    https://smile.amazon.com/Converter-192kHz-Techole-Aluminum-Converter-Headphone/dp/B07MPF4F68/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2SJHGOHP8J1PB&dchild=1&keywords=digital+output+to+rca+cable&qid=1617610766&sprefix=digital+output+to%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3 You could get something like this^ It's the first thing I found on amazon, so I don't know if it's good or not

    I think it's not working because those are input ports. Does you TV have any ports that say output?

    Ah, gotcha. For modeling in CAD then for free, you could use Sketchup. https://www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing/sketchup-free#:~:text=SketchUp Free is the simplest,with you wherever you go. There's more than a few youtube tutorials to help get you started. But if you're at University, I would recommend just downloading Solidworks CAD because for you, it's free and it's a powerful program to learn to use. Also, when your group member designs the actual parts in CAD, you would be able to view his files.

    Would you be drawing a simple design or modeling a simple design? Also, are you in college or high school? I ask because a lot of colleges offers Solidworks for download for free.

    Thank you!

    Agreed, as long as it's not "hot to the touch". You also have a 3080 so you have much more heat being produced by your system. If you are really worried about it, you could always reconfigure the airflow for your case in a way that most of the hot air from the gpu gets ejected from the back instead of it being ejected through the power supply. Don't know if that's possible, I'm unfamiliar with your case, but it should be fine regardless.

    What does the computer sit on? What is the airflow in the computer like?

    What I have is a DAC connected to a computer, an amp connected to the DAC, and headphones to the amp. For theoretical best audio quality, should I turn up the computer audio and turn down the amp, or should I turn down the computer audio and turn up the amp and why?

    That's a good point, I didn't even consider if my cpu supports 3200mhz >.> Fortunately for me, the kit that I bought is just 4$ more than the kit that runs at 3000 I'll probably try to run 48gb config first and see if it's even stable because I definitely need those two extra chrome tabs open. Thank you!
  11. StyvyStiefel
    Is there an extra benefit to using the 3200mhz option over the 2400mhz?

    Is the cooler lose? What do your temps look like when you play a game?

    Hey all, I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! I just bought a ddr4 ram upgrade kit of 32gb that runs at 3200mhz, but the ram I have right now is 2 8gb sticks that runs at 2400mhz. So the question is, should I keep the 16gbs installed, install the additional 32gb, and have it run at 2400mhz for a total of 48gbs of ram? Or, do I install the 32gbs and have it run at 3200mhz? I have a Ryzen 2700x on a ASRock B450 PRO4. I game on the side, but I mostly use programs like Solidworks, Labview, photoshop, 1000 tabs of chrome, and some video editing once in a while. Thanks!

    Here is a useful tool that I don't know if you're aware of or not: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ PC part picker allows you to build a computer with prices included with a compatibility filter enabled that can help prevent you from building a computer with parts that don't go together. It's pretty intuitive. Here's a video of Linus comparing the efficiency and price points of the new Ryzen's versus Intel lineup: Good luck!

    I replaced the paste with the pad and now my temps are better, for anyone wondering. When I removed the heating pipes to the cpu, the paste was in fact dry! EDIT* Just to be clear, King Arthur's solution would yield better temperatures, but I wanted this to be a place and forget forever situation.

    I'm sorry, but your motherboard might be dead. The computer should be able to boot with one stick of memory in, and there are no compatibility issues. Check the cpu to make sure there are no bent pins, or any missing pins. Last ditch effort, unplug everything connected to the motherboard except power, and cooling for cpu. Have one stick in and try to turn it on by shorting the two pins to the power switch with a screwdriver to see if it boots.
