IDK anything about them... they probably gib cheap VA panels and brand them Cooler Master. Cooler Master monitor is... I mean a company that focused primarily on cooling products... funny and funky at the same time. Get a more real monitor, LG, Acer or maybe Asus. Make it IPS, while at it. Oh, I mean... an Iiyama Prolite. Yes sir, they have great presence in "$300 european" echelon.

I agree, but having been a long time player and buried many hours into it, I am desperate to gain some valuable frames stability... Even more when I see similar or even worse setups than mine running the game stable 300+ fps in any maps or scenarios...

You know what is good about EK? I mean sorry I take that back, the only good thing out of the tens if not hundreds of watercooling stuff they created? The Cryofuel you mix with distilled water... it's the only EK you should have in your loop you spent your hard earned hundreds, work and time on... yeah, I can't think much else...

You don't say what the make and model of laptop it is. However from the specs there should be no problems installing Linux Mint with the cinnamon desktop. I've done over 50, if desktops are included over 100 installations. You don't say whether it has a hard disk or SSD. If the former, replace with an SSD. You need to burn the Linux iso to a USB stick and then boot the laptop from the USB stick. You can do tests running it before installing. As said, Brave works perfectly on Linux. Internet connection problem - via a plug in cable or WiFi? Certainly I've never had problems with cable connection.

Pubg is a poorly optimized game. Sorry for what you are experiencing.

The only coolant I use from anyone ever is clear, which has never been a problem from EK or anyone I can look at all my stuff and see zero finish issue on them. Design well maybe, maybe not but that last time that ever made a real difference was basically never anyway. The two biggest factors when it comes to water cooling is price and aesthetics, anyone saying otherwise is being dishonest to themselves and whoever they are saying it to (exceptions always exist but this is the majority). And one of the biggest reasons to buy from EK is they have options nobody else have, which is all obviously subjective choice on what you actually want because you don't actually have to get that thing anyway. But if I'm going to buy one thing from X company then I'm going to buy everything else from them because I'd rather only deal with one and then also ensure everything used is the same metals, coatings and finishes. P.S. Yes I have opened by blocks to check and clean more than once so I know they have no issues.

I'm gonna go for the unusual recommendation of an IEM and microphone combo because I don't like over-ear headphones + IEMs are a much better sound quality value + I love the upgraded sound quality of using a dynamic microphone. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/7hz-x-crinacle-zero-2-iem-review.50534/ https://www.amazon.com/Linsoul-7Hz-Crinacle-Zero-Earphones/dp/B0CMZVZPCF https://www.amazon.com/FIFINE-Microphone-Podcasting-Voice-Over-AmpliGame-AM8T/dp/B0C74GYW3J or here's a microphone replacement cable https://www.amazon.com/Detachable-Silver-Plated-Microphone-Audiophile-Replacement/dp/B09TLBGQLB/

HD 25 Light, or full head band aka non-light, Plus or no plus vanilla bare model HD 25... which slaps on the skull better. All three are about as epic as a loud headphone that is easy on the ears gets. As the old saying goes... in a live DJ situation, often times for the fan of the HD 25, the only thing that replaces a HD 25... is another HD 25. It's very good at high volume situations and situationally, ranging from music to playing instruments... it's just... a very good headphone. Don't even talk about gaming headsets or I no gib you headphone advice. xD

Thank You for thinking along! Both I and my friend have done about 20 pulls, and similar patterns are drawn over and over again. All the pulls are also done in Team Deathmatch, which is like 5 minutes of 20 players on a small area. I mean it is just odd that the GPU thinks that okay, my holy father is playing on low settings, so I don't have to do anything also. But still I am not even 100% sure, that the missing FPS is the fault of GPU load decreasing... I have also tried clocking to 5Mhz, but the result is pretty much the same...

Hello I have an Asus ROG gl764g that is not powering on, no leds light up when the charger is connected. No sound, light, etc when pressing the power button. Changing the battery did nothing. I began to measure the voltages because I suspect one of the mosfets to be faulty. On picture I wrote down the voltages in V and mV. I also checked for continuity (maybe shorts) to the ground and when present indicated it with blue color of the voltages, otherwise its green. I also found some schematics of a similar board and it should be the same. I need help diagnosing the exact faulty piece. Thanks

Oh sorry, if I was unclear - it is DDR4. I previously had TridentZ DDR4-3600 CL16 - but this was too slow. So I loaned a kit of Ripjaws DDR4-4600 with CL19 and gained like 40-50 avg fps... PUBG is crazy about RAM as it is so poorly optimized game... And getting low latency/high speed RAM in Europe is a headache. I wont even start talking about getting a RAM with Samsung B-die stone inside of it...

For the record, https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Gaming-Headset-Blue-Technology/dp/B07PDFBJZD This is Gen 2. The $250 option you linked is the wireless version. I actually owned those and now just use them at work for general audio/Teams calls. It comes with USB DAC that can be used directly with Windows or with their terrible GHUB software. Or just pull off the DAC and plug it into your existing 3.5mm audio ports. The option cloth ear cups that come in the box are quite nice. I've not owned the HyperX line but handling them they feel very similarly built.

Depends on the specific panel and what's specifically being portrayed. I'll try to explain this below... On my specific 1440p monitor the majority of games look excellent but a few games you can notice a blur distortion when putting this 1440p monitor in 1080p fullscreen. A quick fix for this blur distortion in these few games when attempting 1080p resolution is to play in windowed mode with the black bars on top and bottom of the display. Ever since I upgraded from a 1060 to a 1070 though I don't ever need to run games in 1080p resolution. So for you, at 4K games are going to eat your fps simply because there's way more pixels to render than 1440p so instead of upgrading your CPU and GPU or downscaling to 1440p(where the blur distortion will show up in some games) I'd recommend buying a cheap 1440p 160-180 Hz monitor and use your 4K monitor as your second display. Here in the US you can find a great price of literally $150-$170 for a 1440p 160-180 Hz IPS monitor. In the mean time, try more games at 1440p on your current 4K monitor. Some games you will find to look excellent and not have the blur distortion, but keep in mind that all monitors are different when it comes to downscaling. Another thing is that certain games that you may have played on certain TVs with certain systems(whether it was a PC or a console) look even better on certain 4K displays because all displays also upscale differently, especially with certain consoles/systems. For example, I remember being completely blown away at how much better Battlefield 1 looked on my 4K monitor using a regular Xbox One S than it did on my 4K TV and one reason is because of how well the Xbox One S upscaled the specific game known as Battlefield 1. Try this link and this link to see one aspect I just mentioned above when it comes to 4K upscaling. There's an enhancement and then there's a form of upscaling, which are two different things. And there's also HDR support. It's these types of technologies that make what you see on different displays at different resolutions... different. So what I see on my displays might be completely different than what you see on yours.

Dunno sh#t about PUBG, I'm a boomer lol, but I see 4600MT RAM, it's super slow for DDR5...

The Logitech G Pro X's seem like the best option for me at the moment, although I would have to get Gen 1, as Gen 2 is $250 from what I can find. Let me know if there are any Issues/Better Options than these, and thank you all for the Suggestions I should have probably added a Couple things to the Original Post, but I'll add them here: Closed Back is Preferred These are for Gaming, Basic Music (Not Seeking Studio Quality/High Fidelity), and watching Videos Absolutely no Wireless Features or Annoying Extra Software

@igormp Cruse control directly interferes with the vehicle speed and breaks. This is kind of important to not screw up and with some Arduino platform packages I experienced noticeable bugs in the past that could have hurt or killed somebody if combined with a car suddenly accelerating or going all in on the breaks. There are just way better options on the market. To provide two examples: Zephyr and RT-Thread

Again, a person doing a hobby project wouldn't meet those requirements no matter what, be it using arduino or any other platform, so that point you're making is moot. In tons of places outside of the EU you can customize that kind of stuff without needing to do any kind of inspection lol

Use DX11E, try DX12, avoid DX11 cause it can't use more than 4 cores. Update your drivers, firmware, bioses/vBioses, ... Disable MPO.

Can't really compare that as both systems are wildly different. I get what you're saying with the avg FPS being higher on your friends PC but that can be a run to run variance as I mentioned the game performance varies wildly depending at which stage of match youre in, where on map you're located and how many people are nearby. You would have to test the identical scenario every single time to make a more fair comparison as you can have like 50FPS+ run to run variance in PUBG depending on how you test it. His GPU is slower so he will be pushing it harder and thus will have higher GPU usage most of the time than you. His CPU is basically the same as yours. The extra cores you have are not really relevant for PUBG and you will hardly notice a 100MHz difference in boost performance.

Philips Fabric shaver: I of course use my own rechargeable Batteries and not this green washing Scam of Single use Batteries: For 30 Bucks this thing is amazing. Just tested it out on my LTT Underwear since I had a lot of those Stupid fabric pills on the elastic strap on all of my pairs and now they're like new. Handy little tool, glad I finally bought one.
