Your welcome, I hope you like them. Have fun

the u12 a is newer and has a significantly thicker heatsink. U12 a also comes equipped with NF-A12x25 fans which generally cost a 30 bucks a pop. Which cpu do you have?

Hi. What are ways to determine if a PSU is bad without risking expensive components. I've heard you can use multi-meters but I don't know how to test one. My friend's system won't even boot anymore. His graphics card got fried and now even his fans won't turn on (no gpu installed on a b450 and r2600 system), I just want to know if the psu is bad. Thx P.S: If you think it's too long for you to explain, link an article, thx

Which card is that, I haven't heard of that one before. Also if you want an AMD cpu that supports ddr3, you'll have to go with bulldozer which perfoms pretty terribly according to everyone (cannot say anything myself since I don't have a clue about bulldozer)

There's 2 main types of connectors: MMCX and 2 pin (there's 2 version of the 2 pin connector but most of them are the same). 2 pin connectors have cheaper cables (apparently, cuz both cables on aliexpress can be found for ~10 bucks) but the mmcx connector is easier to connect. Both can fail, the pins may break in the 2 pin connector and the mmcx connector can get loose over time. Personally I have a 2 pin iem and I would say just get any IEM you like, both connections will work fine for you and since 99.9% of IEMs come with these 2 connectors you should be fine

In ears are also referred to IEMs or In Ear Monitors. They are the same thing. Hope this helps

Yes, that's a legit issue. I'm also looking for one but since the pandemic, no one is shipping to my country. I'll probably get one next year

Yep, the cable will not change the sound characteristics of the IEMs. Pure snake oil :)

look on aliexpress lots of great IEMs with free shipping. Here's a list of great IEMs: https://audiobudget.com/leaderboard/iem

If you are looking for In Ears, I'd suggest the tin t2 (not the tin t2 plus or tin t2 pro). Metal build, removable cable (MMCX connnector), costs about 40 bucks on aliexpress and 50 on amazon. Detailed and neutral (I personally love this combo)

Oops, sorry. question wasn't for me. lol

I bought a used z24i for 50 bucks in December , great monitor for me and the price was amazing. Before that I had a s****y 720 Samsung tv. I'm glad I found this monitor

If you think that would be using Blender anytime soon, jump and get the rtx 2060 KO because that card perform 27% (on avg) better than the stock 2060. Add optifine to it and boom, you have an amazing card for blender. That is if you plan to use blender... lol

I would strongly recommend the Scythe Fuma 2 (unless you intend to upgrade to a 9900k or 3950x anytime in the future, or their equivalent). It's a great cooler for 60 bucks

What do you do? Only games or more stuff like editing and blender

The lenovo in my opinion. 95% DCI-P3 vs 77%, it is brigher but the contrast ratio is a little worse 860:1 instead of 1000:1. Response times are faster also. It has usb ports too which is cool. But the tuf has other features such as hdr (but since the max brightness is 350 nits so it's not gonna a great experience), and elmb. Now it's up to you which features do you want.

That's a bummer. I had the same issue with my old laptop once. Only help I can give is: try realtek hd audio drivers. If those don't work then I'm sorry, I don't know of anything else. This is the worst problem ever man, I feel ya

I'd strongly recommend against that since it's closed off and the "intelligent" part of the case is useless for most people since cam is so buggy

What exactly do you plan to do?

Hi! Great system at it's core. Here's 2 recommendations: skip the strix version and go for the gigabyte version of the 2070 super. Its costs 80 bucks less. Use the money you saved on an air cooler (nh d15 or dark rock pro 4 or the assasin 3, avoid the corsair a500 at all costs). And skip the conductonaut unless you wanna overclock since it's not gonna make a massive difference when applied on top of the ihs. Also since you are editing and gaming, I'd recommend getting an external harddrive (like this one https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-External-Hard-Drive/dp/B07CQJBSQL/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=8tb+external&qid=1587228781&refresh=1&sr=8-3&swrs=5DF90A0B3A00FAD3308F82C66FE9B968) openng the case and then chucking the harddrive into your case. You'll have a lot of storage for the video files and you save about 80 bucks getting the external version (and throwing away the casing) rather than your regular internal one. Edit: fixing grammatical errors

Thankyou for the info

I honestly don't know much about higher end mobos. I'll just go with whatever he's saying. Also, yes the ram is good. Get it before the prices shoot up.

Gigabyte had a good cooler. Asus has many different versions you'll have to specify for a recommendation. MSI should be avoided ATM, their coolers haven't been the best this generation. Zotac, I have no idea. Look up some reviews of the specific cards for more info Hope this helps

That's pretty great, your job I mean. Ok so about the motherboard. It's a really expensive one and unless you really need something that's on the motherboard such as some weird port or headers that you don't have on other mobos, you should not really be getting that one. Unless, you intend on serious serious overclocking, which I would not recommend on a work PC cuz, you will be trading performance with stability. A more expensive mobo does not give you more performance, in general (you really should not be pairing a 3950x with a 70 dollar mobo, but even some decent mobos like the b450 tomahawk will do the trick, not that I'm recommending buying that motherboard) Have a look at this thread, it's a tierlist for mobos. I would say get any mobo from tier a or s- that fits your needs (port, headers, features etc). Try and save as much as you can cuz with this covid 19 thingy, freelance work is gonna be spotty. I wish you best of luck. Also once you are done with the build, check your temps, gpu, cpu, drives and stuff. Sometimes your case is choking airflow to components and may lead to higher temps which will lead to premature death of CPUs and GPUs. If this is the case, you might wanna look into a case that prioritizes airflow. Good luck with the build. Have a nice day / night

Hi Ashbee. Concerning the RAM, you might wanna have a look the the QVL of your motherboard to find which sticks will work the best on your motherboard. My advice is go with a 3600mhz kit. Your PSU should be a-ok Also, just curious, why are you buying such an expensive mobo, do you intend on serious overclocking?
