  1. Looking for a monitor with a $400 US budget that checks most if not all these boxes: - 1440p - at least 120hz - at least 100% srgb coverage It'll be used for gaming and photo editing. Thanks all.
  2. Since you'll be using it mostly for stills and will be carrying it during bike rides, an old flagship 100%. Canon 5D mkii and Canon 6d come in to mind. Full frame Weather sealed and built like a tank EF mount has one of if not the largest lens selections Cheap af Great images SOOC I recently got a 5D classic for $200 and I've been using it for stills more than my Fuji XT3. Downside to those Canon DSLR's are they are quite chonky. An apsc alternative I would suggest is the Fuji XT2. I'd still be using mine today if I wasn't given an XT3 as a gift.
  3. Looks good, already very overkill for playing terraria. Only concern I have is the cooler. I've used that same model on my R5 3600 and in games it'd reach ~83 C with ambient temp around 27 C.
  4. It's possible. The 3060 can be the main GPU that does all the heavy lifting and the secondary 710 just as a display output slave.
  5. Two months ago my OnePlus 7T Pro's display died. Repair estimates was around 300 USD. I figured it was time for an upgrade anyway. So I got the Snapdragon variant of the base S22. I'm very happy with all aspects of the device except one: the battery life. My typical day goes wake up > jog while listening on bluetooth earbuds > Scrolling around social media while on the way to work > More social media during downtime and on the way home > Bluetooth music while in the gym. I don't have any games on my phone and my mobile data/wifi and bluetooth are on pretty much 24/7. My old OnePlus could easily get me through the day with battery to spare while I read before going to bed, I'd charge it to full when I wake up the next day. I can barely get 4 hours of SOT with the S22. I find myself having to top up a bit after work, and then I charge it again when I wake up. Is this the normal battery life of this particular phone? I see people on Reddit claiming over 5 and even 6 hours of SOT with the same snapdragon variant. Any tips on how I can extend the SOT?
  6. I just ran it with the preinstalled RAM in slot 1 by itself, no problems. Then I switched to the new RAM in slot 1 by itself, also no problem. So I tried with the Samsung RAM in slot 2, and boom, random black screen. Looks like I got a bad slot. This thing's not even a week old so return shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!
  7. I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 recently with the ff specs: R5 3600H RTX 3050 8GB 3200Mhz RAM 512GB NVME SSD Used it for a few days without issue as I was waiting for the extra RAM module I ordered. I got another stick of 8GB 3200Mhz to match the speed, but I neglected to match the manufacturer because I didn't think it mattered that much. the preinstalled module was from Samsung and the one I got was from Kingston. It didn't have any problems at first, I got better performance in games and such, but if I move the laptop when it's on too much, the screen goes black. I thought I must've hit the display's ribbon cable or something else when opening it up. I reopened the thing and checked all the connections and couldn't see anything wrong. Anyone have any ideas? Could it have been a bad module? But it runs perfectly provided I don't move it around too much, and wouldn't bad memory result to a BSOD?

    Wow I logged in after 2 years and saw that my s…

    Absolutely. Kinda regret selling it tbh, but I couldn't find someone willing to buy just the R5 1400.
  9. I live in a city of about 300k. Perfect size IMO. Not overcrowded but also not a town where everybody knows everybody.
  10. Wow I logged in after 2 years and saw that my system specs were still from 2017 when I got my first job. Major nostalgia bomb.image.png.3a2f4acd39010724948cc7bf5ade5f45.png

      Lol. I just logged in and contributed a post for the first time since 2018, I've deleted all of the text entries now, but my sig and profile information detailed the old 4770k build I had.

       

      Stopped using that absolutely ages ago. Really made me laugh.

      Fun fact, that motherboard can be flashed with a B450 bios and run 5800X3D and still be relevant.

      I'm still using what replaced it, a 5820k based rig, but soon it's going to be fitted with a Xeon, kept as a VM server box and I'll use a laptop with an eGPU enclosure.

  11. Wow, it's been almost a year since I was last on here .-.

      Welcome back! Hope you're doing fine in middle of this pandemic.

  12. Shot At the Night - The Killers For the longest time I thought these guys were British.
  13. 500 isn't really a lot in most currencies I imagine. Very likely a scam.
  14. Depends on what you would call "surviving". If you're fine with low details, sure why not.
  15. Disable the the ps4's headphone jack as a playback device in sound options.
  16. Not really, I used mostly light attacks because I built for it. Also I booted up the game again, heavy attacks are mapped to shift + left mouse
  17. ._. idk, never had any problems with the control schemes of the vr games I've played
  18. Default, didn't really have any trouble with the keybindings.
  19. No, he's saying the GPU isn't capable enough. What are the actual temps? Do you play without AC on? Do you have a picture or vid of that friend's laptop?
  20. At 1080p? Aside from what was mentioned above, have you checked thermals? I doubt you'd get 80-100fps though, even a desktop 1050ti can maintain just above 60fps at 1080p High settings.
  21. PSU died on me after little over a year. Corsair pls.

      :(

      Died from a power surge or just died of old age?
