Hello, I am looking for ideas/suggestions anything really on how to setup my environment. This is very much a 1st world problem, but I am looking on how to be able to put multiple PCs connected to one screen, with minimum latency (so remote desktop is out). Ideally this would run inside my main OS so that i can adjust the windows as needed in a Picture by Picture and would be able to somehow control everything with 1 mouse/1 keyboard. Refresh rate is not the biggest bit here, but 60hz would be the minimum. I have been looking at KVMs, but it seems this only allows one output at a time. I am trying to get 4 systems running like this - including the main OS if possible. All systems are physically next to each other, and in the same LAN. Ideally this would work without requiring actual internet (external) connection. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to setup something like this?

Sure, once I back at the flat I will grab a screenshot.

The desktop is wire connected and has 0 issues, mobile and the laptops are the ones struggling. I have run , thats how I know that there isn`t really a "empty channel" to use, so I reckon the only solution is to get a more powerful emitters. I am not worried about the neighbours at all, all the flats have a AP from the building that is beaming Wifi everywhere, but the wifi is just 5 - 10mb, there is 1 or 2 AP that are no the standard flat ones, which are really weak. So that said, can would getting a more powerfull AP solve/help the issue? I reckon I don`t really need the wifi 6, but its a nice to have (the desktop actually has wifi 6,but its currently wired). Right not, it makes the wireless devices pretty much useless unless I am sitting on top of the router sadly. Honestly right now, even a overkill powerful setup would be something I would look into.

My current zone is CLUTERED with other wifi hotspots, and there is no free channel available, I am already using the one with less overlap but no luck :(. So I am trying to sort this out. I currently own a `Asus RT-AC86U` - standard firmware - it has served me well but it seems its not powerfull enough, near the router I get around 400MBS ( I have a 1GBS connection) (but 3-5 meters of it, and I can barely do a ZOOM/Teams call - constant freezes, people complaining that they cant hear me, etc). I am looking for a non bank breaking upgrade if possible, and something that I can carry around with me from flat to flat - house. I willing to pay for a Long term solution I can use and expand later on. Things I have looked into so far: Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro Acces Point Wifi 6 AP 5.3Gbps 300+ clients (U6-PRO), dual band The flat is 1300 SQF, I would love to have a one AP thingy, but would be willing to mesh it out if no other solution, I honestly don`t care if its overkill setup, I really just want to have wireless across the flat with good stable connections. Most of the wifi is being take by admin/local/guest ap on the complex which is rarelly used. Any suggestions on what to look into? Thank you!~

Thank you guys, that is really helpfull! I though EK was good for blocks, might need some more research to see whats out there.

Pretty much the title. With the announcement of the 4090 GPUs, I decided to take the plunge and move to custom loop cooling, thing is I have no clue what I am looking at or what to look for. I know that we need to be careful with materials on custom loop, but I have no idea what to look for. My CPU is currently on a AIO block from Artic. So I am not looking to cool the cpu or the chipset. What would I need to look into? Waterblock: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-vector2-fe-rtx-4090-d-rgb-nickel-acetal What Pumps/Reservoirs/Combos do you recommend, the idea is to go with a expandable/Low Noise setup that I can improve in the future if needed. Not going with hard tubing, and would like something that is easy to setup - looks are not very important - I would love to have easy drain/fill systems so. Anything else that I might need or look into?

@RONOTHAN## Aorus master x570 , I forgot to had the master in there. Yeah the more I look into things, the more I realize that Linux host and windows guest is the play here. Just need to grab another GPU to play around.

@brob Unless I am forgetting something, I dont think it will need a "proper" gpu, just normal browsing, movies, and programming. @RONOTHAN## Yeah, I think my motherboard should be good for it, I currently have a Aorus x570 so I guess it counts as a highend. The Proxmox cores, thats the kind of thing I am unsure of. Lets say I want to go with proxmox - what would be the recomended core count? Just trying to get as much info as I can on this before I start buying stuff / formatting my system. Also THANK YOU for the looking glass recomendation! That is exactly the kind of pearls I am looking for!

Budget (including currency): 3000+ GBP - (assuming this is what whatever GPU prices are next round :P) Country: UK/ Europe Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The idea is to have a linux based day 2 day distro where I can seamlessy switch to windows to either game/use software that I cant on linux. Yes, I am aware linux gaming is a thing now, and probably a bunch of games would work natively there - but a) I dont want to spend ages configuring things, b) there is software that I need that 100% only runs on windows machines. Gaming wise: I tend to play random games, but spec it to play the latest games on 4K like Dying Light 2 I want to use Linux as my day to day distro. The perfect scenario , being able to remote into a windows machine for gaming 4K at least 60 FPS. Using the machine to boot other random VMs/Containers such as pfsense router , VPN etc. My plan : Honestly , I am on the research phase , but this is what I am thinking: Current parts : Ryzen 3950x 64GB Ram (I can bump it to 128gb) but would need to replace all the dims. 1080 GTX - I will upgrade this on the next iteration to probably a 4090/AMD Variant or something like that ( The VRAM is quite usefull for ML). The gpu idea is to have both of them on the machine, and use the 4090 as passthrough GPU for windows, and if possible while not in use for the linux system (ML). The software I think I will need: Proxmox to manage the virtualization aspect of things, I reckon 1 or 2 cores would be more than enough. Parsec for remoting into windows - would 4K streaming lag be noticeable with dedicated GPUs? I tried it with my 1080 and shared passthrough on HyperV and the game says it has 60FPS, but the stream is FOR sure not 60FPS and has a noticeable input delay. I am debating if a capture card is actually better and just dump it on linux somehow and share Keyboard/Mouse. In my mind this is how I would do it assuming latency is "close to native" with parsec. Give linux 1080 GPU connect my screen to that GPU DP and use that VM as my main OS, when needed I can just boot parsec/capture card to get onto windows. If latency is a issue, I guess I could do it the otherway around: Connect windows to monitor, and use parsec to hit linux since it wont be used for gaming, and just Fullscreen it so it looks seemless. Downside is that I would need to have both VMs always running and lose the chance to share the second GPU, but well, thats something I am willing to have. Having in mind that I much more interested on the setup than the hardware, and I consider that I would upgrade the hardware if needed So yeah, any suggestion on how to aproach something like this?

Bump.

Its ethernet cable, its 100% a Graphics Issue. The Whole screen freezes, mouse included. Discord and Audio keeps working as expected, I have looked at CPU and GPU charts, and gpu gets to 80% and cpu is really low,like 10% or 15%. Its really weird, I am fairly good at fixing this issues but this one has me baffled, I have no clue where to look. Thank you for you input though apreciated!

Yeah I know, terrible game, but that apart I having a weird issue that "only" happens when playing League of Legends. What creeps me out is that I can play lots of games on 4K without issue, GTFO, B4B, etc, etc. So the problem is: During the game I get lots of stutters randomly, sometimes when a spell is cast, other times when just moving around before was always whenever I used in game ping. Weird bit, the game runs consistently at 4k 260FPS everything on high. I have tried putting all the settings on the lowest, reducing to full 1080, and locking the FPS to 60, and the stutters still appear. It really noticeable to the point where if it happens when I am casting a Spell, it sometimes just shoots in a random direction. I have no idea what`s causing it, I thought the GPU might be throttling since have my fan curve really low due to the noise, but even maxing the fan to 100% it happens. I have a fairly decent setup : Ryzen 3950X 1080 GTX (Well, thank you scalpers for not allowing me to get a 3090 at decent price - waiting for the next gen to buy now since ) 64GB of Ram 3000mhz NVME SSD (actually have a few NVME on the system) Windows 11 (on Windows 10 the stutter happened mostly when pinging) Things I have tried: Reducing Visual Settings, Resolution Decrease Locking FPS to 60, 120, 200 Disabling Windows Game DVR Closing All other apps Reinstalling League of Legends Updating Video Drivers to whatever was latest I am honestly clueless right now. There are no OCs on any of GPU or CPU.

Yeah I have been reading alot about those issues, but I have also heard that those were the first units ? Its a bit scary paying 1.5K and having a fauly device.

I am not personally inclined for the ultra wide really, it just i saw the g9 and it ticked all the boxes really The real estate from a 42" or 46" tv is enough for me really. I am going check the c9 tv and see what is available. Thanks for the reply!

Hey, Long time lurker decided to try my luck, I am currently doing some research on what to buy as my next monitor for my setup. Currently my favorite so far is G9 Odyssey, the only thing that I am not 100% happy with is the vertical resolution, My ideal screen (monitor or tv) would be something like this: 140hz -244hz (The more the better but I don't really care about having the highest refresh rate) 4K over 42" with HDR10 or HDR10+ support, Freesync / Gsync would be a bonus but its not a deal breaker. Color accuracy would be nice to have, but I dont do anything that requires a high color accuracy. I game a bit, but mostly I do software development quite a lot, so Real Estate specially vertical one. My current display is at 125% scaling so you can see why I find the g9 lacking on that regard. I current own a old( 6 years) LG 4k tv that does 4k@60fps at 42" but the quality is lacking since its not native 4k. Price range something in the way of the g9, so around 1500 being my top price range. (I am currently on UK, if that makes a difference), its not fixed price, but I am not interested in going on the High Range prices or super highend tvs. I have been looking at Samsung TVs too, but I don't care for the tv aspect of it since it will 99% of the time be used as computer display. I don`t care about extra features as OS, Dolby, audio quality (have an external system) etc... The Panel, size, refresh rate , hdr support are my main concerns Do you have any suggestions on anything that fits those criteria ? Thank you very much !

Yeah, that's the thing, the i5 has been working pretty much fine, and its not bad per se, I am just really checking to see if the upgrade would really improve on a noticeable scale on those use cases. I do pin my cpu at 100% while developing/compiling, which is not a bad thing, but its noticeable for a few mins. One thing that does come to mind, is Light Baking in Unreal/Unity3d, which would greatly improve due to the more cores, but this is a secondary workflow, so not a major deal.

Heya fellows, I need some insight on whether is worth upgrading my I5 (currently at 4.2ghz) to a ryzen 1700 now. (yeah I know a 8700k just came out, but I am not sure if the 100$ extra are worth the price, or maybe go with a cheaper 1700 and upgrade next year again?) I do game a bit, not hardcore gamer, and I use my desktop mostly for development (web, windows, etc). The core/thread count is the main thing I was looking at, I didn't upgrade once they came out because I am not sure I felt the need to upgrade, but most recently on a larger project I have been feeling that perhaps the core/threads would really help me with my compile times and development performance as whole. I am mostly looking on opinions on developers, that have upgraded and if it was worth the upgrade. The software I am most interested in is mostly NodeJS (Webpack,React,... etc, the full deal basically) , Visual Studio (C# mostly), with Unity3d as hobby. If you have any feedback I would like to know. Thank you. P.S I do intend to OC the Ryzen cpu when upgrading.

Yeah, my main concern is, I obviously need a new Rig, but I was hoping to keep my self current, and be changing hardware everyfew months, so I don't have to invest a large sum all over again, so was worried that I would lose the upgrade ability if I don't go right now with the flow, but I guess as you said, that will be bleeding edge, and I rather pay later when the prices drop for the new processors, ram whatever.

Its not just for gaming, but it will be used for it. The Rig you said is pretty much what I thinking in buying, instead I was thinking in goign with a Radeon 290 DCU II.

I have the laptop to use , although can't game at all (610M nvidia), I guess I going to buy the pc now, and if it worth I will just sell it and buy the new stuff if its really worth it. (my 1500$ cap is a mental cap, if it was worth it I would gladly go with a 2K++ system) But I dont see major performance increase with paying double my current budget. Devil Canyon seem to be coming June 2, so I can wait for that with no issues.

the title says it all, I am thinking in mounting a new rig (budget at around 1.5K) and reading across this seems to be quite close time frame for haswell-e. I was going to buy the parts by the end of the month , but if its worth waiting I might? Are there any ETA for these techs? I have read all kind of stuff, late 2014, June 2014, Late 2015 etc... So is it worth waiting? P.S : I am currently stuck on a crappy laptop, thats why I was going to buy the rig.

Yeah the first two are not obligatory but they helped in battery specs, also I use Lux lite Dash - This had major impact on my battery life. Others that use are Boomerang (email app), facebook messenger and skype, Rocket Player for audio and torch for a flashlight.

As this good folks said, you will generally get better deals by building them from scracth. Just ask for help on a build, there are great fellows here that have vast experience and knowledge on this, and can help you build the perfect rig for you and your wife

I have the same phone. I used Purity Rom Franko Kernel For apps: SMS Textra (I really like this) I also Use the Nova Launcher to replace the Default Launcher app this is a matter of personal preference.
