Thank you, Node MCU is what I am already using anyway so that great.

Hello Im working on a Home automation project. A key part of it is of course RGB! Now Im having a little problem tracking down what RGB strips I should get. There are so many different types out there there and was wanting some help to narrow down the choices. Anyone who has experience with RGB strips could you point me to some strips or help me know what to look for. The things that I am looking for are; 1) Arduino compatible strips 2) Addressable strips 3) Strips that I can cut to size with out breaking them 4)The next one would be a bit of a big ask but strips that can run of 5V up to 6 meters of length. (I can get away with 3 meters using 2 controllers but I would prefer 6) The issue with finding these for myself is that I cant tell if strips will be Arduino compatible or if I can cut them with out breaking them. So even just giving me advice on how to find that out would be a big help. Thank you for your time.

So i have just built a new pc it works great but one thing is annoy me. I have an aorus z370 ultra gaming 2.0 motherboard qnd i am trying to get the rgb music to sync up with my music i am playing but its offset by a second or a few milliseconds. This is anoying as heck. Does any one have any advice on how to fix it or is this how gigabite intended it to work? And if it is why bother having it as an option in rgb fusion? Asus aura sync worked way better then rgb fusion witch I used on my initial build. And would of kepped it IF I was able to get my hands on a mobo that achaley had rgb headers.

So I'm planing to build a new computer in December but there's so many choices in parts. Ill have about 4500$ NZD and I've been looking at lots of different types of builds I want it for gaming but I also do 3D rendering/animation and video editing as well. and I will probabley get a 4K screen in the next year. I have allredey decided threadripper is probabley not the best way to go. right now I'm trying to decide if I should do a 8700k build or a 7820x build for the 8700k the pricing for the CPU and mobo is about 900$ NZD for the 7820x the pricing for the CPU and mono is about 1500$ NZD The rest of the parts I'm looking at is coolermaster comos case 700$ Samsung 1TB m2 SSD (around 800$) 16 GB of trident z RGB ram (around 400$) I'll upgrade to more latter on if I need to. Posabley gtx 1060, or 1070ti or maybe even somthing from the rumered 11 series that might or might not come out at the end of Q3 but the price of a 1060 is 540$ while 1070ti is 900$ and then just the generic fan cooling and power supply and ect. so with that in mind I'm trying to decide witch of the CPUs would be best to go for? I'm also concerned about the pcie lains where the 7820x has 28 of them while the 7600k onley has 16. There for if my m.2 uses 4 of those the most my gpu can have is 8 or 4 if I decide to sli latter on and I don't know what kind of proformance impact that may have on the overall system. also after watching the 1920x1080 video I'm now also worried about bottlnecking the system.

hey so I am planning to build a new computer (in 5 months after I've saved up) and I am wanting to do a threadripper gaming build. currently, the most powerful computer I own is a 2013 macbook pro that I did/do my desing/3d animating, rendering and game dev work on, my PS4 died, and I want a computer more dedicated to gaming, VR. And as well may be used for faster rending of my animations. Also the kind of games I play range from Minecraft to games like Farcry 4, Fallout and other games of the like (which I had to install on my partner's computer since my mac did not have the graphics power to run it in bootcamp) Problem is parts are way more expensive here in NZ than in other countreys like the US (and yes that is taking into consideration the exchange rate) and there are fewer parts to chose from. So I would like some help picking parts to build the best machine fit for me that I can. My price range is about 3500-4000 NZD Right now I'm using a simple single Full HD monitor. but plan ongoing 4K in the near future. I will still use my existing peripherals but I will need a new version of Windows 10 as my current version I'm running Bootcamp on was the free upgrade version from the windows 8.1 I bought for Bootcamp Now I am wanting to use Cooler Master - COSMOS C700P ATX Full Tower Case and a thread ripper processor but everything else I can change. This here is what I have chosen at the moment. https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/LDM6Bb but like I said I'm open to changing everything except for the case and processer family. please help me pick the right parts for me. Thank you.

Thank you marrtendc. and your right I have a Nvidia 750M I just did not have the computer in front of me to double check at the time. At the end of the day, I just wanted to remove the unfair bottleneck in my otherwise somewhat decent system so I could squeeze some more gaming use out of it b4 I build my first proper gaming rig and then use my mac purely for programming, graphic design and other work. I plan on starting to build a proper gaming rig next year/2019 but I don't want to rush that project just so that I can pc game properly right now.

So I just finished watching Linus video on his ultamit travel gaming setup and it got me wondering if it can fix a bottleneck I have in one of my systems. now I am going to be building my own pc in the next copple of years I've just got to sort out some things first so for the mean time I have to work with what I have got and what I have got is a MacBook Pro, running a bootcamp windows 10 OS, somthing that as we all know we can not upgrade the internal hardware. But the computer itself is not that bad the onley real bottle neck in it is the GPU. I'll be playing a generic game on steam. My CPU will be running at 40%. I'll be using 25% of my ram yet my GPU will be running flat out at 100% of corse those are just avage aproxamations the real stats change depending on what I have running. So I'm wondering if there is a external GPU setup that can work with my setup over thunderbolt that I could look in to and if there's any recommendations on what I should buy. I can provide further details about my computers setup when I get home if it's needed. but the base specs are i7 CPU (exsact gen and speed will be added when I get home) 16 GB ram Nvida 720m builtin graphics processer 1TB SSD Macbook pro late 2013 refurbished 2015
