  1. Then it doesn't deserve a video in the first place. No the point of flat cables is to manipulate capacitance and inductance. Weather or not that's audible is sus, but should at least be tested properly. EMI doesn't matter on a speaker cable, it's current dominated. Voltage dominant carriers like Interconnects is where you want to eliminate EMI, but a simple balanced cable would handle that perfectly.
  2. Sorry but this video was as dumb as the products they "tested". It was nothing more that a bunch of bros on a couch talking shit. Like you used cable risers on powered monitors? WTF? I hate snake oil as much as the next guy, but you could at least try. Use things as intended. Take measurements. Do blind listening tests. Like hello? you guy's have a lab now. It expect professional from an organization your size. This was armature hour of the highest order.
  3. fps/$ doesn't matter much too me, fps/watt (and by extension heat and noise) is the more important metric. That's what I was hoping would improve.
  4. I have a 4k 120Hz TV I want to use for media and casual gaming. I'm currently eyeing the 4080 but the super series on the horizon has me intrigued. Is it worth waiting (how far off are they and how much better are they) or should just buy now. If I did wait I'd either get the 4080 super or the 4070 Ti Super.
  5. Passthroughs are just not something you will find in the custom keyboard space. If you don't need that however KBDfans is a great one stop shop for people new to the hobby. This is a nice 75%: https://kbdfans.com/collections/diy-kit/products/taco Or a bit more premium, but on pre-order: https://kbdfans.com/collections/odin-75/products/kbdfans-odin-75-mechanical-keyboard
  6. Use X-sim, it's designed for this. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/xsim-free-crossover-designer.259865/ Not entirely true. There are series crossovers and parallel crossovers: Here's some diagrams showing the difference https://sound-au.com/parallel-series.htm
  7. Consider these: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/Q5QCXYY28YMY?ref_=wl_share
  8. Herman Miller Aeron. Only valid chair to have ever existed.
  9. Impedance is highly frequency dependant, so if your expressing it as a single number rather than a plot over the frequency domain you're already wrong.
  10. Keychron will probably have what you're looking for. https://www.keychron.com/collections/all-keyboards?pf_t_connectivity=Connectivity%3Awireless
  11. I just got it so probably not, but if I can't boot how can I update?
  12. I just got an Asus Strix B650E-I ITX motherboard, Ryzen 7800X3D and 32GB of DDR5. I can't boot at all. Every time I get 1 long beep and 3 short and a white colored Q-LED. Both indicate no GPU detected according to the manual . I've tried: 1) reseating The CPU, GPU and RAM 2) switching between a 4070 and 1070Ti, (both work in an older system) 3) using a different power supply, (which works in an older system. ) 4) Clearing the CMOS. 5) inspecting the AM5 socket pins for damage, (there was none) 6) Adjusting the heatsink mounting pressure up and down. I am officially out of ideas.
  13. I do have a USB 2 header, do such adapters exist? Does such a thing exist? ITX board, only 1 PCIe slot and it's used by the GPU.
  14. My case, (Fractal Ridge), has 2 front panel USB connectors shown here. The blue one feeds the 2 USB-A ports and the SATA looking thing feeds the USB C port. My problem is my MB (ASUS X470-I Gaming ITX MB) only has a header for the blue one. I have found an adaptor that converts from the blue one to the SATA looking one so I could connect the USB-C connector to my MB, but that would leave the USB-A ports not connected. Is there some way I can have all the front panel USB ports active at the same time? Like a splitter of some kind? Blue one: SATA look-alike:
