NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from TheSamDickey in Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions
https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2021/02/25/innuos-announces-phoenixnet-network-switch/
Here we have a $3500 10/100 network switch (yes megabit not gigabit) claiming to be "audiophile grade", thought that it could make a good "$H!T Manufacturers Say" video

While you may get slightly better speeds with that nanoHD , keep in mind that the netgear router also has 4 ethernet ports capable of gigabit speeds and also 2 usb ports which could be useful for example to share a printer (use router as printer server) or you could connect an external hard drive and enable "cloud storage" on router to transfer files to that usb drive.
You also get 600mbps on 2.4 ghz vs only 300 mbps with the nanoHD ... not sure how useful that is, but maybe some phones will use less power on 2.4 ghz or have less lag or whatever.
I don't have experience with that nanoHD so I really can't say if you'll get higher speeds .. .it may very well be better, but at least for me, the netgear wins at features.
Seems a no-brainer to use the ethernet ports and have a patch cable attached to the router if you have a desk near where the router is located and simply plug the cable in a laptop if you need speed.
The nanoHD - at least from the pictures - seems like something that's supposed to be screwed like a lamp on a wall and forgotten... and basically has no extra connectivity.
Also not really a fan that they force you to use their power adapter with a power over ethernet injector (you must power it through ethernet jack, no dc in barrel jack power)... with the other routers you can simply buy a 3rd party adapter, the barrel jacks are standard. It's not a big deal, again it's just a personal preference, you may actually like that there's only one cable going to the device instead of 2.

Maybe go with
185 UK Pounds : NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S Smart Wi-Fi Router (R8000P) - AC4000 Tri-Band Wireless Speed (up to 4000 Mbps) | Up to 3500 sq ft Coverage & 55 Devices | 4 x 1G Ethernet and 2 USB Ports
https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-R8000P-Nighthawk-Tri-Band-AC4000/dp/B073G222VP/
But note you'll also want a wireless card in your computer capable of connecting to the router at those speeds...
ex if your wireless card has maximum 866 mbps connection, then you're capped at that.. around 350-400 mbps in each direction
for example, the card below will do up to 1300 mbps on 5ghz and 600 mbps on 2.4g
55 uk pounds TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900 Dual Band Wireless PCI Express Adapter with 3 Antennas, PCIe Network Interface Card for Desktop, Low-Profile Bracket Included, Supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP (32/64 bit): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archer-T9E-Wireless-Interface-Low-Profile/dp/B00TZJYRF6/

i mean if his phone connected to it with no password entering even though the network is password protected and it has the same name then yea it's probably his

Thanks for everyone that responded I'm thankful for the input and I will be looking into the cases and will let you know which one I choose

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from samladin86 in Case in 100 dollar range
Thats the base P400, the extras offered by the P400S TG are worth the small premium: http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P400S-TemperedGlass.html

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from samladin86 in Case in 100 dollar range
I've got a mate with the S340 Elite and i have a Phanteks P400S TG and we compared the two cases, Phanteks seems to offer better build quality & looks (subjective of course) the Phanteks also has built in ARRGEEBEE and the sound deadening makes a big difference in the P400S, but when it comes down to it the cases are very similar and you cannot go wrong with either, but if you want the absolute best (that i know of) budget case, it appears that the P400S TG is the way to go

NerdModeEngaged reacted to Mateyo in Case in 100 dollar range
You're right, my bad. The P400Scomes with a way cooler sidepanel and other features

NerdModeEngaged reacted to Ansger in Is this amount of IPS glow normal?
this much is not normal for a decent IPS pannel. That much light bleed must be a defect I think. In the 600-700 price range this is unacceptable IMO.

NerdModeEngaged reacted to ExplodingTaters in I need a recommendation for a DAC/AMP
I think you're correct, it's referring to the total harmonic distortion of the DAC/amp at that frequency range (which is human hearing).
Thanks! I'll add this one to the list of potential purchases.

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from Tomppah in First Ryzen 1600 OC, does this seem ok?
Well for a 1600X to become a 1600 during production it would have to fail the boost/XFR requirements of a 1600X, so yes although it is tiny the 1600X is a slightly better binned chip, however i do not think it is worth the extra money over the 1600, although the X does sound cool lmao

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from Glennieboyyy007 in ASUS X370 PRO RAM BIOS issues
I wanted to see if the community could help me first, but I will give them a quick contact if nobody here can help me, quick side note this new update is magic, not only did i get to 2933 rather than the old 2400, i also got a small overclock to 3066 on the stick that does work, i guess that is good haha

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from DocSwag in Ryzen 5 Memory Speeds
Well, as an owner of a 480, if I get the memory speeds up i would be able to conduct this testing myself
-
NerdModeEngaged reacted to DocSwag in Ryzen 5 Memory Speeds
It is still possible that it will make a smaller difference since less cores are actually sending data over the same speed bus but it should still make some difference.
-
NerdModeEngaged reacted to DocSwag in Ryzen 5 Memory Speeds
No, completely untrue. Especially in gaming, memory clocks actually make a substantially larger difference than core clocks. You'd be better off doing 3 ghz 3200 MHz than 4 ghz 2133 MHz, most likely.
-
NerdModeEngaged reacted to DocSwag in Ryzen 5 Memory Speeds
Set it to 2933 and the rated timings as well as 1.35v and see if it boots.

NerdModeEngaged reacted to WereCat in Ryzen OC Results
Very nice. I did not expect the single-core to score that high, I expected around 2100-2150 and for multi-core I knew it will be sky high

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from The Benjamins in Ryzen OC Results
Hi, I just thought it would be cool to create a thread of people listing their Ryzen overclocking results, submissions should list hardware compenents and overclocking results preferebly with CPU-Z validation as proof, my results are as follows:
CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 1600X
Clock Speed: 4.1Ghz
Voltage: 1.4V
Cooler: BeQuiet! Pure Rock
OC Load Temp: 63°C
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X370-PRO
Validation: http://valid.x86.fr/gp30w7
Please note: I haven't tried pushing pass 4.1 yet as I have only had the system for one day, however there may still be more headroom as it only took 0.025V to go from 4Ghz to 4.1 however I do not want to exceed 1.4V for 24/7 Usage (I am also having extreme difficulty with RAM with one of my DIMMs being DOA)
-
NerdModeEngaged reacted to WereCat in Ryzen OC Results
I don't have Ryzen chip.
But you got some very nice OC from that 1600X, most of them barely achieve 4.0GHz at well above 1.4V.

Thanks man, I do seem to have good luck with the silicon lottery as my RX 480 is stable at 1490 with +100mv so am happy to see that my luck has carried on

Its a tad mental as single core outperforms a stock 7700k and multi outperforms a stock 6950x

NerdModeEngaged got a reaction from WereCat in Ryzen OC Results
Neither did I!, it has been a very nice performance uplift from my BLK overclocked 4570 @3.7Ghz, this is obsene performance from a £250 chip not to mention the £25 cooler is definently silently pulling its weight, I am very happy with this as I do tend to run game servers while running a game (mostly modded minecraft) while running the game and talking over discord, this resulted in my cores being maxed out at 100% on my old chip, however 8 threads sit at around 40-60% usage now with the remaining 4 doing nothing and occationly taking on some load to around 10-25%, this also means the game runs smoother, and discord/game server no longer lags out from time to time
