  1. I'm looking for a portable mic that I can use at home and at school. I play for my college's esports team and am constantly taking my audio equipment and peripherals with me to play at the school so I need something portable with good sound quality and the ability to tune the pick up so there is a minimal amount of echo when 5 of us are yelling call outs. I currently run Astro A50's, which I love, but Ive had them for 7 years and with the amount of traveling I'm going to do with them I fear they are going to break at some point. I have already decided to use Bose QC20's for my audio replacement but I need help selecting a mic because I'm not super experienced in what is out there other than mics like the Rode NT-USB and Blue Yeti. Thanks for the help and let me know if more info is required.
  2. I have determined that my graphics card is probably starting to go bad since I switched it out with a 660 I had laying around and the problem hasn't come back.
  3. It was working fine while under continued use. I went and ate dinner and came back to the screen turned off like it would be if I had the "Turn Screen Off after X time" function running (which I dont). When I hit a key on the mouse the display turned back on but once I stated opening windows the display cut to black, came back on it kept cutting to black if anything moved on the screen. I restarted my computer and was greeted by the 1280x720 small screen (same as the picture from the first post).
  4. It's working for now. If it breaks again I'll be back.
  5. Hi All, Within the last 2 weeks I've been plagued with a problem where on boot my monitor will display in 1280x720 at 100hz but the image is not stretched across my monitor it's displaying that image in the center of the monitor and only using those pixels (see picture). On some restarts it will display 1920x1080 (like it's supposed to) but it then only runs at 100hz and wont go any higher. I've been able to temporarily fix it by only running 1 monitor and unplugging and then plugging the monitor in coupled with restarting my computer. This issue is now permanent when I run this 1920x1080 monitor with my 4k monitor. This morning I also started having the issue where when running 2 monitors my 1920 monitor would display a black screen then come back on and then repeat whenever I moved a window on either monitor. System: CPU: AMD 5800x GPU: RTX 2080 with a minor overclock Monitors: BenQ XL2420Z (1920x1080 1ms 144hz) LG 27GN950-B (4k 1ms* 144hz)
  6. Thanks for the help, updating the bios was the issue.
  7. Lovely, do you know what CPUs are supported in that bios version?
  8. There's a white sticker next to the ram slot that has the serial number on it and a number at the end reading 2407. Is that the bios version?
  9. I'm not sure what bios is on it since I can't boot into bios and if I'm not mistaken I can't flash a new bios unless it posts. EDIT: Based on the serial number sticker on the motherboard there is a 2407 number at the far right side. Is that the bios version that was loaded onto the board? Thank you for the suggestions. If my friend's ram that is compatible works, I'll probably pick up that corsair ram you listed.
  10. On Corsair's website it says it's optimized for both AMD and Intel. I bought the ram and motherboard at the end of October. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK32GX4M2D3600C18
  11. Hi all, I have an Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini ITX motherboard with an AMD 5800x, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16gb 3600mhz, and EVGA 2080. When I finished building it and went to turn it on, it didn't post and the gpu fans were running at 100%. I checked the post lights and the dram right was lit up. So far I've reseated the ram several times, reseated the gpu, reseated the cpu, and ran 1 ram stick in each of the 2 slots. The ram should still be good since I was using it 2 days ago in my intel system that I am upgrading from. I contacted asus support and they said my ram wasn't listed on the compatible ram spec sheet (I'm calling major cap) and couldn't help me until I sourced compatible ram. My ram part number is CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18. Please help, I'd like to get back to gaming asap.

  12. I stream using NDI from my gaming computer to my streaming computer. When I have OBS idling on my gaming computer I get around 20fps less in Rainbow Six Siege than if I didn't have OBS open. I run R6 at all low setting and get anywhere from 100 to 120 fps with OBS running and 130-150 with OBS not running. I've attached my OBS settings, R6 settings, NVIDIA control panel settings, and an internet speed test. I have both computers wired to a router. If you need more info let me know but imo with my current hardware and in game settings I should easily be getting 180+ fps with OBS running. Gaming Computer Specs: i7-7700k RTX 2080 16gb ddr4 ram (2x8) Thank you.
  13. Thanks for the info, if no one comes up with some dslr software that will be a good backup option.
  14. I'm a cheap college student and would like to use my Canon T3i that I already own as a webcam for Skype calls (yeah yeah I know Skype's a shit platform but I don't really have a choice and I already own the camera). There is another thread, DSLR Camera Software, that asked a similar question and the people commenting on that gave me the same info a quick google search would give me. I also don't want to use a hardware solution because it will take too long to be delivered and it costs money. So far I have tried: EOS Utility Tool - just a live previewer Canon Photo Professional - current version doesn't work with my camera (or I didn't get it to work) DigiCamControl - just a live previewer Sparkocam - Worked great but had a big ass watermark, and not one of those ignore-able water marks, like top middle of the screen all the way across water marks Is there any free software out there that isn't listed above that turns my Canon into a webcam?
