I have been trying to figure out how to get AV out of the Gamecube to capture card/modern TV with high quality visuals, but then I consider, maybe there is a better/another solution that will fit most of my consoles instead of just one. The short answer is what you recommended. OSSC. I was looking at this device. However, I have come across the Epiphan below. Time for more research. Thanks. It seems like insanity is just around the corner for me already even though I just started this journey. I was looking at increasing the video quality of the Gamecube, but wanted a solution for all of systems. That might be a fool's errand. Looking into dot crawl and analog capture. Thanks.

I'm looking for an all-in-one solution for playing/capturing retro footage on my monitor/TV with the aid of a capture card. Right now, the video quality is horrible. There was an Anthony video with a similar subject. I'm not familiar with this kind of setup, but I am trying to learn. This is what I want to do. Gamecube > adapter to HDMI > Capture Card. It would be nice to plug other retro systems like a SNES into this setup if possible. I do not have composition cables for my Gamecube or other systems. Do I have options here? Any suggestions? Thank you!

Do you know many LEDs is a hard cap for this kind of project? If I am programming this myself, there wouldn't be a limit right? Or is this a limitation of the Arduino? This is good food for thought. I like how this could be a longer project than just sticking RGB strips to metal. I have looked a few guides online. Do you recommend starting off with a certain one or suggested guide? I am familiar with the basics of what was mentioned here, but there were few details that I missed. I am strongly considering ARGB with an Arduino now. I would like to program my ARGBs and adding a sensor sounds fun. Thank you for sharing this with me. I know you're saying this tongue in cheek, but automation will always beat manual entry/interfacing. I already plan on adding an Arduino to the mix, but I am having issues finding information on the project that I want to do. I want the Arduino to grab the current speed of the computer, the clock speed of the CPU and displaying on an LCD screen connected to the Arduino, but I have only found one person online that did this. He didn't include any information on the process though. I think, he was pulling HWinfo or something like that. Do you have any suggestions on this? I was thinking of just creating fake numbers the "computer speed" within the Arduino, but where is the fun in that? ha A connector like this would be a piece of cake to connect and disconnect though. This would solve the problem. No LED strips were purchase yet. I'm making sure I understand most of it beforehand. Trying to at least. I was a bit confused before. Of course, I get the basic idea behind the gauges. Small number means thicker diameter. I think, I get it now. I misunderstood was I was reading online before. The lower the guage/AWG number the safer/under the recommended amperage limit for wiring the RGB strips. My apologizes for the confusion. I have this heat tape from a previously project. Would this be an okay alternative to your recommendation? If not, I will buy VHB tape instead. I am not dealing with those drooping led strips again. ha! Thank you for the heads up regarding the power supply tip. This is why I asked. My last build I had LED strips around transparent fans. It was a pain in the butt trying to maintain them after the fact. I won't be doing that again. It did look cool though. Which country are you located? No pressure to actually answer that, but I am a bit curious. Your English is great. Never had any issues reading it. Settled in is a great way to put it! I'm going to research Arduino ARGB a bit more now. I'm leaning more towards that for my lighting needs.

Excuse the late reply. Been busy over here. I want to tackle this project at a larger scale or at least, make sure I understand what is required to do so if I decide to go with the big setup. So, that is a bust. Having the motherboard instruct the whole LED system when to change the LED strips. However, the controller will be able to do that. I guess, it would be possible to setup an ambilight system with the Arduino that would control the addressable LED strips within the computer, outside of the case, and the under the desk. But I have only seen instructions on how to manage the addressable LED strips with a simple layout like behind a monitor. It's probably possible to do a battlestation setup like I mentioned before: inside the computer, outside of the case, and under the desk with an arduino, but I will need to look into that more and try to understand the whole process at a deeper level. I was looking into power requirements for 16ft/5m and it would require 9amps with the buffer, but the LED strips that was linked previously do not state the power draw per foot. I think, I may have misunderstood you before. 30 gauge wire won't support wire lengths of more than 3ft at a time or in total? For most of the setup, it will only be connecting at the bends, but I would like there to be a wire running from inside the computer to outside of the case, and then to under the desk for those LED strips. This will require lengths of 3ft or longer. I used a calculator like this. I may not be understanding the the power draw of the LED strip in question though. Done and done. Double sided tape it is. I had so many problems with the old strip staying up. The photo of the controller has two different inputs. I would only use 12v strips on that and hopefully go off in two different directions with 16ft each way if possible. I would never connect 12v and 24v strip to the same controller. Silly question. How do I know a power supply will connect/fit inside of the controller? Different size barrel connectors or different shape tips could be a problem. I was looking at this power supply. I do want to mess around with addressable RGB. I was thinking about using an Arduino for this project. Possibly connecting to the whole battlestation LED setup. That would be one hell of a project and a costly one at that. That is exactly what I had in mind with this project for at least inside of the case using the MB RGB headers. I haven't tried the application yet, but it looks promising. Battlestation LED Setup: Here is the ultimate plan for battlestation LED setup. This isn't my drawing nor battlestation, but it might be easier to imagine with this photo in mind. I can go into more detail if needed. Equipment: -5050 RGBW 12v LED Strips around 15ft to 20ft -RGBW 12v Controller with 3.5mm Jack w/ audio reaction -12v Power Supply -30 Gauge wires for soldering the LED strips together for bends or thicker wires -LED Strips within the computer -LED strips on the left under the speaker connected to one of the controller's input within the computer -LED strips on the right under the piano connected to the other controller's input within the computer

Excuse the lack of an explanation on my end. I was thinking of splitting the length of the RGBW strips in half using the two different inputs, but perhaps one is for 12v and the other is for 24v. I'm not sure what the exact length of RGBW strips will be required for my project. I wanted to be flexible within that range. The MB software can do reactive lightning, but I didn't mention this before. I'm using Linux and hopefully OpenRGB can access my hardware for this project. VMs are a hit or a miss sadly enough. I explained that poorly on my end. I meant to say I was hoping that I could find an external controller with an input feed following the MB's instructions. So the MB would direct the external controller on how to manage the LED status. Can I use both of these RGB connections on this controller? I'm not married to this one individual controller though. It looks like the lighting outside of the case will need a repeater then. Going off this website 30 AWG or even 18 AWG should be fine for the length of LED strips that I am looking for. Would I be correct in the assumption? That's a good point. I didn't put enough consideration into the wattage requirement for this. I need to reconsider my desk's lighting and how many feet it will be. Thank you for pointing this out. Yep, you're correct. My plan was if I was going to use the MB RGB header to only use it for the inside strips which will be within their required length. Good call on that. Regarding adhesive, would you recommend double sided tape over hot glue during installation process or is both suitable solutions? Sadly, my last build's internal LED strips' adhesive was a huge pain in my side. They kept drooping. The attached photo is the controller with two RGB connections? Are they both available for two different strips of LEDS or different voltage, 12v and 24v? Also, I just thought of something. They wouldn't be compatible with my RGBW, because there is no white line.

I'm looking for some advice for my computer/battlestation setup. I would like to setup a LED Strips system that reacts to audio from my computer/aux jack. Nothing too special here so far. Equipment: -5050 RGBW 12v LED Strips around 15ft to 20ft -MB Gigabyte z490 Vision D Page 29 for reactiveness 2x RGB Headers (Current MB) -or RGBW 12v Controller with 3.5mm Jack w/ audio reactiveness, I don't believe this has a power adapter though. 12v 2A power adapter should work? -30 Gauge wires for soldering the LED strips together for bends MB RGB Header: Is it possible to use this as an audio input for the whole RGBW LED setup? Are there RGB LED Controllers with an input feed? Of course, I could use this to power a shorter RGB LED strip, but that isn't as fun. MB RGB header > connects to LED Controller > sends a signal to the rest of the RGB LED setup to sync with the audio of the computer RGBW Controller w/ 3.5mm Jack: If not this, this will work. Thanks! For another time, I'm also looking into Monitor Abilight setup and Arduino screen setup.

RedDragon A low end keyboard from Micro Center, I believe. However both of these keyboards work on another computer.

I know this is extremely basic problem and I will probably just ending forming the drive and reinstalling Windows because I am missing a basic troubleshooting step. But I am coming up empty handed. My partner's computer cannot load keyboard drivers within Windows 10. I will list the troubleshooting steps below. I believe it's from a Windows update, but I can't roll back anymore, because it's past the ten day mark. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you for wasting spending your time on this thread and sorry. ha! Symptoms: -Keyboard will not type nor will the caps or scroll lock light up Troubleshooting: -Within Windows 10 -Within Windows second keyboard -Both known working keyboard and tested on another computer -Mouse works -Tested all USB ports & remove all other USB devices -Wireless keyboard -PS2 adapter. I can't believe I still have these things and yes, I restarted after plugging it in -Device Manager: HID keyboards yellow icon with exclamation mark -Device Manager: Uninstall all HID keyboards, restart after. Still yellow icon next to HID keyboard -Device Manager: Disable all keyboard entries -Device Manager: Update & search for new drivers -Reinserting keyboard, Windows Popup message: installing drivers for keyboard, error found next to keyboard -Windows update -Bios: Keyboard works -Safe Mode: Keyboard works -Returning to a restore point -Uninstalling the last update -Windows Reset while keeping files -Ignoring the issue for three days straight and hope for the best turning on the computer -Probably a few others, but I can't believe all of them now.

The second monitor is wide, really wide. 7680 pixels long. 3x Ultrawide. ha! When I made this thread, I was thinking about monitor configuration within linux and how it's like ten times easier in linux. Configure your monitor setup, save config file, and move on with your life. Actually, I could use some advice on using Intel and Nvidia drivers together in Linux. I couldn't get it to work with multiple monitors. ^The same exact setup but in Linux. You're using Intel HD Graphics and Nvidia drivers together to display multiple monitors within Linux? How many monitors are you using? Which Window Manager are you using? What drivers are you using for Nvidia and Intel? Thank you!

Please excuse the late reply. I downloaded the application and I am messing around with it now. I don't think you can move the monitor at all. Too bad, because it displays the pixel position by X and Y axis. I wonder if I am missing something.

My Monitors' placement is off by just a bit which is causing two annoying issues with my setup. The issues I am encountering the monitors are not right next to each other thus I am unable to move my mouse between them and the placement of monitors are off by a small amount causing incorrect mouse location within a VM. Is there a way to fine tune this process within Windows and save a configuration file for future use? Regedit, group policies, third party program? Please see the photo below.

I misunderstood the manual when I was read it. I have never came across an in port for passthrough like this before. I guess there are monitors that only have thunderbolt ports on them? Why not just use a DP to Thunderbolt cable or adapter? I understand it's there so you don't have to use the onboard video, but I'm still not seeing the reason behind it though.

This is a real head scratcher. I think, my DisplayPort is dead on arrival. I am testing the HDMI, DisplayPort, and the thunderbolt 3 port. The HDMI and USB C displays an image even at the same time, but the Displayport won't display at all. -Tried connecting different monitors to the DisplayPort -Tried HDMI to DisplayPort cable, HDMI cable to DisplayPort adapter, tested the DisplayPort adapter, and tried DVI adapter to HDMI cable to DisplayPort adapter because why not, right? -Tried connecting only to the DisplayPort, tried connecting to the HDMI & DisplayPort only, and tried connecting only with the DisplayPort & the Thunderbolt 3 port. None of these combinations worked for the DisplayPort, but the HDMI & Thunderbolt 3 worked. The DisplayPort port is dead right? Or am I missing something with the iGPU? 10900k Windows 10 2004 Intel Graphic Drivers 27.20.100.8280 Intel z490 Chipset Maximum amount of monitors Gigabyte z490 Vision D

I ran RealBench at stock and it was better than Prime95. 15 minutes with RealBench. HWinfo’s Max was 88c 1.356v. I’m hoping to start overclocking now. Would you recommend doing the following? My goal obviously is to try to get a stable 24/7 without degrading the CPU. XMP - Profile 1 MCP - off CPU Core Ratio - 49x CPU VCore - 1.25V ~Should I start higher or lower? Increase Core Ratio until Windows starts crashing. Then increase LLC to try and stabilize Windows. Next increase Core Ratio and VCore until I hit my max or crashes Max: Temperature 95c ~Should I go for low 90c instead? VCore 1.3V LLC High ~Is high a good max for me for now? I’m not sure where AVX offset comes into play. I know it needs to be low. But how low? 1 to 2? 1 to 5? I’ve always read it should be set to zero. LLC applies more voltage during CPU load increases which fixes vDroop/vDrop. ~~Multiple levels to LLC, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. 50% to 75% LLC seems to be the best, 100% LLC is probably out of my reach for now. Overvolting is very possible with LLC. That’s why I want to fine tune LLC before getting to my max with VCore.

Haha! Thanks for the link. What a commitment, but I bet it will be good. Thank you
