which motherboard ? psu?

you tried all usb ports front back even try the extra header ones inside on mobo if you can or have them

could just be your mobo has noisy usb or psu maybe?

And they'll go down if sales are bad. But people forgot how to vote with their wallets apparently...

voting with your wallet isnt going to stop inflation, all currency lost its value, wages are higher, items are costing more because of this profit margins already shrank

We actually need to hold out some more for prices to go where they should be. The fact they needed to make "Super" series that are at lower price and faster shows they weren't selling all that well. Also the fact that RTX 4070 Super is just few fps faster than my old RTX 3080 gives me no incentive to buy something new. And while RTX 4080 Super is faster, there is no way I'm paying 1000€ for that. I wasn't ready for 1200€ for stock 4080 and neither I am for the Super variant at 1000€. I'l buy another "80" series card when their prices drop back to $799 which for us in Europe means 800-850€. That's what I paid for GTX 1080Ti and for RTX 3080 (if I ignore slight COVID tax back then). And I don't just take price into consideration. If they launch RTX 5080 with dismissable performance uplift, then I don't care if it costs just $799 if it doesn't bring anything of worth to the table.

 

And while NVIDIA is all the Ai rage at the moment, their consumer market isn't something they can just throw away or ignore with "fuck you" attitude of overpriced graphic cards.

i agree with most but the price thing i believe is here to stay, mainly because all tiers have gone up in price in electronic world

also everything has gone up way too far in price as is

Those were the good days. PunkBuster, GGC Stream, and all the other methods that actually worked...

actually having private dedicated servers were more fun as long as admins were in game or reviewed them

miss those days more

edit even vote kick was fun lol

Cheap KB + covers and a shelf full of hot spares.

this is what we have been doing and i have fixed some of them and reused again but just looking at more solid solution if there is one

Get a Logitech K120 and one or several of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Keyboard-Protector-Compatible-Keyboards/dp/B07PNDV61J
This is what everyone uses, every auto mechanic, every machine shop, we use these on the cross dock I run. 
 

These are features that are on toys, personal keyboards for comfy home setups on fancy desks right up next to giant flat panel monitors. No machine shop on earth would use anything like that because they’d get destroyed rapidly. 

you cant say what is useful here

detachable be nice for moving out of thw way while fixing things instead of always unplugging from the back which has already taken out 2 usb ports because of shavings and water getting into the ports fyi

and mech can handle drops better usually

fyi xkey 20key programmable still going strong after like a decade

i have few in mind but looking for others input

metal shop needs something that protects from dust water metal shavings

constantly changing keyboards and cleaning them

detachable cable a plus along with mechanical

It gone up is due to new platforms and stuff nothing to do with this, these are initial non standardized parts. It's not mass scale for production even. The so called more potential to fry though, really it could be the other way around. Less points where electricity goes, less flimsy joints but proper solid robust connection.

asus produces alot of mobos

and spotty said if perfect

How is this supposed to solve that when the same connector is still used? 

 

How do you think you get power from the power supply to the motherboard?

 

It uses a 12vhpwr connector on the back of the motherboard. Because this has nothing to do with removing power cables. It's about hiding them.

I like that things are at least moving forward to improve. We just need a standard though. Removing cables like this is good. Need good connectors on mobo and PS that for sure. Really it would be possible to just have one big connector from PS to mobo though.

not sure if its actually improvement considering mobo cost already gone up and possibly more potential for these expensive mobos to fry

who cares about "pci sig" tho? why do you need it? do away with this organization, its just a scapegoat for indeed Nvidia who was it that designed the 12 fail plug, not "pci sig" don't  let them fool you this easily,  this "organization" has no real power, its just so they can more easily sell you snake oil.

 

"pci sig" give me a break lol  

did nvidias 12 pin have any issues on the 3k series(didnt have 4 extra pins)? which was their design actually and compatible with pci sig standard

Not a big deal to me, as I can buy competing products in many other places.

 

Curious how many of Drop's items were rebranded Corsair or developed by Corsair in the first place.

dont think many, i'd like to actually see couple examples

i'm not a fan of corsair personally

seriously this fight is kinda ridiculous imho

did the disney acquisition of fox have this much shit? considering how much  disney actually acquired

It isn't people not liking change, its a matter of unnecessary change , but I'm not surprised as people like to defend massive corporations for dumb things.

Why change something which has become easily recognizable branding for the average user?

I don't see how that matters, Intel can still change their SKU numbering without changing the branding, and IMO what Intel needs to do is make their numbering less confusing especially with laptop cpu's, not waste money on a new naming scheme worse than the previous i3/i5/i7.

what are you talking about all they are doing is dropping the "i" and then adding ultra on some models

i do agree on shortening which dropping the "i" technically did

fyi i'm not defending intel but its not the same intel either their fabs are opening up to anyone which were not really a thing before

lol at people thinking its cringe

i'm old i dont like change mentality

doesnt affect a thing at all

seriously how many gens of i3 i5 i7 are there?

they need to renew brand and separate their naming from the past chips these are fucking cars

plus they are on verge of going emib foveros chiplet etc

are you on high performance in windows and nvidia control panels

have you figured if this switching to integrated?

I'm sorry gaming is gaming

Cloud or native

Mobile PC console vr browser etc

Many of these companies make games for all too

i find this funny how 12VHPWR is labeled as nvidia's connector cause actually nvidia's was just 12pin without 4 extra pins (did those have issues on 3k series? wheres the reports on this?) and is compatible with pci sigs 12VHPWR connector, which amd is a partner of pci sig arent they

come on people lol

and if we are moving the connector to the motherboard arent we going to have same issue unless we revert back to 6 pin 8 pin but they had issues too

i'd love pci e 5.0 pro slot i remember agp pro slot had abit mobo with it

fyi i been around when its was 20 pin for mobo then became 24 then we added 4 pin for cpu

4 pin molex was way more dangerous actually some old agp cards required 4 pin molex that i owned

also remember 4 pin cpu problems too

and not to mention fan connectors melting too

Is this really tech new? WarThunder has always been very difficult to progress in. I stopped playing regularly about 8 years ago, the process of unlocking new aircraft was not fast.

Yeah. The economy is so bad, that you literally loose in-game money just by playing most vehicles. And they made it much worse in this update.

this doesnt affect tech like performance or breaking the game, its economy and user hatred which isnt tech thats preferences

we could have this place flooded with game updates on that area,

so how is it tech news when game still is playable

check out hesuvi with your onboard

you can choose from many virtual surround sound algorithms

game sound is made with algorithms same with everything else til it becomes analog pretty much

some games do sound great some have horrible sound and it only enhances

and can be easily turned off for the things that do it right

lol this topic

hey min requirements are i5 cpu

hey i have i5 650 why doesnt it work? lol

geez its tech its tech it should be going forward was like 10yrs overdue, rebrand should come with new arch especially or they just use their codenames as damn brand

should always be separating old from new

i dont see problem here

dont understand what all the negative nancy comments are

i actually think they should change branding more

think consumers would actually benefit more if they did every few gens so core i  to ultra to xyz to 123 then consumers would easily see how old those cpus are in prebuilts

Maybe it'll be for a SoC offering and not desktop processors. The existing names have always been unrepresentative of what they are.

 

 

You forgot that the Core, Core2 and Core2Quad stuff before it. Going all the way back to I think 2006.  So that's 17, not 15.

 

 

Overall, I've always hated Intel's naming scheme because there are always too many numbers that don't mean anything, and the mobile end is even worse, with part names to indicate different graphics cores.

 

Just, Intel, get with the program, produce 4 chips and nothing else. 3,5,7,9 There was never any need to differentiate these with three-digit numbers and letters. Produce just the "best part" for those tiers, and make the 9 part de-facto core unlocked.

 

Those additional numbers have been absolutely no help in determining the clock speed or cpu cores or any other performance metric. Throw in GPU performance metrics, and you have this lovely problem where people never know what the heck they are buying.

 

 

agreed

kinda wish they would just use yr and then have short model number like 2023 xyz

Sounds like AMD will be accepting failures due to this.

 

Edit: thinking a bit more, the question then arises, why were higher voltages being used before? Was it the mobo makers setting it high to help ensure stability at higher speeds? It'll be interesting to see if this impacts higher speed kits in particular.

are they all mobo with phoenix or ami bios?

could this be bios company?

I can’t understand why so many people are upset by this decision. As far as I can see, monopolies aren’t a good thing and Microsoft already owns a very large chunk of the gaming industry. Eventually new games startups won’t have any chance of competing if Microsoft gets so much larger, and Gamepass holders will eventually be effectively held ransom by Microsoft. If Microsoft has a monopoly or near to a monopoly over the gaming market they would be able to charge extremely high rates because you wouldn’t have a choice to get games from elsewhere. But I don’t know, I might be wrong.

do you realize, along with any media, this has more to do with what people prefer

you cant just slap call of duty on a game and it will sell like hotcakes

how does microsoft even come close to monopoly in gaming please explain this

sony sells more consoles if you want to argue console sales

mobile there are too many games to count

fortnite roblox gta etc etc that keep generating money today

it has nothing to do with competition and monopoly

this is should be looked at as media

if disney cant acquire all that media why cant someone else

at the end of the day if they make shit product after spending shitload of money they lose like they should

should we get involved with music, tv, movie, books etc because end of the day they still have to produce a product the people like

But does it matter? Microsoft and Activision are not homed in the UK. The hurdle that has to be jumped is the US. Activision and Blizzard is in California and Microsoft is in Washington (the state)

 

That said, I'm a bit indifferent to it. I would like Microsoft to be able to acquire all the Activision IP that Activision has sat on and done nothing with, maybe they acquire "activision" and spin off the remaining parts (eg COD, WoW and Overwatch) to the remaining Blizzard software.

 

At any rate big corporate mergers are harmful overall and we shouldn't allow them. BUT at the same time we should not be permitting mergers to "Erase" IP either. If Microsoft acquires Activision they should be required to re-release every title Activision has ever made for Windows 11/Xbox/PS5. But that is certainly not going to happen either.

 

 

how are they harmful

especially in this case

has the disney fox thing turned out bad yet?

if disney can grab 21st fox i dont see why this should stop
