Yeah. The x3700h does check all the boxes and so does the marantz sr6015 but being slightly more expensive.

Setting up a new home theater system soon and looking for some help on picking the AV receiver. This is my first setup and will look to do it proper, with a budget of around 15k AUD and don't really want to spend more than %30 of my budget on receiver if i could. 7.2.2 is the goal. Centre: Klipsch RP-500C Floorstanding: Klipsch RP-5000F Dual 5.25″ Tower Rear: Klipsch R-51M Monitor Surround: Klipsch RP-402S Height: Klipsch CS-16C II In Ceiling Speaker Subwoofer: SVS PB-1000 Pro (may change surround and rear speakers) will add another sub in future. was also at the option of adding another power amp for front channels in future(maybe) Need a receiver that can run the 7.2.2 channels with latest tech. (4k/120, room correction...ect) Two receivers i came across that i think ticks all boxes. Denon AVC X4700H, Marantz SR6015 and still in budget.

yeah i been thinking same. I play most games to come out at 1080p and max settings.

So i recently changed the setup of gaming pc, was custom loop and all that fancy stuff and well long story short. I need to buy a new GPU. (i know im f**ked). I'm in Australia and there's only a handful of gpus available, nothing will be in stock for a few months even then they got hundreds of backorders. So left to decide between RX 6700 XT for $1200 RTX 2060 for $750 GTX 1660 for $660 a few rtx 3080 for over $2500 from scalpers What to do? budget wise i could prob afford the 3080 in few weeks

My motherboard is stuck on boot sequence. It will constantly tun through the Q-codes. I dont remember it all but it will show ( 00, 7f, 3E, 18, 32, 35, 4C) it will run them over and over but 00 the longest. I get no signal on monitor, peripherals dont turn on. This is started after a bluescreen, where it froze at the bluescreen. No error code was shown cause it froze before it could. Tried cmos button, removing RAM sticks to using just one, removed motherboard battery, removed power from gpu and tried igup(havent removed gpu yet custom loop) specs i7 10700k asus maximus XII hero 1200 32GB trident z RAM 3600MHz MSI RTX 2070 super. latest bios. windows 10 M.2 SSD

After some more troubleshooting and formatting the drive in bios cmd and redownloading os and drivers. It as finally worked.

Hey. I just finished a new build. rtx 2070 super i7 10700k 32gb ram maximus hero xii problem im running into is that my nvidia graphics card is not showing up anywhere. its currently connected and im using it as primary display. But cant find it. Checked in device manager. Tried installing drivers using GeForce but says not supported. Not even got a gpu listed in task manager. I was using it in last build so i know it works fine. i have tried so many fixes. Cleared bios. reset bios completely uninstalled current display adapter drivers(microsoft basic) fresh windows install latest bios could my gpu be broken and still give a display? Or not seated right in port?
-
Build log two. Build coming along nicely but slowly. Waiting on cpu and cablemod cables to arrive. Also waiting on ampere release but might run current gpu but dont want to waste tubing.... will see release date. bottom rad still to install. Then do bends and such. Keeping eye out for acetal z490 monoblock too.
-
Budget (including currency): Possibly $5k Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: all i want is 4k red dead. starting my first hardline build. Previously done soft tubing in the corsair 570x. This build is hopefully going to be the epitome of builds (on a personal level) i9 10900kf Asus Maximus Hero z490 32GB G.skill trident z gold 3600Mhz RTX 2070 super until ampere comes out then will get the 3080 ti (if its called that) ek rads. PE and SE both 360mm corsair Ll120 fans, satin black tubing, gold fittings. ek cpu block. (Dunno if the z390 monoblock fits the motherboard ek quantum kinetic flt 360 res/pump black and gold sleeved cables from cable mod. all in the Lian Li pc o11 dynamic case. black and gold build.

Hey. Currently in the market for hardline tube bending tools and the one im looking at is the thermaltake pacific hardtube bending kit (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/37171/thermaltake-pacific-hard-tube-bending-kit), which is a 12mm/16mm kit. Now the problem if it even is a problem, the tube i will be getting is 10mm/12mm. I understand that the rubber bend insert wont work but will the other parts work fine? eg, the bending mandrels, cutter..... (first time hardline loop) (australia)

Hey there. Quick question regarding EK pumps and reservoirs. I have a EK D5 revo pump and reservoir combo. Im looking to get an EK quantum kinetic 360 reservoir. Will I be able to remove the pump from my current reservoir and install it to the kinetic reservoir? thanks
-
Yeah I thought it could have been my CPU holding me back a bit. I can definitely feel it in COD. Might have to upgrade before i do get it, guess another few months wont hurt. Some good half yearly sales.

Hey. Just looking for an insight into red dead redemption 2 on pc. Been wanting to get it but not too sure if i can run it smoothly with medium to high settings. I got the game on release day and i just couldnt play 5 mins on low settings even menu was messed up. So got refund straight away and decided to wait for fixes. But now i want to get it again but wanted to see if other people with same specs as me or close was able to run without issue. cpu:i5 7600K GPU: 2070 super RAM: 32gb M.2 ssd
-
MSI shows its being used but game is still not smooth at lowest settings with a 2070 super. I just dont get how thats possible.
-
I have spent past few hours/days trying many fixes including DDU, full windows reset and reinstalling everything, online fixes telling me to change nvidia control panel settings. But still no fix and same issues. Having to run game a lowest setting even then its too much for CPU sometimes causing pc to freeze and apps to stop working. Even RGB fans freeze.
-
My gpu usage is at 0% when im playing COD modern warfare and cpu is at 100%. I opened apex legends and it worked fine around 70%. Tried changing every setting that could be affecting it but no luck. Went into nvidia control panel and power settings for windows. PC then starts to freeze a lot..... feels like cpu doing all the work. changed physX to graphics card cpu i5 7600k gpu rtx 2070 super ram 32gb

I have used Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless (over-ear) which sound amazing but bit expensive. Sound clarity and reproduction is audiophile level. Not as much bass as other headphones tho. Right now im using Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT and they sound as good as the Sennheiser and with more bass but no ANC. I use it in the gym where it gets pretty loud and it cuts most if not all outside noise depending on music and volume level. Sennheiser wins on clarity. Audio Technica's are much cheaper. Might be hard getting the Sennheiser 2.0 since the 3.0 just came out.

My first custom loop. Blood sweat and cuts. Leak test for a few hours. Case didnt make it easy to build in. Drain valve in worst place. Apart from that im happy. When full system on should look good. RGB from fans and gpu block.

You cant compare FPI between radiators. FPI is not a linear curve so 16fpi vs 32 fpi dont mean it cools twice as better. It is also affected by design and how air flows through.

Isnt taking something simple and making a complicated the bread and butter, heart and soul, of PC Gaming Enthusiast.
-
was reading this on EK`s website. The cooling process is basic physics. The bigger the surface area, the better the cooling. That is why thicker radiators and denser fins can bring more cooling performance. But! There is always a „but“. Thicker radiators and/or radiators with greater FPI value need adequate air flow so that their performance is properly exploited. High static pressure fans, and fans that are properly designed to be used on radiators, always have an advantage, as we already discussed in the “Fans for Liquid Cooling” blog post.

Hey. For the probe im looking at ek temp probe (https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-cable-temperature-probe-10k-ntc-100cm) where and how to install in loop. Most other ive seen are plug temp probes. But cant get hands on those. Theres this inline one but bit on pricey side. Can get if a must tho.

Pump/res combo https://www.ple.com.au/Products/630111/EK-X-RES-140-Revo-D5-RGB-PWM-incl-Sleeved-Pump. Let me know your experience with the case, especially custom water loop(soft). Gpu will be water cooled also.
