    Lots of RGB-free stuff coming out for you basic…

    hey im just using rgb because it happened to be on the stuff i bought >:DDDDD
  2. the picture that really stood out was a picture of the pc in full light. I had the overhead light on the ceiling turned on and there wasn't anything blocking the shot. Not too big of a deal I don't expect dslr photos from my moms pixel.
  3. if you don't need all that memory consider getting a little less of that and putting a little more into the gpu

    I was using my mom's pixel 3xl to try and get some decent pictures of my computer but for some reason a grid of noise/grain was in some of the better photos. I'm very happy with how it all turned out. I'm just going to spend a little time cleaning up cables and reinstalling my stuff since I didn't have to end up installing a new copy of windows like I thought I would (maybe I got a retail copy from eBay, not an OEM and that's why it was $12).

     

    Here's a video taken from a live shot of a better (still bad) picture I got.

      You can't really expect to get rid of the grain due to how image sensors work.

       

      Merge blending like what the Pixel uses can help but it's not exactly perfect. Nothing is especially in areas of the photo where there isn't much light. 

       

      Your best bet is to live with it or try additional NR if it really bothers you

      Should be fine if you aren't expecting mega clean results.

    i woke up at 4am for no reason today so I got on and played a little csgo and wow is it running fast. I don't see a huge difference just because I was at the same resolution and settings as my old PC. What I really saw the difference in was editing in vegas. It was so much faster just using the program and when I started the render of my video is was clearly going wayyyy faster.

    Finding protein to shove in a diet is not easy.

    Yeah fax, I'm happy I didn't have to wait. I'm in EVGA's flow control software but I can't seem to get it at a static color... Oh well I'll probably hit the EVGA forums where people know everything about specifically this.

    Trying to figure out my rgb cooler isn't easy -.- really tho? I just eat lunch meat or something
  10. Sup forum users, I just build my new PC that I've been planning for over a year and the only issue I still have is that my EVGA CLC 280 liquid cooler isn't recognized by the X1 EVGA software despite me having the block hooked up with the included USB 2.0 cable. Does anyone have this cooler or know what the issue might be? If anyone does that'd be greatly appreciated.

    *Cries in 60hz*

    holy fuck 360hz? The linus video said that they didn't even really see the difference between 240hz and 144hz

    Tracking says my RAM is out for delivery on a mail truck, I'm pretty excited to come home today and build soon. I just have to finish some homework, walk my dog, and then I'm free to plan.

     

    I don't want to take the time to boot linux from a flash drive on my main PC like my brother suggested, because my mom probably won't let me near my computer and I also don't feel like learning how to do it. I'm just planning to swing by my friends house and clear out my team group SSD from his PC and then bike home. I just hope it's not raining crazy hard.

     

    I'm also really worried that I won't be able to fit all the cables in my case because I have the mod one extensions but I really need it to work so I'm most likely going to end up stuffing the cables under the shroud

  13. Interesting, I didn't think about oil in Canada. So it sounds like most of the oil around you has been drilled and the area depends on it. It almost sounds similar to how factory towns become ghost towns as companies out source.
  14. Yeah I got the CLC on sale too, so it was the cheapest AIO over any of the others for the size. Yeah I totally get it, I've just been impatient with this whole process since I've been trying to get a new computer for so long. If I had been a little more patient I could of gotten something a little better but it's not a huge deal, since the 1070 Ti is more than enough for 1080p 144hz. Oil Country? Hmmmm yeah I'm brain farting I can't put True North and oil country together
  15. yeah I'm pretty happy with my 1070 Ti, I got a EVGA FTW2 with all the pretty lights that'll sync up with my CLC 280. I regret buying it when I did though, since the RTX cards came out shortly after and I could have picked up a different card with a better price to performance ratio haha I'm sure you can find an Intel employee around you or can you not bc they don't outsource manufacturing
  16. @dizmo i got a discount i7-8086k from my dad's buddy who works at intel, my 1070 Ti that i've been using for a year, 16gb of 3000mhz RAM, 250gb SSD, 1tb HDD (prolly getting more storage if I can fit it), and a meshify c with a custom blue front panel I have some custom cables from mod one that match the front panel but I'm pretty worried that I'm not going to be able to fit all the cables in the meshify C. If I do it'll be a tight fit. I'm using my shitty seasonic m12ii 620w bronze until I can get $80ish for a new PSU.

    finally, newegg/UPS updated the tracking and it says my RAM will be here tomorrow. I know I was impatient, its just crazy to have the feeling that I'm finally building the PC I've wanted for years and then my RAM doesn't show up. 

     

    My mom was saying I'm not allowed to build until friday which just made me mad at her. She says it falls under the same thing as me not being allowed to play video games during the week. I don't really want to wait any longer and I think I'm just going to finish my homework tomorrow and build it in my room.

      Edmonton haha. It's the gateway to the oil in the north. Which, unfortunately, is also the reason I probably won't be buying a place here as I predict a massive fall in housing prices as oil tapers off.

  18. Modern warefare is on sale for $40 instead of $60.
  19. I'm building my new PC today and I'm having a lot of trouble deciding want to spend my last $50 on. I was first thinking that I would get a 2tb HDD because I clip a lot of shadowplay, but I also want modern warfare, and I also could use some fans so I'm not stuck with some standard free ones. I'm starting to lean towards the fans now, because with the new 8086k I'll be able to make shadowplay compilations easier and upload them off my PC and clear out the HDD but I'm still not able to decide since they're all good choices for me What do you guys think

    not really sure what the vendor of my RAM is doing they took 3 fucking days to create the label just to ship it out I'm not sure if I'll be able to set up my PC before I have to go back to school

      It's probably because of the holidays. Many shops just straight up stopped orders and shipping until the holidays are over.

    got the i7 8086k and ordered new ram and the Meshify C

     

    New PC gonna be finished soon b1g hype

    i think I told you but I remember someone saying youd have to update the dll a lot since vmt hooking in it is detected are you just going to scrap it? or try and keep going

    mfw seasonic prime ultra 550w is $70

     

    still a lot but somehow lower than the other options 

     

    psus change price so much and mail in rebates fucking suck

    1. Spotty

      Spotty

      That's actually pretty good! $30 sale + $20 MIR. Even without the rebate it's cheaper than the Focus Plus Gold.

    As I predicted, Linus lost. Congrats MKBHD!

    I think that's a good perspective. Not always a good thing to go off of when you're trying to pick something to buy/

    maybe people recognize that mkbhd puts a different kind of care into his phone videos and doesn't make shitty reviews either lol ive heard that the pixel 4 review from linus was really bad, if I go for phone reviews I watch dave yee or mkbhd
