  1. I’m looking to get an iPad for procreate and other design tools. I’ve also seen that there are apps that allow me to use an iPad as a second screen for my pc which would also be helpful for my workflow. The new iPad mini looks tempting but I’m curious if there’s an older/cheaper option that would satisfy my needs. thanks!
  2. Budget (including currency): 800 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Premiere, Doom Eternal, Ableton, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After effects, Phasmophobia, Risk of Rain 2, Civ 6 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): The new build is on a Asrock B550m Pro 4 board, with a phantecs 650 watt gold PSU, 3200 mhz cl 16 ballistics ram, and (most recently) a Vega 64 FE. My monitor is sceptre 1440p 85hz. I have a pretty mixed workload between workstation and gaming, so when I saw that beautiful blue Vega 64 with its supposed work station pedigree and 16 gigs of vram I became tempted. I paid 260 for it, which I think is a pretty good deal, but I'm a bit worried I opened a can of worms. I wasn't aware of the gaming driver woes at the time of purchase, and I'm worried a bit about this power hungry card in my small Matx dark flash 21 mesh case. Anyways, wondering what kind of bumps and bugs I should expect on my path to getting this card to run smoothly, as well as what CPU I should pair with it given my workloads and power supply limitation. I was thinking maybe either the ryzen 3600, 3700x or 5600x. If there are any other Vega 64 owners out there I'd love to chat about what to expect, and how to best tweak the card to being as stable as possible. I've never done any undervolting or anything before so I'd love to hear about the risks/rewards.
  3. good to know! When i played a game in 4k I hit 98c on my cpu and 94c on my graphics card, so I'll probably cool it on the 4k gaming, and do some research into undervolting etc.
  4. Do you know of a place to find a range of voltages for this cpu? or should i just youtube it
  5. How involved/risky of a process is undervolting? Worst case scenario it only boots into bios?
  6. Hey All, This is my first post on the forum, so hopefully this is the right place for this post. I have an MSI Prestige P65 Creator https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TN4C5VZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with a 9750H and an RTX 2060. The fan will boost up to 100% just from plugging it in and having chrome open, which can be kind of annoying in class, but at the same time it still gets super when I'm using it for gaming/heavy creative work so I'm worried adjusting the fan curve would cause overheating problems. Would adjusting the fan curve and or undervolting be a possible solution given my hardware? It runs everything super smoothly even in 4k, but I usually turn settings down to 1080p just so it doesn't get as hot. I'd like this machine to last for a long time, so longevity of the hardware is kind of my priority. A little background - I have never adjusted a fan curve or undervolted so I'm a total noob, but I think I understand the basic principles? And I have a desktop I built at home so any serious work can get done on that machine, meaning I'm willing to take a bit of a performance hit if it makes the machine cooler and quieter. Especially given that I'm pretty sure my monitor is only 60Hz. Thanks in advance for any responses!
