio
#

If the price is right, yes

odd cosmos
#

which ones do you suggest?

muted patio
#

as cheap as you can get with the GPU you want

#

that will resell well

#

SOmething with an INtel CPU so it's not useless without a GPU

round stream

how much would you buy for a 5 year macbook

#

odd cosmos
#

and power supplies

#

so idk which ones are good

muted patio
#

Most of them are

#

BUt you don't care since you're just reselling without GPU yeah

odd cosmos
#

oH!

#

not each piece by piece?

#

the entire thing ummmm

muted patio
#

I mean

#

Be easier to get one with an Intel CPU

#

So the whole thing works and yoink the GPU out and sell the whole tower instead of piece by piece

odd cosmos
#

oh ok

odd cosmos
muted patio
#

So the whole PC isn't useless when you sell it

Scrape off pins

On a cpu that doesn't have pins?

XD

#

Was waiting for that

Did they scrape the pins off the motherboard?

vague oracle
#

Wait a minute, I gotta call him

stoic island
#

@muted patio what's the last Intel generation that has pins on the CPU?

vague oracle
#

Time to figure out what he actually scraped off

Never installed an intel thought it had pins lol

Oh damn

I thought they had it up to like 2000 series

Everything after that was LGA I think

stoic island

Fair

muted patio

Ye, 775 was LGA

stoic island
#

Older than I thought

Yeah he scraped them off the motherboard

Slightly better

i know nothing about pcs so i was looking for a pc that could run fortnite and cod at 240+ fps in game at 1080p at Low

muted patio

That's going to be more CPU than GPU at 240+ FPS

#

That PC MIGHT do it

quasi canopy
#

do u know of a better build

muted patio
#

That PC should be able to do it on low settings from what I'm seeing

#

yeah, 1080p low

@stoic island @muted patio did we ever get some benchmarks on vetroo v5 vs se 224 xt ?

odd cosmos
desert gulch
#

And it did rly rly well for it's price

odd cosmos
#

ye

desert gulch
#

I'd go v5 rn tbh

#

23 bucks rn since on sale

odd cosmos
#

like depending on the cpu, its prob less than a degree between the two

#

at that point, you can choose based on aesthetics, correct me if im wrong, watched reviews on both and didnt really notice a difference

desert gulch
#

I mean value wise tho v5 is the way to go rn

yea ik i was just curious

@desert gulch hello again, I am booking for b560 and i7-10700 simple one, would my psu coolermaster 600w enough and what gpu do you suggest, i want it to be rtx one

desert gulch
#

id go 3060ti for the best bang-for-buck

#

msrp of 400 USD

royal nest
#

Well, honestly I want a mid range one like i said previously that i want a long run pc just like my previous one, I had gtx 960 msi 4g which was good until like 2018 but not anymore

#

So 3060ti you think is good? Is it better than 3070 coz i was thinking about it

muted patio
#

3060TI to 3070 is only about 10% performance for a lot more money

#

3060TI is sweet spot

used OCCT to test my manual ram ocs

#

finds errors quickly

#

haven't had any issues after passing OCCT

vagrant olive
#

alright thanks

earnest olive
#

and i went pretty extreme with tightening timings

vagrant olive
#

yeah im dealing with odd crashes, no real rhyme or reason to them, doesnt always happen when im doing something strenuous either. all i know is that it goes black screen and my computers fans ramp up and then down, power switch doesnt work (i have to use the psu switch). and error led is on dram. i figured memory might be the issue if thats what the error led says

#

its not looking like memory is the issue (probably) which means i have no clue what it is

shut rampart
#

Hi guys

#

This might be bad but I was thinking of buying a Rtx 3090 pre built

obsidian wigeon
#

psu gonna go pop

shut rampart
#

What do you guys think

#

iBUYPOWER BQ162iV2

muted patio
#

$4500, mmmmm what do you need a 3090 for?

obsidian wigeon
#

topaz vale
#

But you can go cheaper if thats not in your budget ofc

#

I've just heard good things about both boards

muted patio
#

X570 TUF doesn't have flashback so go B550F

topaz vale
#

Bruh really? I thought for sure the tuf would have flashback

#

That's scuffed

muted patio
#

Flashback on X570 is honestly rare

#

hardly any have it unless you get to the high end boards

topaz vale
#

Microcenter can do the bios update for you for $30 if you bring your build up there, which is likely what I'm going to do :/ don't have a 3000 series gpu and it's faster/safer than ordering a kit

muted patio
#

Ah, in that case, you'll be fine

#

I have the TUF X570 Gaming WiFi. Great board IMO

topaz vale
#

Oh nice! Yeah I got the TUF 3060ti OC Which is why I'm looking at the TUF x570 specifically

#

Gotta match those components lol

Is this the channel to send a build list to for opinions?

muted patio
# shut rampart Games

THe performance difference between 3080 and 3090 for games doesn't justify the cost increase IMO. 3080 should be just fine.

muted patio
#

3060 is good for 1080p and some mild 1440p. It's essentially a 2060 Super.

shut rampart

just got paid and I can spend about 2.5k

this is my upgrade

anything else you think I should upgrade @muted patio ?

#

with a 2.5k

muted patio
#

Samsung Read Speed 3500 Megabytes Per Second
Write Speed 2700 megabits_per_second

shut rampart
#

like brand new

muted patio
#

Mushkin is faster tho

#

Mushkin Max Read: 3,500 MB/s ; Max Write: 3,000 MB/s

#

Samsung is a $250 drive

shut rampart
#

is there anything better for Mushkin Pilot E

#

or is it the best of the best

muted patio
#

There's the P31 gold for $130

shut rampart
#

should I upgrade my motherboard?

#

cuz I have like 1.5k left

#

or 1k left

muted patio
#

what is it

shut rampart
#

b450

muted patio
#

Nah, motherboards don't add performance. That one is fine for 5800x

shut rampart
#

im thinking of getting 32g of ram

#

cuz im planing to maybe run a minecraft server

#

on my pc

muted patio
#

5700XT can do decent at 1440p, maybe an upgrade to a higher resolution monitor would be good

#

32 GB ram could work too

shut rampart
#

can you find what type I should buy

muted patio
#

Ram or monitor?

shut rampart
#

ram

muted patio
#

The crucial ballistix in 32 GB is a great choice

#

3600 C16

shut rampart
#

do you think I should get 32g or 128g

#

for a miencraft server

#

and what about the cpu cooler

muted patio
#

How many people on this server

shut rampart
#

20 people

#

well

#

1-15

#

but alot of mods

muted patio
#

That will depend more on internet speed as well. You have good upload speed?

shut rampart
#

nope

muted patio
#

Oh, that's going to be an issue then

shut rampart
#

I mean I can upgrade it

#

to get upload speed

muted patio
#

If you want 15 people I'd recommend it. Doing some digging, 5 mbps should handle 10 people or so. If you have 10 mbps, that would be better unless you want to live stream while you're playing with them?

shut rampart
#

I have 2 mbps

#

20*

#

not 2

muted patio
#

Oh 20?

shut rampart
#

yha

muted patio
#

That should be enough to host 15 people and stream

shut rampart
#

ok

#

so 128?

muted patio
#

No no no

#

Don't need that much

#

32 GB should honestly be fine, if it's not, could always buy 2 more sticks of ram for 64 GB but I'd try 32 GB first. I've got 32 and can host quite a few games and play at the same time

shut rampart
#

do I really need a new PSU?

muted patio
#

Um, yeah

#

That Rosewill ain't the best

shut rampart
#

any other PSU?

muted patio
#

and 550W for a 5700XT is really pushing it

shut rampart
#

maybe a 800w one

muted patio
#

750W will get you 3070 no problem if you decide to upgrade

#

or 6800XT

shut rampart
#

any other brand?

muted patio
#

And the phanteks amp for $109 is a top tier unit, have it myself

muted patio
#

Ya, that's good stuff

#

Great for Ryzen CPU

shut rampart
#

is the stock cooler

#

fine for the CPU

muted patio
#

Oh for 5800x?

shut rampart
#

yha

muted patio
#

No

#

let's deal with that then

shut rampart
#

which one

muted patio
#

Air or water?

#

AIO?

shut rampart
#

Water or AIO

#

the best one

muted patio
#

RGB or no?

shut rampart
#

no need

muted patio

Lemme check case fitment

shut rampart
#

case is

#

#

ya

shut rampart
#

ok

muted patio
#

I also checked ram clearance, it will work with the Ballistix ram for top case mount

shut rampart
#

can you check if there any other ones

#

maybe a better one

muted patio
#

There are no better ones than that

#

Don't like the CPU block?

shut rampart
#

yha

muted patio
#

cuz of the fan?

shut rampart
#

yup

muted patio
#

K

shut rampart
#

I want a square one

muted patio

Hmmmmm

RCB is no need but if there a better one with RCB I can take it

is my case too small to fit the biggers cpu coolers?

#

Air coolers??

idk what I want tbh

#

I dont want a shoe shape or a odd shape

muted patio
#

Dark rock pro 4 then

fossil cedar
#

Or u12a but that's been a whack price for a while

muted patio
#

$109 or something silly??

#

Even $90 for air IMO just go water

shut rampart
#

yha I can do the dark rock pro 4

#

what about

#

be quiet! Dark Rock Pro TR4, BK023, 250W TDP, for AMD TR4 Only, CPU Cooler

#

do I get the bk023?

#

or 22?

No, that's for threadripper

shut rampart

for some resson

shut rampart

will my ran fit

and do I need to buy one

shy stratus
#

Im planning on buying a scalped 3070 which has 8+6 pin on it and i was wondering if it is ok to use this dual 8 pin cable rather than using two different 8 pin cables, does anyone know?

viral ore
#

just try it with the single cable

#

use it for a week or so, if theres no issues, then there's no issues

#

if you have issues, try it with two individual cables, see if that fixes it

shy stratus
#

Thanks, just wanted to get a second opinion,

viral ore
#

it can't damage anything

shy stratus
#

True

viral ore
#

either it works or it doesn't, so you can test it out

#

I am inclined to believe it will be fine though

At $300 you can definitely afford that

shut rampart

yes

muted patio
topaz vale
# shut rampart yes

Yeah, get an AT2020 USB+ for $100 and shop around for some wireless studio headphones.

#

Mic/audio quality will be massively better

#

There are a lot of corners cut with "gaming" headsets. The mic is almost always bad, and the audio isn't much better. At $300 it's better to not pay a premium for a mediocre product

topaz vale
#

Good $200 wireless studio headphones

shut rampart

and you say a $100 mic?

and

?

That ram is way too slow for Ryzen

#

3600 C16 is what you need

#

PSU is also SFF factor, you'll need an ATX full size PSU for this

what would you suggest the motherboard to be changed to

i originally wanted the B560 Plus but i decided to stick with something a bit cheaper.

whats your budget for mb?

#

150 200?

#

also you need atx or matx

little osprey
#

form factor doesn't matter. not like i'll be staring into the case all day
don't think we need anything 130+ for the mobo either, as B560 boards are inflated.

👍

#

there are not many that i see under 130 rn maybe the asus prime one

#

its 110 on newegg

@little osprey I would go for prime if you ever see it in stock

for the prime?
