  1. Was this posted a little early lol? It's still unlisted Forum getting early access before FP big bruh moment /s
  2. Disappointed this isn’t more beef, that woulda been funny. that gradient loading time tho
  3. I’d say the scarlet would be a better choice if you aren’t going to need many inputs or sound effects right there. My 2i2 has been doing great for years and sounds great outputting to my 990s or other speakers.
  4. Banned for assuming they were assuming.
  5. You aren't going to be able to take full advantage of such powerful cards with a lower end CPU in the vast majority of situations. There might be a few, but probably not common ones Will you get 1080p144? Depends on the game. But it will still be a big upgrade if you're using the iGPU in the 3400g no matter what (if you can find one that is)
  6. I'd love to see a video of trying to game on an LED wall. You can get some crazy high resolution/scale "screens" out of them, and might make for a sick gaming experience (depending on input lag and if you can drive it with a mortal PC. Would be interesting to get into the processors and dedicated equipment that go into them as well (signal processors, what the actual segments of the wall look like, etc) Probably could find a production rental company around the Vancouver area that would be into a collab too
  7. If you go to disk manager, right click on the boot partition on your C drive, there should be an option to expand it to fill the drive
  8. Have you considered you might be holding it wrong /s
  9. Yeah at least. To be safe I'd go with a 850w, which would also leave more headroom for a higher end CPU down the line, but a 750w should do fine. I wouldn't push it and go 650w, the cards have spikes in power draw that can trigger overcurrent protection
  10. And I bet you'll still fill it up in a shorter amount of time that you think you will lol, happens to me with my SSD all the time
  11. If it was there when your card was shipped, it's probably part of the design and shouldn't be touched. The die has horrible thermal paste application RN, try repasting it
  12. I wouldn't be worried if it's under full load for an extended period, but if it's only like 50-70%, then you might want to try repasting it 88c won't damage the card
  13. If you want something right now, maybe a 2060 super or 2070 super if you can find one. AMD 6000 series might be a good option once they arrive and if they live up to expectations, or if you want to wait a while see how a 3060 does.
  14. Elgato makes some great stuff, I use their PCIe ones for broadcast video and have had no problems with it. I think the HD60 pro has passthrough, so you would be able to plug your HDMI from the console into the capture card, bring that signal into OBS or something for separate streaming/recording, and then it would be "laglessly" passed through to the HDMI out port of the card so you could plug a TV or monitor into that cable.
  15. lol didn't realize my signature even said that anymore since I have them disabled
  16. MC servers are completely single threaded, so better performance will come from faster CPU cores. RAM is important, so I'd go with at least 3.5-8GB per server allocation, depending on how many slots each server is going to handle. If you're just running some minigame instances on some of your servers, they don't need as much RAM, but for a main lobby/hub you'll want more RAM (you can change RAM allocation with the java command you use to start the server). Make sure to also leave a little bit of overhead for your (I'm assuming) linux OS running on the server. So maybe you might want to look into 64gb of RAM, but that will all come down to testing. If you're planning on connecting the servers to each other (a network) Using bungee as a proxy combined with spigot servers is the best way to do a network on one machine IMO. Also, make sure your machine's firewall is configured to only allow clients to directly connect to port 25565. Don't let them connect to the ports of individual servers. Bungee should do this by default, but just make sure of that.
  17. Try reseating your CPU as another step. Could just be bad contact is causing an issue.
  18. IMO if ryzen had a large reputation for dying you'd be hearing more about it. Never had any problems with my 3900x. Not saying ryzen doesn't die, but random failures can/do happen, and often don't point to a massive lifespan problem with an entire line. It's a little premature in my opinion to look for a controversy over one chip dying. See if you can get some sort of warranty service from your prebuilt company
  19. I always route my fan cables right next to or under heatsinks to make them less noticeable. Don't be afraid to run a cable behind the back panel only to feed it through the same hole back to the front again. That will get rid of a lot of the excess in the fan wires. If there's a ton of slack in the cables at the front, pull them a little tighter, especially for fans and IO. Also, route that 12pin to dual 8 pin under the GPU a bit, that will let the front of the card be less obstructed (just make sure it doesn't interfere with the fan blades there).
  20. Make sure the RAM is at least 3000mhz, since you didn't list the speed here. Honestly I'd spend a bit more on the SSD, you're going to fill up a 240gb really fast, and for heavier video files you don't want to be working off a HDD. 1tb SATA SSDs have really been coming down in price recently, so if you have the budget definitely look for something larger with a DRAM cache.
  21. I've been happy with my mATX b550 ASRock board, and heard good things about gigabyte's b550 stuff. My last mobo was an Asus, and if you value RGB, Aura Sync was a complete nightmare. ASRock's software might not look as good, but at least it's stable. I have no reference for the MSI board, but they've also had some bad press and issues with other x570 boards. Take that opinion with a grain of salt tho. If I were going to get one I'd probably do the Gigabyte just because the IO is pretty good, and that's really the differentiating factor besides appearance with the ASRock Don't see how this is relevant...
