  1. Is there any ones you would recommend? I would ideally like to not have to install an amp, but it looks like I might have to
  2. I am looking to upgrade the speakers in a 2017 Skoda Fabia - the standard ones are pretty awful despite it being a relatively new car. They are especially lacking in bass - which I have seen better performance in from a 2009 fiesta. They support 6.5 inch coax speakers (I will just be upgrading the front ones). Budget is quite low - under £200 for speakers + an amp I am looking for speakers with good, improved bass especially, as well as decent overall sound, although a sub is out of the question Thanks for any help
  3. Your parts list looks perfect AMD recommend a 750W PSU for the 7900XTX so something like this would be plenty (unless you plan to do a lot of overclocking - if so there isn't really a way around paying $300 for an 1000w sfx) https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Efficiency-Included-Warranty/dp/B08LP6WS35/ref=sr_1_3?crid=6K1DM0NL8HJG&keywords=850w+sfx+psu&qid=1682267431&sprefix=85w+sfx+psu%2Caps%2C354&sr=8-3 you might also want more storage than that if you are planning on playing lots of games - go with a 2tb nvme
  4. In that case, I agree with @SorryClaire suggestions. The peripherals are subjective so I would do some research or try a few out before making a decision on those.
  5. Your 1650 super will sell for $100-130 (or closer to $200 if it is actually new). A new PSU is going to be ideal, your current one can sell for around $30, so your budget could be extended to £950 ish. Your storage looks good. For that budget, I would recommend this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K9Hswc (the CPU cooler is not necessary but will make your PC a lot quieter. edit: is the budget of $800 including peripherals?
  6. Assuming you sell your 3070, this 4070ti looks to be a more reasonable price, although I am not familiar with this website so not sure how reputable they are in portugal: https://www.pccomponentes.pt/inno3d-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-x3-12gb-gddr6x?utm_source=127079&utm_medium=afi&utm_campaign=pt.pcpartpicker.com&awc=20983_1682256393_e40544ac60cece7fcb401f0f25cc1daf&utm_term=deeplink&utm_content= The only other option would be looking for a used 4070ti, or going for a 4070 which will offer some performance increase over your 3070.
  7. https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/z2nKfv i7 has better gaming performance in most games than AMD This RAM has a lower CAS latency In terms of GPU, I would go with a 6800xt, or on the nvidia side, a 4070 (if nvenc is going to benefit your video editing)
  8. Thanks for everyone's help! Despite the 6700xt having slightly better performance, I went for a 3060ti - won a founders edition for £300. This is about £20-30 cheaper than any 6700xt's were going for, and I will make use of DLSS (which appears to be much better than FSR in terms of quality) and some ray-tracing so this makes sense for me. I will also order a 5600 to go with it.
  9. I can find more 5600s actually in stock so I think that would be better. My motherboard only supports 3.0 anyway
  10. It looks like the only downside to the 5600 over the X version is the 200mhz lower clocks?
  11. Used 6700xt's seem to go for just over £300 - I reckon that would be worth it
  12. Good idea, i will look at some AMD cards. The only concern is DLSS as this is something i find quite beneficial on my current 2060
  13. If you are Ok with needing to upgrade motherboard, and RAM when you upgrade in the future, then this will save you some money now. https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MH47tn If you want to build a more 'futureproof' rig, then I would recommend this: https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/T4NMzf
  14. Budget (including currency): £350 for gpu Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming: Forza Horizon 5, Warzone, F1 22, Phasmophobia... 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): This is my current rig: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wC8Vxs I will be playing at 1440p, aiming for 144 fps I am planning on selling my RTX 2060 (will likely get £200 on ebay) and buying a used 3060ti or 3070. These go from about £320 and £380 respectively. Which one would you recommend? Also considering my current CPU (r5 2600) do you think an upgrade to a 5600X would be worthy too? Thanks for any help
  15. Hi, I have setup an ESP32 board flashed with WLED and a 5m WS2812B led strip, however the led's do not appear to be lighting up. I am currently trying to run off USB. I have tried using a 5v 10A psu connected to the two power injection wires from the LED which did nothing to solve the problem. Here is a picture of my wiring: VIN ----> 5V on led strip GND ----> GND on led strip D2 ----> Data on led strip Any help would be really appreciated as I have been trying to get this up and running for weeks
  16. Thanks https://amzn.eu/d/6HB3tCq Im planning on hooking them up to an arduino board and installing wled. I will go with the 5V 10A psu then
  17. For a 300LED 5m strip, a 5v 20A power supply is recommended. This seems like a lot - would driving these LEDs at 10A still work? Albeit slightly less bright Thanks
  18. Update: it is working with another reciever i have tried perfectly. Just not the one that i need it to work with!
  19. Yes, ive tried the cable which came today and the sub is still not producing any output… there are no obvious settings on the reciever
  20. I have tried using a basic RCA cable and plugging one channel into the receiver and the same into the sub and that doesn’t appear to work. i have ordered the cable to see if that fixes it Thanks for the help!
  21. Hi, I am trying to hook up my Subwoofer to my receiver (which i was not able to find on any seller site for some reason) However my subwoofer has an RCA input, while my receiver has an LFE output. Would a cable such as this work?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01D5H8MKY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&th=1
  22. Hi, I have recently bought the Edifier R1700BTSs and the edifier T5 sub to go along with it. The sub has a volume dial, phase switch (0 or 180) and a low pass filter dial - I am not sure what the phase switch does, or to tell whether I need it or not. Also what is the best frequency to have the LPF at?
  23. I am planning on updating my BIOS to attempt to fix an issue with RAM stability that I have been experiencing for about a year (I had to reduce RAM speed from 3200mhz to 2933). My motherboard is the MSI B450 tomahawk max and this is the driver page I am running a ryzen 5 2600 - what is the latest BIOS which will still support my CPU?
  24. I am looking to replace an Athlon A8 9600 with a Ryzen 3 4100 on this motherboard: Asus PRIME A320M-K Would flashing the BIOS work on the old athlon as it likely wouldn't be supported on the new BIOS version? I have never updated a BIOS before so don't want to risk bricking anything Thanks
  25. His current motherboard will be able to be BIOS updated to support 4000 or 5000 series AMD chips, so it might be worth doing that rather than getting a new motherboard (adding to the cost). Although yes, if we did go down the route of a new mobo, intel would be better at this price.
