>>106575780
You can see if your mic is working in the windows sound settings. It has a visual noise meter next to each mic and speaker. If your mic is being detected by windows it means the game is bugged.

Is my 5070 Ti undervolt too aggressive?
+2800 on memory as well

>>106575756
I have a Shure MV5 on a small Gorillapod as a stand since I use it with different machines. At work I use an Elgato Wave Neo because it looks nice and comes with a stand that puts the mic at almost the right height. Both are ~1" condensers and sound about the same. I wouldn't recommend a condenser in a loud environment unless you have some sort of noise canceling or PTT.
Dynamics will work better in a louder environment. But they also need to be practically inside your mouth to work well. The Elgato I can keep just outside the frame of video calls and still sound great without looking like I'm larping as a podcaster. But if you're gaming with an open mic dynamic is probably the better option.

my new 18" 2560x1600 monitor has a DPI of 168 and everything looks sharp to the point of being uncanny
I'm honestly starting to believe that a DPI of around 130-140, which is what you get with say 32" 4k, might be the sweet spot with more not necessarily being that desirable

>>106575822
Run some stress tests to see if it's stable. You can also save the profile for later and run the OC Scanner thing then undervolt from there. But I'm not an afterburner expert.

You can probably do +3000 memory without problems
Those Samsung gddr7 chips have a lot of juice in them and 34gbps is trivial for it to run

>>106576039
Higher vsoc needed for the same clock, mainly and also clockspeed ceiling but absolute speed doesn't matter since there's the 1:1 sweet spot of 6200-6600 that's easy for 2R to hit
Also its possible you'll be able to do 6400 at 1.27v on 1R but be unable to do so on 2R as it requires more than 1.30v vsoc and need to downclock to 6200mhz to cope

>>106576169
Damn nigger do you have a 20k 27" display or what

>>106576223
Anon already has the wolfbox and says he got scammed for it being underpowered

>>106576302
Much obliged
But what if I plan on staying at 6000MT and try to keep 1:1 without overvoling? Is that even possible?

>>106576344
You'll probably need to go over the 1.05v default vsoc for 6000 2R
My current 9800x3d has a recently strong IMC/IF and needs about 1.1v for 6000cl26 2R
My previous 7800x3d needed about 1.2v for the same setting and generally needed 0.1v more vsoc for the same clocks as the 9800x3d even at 6200mhz

>>106576313
The goal is to use whatever scaling possible and no aliasing from a close enough view

130-140 is great for productivity, but could be uncomfortable when you want to relax and lean far back.
105 is fine for home desktop monitor without OS scaling, perfect for games and media. Fuck necklets and eyelets, I play paradox spreadsheet simulators on 42" all day every day.
My laptop is 201 DPI though, took some time getting used to it but now feels fine without scaling either.

I'm doing a build with that case. I wouldn't recommend it if you're gona access the I/O ports regularly especially with cables.

Its easy to pop the lid and access the ports but you're basically looking at a 30-60 second long process requiring both hands while standing over the case to thread a cable through the holes in the back and plugging it in and then put the lid back on. Its something I'd be willing to tolerate doing a one or twice a year at most. If its a something you need to do multiple times in a week I'd get another case.

1080p is great if you can handle it without upscaling AND the game provides a proper anti-aliasing solution instead of only DLAA (already bordering on AI slop), FXAA and TAA.
As it turns out, 1440p with DLSS ends up running and looking better than native 1080p with TAA. Hell, in some cases a bit of modest DLSS4 (Quality) ends up looking better than native 1440p with TAA even.

Does 1080p/1440p fundamentally become no different from 4k given enough distance? Like isn't it mostly about not seeing the pixels?

I don't know what to believe because I've never experienced anything other than these small screens. But I'm getting older and my eyesight is starting to decline. I was considering stepping up to a tv sized screen like a 42 inch or maybe even 55 inch screen. But tv's all seem to be 4k only, and I see people complaining all the time that everything on 4k is super tiny like the pictures for files and stuff like that. But if it's on a massive screen wouldn't that make up for that? And if I had a big 4k tv, if I'm playing games that can't handle 4k could I lower the resolution and it not look like shit or do I have to find a way to always be in 4k?

In idle both CPU and GPU are around 50 degrees

but when I am running some low load game (less then 10% GPU load) temperature of GPU is around 69-75 degrees, while CPU is around 60+

Not really other than testing it yourself. Maybe check if someone had the same idea online and tested it for a specific model.

third tier C4/C5 for 42" Tier, or samsung s90d 42" for better motion interpolation and a game mode that does not lose brightness/color (last time I checked)
worst tier B4

LG TVs have better motion for non pc use and so on, but have dithering causing diagonal scan lines on everything
Samsung have worse QC, matte coating, a one connect box on the upmost tier

pick your poison, also if going for less than a 55" on LG or Samsung you will get worse dimmer panels

for tvmaxxing 55"+ is ideal for the benefits of brightness and so on

and always buy on a sale, for samsung you can consider buying open boxes because if the coating on the panel is scratched and you can get a giant price cut you can wet paper towel tactic it and peel off the entire coating and get a pristine tv again

>0 RPM mode silent when completely idle
>switches between 0 RPM and 1400 RPM modes when low usage (RTX video upscaling on 1080p youtube/mpc-hc content)
>2000-2500 RPM during intense gaming
No clue about actual sound levels in DB, but the thermals of the card itself have been great. Highest I've seen it go is around 80C and that was an edge case, usually it tops out at around 75-77C. During idle it's around 40-50C and during light usage around 45-55C depending on if the fan spins up or not.
It's the dual fan SFF-ready version of the card too.

How much different are the 8400f and the 7500f?

>>106578188
How much better is than the 5060 Ti? Especially with VRAM, is modding the 5070 for more VRAM a feasible option?

>>106578228
>How much better is than the 5060 Ti
Should be about 30-35% faster.
>modding for VRAM
I've only heard of crazy chinese guys doing that on very high end GPUs like xx90-series cards for very heavy AI and rendering applications.
Either way, weren't you looking at the 5070Ti? That's the best of both worlds option (16GB VRAM + high performance) if you can afford it. I couldn't so I settled, and the 5070 is serving me really nicely in both gayming and AI sloppa generation.

>>106578215
main difference is L3 cache and the IHS for the 8400F being affixed with caked-on thermal paste rather than soder. overal the 8400F will preform like a higher end zen 3 part while the 7500F will perform like a proper zen 4 cpu.

>>106578215
Architecturally they're completely different. The 8400F is monolithic and the 7500F is a chiplet design. Though in practice you might not notice much difference with the kinds of GPU you'd pair these with (7600XT, 5060, B580, etc).

It's actually the opposite, no 5070 ti is boosting above 2900 stock and it improves consistency by locking voltage and clocks under full load. It's trivial for anyone to do +400 at 950mv, using less power to boost above 3ghz.

Don't listen to retards. You buy a power supply based on your needs ten years from now, when the warranty expires. I saved hundreds going big and upgrading into it.

It's good that you aren't cheaping out on the PSU since that's the easiest part to do so. But compare that to the cost and noise of the CPU cooler fans at load (it's about 38dB). You could probably be better served by going with a quieter cooler there, then dropping to the platinum version of that PSU. Or just upgrade the cooler to something quieter and keep the expensive PSU as well.

Yeah, this is what is exactly done for the 4090 48 GB. You need to also have modified vBIOS though, also making wider memory bus can be difficult. In most cases is just changing the PCB with clamshell (both sides) memory configuration.

I have an AK620 in my computer at home, and a Peerless Assassin 120 in my workstation at the office. They're both roughly equivalent (the AK620 has slightly better fans) and can easily handle the heat of a modern AM5 processor. Even the big ones. But if quiet is the overriding goal I'd research what the current hot shit is in this area. Looks like the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro might be a good bet. Seems lowest noise levels under load are still in the mid 30dB range. So maybe there's not much to gain here.

If you were able to use a 1060 for this long I don't see why not. 12gb is more "forward looking" than 6gb in 2017/2018 or whatever, 16gb might as well be infinite from your position.

I don't really know how that works out other than just don't buy amd. I think (in fact I just about know) 16gb is more valuable than the extra performance from the 5070 on this front

Both of those cards are fine for that. 5070 you'd usually use quality and sometimes balanced or dlaa, 5060ti balanced or performance (which still almost always holds up)

Nothing, I haven't had desktop speakers in a decade. I just want a more casual alternative to putting headphones on. I wouldn't have space for speakers anyways, my desk is tiny, while the soundbar can rest on my monitor's stand's foot.

>>106581620
Go for it then. I can't speak to specific models but there's plenty of reviewers that cover them (including RTings). Your uses aren't particularly demanding so there's no need to get in to the weeds w.r.t. audio quality. Packaging and fitment are probably more important.

does playing with hdr turned on get lower fps?

bros, why does the ProFart Z890 look that much better than its X870 counterpart?
is the grass really greener on the other side or just unfortunate design choices?
not to mention the lack of muh plastic on one chipset

>>106581772
Intel unironically pays mobo makers to make intel boards look nicer and have better features and variety of boards
AMD is hands off on mobo development and it shows

>>106581793
I imagine it'll do the job. Don't think it'll sound /great/ but nothing will at €55. You probably want to double that budget to get in to something with more-than-baseline sound quality. Though, again, baseline seems to be what you want - don't overthink it.

Do the majority of Japs still have a disc reader under the drawer or something?

Was in Japan recently and two things I noticed. The majority of the PC parts store sell modern PCs which look like >>106575715 no disc reader to be found.

However, walking into the porn stores I'm seeing a lot of PCDVD roms on the shelf. Not gonna question how they get their games, but the only way physical release makes sense if if almost every Otaku also has USB plug-and-play BD DVD scanner/reader. So I ask, do the majority of Japs still have a disc reader under the drawer or something?

whaddya think? anything I'm missing? anywhere I can save some tenners?
i'm aware I prolly need to update mobo bios before anything, not too happy about that, but oh well
do I need more fans? the case comes with 2 built in
usecases - gayming, audio production (guitar stuff plus VSTs), some video editing, all in 1440p
budget around 1500e, slovenia, ordering everything from amazon.de (cause local shops are not worth it, markup etc)
also, my first build

Looks pretty good. You might consider the 12-core 7900 over the 8-core 9700X for the extra 10€. Once you enable PBO it becomes a 7900X and is equal to the 9700X in games but the extra 4 cores more than makes up for the lower IPC for applications that use lots of threads like video editing. See here:

it's the same thing with a worse stand and no usb-c and so on, it should be cheaper, maybe by alot

>I will save my next salary for a good OLED for gaming and use this IPS for everything else
55"+ oled tvs for cheap on BF

Which CPU should I choose between 9700X and 265k, since their prices are basically the same in my country now? I'll be using my new PC for office work, heavy web browser usage and web applications, gaming at 2K and/or FullHD (mainly for old fps titles), maybe AI vid and image gen, maybe video editing, maybe streaming. Future CPU upgradability is not an issue for me since the only components I might consider upgrading are eventually the GPU and/or the storage options. Picking the CPU for my new PC build is the hardest decision.

>nvidia is better!
>(only on windows)

>>106582510
cool build
be sure you're getting a display port cable, monitor probably has one but just be sure.
only other thing that caught me up in my newish build was how fucking huge the "mid"towers were, not an issue per se but just a heads up

>>106582897
The 265K is gonna be a bit faster (and the KF version is cheaper right now) so I'd grab it.

>>106582927
Thank you for replying. As for the motherboard, would a Z890 series be worth the investment or would a mid-tier B860 be enough?

>>106582927
>buying an F version for video editing, streaming, workstation shit

>>106582935
B860 is plenty.

>>106582887
Yeah missing those features makes it worse. The difference is only 10€ anyways.
>55" oled
No. Im gonna sit 60 cm away from my screen, that's gonna be way too big for gaming. Would only work if I played controller games from my bed

>>106583104
>Going from 160 hz to 240 hz is barely noticeable
I would say 120 240 is noticable
and 240 on oled is still not clear enough

>Not to mention I'm gonna gayme on 4k, I ain't reaching those fps thresholds anyways
all the more reason to TVmaxx

not if you had effective motion interpolation that could reach up to that number increasing your clarity to 2ms persistence

PC gaming has peaked since the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Look at the mobile + ad revenue.

>>106583578
depends on the 18A node.

>>106583578
more or less yes. they have no real avx512 today. only amd does. its being used today in datacenters, research labs, and consumers (emulators).

>>106583578
if they're smart and double down on the current b50 success, they can un-kill. It's a weird time for them. They need to release a sku (call it the b70) that, instead of focusing on being more powerful, just has as much vram as they can cram into it. That's the primary limiting factor for running local llms, and it's something nvidia currently has a monopoly on, so they can charge exorbitant amounts for it.
If they make a moderately powerful workstation card with 64gb of vram, that would immediately steal a big chunk of market share, and help pull them out of the current slump.

>>106583104
>Going from 160 hz to 240 hz is barely noticeable.
160 hz ips panel vs 240 hz oled is noticeable.

When i had a 165hz ips I could tell the difference in blurring just by using a 165hz TN panel.

>>106583654
the blur is reduced by the pixel response time + backlight strobing

>shame the industry is blocking oled BFI solutions for whatever reason
It seems like it is dead end tech. They have yet to ship a monitor with the gsync pulsar. If they can scale oled to 1000hz and then used frame gen to get there, what is the point in bfi?

bfi improves clarity without requiring the game to run at 1000 fps
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/rog-swift-oled-pg27aqdp has bfi, since its 480hz monitor you can run 240hz bfi mode

>>106583734
I hope you get better shills cause this is just laughable

>>106583754
The problems with BFI are that it only has focus on part of the screen and the other parts become more blurry.
2) double image / image blurriness when you drop below the targeted frame rate.
3) Gave me fatigue after using it for extended sessions.

It needs a very optimized game that doesn't drop frames when there's a lot of action going on. Even cs 2 will drop down to 100 fps (?) in that pro players clp.

>>106583803
you can prob mitigate the drops with frame gen a bit

Inflation is quite the bitch for discretionary spending, ain’t it?

Dire times for PC building, absolute ridiculous.
I guess you have more and better choices with Intel motherboards.

AM5 motherboards are either overpriced and/or shite.
I do not want a B850 motherboard because it usually includes Wifi7 cards, and those do not support Windows 10.

Decent B650 boards? Too bad the ASRock B650 Steel Legend is the only option with PCIe 5.0 support, but I won't risk frying the CPU.
Only 2 options left means only PCIe 4.0 which is the MSI Tomahawk both in ATX and microATX variant, nothing left.
