Where are you located?

Hello there, im located in the Philippines

Hello there... 

im having this huge pkt loss in PUBG. ive tried several test to determine who many pkt loss im getting. but all the results are 0%. is there maybe other reason aside from my connection why im getting such huge pkt loss?

Hello there, experiencing some intense inverse ghosting on my monitor. Its not all the time though. Mostly when i play witcher 3 i experience the intense inverse ghosting. On pubg, a bit, but still noticable. I hope someone can enlighten me with this. Thank you.

My specs

Ryzen 5 3600

Aorus gtx 1660 ti

16 gb ram

its a VA panel. they do tend to come with those artifacts due to slower switching speed, but you could probably tweak monitor settings to remove them. 

Any recommendations?

Oh btw im using an MSI optix mag 241

Hello there...

Im not really quite sure on how to explain this but it goes. Im having this issue, where while im playing. I would experience that when my character moves or anything in my screen moves that there will be trail of color on its movement. Its like an aura something like that. It dissapearse when i stop moving. It doesnt happen all the time though. Sorry for the confusing explanation. Hope somebody knows about this. Thank you

I won't go talking about the audio splitters (those that split a TRRS to TRS to divide the headphones from the microphone) since those shouldn't affect the sound quality.

What I will be talking about is the headset itself. The Arctis 5 costs some 100€, and in that price (range) one can get headphones or headsets THAT actually do sound quite good.

Just take a look at the Cooler Master MH751 or MH752. Those are the Takstar Pro82 with an added microphone. The MH752 even comes with an USB sondcard.

If not the CM MH751/752, there's still the Cloud series from Kingston HyperX. Those Takstar Pro80-s might be outdated, but they still sound fine.

Ill look into those. Thanks very much

That depends heavily on the quality of your onboard. If your motherboard is 6 years old or older the usb adapter is probably better but if you have a decent motherboard that is reasonably new it is probably better as it should have a superior audio chip. But the arctis 5 isn't exactly what I would personally call good or decent so I doubt you could really tell the difference through that headset anyway. Unless something picks up noise.

Its a brand new mobo. Just bought the desktop a month ago. The steelseries arctis 5 has good reviews i think. And im on a budget. Haha. Cant afford those 400$ headphones. Haha

If it's just a TRRS to TRS splitter so you can plug it into a normal PC it shouldn't have any effect on the sound.  The cable itself wouldn't do any harm unless it's remarkably terrible, and as for what it does to the onboard audio or soundcard in your PC, unless the mic and line out ports were designed to have separate ground for some reason, bridging them the way this would shouldn't cause any issues.  If anything, using the included USB adapter (if applicable/present) would lower the sound quality a lot more than what you're doing now, as they generally have very poor DAC and amp quality compared even to what's built into your motherboard.  Just keep in mind that's a generalization based on what I've seen before and doesn't necessarily hold true for the pair you're looking at.

Thank you for your comment. So using the usb adapter is a bad choice. In using old headphones with the splitter. I think the volume got affected. I play PUBG. And and feel like im having a hard time with the audio. If the splitter is the way to go. Do you have any recommendations which brand of splitter is good that doesnt dimishes both quality and volume?

The arctis 5 comes with a usb adapter so your PC audio ports should be free. But splitters shouldn't affect audio quality but will affect volume

Oh yes. I think the volume got affected when i used an adapter. In using the usb adapter. Will it affect quality or volume?

Hello there,

Im planning to buy a new headset. My concern is, my desktop has like two slots, one for audio, one for the mic. Im using an adapter (one female to two male 3.5mm jack) since my old headphones only has one jack. I feel like it diminished the sound quality since im using an adapter. 

Im planning to get the Steelseries arctis 5 and i believe it only has one jack also. So im concerned that i might buy a new one and the sound quality wont be great because of the adapter. Thanks in advance.

Then use sockets 1 and 3. It's fine if the computer takes 30 seconds to boot. I think some motherboards bios' have a "fast boot" option that may help but it's often better to leave it as it is just in case you need to access the bios in the future more easily, in my opinion. I wouldn't worry too much with that.

Alrighty. Thanks a bunch for the help sir

So is it worth noting that my 512gb m.2 is already half occupied and im using kapersky thats why its taking 30 seconds to fully boot?

As @Allan B said, more often than not RAM sticks should be placed with one slot in between them. Normally the four RAM slots are organised into two memory channels (or dual channel memory as it's often referred to) and it's better to allocate one RAM stick to each channel when inserting only two RAM sticks into the motherboard so that the memory controller can access the RAM quicker than if you saturate one channel whilst the other is empty. 

 

So, once again refer to your motherboard manual and check to see where they should be placed specifically:

 

Hello there again. So i saw the socket numbers for the RAM. Its 4231. I tried to do socket 1 and 2. Still taking around 55 seconds and 15 seconds for the mobo to light up and 15 seconds to go to windows. As for using socket 1 and 3. It takes 10 seconds for the mobo to light up and another another 20 seconds to totally open windows. So 30 seconds for a fresh boot on an 512gb m.2 nvme

Thanks a bunch. Ill do that

How many RAM sticks are there? And were they slotted right next to each other or did they have an empty slot between them?

In total i have 4 slots. At first they were slotted right to each other in the left side. So i changed them both the right side. And yes they are still beside each other.  

So now upon pressing the power button. It takes around 30 sec for it boot up to windows. Is that ok? Or still too slow?

That indicates that there may be a RAM problem. Try experimenting by removing one of the RAM sticks and then starting up your PC. See how it reacts and then do the same with the other. It may be one or both of your RAM stick being faulty.

Hey there, it got fixed. I changed the slot of the RAMS to the other slots. And it worked. But does that mean that the previous slots have problems?

Alright ill experiment on this. But the thing is. When they were assembling my desktop. While updating the other bios. It didnt have that problem. Only started when the bios was updated to be compatible with ryzen 5 3600

What does that light correspond to according to the motherboard manual?

Hello again. So i checked which red light it correspends to. Its in DRAM, then goes to CPU for like a spilt second then goes back to DRAM. No idea about this

How long has it ben since the machine was built? Update the B450 chipset driver, get it from AMD, not the MOBO manufacturer, and update the BIOS as well if it's not the latest.

Im sorry, im not really a techi guy. How do i know if the bios is the latest one? How do i determine which chipset to download? Thanks

It might be the POST debug LEDs. It's worth checking the motherboard manual.

 

Typically, motherboards will have a couple of LEDs (corresponding to stuff like CPU, RAM, VGA, and boot, as an example) which the motherboard will run through during POST and if there is an issue normally one of these lights will stay on, or blink or whatever to signal an issue is present.

What happens is, its a solid red light. It dissapears once the mobo lights up. 

I would like to add also that there is a red light(not blinking) at the lower right of the motherboard. It disappears when before the motherboard lights up.  Anybody knows what that means?

Do you hear any beeping or lights flashing on the motherboard? There is probably an issue the motherboard is trying to tell you, take a look in your manual. If I had to make some random (typical) guesses I would say the one of your RAM sticks is not in all the way or you have you RAM in the wrong slots. Maybe also a bad CPU cooler mount, or a power cable is not in all the way.

Hello, all slots are properly plugged in. No blinking also. And the computer works perfectly. Ive been gaming on it for like two weeks now and no issues. My only concern is the delay in boot time when i turn it on. When i restrt my pc. It takes only 10 seconds. So no issue in that.
