    Most GPU these days have 0db fan mode. It will start spin when the temperature hit 60c and stop spinning when it hit 50c.

    Which model of 6750 XT? Most will have a "zero spin" mode where the fans don't spin until the GPU gets to some predetermined temperature. So it's probably completely normal. 🙂
     
    Usually there is a setting either in the AMD driver software or, if you bought a third party card, that vendor's software to disable it. But again it's probably an intentional feature and nothing to worry about.

    Hi,
    Read the manual and the USB hub built-in is USB-C only, so I'll need a kvm switch after all. Considering this device but barely scratched the surface of USB-C KVMs.
    Thanks!!!

    I have to do this for my home setup, but it does have a few extra cables and some extra steps for me. It's also kinda ugly. I just deal with it.
     
    What I do is just plug both computers into the monitor into different inputs, and my peripherals plug into a USB switch (specifically this one)
     
    I have to manually switch the monitor input using the button on the monitor, then press the button on the USB switch for my peripherals. It only takes a few seconds but it's not exactly elegant.
     
    Honestly, a KVM switch is probably the most elegant solution. They are kind of expensive and not always beautiful, but they are (usually) a one-button-to-switch-everything solution.
    I'm not sure if this will work, because usually the USB ports on a monitor are connected to the PC using a USB-B cable, so only the computer with the USB-B cable will be able to use those peripherals. Someone can correct me if this is outdated advice.
    EDIT: Looking at this particular monitor, it supports data AND DP over one USB-C cable. But, I can't see if it has a USB-B as well. If that's the case, then you probably won't be able to use the USB ports on the monitor for the standalone PC.

    I run my original Vive on an i7 6700k and a GTX 960. 95% of the time it's perfectly fine, but it struggles a little when it has to render the holographic "out of bounds, you're about to physically hit something" wall.

    edit it doesnt have a quest 2 mode (rift is lower quality) the htc vive (higher quality that quest 2) and the test gave those resaults on htc mode

    I have yet to come across a mobo that has problems with Ryzen APUs. Typically, you start getting into trouble with VRMs when you get up to the eight-core Ryzen 7 family or beyond.

    that mobo is good enough for the cpu. it can even run a 3700x if it has to, so don't worry.

    Kobathor reacted to VxZ in Home Office PC <$700 (USA)   
    First I'd suggest to check her usage, For example, if she does a lot of office work and such, you obviously would focus on the CPU and a little bit of SSD to speed it up (altho not this much, maybe put some of that into the CPU or an HDD for capacity)
    Maybe throw a cheap graphics card just in-case (something like $150) if it really doesn't matter you can skip it  feels like a terrible advice to be honest
     
    The only thing I'm noticing is that the motherboard is kinda on the cheap side, If it covers all the features you need and you are sure it will be a quality, then don't change it
     
    Other than that, it should be good in my opinion

    As mentioned by @Electronics Wizardy, the SSD you've got there is probably overkill, but the price actually isn't terrible. Otherwise, unless you're wanting to trim costs back, this looks fine to me.

    The 58x is pretty damn efficient in all honesty most DAPs given they have a clean output and UI and has all the apps you need ie. Spotify, tidal, qobuz. Fiio is great for midrange to high end options but I'm not too informed with DAPs cause I'm not really into them personally.

    Kobathor reacted to Bombastinator in New Build for CAD/Video Editing workloads (USA/TX)   
    CAD software was in the past often very low workload.  That may have changed.  It will depend on what software they are using.  It’s kind of important.
     
    if it is, CPU may actually be overkill.  Number of threads is important too.  It may actually be written multitask, in which case all those extra AMD threads are useless.  CAD software also sometimes used to require “pro” cards.  This may have changed too.
     
    I would say you really need to find out the software and version and base it on that. Look up what people are using to run that particular software.  There may be weird limitations.
     
    What CAD work really likes real-time movement and big juicy monitors.  Super high refresh rates weren’t critical generally.  Sometimes multi monitor depending on software support.  Often monitors of very unequal capacity.  One for pallets and tools, the other for the work.  That will be an issue of personal taste for the user though.  The GPU requirements could vary wildly.  Some software may not even work at all on some GPUs.

    Kobathor got a reaction from Troika in Price of Flight from Dallas to Vancouver   
    Flight calendars don't go all the way to July 2020, so this is based on June 2020. It should be around $450 round trip if you fly economy and book your flight months in advance. Tickets will get more expensive as the date draws nearer. Flying nonstop might be more expensive than a flight with a connection. Flying out of DWF will be cheaper than flying out of DAL (Love Field), since you won't need a connection at an international airport.

    ***
     
    Welcome to the brand new PSU Tier List! Worked on, by @Stefan Payne, @LukeSavenije, and myself. This is a complete overhaul.
     
    We'd recommend that if you have a gaming system, to not have a unit below Tier B.
     
    All information below is opinion based on fact. Units may be bumped down due to the following: missing protections, group regulation, bad electrical performance and catching fire.
    List is subject to change at any time, due to change in sources available.
    Single rail units exceeding 650W will not be placed above Tier A.
    Sleeve bearing fans will not be placed above Tier B. Group regulated units will not be placed above Tier C.
