>Windows desktop for gaming>macbook pro for work>two (possibly three) monitorsany tips for a good kvm switch setup? I've spent tons of hours doing research and there doesn't seem to be a good switch that supports this setup easily. My current idea is>Caldigit thunderbolt docker for macbook>hook up the dock to a kvm switch>hook up the desktop to the kvm switchbut now I have to spend like $700 for this setup and I don't even know if it will work wellI want to be able to connect my macbook to one thunderbolt cable and switch between it and the desktop with one button

why is the klevv with a lower speed more expensive? it has a cas latency of 28 vs 32 for the faster one, is that more important?
>>110097636>is that more importantOnly if you're not too retarded to know that lower CAS is better if all else is equal.
>mfw no wife to buy me a 5090
>>110097674my point is the speed isn't equal and i'm wondering why the price is prioritising latency first
>>110097636Im guessing its 6400cl32 vs 6000cl28 so the cl28 one has lower latency. Also Klevv ram is most likely Hynix A die.
Why is the Innocn GA27T1M not available in EU?

discord is such a garbage performative app. imagine living your entire life wearing a mask. how fucking exhausting. i refuse to do anything that makes me pretend anymore. i'm serious. see, alan watts was like "what if the ego is a game, and not that serious?" Okay...well if it's a game and not that serious, why don't I just drop the ego?!""y-you can't get rid of the ego" maybe not entirely but you can drop the mask.
Wasting money on overpriced PC parts when mobile is the future. That future is here now. Gaming, general computing, development, everything can be done mobile now. 8/10 homes don't even own a PC anymore. The chuds who do and actually use them on a regular basis are a tiny tiny TINY fraction of the consumer market. In 5 years you don't be able to build a PC. Just get a phone like a normal person.

Asked about this in /fglt/ and figured I'd ask something semi-similar. >>110097736In the event that it isn't a software issue but a hardware issue of some kind where my headphones play a bit of static that while low is still noticeable. How do I fix it? How do I check pieces of hardware that might be the culprit? Is there something cheap I can buy that remedies this problem to have crisp audio?Lastly what is a good USB microphone (less than 80 CDN) I can get off Amazon? Been using Fifine, but when my mic becomes unbearable I might move from it.I need to test it to see if it is usable for voice overs or stuff like that.

>>110097936There's no single "static off" switch in Plasma, but check these in order:>System Settings > Sound > DevicesPick the "Headphones" port, then set Profile to "Analog Stereo Output" only so the mic input isn't active at the same time.>Keep volume at or under 100%Anything above amplifies the noise floor. Turn up the app volume instead.>Open a terminal and run alsamixerPress F6 to pick your sound card, then press M to mute Mic, Mic Boost, Line, Line Boost and Loopback Mixing. Set Auto-Mute Mode to Enabled. This is the most common "hidden switch.">Disable idle power savingAdd this to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and reboot:options snd_hda_intel power_save=0About the fifine: hearing your typing and PC hum through the headphones is probably not a fault. Most fifine mics have direct monitoring on the headphone jack, so you hear everything the mic picks up. Turn down the monitor/mix knob if it has one, or lower the mic gain.If the static survives all of that, it's hardware. Motherboard jacks pick up noise from the GPU and PSU. The fifine sounds cleaner because it has its own USB audio chip. A cheap USB DAC or a ground loop isolator should fix it.

>>110099428>Women are not really 'into' anythingThey seem to be really into abortions.
>>110099703No, lol. You plug one cable to the leg of the desk and it supplies power to up to 10 devices that you connect inside of the cable management tray. And because it's built into the desk none of the cables get dragged when you move the desk up and down.You want to what.. spend a few hours DIYing this shit yourself?

>>110101163Okay for wired, but if you want it for wireless dongles make sure it's USB 2, not USB 3.USB 3 has constant EMI at exactly 2.4GHz range, killing all the tiny dongles with antennae almost inside the port, next to unterminated extra wires.
>>110101180My monitor doesn't have usb slots. Don't wireless devices still need usb for dongles? The idea is basically to put all three on one motherboard slot so I free two slots for other stuff.>>110101218Thanks for the tip, I plan to swap mouse and controller to wireless.

>>110101824so 10 5090s got stolen?
>>110101554well anyone with a 6800+ "made it" 6 years ago as all the amd gpus had 16gb options, it was only nvidia putting 6 and12gb on its lines because fuck you. and the amd gpus aged far better. even if they are worse at processing real time lighting it doesnt matter much when even 12gb gpus are hitting ram limits in some games now. still mad you cant get consumer HBM gpus, r9nano and vega64 were great after tweaking the power profiles.

>>110102622Just use two daisy chained 6+2 if your 9070xt has three 8-pins
>>110102638Ok, and I just noticed that I typed 5090 the second time instead of 9070xt. Oops. And thanks, anon. The manual made it sound like the thing was going to explode if I used didnt use three dedicated cables.
I've been sitting on a 12700K + 32gb DDR4 + Z690 since 2022 and I think it's time to upgrade. Already have an RTX 5080 and will likely keep it for at least a couple more years.What are the better options? Do I need to waste a thousand bucks on overpriced RAM if I want to have 64gb? Is buying CPU + Mobo + RAM bundles the only reasonable choice at the moment?
>>110102739your only upgarede is a 13900 or 14900 lolimagine doing anything else until ddr6its over
>>110102739nova lake
>>110102739nova lake in jan/feb, i would buy ddr5 right now though prices will get worse
>>110102886won't the chinks up production?
>>110102899they already have but they are charging the same prices, sk hynix/samsung/micron fabs are expected to be up and running by 2030 so its at least another 5 years of this
>>110102739do you need 64gb
>>110102909damn, guess i'll hope my ddr4 system lasts till then. wonder what happens if my ram dies since it has lifetime warranty.
>>110102739Stay on DDR4. Wait for Raptor Lake Re-refresh news.>if I want to have 64gb?Don't buy more RAM if you don't need it.
>>110102739shoulder the cost of 48/64gb of ddr5 once and then get zen6 next yearddr4 is a dead end if you already have 12th gen. 14th gen and raptorlake next (aka 14.5th gen) aren't much better than the 12700k you already have
why do they only put 1 hdmi port on these bitches ffs
Can I get away with a single 1TB on a modern PC? These storage prices are awful
>>110103169If you carry over your existing SSDs & HDDs, sure.
>>110103099everyone hates hdmi. it costs money to even use them. the chinese gpus dont have a hdmi port instead they have a dp to hdmi dongle.
>>110103169just get a 4tb hdd as well and just put eveything that doesnt need ssd speeds on it
>>110103201unfortunately most monitors dont have dp2.1 so hdm2.1 is the only way to get enough bandwidth for high refresh rates without dsc
>>110103232Yeah I am forced to use hdmi 2.1 on my alienware because they didnt include dp 2.1.
>>110103169yep, you can always put stuff on an external hdd if you mustyou dont actively need more than 1tb of stuff on nvme
>>110103099Get an asus tuf, strix or astral GPU. Those come with 2 HDMI ports
>>110103412these are also the most expensive gpus.
>>110103267nta but my steam installs alone total 750GB...
>>110103570Not all of those games need to run on SSDs.
>>110103570 you dont actively play all steam gamessome games you finished playing you will never play ever again before you die and can readily deletsome games you might play after a gpu upgrade to see path tracing, but you could just reinstall them at that point in time
pcpartpicker gotta stop listing a price when it IS OUT OF STOCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
The 5080 24GB only makes sense if the 5090 sticks around If the 5090 is gone it is fucked
I'm getting rid of my phone since proton doesn't require a phone number and I can do everything I need on a PC.I used to want bitches but I just don't need one anymore. So no phone is necessary.
>>110103088>shoulder the cost of 48/64gb of ddr5 once and then get zen6 next yearAre any significant improvements expected for Zen6?
>>110103909core bumps8c to 12c16c to 24c
>>110103099cuz they have to pay a fee for every hdmi port unlike display ports which are royalty-free
DP2.1 adding $400 to every monitor is a goddamn joke
>turn on hag filter>lose 70 fps>all for the low low price of 5000 dollars
>>110101802yes things might have changed but usually gpu driver uninstall was what was done in early 2000s
>>110102096idk if product text says gaming and you game is good product text says productivity and you edit pictures and video is good etc
>>110104252W-What?
What's a good ratio of RAM vs VRAM for a build for local inference?Do I want 64GB of RAM or am I better off adding another GPU?
>>110104368you want 64gb of ram
>>110104368As much VRAM as possible and 64GB is minimum tbqh
>>110104216thanks for answering. guess i'll uninstall the old drivers then
>>110104368512 is the minimum these days
>>110099853literally me
this gen was really day today huh
>>110104368If you don't have at least 1tb why are you even building a pc?
If I was French I'd have a looted 5090 by now
Anyway the college girl I had a fling with 3 years ago and genuinely liked added me back on Discord and we talked for a little but I deleted her. And deleted Discord.She's not tangible. She's not real. I will never get with her and I had to be free. The thing is, I still like her. But I got to thinking. I was like, "Why am I so fixated on this girl I had sex with when I don't even talk to my friend that I knew for 17 years?" And I really don't talk to the guy. Haven't spoken to him in years.I am able to let go of things because it's not worth holding on.

I ended up never playing anything on my rig. My apartment is too fucking small and I don't make crazy money. Maybe in a month I could drop the money but I got other priorities.I would just swap to a mini gaming rig the same of a GameCube if I could link my hard drive to it.Idk, /vent over.

Sup /g/I'm looking for a new monitor but I am unsure which one to buy. For the moment I'm thinking of getting the AOC U27G4XM as the 1080p mode would help my broke ass a lot since I am still rocking a rtx 2060 so I cannot play vidya at 4k. Is that shit any good or should I look for something else? Thx.
>>110104683only jews know that joke.
>>110104778idk option one sounds reasonable>and lights up my apartmentwdym does your components all have gay rgb stuff?
>>110104842i have an aoc monitor. a 1080p one though but with 120hz and freesync. it works great. you should get something with adaptive sync/freesync i think it's a real good feature
>>110104863The AOC U27G4XM does seem to have adaptive sync so thx for mentioning that. Btw is your monitor 24 or 27 inches? I've only had 24 inch monitors so I am a bit iffy about jumping to a bigger monitor and I've heard mixed opinions about 1080p 27 inch monitors.The U27G4XM seemed like a good middle ground to me since it does both 4k (for everything else besides vidya) and 1080p. The HDR and miniLED features seemed nice too.

>>110104922i have this onehttps://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/ec6543ceand 1080p looks great on 27 inches. you gotta go even bigger for anything to be noticeable in 1080p i feel. but since it's an ips there will be some backglow if your screen brightness is turned way up. this is not anything distracting though. the hdr seems to work but i barely use it since the monitor brightness just explodes with that on, but i think that's just the nature of hdr
>>110104847I'm tight on space (live in a studio with my wife for now) and I kinda resent how big gaming PCs are in general. After building my own I realized every gaming rig is 80% empty space. Pisses me off. I think I'll just get a mini gaming PC. Like this. >>110104931>>110104934Might be a good option.
>>110104961>After building my own I realized every gaming rig is 80% empty space. Pisses me offthat's true but i am not so bothered by it. if anything it means more air and less having to worry about heat and fans and so on

I think there are objectively better ways to spend your life. There comes a point where you will permanently burn out from media. People will catch up to this idea eventually.
>>110104956>and 1080p looks great on 27 inches. you gotta go even bigger for anything to be noticeable in 1080p i feelThat's reassuring. As for the ips drawbacks I am quite used to them as I've been rocking a LG ips for 10 years now. Anyway if I don't like I can just return it. Thank you.
>>110105021Stop consuming fake time media start consuming real time media
>>110105015nta, but i had the same thought looking at some of the fractal cases, like the terra is so nice but it's m-itx only
I got the fara 313 type-c, and just waiting for memory and Nvme drive before I install graphics card, but was eager to get things put inside, Microatx cases are tiny and this is a pny 2 slot card. It'll all fit and I have 5 fans in all blowing when it's done.

steam is criminal for not giving it an x3d cpu to make up for the fact that they only give it to you with 1 (uno) ram stick (buy yourself the second one, goyim)
>>110105547The cpu is good enough (basically a 7500f) but the cut down laptop rx 7600 is the real offender
>>110105565yeah it is good enough but having x3d really helps with only having 1 ram stick

I love stress testing my PC.I am running the new MemTest86+ at the moment (v9.00).
i love asking
>>110105790didnt you ask this earlier already? >>110102622
>>110105902Ah, I see another anon had a similar question. Sorry for the redundancy. Just nervous about it since the manual says one thing and all that. But if I can use the two pigtails I'll go with that. Just don't know why they do not include more than two of em.
>>110105790should have bought a hellhound dual 8 pin.
>>110105980if you want the long answer. two cables + pigtail are in spec unless your PSU manual strictly says it's not. There is a very slim chance that for whatever reason the power draw is not even and the connector might melt on the PSU side but this is covered by the warranty.
DUDE NO WAY. I GOT MY ORDER OF DELTA GUMMIES TO GO THROUGH. MY CARD HAS BEEN FUCKED ONLINE FOR THE LONGEST TIME.I FINNA GET HIGH IN ABOUT 7 DAYS. YAAAAAY
>>110105980The better your PSU is, the less you have to worry about the pigtail cables potentially fucking things up.Use at least two separate cables.Don’t try to connect a 2x 8pin power connection using one pigtailed cable unless the PSU manual or company rep says that is safe.
>>110106042Nice
>>110106062Right now i have both pigtails plugged into it, but since the 9070xt I have has three plugs, one is just dangling there. So, I should be good then, right?
>>110106092You’ll be fine.Use the Adrenaline program to set a maximum power limit between 300~350W if you’re still worried.
>>110106102Thanks, anon. And for what it is worth, have this for the help.
