    this feels so random, clean the object a bit more if you want a closeup
    Fuji X-S10 Sigma 30mm F1.4 @
    F1.4 1/60 ISO3200
    I should have set my ISO at 2500, shutter a little faster and maybe ran at F1.8 or 2 and just used the raw latitude but I wanted to push this lens on my first night outing with it

    Love the atmosphere, looks pretty good given the circumstance, but yeah, of course when you're shooting 1/60 for a moving object it's not going to look super sharp. 

     

    Here's mine- I like to call it the Cosmic Koi, I took it in a Chinese garden. Fuji xt30 with a xf56 1.2, iso 640, 1/1000. Going to post the photo as taken, and the edited photo just for kicks.

    Is this a legit Airpods Pro 2 or a fake?

    Nope, I know all the variants. Im just saying that they're way overpriced.

    Can you provide examples?  Unless you're talking about sound quality in comparison to wired iems or something, there's nothing out there that I'd consider a competitor under the price of the.. Buds 2 pro.

    I was looking through facebook marketplace and this airpod pro 2 was listed for 200 dollars near me and he agreed to meet up with me if I wanted to buy it. Does it seem legit? The only problem I saw was that the back of the box had a picture of the airpods pro 1st generation because of the larger grills.

    Used like new! Brand new in box! Interesting. S/N is legit, the rest of the box looks the same, although it's slightly distressed. Very interesting. Honestly, I wouldn't, but that's just my perspective.

    Airpods are a ripoff no matter what, you're paying 2-3x what you should be just for the apple logo.

    I wouldnt pay more than 50-60 dollars for these kind of earbuds.

    Are you confused between airpods variants? 

    6700xt Will 600W PSU be enough?

    What if he ever upgrades though? A PSU is a multi build commitment and they have 10 year warranties. We are splitting hairs over $40. Just work a few overtime hours

     I'm just trying to meet OP's demands criteria and constraints as closesly as possible. Feel free to take a different direction.

    Oh, right. And I put a laughing reaction to your post recommending the 750w because of the hyperbole you used in it. 

    Quote

    Plus, more headroom is always better.

    uh... no? That's wasting money on the PSU and on the power bill due to the effeciency curve of the PSU. Definitely not preferable to have too much headroom

    This leaves him so little headroom though. That RMX at $109 is a fantastic deal for a Tier SSS power supply with a 10 year warranty 

     

    450w transient on a 6700xt at 70w above reference tdp, 150w pull from a 9700k at 25w above peak power draw, 50w for the rest of the system=650w... in the absolute worst case during a transient. The PSU can handle higher then that for transients... 

    Realistically? More like ~500w for transients under full load, with gaming load being quite a bit lower.

    I know online it states everywhere that 750W is recommended but I found an amazing deal and would like to know if 600W is good enough.

    Depends on the CPU and what PSU unit exactly you're working with. 600w will be perfectly fine 99% of the time. Also, what's the 'amazing deal' that you found?

    planing to buy at the earliest around thanksgiving. plus i want to know if an ryzen 7 5800x3d or ryzen 9 5900x will preform better in 4k with the 6900 xt

    Dont, the performance will be hardly better (if better at all). Save on the CPU, spend on the GPU. A 5600 would be fantastic for 4k.

    well i wanna game in 4k would a 13700k be better in fps or a 13600k?

    You'd be wasting money with either if gaming is your most intensive workload. Save as much money as possible on the CPU and buy the highest performing GPU that you can. I can guarentee that there will be <5% performance difference between a 5600 and 13900k/7950x in most games at 4k with high settings.

    well im planning on using i7 13700k or 19 13900k (or 13900ks when and if it comes out when i start buying) will it bottle neck with a 6900 xt

    It will not. I would suggest a cheaper cpu regardless (like 7600x, 13600k), and if you're going for 1440p+, just buy a 5600, your frames will hardly be impacted by a better cpu, but significantly impacted by a better gpu.

    does the 6900 xt get any extra preformance benifits with an amd 5000 series cpu?

    In gaming workloads compared an equal sku from intel, no. E.G 5600 vs 12400f, 5800x vs 12700f, etc. Although, the 5600 (non-x) is quite a good deal right now at $140. 6900xt+5600 is a good combo for most games, espeically at 1440p/4k.

    MSI MECH 6700XT Bios Flash

    I have an MSI Mech 6700xt. The power is limited to 186 watts and MSI prevents the power limit from being raised. I'm trying to modify the bios to increase the power limit, with more power tool and red bios editor. I'm able to save the existing bios and edit the power limit. When I try to flash the bios with amdvbflash, I get an error that the vbios is invalid. I tried with the bios I saved from my card, and with the same bios version I found from tech powerup. I tried a couple of different pretty mild increases with no success. Has anybody run into this before? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    The cooler is quite weak, and the rest of the components probably won't take you very far... Not to mention that you probably won't see noticable uplifts in performance. I would encourage leaving it pretty much as-is, or going for an undervolt. Sorry that I can't help you directly with your issue, but I wanted to mention this in case you aren't looking to oc for fun or do this for a synethetic benchmark. 

    Logitech G413 SE Switch question

    I recently got a g413 se for work, and the default switches from what i can tell are Kailh Browns, very very loud for work, was wondering if it would be an easy swap to something like the Gateron Silent Reds

    It is not hot-swapable. I'd return it, I might advise looking at this: 

    https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k10-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39426674786393

     

    (k10 in the hotswap variety with red switches). It'll be $104 shipped, and you can swap out the switches if that turns out to be too loud for you as well.
