How does hardware unboxed test the USB ports in the reviews? I'd like to do it myself to see the speeds.

Thanks to the Anon that replied in the other thread, I narrowed down my conundrum to three options:

b) I buy TWO premium 2x48GB@6000MHz kits - Corsair Vengeance 2 x 48 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 - for £600-£638 (£319 each for the XMP variants or £300 apiece if I preorder the EXPO variants).

Do AM4 X3D chips get the same boost from 3600mhz RAM as non-X3D?
Thinking about upgrading from 16GB to 32GB (currently have 3200/CL16) but dunno whether I should "waste" more money on 3600/16/18 or just stick with 3200/16 if only for better compatibility out of the box. I'm not a total tech retard so I can try tweaking timings and whatever if it doesn't work but I'd rather go the plug-n-play enable XMP it just werks approach.

>>103282767
It's one of those needs vs wants thing. I don't 'need' more than 128GB, but if I have it - I will use it.

>>103282802
OCCT should give balanced coverage.
y-Cruncher has good stress tests, VT3 for stressing the CPU's memory controller.
Prime95 SmallFFT puts a torture load on the CPU, don't run this unless you've set safe power/current limits.
Memtest86+ to see if there's a problem with your memory sticks, don't enable XMP/EXPO.
There are paid tests like Karhu for memory testing.
Unigine Superposition 8K, 3DMark Speed Way and Steel Nomad to test the GPU. Especially if you're OC or undervolting it.

The memory-related ones aren't needed unless your PC has instabilities or you're manually tuning the system memory.
OCCT and Memtest86+ should be enough to check whether you got a faulty component.

If you have good internet try Nvidia's cloud gaming thing, really saved me from making a dumb purchase when my GPU was being serviced.

>>103282790
No, scaling is much lower because so many data fetches don't even leave the cache. However, I would definitely get 3600C18 as a minimum because there's no real price difference. Going up to 3600C16 is around $20 now which is hard to justify on a DDR4 system.
It does have one advantage in binning though - if you've got a borderline motherboard, say a B350 or cheap B450, then getting 3600C16* means you're not as subject to the DRAM lottery because only a few ICs can hit that speed reliably. Might be the difference between stability and not.

*By which I mean 3600-16-19-19 @ 1.35V. CAS latency scales with voltage so beware "trap" kits with eg. 16-22-22@1.5V. Those are bad bins.

Need to get a new PC for work and want to know if I should just pull the trigger now or wait into next week for better deals. Never get anything tech for black Friday for years so no idea how the game works now. In Canada if that helps.

The 3090Ti fixed things but they're generally much more expensive - often the same price as a new 4070TiS so only bother if you absolutely need >16GB.

>>103283273
Weren't the angled 12V haram? Are they good now?

>>103283278
I am aware they are, but the issue is that they will probably price these cards (I haven't looked to see if they have mentioned an MSRP) at about the same level as AMD. Except AMD is going to be releasing new cards soonish, and presumably stick near the same price point as the current generation. Meaning that it makes no sense to buy these cards unless you specifically want something outdated and overpriced compared to the competitors on a per dollar basis. If Intel is always playing catch up, they will never be able to carve out a part of the market for themselves for dedicated GPUs. That's my criticism. Whatever their plans are for what comes after this is going to require them to leapfrog into the next generation so they aren't always behind. It's going to have to happen at some point or no one will ever even consider them as a valid third-option.

You're right about AMD always being behind, but AMD has always been in the ballpark and priced themselves accordingly. And right now we're talking about Intel. Y'know, the company at risk of having to file for Chapter 11. They won't, but the mismanagement is there... Could they pivot hard into GPUs? Perhaps. There is a good argument to be made that it's a much healthier sector than CPUs, but it's going to be a while before I think we see them capable of doing something materially different that makes them worth putting your money into.

and? people still buy nvidia over amd regardless what the price is at every single tier 1060 2060 3060 4060, etc., nvidia's top end gpu sold more than the entire radeon lineup. so how the hell do you say amd is priced accordingly when they don't even sell? intel will never go bankrupt because they are essential to the US government, especially for department of defense, also stop moving the goal posts.

>>103283471

PCIe 5.0 is fully backwards compatible with previous generations of PCIe slots. This means you can use PCIe 5.0 hardware in PCIe 4.0, 3.0, or even 2.0 slots. However, the device will operate at the speed of the oldest slot, so a PCIe 5.0 device in a PCIe 4.0 slot will run at PCIe 4.0 speeds.

>>103283657
Gamers nexus benched x16 3.0 vs x16 4.0 on the 4090 and there was less than a 3% difference between the 2. Since gen 3 is ½ of gen 4, 8 lanes of gen 4 is basically equivalent to 16 lanes of gen 3.

They all say the same thing. If they need to, they'll make it. If they don't, they won't.

and 27 4k you gonna be at 160ppi, either you have lazervision or you will be losing alot of real estate just for pixelpeeping and scaling, in which case you could have gotten a larger one for more usable things all around

Only the angled adapters had issues (adapter that you plug an existing 12vhpwr cable in and it you get a 90 degree 12vhpwr as the output)
Actual cables terminated with a 90 degree plug where never an issue. Even from cablemod.
IDK why this detail is missed.

I have a moddiy cable, seems to work just fine although I only have a 4080, little expensive at $35 for 24" cable and it took 2 weeks to get here with the $10 shipping. I pick the silicone wiring and it makes me want all my PSU cables in silicone

this is also because 99% of the lcds are matte slop and you can just see that hazy shit and lets say all the oled laptops are glossy, you instantly see the contrast and saturation and glossy, all of which is improved by the glossy finish and oled itself, so yes, you have to be retarded not to, even 4k on a tiny laptop screen looks crispier and better compared to something lower res

>do they just set up the brightness really high for OLED screens vs LCD or are they just really vibrant
literally configure it yourself, I will say some tvs with a decent finish and miniled look good too and have lots of brightness, but yeah

>I'm pretty much sold even if it will only last 3 years
>you only get 3 years in your life maybe 20 times
I'm just bored of lcd and boring tech at this point, for me to build new shit I want some new tech to be exited about and try, and this is it
it's cheap enough to not cope forever for even if you are remotely poor, and in other cases literally just earn more money

the final decision is pretty much only if im gonna pick up a c4 42 or a 32 qdoled, would have considered even samsung but s90d's in europe are woleds and not qdoleds so smallest size is 65 and fuck that right now

There's no hardware RT in any of those benchmarks. Here's some with hardware RT, and of course since Radeon has only garbage reconstruction available to it, of course Geforce is more like 4x as fast. And keep in mind these are the 'good' RT implementations according to AMDumboxed

Not as good as DLSS, and of course there's often a substantial performance penalty on Radeon. XeSS is also the least dev implemented and most dev botched of the the three algos (unfortunately).

Hey can I get some advice on how to repair an external hard-drive?

The case melted slightly, but I think the problem is just the thing connecting the case to the wire (I don't know any of the technical names for this). So I think everything to do with all the microchips inside the thing is fine, if I can just replace the connector I could access all the data on it, and put it onto something else.

Took it to a couple of phone-repair guys who didn't know what they were looking at, I was referred to a data-recovery center that's based in California whose starting bid was $700.

I feel like all I really need to do is find a guy who can like swap out the connector part, or just like access the microchips in the hard-drive, and I could get it done for like $200. Where would I go to try to get this done or looked at?

>>103284193
My brother in Christ, if it's an external hard drive just take out of the housing and connect it directly to your computer via a SATA cable. Or if you can't be bothered to do that, buy a new housing. Or if you take it out and shit's melted then, lol, lmao. Extra lol lmao if you are referring to a SATA SSD.

>>103284107
the absolute cheapest 1440p240hz oled right here is 520€ and I can get a c4 42" for 720€ the difference is not big, with some coupons
4k has been accessible since the lg cx days, lg b series 55" went for 700€ long ago
now running it in 120hz 4k native is another thing
the aoc 27 1440p240hz qdoled is by far the cheapest here atleast

>>103284260
just use the first slot
not a clue desu, I assume gpus are the main bottleneck

>>103284230
Yeah, assume the only acronym I know is USB. I'm posting on here because I DON'T know what it is I'm looking at.

Anyway the first phone-repair guy took it out of the casing, and plugged in some USB cables and didn't work, so it's not just the cable, like I said I think the problem is with the cable-port, and that needs replacing.

If there are other ways to stick something into it to access the chips on it, I'd like to know.

Here it is. Camera's blurry I need to replace my phone while I'm at it (but that costs money).

So yeah, there's a big dent. Again I don't think that's the problem, I think it's the USB-port that is the problem. I think it's just not connecting the wire to my computer when I plug it in. I think electricity is arcing between it because when I plug it in, it heats up and I can hear a buzzing sound. The usb-cable itself works just fine.

are proprietary motherboards/PSUs in prebuilts really bad?

>>103284501
Again, I ask, what the fucks a SATA?
>>103284520
I don't know. My suspicion is that there was electricity arcing between the usb-cable and the port. Because when I plug it in, it starts to hear up and I can hear a buzzing coming from it when I hold it to my ear.

Now I was running a program on it all night (just never bothered to shut it off) that requires some juice so I didn't think it getting hot was too unusual. What happened is I sat my laptop atop the hard-drive, and it must have gotten so hot that the weight of the laptop deformed it. Now at the moment I noticed this, it was so hot I was like 'yikes unplug this motherfucker now'.

Again my suspicion is more the USB port is damaged and needs replacing.

Almost all titles need upsampling on reasonable older hardware these days (the muh VRAM retards are of course making a retarded attempt at futureproofing), so the VRAM is almost irrelevant because it's only a factor in a few titles and even then you can usually get full resolution textures with a couple of clicks if you're not an idiot

>my frame rate tanks whilst I play my games
If you're trying to play new games, the 3070's core is likely too weak. It's not about the VRAM in the vast majority of games. If you're coming across areas where there are sharp performance dropoffs, could be that you need to lower VRAM intensive settings.

>DLSS isn't a universal feature
It's almost universal these days. Almost any game that doesn't have it doesn't need it on a 3070. The exception might be Helldivers, but even then that's an outlier and the game doesn't even look that good (lighting in particular is horrible)

>I'm not disputing it's a great AA tool

I think the Super refresh is likely to get some 1.5x VRAM cards with the 3 GB GDDR7 modules. At the very least, I would expect GB207 to have a 12 GB variant. It would be nice if it were available from the start, like the 3060 12 GB, but I feel like it's unlikely.

They're all semi-glossy except the Samsung, MSI and Alienware are entirely identical except for refresh rate.

At these prices, the AW2725DF is simply the better choice unless you specifically need an HDMI2.1 port for consoles (and even then it's not a big deal).
It has the best out-of-the-box calibration and Dell generally offers a reliable warranty.

Think upgrading from a 4080 to 5080 makes sense? I heard it'll have better ray tracing performance but otherwise it doesn't seem all that impressive.

There's an old diyperks video on Youtube, where he makes a case out of fiberboard/Masonite, and it seems approachable.
Most of what he does looks like jank shit, even at the 90% mark, but he really has a knack for polishing turds.

Someone (here, or maybe /diy/) put it in my head to draw up a bunch of cad files, and have a place like SendCutSend cut out the panels, etc.
Haven't made much progress with it, but I quite like the idea.

You guys probably don't really play games and just sit around arguing about tech "culture" all day long, but personally I hope we see this implemented https://research.nvidia.com/labs/rtr/neural_texture_compression/

The TLDR is higher res textures at a fraction of the current cost. They can call it DLSS4 and make it 50 series exclusive or whatever.

This feature would 100% be nvidia exclusive and part of their next tier of DLSS features. I don't have a problem with that. Nvidia is a business. They don't need to make it open source and universal because some poors don't want to buy an nvidia card.

That's not necessary and there are easier ways to do it. Using a jigsaw for example.

>>103285377
It's really good, you won't regret it at that price.
Be careful when unboxing it as the coating on QD-OLED monitors is extremely fragile and hard to clean.

5700x3d upgrade vs 7500f/7600 if I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a 4070 super? I don't mind spending a little more on am5. I am concerned about these modern slop devs and that the 5700x3d will start to show its age sooner

>>103285537
5700x3d already showing its age on crap oms redogshitengineslop

>>103285598
>already showing its age on crap oms redogshitengineslop
Understandable, AM5 it is. That engine isnt going anywhere

>>103285537
5700x3D is still a great CPU and won't bottleneck a 4070 Super.
It already struggles in poorly optimized slop such as MHWilds, but the scenarios where it's not great could only be fixed by getting a 7800x3D/9800x3D anyways.

Full platform upgrade is not without benefits, but you should probably stretch up to a better CPU or wait for the Zen 5 X3D line-up to extend before investing into it.

>>103285611
7600x3d is an option at my MC but feels like a cope CPU since lol8cores. Might grab a 7500f right now and upgrade when further zen 5 x3d chips drop, because you know they will

how bad is this on a 1tb samsung evo 870? im pretty sure i noticed the uncorrectable error and ecc error rate like 2 years ago but the number hasn't gone up since then and im not having any issues with the drive. wondering if i should bother replacing it

have the RDNA3 GPUs improved since release 2 years ago like how the AM5 CPUs improved? any more hope or speculation on further improvement?

Heard something about "ai cores" not being utilized properly on RDNA3 GPUs but sounds like fanboy bullsht

Dag. I guess I'll keep waiting.
Or is there another alternative mobo with similar specs?
I particularly like how many m2 slots it has. Lane management is neat. I have two drives in my current build and another two I want to salvage from my previous build. I'll probably end up using that 5th slot in the far future, not like ill use that 3rd pcie slot over it. But that 5th m2 is not exactly needed at the moment.
USB4 is also a big help.
Debug led is neat, but not exactly needed.

>>103285639
It does have "air cores" which will probably be used for fsr4 which will finally be AI upscaled like dlss. Up till now AMD has avoided using an ai upscaled solution since it would alienate all their previous customers and most of their customers buy them for their lower prices so it's a bad idea for them to block off everyone from using the latest "feature".

>>103285620
It's up to you, but I don't think transitioning to AM5 with a budget CPU is going to satisfy you much.
You could get the 5700x3D in the meantime and only upgrade when you actually plan on getting a higher-end CPU, instead of doing a more expensive upgrade to AM5 with a sub-par CPU and planning to upgrade again later.
>7600x3d is an option

Some random, unsubstantiated, probably misattributed Steam forum posts, really the best you can do?
Sort of like how you attributed an obvious problem with AMD's AM5 platform (anon had to use JEDEC RAM speed) to Nvidia, because you're retarded an poor, which is why you're mad at Nvidia

Here's Wukong, one of the best (yes, guess what retard, it's Unreal) games of this year, not running well with Radeon

AMD's HILARIOUS solution was of course "just disable shadows lol"

>>103285668
You think the 7600x3d is that much better with the bundle? It feels like a weird inbetween and I just feel regret that I didn't buy 7800x3d when it was still 300 instead of the 450 it is now

>>103285486
Small-scale miners usually didn't abuse their video cards.
If you were lucky, the miner downclocked/undervolted the GPU core to let the card run more power efficiently.

I don't even have that many scalpers in my area, or more likely even they have no stock either.
Apparently, I had missed a restock 2 days ago too, but I honestly did not think my cpu would come in this soon, so I didn't bother to keep a constant tab.

How often should you replace a power supply? I've had the same 620 Bronze since 2018 and it's now the oldest part in my system. Still works fine but I'm starting to worry about it.

>>103285725
You should probably replace it if you've got relatively expensive PC components.
Keep PSUs until the warranty lapses, affordable ones usually offer 3 or 5 year warranties.
If the PC is more of a general office workstation (spreadsheets, email, etc), the PSU should be ok.

>>103285725
