    Oneplus 7 pro case suggestion?

    in Phones and Tablets

    Posted

    i am upgrading to the oneplus 7 pro from an iphone se. I want a decently rugged case that will protect the screen, corners and back of the case.

     

    i have looked at al ot and notice that it seems hard to protect the sides of the screen due to its curved nature, but if this is possible I appreciate this focus. I also am interested in a rubber/pastic case and am honestly okay with a decent amount of bulk, just looking for good build quality and protection. cost is not an issue as long as it is not over $70 or so. thanks for the help.

     

    P.S. - plastic screen protectors seem to be trash generally so i would prefer less crappy plastic screen protectors, but i am not absolutely opposed.

     

    THANKS

    And yet it has no OTP and no OCP. It's also an old, group-regulated unit, meaning if you load one of the rails (+5V or +12V), either one or both will go out of spec.

     

    At this point, you should know never to buy a product by brand.

    fair point

    ryzen might be cheaper, as long as they aren't trying to hit 144 fps+ should be more than capable. Also probably worth considering that z370 looks to be a single gen chipset, if upgradeability is a consideration

    so this is the kind of guy who buys a computer uses it until it dies and buys a new one. is the cheaper pricepoint for possible upgrades worth it if he probably never will? also how big is the gap in performance between the 1600 and the 8400? if mobo costs go down which do you think is better

    The goal for this build is to be able to play any game at decent to high settings at 1080p. the price point is around $800. I personally know he can go a little higher for something that will last a long time.

    here is the build let me know any suggestions thx!

     

    P.S. - this build wont happen for a couple of weeks so a different mobo is likely to be used as this one is just the only one released right now.

    Jaybird x3 vs Bose soundsport wireless

    I have the soundsports and I love them. From what I've seen with reviews, the soundsports have a slightly better sound quality. However the Jaybirds have an app where you can fine tune the sound profile if you want to do that.

    Thanks for the help, my initial thought was the Bose cause most of the time their sound is better but i probably will get whichever one I can find cheaper.

    Are these ergonomic mice? I like mice that have curves and such for resting fingers in, like the mice a have now, but maybe these other ones are with a shot too?

    they are not particularly ergonomic if i am honest ( i do own one and use it as my regular mouse). However it is a tall enough mouse that a user does not have to hold their fingers up as long as they have a small to medium size hand. It does support more of a claw gripstyle in general, and is in general a slightly more minimalistic deathadder 2013

    I am using the reddragon mammoth as my every day mouse but would like to get another mouse that would be for traveling - I like the ergonomics of the mouse i am using now as a point of reference.  I dont have a need for any lights or frills on the new one - maybe a couple extra/programmable buttons, but thats it. Aiming for under $30 if possible, thanks!

     

    save up just $10 more and get a steelseries rival 100 imho

    I have a GTX 280 that was given to me and recently upgraded my screen to a 4K monitor, i just play simple games on it but can't play anything else on it at native resolution.

     

    I have a Seasonic 620w PSU, a Core i7 930, and 12GB DDR3.

     

     

    what are you doing with the old 280?

    have red dragon powercolor radeon rx 480 and i cant click it in all the way to my motherboard h11om-a m.2

    this is my first time building a pc and im getting frustrated is there anything im missing? im 100% sure its lined up

    make sure you have the tab on the right side pushed all the way to the right, then slowly apply more and more pressure. It can take a good bit of pressure which can be scary

    I've been looking through a lot of laptop building companies, and holy shit they want a lot of money. Before I go and buy one, I'd want to see this communities' opinions. I am doing this as a build and a discussion to gain your insight with specific companies.

     

    Companies I've completely scratched off my list:

    • Alienware - Ridiculously cheap; my ex-girlfriend dropped it and caught it in mid-air, a huge piece on the side that was literally touching nothing fell off...
    • Xidax - Overpriced as hell.

    Companies I am considering are in the poll.

     

    Budget: $3000

    i would also mention ncix pcs

    Hey everyone,

     

    I am building a new PC and need help settling on a GPU. My current PC has a Windforce GTX 960 installed. My new PC will be based off a MSI Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard with an intel i5-6500 Sylake Quad-Core CPU.

    Should I stick with the 960 I currently have, or should I consider a new card, and what are my best options? Preferably something around the $300 or less mark, but I can put some extra into it if necessary. Thanks for the advice! 

    if you arent having any issues with your current card keep it, then if you can buy a better display and gpu when you want a better resolution or refresh rate

    Hello LTT forums!

     

    I have a question about MSI's gtx 1080 X and my motherboard(MSI B85-G43 GAMING). Will these two hardware components function with each other, or will there be any problems that any of you know about? This might be a very stupid question but since I'm fairly new to the computer hardware world I genuinely don't know. I can go into more detail on my system if necessary.

     

    Help is very much appreciated, thanks! :)

     

     

    yes because both of them use the pcie connector gen 3
