Gotcha, that actually helps to know. I'll just have to find a replacement cord for this exact model. Unfortunately theres a bluetooth version with a detachable type c cable that keep clogging up my search results, but I might also just contact Razer to see if they can provide any help or if they sell replacement parts. Thank you!

Hopefully this is the right subforum, let me know if it belongs better in troubleshooting or something? My mouse cord (Razer Basilisk V3) got destroyed recently so I tried to replace it with the cord from an old mouse in my closet, but I realized the header to connect to the mouse PCB is different on both mice (picture attached - the small one on the left is the one I am trying to replace). I tried ordering a replacement cord off Ebay, but it had the same internal connector as my spare mouse. Are there different standards for these kind of connectors, or is Razer just doing something proprietary for this? Can anyone tell me what these are called or point me to where I can buy them? Every time I've tried searching the internet for this info it thinks I'm trying to find the difference between USB A and USB C

I recently had to move into a smaller space, and I need a new mount for my monitor (Aorus FV43U, 22 lb, 43 in, 200x200 VESA pattern). I need one that is not a wall mount or a desk clamp. Pedestal style, not the widespread feet (i have open air space for it, but i dont have a desk wide enoigh to accommodate the legs it came with) The biggest feature i need is tilt so i can have it face the proper height. Height adjust is great too, but not a deal breaker. I dont care about swivel. Does anyone know a stand that meets those requirements? I dont care if its a traditional stand or an arm as long as its freestanding and on a pedestal (i highly doubt there are arms at this size, but if there are im fine with them)

Okay, just to be sure -- even though its JUST a cord, no brick, nothing like that -- this still matters, right? Ive had ppl irl tell me these cords are universal but i trust you all more than I trust them lol

No worries, the distinction between adapters and the cords is part of my confusion haha

2.5a is a monitor (aorus fv43u), 12a is a desktop pc (psu is corsair rm850x) I am in the US, so I believe the wall power is 120v

I think this is the right subforum for this question I recently moved and MOST of my devices had their cords taped to them, but right now I have two devices that have no cord and one device that may or may not go with either of them. (Physically it fits either) Ive tried reading up on this but I'm a little bit confused on how to compare the voltage when the device provides a range. My understanding is that the amperage of the cord needs to be HIGHER than the amperage of the device. I know polarity is important but the cord has no diagram for it. Both devices list their voltage as 100-240v. One at 12A, one at 2.5A. My cord is 13A 125V. Since thats in the range, would it work with both devices? Would any cord with an appropriate amperage and a voltage anywhere in 100-240v work? Or is there more complexity to this that im missing?

I'm in a situation where I have a very serviceable high refresh rate SDR monitor, but I want to have a second monitor that I can use for single player experiences that is focused on delivering the best picture possible (4k, good HDR support) The problem I run into is whenever I try to research my options, all the reviews I find are focused on monitors for competitive gaming with high refresh rates but every drawback they list is centered around how the HDR or the dimming looks shoddy. Is there a specific term I could be using to try to find what I'm looking for, or am I just in a very niche position that companies aren't really catering to yet? Right now the closest option I'm seeing for what I want is the Asus CG32UQ - HDR600 (solid, but not top of the line/bank breaking), 60hz, 32inch, 4k. If not for the fact that it would cost an eye watering 1850 USD it would actually fit what I'm looking for almost perfectly.

Okay, so this is gonna be a long one. TL;DR, I want the best cinematic gaming experience possible for 1000USD. Right now I have an Acer XF270HU monitor (no HDR, 1440p144Hz, 27 inch). I'm planning on replacing the laptop it's hooked up to with an RTX 3080 powered desktop (...as soon as I actually can). I'm definitely going to want to have another screen, and I'd like to have one where my computer can stretch it's legs a little better. Most important to me - 4k, HDR600 or higher. I want something that will be beautiful for either playing AAA games at high settings or watching movies. As far as sizes go, 32 inch would be optimal, but Id be happy at 27. I'd really like to keep it below 40. Since my other monitor could be my high refresh rate monitor, Im a bit less worried about high refresh on this one. 75 or even 120 would be great, but I can be happy with 60. I'd also like VRR to smooth out dips in high action sequences. I don't need HDMI 2.1, the ps5 stays in the living room, so the only hdmi I would be using is from the PS4 pro. Right now I see three that I think are my favorites, but each one has its own issues. First is the Asus PG27UQ. This one would be perfect if I could afford it. And I've heard people talk about finding one for 1200 bucks around a year ago, and I'd gladly stretch my budget to buy it at that point. Unfortunately, that's not an option right now and it's just too expensive. I'm also perfectly happy running at 120 to avoid the DP 1.4 issues. Second is the LG OLED 48 inch. I'd also be really psyched with that one, but at 1500 it's still a bit out of reach. Plus as much as I want to go OLED, I'm still a bit gun-shy about burn-in for something I'm running with a PC. And it's really larger than I'd like. Finally, the only option I found that's in budget is the Acer xb237k. It ticks a lot of boxes, but honestly the reviews I've read about it's HDR400 and overall image quality have me wondering if it's the right one to buy. Honestly, my perfect monitor would either be something sitting between this one and the X27 in both price and performance, or something that gave up a bit of refresh rate to keep good HDR. Does anyone know of good options for what I want that are currently available at...let's say 1200 USD at the absolute maximum? Or am I stick waiting for either new monitors (Asus 32 inch HDR 600 has my interest...) Or a sale on either the X27/the PG27UQ? (Also, is there a time coming up I could expect to see a decent sale on them? Unfortunately black friday is already gone..)

You have a fair point there, I now that I look into some of the stock notification communities in in, I'm seeing MUCH more frequent activity for the 5600x. That might be an option!

My thoughts exactly! It'll still be a good step up from my laptop's I5-4720hq, and it should be somewhat less affected by the 5900x since it's in such a different price tier (although that may be less true since a lot of people will also be selling theirs to upgrade so definitely still staying vigilant on the next gen cpu)

I actually have a chance to stop by my 'local' microcenter (The drive is reeeeeeally bad, but I have other business in the city) this Saturday and I want to experience it for the first time and probably pick up a good few components while I'm there. I've never really gotten to visit a tech-focused store like this before so I'm excited! In the longterm I really want to upgrade to a 5900x, but I'm probably not going to get my hands on one anytime soon. So I'm definitely going AM4 mobo, but what's a decent CPU I can buy until stock normalizes or I get lucky? I don't need or want a super high performer - if I get a lucky chance to get an early 5900x I want to be able to afford to buy it quickly. But my main focus is on resell value - Once I get the 5900x in hand, I'd like to be able to turn around and sell the temp cpu for as close to what I paid for it as reasonably possible (Another reason I'm still gonna try to get lucky with a 5900x, because I know my resell value is going to drop dramatically) Right now I think the 3600 (non-x) is a good candidate, but I haven't had as much time as I normally like to mull things over and this shopping trip is coming up fast, so I was curious what everyone else's thoughts were?

I just plugged in 700 based on msrp. Hard to tell what will be a reasonable price to buy them at until they're actually easier to buy. Honestly, I think I'd rather stick with air instead of an aio. Hard for me to verbalize why, I just kinda prefer it unless there's a hugely noticeable difference in performance (I'll have to look at some comparisons between what you just listed and some of the noctuas I've been looking at) I've been waffling between the 5800 and 5900. Do you think the extra cores just won't be necessary even when I'm streaming a demanding game? On the SSD, will anything leverage the extra speed of a 980? I know last time I checked, gaming and streaming really didn't benefit from a gen4 SSD, but with the new CPUs and GPUs I can't remember if anything was added that could actually use the extra speed. The main reason I chose that 100 dollar case was...because I couldn't find a more expensive case I liked the looks of, tbh . I also considered a meshify, but I didn't like it may better, and didn't see anything that justified a 60 for price hike Okay, definitely some good points here to consider. I went with 4000mhz RAM because some ppl were staying it's the new sweet spot for Zen 3, but if I'm better off going for 3600 with better latency I'll go for it. Honestly never did understand the impact of the cas as well as I should... I'll definitely looks at the pro monos, although wireless will more than likely never be used, but it never hurts to have. I should definitely pay more attention to my USB sepc though, that's a good catch I probably did go overkill on my psu. I'd like to stick with titanium or at least paltinjm efficiency, but I can probably still save a fair bit if I look into that one some more. I definitely think some of those suggestions will help me trim the fat on this build! Thank you both so much!

Budget (including currency): 2500 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, VR, and streaming Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 1440p, looking for something that can handle high framerates for high-action games, or 60FPS in cinematic games with the settings cranked. Since I will be streaming I want to have a good core count and NVENC. I also want to get a good VR headset and finally dip into VR on the PC. I realize I'm not going to be finding some of these parts in stock for a while, I'm hoping to save up over the next s3-6 months. The budget is just for the computer itself, no peripherals. The UPS is being considered a separate purchase. Parts list put together linked at the bottom of this post. The case is subject to change, I need to do more research. I'm also iffy on the motherboard, especially since I do plan to play around with overclocking (nothing extreme, but I like to tinker and get the best I can for my money). I feel like if I went too low on anything, it would be the mobo. Specific question - is there any reason to buy a PCI Gen 4 SSD for the new CPU/GPUs? Or is that still a "If you don't know a specific reason you need it, then you don't need it" kinda deal? General questions - does this seem decently well rounded? Anything that's unbalanced to where I should REALLY shuffle some of my budget from one side to the other? Other than all the rainbow unicorn puke I'm shoving in, will any of this just not look good together? (I tried to make sure everything is either black or programmable). Is this a reasonable build to tackle for my first time building, or did I do something that will make it horribly overcomplicated? Edit -- saw one bullet point I didn't cover and decided it was a fair point to add. My current gaming/streaming computer is an Asus ROG equipped with a GTX 965m and an i7-4720HQ. It still serves me well, but I want to really see what PC gaming has to offer! Any advice is greatly appreciated! And please let me know if you see anything you'd like me to justify/clarify why I feel the need to go that route! Parts list - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wulfy1889/saved/#view=k67xsY EDIT - took some of y'alls advice and reworked my list to trim the fat. Now I'm actually sitting 200 dollars under budget and debating where that money should go - I don't think I'd benefit much from a CPU or storage speed upgrade. I'm thinking either RAM speed or maybe a better mobo? I have all the features I want from my motherboard, but I wouldn't say no to potentially better overclocks...

TYSM! It always bugs me when I just can't remember the name of something haha
