Why haven't they done anything to make their handhelds eGPU compatible? I get that the SteamDeck runs Linux and ROG has their own overpriced eGPU but cmon, those are some big anti-consumer moves. It would have been nice to have a handheld attached to an eGPU to the TV when not traveling and then just disconnect it as needed.

ITX B760 vs Z790 vs Z690 for gaming, same price
Keltyx98 replied to Keltyx98's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks! This basically makes the Asus ROG Strix B760 the only and best option. I was afraid of the B-series because I've read in other forums that they have downvolting issues with 13th gen CPUs -
ITX B760 vs Z790 vs Z690 for gaming, same price
Keltyx98 replied to Keltyx98's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks! Is there a specific reason for it? Better VRMs? Good build quality? -
ITX MoBos: Asus ROG B760, AsRock Z790M and Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ULTRA all have a similar price. Which is the best one? afaik Asus makes B-series mobos that you can use to OC a little bit so I guess they have higher quality components, AsRock's mobo looks extremely simple but it has the Z790 chipset. Lastly, Gigabyte looks like it's in the middle: older gen chipset but still more "rich" than AsRock's mobo. I heard that between a Z690 and a Z790 there isn't much difference but the newer version (Z790 or B760) have better DDR5 memory controllers, right?

Switched Case and system doesn't turn on anymore
Keltyx98 replied to Keltyx98's topic in Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLVED Apparently I made the stupid mistake where I left a mobo standoff screwed in right under the CPU Power connector. That probably made a short circuit and stopped the PC to turn on. Not screwing all the mobo screws in is okay, however you need to pay attention that there are no standoffs left where there are no mobo holes. I'm happy nothing burned or broke because of this rookie mistake. -
Hello, I moved my system on a new case and it won't turn on anymore. I have already checked all the steps of the pinned troubleshooting thread. Behavior: With ATX and CPU power cables attached the PC won't turn on, no fans spinning, no LEDs. Shorting the pins on the mobo don't work. With only the ATX cable inserted it doesn't turn on HOWEVER if I unplug the ATX and plug it back in it does turn on (LED turn on, fans start spinning, GPU LED turn on). The PSU works because I tested shorting the pins and the fan would spin, 5V standby is also present. This system worked perfectly in the past in the same case (only different CPU) Setup: R5 5600 2x8GB 3200MHz HyperX Fury Gigabyte B450i Aorus pro wifi rev1.0 mini ITX Gigabyte GTX1070 Windforce PSU Seasonic Core GM-500 Case: Seasonic SST-GD09B

My providing a valid source. Similar to wikipedia (of course, wikipedia is not perfect)

Cant find all that detailed data but here are the builds: - High end - Budget gaming Everything standard, no OC, no under voltage. The test is: 1h 4k Youtube 30min of Cinebench R23 10 runs of Shadow of the Tom Raider Benchmark at 1440p, high details Yeah I know this test doesn't simulate an "office usage" at all

Absolutely, that's why I think that the only thing that makes sense is if you have a laptop around that you don't use. Personally, the struggle to move everything on a laptop to save 34.- (or even 60.-) a year is not worth it.

Since every week we see more bad things from big brands, may it be anti-repair things, privacy violation, replace components during production, etc. Why not make a website/database where people can list all the bad things a brand has done? (with a good source, ofc). Good things would also be listed. For me, when shopping things that are all basically the same, the brand becomes an important factor: "Do they actually care about customers?" "Are they using slave labour?" "Has a sister company done something bad?". A ranking/list would help a lot to choose. I don't know if I can get my idea through. It can be just a list, a wikipedia-like website or a website that looks like a shopping platform but when you filter by "Vacuum Cleaners", only the brands with their profile show up.

My first computer was an all-in-one that my dad set up with edubuntu.

At the beginning they put some links with the builds. The high end has an i9-13900k, ROG strix RTX3080 EVA, ROG maximus Z790 hero, 2x16GB 6000MHz Ripjaws S5, Fractal Lumen S24 AiO, Corsair RM850x and a 1000GB Crucial P5. The efficiency difference between a gold and a platinum psu at 20% load is 5%. So if enegy is a problem but money is note, sure, go for it. But PSU rating really plays a minimal role on a gaming PC when you could probably save 20% of the energy by just changing the brand of the GPU.

digitec.ch made an interesting article (only in German for now, sorry) where they compare the different power consumption of different machines for home office. Turns out that the energy consumption differs a lot but if you would buy an M2 Mac Mini for home office because it's 98% more energy efficient than the gaming computer it wold take you about 8 years to pay it back and start actually saving on the energy bill. (Considering Swiss prices) What this article teaches me is that, if I have a laptop or an office computer laying around I should use it (if it performs well enough for home office). I might save 60$ a year. What do you think? I was surprised by the NUC's energy consumption given it has a (high-end) mobile CPU. I would have preferred if they would have included a generic office computer, either prebuilt or DIY. Budget gaming PC and NUC would be overkill for me but a laptop might not be enough. The prices are in Swiss Francs. 1 CHF is about 1 USD

My girlfriends want to buy one of those sticks that come with two controller because she wants to play some retro game. I was wondering if these sticks are anything good, they are pretty cheap. Are the games actually emulated or are them some bootleg nintendo games? I would like to avoid plugging one in in my TV and get some viruses or strange stuff.
