    AntiHero got a reaction from xAcid9 in Switching my OS, but to what... (linux gaming related)   
    Funny, it's actually what I wound up doing. I tried pop OS for a little bit but I really just wasn't feeling the aesthetic and I much happier with Manjaro.

    AntiHero got a reaction from Lurick in certifications?   
    Good input so far, thanks guys. Seems like CCNA is deff one to go after, another people CEH (or so i've been told, but that requires some experience first).
    I'm actually in a course for this now as part of my cyber security/digital forensics major.

    As far as coding languages go, I have a good bit of java under my belt but java seems to be abit dated, I'm defiantly going to be picking up python in the very near future.

    ICND have both been retired actually. I just realized that myself but as of Feb this year they are no more and it's all rolled into the CCNA.

    AntiHero reacted to Oshino Shinobu in certifications?   
    Kind of depends who you talk to. 
     
    Some people think any cert has some value, even if the content's not the advanced. On the other hand, I know some people at the company I work for are pretty picky when it comes to certs. CompTIA is one where I know people who laugh at it, in particular networking guys, but that's likely because of the level that Cisco certs go to, as well as Juniper and Palo Alto but to a lesser extent. 
     
    The A+ cert is kind of useless if you ask me. There's a lot of outdated and useless information that rarely ever gets used. That said, it doesn't hurt to have it. 
     
    For networking in particular, CCNA is seen as the starting point for most network specific roles. You can do it as one cert or do ICND1 and 2, which gives you CCNA when you get both. 
     
    The most difficult part for most people is getting into a starting position to begin with. CompTIA will definitely help with that, but after that it's mostly experience and your reputation if you ask me, especially for moving within a company. There's a lot you can learn through experience that's never covered in an exam or cert. Some of the most technical people in the company I work at don't have any certs but their knowledge is valued and practical. If they sat an exam without prepping they'd probably fail it, but in terms of real world knowledge and skills in the subject, they're better than most.

    Many people just resell those for 10-25% of the original price and let other play with mentioned bios swapping, baking them and so on. I had few GPU's, didn't sell, so just scrapped them for copper, boards and gold pins :V

    AntiHero reacted to TheBahrbarian in harddrive migration   
    Yeah it makes a difference because moving windows isn't quite as easy. I personally have never done it, I know there can be some complications when it comes to moving windows keys across new hardware. I am fairly sure you should still be able to use that free software (Macrium reflect) to copy everything over, I just don't know exactly how moving windows works. I am sure if you google "moving windows to new drive" or something along those lines you will find some decent guides that will tell you better than I can how to move everything over.
     
    Edit: A quick google search seems to show that there area couple migration tools you can use to make this process fairly painless. One i found was called "EaseUS Todo Backup Free" or something like that. I can't recommend a specific one to use, just take a look around and I am sure you will find a decent one as well as a step by step guide, shouldn't be too hard.

    It's just stupid not being able to nominate a game for multiple categories, since I just had to pick some random games I had never even heard of for the other categories.

    AntiHero reacted to Worstcaster in Steam 2019 best games!   
    Not being able to vote the same game in multiple categories was a problem for me.  Linking the full rewards package to completion was another problem which will probably skew their results.  For example, I have no VR setup and have not played VR.  I voted Beat Saber in the category because I had heard the name here before and it came up as acceptable when entered.

    AntiHero reacted to 1van in New cooler for i9   
    i9-9900K has a thermal interface limitation of about 200W. I.e. no matter what cooler you install, the CPU die will only be able to pass about 200W to it, due to the thermal interface between the die and the heatspreader.
    Check Der8auer's videos on youtube for confirmation.
    If you don't plan to delid the CPU, both your existing AIO or a NH-D15 are fine, no need to change.

    Did you check performance while streaming/recording? Because that's different than just straight game performance.

    I agree, but the monitors with gsynq in my country cost over 500€ x-x. So, unless it rains money, I won't spend that much on a monitor

    I already have a monitor. It's Asus VG245Q. I bought it for 200€, it's a great monitor and value for money. It has freesynq, but I have never experienced neither freesynq nor gsynq, so I don't care much. If my Nvidea graphics card works with my freesynq monitor it will be great, and if it won't work it will be fine for me

    Hello guys, I'm a beginner at the world of PC building and I need the help of the pros to build a pc for gaming (all settings on ultra with at least 70-75fps), video editing, video recording while playing a game (all settings on high with at least 80fps), (beginner) programming and to use virtual windows 10 (Window's Sandbox) or virtual linux on windows. With the help of my friends I've chose those pieces:
     
    Case: Aerocool Aero-500 (Window)
    Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Box
    GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB Windforce OC
    SSD: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB
    HDD: Western Digital Blue 3.5" 3TB
    Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
    DVD-RW: LG GH24NSD1
    PSU: Be Quiet Straight Power 11 650W
    Fans: 3 Arctic F12 PWM
     
    Now for the PSU I was thinking either the one I refered above or the Seasonic Prime 650W Platinum D2, but I don't know which one is better. What do you guys think?

    ~5 years.
    Though some have been known to fail earlier.
     
    They do have a finite life unfortunately. its why generally its best to stick with a top end air coolers rather than get an AIO, unless u know u need something a little better than air performance wise, in which case u grab a 360mm rad AIO. The more popular 240mm AIO's , and smaller, are really not worth it performance and cost wise.
