another thing about wifi that you may need instead of just high LAN speeds is that wifi may allow you to use more devices if you only pay for one IP Address

Cuts out for me a lot for a second or two, otherwise really loud and really high audio quality. I agree.

Okay

eager bison Jan 11, 2021, 2:54 AM

#

could try to use a modem, but that would mean moving your homes one and only modem to here

#

use more than one modem, your ISP will block the MAC like, 99.998% of the time

#

so like always

#

lmao

echo parrot Jan 11, 2021, 2:55 AM

#

so the other way you could do it

#

is have an electrician change out the port into an ethernet port

eager bison Jan 11, 2021, 2:56 AM

#

i think you can transmit ethernet over coax somehow, someone out there has made something to do it

#

but it wouldnt be a cheap solution

zealous oracle Jan 11, 2021, 6:32 AM

eager bison use more than one modem, your ISP will block the MAC like, 99.998% of the time

that's because the mobo you mentioned isn't the mobo you're actually using

running an HDMI cable from laptop to desktop monitor is easy. Using a laptop display (running win 8 or above) is possible, but not as easy as just running a cable

My WiFi speed

so close to gigabit

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

What would you think is a decent wifi speed for like a family of 6

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

Well, WiFi speed doesn't matter

#

Your internet connection speed matters

#

Like, 20 MB DSL is going to be slow with 6 people no matter the WiFi speed

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

What’s the difference between those

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

ISP speed is how fast you connect to the internet

#

Changing WiFi speed won't change that

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

Is the isp speed like the upload and download or what you do you increase that

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

Yes, you have to pay your ISP more money for better download and upload speeds

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

What would you think a decent isp speed would be

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

The WiFi is just for internal network, like PC to PC, not PC to Internet

#

I mean, 150-200 mbps should be enough for 6 people to stream at once

#

Maybe even 100 depending on resolution

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

Oh ok I have 150/10 and I didn’t know if that wasn’t really enough for my entire family

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

that should be enough to download and watch videos, yes

#

But now that we know that,

#

The WiFi speed should match. It should be wireless N and everyone should be connecting on the 5 GHZ band and not 2.4 ghz

#

But that will depend on your modem/router

simple sierra Jan 21, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

What’s the benefit of upgrading beyond that then if 150 works just fine

void pawn Jan 21, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

Download programs faster

IE, 60 GB games etc

Well, with Onboard video the UHD 600 GPU uses System Ram as VRAM.

#

So, I'd guess the GPU was set to use 4GB of system ram

So, that leaves 4 GB for Windows and 4 GB for the graphics

replacing mouse switches, want to know what are good switches because whatever is in Corsair mice is absolute trash and I recommend to not buy Corsair mice (have had multiple samples now, m65 is def terrible, Scimitar is probably bad but also one sample size - very questionable given their other issues). It erks the heck out of me.

Anyways, need a 6mm x 6mm sqaure switch and 12.8mm x 5.8mm switch

#

as middle mouse button has been failing for some time now (square switch, 6 months usage - flipping mouse over and clicking rapidly for 3mins straight fixed it for a bit of time) and Lclick is starting to die (I think ~1.5yrs in)

#

actually looking at that, might just barely be in warranty. Hope it is, dont want to waste time replacing switches rn

my dad got like three m65 failures in a row

I know corsair product use to last one long hecking time going by my very old Corsair peripherals, but idk about their recent-ish products. Im really hoping I was just unlucky with a used buy, but I got a used k95 keeb and it was defective and upon looking it up a fair few people had the same issue (seller allegedly didnt know about the failure), basically was defective RGB LEDs/controller.

#

keeb was abt 2.5yrs old, idk how long was in use as seller said they didnt use it for a long time

@digital tide easiest way to be sure is find a ifixit teardown guide on your MacBook, and see what tools they use, and buy whatever you need

Then cheaper/better looking, quality wise ifixit is decent, nothing special but nothing horrible, so if the other thing is much cheaper, might as well.

The only real benefit to the Kobalt one is that it has more screwdrivers but a majority of them are ones that I already have or are really common

I might just go to walmart and get this since it is only 13 dollars even though the screw driver and all the tools are basically total crap and will break

high tdp 3070 still gets killed by high tdp 3080

So I’m trying to connect a router to my modem but my modem has no WAN port. It has 4 Ethernet ports. What should I do? Connect the router to one of the Ethernet ports or what?

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

What are you trying to do with the router? Add WiFi or ?

#

Just add more ethernet ports?

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 5:47 PM

void pawn What are you trying to do with the router? Add WiFi or ?

well my modem range is pretty weak and the internet connection its delivering is slow, so i want to connect a router and see if it improves range and speeds.

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

fringe urchin well my modem range is pretty weak and the internet connection its delivering is...

A router will not improve the speeds if the modem is slow.

#

Unless you're giong from Wireless G to Wireless N or something but your ISP controls final internet speeds

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

void pawn A router will not improve the speeds if the modem is slow.

so i should upgrade my modem?

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

IDK, what internet speed are you paying for?

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

void pawn IDK, what internet speed are you paying for?

spectrum

#

i think its 940mbps.

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Oh

#

Gigabit

#

You won't get that over WiFi no matter what you do

#

Only way to get Gigabit speeds is ethernet lol

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

void pawn Only way to get Gigabit speeds is ethernet lol

so this what was my plan, it was to connect a router to modem to extent range and then buy a WiFi extender with Ethernet ports. Connect the extender in my basement(my gaming room) and then connect ethernet cable to extender to pc.

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

Well, WiFi speed will always be slower than the ethernet

#

Plus the high speed WiFi extender is expensive. What router did you buy?

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

void pawn Plus the high speed WiFi extender is expensive. What router did you buy?

i haven't bought anything yet, i was thinking of getting a netgear router and then like a $45 extender

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

Well, TBH, at those prices, it won't be fast WiFi, need something with at least AC1600 if you want to get even close to Gigabit over WiFi

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

so you recommend getting a stronger modem? So no router?

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

I mmean, how far away from the modem will you be?

#

And through how many walls?

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

so the modem is at a room with a brick walls, and the gaming room is in the basement with is about 7 feet down, then it must go to my parents room as well, those walls are basic sheetrock walls.

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

OOF

#

Getting WiFi through brick isn't going to happen

#

You'd need to run an ethernet cable out of that room to a WiFi extender

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

I am planning to use ethernet for my ps5 and pc. Do recommend getting a stronger router and what else?

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

Well

#

Here's the thing

#

You said WiFi extender to PC VIA ethernet

#

That is not ethernet lol

#

That's still WiFI

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

ahh okay, so upgrade modem and then run Ethernet through the room all the way to the basement?

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

No need to upgrade modem lol

#

If your internet is Gigabit and the modem has Gigabit ports

#

And you need more ports, just get a gigabit switch if you can run ethernet everywhere

#

modem has 4 ports and you need 5? Just get a switch

#

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=gigabit+switch&qid=1612116672&sr=8-3

#

It's literally just a port expander

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

i am currently not using any of the ports of the modem. im just trying to improve my speeds. So i was wondering if improving my modem was going to help me get these speeds.

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

But will guarantee your full 980 mbps speeds

#

Your modem is in a brick room

#

Only way to improve WiFi speeds is to get it out of the brick room or put a WiFI extender outside the brick room if you want WiFi

#

If you connect a PC to the modem with ethernet directly, what does SPeedTest say?

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

for my pc and ps5 Im going to use Ehternet and for phones and tv im going to use wifi

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

Ok, the only way to fix that is to get a WiFi range extender out of the brick room

#

WiFi doesn't go through brick

fringe urchin Jan 31, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

idk, i havent connected my pc to the modem using ethernet. on wifi i get 29 megabits per second

void pawn Jan 31, 2021, 6:21 PM

sturdy jolt Jan 31, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

Yea, right now, the problem with building yourself is getting your hands on a current-gen card, that's why I only put a placeholder price on it

#

High demand, low supply, it's a sad situation right now

hollow thorn Jan 31, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

so what should i do

#

maybe a different one til it is available?

sturdy jolt Jan 31, 2021, 9:04 PM

#

These are the feasible option right now in my opinion:
A. Pray to whoever you believe in that you get a 3060ti in stock at a reasonable price somewhere, and once you have your hand on a card, buy the rest of the parts, which are more reasonable in terms of price and stock situation.
B. Buy a prebuilt, which should have the 3060ti ready for you, but the case might not look as nice as you'd like
C. If you have spare time, and the "getting a gaming PC" isn't that high of a priority, you could follow plan A, sit around and watch prices for a while, but if you can't get your hands on a card after a few weeks, you can default to plan B.
D. Plan B, except you can spend another ~250$ for a new case (Cougar Conquer), and transfer things over from the prebuilt into the new case, but it's an annoying process, you might run into issues, and such.

On the 'get a different placeholder gpu until you can get a 3060ti' bit, that's a very popular option, so now the prices for the usually lower end and cheaper placeholder cards are sky high, even higher than 3060ti msrp, and stock situation is also abysmal.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

My criticism of that shopping cart though:
The whole thing looks a year or maybe two out of date, for example, that RX580 is worth more like 160$ nowadays, it's quite a low end card by today's standard, and it was released something like 5 years ago.

System Builder

hollow thorn Jan 31, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

ok so go with the prebuilt and then the conquerer?

sturdy jolt Jan 31, 2021, 9:22 PM

My advice is to get the prebuilt first, wait until it arrives so you can make sure everything works and all, and then buy the case.

hollow thorn Jan 31, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

and it will come with the card? then wait til i can get new one

sturdy jolt Jan 31, 2021, 9:23 PM

Yea, the prebuilt comes with everything, including a 3060ti.
(But yes, in the end, those two together should be good, but I should warn you, you should get comfortable with the manual of the Conquer, since it's a unique case, and you should do enough research to know what you're doing when building. We can help you with installation, but it'll be better for you if you knew)
