Hey, I've been encountering some instabilities with WiFi (.11ac) over at our new place, mostly blaming it frequency saturation as there are many APs fighting over bandwidth. I've encountered it mostly with unstable ping and no fix has been definitive, even though they helped. I've been thinking about getting powerline adaptor, as even though the distance between pc and network gear is short irl (only like 5 meters and one thin wall) the latency over WiFi to the router is still around 20ms. I can't pull ethernet as I would usually, so I've been thinking about trying powerline adaptors, but have no experience, should I just get ones with hight enough bandwidth advertised and see how it goes? Can they actually help the latency over the WiFi? Additionally, have setup in home streaming setup from pc to laptop connected to my TV, with sunshine nad moonlight, however with the WiFi I get frame drops from the main computer (the laptop is close to the router so connected directly) and even whole connection can sometimes drop. So with the powerline I was thinking if something like Eaton usb+DisplayPort over Ethernet is what I should look into. Just looking for experience or things I might have missed while quickly looking over the prospects, thanks

I was thinking about earphones as well, but I do need some really comfortable - which means softer in the ear for me, and the linkbuds are way too expensive to be worth it I guess

Yeah sorry, I'm using the wrong terminology Yeah, probably looking for IEMs - I'm using android so probably not airpods

Hi, I got used to falling asleep with podcasts or music on, but now, living with my girlfriend who has some problems falling asleep I can't do that anymore. So I'm looking for some comfortable IEMs with which I can go to sleep, since it reduces my time to fall asleep significantly. I tried using OpenMove by shockz which I use for cycling, but the belt behind the head was too annoying. I know Linus used some and I'm thinking about the LG ones from short circuit video, but I'm not sure I want something too much in ear for sleeping. I'm not looking for noise cancelling or anything extra like that (as it's mostly spoken word, even sound quality is low priority.), I just need them to be fine even for me as a side sleeper.

The few that were available here were pretty okayish in terms of closeness, the basic models around 530eur and the top level ones around 680eur so I'm no really worried about that... Is upgrading to 3070 not going to help my usage? It should be reasonably faster, and I haven't really been reaching 144fps in all of my games, which is something I would like to, from this upgrade...

Hi there, I'm currently looking for when in few months 30 series is hopefully available I'm pretty sure I'll upgrade. The reason isn't necessarily performance (rarely run into problems, but running higher quality would be nice), but more that I have somebody who would benefit from my current card and I would feel dumb purchasing something on the level of their need, when I have it here and was thinking about upgrading anyway. I'm currently running: 8700k OC, 32Gb 3200MHz RAM, GTX 1080 (Gigabyte windforce), 1440p 144Hz display plus one 1080p secondary, often playing VR on OG VIVE I was planning on buying the 3070, but since though that I might be saving money without any negatives if I got the 3060 Ti instead. Is there really any benefit for me going for the 3070, or should I maybe consider AMD if it also ever becomes available? The most demanding game I can see myself playing in any close future is CoD:MW, but I mostly play less graphically demanding games

The CPU really seemed minimally damaged, and the crack on the plastic socket isn't that large, so I'm hoping to salvage it at least one of them

Hi, quickly - previously working Asus A320M hosting Athlon 220GE is not posting after its owner pretty bruttally tore out the processor that was stuck to its cooler thanks to thermal paste. Seems as if all pins are completely ok (after just a very minor straightening) but the processor seat (? Socket? The moving plastic seat) is partly cracked. It can still move and accept the processor and hold it pretty firmly in place, but it's the last place where I ended up while debugging it. Everything was reseated and the board currently has only memory and processor. Any idea how to test it out without another am4 board or processor? Or how to try and fix it

I'm not much into macros, and the corsair scimitar doesn't seem like something I would be able to use at all, I mostly need the new mouse to be comfortable for long sessions, so I think I'll go with the master

Hey, I'm looking into getting a better productivity mouse (Admin and programming). I'm currently on Razer Deathadder while I love it for gaming, it's not nearly as good (or mainly comfortable) for anything else. I'm looking into Mx Master 3, but as I always do before buying anything I don't know myself wanted to check here with you guys. Any other mice I should look into, or just stick with Logitech?

I wouldn't go under gold, probably 500W and I guess B550 that I'll decide when he asks for the build when he gets to buying and building it... Thanks for the help

I have a pretty good experience with seasonic (currently all three PC's in my home are running off of them) so probably going with that. With MB I'm deciding if I can get away with B450, but as he's planning on building it by himself so I don't really want him to need to flash a bios or need to borrow my Ryzen that's running my htpc, I think I have to go with B550 but haven't decided which one yet

Apparently some gaming (modern remasters) is also in consideration in the future, so I think I'll go with 1650 (maybe super) if I find one with 4 ports that's cheaper then 1660's

He runs 6 monitors at work and I'm pretty sure they run something else then directly remote desktop for access

Budget (including currency): Mostly looking for parts check / if parts are fit for task Country: Czech Republic Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm trying to make a list for a relative who is looking for work from home pc (switching from laptop). He's looking for a pc able to run 2-4 1080p monitors or one ultrawide/large 4k display. Mostly running either remote desktop or ms office (with a lot of large excel tables and/or many files open). It should also be a little future proof for these tasks. I was thinking about Ryzen 3600 + gtx 1660 + 500gb sata ssd and 32 gb of Ram (just in case). But as price is also a little bit of concern I'm not sure if I'm not building an overkill for that as I haven't really cared about desktop hardware since I build my gaming PC few years back. Thanks a lot
