Australian here, got a $80 gift card and thinking of getting a new mouse. Is the G502X worth it over the original? I know most if the differences but unsure if it's really enough to justify over the cheaper one.

>>106853223
>89g
Get a lighter mouse if you value your wrists.

>>106853054
>AVOID: fanless cases
not true. Fanless cases are 100% viable.

just a reminder that a year ago none of this brand war shit was happening

>>106853223
That thing is heavy as shit, don't recommend. Check out boardzy on youtube for much better mice recommendations.

>>106853264
Also you're sliding the mouse. How can 89g be that heavy for you guys?

>>106853264
In the world of mice that is extremely heavy. If that doesn't bother you than so be it. But the meme shape doesn't do anything. If you like it it's not a bad mouse but you should at least check out some alternatives.
A good mouse should be between 38-60g max. You'll notice the difference when you try one and never want to go back to tank mice again.

It's like OLED, you don't know what you are missing until you try it then you can never go back. Got this thing a few months ago and it was like crawling out of plato's cave for the first time.
If that's too rich for you Glorious O is much cheaper and is pretty light too.
You just really can't appreciate the feel of a light mouse until you have one to compare to a heavy ass one like the one OP mentioned.

32 inch 4k monitors are too expensive
I can get a 1440p 27 inch for 130 dollars or a 4k 27 inch for 185 dollars. Is it worth paying extra for 4k at that size? I probably can't play games at 4k on my toaster anyway.

I'd get the 4K display as the pixel density really helps with sharpness and clarity of text plus it can fully leverage 4K video and isn't bad on non-AAA games.

Also since it's evenly divisible you can integer scaling software to run games in 1080p without blurring if extra performance is needed:

If I'm looking to get a 5090, is there any real difference between the Zotac AMP Extreme Infinity and the MSI Gaming trio OC? Both of them are on sale for around the same price in my country, but I've heard Zotac has some heating issues and tends to run a bit hotter?

Pro tip to pc building noobs : You can always ignore amd shilling, they're literally evil and retarded.

>>106853894
You should probably move to AM5. I like the 9070, I think it's a better buy than the XT.

Weird, I did some bench on my gpu because cs2 was behaving shittily and was troubleshooting
It was like 11k score while online people had low 14k to high 16k scores, so something was wrong. Undervolting had some success bringing it to 12k+.
I then obviously ordered thermal putty and phase change pad for the gpu. maybe it has dried paste

Then I did DDU to do clean driver install and after than it behaved normally, 14k+ scores like other people.
I installed windows few months ago and its 4y old nvidia 3080, so there isnt any amd gpu to nvidia swapping going on. What could the drivers issue be that happened in that time frame, or is it windows fucking things up? The ddu steps specifically go over disconnecting ethernet cable so windows doesnt autodownload drivers for the gpu.

you could get a 5800x3d or 5600x3d although they aren't cheap from what I can tell
the 5800x is a lot less but might not be as big of an upgrade over the 3700x for gaming

>>106853927
They probably "upadeted" your driver without asking for consent.

>>106853934
The only AM4 chip worth buying is the 5700X non 3D. And it can't keep up with a 9070.
AM5 time. 7700, 7700X, 9700X, all great choices.

Dont forget your 8000 gorilion Hz polling rate dongle for only 199.99 extra, all the e-sport pros are using them, dont leave performance on the table.

>>106853997
They use such high polling rates that it lowers their game frame rate.

>>106853947
hdr = super nice

>>106853627
Nah not really. 1440p is great and it's also the best at integer scaling for emulating old console resolutions to use as much screen as possible. 4K only really shines in big TV type displays. Running stuff in 1440p at higher fps is better than slower at 4K.

Well why don't you press the power button and see for yourself? How did you even manage to buy a $3000 video game toy if you're so dumb?

Maybe this is a silly question but what's the point of 40gbps usb slots? Debating whether to get an x870 vs a b850

>>106854687
You can plug a graphics card or another expansion card into the usb slot

>>106854547
it is wider than a d15, so the vrm cover might obstruct the second fan

>>106854687
The X-series chipsets are more for work than consumer use. One can imagine a videographer or data scientist benefiting from high USB bandwidth but it's not going to make much, if any, difference to a guy that occasionally edits his holiday photos. Plus that bandwidth has to come from somewhere which usually means losing PCIe lanes in certain configurations. There's only a few X870 boards that don't lane-share and they're all expensive (more copper, finer tolerances).
USB4 can be used for display output which is probably the most common client use. X870(E) might be useful for a super high-end VR rig or simracing.

ram/psu/cases/coolers dont use special ingredients sourced from 1 company so they're typically easier to find discounted

why are voltage controlled fans bad?

>>106855965
That's not quite correct. Our perception of bass frequencies is certainly /less/ directional than mid/treble but the waves do still travel in defined directions. You probably won't notice it with a single downfiring sub but it is something to consider when setting up a stereo bass system. In any case it is a marginal effect; you can get away with moving a front-ported speaker closer to the wall but better to design the system such that you don't need to from the outset.

>>106855973

not bad just different. every fan has different amp requirements, its not precise like pwm.

>>106856032
90% of blender work is done in the userspace editor. those benchmarks for the 10% final cut.

>>106856063
it's not about our perception but in order to direct or reflect sound waves, your waveguide/reflector needs to be as large as the soundwave itself. yes obviously the location of the speaker matters but at low frequencies the direction of the driver or bass ports don't matter (unless your speaker 5m wide).

>>106856035

>>106856120
AMD cards are slow in preview and userspace too, it’s simply being a retarded NIGGER to buy one for blender

>>106856110
The 9800X3D is bad for video editing and is never marketed for it when a 9950X would be cheaper and much better at it. You can use the 9070XT in Blender all you want, considering the Blender team's previous attitude towards Radeon graphics cards you are welcome to decide for yourself if this is the time they will finally support them properly.

Can i please get a bit of help and critique on this low-midlow build? This is in Spain and would rather get it all through amazon.es if possible.
I dont mind paying 20€ or whatever extra in any (or all) pieces for a better overall build, getting those from a more reputable brand or whatever, is not about saving the most money and making it the cheapest, im just trying to make a build that sticks to my needs which should be amply covered by a build around this performance.
Mainly for overall use, some gaming @1440p but i dont mind if it that gaming has to be on mid settings for modern stuff, i mainly play indy smaller shit and some emulators.
I already have a 500gb nvme so i should be fine with an extra 1tb forever and a day
I know im picking a fairly expensive psu but i had some troubles with a psu back in the day and thats the place i rather spend an extra 30 or whatever to get a well reviewed platinum psu
Could use help on the gpu; I understand that on the 700-900€ range it is 5070TI or 9070XT but i have no idea whats going on on the 300-450€ range.
Also on the cpu i picked that one mainly going by what the price seems would align with the rest of the build. Again mainly office work, media consumption and some gaming.

Yes, it has a measurable impact on your CPU performance, especially with lower end processors.

>>106856484
right, sony also needs a reason to sell a new console with no games

>>106856440
stop going for 8k polling when you don't really need it.

>>106856507
yeah anything double your monitor refresh rate is plenty

>>106853947
I spent like $900 on one 2 years ago now, used it heavily for work and games and I have no signs of burn-in. Static background and I always show my taskbar too. The only thing I do to actively take care of it is turn it off when I step away from my desk for a bit. But I also have it go to sleep after 30 minutes so I really don't even need to do that. If this thing ever doesn't cut it or starts to get burn in, I'll buy another OLED monitor. It just looks too fucking good to not be my main monitor.

>>106856516
Last I checked, I could see and feel the difference between 500hz and 1000hz polling on a 144hz monitor. I'd just go for 1000hz to be safe, pretty much everything supports it now and you can get good wireless mice at 1Khz for like $30 now.

intel's wonderful stock cooler has betrayed me and broke when i got it out
any decent recommendations to replace it? not looking for something super flashy and dont want to grab a whole new psu/motherboard just to replace a cooler

>>106856595
just grab the cheapest dual tower thermalright available

>>106856595
basically any single tower cooler will outperform it and can be had for less than $20

Like I said it's not something you can understand until you have physically tried two difference mice of different weights.
>>106853972
Has nothing to do with polling rate, that is completely overrated. You can't tell the difference between 500 and 2000. Weight is the only statistic that really matters for a mouse. Even shitty mice have good sensors and polling rates these days. Expensive mice weigh less and it is worth paying for but again you won't see the appeal until you try it.

No I'm right and anyone buying 9800X3D + 9070XT for Blender is a retard

>>106856739
I agree, buying an X3D chip when the 9900X is significantly cheaper and faster is better. You could even go back to the 7900X and it will be a better choice for blender. Plus the money saved could go towards a better GPU, like the 5070 Ti. Sounds like a retarded AMD fanboy that wants to justify their gaming PC for work. Even though it would still be great for games, I don't know why you would be so hellbent on the 9800X3D for blender when you're losing 4 cores to spend more money.

>>106856320
Looks solid. Safe and standard. You're overspending on the SSD and PSU but you've covered that so I won't press.

>Could use help on the gpu
5060Ti 16GB > 9060Ti 16GB > 5060Ti 8GB > 9060 8GB
If you dropped the CPU+SSD+PSU back a notch you could afford a 5060Ti 16GB but the difference between them is small. Main advantage would be DLSS but it seems you don't play many games with it. Up to you.

I will stick to a 16gb card either way so its a cheapo 9060TI or a cheapo 5060TI which would be 80 or so extra bucks, i can swing that if i end up thinking its appropriate
The ssd im ok with it being a bit more expensive to get one from a better known brand same with the psu, might drop to a 650W but i dont expect the price difference being anything to write home about.
What are other options on CPU? i assume would be the 7600x? thats like 40€ cheaper, might end up picking that one a 650w psu and then the 5070TI and end up paying just a bit more
Any other cpu options?

NTA but part of the reason AMD is so fucked in GPUs is because people have bought AMD GPUs and got fucked because of it.
I started off with Fermi and "upgraded" to an R9 380. That fucking GPU I honestly blame for killing some of my interest in vidya it was that bad.
Ironically I did upgrade to a 1080 ti and come to find out my issues where 100% the GPUs fault.

Excuse if some of us if we are squeamish of investing literally any amount of money into AMD GPUs. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, etc

Nta you are responding to
I got a 970gtx and rode it until it crumbled in my fingers like sand
Wasn't a regular in these threads back then so i didnt even know that they had finessed me out with the 3.5gb memery
The card just worked and it worked until the rest of my pc was dying so i cant fault amd there
Only reason i now have a 3060TI instead of a 6xxx xt is that i got an stupidly good deal on the 3060TI
The way i see it AMD problem is that they understood their place perfectly, they know they can't compete with the 80 and 90 models but then they refuse to properly invest on dominating the 60 and 70 market
Look at the amount of buzz the 9070xt got for competing with the 5070TI on a lower price. If AMD can silence the critiques about features (ray tracing, cuda etc) and keep hammering that spot of offering similarly performing cards but 100 dollars cheaper than nvidia i think that they are bound to get a chunk of that market.
The problem is that they might not think it worth it.
I will use my 3060TI until it catches on fucking fire and if then the better bang for my money is an amd card, im there for it. Im cured of tribalism. The just need to make the product

Are amazon items more cheaper in black friday?
First time buying there and I'm not burger fyi.

>>106857599
They can be, my suggestion is putting every part you might possibly be interested into pcpartpicker and just checking it religiously. It will show you the lowest price across different platforms. Although it's not real time updates sometimes it takes half a day. But amazon does have some good sales, it all just depends. I would at least check a few local stores as well.

>>106857599
it does usually run a promotion event yes
but its more akin as how they do their prime days that they discount a bunch of shit nobody wants and the things you want have like a 5% discount (as shown in the prime days 3 days ago)
however the specific vendor might have sales while amazon is just being the middle man

>sale price 1800 dollars 2k with tax
Look I had to save a long fucking time for this, I have a bit of money but I'm not able to just buy whatever the fuck I want. I honestly went into this not wanting to spend more than 500 dollars on a screen. Spending 900 for the c5 was already a stretch. Spending double just for some extra brightness is not in the cards and I honestly don't think it will matter. I'm sensitive to bright like, I always have my monitor brightness set as low as it can and I am in a room with no windows. It's a small room, a 55 inch would barely fit, the 48 inch fills up a lot of the space I think it will be just fine.
I've got 60 days to return it so if for some reason it's not enough I can send it back but I doubt I will go bigger it's just not worth that much more money.

>>106857698

sounds cheap, here without sale its 3.2k
with sales + discount codes I could get it down to 1.9k most recently

if you need more brightness the C4 would be the same thing since it's just less bright

That doesn't work in today's market, atleast I'm not convinced.
It would have worked in 2010 back when everyone was much more conscientious about value but in this era where people will spend $100+ extra on a mobo, psu, ssd, fancy fans, etc for no practical reason other than feels or looks. How does AMD convince people to spend slightly less on a GPU?

Yeah the average PC builder is in their mid 30s now with an established career and disposable income. That marginal customer that can afford a $500 card but not a $600 one barely exists. Doubly so now that the card is ±50% of the cost of the entire rig. AMD would have to bring it back to pre-explosion prices, where a '60 class was $200, but it's hard to do that when TSMC has zero spare capacity. Maybe they can try stratification again; make the next gen '60 a rebadged 9070XT when N4 is cheaper.

>>106857893
>the average PC builder is in their mid 30s now with an established career and disposable income
That's part of it
Another part is Zoomers tend to spend more on things they otherwise would not be able to readily quantify. They buy a new car, it's often the highest trim. They eat at a restaurant, it's often higher up the price bracket for the aera. Most of anything they buy is more upmarket than what previous generation would consider and it's almost on instinct.
It's not like they really have the money, they'll go broke doing this shit considering how easy it is to borrow money.

At that point you might as well find another $50 for a 70ti, which is better in every way than a 9070xt.
Like outside of the 9060xt and third world shitholes (Canada included) there's been literally no reason to buy any RDNA gpu. From the 5700 to now, it's just non-stop amd cucking their loyal fanbase to disastrous results (see market share)

G5/G4 is too much, if I wanted to go 55 inch I would have to downgrade to a B5. I saw them side by side in the store and the c5 was so much brighter. Maybe it would equal out in a dark room I dunno.

Depends on your budget and needs. Do you have a computer that can even handle 4k? If you don't have at least a 9070xt or a 5070xt probably not.
If you do go oled make sure it has a burn in warranty. The difference in screen quality is there but it's hard to judge if you don't see it in person.
You don't miss what you don't know so if you are happy with what you have you don't NEED to consoom.

>>106858822
Still using 27" 1440p IPS 144Hz, I think it's time to upgrade.
OLED shills got to me, I'm sorry.

>>106858872
Could be a bit on the large side. Do you want a larger-than-normal display for some reason?

>>106858924
I'm 43 years old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I struggle sometimes reading small text on my 27 inch monitor. I've been wanting something bigger for a while.

>>106858937
Sounds good then.

I don't think I could cram 65 inches.

>>106859168
>>106859174
55 is too small anyway, time to cop a 77 or a 83 eventually

>OLED still hasn't reached 100" displays
what's taking so long

>>106859211
You have 97" oleds but it's not the top of the line tech
Like the g5 tops out at 83" and Samsung qd-oled at 77"

Is this 265k build alright for overclocking?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zDWHC8

>>106859211
Poor manufacturing yields, microLED uses tiles for this reason.

>>106859254
Intel cover 8000MHz DDR5 under their warranty now so if OC is concerned you can go faster, although yeah the 285K will probably have better silicon for it
Get a better SSD than that budget blue

I'm still surprised they never released a 285KS

That Strix-F price is getting a bit close to XOC boards like the Taichi OCF.

dude just bought an OLED, nothing you suggest will be an upgrade from that except a more expensive OLED, which he cant afford.

I need a power drill

>>106859449
As an Alpha Male, I can oblige.

>>106859403
Qdoled literally is an upgrade though

>>106859403
On a good deal you could find one even cheaper too

>>106859470
Subjective, qd and woled both have advantages and disadvantages. There is no objectively best screen.

>>106859470
not if you want to read any text without eyestrain

>>106859449
Go out and buy one. It's cheaper than a kit of ram.

Fuck I just realized I should probably get a hair net before I build my computer. I've got long hair and I'm always finding it everywhere. Would hate to get hair deep in the crevasses of my pc.

I think my GPU is dying but I can't afford a new card

>>106859550
Get any parts on sale now. The ones that aren't set a a priority list and if it looks like they will sell out completely than get it otherwise wait.
But honestly if you don't live in the balkans I wouldn't worry too much about it. Shit gets restocked all the time. If you aren't trying to get a gpu at a low price I doubt you'll have much of aproblem. Oh except for ram, I hear that is only going to get worse so maybe keep an eye on that and grab the first deal you see.

Should I go for 9060xt or an nvidia card if I want to (sometimes) gen vector / icon images for doc/presentation? My budget around $500, but I can save up to $1000. ROCm seems to be very unreliable otherwise I would have gone with 9070xt.

What is the difference between these screen sync technologies like g-sync and the ones in game like vsync? Do I need to use both or can I just pick one or the other?

>>106859663
I'm a linux used so I'm leaning more towards amd.

Have a 14700K. Thinking about moving to a 265K for less power use. Is the 265K good? I do more than just ga(y)me.

>>106859794
that's a super not worth it build. Just power limit your CPU and wait for Nova Lake.

>9800x3d with TUF B650E-E, flare x5 two dimms, boot drive Intel 660p.
I swapped to this MB and CPU today from a 5800X3D, and I can't get it to post. I took out my GPU, disconnected every drive but the boot drive, even connected a live USB with Mint on it. The LED indicator has a green light for boot but nothing seems to be happening. I have the Intel drive with windows 10 in it now, tried one dimm. I have a BIOS flashback button but there is no guide that I can find what to do. My manual is very sparse, I assume green is good. I have a laptop that I can download drivers to another USB but I can't get into BIOS.

OLED is cuck technology. I won't buy a device designed to burn itself.

>>106859794
just do an undervolt
14700K isn't running very aggressive clocks, it has lots of headroom

>>106859882
Your body is burning out as we speak. It's going to break down in 20-40 years and there is no warranty and you can't buy a new one.
When you think about it is OLED really that bad in comparison?

>>106859892
I will keep looking for non-OLED monitor with deep blacks and rich colours that doesn't make me buy a replacement after 1-2 years. I only need 180hz to game on, nobody needs 600hz monitors.

>>106859914
That's easy just get a mini led. The QM7k is a great choice. You'll have to put up with some haloing though, I saw it in a store and its only really bad if there is something bright right next to a black thing. Most of the time you probably won't notice it.

>>106858687
unstable platforms and getting cucked by random issues is what scares me

>USB issues
last time I checked the issues were mobo manufacturers shitty controllers and what they use
like wide spread reports of entire system stuttering due to not being able to handle 8k polling mice and shit like that
and it was all due to bad usb port controllers, not the cpu itself

the fact that that was less or not existent on intel mobos? the fuck

>>106858710
>Yes, motherboards on amd are a fucking abortion. Good luck not frying your $500 8 core processor or getting pcie5 to work for a reasonable prie
maybe a free 14600k was the best cpu of the decade
maybe it was the 2500k of 2025 after all

>>106858800
no core count just a gaymen cpu without any work station shit

>>106858822
>how often do you replace your monitor?
last monitors I owned were so old they got deprecated by their port selection, no dp and so on
only reason to upgrade if you are an enthusiast and there has been like several generations of upgrades of display else the upgrade will be minimal ofc

>should i go for the oled slop?
won't even be a crazy bump and lackluster brightness unless you TVmaxx
I feel like anything else will not even be remotely impressive, or 500hz

>>106858872

>Do you have a computer that can even handle 4k?
any computer can handle 4k, if it can render it in 2d, it can handle 4k
there are more upsides than rendering games in native 4k only

>>106858894
many pitfalls of the oled meme, even more so on monitors

>>106859492
>Subjective
no, the C series are literally kinda worse than the S90D/F in brightness and everything especially for gaymen / pc use
if we are comparing sub 55" C5 it will be even worse since there is a brightness nerf
also no QD
like the S90D were more like competing with the G4s

>>106859882
based

>>106859879
I figured out how to get a BIOS file for flashback, now I am waiting. The mobo is brand new, I thought it would be current.

>>106859879
On their website 9800X3D is supported with all UEFI versions on that board so it's unlikely you have to use Flasback function at all.
Which DIMM slots you are using right now?
Did you try clearing CMOS?
For how long did you wait? First boot can take a while with DDR5 memory training.

>>106859940
>last time I checked the issues were mobo manufacturers shitty controllers and what they use
Most USB ports are trough the CPU
And even if they are using a separate USB controller or even a hub chip, it's the same Asmedia/realtek shit they use on both AMD and Intel and have been for years

>>106860010
The only thing that won't be cuck tech is full body/mind vr immersion.

1440 is a cuck resolution. I won't buy a monitor that says "I had to settle on a monitor that isn't 4K".

>>106859940
>last time I checked the issues were mobo manufacturers shitty controllers and what they use
>like wide spread reports of entire system stuttering due to not being able to handle 8k polling mice and shit like that
AM4 also had infinity fabric issues that manifested as system-wide stuttering and USB device disconnections
but i think that was mostly solved by BIOS updates when they got the voltages locked in
>>106860001
>it's the same Asmedia/realtek shit they use on both AMD and Intel and have been for years
i have an asmedia hub (ASM1074) on my intel mobo but it's only used for some of the ports
the rest use an intel controller

>>106860033
Checked. Buying a 1440p display is cuckshit but 1440p is the sweet spot resolution for gaming. Video content should be watched in 4k

>>106860035
>the rest use an intel controller
That\s the CPU/Chipset
If Ryzen does still have issues, it's purely down to fuckery from AMD as MB vendors really aren't doing anything different between the two

>>106860064
>That\s the CPU/Chipset
monolithic intel CPUs don't have integrated USB controllers
but yeah i would assume it comes from the chipset, which is produced by intel
AMD chipsets are also produced by asmedia

>>106859992
I'm using A2 and B2, the manual says that's the first ones to populate. Clearing the CMOS now. Thanks anon, hoping this works.

>>106860033
1440p has always been a coperes only gaymers have accepted. NOBODY ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD USES THIS RESOLUTION FOR ANYTHING AT ALL.

>>106860093
>A2 B2
Correct.
If it's still stuck on Boot after clearing CMOS, you should try removing your m.2.

>>106859934
>QM7k
That's a huge TV, not a monitor

What's the temp and wattage difference between a 5070ti and a 5080? Does the 5080 have that 12v connector that everyone was complaining about? I'm wondering if spending the extra 150 dollars might be worth it. I don't do any AI shit, that extra 10-15% increase in power might allow me to framerate cap games easier.

>>106860160
It was just an example, but if you don't like the risk of burn in I think miniled is the second best choice.
You get close to the quality if not better in some areas than OLED and the only real price you pay is haloing which isn't all that bad.

>>106860171
Thank you, it was my intention to get a mini-LED. The mac studio monitors are pretty good but only 60hz, I'll keep looking in the mean time.

>>106860188
>>106860188
>>106860188

>>106860153
I took out the CMOS battery for twn minutes and removed my m.2 boot drive. Even without the drive, the boot LED is still green.

>>106860218
Try unplugging every USB device and plug your monitor into the motherboard to use iGPU.
Something is funky.

>>106860242
Nothing side from the CPU is attached to this board lol, HDMI is plugged into the mobo

>>106860270
Only RAM and CPU, alright.
So we are getting to the point we start praying.
What if you unplugged the HDMI? Same thing?
Check 24pin both on the PSU and motherboard side.
