  1. aaaaa ok good to know!! What way would you go build wise?
  2. That's right only the "k" has igpu, that one must be in my kids, good catch! So are you saying the 5600g setup for a new gaming, or for the server build and stay with what I got?
  3. So I need to build my wife a new server at her office for a stand alone program that goes onto the server only, then all terminals in the office use a shortcut link placed onto their desktop linked to the server to log in. The software company suggests a min of i7 8th gen (no other info) up to a Xeon QC 8th Gen, 64gb DDR4 2400 ECC. I have a EVGA FTW Z390, with i9-9900K, 32gb running at 3200, now and am curious, I do 80% gaming, 10% streaming, 10% data / video rendering with my current setup. Should I for the money we are about to spend upgrade to a newer Intel or AMD, or just build her a computer and leave mine be. Not sure if anything really beats the 9900k yet, see lots of mixed reviews still. See most people say the 5950X, but then read it is a "gaming only" style chip?? Thank you for any and all help! Budget (including currency): Country: Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
  4. Thank you very much for your help on this!!!!
  5. So is there an advatage with WD Black vs Seagate CUDA / Fire / Ironworf vs HG vs Toshiba etc, or are all about the same?
  6. ok cool I have a couple Cuda drives but then been the ironwolfs and I have a WD Black, but did not know if any one processed images better than another, or if going HDD 7200RPM is just so old, but perfected tech it no longer matters lol
  7. in the 4TB plus, what is the better brand, and line within that brand for storing only pics and videos. Thank you all!
  8. Aorus and ROG still the best MOBO out?
  9. Awesome, seems to be the common answer for sure!!! Thank you all for the help!
  10. Seems to be the common trend answer lol. Thank you!
  11. Just making sure I am not throwing good money at bad choices. IE, product X is better now and for the future like the 9900 was, so spend the money and buy it, or is the 9900 still a fighter and nothing has really came out to justify the cost upgrade and stay with it and just get a new mobo
  12. That was my thought too when I looked at the speeds everyone is getting on the new stuff. Seemed like less than 10% for a ton of money was average
  13. Mobo went poo last night and I have a 9900KF as of now. The mobo for a Z390 is almost same money as a Z590 Do I stay with the 9900, or is there something intel has out that is significantly better to justify the upgrade, or Do we go AMD. Alot of things I read say the 5600X in most cases, will smack around a intel??? I am a ride or die intel guy so I favor them out of the gate, as that is what I have used for gaming since 2005, but am open since money is all of our friends, even more now as I get older HAHA Not looking to spend 800+ on a CPU! Thank you all for your help!
  14. GOT IT, thank you for the help there!!! So both of the AT ones you talk about are XLR hook ups, and that are jack style or USB that you would recommend?
  15. So my son stream with his sister and friends sometimes in the same room. With the mic from the C920 it worked great!!!! We moved him to a DSLR and a external mic and have tried Razor, CMTECK, Moukey, Tonor and all noise cancel past about 1-2 feet, even though they claim otherwise. I got the CMTECK to pick up the voices 80% of the time, but the music in the background 0%
  16. What microphone do you guys recommend that clearly will pick up music, people, all audio of any kind within a 10 foot radius and not cancel out whatever it decides

    Solar, so I was reading you post about 144vs240…

    Also does the monitors today have the tech to use all 240 and can we as humans tell the difference?

    Solar, so I was reading you post about 144vs240…

    Yeah in does it all the time, drives me nuts, but if I turn it down to 144 then its solid. I have the 2080 TI EVGA, so I called them and they suggested a VESA cable, so I bought them, and changed nothing. It is a freesync not a true gsync https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/42da So I guess Ill be sending it back lol All drivers are UTD on mobo and all software and hardware. Even downloaded dell's monitor software and no luck IPS for sure seemed to have better colors or is that just me? with their monitor and settings they have make it look better? Thanks!
  19. Solar, so I was reading you post about 144vs240. So I have a Asus XG258 TN panel I "run" at 240.

     

    I bought the AW 27" 240hz IPS, but if I push it to 240 the monitor blacks out for .5-1 full second. Is that because its all BS @240 still?

     

    IPS seemed to have way better color, so is a 2k IPS at 144 better than 1080 240?  All I do it bame.  Thanks!

      Yes IPS has better picture quality over TN

      Specific picture settings used can improve the image quality but it has to be calibrated properly for best results and the specific calibration settings will vary from panel to panel even within the same model of display.

       

      Out of the 3 panel types IPS have an easier time reaching higher color coverage.

      VS TN they are superior in image quality but somewhat slower on pixel response.

       

      VA 'can' be just as accurate as IPS but its harder to do so the ones that are good are expensive, VA do however have far better contrast and black levels VS IPS which for some can make much more of a difference on the perceived picture quality over any small % difference in color coverage.

      VA however have a very hard time with pixel response speed on dark transitions which results in most suffering from higher levels of 'blur' which isnt great for gamers. Though again there are a few that are good enough, but they to are expensive. VA is no good for 240hz though, and hile u may find a few displays that are VA and 240hz being sold, u should stear clear of them as VA simply isnt fast enough to handle 240hz.

    Thanks for the help!

    PCI-e WIFI

    ok cool, so with that router I have a dedicated 50x50 line. In your opinion, will I ever hit the ax speed or is the cheaper way all good?

    PCI-e WIFI

    I run the ROG AX11000 router, distance is about 20 ft, 1 wall. I have seen some reviews of ones getting hot and shutting down, some not near as fast as others etc. Thanks!
