Luddy † reacted to minibois in Does my 24pin replacement cable work with my PSU?
Looks correct to me.
Corsair Type 4 cables. I don't see mention of the gen 3 part on their cable compatibility site, but I'd have to assume that's just an internal revision. Type 4 remains Type 4.

The RM550X uses the Type 4 24 pin ATX cable,
The AX Platinum (which the AX760 seems to be) uses a different 24 pin standard ("AX Only").
AX760 and AX860 appear to both be Platinum, meaning they do not use the same 24 pin standard as the Type 4 on the RM550X.
So you're looking for a Corsair Type 4 24 pin ATX cable, like @seon123 linked
This is also used by:
- AX1600i
- AX Titanium
- HX Platinum
- RMi
- RM (2019)
- And of course RMX

You have to get any Corsair Type 4 cable. Here is the listing on Corsair's EU website. Click the "Find a Retailer" button to see if it's available in your area. If you're not in Europe, you could still look for the cable, or you could contact Corsair customer support.

Luddy † reacted to FRD in Does my PC support this RAM?
I think the HyperX ram you chose doesn't work.
You need DDR3 RAM with 1600mhz, not 1866mhz like in your example.
Also the description says it needs CAS latency 11, they HyperX is 10. I'm not sure though, maybe someone can correct me on this.
What should be correct is that you chose a dual kit.
A random recommended kit, even though there are tons of options available, also different depending on locations and DDR3 isn't that common as before:
Crucial CT2K51264BD160B

Luddy † reacted to Uptivuptiz in What VR-Headset is the best?
If you don't care about the higher refreshrate on the Index, then I'd recommend that you go out and find a HTC Vive HMD with basestations and then buy the Index controllers.

Luddy † reacted to Arika in What VR-Headset is the best?
Valve index is the "best"
otherwise i would highly suggest the oculus Quest (just got mine today) 100% wireless operation for a significantly lower cost than the competition is incredible. and now with Oculus Link, it can be used just like a normal desktop headset flawlessly

Luddy † reacted to AndreiArgeanu in What VR-Headset is the best?
The HP Reverb G2 is a VR headset that is coming soon that is made with Steam and Microsoft, and from my understanding the headset is pretty well equipped and is compatible with Valve Index controllers.

Here's a quick comparison offered on HP's website to give you an idea about how it stacks up with other VR headsets

Luddy † reacted to Alex Atkin UK in Will Windows every get a ecosystem like Apple?
Not to mention the EU.
While I understand their reasons, it doesn't seem fair that Apple got a free pass to do all the things Microsoft got into trouble for trying to do. If they are going to set rules for what you can and cannot build-in at the OS level, it should apply across all OS vendors, not just the biggest at the time.

Luddy † reacted to Dissitesuxba11s in Finished my Test Bench
Looks like there are already two SSD sleds/mounts on the side, OP just didn't use them
Hopefully the base is heavy enough that whenever you are mounting something on the motherboard, like a GPU, it doesn't start tipping back.

Luddy † got a reaction from LukeSavenije in Finished my Test Bench
So when I started this a couple weeks ago I didn’t have in mind to build a wooden test bench, but since I didn’t have the tools to weld pieces apart from the case, I decided to build a wooden bench with some inspiration from YouTube. I’m quite happy about how it turned out in the end and it’s functionality, though it’s not finished yet as I’m gonna drill holes for the cables to go through and the power button will be drilled to the wood. Just need the tools first

Luddy † reacted to Ace Balthazar in Extrenal vs Internal Soundcard?
Hello,
I deal with audio a lot due to my hobbies and where I work.
To directly answer your question, you should get an external DAC (Digital Audio Converter) and headphone amp. This will reduce electromagnetic interference coming from your PC, which internal sound cards that have dedicated headphone amps can suffer from.
now to supply with more information,
DAC's and amps can come as separate units or in a sort of all-in-one unit. Either would be fine for your situation, you just have to find one that suits your needs. I will not recommend any right now, as I do not know what kind of budget you have, nor do I know your needs outside of it being able to run your headphones.
I hope you find this information helpful

Unless you're a hardcore audiophile, you'll never notice the difference...

Luddy † reacted to Timotheus2 in Extrenal vs Internal Soundcard?
There is no such thing as "gaming sound". Get an external one. Those don't have to use gaming marketing to sell their stuff.
-
Luddy † reacted to Bananasplit_00 in Extrenal vs Internal Soundcard?
i really like my Soundblaster Z, but generally the external ones are considered better
-
Luddy † reacted to WereCat in Extrenal vs Internal Soundcard?
Sound is sound. You either like how it sounds or you don't.
Sound card is usually AMP, you get it if you can't get the volume high enough.
You get DAC if your audio suffers from noise.
Any modern PC should be capable of having both good enough.
Unless you're hard-core into audio, don't bother.
-
Luddy † reacted to NinJake in Is Soundcards Dead For Music and/or Gaming?
I'd say 99% of the time, don't get a soundcard. As others have stated, external DACs and AMPs are the way to go, but at this point it's just like building a PC. You can "game just fine" on a $800 PC, but some people are enthusiasts and would rather get the best or the best or really customize the look of the system.
When it comes to audio, the onboard audio is fine but you can shell out some extra cash for higher quality trinkets.
-
Luddy † reacted to bellabichon in Is Soundcards Dead For Music and/or Gaming?
Most motherboards $100 USD and higher already have pretty good onboard audio, making a soundcard not necessary, unless you're either a pro gamer, or a total audiophile.
-
Luddy † reacted to Nocte in Is Soundcards Dead For Music and/or Gaming?
Gaming audio? Not really needed, unless you want a theatrical experience.
For listening to music (and by music I do not mean YouTube, I mean *.flac files etc.), soundcards are definitely better than on-board audio.
But if you were serious about sound you would probably want to invest in DAC/AMPs.
-
Luddy † reacted to Max_Settings in Is Soundcards Dead For Music and/or Gaming?
Sound cards have always been dead from a quality audio perspective. Putting sensitive audio electrical components inside an PC with a ton of EMI is a recipe for disaster. External DAC/Amps however are still very much a thing and used for many headphones in the audiophile space.
Also BTW if you are thinking of buying DT990s don't. DT880 are far better.

Luddy † reacted to qqqqqq in Are these temps acceptable on a 7700K?
At 4.6GHz those temps are a little high, especially for that voltage. I also highly recommend de-lidding your CPU if you aim higher.
