YAY! I am so happy. I've owned 3 pebbles in my life and I am still wearing my Pebble Time Steel every day! It was broken for a while and I started looking at different smartwatches and it's really depressing. Nothing does what I want like pebble. So I fixed my pebble, new battery and it's still going stronger than ever on my wrist! Super exited for this.

True, data can be affected, but in term of audio it's unlikely to be a constant hiss. With "it works or it doesn't" I meant the zeros and ones eighter arrive or don't (or flip) but you can not get a "bad zero" That makes sense. Its clear that the cable is badly shielded and picking up noise. I was thinking that this could not affect the audio in the cable but it can ofcourse affect the audio in the mixing desk itself, adding a noise. And then transporting the already noisy signal correctly to my computer. Anyway. The solution was a different cable and that work. Just intresting how it happend

That is correct for a headphone cable, because that is an analog signal. For all analog signals the quallity of cable absolutly matters. But in the case of USB it's digital. There is still a max length, if you go over the signal wont make it in tact so it does'n work. But the signal won't degrade. If the ones and zeros make it the audio sould be perfect. A digital cable works or it doesn't work. It can't impact quallity

Hi yall, I have a weird issue... I've got an allen&heath ZER14 audio mixing desk I use for recording microphones etc. It has a USB out (just the default USB audio Codec in windows). Becasue of where the PC is positioned I used a 5 meter USB B cable and when recording I got a notable high piched whine, even with all mic's muted. But when I swaped out the USB cable the noise was gone. Only with this one cable I get it. But as far as my understanding goes, that's impossible. It's a digital cable, 1s and 0s dont get noisy. So it works fine now, with a different cable but I like to understand how this is possible. How does a digital signal get noicy based on the cable? Are the snakeoil audio companies selling premium hdmi cables onto something?

Right! gameboys! I know flash was around back then, I hadn't seen it used as a boot device in a PC so old before. It's in very much an industrial video production machine, running things like PCI based SDI capture and output cards and 6 harddrives with special firmware in some non raid but raid-like mode to serve uncompressed video reading alternate frames from each drive because the speed of one drive would not be enough for video. So everything about it seems special, still I was surprised to find a flash boot device in there.

Came across this at work today in a very old machine. A 4MB sandisk drive from 1997, and yep! that's stolid state. That's so cool. Does anyone know how much that would have cost back in the day, must be A LOT. (also made in the USA, you don't get that anymore either)

did you get into the bios before the CMOS reset? That Mobo has indicator led's right above the 24pin power connector for RAM CPU VGA and BOOT. Do any of them light up? Those are for errorcodes

you can pass it through like any other gpu. But you will need a pcie gpu for your host in that case. you cannot share an iGPU

Bios might have a thermal limit set. For the CPU.

Could be a psu issue, could also be temps. Are the temps in you screenshot with a load on it? or at idle?

Does the RGB starts after you press the powerbutton or is it on as soon as you connect power?

Nope, it's a physical crack in your LCD. you can't fix that, only replace that

I am running a 4U rackmount case so I was planning a Noctua NH-D12L (low profile) which will fit and outperform a wraith cooler I assume? However a Wraith Prism would also be low profile and fit 4U. So that is an interesting thing to consider, since the Noctua cooler is around 100euro's that would mean a difference in total cost going with the nonX over the X

That's what I thought, So if I were to lower the TDP of the 7900X I'd get the same power and termal advantages as the 7900 Not just for gaming btw, bit of gaming, also video editing, bit of 3D and planning to run VM's under linux. That's why I am going for a 79xx over a 76xx

I am planning a new build and I was gonna go for a AMD 7900x CPU. but than the non-X series launched and having watched the LTT review they looked great! I am in Europe (the Netherlands) so power consumption matters right now, and I like how they run less hot. And what matters most: the price. MSRP of more than 100 dollars less. HOWEVER Here in the Netherlands, they are priced almost the same, like literally 7 euros difference for the X vs the non X. In some place the non-x is even MORE expensive. So now it just comes down to performance and power consumption. If they are the same price I assume I am better off with a 7900x right? And if I want the better efficiency I could just underclock it? and turn it into a 7900? Is there any reason to go for the non-X when they cost the same?
