>>103296860Agreed anon, ridiculous and unfounded FUD. 4000D airflow is literally the standard and has been for half a decade, it's unimpeachable.
>>103296860Nothing wrong with Silent cases either. They are designed to be silent, which obviously means slightly less airflow. You don't need a full mesh panel for every setup.
>still waiting for 5090 and 9950x3D
How bad is the b650e Steel Legend? Someone was saying before it was worse than the b650 Steel Legend but I can actually find this one locally. Can also find the b650e Taichi locally but I don't know if I need to spend $270 on a mobo
>>103296934For me it's 5080 and 9800x3d. I bought a 4k oled monitor though in anticipation.
so eventually FSR4 is going to be available for 7000 series GPUs as well right? the hardware is already ready and they're waiting for 8000 series before releasing it so it can be available to both 7000 and 8000 series without making people with older GPUs feel too bad if they released it now to 7000 only instead of 6000? Is that how it works?
>>103296860Too small
>>103296860Avoid "fishtanks" and glass panels in general. Avoid Corsair 4000D Dustflow.
>Bought ASUS PG32UCDM Friday about at midnight>At the time Amazon said it would arrive Tuesday>Now the page says December 6 - January 11, "usually ships within one to two months">My orders page still says arriving Tuesday>But it hasn't shipped yetI'm scared they're gonna say "oopsie this isn't actually coming for a month haha". They've already charged my credit card
>>103296996Ordering at this time of the year comes with such additional risks.
>>103296823Placed an order at a local place for a 4070 Super. Apparently they're out of stock but I was offered a 4070TI for the price of a Super. Is this a good deal?
>>103296990I was looking at the A3 and AP201 review vids and there's barely any difference between having the mesh panel vs glass panel since the airflow is mostly from bottom intake to top exhaust anywaysFor ITX cases it's a different story, glass panel vs mesh panel on NR200 is a big difference thermally. I'm guessing since there's no extra space horizontally for air to flow through more freely so it's relying more on the mesh
>>103297016I’d slap you if I could
>>103296970Pretty much
>>103296955how is it? what brightness and does it feel bright?
>>103296955you're like me
>>103297033I guess due to the introduction of the Super and Ti Super line of cards, the store owner still had a couple in his storage that he wasn't planning to sell but I struck up a good conversation with him and he offered it at Super pricing. Also sorry the last time I bought a gpu was the 1080 TI back in 2018
>>103296987Fits a fullsize ATX mobo and a 4080 Super. Sure it's too small?
How come PCIE 5.0 drives fail to overtake old 4.0 drives in random read/write? https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/benchmarks/#sort=-randread50&page=1
>>103297091>60w cpu with aio>600w gpu aircooled with 2kg metal hanging freely in the case unless you use a 3rd party supportmake it make sense
>>103297091You can't even do 360 aio in front so yeah small
Are there any good mobos on sale for early black friday for a 9800x3d?
>>103297099It started with an 8700K/Z370 I had laying around. I overclocked it to 5ghz and it needed the AIO. It had my old 3080 ti. The 4080 Super was from my 13700K which I dry docked because it's a 13700K. And the 5700x3d/B500 was an upgrade from the 8700K setup.
>>103296860where's the second usb-a port anon? they wouldn't just cut off one of them, right?
>>103297117B550*
is corsair vengeance bad
>>103297098because neither of them are bottlenecked by the interface speed for random r/w
man as soon as I decided to get OLED now I'm torn between the choices in my price rangeWas planning to get the flat Alienware 1440p 240hz OLED for like ~CAD$750then I see this in the same price range tooAnd I'm still thinking about OLED 4K too just for watching 4K movies, would love to see how LOTR trilogy or Bladerunner would look on it CAD$807 is like US$570
is a 4090 enough to run Shadow Man?
>>103297141just go 4k qd-oled at these prices, everything else looks like a low-res mess, especially when 3440x1440 is stretched across 34": it looks awful.
>>103297123>Usb 3.0 header is supposed to have 2 portsWait are case manufacturers intentionally cutting one out?
>>103297141*the Alienware 1440p 360hz i meanI don't really need 360hz vs 240hz since i dont think a 7700x+7900xtx is going to get anywhere close to 360hz never mind 240hzalso tempted for the MSI 4K OLED 160hz for ~CAD$900
>>103297123There's 7 USB-A ports on the IO panel. I'm good.
>>103297099I've been saying for a while that GPUs will need to come with an aio pre installed as CPUs don't really need them nowadays.
>>103297159really makes you think
>>103297136I have it in DDR4 and DDR5, it's been fine. But, Corsair doesn't make their ram, so who know what's underneath all of them.
>>103297150>just go 4k qd-oled at these prices,it's in CADthe cheapest 4K QD-OLED we can get for now is this, approx US$680I am definitely tempted, i can at least downscale to 1080p 160hz if it's a newer game, or just use my secondary monitor that's not OLED (1440p 144hz).Maybe questionable on downscaling to 1080p on a 32 inch but it might still work out if my viewing distance would be slightly farther anyways?yeah but you're right, I'm definitely leaning towards the 4K now if only for movies since I won't have space for an OLED TV yet (i am still living with housemates becoz canada real estate is garbage and i dont want to settle for a shitty 1 bedroom condo)
>>103297185Funny thing is my case has a c type port but my mobo doesn't have a 3.2 gen 2 header so I have a useless c port kek
>>103297192I have been using 4K for 9 years, I can assure you anon, it's time. You will love it. It was really impactful for me for movies even before OLED and you get the best of games, even with upscaling.
>>103297197I did a 5600X build recently and the mobo didn't have USB-C. I snagged this:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GKLN7RTIt works fine. Just make sure you install the drivers. It came with a CD and I had a cheap-ass Dell USB DVD drive and used that. Probably online, too.
>>103297107Yes but all the good ones are sold out kek. Dire state of affairs
How big should a mouse pad and a table be?I'm really used to small pads like this. I'm using stock windows mouse settings, so I can drag mouse across desktop for around 6-7 centimeters of movement.
>>103297207yes i've always wanted 4K, thats why I bought a 7900XTXI guess it'll be easier to play 1080p on it vs 1440p for the shitty unoptimized games, hoping FSR4 will solve that at least since I do want to play Monster Hunter Wild in 4K not 1080p
>wanna buy cheap oled from amazon US store that is shipping for free to my country>forgot that we use 240vah fuck
blows my mind people are spending $1000 on single monitors when shit like a G274QPF-QD ($205) or G2724D ($150) exist. theres no way oled is actually worth the premium.
>>103297246People don't want budget crap screens anymore, and if they do they arent bragging about it, they're not interesting.
>>103297197
>>103297257but what are people doing with these monitors that justifies their prices? i sincerely doubt that anyone here is doing work that requires excellent color calibration or benefits from obscene refresh rates. where is the value behind the cost?
fuck upscaling and fuck frame genthis shit exists for devs to be even shittier>2030>upscaling and/or frame gen is mandatory to reach 60 fps on 4kthanks, chatgpt devs
baguette here I've already purchased RAM, SSD and a ryzen 5 9600x on aliexpress (7600 was more expensive and 7500f was out of stock). Currently waiting for a good sale in the following week for a GPUThis is for 1440p gaming btwI have a few questions:Is a 7900XT overkill? is the Montech good enough, and should I add a fan on the top of the case as exhaust?also any recommendations on the motherboard? B650 Steel Legend is either out of stock or 30 euros more than it should be, and X870 are over 250 eurosthanks in advance
>>103297269general media consumption looks better on an OLED screen compared to other displays, it's night and day difference
>>103297269people want the best, you obviously need a GPU of equal or higher value to get the best out of it. High-end buyers. That's it. The same people buying the other halo products, what is so hard for you to get about that? It also happens to look a lot fucking better with no light bleed and instant response times, there's the value, if you aren't sensitive to that, enjoy the savings!
>>103297245just plug it in one hole
>>103297273just go play old games retard
>>103297269Because watching anything on OLED is miles better? It's pretty simple thing
>>103297285in 2030 I'll be still playing skyrim and fallout 4 with sex mods BECAUSE of shitty devsthat's why we can't have nice things anymore
>>103297246i have two 27" lcd 1440p 144hz as my pc set upi went in-store to check out the OLED monitors/TVs in real life, i am fucking sold i dont care if it only lasts for 4-5 years because that's how long I've been keeping even LCD screens before I replace themI want to watch Bladerunner, both of them, in OLED man i already know it'd be amazing
>>103297246>>103297300Do you see anon? people with money want a screen that matches the experience they expect, the experience their TV and phones have given them for nearly a decade. It's not rocket science.
>>103297273It's 2024 and most games being released already require dlss/fsr to get to 60fps on every single resolution.
i just realized I'd love to have a PC with a bluray disc driveI could get a bluray USB drive but it isnt as sovlfulguess I'll just pirate the 4K movies instead
>>103297246$800 for one of the 360hz QD-OLEDs, media consumption is just so much better on oled and it's not even close.
>>103297308Fractal pop air has room for a Blu-ray player
>>103297185Do Corsair cucks rewlly
>>103297316MSI's 1440 360hz QD-OLED has gotten as low as $579. It's that low on Amazon US right now.
With GPU air cooling, is CPU AIO placement at front or top preferable?
Is there any tangible benefit to x670 or x870 or just a waste of money?
>>103297334I bought it when it was like $799, shit was a no brainer for me.
>>103297230Big enough to be comfortable I guess? That's really up to personal preference.I got one of those Arozzi gaymin desks and I'm really happy with it. The whole surface is a mouse pad and there's plenty of space.
>>103297340You always want the aio on top of you have room
>>103297192That's good, get it. Resolution and size are perfect. Dunno about that burn in though.
>>103297344I'm wondering the same thing: >>103297277guess the main difference is PCIE 5, but I'm as clueless as you anon
>>103297277Wow I didn't expect to see zen5 crashing below zen4 prices this year
Running out of space on my hy**us partition, but also don't have any more NVMe slots.Is that kind of downloads+database load too much for QLC to handle?8TB TLC NVMe cost way too much in my area so I'm picking between $400 8TB QVO or some $250 4TB TLC SATA.
>>103297361Got lucky with a sale on aliexpress
>>103297277>also any recommendations on the motherboard?If you don't want to pay the 30 eur extra the msi board is fine, or gigabyte aorus elite ax v2. msi board used to have comparatively slow boot times but I believe it has been fixed in bios updates. Steel legend is "THE" b650 board though which is why it's sold out everywhere. You could also consider b650e riptide if that's available
>>103297348yea it's been a good deal for most of its life considering how much 360hz monitors used to cost.>>103297361It is technically cheaper to make so it should be cheaper, and it has had a glut of oversupply due to a shit launch.
>>103297316yeah, I kinda understand not getting OLED years ago when it was $1500-$2000+ but I think it's reasonable now and paying a $500 premium to get it sooner now is basically how I see itsure it might be <$500 in a year or so when it becomes more widespread but that's a whole year, possibly longer, that im sticking with LCD
>>103296990Why avoid fishtanks? I was think of getting the h6 flow
>>103294087Steel Legend, Pro RS sucks.
>>103297417just check reviews for thermals, pic related for AP201 + A3. For the A3 there's barely any difference between the tempered glass vs mesh panelalso interesting note, bottom fans are useless sometimes, particularly for smaller cases when the GPU is already so close to the bottom mesh
>>103297378B650e riptide is way more expensive than the steel legend. I can always try to get the steel legend on a sale. By sale I mean sometimes it goes to its normal price. For reference, current prices are 187 euros for the tomahawk, 230 for the steel legend (sometimes 200 on a very good sale), and 260 for the riptide. I really liked the Taichi lite looks but it costs 300 and that would just be silly lol Another question, should I wait for the next gen or is getting a gpu on black friday good enough?
>>103297417Usually due to crappier thermals, but if you're buying one just make sure to have good cooling for your parts. Usually you want an aio and at least 2 140s feeding the GPU from the bottom.
What cooler would you guys recommend pairing with a 9800x3d?I got a peerless assassin with my new PC but my CPU has been running hot
>>103297463>CPU has been running hotDefine hot
Looking for 1440p 27" VA displays, preferably not curved, what are anons' thoughts on the Samsung Odyssey G51C? I don't play many fast paced games, I care more about contrast ratio and good picture quality. OLED is out of my budget.
>>103297207I'm on 32" 4k since 2017. Acer Predator. It's the perfect size, aspect ratio and resolution. I will forever stay with it, only a higher refresh version is about to come on my desk.
>>103297359Yeah I can't find any reason. PCIE 5 doesn't seem it will be relevant this decade, and a few more lanes I won't use and slightly better I/O aren't worth spending 2-3x. There seems to be less distinction between chipsets than the last time I built.
>>103297417I did a 1080p build for a friend in an Okinos Aqua 7 fish tank. It's fine. AMD 5600x, GTX 1080. It comes with 6 fans and the thermals were great. Neither CPU or GPU exceeded 70° in stress tests and usually ran a lot cooler.
MSI MAG 321UP is literally the perfect 32-inch 4K OLED monitor right now for me165hz is enough I don't fucking need 240hz I don't think I'd ever reach 240 fps on most games I play even with my 4090 and I don't ever need a KVM switchWish there were more 165hz options at 4k 32-inch QD-OLED. heck even a 144hz would be fine... I hate this higher refresh rate meme upsell.
>>103297230That looks like a prison cell. I would get depressive there. I always need a large window behind my display so my eyes can "touch grass" once in a while.
>>103297512I started with a 21" 4K iMac that was 4096x2160 (4K DCI) in late 2015 and is now up to 32" UHD QD-OLED, so a good bit less sharp, but much higher quality. I would like hi-refresh 6K or 8K to be an option. I would still play at 4K though.
>>103297463i bought pic related for my 7700X, i presume the 9800X3D is prob similar heat (basically not really hot)imo if it doesnt need a huge tower cooler dont bother, those things will annoyingly sag a bit, ive done it before on midrange CPUs that arent hot in the first place and it's really unnecessary since the bulk imeding the airflow can affect GPU temps too which is usually the hotter one to deal with for gaming builds lopsided towards GPU
>>103297273Re engine and ue5 are the biggest mistakes ever
>>103297539are you copying me since i just posted it or have you been thinking about it for awhile toocan u share ur insights on it if so?I also dont need 240hz, but I'm still worried if 165hz might mean there's other things with the model that were cut downHard to find decent reviews on this model compared to others
also might as well wait 5 more days for BF/CM in case there are better deals on OLEDi hope the MSI one goes down another -10%
>>103297230>mouse padHaven't used one since forever.>tableAs big as room allows.My current is a custom 2400x800x25mm particle board on ikea meme drawers.
PTM 7950 is so cool
>>103297579I've been thinking it for a while really. Now it's at $700 in amazon now, I really wish there were more options for 165hz range. >Hard to find decent reviews on this model compared to othersBecause it's newer than the 240hz models I think. Very tempting right now I don't really need 240hz on 4k monitors. Though I wonder the difference between 240hz and 165hz, how much does that really cost the manufacturer. I don't really understand how monitor manufacturing works... in CPUs I understand yields and binning.
>>103297349> ArozziDo they deliver to Portugal? I'm currently using a 170x90cm glass tabletop but it's a tad too deep.160x82cm seems perfect.
>>103297533pretty much this, guess I'll stick with the Tomahawk if I don't find the Steel Legend on a sale
yes you're right i see that now, 321UP is the same generation 3 as all the new panels this year, so all it's just 165hz vs 240/340hz the other models haveI'll get 240/340 whatever the fk later on after 5 years when i gotta replace this. I'll still wait for Black Friday though just in case
>>103297662>>103297533The Tomahawk is a good board. If your place has a long return policy due to holiday you could just grab that and switch if the Steel Legend goes on a sale. But honestly, you'll be happy either way I think.
>>103297656I just found the info:> Portugal 4 – 5 Business Days UPSOkay, I will get the motorized version for christmas if in stock.
i want to pull the trigger so bad brosconvince me not to please
>>103297656Yeah looks like it. I got mine from a local site rather than the official one because import taxes and international shipping suck ass.
>>103297732is the Enthoo Pro worth using these days
>>103297067hasn't arrived yet
>>103297727>convince me not to pleaseI'll call you gay if you do it
>>103297727the pixel density at 27/1440 is shit. Go 32/4k. The cheapest MSI 4k monitor is only $665. High refresh rate is a meme, more pixels is better.
>>103297727i get that 1440p is prob the best even a 7900XTX or 4090 can do with newer shitty games, but what games are you actually play?4K 32" is going to be on a bigger screen AND have higher DPI, plus it'd be the native resolution for watching 4K movies especially since it's OLEDafter watching the mediocre amazon LOTR series i really need to rewatch the LOTR trilogy in OLED this time
>>103297605I still don't understand what a thermal cycle is. Like, is there a specific temp you need to raise your CPU/GPU to and then bring it down to ambient or/shut off your computer to let it cool again? I can't find any information on this other than people saying it takes like 50 cycles for it to reach optimum performance but never say what the fuck a cycle is precisely and how to make sure you've actually caused it do what to it's supposed to count as a cycle.
>>103297539Ordered it yesterday. Not even a 4090 can hit above 165 fps at 4k so no point buying something more expensive. All the qd-oled panels are the same.
>>103297802when is it arriving for you?
>>103297802That's just pure buillshit, I did the math before 4090 came out and knew it would be able to hit 4K 165 in my competitive games, Hunt Shodown primarily, and it did. I had the Neo G7 4K 165. Then I got QD-OLED 240HZ and 9800X3D and the 4090 is hitting 240hz in that too. 170hz in RDR2, all 4K, so eat shit, you don't know because you haven't tried it and shouldn't be providing any advice on the matter. The 4090 is quite CPU limited and has been for most of its life, and still is with the 9800X3D,
>>103297783> watching 4K moviesWho watches movies? Are you a normie?
>>103297790>the material sees at least 15c above its transition temperature of 45c for at least 30 mins. you could also do 100c for 10 mins.either condition should count as a thermal cycle by letting it heat up to that amount and then cool to room temp.ptm7950 should just work after its first phase change but it gets better after 500-1000 cycles because it reformulates itself each time.
Temps on my 9800x3d are going nuts, can spike up to 94c. Do I just need something 'better' than a peerless assassin to cool this thing or what? No overclocking or anything either.
>>103297539165Hz already is higher refresh rate in my significant opinion.
>>103297843Do you have PMO on?
>>103297727just buy the goyled why dont you
>>103297843you need to blow on it
>>103297827> The 4090 is quite CPU limited and has been for most of its life, and still is with the 9800X3DIf this is the case then it makes no sense to get even a 5090.
>>103297872you can brute force still and there are plenty of GPU-limited scenarios at 4K still, but yes it does have me reconsider it when I was just able to unlock 30% more performance with a CPU upgrade at 4K. not normal.
>>1032978725090 is the only non-cucked card of the 5000 series. The rest are refreshes of the 4000 series. Literally and unironically don't buy them.
>>103297843>The next-gen Ryzen 7000 processors are engineered to run at 95°C, day in and day out, throughout their life cycle. AMD claims that all the quality analysis for the Zen 4 desktop chips was done at 95 degrees Celsius. In fact, this is the same design target the chipmaker has had for several older Ryzen families.TSMC chips can handle up to 110C btw. AMD GPUs throttle at that 110C. Their CPUs at 95C because consumers like you think anything more is too hot.
>>103297840There has to be a way to automate this.
>>103297843Deinstall the cooler, clean and reapply evenly decent thermal paste not toothpaste and reinstall your cooler properly. Adjust the fancurve in your BIOS or Mobo app. Rub hands.
>>103297891> Their CPUs at 95Cat 85°C
>>103297865set to auto in BIOS
>>103297907Not anymore. They bumped it to 95.
>>103297882So you're saying to buy cheap used 4000 series when retards sell to buy new product right?
man i camt wait to have my 7700x + 7900xtx build readyim legitimately freezing in my room right now, im renting the top half of the house but i dont think the walls have insulation so the heater cant keep up and im freezing while the rest of the house is finei fucking need my pc that doubles as a space heater in winter now, then in summer i have to get a long enough display/hdmi cable to leave the pc tower out my room while the monitor and everything else is in my room
>>103297915Yes. Just make sure you aren't buying from a "like new power washer.
>>103297576but anon, look at the graphics! the visual fidelity! it's just like real life!
>>103297907>>103297914You can customize the thermal limit in the BIOS. Depending on your motherboard the limit is either AMD default 95C or pussy 85C.
>>103297882wait isnt AMD doing the same thing and only having up to 8800XT, why did they both collude to just have a refresh generation wtfeven with their CPUs, the 9700x is practically the same to the 7700x, sometimes the 7700x is better somehow too
>>103297920Got it. Looking at picking up either a 4070 Super or 4070 ti Super. I could buy at current prices but that seems like a mistake when 5000 is so soon
>>103297916How can 600Watts heat a room in winter? How small can your room be?
>>103297895you can do this just playing a game or something. play bg3 for 30 mins, alt tab or pause for 5 mins, resume, repeat.
So my 4080S has a pigtail with it with 3x PCIe connections but the HX1000i only came with 2 PCIe cables, is that enough for now without causing issues?
Any good deals on ddr4 RAM right now? Looking for 2x16 GB
>>103297936Big enough to have a desk and double bed but not much else to be fair, but the window is big (fortunately north facing so no direct sunlight)the central heating is still running but my room would be like 16 celsius while the rest of the house is 20 celsiusyes a 600w space heater would absolutely help make it more comfortable so i dont have to wear a sweater inside my room
>>103297973it's like $50 now even without a promo, just dont eat out for a bit
>>103297782why are these people so sociopathiclike people actually want to click "play game" and not have to think about buying a 2k € gpu when they first move the camera ingame
>>103297973Just sort by price on PC Part Picker and Google Shopping. It's pretty rare for something to be missing from both of those. And RAM modules are all made by the same 3 companies so it's one of the parts that you can cheap out on as long as it seems to have good ratings.
>>103297980>16 celsius That's comfy tier unless you're a woman and start freezing when it's under 30 celsius
>>103297782Wrong on all accounts. Consider seeing an optometrist.
>>103297987Perhaps, but then the problem is trying to find the best one>>103297999As far as I know the all manufacturer and model does matter, the problem is reliably telling what a given ram uses, it seems most models end up using different die for the same sku
>>10329798060 is pretty comfy, desu. And I say this as so someone who lives in the South. Just throw on a long sleeve shirt, some sweatpants, and socks. Your body heat is probably escaping through your feet even if they don't feel any colder than the rest of your body. Hands too, but you can't do much about that.
>>103298001thats what it is right now already, it wil get worse when it's actually negative outside
>>103297472Innocn 27G1S, but it's mostly out of stock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLS2KJUHNeoAOC miniLED with VA panel is your next option (Q27G3XMN), discounted in the US ($250).https://www.amazon.com/AOC-Q27G3XMN-Adaptive-Sync-DisplayHDR-Zero-Bright-dot/dp/B0C8ZJKPWChttps://youtu.be/1FF42JtnDUI?t=97
>>103298018yeah thats honestly it, i did start wearing my comfy thick winter socks for around the house
>>103298022in euroland the aoc va miniled is so expensive people just buy OLED with current prices
>>103298020Put on a good pair of socks and get comfy under a blanket. I fuckin love this time of year desu.
Here is my current computer:>Intel i9 10900f>RTX 3070>Asus TUF Z490-Plus Motherboard>32gb RAMI'm thinking of getting perhaps a 5080 whenever it launches. My question is,>Will I want to update my CPU?>If I do, will I need to get a new motherboard and basically build an entire new computer?>Should I consider doing that anyway even if it's not strictly necessary?
oled yes/no?
>>103298042Come back Tuesday evening when I upgrade from a TN to an OLED and I will let you know.
>>103297947>HX1000iBuy Corsair's official 90° 12V-2x6 cable that's compatible with your PSU.Read the guides carefully, and choose the right type of 90° connection for your video card & desired cable orientation.https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920348/corsair-type-4-psu-90-12v-2x6-style-b-cable-cp-8920348#tab-guideshttps://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/what-is-the-difference-between-corsair-type-4-and-type-5-cables/https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/corsair-12v-2x6-90-degree-angled-gpu-power-cable/
>>103298037Oh man I should've mentioned, I am getting a 240hz 4K monitor so I'm trying to push framerate as far as I can.
>>103297990What are consoles for?
>>103298067idk, playing games for low initial investment that parents can buy for kids so they dont use a pc for porn?
Is this a useful / decently accurate website for comparing?https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare
>>103298042If you're in the US, there are some good deals for monitors.I bought the discounted MSI 1440p QD-OLED (240Hz, don't need more).
>>103298057The answer is yes to all your questions
>>103297980> 16 celsiusOkay, I admit this is rather uncomfy. And high air humidity as well I guess. If you don't have to pay your power bills you can have your PC mine bitcoins 24/7.
Thoughts on this for my first OLED? It's going to be for a 9800x3d and 5080/90 build.
I need a board ASAP, is this ok for 100 eurobucks?
>>103298018Sixteen! And not sweet little but Celsius! This is uncomfy af. The minimum acceptable is 19°C with dry air. And I currently live in South Portugal.
>>103298104It's not bad, it's probably functionally similar to the Tomahawk.
>>103298073Even that isn't safe. I remember getting a PS3 and noticed it had a built-in web browser. Where there is a will, there is a wank.
are oled monitors actually good now? or is it better to wait 5 more years
>>103298073It's for> click "play game" and not have to think about buying a 2k € gpu when they first move the camera ingamethat is
>>103298115Yeah, and I live in fuckin' Florida where this is approximately two months out of every year where you can go outside and not be hit with at least 80-90 degree weather (often higher) and 80-100% humidity with fuckin' wet bulb warnings all the time.
>>103298115I feel bad for you. you'll never know how comfy it is to sit next to a radiator when outside is -20 C
>>103298102I ended up going with a PG32UCDM, yours was second or third place basically just because it doesn't have Dolby Vision. If that's not meaningful to you, then this one should be about as good as monitors get right now, and it's a couple hundred cheaper than the others in its bracket on sale.
>>103298123>a PS3 and noticed it had a built-in web browser.Great! I have to check my son's console now. Thank you.
Which aio?For cpu, mounted on top, set of 3 120 fans in exhaust/push?Arctic Freezer III 360, non-rgbLian Li GA II 360 Performance
>>103298129You still have to wait® for OLED panels with true RGB subpixel layout, there are other improvements like more monitors supporting DisplayPort 2.1 in the future.https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/oled-news-and-rumours-round-up-for-2025The prices of existing OLED monitors have dropped enough for more people like me to buy into it.About 2~3 years ago you had to pay $500 for a relatively high-end 27" 1440P IPS monitor with backlight bleeding and shitty contrasts.You still have to pay around that much, or more, for a high-end 360Hz IPS monitor.
>>103298152I know it just too well because I lived in Germany for 50 years and I go there every now and then to see my relatives, do business etc. It's terrible and makes be sick, depressive, weary of life.
why does everyone get black cases instead of white? the whites cases are even cheaper?I have a black gpu, which will go better?
>>103298163> Arctic Freezer III 360, non-rgbPerfect choice!
Can a bad CPU damage a motherboard? I know it's possible the other way around.
>>103298191> You still have to wait® for OLED panels with true RGB subpixel layoutUntil CES 2025?
>>103298154>>103298102So I misread and I was referring to the MSI MPG 321URX, which is about $80 more than the model you are looking at.It's hard to find the difference between these online, but based on reviews the MAG does not receive firmware update support, but the MPG does.
