    2 audio inputs 1 headset (Bluetooth)

    in Audio

    Posted

    Im trying to listen to music while I work that's my goal.

     At work I have a old Motorola walkie-talkie it has Bluetooth output we are supposed to wear a earpiece so that others can't hear what we are saying over the radio I'm allowed to use pretty much any headset I want as long as it is the in ear design what I want to do is play music through my ear piece or Bluetooth headphones while still able to talk or receive calls through the radio on the headset I don't mind carrying a dac or even buying a new head set I just want to be able to receive calls from the radio and listen to music from my phone on the headset I wear

    So from what I'm piecing together, this is a VR-intended rig for work, which needs to be small format for portability, and you need multiple PCI slots on the board for various cards?

    You may have to jump over to an intel CPU to get what you want. An intel i5-8600k will give you very similar performance to the Ryzen 2700x, for a similar price. It sounds like you're in development work for VR, the 8600k will be enough to run VR games and do all the compiling you need. The main benefit to the Ryzen CPUs is multi-core performance, which doesn't really show in games anyways. The 8600k has a faster single-core speed at the base clock, so it'll be better for games. If you can afford it, get an 8700k. (Note, for the 8600k or 8700k, you will need to purchase your own cooler, as they do not come with stock coolers.)

    The reason I say you need to switch to intel is because, quite simply, there aren't any mATX wifi boards available for ryzen (AM4), and that's the only way for you to get all the slots you need, excluding PCIe riser cards, which wouldn't fit in a mATX form factor anyways, and would split your bandwidth.

    So back up top, you'll get the best performance from a Z370 board, but if you're trying to keep a budget, a B360 board will do well too. Don't get any H310 boards, as (from my understanding and limited research) they have reduced bandwidth to their PCIe lanes.

    Sparing no expense, go for the MSI Z370 Gaming PRO AC, a mATX board with built-in wifi, and four PCIe lanes: two full-length and two small PCIe slots. Comes USB 3.1 slots in the back, as well as one USB 3.1 Type C. If you need to save a bit, maybe the EVGA Z370 Micro ATX.

    Hope this helps!

    That really sucks I had my heart set on a 2700x for various reasons if I went up to a atx mb how small/portable could I make the PC do you know of a case

    PS thank you

    then you need AM4 board, not the ones @Philostic listed out.

     

    btw mITX boards mostly come with WiFi. I myself recommend the Asrock X470 Gaming-ITX/ac board.

     

    Also you could use the non-X 2700 instead, can be overclocked to match the 2700x if not surpass it.

    I found a good deal on the 2700x with a price difference of $14 that mixed with the fact that the 2700x has a better cooler and can reach a slightly higher over clock then the 2700 I think it's worth it

    I thought the x variant was the overclocking one I may have my chips backwards

    So what do you need in total?
    For the USB 3.0 you can find a case with USB3 front I/O and use a Mobo with a few USB 3.0 in the rear, that shouldnt be an issue. So you need one slot for a wifi adapter, one for the vive?

     

    Was talking about the wifi card, not GPU.

    The sensors for the rift work better with this card to to lanes and bandwidtd limitations plus I would need a minimum of 7 USB 3 all able to run at full usb3 speed

    I'm looking to build a small-ish form factor gaming PC for cyber Monday I'm having a hard time finding a moather that has a pcie x1 slot in addition to the pcie slots for my GPU matx is perfect but they don't have built in wifi and if I use the pcie x1 for the wifi that removes the pcie slots I need for another card it would work if there was one with WiFi and a extra pcie x1

    Hey so I've been looking for a GPU to put into VR system I'm going to buy and build during black Friday/cyber Monday. While looking at GTX 1080ti's I found Titan x cards for around $600 while 1080ti go up to $800 which leads me to ask what will prices be on cyber Monday and price to performance Wich is or will be the better buy 

     

     

    Here is a link to the Titan x I'm taking about

    I'm looking for a soild built small/portable case that can hold a gtx 1080ti and 2 additional pcie express slots it's going to be moved around a lot so I'd prefer it not have glass sides and a handle would be preferable I'd like a case that's pretty small but obviously not a tiny console sized PC. Thx?

    Oh I was mistaken, I thought the wireless adapter came off the link box.

    Yeah I realize I'm looking for a full PC in a smaller form im looking for a matx case that has room for a gpu and 2 free pcie slots I was just looking for something that could provide that with out me lugging around a large tower

    Not sure what you mean by 2100s, like the next gen RTX cards? After market isn't as important as the right behavior, and I must say, a blower card is the best for small form factor, and founders edition is the best blower model. Also, you don't need to worry about PCIe wifi, there are itx motherboards with WiFi built in.

    I'm not worried about wifi the Vive  has a wireless adapter for it but in order to use it I'll need a free pcie slots so I'm probably looking for a micro atx case I'm not as worried about having a tiny computer as much as a portable one like a lanbox pc preferably with a handle but i can mod in a handle

    What 1080ti? Do you have a preference?

    All I know is I want an after market but I would like to upgrade to the 2100's or what ever they call them when they come out given prices aren't an extreme I just want to have room for options it doesn't have to be the smalles pc just portable and smaller then a full tower thanks ?

    MSI have a backpack that would work for you LTT did a vid on it a while ago

    Msi back pack dosent have pcie slots available for the wireless card or the extra USB 3.0 I want to install plus I'd rather build something and get a better product for the money I plan on buying everything on Black Friday/ cyber Monday thanks though ?
