Thank you, I’ll take a look at it

Okay so I have no idea in which direction I’m meant to be pulling to loosen the screw bit and I’m also not sure how to actually mount my sm7b, could anyone help me? Thx

well 24" is what im looking forwards I suppose

As the title says, I’m looking for a 24" 1080p monitor to use to watch content at 1080p (twitch and YouTube) and will also be looking at text (browsers and discord). Are there any monitors I should be looking into or should I just grab whatever is there? Budget is around £150-200

No, the touchscreen thing is disabled if the mic is plugged in through xlr. It seems that having 53dB+ of gain with make-up gain in the compressor are the normal settings for a dynamic mic and is just a settings issue, apparently I don't have the gain settings correctly set. However, with Discord being the main problem, I will now contact discord support to see if there's anything I can do there. I will also try to reinstall the drivers

How do I test the goxlr mini? Everything seems to be fine with it, i've had no issues so I'm not sure how I would test it. EDIT: I don't think it is the goxlr mini anyway because the USB connection had the same issue. I'm not sure if all MV7's are simply like that.

The microphone is right on my mouth, I try to be as close as I can. I have tried the auto settings and that didn’t really change anything.

As the title says, the mic is super quiet. It seems to be “okay”, and I mean okay as in it still needs 45+dB of gain which introduces a lot of background noise. It currently needs 53dB of gain so that I’m heard decently loud in obs and recordings. However, this issue becomes much worse in Discord, where my friends need to set my volume to 200% to only hear me as if I was whispering. I have removed all sound options like echo and noise cancellation as well as automatic gain control, disabled attenuation and even reset all voice settings and still have the same issue. Volume in windows is set to 100 for the mic and in Discord it is set to 200%. USB connection had the same issue, no matter what settings I had in the app. I even sent the microphone to Shure to get it checked and they did not find any issues with it and hence can’t get a replacement. Is there anything I can do? Or should I just try to sell it and go for another variant like the mv7x, or a completely different xlr mic? EDIT: I can pull up the gain more as it seems that it is normal for MV7 mics, I saw youtubers having a gain of 50-60dB. However, it is REALLY an issue with Discord and don't know how to fix it. I'll try to contact Discord support meanwhile

Budget (including currency): £1500 maximum, but would much preferably stay at £1300. The currency is GBP. Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light games such as Rocket League all the way up to demanding games such as Need For Speed and Call of Duty. The main goal is to be able to game at 1440p144hz and have mid-high graphics and being able to stream at the same time. Other details: As I mentioned before, I would like to game at 1440p144hz at high graphics while streaming. I would also need a keyboard and a monitor as I currently don't own them. I don't mind the case but it would be nice to be able to see RGB in it (rgb fans basically). I was thinking of getting an i5-10600k and pair it with a 3060/3070, but you can change these as long as it stays within the budget. If there's some stuff that needs to be cut out because of the budget, the rgb can be taken out. I do not need SSD's as I already have them. I'd only need a 1tb or 2tb hdd. I would also like a decent power supply and not those dodgy cheap ones. Finally, I do not want to risk the chance of thermal throttling so a good cooling solution or a case with good airflow would be great. The £1300-1500 budget only applies to the pc itself, both the monitor and keyboard are excluded from this budget.

Makes sense, won't go for a laptop next time.

yea its just that the kryonaut won't be able to keep up on some games, like r6s or ghost recon wildlands where my cpu goes up to 96 degrees, but at least it isn't thermal throttling significantly

The heatsink is solid nice and flat, made of copper. However, I work with my laptop on almost a 90 degree angle (can't close the laptop and hence I can't work with it completely upside down) and was wondering if this would be an issue, like the LM literally just going downwards instead of staying there so not sure if I might go with LM. I'll try the thermal pastes you have mentioned, because the kryonaut seems to not be able to keep up, even though apparently it is one of the best thermal pastes out there.

They are completely clean, I have taken them apart, removed them and cleaned them inside out so not sure what's going on.

How do I check what the bottleneck is? My fans at max can’t keep up

I am currently using Kryonaut as a thermal paste but my laptop still goes to 80-96 degrees (except rocket league, it stays at 50 degrees there). My gpu temps are fine, the issue is my cpu (i5-8300H). Laptop model is Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52. Someone told me that liquid metal would bring down my temperatures a lot more compared to normal thermal paste, and I just wanted to make sure if that was true by asking here. If so, which one should I get?
