#

bruh

#

I9 11900k

#

better

#

much better

#

intel = gaming

#

amd = editing

#

except new i9 12th gen

#

which is coming

charred quail
#

eh

stoic island
#

What

#

11900k is so inefficient

#

5900x will beat 11900k in most games

#

@charred quail what do you do? What software?

charred quail
#

game

#

plus Davinchi

stoic island
#

Prob won't need more than 32gb of ram then

versed finch
#

ok in some games yes

#

like multi-cores games AMD its a beast

#

at single-cores games Intel its better

stoic island
#

What

sharp pelican
#

Can someone recommend a fully modular 850w psu under $120

stoic island
#

revolution d.f.

#

or a-gf

sharp pelican
#

The msi one goes in stock on Sept 8th i think

stoic island
#

and? that's in 7 days

sharp pelican
#

I need a psu kinda soon

stoic island
#

revo d.f. then

sharp pelican
#

Bet

#

It should come Friday

stoic island
versed finch
#

in blender

#

and some editing programs

sharp pelican
#

that's why i bought my 5900x

obsidian wigeon
#

that's gaming

#

literally gaming lmao

#

11900k is meh value even for games

#

intel isn't even the best for gaming anymore

#

it changed

#

amd now is on par

#

or better

sharp pelican
#

wait until 12th gen

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

sharp pelican
#

16 cores

obsidian wigeon
#

it's not worth buying 11th gen i9 at all

sharp pelican
#

^

charred quail
#

wanna take a look at my build?

sharp pelican
#

Sure

charred quail
obsidian wigeon
#

you could buy cheap win keys from ebay, just to add

stoic island
obsidian wigeon
#

the problems i see with build are ram and ssd

stoic island
obsidian wigeon
#

why gotta people keep going corsair, jeez

stoic island
#

and yea corsair is sad

#

vegeance pro is really sad

obsidian wigeon
#

imma fix that build

stoic island
#

really weird storage layout

obsidian wigeon
#

ssd is overpriced n outdated for the m.2

#

for that price ya could get p31

stoic island
#

I'll edit it too

obsidian wigeon
#

well i'll let you then lel

#

im sure you'd do better

charred quail
#

what me>?

obsidian wigeon
#

mr1111 is fixing it for you

charred quail
#

Oh amazing

stoic island
#

@charred quail need wifi or no

charred quail
#

:3

#

Yes

sharp pelican
charred quail
#

I want wired but I don't wanna game in the laundry room

obsidian wigeon
#

that's one good build

stoic island
#

n7 doesn't have wireless iirc, I'll just change board

charred quail
#

Ohh rup

#

The n7 looks so amazing

#

Like dreamy

stoic island
#

:p

obsidian wigeon
#

it does have wifi

#

apparently

#

nzxt says wifi 6e capability

charred quail
#

N7 inside a nzxt case look amazing and makes me drol

stoic island
#

does it?

#

whatever

obsidian wigeon
#

yes

stoic island
#

aorus elite ax is cheaper by 50$ anyways

obsidian wigeon
#

they wanna pay extra for the looks

#

so idk

stoic island
#

I disagree soooooooo aorus elite ax going in for now

charred quail
#

I'll look at it

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah mobo is fine to swap later i suppose

#

other glaring issues are ram, ssd and probably psu

stoic island
#

p31 2tb isn't on pcpp yet it seems

#

oh well

#

manually gonna put it in

charred quail
#

What is that

stoic island
#

good ssd

charred quail
#

Owo

stoic island
#

@charred quail how much storage do you actually need

charred quail
#

I never want to worry about again

#

I have 3tb rn and always run out

stoic island
#

could always just slap in hdds

#

but eh

charred quail
#

I do lol

stoic island
#

I mean

#

a single x300 4tb for 100$

#

ez done

Frostybox#2021 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

charred quail
#

Oops

#

Ssd would rather

#

I don't wanna wait ages for a hard drive to do move files like I do now

stoic island
#

oh well

charred quail
#

I have a 5k budget for a pc 4k would be nice but eh

stoic island
#

it's your money

charred quail
#

That's why I'm so loose atm

#

I want the best :>

stoic island
#

are you set on the case? if so, why?

charred quail
#

Either meshify or NZXT

#

I love the look

stoic island
#

:p

#

what about p500a

charred quail
#

I have a D5000 atm and it's nice but lame

#

Lemme look

stoic island
#

or corsair 5000d

#

or pure base 500dx

#

or lancool ii mesh

charred quail
#

Ohhh that's sexy

stoic island
#

or td500 mesh

charred quail
#

Lemme look these up but im aiming for clean as hell

#

Clean > RGB mess

stoic island
#

time to steal vintage's image of his p500a then

#

lemme find the pic

charred quail
#

I'd rather have an accented RBG look

#

Oh nice

stoic island
#

Oh nice it finally embeds itself

#

and p500a digital does come with rgb fans in the front

charred quail
#

I'm considering that p500a

sharp pelican
#

This is my p500a

MVIMG_20210831_152959.jpg
charred quail
#

I see alot if pictures where the GPU is mounted sideways owo

sharp pelican
#

ye

stoic island
#

vert mount is optional

sharp pelican
#

^

#

its not a decent option airflow wise

stoic island
#

it's good in p500a afaik, since there's enough space between the side panel and where the card would be

charred quail
#

Yes I want it

#

Phantex

stoic island
#

according to vintage, who did vert mount the card in that image

sharp pelican
#

its pretty expensive

stoic island
#

it's like a 50$ bracket iirc

sharp pelican
#

I payed $120

stoic island
#

really?

sharp pelican
#

for my case

charred quail
#

Love lil RGB line accent

sharp pelican
#

ye

stoic island
charred quail
#

Yes yes p500a

#

Ahh she's sexy too

uncut pelican
#

Anyone know how to disable ig

charred quail
#

@stoic island

#

i shall be back

#

and ty so much!! ill be a few mins

potent portal
#

IG? You'll need to be more specific, that stands for like 8 different things

stoic island
#

instagram?

#

oh yea I forgot to finish making that list

#

don't even remember if I was finished with it

#

oh well

#

p31 is at the bottom because pcpp is dumb

charred quail
#

western digital huh?

sharp pelican
#

ye

charred quail
#

is it better or doesnt it matter

sharp pelican
#

i got their SN750 2TB

#

speeds are outta this world

#

In game

versed finch
#

hey kids

#

dont forget

sharp pelican
#

yo

versed finch
#

RGB boost you PC

sharp pelican
#

no

versed finch
#

yes

charred quail
#

I may want a 6tb buy I'm unsure if that will start to make speeds slower

#

I sorta want a beefy ssd for storage and a main one for important stuff to keep my pc booting fasr

#

Oh u did lol

#

I'll be honest I'll build this in 2.5 months

#

But if a 3090 super comes out I'm getting it

sharp pelican
#

??

sharp pelican
charred quail
#

It's only rumored

#

Hard drives suck

sharp pelican
#

????

charred quail
#

7200rpm is what I have now

sharp pelican
#

they do like 250mb write and 300 read

#

at least mine does

#

Buying a high capacity ssd doesn't mean ur getting ssd speeds

still roostBOT
#
Frostybox#2021 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

charred quail
#

That wasn't bad but okay

sharp pelican
#

whatya say?

charred quail
#

Just talking about my SSD time vs HDD

#

I have 2x ssds

#

And a 2tb had 7200rpm

#

Takes forever to interact with it

#

Ssd moves from the other quick

#

Have a bunch of files that need to be moved to an SSD quick? Forget it

#

Ah yes too much for my SSDs toss it in the HDD now wait 4 hrs for the 64 gb program to move

#

So I wanted a 2tb ssd and a massive 4 for storage

#

Make things easy and not have 2x 512gb ssd and 2tb HDD

potent portal
#

SSD is better because there's no seek time, making random i/o performance much higher. On a HDD you need to wait for the read arm to seek to the right spot to read the data.

#

HDD is good still for mass storage that doesn't need that boost in i/o

potent portal
charred quail
#

Owo

#

I tried and failed

#

Had to factory reset

potent portal
#

You just need the driver ready before you install windows into the volume

#

Windows has a software raid thing too, so you don't need to mess with bios

charred quail
#

Oh neat

#

I bought a disk and the disk never worked again

stoic island
#

Raid 0 bad for reliability tho

charred quail
#

Oof

stoic island
#

One drive fail you lose everything

potent portal
#

Not much difference in modern drives, I'd only avoid it for mission critical systems

stoic island
#

But windows storage spaces might be fun

#

I just don't like how one drive failing means you losing all data on all drives that's in raid 0

#

And well, also, mix matched speeds

#

Raid 0 a HDD and a SSD and whatever happens to be stored on the SSD goes fast, and whatever happens on the HDD is still going to be slow

potent portal
#

It would go almost double the speed of the slower drive

charred quail
#

I'm sure a 2tb and a 4tb hard drive will give me good speeds

stoic island
#

It doesn't matter if it's stored mostly on the slower drive

#

Raid 0 can't make a drive read faster

#

It's just you might be reading at the max speed of both drives

charred quail
#

Mr 111

#

How did you make my dream build so cheap lol

#

It was almost 5k when I made it now its 3

potent portal
#

We do this a lot lol

stoic island
#

you're welcome

#

it's just cutting costs of things you don't need

charred quail
#

I lowkey want a z73

stoic island
#

no oo oo

#

be like bleach

#

just add in your own screen

charred quail
#

I can?

#

Wot

potent portal
stoic island
#

lemme find bleach's image

potent portal
#

That setup is cheaper than the difference in cost going to a kraken

stoic island
#

found it

charred quail
#

Wow I can hide the little panel in the power supply hole

potent portal
#

Yep, and it's basically just a small display so you can put whatever you want on screen

charred quail
#

Even p0rn?

potent portal
#

Technically nothing would stop you

charred quail
#

Ahh I need to deal with raspberry pi tho

potent portal
#

The pi just makes it easier, you can accomplish the same thing with just a small screen with hdmi

charred quail
#

Wait can I put one between the power supply and the hole?

#

Or too thin?

#

Pi makes it easier?

#

I never got the hang of pi

potent portal
#

The pi handles power and data, you don't really need it but it makes it easier once you program it

charred quail
#

That would be harder for mee

#

Idk any programing

charred quail
#

Power and data tho?

#

Idk what a raspberry pi even does to be fair

crimson thicket
#

What ever you want it too

stoic island
#

It's a tiny computer basically

crimson thicket
#

It's just a small single board computer

potent portal
#

You can just plug the screen straight into your GPU and it'll show up as a second monitor, then you can drag some monitoring program to that screen

#

Or watch youtube on it lol

crimson thicket
#

@charred quail it's basically a computer on a board the size of a playing card

#

I use one for a pi hole

#

Basically network ad blocker

stoic island
#

there are also some displays you can use usb for

crimson thicket
#

Ppl make emulator boxes with them

#

Ya I've seen ones that you can get the pin out adapter USB to your mobo

potent portal
#

I've seen handheld ones that look like retro consoles, they're pretty versatile

charred quail
#

Would it be hard to program?

#

And what's wiremod?

stoic island
#

Cablemod? That's a company

charred quail
#

Last question

#

NVMe doesn't even seem worth

potent portal
#

Compared to sata? It's not worth it for gaming in many cases, but overall system responsiveness is better on nvme

charred quail
#

should i get a NVMe for system ?

#

like small 250gb for system fastness

stoic island
#

Uh

#

2tb NVMe drive for pretty reasonable price was on the list

charred quail
#

o h ohh

hazy wadi
#

Get nvme gen 4.0 m.2 4tb

charred quail
#

i got a 4tb SSD

hazy wadi
#

No

#

Nvme gen 4 m.2 4tb

worn wave
#

PCIe 4.0 SSDs are not worth the price for their performance at all for gaming,.

hazy wadi
#

No

#

Never

alpine viper
#

so for saving/transferring big files(such as CAD files) would be a pretty good reason to get m.2's for their speed?

charred quail
#

is the M27Q owrth?

#

worth?

worn wave
#

Yes

charred quail
#

or should i get the Nani Ips

little osprey
#

Anyone know a good mobo for 5600x?

potent portal
little osprey
#

Is i5-11600K good for 2080 super Asus trix?

potent portal
#

Yes

little osprey
#

Aight then I was right

#

What's the downside for motherboard MSI Z590-A PRO?

#

Imma use it for i5-11600k with 2080 super Asus trix.

stoic island
#

@charred quail M27q is great

charred quail
#

😄

stoic island
#

@little osprey what are you going to do with it?

little osprey
#

With?

charred quail
#

4k seems like alot for less Fps

little osprey
#

If u meant the setup then gaming, streaming.

tardy heron
potent portal
little osprey
#

I'm pretty sure using ethernet is better than wifi

potent portal
#

Looks good overall

tardy heron
potent portal
#

Much faster and more stable yeah

tardy heron
#

just if u didnt have ethernet it would be bad to get this

#

i mean even if u didnt have ethernet u could still get a wifi card tbh

little osprey
#

I prefer ethernet.

tardy heron
#

yh

little osprey
#

BTW how much is wifi card?

potent portal
#

Good ones are about $40-50

#

Cheap ones more like $10

charred quail
#

mr1111 can u look at this ram? i like it a lil more

little osprey
#

That's surprisingly cheap.

#

Can I post the whole setup here I got planned for? Just wanna know if that's good.

stoic island
#

For just streaming and gaming, no real downside to z590-a pro

charred quail
visual sun
#

Sorry i ran out of power yesterday

stoic island
#

Trident z rgb is eh

#

@charred quail check out ballistic rgb rq

little osprey
#

2080 super Asus trix
Z Trident neo 32x2
i5-11600k
Noctua NH-D15S
750W 80+ gold
MSI Z590-a pro
Samsung 970 EVO plus
Deepcool MATREXX

#

That's the setup I'm after rn. Got the gpu and ram already.

stoic island
#

What specific PSU

#

Why so much ram

little osprey
#

Cause I got it as bday gift

stoic island
#

Case seems underwhelming

charred quail
#

@stoic island i love it ty

little osprey
#

Chieftec 750W, Polaris, 80 PLUS Gold

#

The psu

little osprey
potent portal
stoic island
#

Would grab like td500 mesh kinda case

little osprey
#

Deepcool MATREXX 50 ADD-RGB 4F, Black, Tempered Glass / the full name of it

stoic island
#

Chieftec Polaris 750w is okay but you could do better

#

MSI A-GF 750w has been p cheap recently

little osprey
#

Aight lemme check on it rq.

stoic island
#

Do you plan on OCing the cpu at all?

#

Because d15s feels like it'll prob be inadequate if you try to oc a 11600k

#

Stock it'll prob be fine

little osprey
#

I don't really want to OC it.

little osprey
#

I got all the items from the stores in my city.

charred quail
worn wave
little osprey
#

Nope

#

Europe

#

More specifically Latvia.

stoic island
#

That makes things a bit annoying

#

What about enermax revolution d.f.?

little osprey
#

Lemme check

#

650w one right?

stoic island
#

750/850w

little osprey
#

Shii that's 140€

stoic island
#

Sad, should be like 100/110 euros

#

That reminds me, what about Corsair tx-m

#

Or RMx

little osprey
#

Lemme check

stoic island
#

And Phanteks amp

little osprey
#

126€ for 750w

charred quail
#

damn after seeing how multiplayer games reach 4k 144hz really easy it makes me sad

#

maybe with a 3080ti i should get a 4k monitor

little osprey
#

4k do be demanding

charred quail
#

multiplayer games can easily do it

#

just not single player it seems

little osprey
#

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

#

I mean it's all about optimization

charred quail
#

idk

little osprey
#

-. -

potent portal
#

Depends on the game, older ones like cs:go are so low in requirements it's easy to get stupid high frame rate

little osprey
#

Let's not talk about rust...

#

It's pretty bad optimized.

charred quail
#

even 4k Cold war can get 100 fps

#

ultra

#

nodlss

potent portal
#

Better to get 1440p if you want high refresh still

little osprey
#

Fps sometimes can lie xD

brittle tinsel
#

wtf? so I got the final thumb nut in the mail today, threw it on and my temps are 10-20 degrees lower. it use to idle at 48-56 with a socket temp of 34, now the cpu is idle at 30-35 with a socket temp of 23-24. I didnt think that 1 thumb nut made a difference like that or I would have called arctic day one

potent portal
#

Depending on the game yeah, but there's fps monitors built into the video kernel you can use

potent portal
brittle tinsel
charred quail
#

is that ram okay?

brittle tinsel
# charred quail https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JF67t8

I dont see why it wouldnt be, I have the same thing but just vengence LPX from corsair. same CL16 and DDR4-3600. I sit around 52%-60% ram usage when gaming and streaming, or when doing other things. not a bad choice at all

charred quail
#

wanna make sure that buying them like thats okay or if i need to bundle em

brittle tinsel
#

I bought 2 separate 16gb kits and it works fine, my best friend bought a 16gb kit and 2 months later bought another and his is fine too

charred quail
#

sweet

potent portal
#

It's hit or miss, not 100% that it'll work even if it's the same model of memory because they might use a different die

charred quail
#

damn

#

scared

potent portal
#

Crucial uses their own dies so it's more likely to work than other brands at least

brittle tinsel
#

frost, you arent getting any hard drives, just solid states?

little osprey
#

I am not getting any hard drives aswell, is that a bad move?

potent portal
#

All SSD builds are fine if it's in the budget

brittle tinsel
#

I was told to have at least 2 tb HDD to 1tb SSD

potent portal
#

HDD is just better for large amounts of storage for cheap

little osprey
#

I'll get myself 1tb if ssd and that's ab it.

brittle tinsel
#

and like fal said it was cheap

stoic island
#

Pretty sure 8GB ballistix is most likely rev e

brittle tinsel
#

I personally have 2 4tb HDDs, 1 1tb HDD, 250gb SSD, 500gb SSD, and a 2tb SSD.
I use a 4tb HDD for general storage and downloading to, and other small things.
I use the 250gb SSD as a boot partition.
the 2TB SSD for games like tarkov, pubg, and sea of thieves. (Rust and some others havent been redownloaded yet)
the 500gb SSD I just use for programs like discord and things as it was salvaged from my last build.
I use the second 4TB HDD for unity game making, scripting and other projects that I am associated with.
and then lastly the 1tb is juts videos, clips and videos ready to upload. this drive was also salvaged from my last build.

(This is what I personally chose) the one joy I find in computers is everyone can have them in their own personally config. only barrier is money.

little osprey
#

Rust goes on ssd

#

Cause it loads forever.

brittle tinsel
#

I know that, I just havent downloaded it again, I had it on the SSD on my old system before the PSU took the motherboard, ram, cpu and other parts with it in a surge

little osprey
#

Rip.

potent portal
#

I load fallout 4 off my ssd. I forgot the game was supposed to have long load times for a bit lol.

brittle tinsel
#

I havent gotten around to installing half of my steam library yet, couldnt be bothered until the internet speed upgrade on the 9th. it typically takes 2 days to download 60gb games for me right now

potent portal
#

Make sure you budget in a good surge protector this time 😉

brittle tinsel
brittle tinsel
little osprey
#

I hate my internet, it's like 80mb/s when I don't need it, and it's like 20mb/s when I do need it

#

Sometimes it just decides to disappear for 6hours

potent portal
brittle tinsel
#

Im paying for 50mb/s now and only getting 1-5mb/s when I dont need it and less than 1mb/s when I do. they are upgrading these lines to 100mb/s and say it will be more stable but we will see

little osprey
#

On the days I don't feel like playing games it always is high, but when I do want to play games it's just slow.

#

I'm paying for 100mb/s

brittle tinsel
#

you can play for speeds now? xD sorry I know what you meant

little osprey
#

my build is an intel i9 10900k paired with an msi z490 gaming carbon pro or whatever it’s called, 64 gigs of gskill trident z royal ddr4-3600, and 4tb of samsung 860 evos, i’m still trying to get my hands on an rtx3080 (or ti) ftw3 or an aorus xtreme

#

Damn autocorrect

potent portal
#

I got sick of Xfinity giving me 400 download and only 10 mb upload, total BS. I switched to t-mobile home internet and I pay half what I paid before for 200/50 speed.

little osprey
#

How much do u pay for 400mb/s?

potent portal
#

It was like $110 a month

#

I pay $50 now

little osprey
#

That's expensive.

#

Depending on where u live obviously.

brittle tinsel
#

the place im moving to has 940mb/s for $60/month your first year then $80 a month after that

potent portal
#

If there was any other option I would have taken it. Xfinity has a monopoly over the cable lines here and there's no fiber in my complex.

little osprey
#

940mb/s reality 200mb/s take it or leave it.

potent portal
#

I recommended a modem to a buddy and he went from 1gb to 1.2gb speed, and better upload

little osprey
#

Tbh I wouldn't need that much upload or download xD

brittle tinsel
#

What modem

little osprey
#

Except maybe for uploading.

formal girder
#

I need a new modem but idk which one to get cause i wanna get better uploads than 10mbps of unstable upload

brittle tinsel
#

The place I’m moving to has fiber optic

desert gulch
#

And it's nice for game dowloads

#

I get around 120mbps over here

potent portal
brittle tinsel
#

Oh net gear, I have heard they are really good

potent portal
little osprey
#

Hoe many Gigabytes do u guys even use per month?

#

For me under 200gbs.

potent portal
#

I average about 1.2TB

formal girder
#

Around 500gbs per week

little osprey
#

Bruh where do u even use all that on

formal girder
#

Videos to upload, discord stream source at 60fps, gaming, file transfers and game downloads

potent portal
#

The kids like to stream from disney+ lol

formal girder
#

File transfers to send to someone else

little osprey
#

XD

#

Does streaming take up alot of mbs?

formal girder
#

And sending files over 380gbs can be hefty

desert gulch
#

Depends

#

What res and all that

#

you guys only average 1tb or less than a tb???? I average 3.4-4tb per line on 2 lines

Also depends on the compression used by the source

$50 a month, period. Taxes and all.

It's slightly higher latency than cable (not noticeable for me) and upload is much faster than xfi

#

Best result I got from speedtest was 180/50 on 4G. Results may vary by region. 5G is coming soon, I'm on the waitlist.

Ohh nvm

180/50 on 4g ;-;

We get like 20 down

stoic island

tbh, I believe my wifi plan at home only promises 400/40, but I get like 400/100

40 up is still 4x what I was promised, and I only got like 8 lol

Yikes. You'd save money and get better speeds then.

fossil cedar
#

Oof

stoic island
#

You should probably check for local IPs tho

#

#

I would tell you the local IP I have but this IP literally only serves like 2 cities soooo

#

might still be worth it for you to look around to see if you have any other options

potent portal
#

We had an awesome local ISP before but they got bought by "Consolidated Communications", which was as bad as the name sounds. Reliability and speed tanked.

brittle tinsel
#

have you used them? they offer fiber optic 940/940 in the area I am moving too. Is at&t any good?

potent portal
#

Fiber service is totally different lines from cable service

brittle tinsel
#

so google fiber is close but at&t doesnt offer fiber for you??

#

What do they charge there?

potent portal
#

Only options I have are Xfi or DSL, so t-mobile was a godsend

#

Their price here is $60 a month for the first year then $80 a month after

They have cheaper plans too but I would most likely go with there best as it’s cheaper than 1 let alone both of my lines at 50mbs

Does anyone know what’s the best fan config for an aio is push /pull

I currently have dsl but when we move we would have fiber, would the upload speed be more stable than dsl?

#

Why are those fans exhausting air

#

You front fans should be intake on most cases

humble rock
#

Sorry I flipped them

stoic island
#

Push pull barely helps on anything that's not crazy

#

Look at the ek-aio elite for example, it barely does any better than the original ek-aio

#

But if you have like 80mm thick 480mm rad, push pull might help

potent portal
humble rock
#

The rad was to thick to mount up top so I have 6 intakes and 4 exhaust

brittle tinsel
#

I have the back as intake, the front as intake and the AIO in the top with 3 fans as exhaust....

potent portal
#

With a back intake you'll be sucking in the air that the GPU is blowing out the back

brittle tinsel
#

my gpu blows upwards????

#

something aint right

potent portal
#

The fans on the GPU blow air into the GPU, and it blows out the sides so some of it goes out the back of the case

could anyone help me verify if a particular botherboard would be compatible with a CPU that i have?

i have a 9th gen i7 processor and want to see if this motherboard would be compatible with it

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157977

worn wave

No, you would need a Z390 motherboard

sterile shell
#

any z390 will do?

earnest olive
#

any b365 or z390 motherboard will be able to run a 9th gen CPU out of the box

#

h310, b360, z370 can run 9th gen cpus as well but may require bios updates

#

however, weaker/lower end motherboards (including some z370 and z390) will limit the full potential of some higher end chips

#

whether it's overclocking or just unlocking power limits and letting the stock boost algorithm do its thing

I have a question my girlfriend and I have a his and hers style pc setup. And I was wondering what the best way for discord chat would be . We are in the same discord with are friends but we get audio interference would it be better to put a boom mic in the corner and run off that instead of us both using our headsets to talk

Noise cancelling foam on the wall behind your PCs. You don't need to cover the whole wall, just a few square feet to stop most of the echo.

humble rock
#

Yeah I was thinking that it’s just we are so close and she come threw loud and clear on my mic and me on hers

#

I was thinking nvidia broadcast might drown it out

potent portal
#

Personally I use push to talk, but with you both being so close together maybe a boom mic isn't a terrible idea. It won't be the best audio quality but as long as your team can understand you both clearly shouldn't be a problem.
