    Experiment. I'm by not means a photographer, but I like to think I'm always getting better. The best thing to do is just experiment, and see what works and what doesn't. Learning from experience is, in my opinion, the best way to learn. Tips can be helpful, but I find experience sticks with you better.
     
    Also just look on Google. There are hundreds of articles regarding how to take the best photos with your iPhone, so if you really want some advice that might be a good place to start.

    "How to do good video" is a monumentally deep subject, but some key points might be:
     
    Control your camera: use a tripod, gimbal, or other relevant solution to remove movement that will degrade your image and interrupt your story.
     
    Control the light: this is especially important when shooting on something like a phone. Make sure your subject is well lit and that the background does not distract from your subject. Without knowing more about what you're filming it is difficult to give specific advice on how to achieve this.
     
    Control your sound: people can forgive meh visuals but bad sound will ruin everything it touches. Use the appropriate combination of microphones, recorders, and audio devices to cut ambient noise, capture the sound from your subject, and deliver a clean sound design in your final export.

    What's said above is defenetly the best advice however, when you get the hang of that it's never a bad idea to see how far you could push the color grade...

    Localhost is just another name for the loopback address, 127.0.0.1, which every single computer uses to address itself. Using localhost on a second computer means that the second computer is trying to connect to itself.

    here are the pads I was talking about  https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Large-Replacement-Memory-Earpads/dp/B076SGPZ2D/ref=as_li_ss_tl?srs=8142685011&ie=UTF8&qid=1512019970&sr=8-4&linkCode=sl1&tag=zeos-20&linkId=b997e690320a1bc231baef11fe979a5c so that would bring your total up to like $60

    Corsair HS50 or HS60 if you want to do some gaming too. Watch Best Buy sales, I got mine for $40 and they’re the Dolby 7.1 surround version. Plus, they’re super comfy and I don’t have a problem wearing them for a long period of time.

    Did you install your SATA controller drivers and chipset drivers (may include SATA controller drivers that you use inside)?
    Keep in mind that will not fix files.
    You'll need to clean install Windows, and this time pick 'Load Drivers" on the drive selection screen and pick the uncompressed SATA controller driver *.inf file (Windows is not installed, it can't run .exe's). You'll find them on the motherboard website. Be sure to extract the files first (again, as Windows is not installed, you can't run exe's so you can't extract .zip files like you can in Windows once installed)

    When your source OS is already FUBAR, I'd reinstall using a fresh install medium, using the media creation tool for Windows 10 from microsoft.com.
     
    There's no way to back-up everything easily, that's why I keep all my data in my user folders. Just copy your entire user folder if you do the same. If you store files in all kinds of places and on the C drive in random folders you'll have to do it manually.

    Can also try running command prompt as admin and typing  SFC /scannow
     
    It may or may not be able to fix it.

    All this sounds like malware/virus to me; some of them delete regedit.exe and other system-tools in an effort to prevent people from so easily removing the malware/viruses.

    Well, if you go 32 GB, you probably wouldn't have to upgrade for a long time, if ever. 16 gb would get the job done, though. Doing 4k footage, especially if you plan on editing longer videos, would benefit from 32 gb. It all really depends on what you want.

    i guess noone watches adoredtv videos about binning chiplets. sure not everything is going to be true but why is such a problem to believe 7nm can hit 5ghz when intel hits 5ghz on worse node?

    Oh, yes, you are right, I overlooked that in the specs. So in that case, it probably is more what you prefer. Would you want to put the evo in your pc later, or do you just want to have the portable so you can use it wherever?

    Make good use of the psu shroud and don't just shove everything in there, it will look much better if you bundle all excess cables. Also zip-tie all those small cables together and hide it behind bigger cables. Here is how mine looks. I've got 6 fans in there, D5 pump, hue+ with 6 strips, fan hub ... a lot of cables you don't see if you do it right.

    Is that a PSU shroud? If that is the case, you can stuff some of the cables in there, especially the ones at the bottom that are hanging out on the desk.

    ZFGeek got a reaction from gbergeron in 580 or 1060 ???   
    It would be best if you could spend the extra $80 the get the gtx 1060. It is ultimately the more future-proof card. If you can't pay the extra, the 580 would probably do just fine.

    The thing is, when inexplicable problems arise, it's less time consuming to start off fresh than trying to troubleshoot.

    ZFGeek reacted to NelizMastr in Need help picking PSU   
    I'd say a good budget PSU would be the CX550 or CX450M by Corsair. Also change the board to a B350 chipset, A320 boards are generally quite poor and not suited to anything more than a Ryzen 3 setup.

    Windows is just an operating system. It doesn't really have relation to you changing hardware unless you are referring to updating drivers etc.
    It will recognise the hardware change and should just sort itself out. Even more so with Win10. Get yourself onto 10. Good luck.
