>>109648263repaste and do one ram dimm
>>109648304already tried. pc still shits itself. last I checked it idles at like 45-60 in the bios... lol
>>1096482631. Remove everything except the CPU, RAM and add a heatsink. Use a tower cooler and not some gay ass shitty water cooler.If it boots then it's overheating.2. If it still doesn't boot to BIOS then try one RAM in all the slots one at a time.If it boots then it's either a RAM issue or a motherboard or CPU issue.3. Use a known good RAM stick.If it works then the RAM stick is dead.If it doesn't work then it points to either a CPU or motherboard issue.4. Use a known good CPU with the original RAM stick.If it works then CPU is dead.If it doesn't work it's a motherboard issue.5. Use a known good motherboard with the original CPU and original RAM stick.If it works your motherboard died.If it doesn't work then you're fucked and replace everything.
>>109648322its a fucking 10 year old PC I don't have any spare parts. I've never built anything with a fan cooler so I don't even have that. My current PC's ram isn't compatible (ddr5), I dont have another intel cpu to socket, and replacing the mobo would be a nightmare.
>>109648333>already tried. pc still shits itself. last I checked it idles at like 45-60 in the bios... lolCPU might be overheating and shutting down.Buy one of these CPU coolers and replace that H100i.These are compatible with that CPU socket (LGA1151)https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rw7scf/scythe-kotetsu-mark-3-6762-cfm-cpu-cooler-scktt-3000https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hYxRsY/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-se-d3
>>109648333What country/environment? I cooked a few PCs in the tropics after a while.
>>109648333You're shit out of luck then.You could try buying shit from Amazon, then return them once you figure it out. But returns from 3rd party sellers is a pain in the ass. You can probably still buy DDR4 RAM from Amazon, just double check if it's being sold by Amazon.But returning all that at once would flag your account. So...just take it to a repair shop. Not being able to boot into BIOS sounds like an issue with those three components.
>>109648360>So...just take it to a repair shop.it's a custom built pc I made when I was like 13, who is going to repair this shit?
>>109648374Go to a local computer repair shop. They deal with that shit all the time.
>>109648374you, or some other nerd that has old shit. that's not even that old.
>>109648399>that's not even that old.This. That shit isn't old. If you want old I'm trying to repair an old DDR2 PC I got back in 2004.Is it worth it? Fuck no. But it's fun.
>>109648263Point desk fan at machine in case it's a cooling issue (ram, chipset, etc).Try a different psu.Does it have integrated graphics?Unplug everything you can, stripping it down to a bare minimum to figure out where the problem might be.Try the gpu in another pc.

Also, this is one of two, I'm putting together a second PC for the other nephew. That one has a 1080Ti in it.
update:I got the pc to boot into the bios. pump speed is at 900 rpm, cpu temp is at 40. it restarted after ~15 minutes of idling in the bios. it's over.
Assassin 120 mini or ~$50-60 aio? Case can only take ~140mm coolers no common go to towers as they're all 150mm+.
>>109648515Change the power supply. The fact that it can still reach BIOS, but shuts down and restarts sounds like a failed power supply.Just unplug the power supply on your main rig and test it out.
>>109648515>pump speed is at 900 rpmAlso I don't know shit about watercooler pumps. My AIO is 4k RPM. If it boots into BIOS again keep checking the fucking temperature to see if it climbs.
>>109648687>Just unplug the power supply on your main rig and test it out.that sounds like a great way to fry all of my shit and leave me without a pc

It sounds like the motherboard is going or it needs a new CMOS battery.
>>10964990113 year old me had daddy's money to buy him all fancy new pc components, 23 year old me has to pay rent next week
>>109649910>rentingMy condolences. But reading through the thread, it could also very well be the power supply, as corsair is not really the gold or even platinum standard for a long-lasting "heart." Can you even remember what error logs were thrown up by windows during the time you were able to make it work for months?
>>109649927>Can you even remember what error logs were thrown up by windows during the time you were able to make it work for months?it's not my pc anymore, I haven't used it in like 3 years. My cousin isn't technical whatsoever, he just plays minecraft and warthunder with it.
>>109649933That makes things worse then. If you can find the logs it'll be easier to trace the problem instead of playing dick the detective with every component.
>>10964991013 year old me saved the remnants of lunch money until they amounted to xbox money. Surely you can do the same.

is it worth upgrading to a secondhand 5950x for $120 if I have a 5700x? upgrading to am5 would cost me 1.5k for the same amount of ram im currently using which is 64gb.
>>109650492just buy a 13900k or 14900k at that point instead of gimping yourself>>109650474nvidia schizos will say it has better image quality and upscaling amd uh better raw raster I guess

>>109648940lolIf you're not confident in removing components in your rig to test things then you shouldn't be trying to fix shit. Bring it to a repair shop.
>>109650474rtx 5070 is about to become a 1080p card thanks to its VRAM. it also gets lackluster upscaling performance. it's going to age like milk.>>109650492you get double the cores, if you keep your cpu at 100% a lot of time outside gaming, it sounds like a decent deal.
Any good monitors with AHVA IPS panels these days? Is buying monitors second hand any good? I'm starting to suspect fast IPS monitors are just shite in viewing experience in general today.
>>109650550Just buy OLED?

>>109650560I would rather buy Mini LED over OLED at the same price point.
>>109648131Is there any particular reason you no longer recommend Noctua coolers?
>>109650584just buy OLED and forget everything, it's (currently) the endgame.
>>109650584just buy oled
>>109648131So i'm taking my pc next week to a repair shop so they do re-paste on my cpu and gpu and they asked me for a password of my pc to run a stress test to make sure everything is ok. Is this common or huge red flag?
>>109650596Ask why they can't do it from a live usb environment.
>>109650596For security they could use a random ssd they have lying around, remove all old drives and use the new ssd to install windows and do tests.
>>109650596They just want to see all your porn and your browser history. They could just boot from a different OS and test shit out. I'd never EVER give my PC to anyone.
>>109650604>They just want to see all your porn and your browser history.I'm on nofap and noporn. >>109650599>>109650601Ok so it was a redflag, those guys are a company and they are actually famous aswell, I will just tell them to do the cleaning without running stress test, fuck them
>>109650609Well you can imagine if you did repastes yourself youd want to test it out, but theres articles of computer repair shops totally violating peoples privacy, downloading photos off the pc for personal entertainment and such.
Heads up for any ukbros you can get the MSI Ventus 5080 for £1060 and the 9070 XT Red Devil for £640 on Very with a coupon. Doubt they'll be around for long
>>109650609Just remove the storage and give them the PC, that's the simplest solution. Even if you don't tell them the password, it takes 2 minutes to enable the Admin account and check whatever on your PC, unless it's encrypted.
>>109650594>>109650592I saw this $515 1440p 240hz OLED in the store but for about $50 less I could still get a 2160p 160Hz MiniLED since I'm in a sunny room.I do kind of feel tempted now that it is at the $500 range since I want a replacement for my CRT which has some issues.
>>109650630> I'm in a sunny room.buy some space blanket and tape that over your windowsor buy blackout curtains from amazon
>>109650626I have two 980's 2tb and all my projects that i'm working on are there so i don't wanna risk taking them out. Also im shit with computers and i have a 3080ti that the gpu hotspot runs at 110c so I have no other option, the other guy i called told me 80 euros which is x2 the price of the other guys but he didn't ask for a pc password>>109650623> but theres articles of computer repair shops totally violating peoples privacy, downloading photos off the pc for personal entertainment and such.That's insane
>>109650637What's wrong with OLED being exposed to the sun?
>>109650647You want glossy for best image quality, matter screens have grain to them. And sunny room degrades the experience of using a glossy monitor.
>>109650647the problem is that OLED screens are dim and glossy panels reflect everything. Needless to say you'll need a secondary screen for keeping your PDFs for education/work open.
>>109650630What's the difference between these 1440p OLEDs here? There's like five ASUS ROG Strix XG27 variants that seem to differ by HDR and SDR brightness within 50-100 bucks.

OLED is a shit with a countdown clock every second you use it while CRTs later on were pretty resilient to burn in, but all is not well in LCD land. I have gone down a rabbit hole since yesterday and there are many people online talking about how horrible the vignette darkening on fast IPS panels especially are today. Worse than TN viewing angles in fact.
>>109650550IPS technology seems to have peaked with AHVA, seriously what the fuck is going on here? This is a disgrace. No quality control or engineering these days or a limitation of pushing high refresh rates and resolutions?You might genuinely be better off buying OLED like >>109650699 if you can stomach the cash burn on such an expensive toy.
>>109650723>if you can stomach the cash burn on such an expensive toy.nta but i gifted my c2 to my parents and i got a c5 and i can tell you it's worth every penny
>>109650704just bad uniformity from the backlight tho not viewing angles>OLED is a shit with a countdown clock every second you use it whileok but what are your options? you just take something that is shit and worse as a cope and imagine it will last longer? if it does not last longer your cope fails and you jsut wasted the same amount of years looking at something inferiorits the cope of all copes>>109650746c2 no ditheringc5 ditherhingshould be noticeable 6 series huge improvement
my past two monitors have been bottom tier acer VAs and at this point I'm so used to the smearing that it doesn't bother meI stop noticing it until I see someone bring it up in a thread and then think "oh yeah there it is" and eventually forget about it again
>>109650832you should try playing cs2 with the old monitor and then on oled
>>109650846I won't buy an oled until the burn in is resolvedwhenever my cheapo acer starts dying I'm just going to replace it with a high end va
>ASUS canceled my 20th Anniversary Bundle pre-order without delivery attempt, then relisted it for +$500kek
If I'm building a new pc what OS do I install win 10 ltsc or 11, is there an 11 build with all the crap removed or will I have do that manually
>>109650823>just bad uniformity from the backlight tho not viewing anglesNo, I think all these gaming monitor designers are just incompetent. My $450 BenQ LCD (designed in 2016) which I got In 2019 (and can be had today new for $340 still) completely demolishes every matte IPS display I see on store shelves today and in HUB videos in viewing angles. There is basically zero vignette or edge dimming, and next to no gamma shift even from extreme angles, you wouldn't believe it until I show it to you. But that's probably because this was a display intended to be used by people who actually give a shit about image quality.I also distinctly remember even some 4K 160Hz gaming LCDs not having as bad viewing angle experience as the stuff you see today. ASUS ROG monitors from even 3 years back in the $450 price range, if I remember correctly.>ok but what are your optionsProbably something that isn't the cheapest Chinesium being sold at markup to gamers. AHVA panels. There's no point to OLED when those can get brighter in a bright room and don't burn in and have fine view angles. Calling that s cope is funny to me.
>>109650535Damn, I didn't know the 9070 XT was worse than a 5060 Ti.
>>109650860The real cope is pretending that OLED isn't a public beta test technology and that it is actually ready for mass market use. The amount of electronic waste from all these used up OLEDs that manufacturers are pooping out is going to be staggering. MicroLED can't come soon enough unless investors pull the plug like at Samsung because they can't pull an ink cartridge scheme with those.
>>109650936Based retard with no reading comprehension.
You spend your whole life in front of a flat screen and you cheap out on it, what a disgrace.
>>109650959oled is a scam just like printer cartridges
>>109650959Looks good to me. Try not psyopping yourself into caring about the clarity of slowly panning text.
>>109650897Dogshit company, they don't even honour warranty requests anyway
>>109650971>living in a trailer park>watching the game on a 20" CRT>sipping cheap booze>"Hell yeah, my life is amazing."
>>109650959You're right, I need to find more professional quality LCDs within these same price points or higher instead of this cheap garbage in the IPS and OLED market today for a massive hike. Perhaps monitors didn't necessarily get cheaper and better as much as people thought.OLED is shit if you're doing anything other than playing games at night. You're not doing that for most of your life. It is a fundamentally flawed stopgap technology that has to be replaced.
>>109650985Next time don't buy an expensive monitor so you can still afford some glasses in order to truly appreciate the glorious text fringing, chromatic aberrations and banding due to the huge pixels with funny subpixel layouts on your OLED panel. Do it in darkness so your reflection doesn't scare you, of course.
>>109650997>Perhaps monitors didn't necessarily get cheaper and better as much as people thought.They don't. Corporations only care about how much profit a technology can make them. Plasmas and CRTs are still objectively better in certain ways than modern displays.
>>109651027I don't have any of these problems KEK
The loss in brightness at the edges of a screen like this should be totally unacceptable at anything $300 and higher. Yay, celebrate your "cheap" 4K IPS monitors with a panel lottery on par with OLEDs.
Okay, I think it's time to build before prices get even more insane.https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/2PGprGAlternatively I can save on memory and do DDR4 build with 5800x3d. What do you think?

>>109651332in the dithering department probably yes
every single IPS I had I toned down to sub 200 nits as I find more uncomfortable. Likewise switching to WOLED with similar nits wasn't that impressive. HDR on the WOLED is more enjoyable but I find it too bright as well a lot of times. IPS HDR is eye melting mode idk. HDR seems to be a meme anyway as there is always someone claiming it ain't real HDR unless you do this and that and whatever
>>109651340>HDR seems to be a meme anywayyou see more detail and brighter thingsis detail a meme?I tried it once and saw the differencenow you just need a not shit display to harness the power

I dug out my old LG monitor for a side by side brightness comparison with all my existing IPS monitors made in 2019, 2024, and 2015 ranging from AHVA IPS, ADS IPS, and AH IPS with 350 nits, 400 nits, and 250 nits brightness. I'd say in the sun here you'd want 350-400 nits minimum. I don't think 300 is enough considering how dim the LG looks.
>>109651730All 3 monitors have pretty great viewing angles with no real noticeable vignette dimming on the edge save for the AOC monitor which is probably due to their bezel design being designed for multi monitor scenarios. Bearing in mind one is 1440p 60Hz, one 1080p 240Hz, and 1080p 60Hz. I might haul a 4k monitor like that Lenovo to see how it stacks up against these.
>>109651730>you need nitsnah, using a shit tier laptop panel taught me all you need is lowering the gamma to max so you can actually see shithow many nits is this discolored shit tier panel im using? 250nits on spec? is it? Imn ot even sureit looks like fuckin 50 nits or somethingcomapred to an qdoled 250nits sdr panel the oled looks likr 600 nits in comparisonnits are a meme, kind of, but notlowered gamma to max and 100% vibrance to crush colors to evne make this garbage panel usable, using it at stock settings is literally unsuable how shit this panel im using is
>>109650591The NH-D15 G2 is recommended in the dual tower air cooler section, OP omits brand names to reduce character count.I might add the NL-LC1 AIOs as a premium option, but it's quite pricey ($250).>>109651151Build looks fine. Pick AM5 if you want to upgrade the CPU in the future, AM4 if you need to cut costs.
Testing in white is a little more revealing for the vignetting. What seems to set these old panels apart though from what I saw in the store is the uniformity of the image, yes it still dims when you turn but it's a lot more uniform rather than abruptly dropping off on the edge of your viewing plane on something like a 27 inch display.
>>109651823I don't understand why people disregard viewing angles when they still apply even when you are sitting dead center. The edges of the screen will be at an angle. Maybe the vignetting is better masked on curved LCD panels? I also wonder how much the pressure of the LCD sandwich can mess things up, like if you're cleaning the screen and pressing down or if it gets smacked. AHVA should have an advantage because it's all packed closer to the surface.
>>109650672They either have LG Display's WOLED or Samsung Display's QD-OLED panel.Some may have a special "True Black" glossy panel finish.Some may have lower maximum SDR brightness (200 vs. 250 or 300 nits)Display HDR TrueBlack 400 vs. 500 (higher is better)Maximum refresh rate differences, 1440/720p dual mode, etc.

>>109651915Hi, Lisa.
>>109651934I gave Nvidia a chance but when they don't work on both of the only OS options on x86 then what the fuck are you supposed to do? Go Mac? No.
>>109651915This, but my butthole chastity so I can afford to buy a 9070xt and 9950x3d2
>>109651520Not him, but I have 32" 4K OLED as a monitor. Pixel density is good (especially for gaming, desktop is good as well but not quite perfect). DLSS has better detail than fat 4K TAA and HDR is great when implemented well. You're right that HDR in general is underutilized
>>109651943Jokes aside Nvidia literally does not work.
>4k 160hz monitors affordable well below $300 now>most people stuck on 12GB 3060/4070/5070s trying to drive 1080p monitors
Even AMD biggest shills are calling out RDNA 4 as abandonware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjc8ADeeJTk
>>109651340>HDR on the WOLED is more enjoyable but I find it too bright as well a lot of times.Highlights can get insanely bright.>IPS HDR is eye melting mode idk.IPS panel needs to be paired with a miniLED backlight for better contrast and deeper blacks.>HDR seems to be a meme anywayUsually a display quality, calibration, or source media issue.Watch HDR mastered movies or TV series on your display.Most games have half-assed HDR implementations.Devs incorporate existing SDR color pipelines rather than building native HDR lighting and assets.New game engines like UE5 has better native HDR development support, but it's up to the devs to properly utilize it.The list of games that need HDR fixes is shocking.https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/ModsThen there's janky games like Final Fantasy XVI which supposedly prioritized HDR presentation, and it has a problematic SDR mode.
>>109651974Just use integer scaling. It looks better than native 1080p because there's no visible space between pixels.
>>109651988AMD doesn't allocate as much R&D on gaming graphics tech as NVIDIA.They partnered with Sony & MS to develop better upscaling and frame gen that'll be featured in next-gen consoles.Intel's XeSS2 can compete vs. FSR4 in terms of quality & performance, and Intel XeSS Frame Generation doesn't have frametime issues like FSR4's.
>>109652002every game I tried is on the list lol
>>109652059Don't use these fixes on multiplayer games, I just play them on SDR.Here's another resource.https://github.com/KoKlusz/HDR-Gaming-Database
>>109652010Even without it, 1080p video being played on a 4k monitor I saw looked sharper.
>>109651974You can easily run 4K with a 12 GB card, retard
Is $240 for a 4K 160Hz monitor a steal?I have a 1080p 240Hz panel I got only 3 years earlier for that much and I'm thirsty for 4K, not sure if I should upgrade and sell my old monitor.
>>10965220512GB games on low GPUthanks jensen!
You guys are all bottlenecking yourself because you have no clue about Realtek or AMD CPU bios issues.
>building a computer from scratch right nowGrim
>>109652022The thing is that for example the witcher 3 which is getting a remaster with pathtracing will have RR while AMD ray regeneration or any of the redstone features like radiane cache is nowhere to be seen and is on August. Instead of catching up it feels like AMD give up on the 9070 XT
>>109652262Witcher 3 already has a next gen remaster why does it need another? This like making the third Sonic Adventure port each one keeps getting worse.
>>109652227You're a stale meme
>>109652276Because RT without RR or pathtracing look last gen, just look at Resident Requiem or Cyberpunk. If you play on an AMD card with RT is like playing on ps5 graphics
>>109652262CDProjekt Red has had a cozy relationship with NVIDIA since the original Witcher 3 was under development.
>>109652276How else would we enjoy the same old games but with ever increasing computational requirements?
>>109652228amd bios issues are cope for intel users who bought the fx cpus of this generation. intels i226-v has currently also issues on both windows and linux. my realkek 2.5gbe nic does not.
>>109652309At this point i think AMD just give up on gamers
>>109652226It probably has questionable or mediocre build & image quality.Some of these cheaper monitors fail to reach even 95% sRGB color space.
>>109652324
>>109652325AMD sponsors actual good games. CDProjekt is eurojank slop. UE5 is also americanjank slop.
>>109652325CoD the #1 game in the world has a 30% something advantage lead on 9070xt over 5080.
>>109652325The gamers AMD GPUs can attract are frugal (low margin) customers, anti-NVIDIA, & Linux gamers.They'll upgrade FSR features when the PS5 Pro or next gen consoles need something similar.
>>109652376AMD is for esports gamers. Nvidia is for oooh ahhh grafix monkeys. The latter has a CPU bottleneck so hard it affects latency and fps.

The barrier to 2160p high refresh rate gaming... In the palm of my hand... If I'm okay with 300 nits and 99% sRGB that is... in which case I might need to evaluate options at 300 dollars...

>>109652329Build quality is secondary to me compared to panel quality. I have spare VESA stands.https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd500839-lenovo-legion-27u-10-overviewThis one for example is $100 cheaper than the Gigabyte M27UP that HUB recommended for SDR LCDs, and has 99% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 allegedly. My existing screen is 100-105% sRGB allegedly.
>>109652555Buy it, test it, & return it if you don't like it.
>>109652460The only 4K 160Hz monitors I've seen at the $300 budget are the Acer XB273K V5, and the PHILIPS Evnia 27M2N3800A/00. The former is from 2024 and gets you an extra 100 nits up to 400. The latter can allegedly a peak of 450 as opposed to 350 because of HDR400, but I also hear Philips monitors have quality issues even though it advertises 130% sRGB.I've also found at $270 an advertised 144Hz panel from IIYAMA, the G-Master GB2771UHSU-B1 27 which has some bold claims going for it including 450nits and 1500:1 static contrast on top of it which seems anomalous.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-ZMjD69Y5QIndeed, this video seems to demonstrate why specifications should mean nothing compared to real world tests. So far I've seen proper UFO and overshoot testing on the M27UP and the 27U-10 so those are the most known quantities.
>>109652714Found some tests on those other two monitors too with a quick search on YouTube in multiple languages.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QmdCyKWQKkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqWTStdeVKU
>>109652714pcmonitors.info makes the nicest monitor reviews I know ofhttps://www.youtube.com/@PCMonitors/videos
Values like 160Hz and 320Hz just mean that the monitor is overclocked, isn't it? Is it always the case that setting them to a value like 144Hz and 240Hz results in less ghosting and overshoot?
>>109652977Not always, just test yourself or buy RTNGS.
>>109652977They don't actually make panels like "This panel will be exactly 144Hz!", they just pick the highest common refresh the panel is capable of without too much ghosting or overshoot. Basically binning.
I ended up buying a 4k flagship oled and i literally do not experience any issues with text fringing or whatever and it works fine in a semi bright room

Sometimes AI can basically bypass antialiasing, and that's why it can seem to offer improvements, because antialiasing is very bad for you too.You want all antialiasing off, why?Because one pixel will go "hot" and you will see it as "motion", if say you are camping and someone very far off barely enters the view.anyway, bottom line: image improvers are for cinema, not for gaming.But I'll test you and prove you're not serious.

Just think of "AI" like DLSS as a very clever statistical approximation algorithm, which is, in essence, no different from many computer graphics algorithms which take shortcuts in order to output something good enough in an expedient amount of time. You just brute forced it through training.But I do agree that they should be training DLSS and the likes using like 64K resolution downscaled to 32K, graphics are way too fucking blurry.
>>109653844>You know some stores fuck around with the settings to get people to buy costlier (or more profitable) displays.Bullshit, I checked every monitor on that shelf and they're all running stock settings or maximum brightness.

>>109654297That's what you get for being a waitfag.
>>109654297DLSS 5 won’t even run on the 5070. It’s going to be for the 5090 and 6000 series that have the hardware to run it. That’s why a Nvidia needed two 5090’s to run their demo, with an entire 5090 dedicated to the DLSS 5 pass and the other running the actual game. I guess they have it running on a single 5090 now, but I bet it doesn’t work worth a shit on anything below 24GB of VRAM with a beefy GPU.
>>109653661Something is really fucking wrong with the monitors on this shelf. That Acer on the bottom row has an alleged 250 nit brightness, yet it looks about the same as the 400 nit screen next to it, yet the 4k 300 nit screen looks darker than the 250 nit screen.>>109653844Maybe some fuckery is going on with the default settings being bad or whatever but this actually shouldn't be the case for desktop monitors. They won't put Mini LED screens on a row LCD's for example because the average customer cannot afford a $500 monitor, and the average customer who would buy a Mini LED (a gamer, so usually someone who is a teenager or in their early 20's) also can't afford it. They display the cheapest shit that actually sells and people can buy.l>>109654297So far the 5070 hasn't cost double because it's a 12GB GPU unlike a 3090, or 5070 Ti.

>>109654340I didn’t say shit about ray reconstruction 2. I’m saying that DLSS 5 is much more demanding than older versions, which are a different technology. Nvidia needs 1-2 of the most powerful $5000 GPU’s in the world to make DLSS5 work, it’s not happening on the lower end cards until next gen when they can put more dedicated hardware in them.
>>109654358Anon unfortunately it does not work like that. DLSS 5.0 is actually easier to run because it fully runs on the tensor cores using MLP shaders. You retards are the biggest joke i have seen and i will keep coming here to get some laughs
>>109654371Ok guess we’ll see, keep arguing with your imaginary strawmen. I can’t even fathom why you would be excited about having DLSS5 in the first place, it looks like shit. Just a bit of advice, if you’re going to keep getting lulz by shilling for Nvidia, you can make your posts more believable by shilling for tech that people actually care about, like machine-learning upscaling and frame gen, where Nvidia still holds an actual advantage.
>>109654355>let's be hopeful for a VRAM-saving technique which requires further overhead from a GPU that is already limited at running upscalingSorry Jensen, that's not very convincing

Are these good or dogshit temperatures for a 9800X3D with a cooling setup this elaborate? I have an NH-D15 G2 with 4 intake and 2 exhaust fans. In the test with 16 cores it gets undervolted from 5.2 to 5.1 GHZ. Idling and gayming temperatures are very low but high load stuff seems too high. I was surprised cause someone here ran the same 4-core test with a 7950X3D and got a Tctl of around 70 degrees. I want to upgrade to a 10950x3d if it ever comes out, will the same setup cut it or do I need a water cooler?
>>109654355>>109654456Damn that works good, textures that usually take 20MB compressed down to 4.5MB.
>>109654471Makes sense, 9000 is smaller node, gets hotter for the same wattage.
I'm looking for a 23.8" monitor and PCMonitors recommend a KOORUI GP01. But I notices it's more expensive than others. It's 289€ while other monitors with similar specifications are half the price (see pic related).I don't know what I'm missing, why is it that expensive (in comparison)? Do I have better options in that price range?
>>109654355This is going to fucking suck for AMD once games start using it.
>>109654507get the aoc
>>109654507The 23.8" 1440p may no longer be in production, or sold in limited quantities compared to 23.8" 1080p & 27" 1440p.
>>109654543isn't 1440p 27" horrible PPI?
>>109654471that guy was me btw
>>109654546It's fine, better PPI than 1080p 23.8".
>>109654471Heat density of Ryzen CCDs make them harder to cool, especially the instantaneous temperature spikes.And the IHS is pretty bad, sacrified performance for wider cooler mount compatibility.
>>109654471>>109654589That's why you should go AIO for those higher power 9000 chips.
>>109654351A couple years ago a 3060 Ti was 500 euro...
Is spending double the money of an SDR monitor to get the Mini LED counterpart with 1152 dimming zones really worth it?
>>109654528>>109654543Should I compromise anf get a 27" monitor?
>>1096545979800x3d isn't high power...
>>109654543The absence of 24" 1440p and 2160p monitors perplexes me, they used to be a thing. Now you need to buy a 5K monitor at 27 inches if you want that kind of PPI.
>>109654651It's a 120W part. 120 watts that's consecrated on literally three square centimeters.
Couldn't help but notice the RTX 3090 is getting sold around for almost twice what I paid for mine. I'm thinking to sell it and get something like an 7800xt or similar, as I couldn't care less about local AI and I'll have some money in my pocket. Thoughts?
>>109654644just get the aoc 24 inch 1440p nigga
>>109654568That figures, doesn't the 7950X3D have a max boost of 5.7? I thought you said you didn't undervolt it, I'm confused now. My 9800X3D always runs at the max boost of 5.2 and I don't think I changed any BIOS settings to make it do that.
>>109654638>miniled with that little zonesno, midiled makes sense for TVs not small panels where it will bloom
>>109654660concentrated*
>>109654668I'll use this monitor for the next 10+ years, I don't want to fuck it up.
>>109654653https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/viewsonic-vx24g26j-4k-launches-with-the-worlds-first-4k-resolution-23-8-ips-panel theres finally a 24 inch 4k high refresh rate monitor coming this year
>>109654644I didn't follow your convo but IMHO 27" is the perfect size for 1440p, if you wanna roll triple display like I do, don't go above 27" lmao.
>>109654686About god damn time. If there's anyone who would have done it, it'd be an OG like ViewSonic.
>>109654682even though aoc is a chink brand they at least have a presence in the west so you will at the very least get after sales support if something goes wrong. i cant say the same for the other no name brands like koorui and the rest
>>109654568after ~15 min with the phantom spirit 120i used to have a dark rock elite and the cpu would run at like 90°C>>1096546705.7ghz boost on the non x3d cores (i have them off)5.2ghz boost on the x3d coreswhen i put it under load it down clocks ofci could undervolt it to get 50mhz more out of it but i had usb issues from doing that and random instability of my computer not waking up or powering down properlythe system is rock stable without the undervolt so i keep it that wayin games it still boosts to 5.2ghz like it should
>>109652399oh thank god, I can play call of duty slop at 1080p dogshit settings WOW 1000fps!
>>109652399>>109654719Why did he post a CPU benchmark??
>buying top of the line hardware to play console shootersdo niggas unironically do this
>>109654638>1152 dimming zoneslol ANUS put like 2300 zones on their PROART monitors even they know that shit garbo
>>109654723Those are CoD competitive settings just like CS2 is using garbage settings for esports framerates and shows Nvidias CPU bottleneck hard.
>>109654736Your shit is dog shit bro shut up the fuck up
>>109654672But all the regular SDR LCD's that are 4K and have high refresh rates look so horrible, dim and poor viewing angles. Even if it doesn't have the most dimming zones, it should at least be bright.
>>109654762consolebab
OLED hit 720Hz this kills the pulsar
>mini LED >valueoh no no no HUB bros...
>>109654790Is there even a HDMI or DP standard that can do 720Hz at 4k?
>>109654777lcd's have always been shit
>>109654803VA chad here.
>>109654803Yes, 20 years later and still no full replacement for CRTs.
>>109654794that shit came out November 28, 2025 total trash miss me with all that LCD trash
Love my TCL miniled, would recommend. Goyledcattle need not reply
>>109654818cough coughVA chad here.
>>109654715with a lighter load
>>109654739>lol ANUS put like 2300 zones on their PROART monitorsYou do realize that Mini LED monitors currently top out at 2304 dimming zones? And that you only realistically have two choices between either $1200 monitor or a $500 monitor if you want that many?>>109654831Nothing better has been released since.>>109654811>>109654841VA is LCD, retard-kun.
What's the secret to affordable RAM? Can you like run some obscure server shit?
>>109654715>>109654859So if I'm only down-clocking .1 GHz when I artificially max out most of the cores it must be pretty good then. Why'd you change the dark rock elite, isn't that one better?
>>109654860>between either $1200 monitor or a $500 monitor if you want that many?Those being?
>>109654860>VA is LCDThere is no panel but LCD, and VA is the one true variant.
3080ti in 2026?
>>109648131Hardware used to be fun...
>>109654924coming up to september this was the beginning of the ram going crazy last year 1 whole year and it never got better in fact it's worse than ever and every single month got worse and more component got more unavailable this is the worst year i've ever seen for pc building when gpus went to shit during crypto i could at least get into home server shit and projects and now a raspberry pi costs fucking $300
>>109654883i found the dark rock elite to be kinda shit (it came with the system). it performs fine on 13th gen but not on am5 from benchmarks. i bought the whole computer for very cheap but the tjmax of the cpu is like 89°C (unlike the 95°C on the 9800X3D) and my cpu was hitting that all the time when compiling shaders and rendering. i looked up reviews and the dark rock elite isn't all that good on am5 cpus and loses to the much cheaper phantom spirit 120 because of the heat pipe layout. i bought it for like 35€ to replace it and it lowered my cpu temps by a lot and made the system also much quieter. i also don't mind running the 7950X3D with only 8 cores because i bought the whole system for the same price of a new at the time 7700X.

The level of trolling/denial in here from AMD fans >>109653964 is crazy
lol
>>109655041Spoiler: They all keep using their oled monitors and refuse to buy anything else
>>109655011high resolution isn't for gaming, it's for "vibing"
>>109655059A game running at lower resolution on a high PPI monitor will still look better
does anybody have experience with these no-name 90 degrees extension cables you can get on amazon?i have an ap201 case and a corsair rmx psu and the bend in the internal extension is making me anxious.i don't reckon some case makers sell these things themselves?
>>109655070>look bettermuh vibes
>>109655117Thanks for confirming the OLED hate is all poorfag coping.
>>109655133>I can't afford a Zowieaha
>>109655174Can't hide your shame.https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/109648131/#109655133
>>109655133Only retards would buy a new monitor every two years.
>>109655210Very few OLED display owners would need to replace it that often, 3 year burn-in warranty is standardized.You wouldn't know because you can't afford one.
>>109655231>doesn't even refute itThanks.
anons...
>>109655192I don't have any izzat, I'm not indian, I'm white.
>>109655247Burn-in warranty lasts for at least 3-years, there's literally 0 need to buy "a new monitor every two years" even if burn-in becomes a serious issue for that person.This topic was settled years ago; keep your existing LCD monitor for static content heavy programs & games if you're paranoid about burn in.This guy is just coping because his aging parents refuse to buy him an OLED display, and he's worthless to buy one on his own.
if my nvidia geforce gtx 1070ti got a new thermal paste (so freshly applied arctic mx-4 cooler in this case), will this extend its lifespan by a few years or does it constantly need to be changed
>>109654546No, it's good enough for gay men.
>>109655269again, 1000hz...
>>109655301is your oled 1000hz?
>>109655304>does it constantly need to be changedPastes will pump out overtime and will need replacing.Consider Kryosheet or other carbon pads if you want a permanent solution.There's also phase change TIM like PTM7950.
>>109655319OLEDs only have to worry about S&H blurring, they are instant response otherwiseyou're better off with a Pulsar panel than a 1000Hz panel when it comes to LCDs
>>109655319Most game engines don't even support 1000 FPS rendering.I prioritize image quality over raw refresh rate.
>>109654021DLSS runs fine on my 4090.

1100hz overclocked, btw, as shown here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLVrq7hv-Oc
>>109655344Enjoy your stuttering Radeon frametimes & dogshit input latency.
>>109655332>>109655334I'm sorry, I'm an agentic coder, not some snailcat.
>>109655349>>109655356You don't even own that 1000Hz monitor, you're literally coping.
>>109655369kek
>>109655269
1100hz is pretty much basic Agentic Engineer at this point YOOL 2026.
>>109655327no I mean will it be good for like 2-3 years or do I need to constantly replace it every 6 months, that kinda stuff. I know it's not permanent.
>>109655349wtf is this shit
>>109655419Should be fine for years
>>109655419Good pastes like MX7 or Duronaut should last at least 5~6 years.Undervolt the GPU to reduce the intensity of thermal expansion & contraction (pump out).
I know I'm out of the loop, but what I chose, HDMI 2.1 or Displayport when both options are available?
>>109655433It's just the best monitor ever created, sirs
>>109655516I mean why does the fucking UFO look like an AI gen from 2021.
>>109655508DisplayPort unless HDMI provides higher refresh rate.
>>109655516obsoleted by strobing techniques, get your well defined moving objects at 60Hz, sirs!
>>109654175They're affordable enough to try one out for yourself.Visit a display showroom, and buy it from a retailer with a customer friendly return policy.Avoid the cheaper 200 nits maximum SDR brightness models unless your room is fine with it.
Why do TVs STILL not have displayport as a standard feature?
>>109655775>>109655775>>109655775
>>109655792Adding DisplayPort controllers to TV SoC makes those TVs less price competitive.There's not enough PC gaming customers who need DP on HDR TVs to justify the cost.
