Monitors Unboxed has released a website. Good for price comparisons of only recommended monitors. Unfortunately you can’t see which category they are recommended in so you’ll still need to find the video. https://monitor.deals/
>>109331144seems a bit goofy to have a generic sales announcements on the websiteyou dont care unless its a local store
Is there anything worse than shopping for a fucking reasonable monitor? And then hoping you didn't lose the panel lottery. And then knowing if you lost the lottery or not.you're not safe from this shit even at the high end if you're retarded enough to fork over the price of a 5080 or higher for a display
>>109331704Yeah it sucks, stores should invent something like a return or exchange policy in the event that the item you purchase is faulty in some way. That would be really convenient.

Do power supplies these days really ever fail?Just something that popped into my mind when looking at the guts of my old PC with its Corsair CX600 from 2014. It might've only had a meagre three-year warranty, but it lasted eight years of active use and then four years of random use after that. I also remember how in the early 2000s, we had our family PCs pop a power supply every so often.
https://www.techpowerup.com/350912/noctua-and-pulsar-gaming-gears-partner-to-launch-the-feinmann-f01-noctua-edition>The Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition carries a suggested retail price of $179.95 USD / €179.90 EUR. The Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition is available as of today via Pulsar Gaming Gears' official websites and authorized global resellers.
>>109333199Power supply lose some of its power as it ages, but if you chose you psu with a margin you wouldn't really notice. 600W in 2014 was a lot, I imagine a regular rig to pull like 400W top.
>>109333199power supplies lose wattage overtime and if you got high wattage components the psu will eventually blow up
>>109333166tell them to fuck off and send you a new one free of charge at this point for wasting your time
>>109333166unlucky afI bought a tcl QD-miniled from amazon open box for $350 and it has 0 dead pixels this shit is like $1000 still brand newwhat brand did you buy?
>>109333199My cousin claimed his entire build build died when their power tripped last year, but I suspect it was only his power supply that popped since he's salvaged parts from it since. It was some 1000w corsair psu. Hooked up to a surge protector and everything. He's got his new build hooked up to a USP now.That all said it's still possible but I feel like a lot of big name PSUs are pretty solid and reliable this day and age. It's only when you're getting the sketchy bronze rated ones where it gets dicey, but you've probably gotta be real bad off to not be able to afford at least a gold rated psu.

I'm building a new PC and found a Cooler Master Elite 750W (gold) for a decent price, anyone here has experience with that specific PSU model?
>>109333287AOC, samsung, LG, ASUS (current)
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1634763-need-help-with-yellow-dram-led-on-first-boot/So on last thread I asked exactly this, and this dude just replaced the RAM. Anons told me that it was my fault, that all I had to do is to reset the CPU and try again, maybe one stick at a time and whatnot.I don't really want to send it back, so is there anything else I could try?
>>109333920just got a samsung and its working fine so far, have yet to push it though, rest of the parts have yet to come in, so I set it up with my good ol xbox one, just to make sure it worked fine
>>109333946so u tried each ram stick individually and it didn't work?
>>109333920my experience in the past with ASUS was alright though the best IPS monitor I had was from ViewSonic. No BLB and barely any glow. You could only hear a high pitched noise at high fps when it was quiet. Not sure if their current lineup is still as good as the monitor I had back in the day.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3N8K7wr8 and h8. Just going to be used for photo viewing, music playback, and light web browsing.
>>109334149maybe you'll want more storage and ram, winblows 11 is demanding, and so are most browsers these days. Also you will need a cooler for the cpu i think.Mini ITX cases are aids to work in but if space is an issue, i see no problem with it, smaller form-factor mobos are more prone to problems and failure i hear however.
>>109334175I should have specified I'm going to install Ubuntu. The CPU comes with a stock fan I'll replace if I need to, but I suspect it'll run way under load almost always. mATX is fine imo and I don't want to torture myself building it with ITX/mITX.
Today I will remind you that the best pc display is in fact a TVThe Samsung S95H/S99Hif you don't need more than 120-165hz and can cope with 55-77"I kinda now regret not picking up a cheap s95f on sales few months ago, maybe maybe they fixed more bugs latelyI will NOT buy a monitor, although the 4k 360hz qdoled might be pretty good
>>109334204Lmao @ that task bar size.I'm not falling for the using 55" TV as a monitor meme.You don't need TV levels of HDR brightness when you're sitting closer to the display.
>>109330254>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbpb23yTK8
>>109333946It could be a dead CPU if it doesn't post at all or doesnt boot with out ram sticks installed. It happened to me and had me scratching my head for a few days looking for the culprit without a test board.
Idk if this is the right thread for this, I don't visit /g/ often. I'm trying to add my old HDD to my new PC but it's not being registered at all. Checked the bios and no detection there either. Does it mean the SATA cables aren't plugged in correctly or is the drive just dead?
>GPU support that came with GPU is a way too short extensible peg>but the hole is the exact shape and size of a pencilAny reason it wouldn't work?
>>109334406win + xdisk management
>>109334420None, assuming the pencil can sit level on the bottom of the case. I used a cut down wooden food skewer in an old build of mine.
>>109334420I've seen pictures here of anons using lego or whatever they could find as support
>>109334433Nope. Doesn't work. It's just showing me my main NVMe SSD
>>109334478then it's not plugged right, check the sata and the power cable
>>109334478Check your cables and also when you power the system can you hear if the disk spins up?
>>109334482Yeah that's probably what it is. Just as I thought I was done tinkering, ffs...>>109334484I don't even know what it should sound like, I can't make it out from the sound of fans spinning
>>109334507Usually a faint ticking (loud ticking is bad news) and then a spinning sound.Can you get the drive out and put your ear close to it?
>>109334553Take it out while the PC is running?I listened to it a bit and I think I hear some sound. I guess it could be PSU since it's close to it but I'm like 70% sure it's actually the drive
>>109334603Yeah, power down, take it out (still plugged-in), put your ear close and power on.
>>109333105Check owner reviews online, I'm reading the same old dim highlights or backlight blooming concerns.That's just a part of owning a miniLED monitor, like dealing with text fringing on more affordable OLEDs (+ the burn in risk).
>pc parts arrive>mobo is missing, but on it's way>fucking Amazon still holding my Ram i got on a flash sale for cheaper hostage, but still marked for Saturdayaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>109334406try another cable for the disk if possible, sounds like a power source problem, otherwise it would at least spin and do their usual start up sound
>>109334625Yup, it's clicking. So it's data cable then, right? It has to be
>>109332190>for no reasonNiche products that attract some attention keep prices high. With that said, matx is a mass produced form factor and do you really need your computer to be smaller than this: https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/C6.html ?
>upgraded from 1440p and 1080p IPS monitors to 1440p oled main and 4k IPS secondary monitorits perfect
>>109334420use whatever works and won't slip off from vibration and wreck your gpu fan. I got curious one day and turns out that one of my empty toilet paper rolls was the perfect height to prop my GPU up and even removed some of the fan rattling I was experiencing at a certain rpm. Naturally, this temporary fix has now been in use for half a year.
Now that RDNA2 users are getting FSR4, what's a reasonable asking price for a 6900xt? Brand is Powercolor Red Devil. I was thinking $500 but is that too high compared to a 9070? "$500 or best offer?". It technically should have more value than it did a few months ago thanks to AMD backporting FSR4. I upgraded to a 7900xtx which I'm now seeing go for 2x what I paid for it but not sure if RDNA2 went up as much. Thoughts?
>>109334745it's less and less niche every new year, the form factor makes sense for a living room pc that will replace consoles
>>109334742Apparently that's working fine so it's probably the other cable
>>109334782too expensive, rdna4 only next year
>>109334773>multimonitor>mixed resolution and likely refresh rate>low res oled>perfect
>>109334801works perfectly under linux unironically.
>>109334782>Now that RDNA2 users are getting FSR4Says who?
>>109334782FSR4 doesnt make up for RDNA 2 and 3 being shit in modern game engines with mandatory RT and stuff. Their performance tanks. If you want a old but cheap card get a 3080 since there are tons of them on the used market and they're cheap as fuck right now.
>>109334149$230 for a 1440p@75Hz IPS is a terrible deal.You can get a 4K@70Hz IPS for $150:https://www.amazon.com/CUNPU-Monitor-Ultra-Slim-Editing-Speaker/dp/B0DQBQ59JZOr a 4K@160Hz IPS for $190 which will have vastly better input latency:https://www.amazon.com/Gawfolk-FreeSync-DisplayPort-Height-Adjustable-Compatible/dp/B0FHHF4P5SEither would blow a 1440p panel out of the water in clarity especially for photo viewing.editing.>>109334175He should probably get a custom Win11 ISO:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPOIF-akflk
>>109334819AMD - they announced it at the same time as they said RDNA3 was getting FSR4.
>>109334942I'm a bit skeptical these Chinesium no-name brands actually meet any of their advertised specs. Plus I'm not interested in 4K when the viewing distance with 27" will be like three feet away. Also I'm totally done with Wangblows.
>>109335026
>>109335050What does minimum viewing distance here refer to?
>>109335026The name brands use the same exact Chinesium panels under the hood. You pay extra for no technical benefit.Resolution doesn't matter, it's the pixel density it confers at 27" that matters for everything including text and photos. If the cheaper better-spec panel doesn't meet your expectations just return it and then buy the more expensive one, you can't lose.
>>109335083The phrasing is wonky due to the context of the chart but that is the furthest away you should sit - you can sit closer if you wish. The core trend is more resolution for a given screen size means sitting closer so you can actually see the pixels you paid for.
If you are buying a Ryzen 5 non 3D should you just not be a cheapskate and still buy a dual tower anyways? or single tower and save those few bucks.
>>109335122The funny thing is that these all look the same to 1080p users
>>109335122>>109335135I might consider 4K then but the specific monitor I chose had factory color calibration which was appealing. That CUNPU (lol) barely even has a website and also only DP 1.4 which I thought can't push 4K at that refresh rate?
>>109335141I'd get the non-x version that comes with a cooler, put the CPU in eco mode, and call it a day.
>>109335181I've been thinking about it, it is way cheaper where I live, so double savings, but I don't know if the stocks are any good.
>>109335083the higher the PPI the closer you can be before you can count individual pixels. What this chart neglects is that you may not be able to focus on the whole screen anymore if you're too close. For example the recommended viewing distance for 27" in order to have the whole picture in your FoV is 80cm as well which is one reason 24" 1080p, 27" 1440p and 32" 4k are common recommendations.
>>109334420none, go for it, but add a second support near the middle of the gpu facing away from the mobo aswell, so the pcb doesn't bend away from the gpu-core and vram modules.Either that, or vertical mount it and accept the latency-cuck tax.
>>109335172>I might consider 4K then but the specific monitor I chose had factory color calibration which was appealing.Factory calibration doesn't mean it's necessary "good" calibration. You can get a used Colorimeter on Ebay for $30-50 and do a full color profile of any monitor yourself with DisplayCAL (freeware):https://displaycal.net/>That CUNPU (lol) barely even has a website and also only DP 1.4 which I thought can't push 4K at that refresh rate?4K@70Hz is absolutely plenty for DP 1.4 which is good for up to 4K@120Hzhttps://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/

>>109335122>considering 4K at 27"Are you fucking blind? Not even Cr@pple goes that low.
>>109334897How far into my post did you read because I'm trying to sell the card not buy one>>109334794$400? $350? It was a perfectly viable 1440p card and I ran it at 4k on medium settings in demanding games, 7900xtx is going for like >$1k now and that's partially cause of the FSR4 drivers. Shits gotta be worth at least a few hundo, people on Facebook marketplace are easy rubes right?

>>109336026Holy shit, that's pretty insane, they blew the competition away.
>>109336067just remove the front fan. you are already going to buy an atx board so the case should be big enough to do that.
>>109336066biostar is taiwanese like msi, asus, asrock

>>109336074AIOs aren't necessarily competing vs. air coolers.People who prefer to buy air coolers usually don't want to deal with potential pump failure & liquid coolant loss over time..

My AM5 system has B650 Tomahawk and I don't have any issues so I wanted the 550 version of that but it's not sold here anymore. I do however see ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS without the wifi for ~100.

I have an old dogshit benq xl2411 as my side monitor that only manages to do 60hz via HDMI and 144hz via DVI Dual Link. It's too old and budget-y to have had a DP port at the it was manufactured. Problem is that my 4070S doesn't have a DVI port. All the discussions surrounding it is quite old but I was just wondering if there's a way (adapter or otherwise) to get this sucker running at 144hz again because the 60hz ghosting is absolutely unbearable even as a side monitor and I remember it being smooth as butter and having zero ghosting at 144hz, at least in it's prime nearly a decade ago.I've tried DVI-DP adapters before but it seems like they're all single link (60hz) so I don't know if I'm just shit out of luck here.
>>109336131Not unless the gpu is an actual brick - really the main purpose of these brackets is just to take the mechanical stress off the pcie slot as you're going to be screwing the i/o bracket into the rear of the case so basically ANY support at the other end is enough.
>>109336162What GPU is paired with that 5700x?

Should I "upgrade" my case? My current one (O11 Mini) is fine, but the Lancool 217 is so fucking beautiful. Do you guys change cases often?
>>109336217no and no
>>109336178>>109336201btw you need an active adapter. maybe you can find a good used one. crt fags have the same issue with vga because most new gpus have to use shitty adapter but the non shit ones cost a lot so they run 980s and stuff because those have good conversion chips that run at the right speeds built in.

For those who deal in the dark arts or have a magic 8-ball, can you tell me when will SSD/RAM prices will drop, so I can start a build?
>>109336707Next year, it will be perfect so you can get a next gen CPU and GPU for your next build.
>>109336707just wait.
>>109336707hopefully never so videogame makers have to spec for previous gen builds forever.
>>109334204I have a 77" S95F because I have big windows with a nice view which I use to impress my guests. I get why people hate matte but the utility for me was essential since I didn't want to limit my viewing to darkness. I have the matching soundbar and I would recommend investing more money on sound and getting the biggest screen you can afford. From sitting distance you're not going to care about the quality as much but the sounds is night and day. I mainly watch movies and anime on it. I can't assess it for games yet. I wanted OLED because I think individual pixels are always better than zone backlights. I'll get a Micro LED when they become affordable.
>>109336121fishing line from the top of the case, looped down pulling up the corner of the gpu. I used to do it with my rx580. Took a few attempts before i got the knot tied at the right position.
>>109336131it's not the support that matters but the pcb and it's flex. esp flex arround the gpu core and memory is bad for the gpu. you want to not flex the pcb but support it. those edge things at the far right corner aren't helping with this.
I have a 5950X CPU, 128GB 3600mhz memory and a 9070XT GPU. What motherboard should I get that will last me to DDR6? Grok says Asus Dark Hero, but the only listings I find online are going for $600+ used.

I need a new 1440p monitor around $500. I mostly game and am fairly sensitive to poor motion clarity.Is a budget OLED my only option at this price range?I obviously want the best looking monitor I can get and with minimal to no ghosting but I am not very fond of the idea of a monitor that has to be maintained like a bonsai tree with the pixel shifting, lengthy refresh etc and still might only last me a few years.MiniLED seems like an option as well but I'm having a hard time finding any winners that are also available locally. I've heard they're not perfect either of course but at least you know what you're getting (improved IPS with dimming, if I've understood it right)So far I've considered the ASUS 27" ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR (a bit too expensive at MSRP but I've found an open box selling for $560 which could be worth overspending a bit) and the Xiaomi 27" G Pro 27Qi
9070xt should be perfectly fine in a 620w bronze psu if I undervolt right?

>>109334002>xboxXbox was Ed Fries passion project and Xbox was a huge financial risk for microsoft. Those PC components cost a fortune compared to the cheap RISC hardware of PS2 and GC. They lost $125 for each console unit sold. Using a hard drive as a game data cache was also something never done before back in the day. There was a ton of creativity involved in the making of the xbox.It was an affordable way of playing Doom 3, Halo, Morrowind, KOTOR, etc. Xbox essentially shipped with a Pentium 3 733 MHz, 64MB DDR, a (slightly customized) Geforce 3, and an 8GB HDD for $299. A GeForce 3 was a pretty high-end card for 2001 too, a GeForce 2 and Directx 7 were really the standards still in 2001. Xbox OS was basically hyper-optimized Windows 2000, it's probably one of the most performant consumer-oriented x86 operating system ever written.It's so funny that Halo was used to advertise the NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS and then that graphics card literally couldn't run Halo CE.Xbox 360 Xenos was factually the first commercial GPU to have unified shaders, and remained the only one until Nvidia released the 8000 series in late 2006. It wasn't possible for any contemporary GPU to do what the 360 was doing in 2005. DX9 and eDRAM, 10MB, and the Xbox 360 does MSAA for free if you can fit your render targets within that 10MB limit.Many game resolution on-screen was lowered to 960x544, with the developer deploying 4x multi-sampling anti-aliasing to smooth off the edges.One reason MS switched from x86 on the first Xbox to PPC on the 360 was it ran too hot. This was Pentium 4 era.They revisited x86-64 processors for the Xbox One (and Sony with PS4) because PowerPC was looking like a dead end at the time (ran too hot, bad choice for high performance embedded) and ARM hadn't caught up. Xbox One includes 8 GB DDR3 memory, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. Xbox One includes 12 GB GDDR5 memory, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface.

>>109337588>>109337564>>109337523Dev issue. Not a hardware issueOnce upon a time, dev had to resort to tricks such as culling to optimize games to run on very limiting hardware. 2026 and now devs don't even bother with this shit because the hardware is so powerful and full of gimmicks such as DLSS/FSR and RTX that gaymers don't even understand why their game runs well or runs like shit
>>109337588It is pretty game, for the forests anyway. Really clean image.Unfortunately they use volumetric clouds which dont perform well at all, so the devs lowered the resolution down and it looks retarded. I think other games use volumetric clouds as well but their engines probably do it better, maybe crysis engine has 20y old code in it idk.
>>109337598msaa taking up to much performance? actually a skill issue. just means the geometry of the whole game is already crap and unoptimized. msaa gets the blame. same for the shimmering. dev issue. >>109337599we have intractable smokes in cs2 and that game runs at 500fps
>>109337589How good are these GPUs with AIOs? Are they reliable like the air cooled ones?
>>109337589For my current PC?I went with a 2TB NVME SSD over a 4TB because I didn't wanna take on a bit of debt to afford computer hardware (I would have paid it off in the month after, but regardless).That was in October of last year.Ever?I bought a 4870X2 once, and it was the last AMD card I've ever bothered with.
>>109337598Xbox consoles are optimized for convenience, not just performance: same hardware, no driver issues, no tweaking settings, just press a button and play.It's so funny that Halo was used to advertise the NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS and then that graphics card literally couldn't run Halo. Most GPUs were intentionally gimped out of Shader Model 2.0 and couldn't play Halo PC with specular highlights and bumpmapping. Gearbox had to potato-ify or remove many of the graphical effects when they ported the game to PC. Gearbox needed to write a fixed function renderer to support older 3D cards. Shaders had to be toned down for DX8 back then, the PC DirectX lacked a ton of calls present on the Og Xbox's DirectX.The fact that the DOOM 3 port and Morrowind worked as well as it did on the original Xbox is a testament to how powerful it was, as many people were upgrading their pcs just to play it, and the port was running on a console from 2001 if I remember correctly. Now devs have Ryzen X3D and 3090, 4090, 5090 to develop with and can only make UE5 jank lol

My only fear is that new GPUs will have an even more expensive baseline than previous generations and the older GPUs won't budge down in price, so I am feeling some really big FOMO vibes to buy a 9070 XT right now and be safe for the next 4 years instead of overdosing on "just get nvidia for AI sloppa filter 5.0 bro!" copium.
