Yeah, I guess I just had to hear someone else say it to confirm my suspicion. Thanks! I just ordered a 280mm H115i, and I'll eat the cost of the h60, can probably use it on something else down the road, budget build or something.

So I just got done putting together a system for a buddy and used a Corsair H60 to cool a 5900x. After some benchmarking temps never reached over 84 degrees under full cpu load (prime95 and browsing around with chrome for about 30min, then running unigene heaven). Curious though if I screwed up here and should probably go with a larger aio? Thoughts?

That indeed resolved the issue. Simplest things first. I don't why I always tend to think of the worst possible scenario and troubleshoot that first, you'd think I'd have learned better after all these years. Thanks again!

lmao! You know...we didn't even think to try that. We'll give it a go this evening and see what happens. Thank you for pointing this out!

Hello all! So I'm assisting a buddy in trying to figure out why his wired internet speeds are substantially lower (unusable) compared to his wifi connection. The first thing we tried was replacing the ethernet cable as I've ran into this in the past, but no dice there. I'm wondering if it could possibly be a setting in his modem/router? But this I've never encountered before. So for a frame of reference his internet plan is supposed to be 7.5mbps from what I can tell based off of the provided information. Through wifi he's able to achieve roughly 6.5mbps. When switching to a cat5e cable plugged directly into the modem/router he's only able to achieve 0.75mbps, exactly 10% the advertised speed. Could there be any configuration settings inside of the modem/router that would be causing the wired connection to behave this way compared to the wifi signal? Edit* Probably worth mentioning that device manager does not show any of the network adapters to be having issues, all lan drivers are showing functional and up to date (no little yellow exclamation icons)

Think I fixed this. I just disabled "auto" and upped the fan speed in nitrosense. I was thinking if you disabled auto then your fans wouldn't ramp up when needed, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Apparently I was just confused.

I recently picked up an acer nitro 5 and have noticed at low utilization the cpu fan emits a pulsing sound as if it's constantly ramping up and then back down ever so slightly. Within the pre-packaged "Nitrosense" monitoring application if I disable "auto" the pulsing goes away, and comes back as soon as I re-enable it. Does the fan curve need to be adjusted somehow? There's no option to do so from within this software that I can tell, and I doubt I'd want to leave auto off as the fans need to dynamically adjust speed for various load. Any suggestions?

So yeah, discord worked flawlessly. I just had to (when selecting the screen option) choose the specific application, which in this case was the capture window of the capture software. Both desktop and mic audio went through without any issue. Oh how far we've come

0_0...is that a thing! Checking it out. Edit* Looked into it, this might work. It seems some people mention that when streaming their desktop they can't stream the audio from it and that you have to select the specific app you want to stream. Guessing that feature may or may not work with the capture software, but it's worth a try. I'll give it a shot once my rca cables show up and report back. Thank you for suggesting this!

First off let me explain what I'm attempting to accomplish. I've recently located some old vhs tapes a buddy and I had made waaayyyyy back in the day. We thought it would be a good time to go back through some of them and see what was on them. I jumped on ebay and sourced a vcr, capture device (rca to usb type deal) and software to record the playback off the vcr. Now I can either go through them myself, record what I feel is relevant and then send the files off to him, OR what sounds like a better time would be to jump on discord and watch them together, but to do so I would need a way to stream my desktop along with audio to his computer over the internet (or at least that's what would make sense to me seeing how the capture device plays back the footage on your desktop as you're recording it). Is there a relatively simple way to do this?

Oh wow! Looks like it was forked from an older release of synergy. Source is on github. I'll give this a go instead. Thank you for mentioning this.

Is anyone here using Synergy? I'm considering setting this up on my new rig, but was worried about it affecting my mouse latency. I'm no pro, but I do enjoy me some CS:GO and wouldn't want this to some how mess with my mouse in game. Although as I'm typing this I'm realizing that that's probably not an issue since most games are going to grab raw mouse data, and even if they didn't, from what I understand synergy is a client server based application, so if my main rig is setup as client it's inputs shouldn't be affected, only latency would be detected on the server machine (which wouldn't matter to me). So...Did I just answer my own question? Or has someone encountered latency issues with synergy on their client machine (main system)?

Update. So the rtx 3070 DOES NOT support more than 4 monitors even with an MST hub. Windows recognizes all monitors connected, but disables all but 4. Going into nvidia driver manager, monitors also show up but you can only select 4 and a message comes up stating that the gpu only supports 4 monitors. Oh well...I had to give it a go. Now I just have a spare MST hub if needed down the road for something.

Nvidia. It's a founders edition card.

Just purchased the mst hub linked above. Probably should have followed my gut and gone that route from the get go. One of the reviews was someone with a 3090 that confirmed it worked flawlessly for them. We'll see how it goes.
