I don't. That's why I think it's just in the banding material. It would be weird if they washed them with different detergents but Chinese manufacturers do weird things. I had a shirt do this to me one time before. I forgot to wash the shirt before hand and woke up with these strange hives around my neck.

Hey everyone I just wanted to leave a review on the Stealth Desk Pad I got a few weeks ago. For the price it's a decent desk pad especially since you can get it in so many sizes. However the material is kinda scratchy on bare skin. This will get better with time/use so it's not a big deal. What is a somewhat big deal is the banding material along the edge is washed in some weird detergent. I'm not a very allergy prone person. But this stuff left lines of hives across my chest. It's kinda weird but I was in full gamer lean while shirtless one night. And the edge of the desk pad was pressed up against me. After an hour or so I got off for the night and in the mirror noticed some red lines. My first thought was it was just impressions left from leaning against the edge of my desk. But the next day the marks were still there. It took about 3 days before they went away. With all that being said I'd still recommend this pad to friends just with a warning. I can just wash the pad. But I just wanted to give some feedback and possibly a heads up to anyone with allergies like this.

It actually has a removable filter up top thats why I didn't install that fan as an exhaust fan in the first place. I wish the case came with 3 separate filters for the top instead of 1 long one.

There was a LTT video talking about fans a while back and they basically said 2 in 1 out was the best way to go and anything more was a waste of money. I had seen the video but still decided to put a ton of fans in my case because I simply like the way it looks.

Will do. Thanks for the input.

I built this PC recently and I'm not sure what I should do for my fans. I have 4 in 1 out. I don't know if I should flip the fan up top and move it to the back as an exhaust or what but I know this could be done better.

So what I think is going on is they calculate the result based on the ram+GPU for the GPU result. When I first built this system I was using some gskill aegis 3000 stuff but I was under powering the card by basically only having one cable plugged into the card (its a long story and this is my first card with 2 separate power connectors) So I got a bad result then. I then fixed the power issue and it fixed the result on userbenchmark. I swapped out the ram and went to run the test again and i got an even worse score than before the power problem. I have an rx580 I will test with and see if that scores super low as well and if it does then I think I am correct about them calculating the score of the gpu based off other parameters like memory. I have ran other benchmarks like unigine heaven and superposition and my results fell in line with what other got on the same setup (3700x and a 2070 super) So this all might have really just been down to userbenchmarks being shit So @Slottr and like everyone else, you guys were right. Don't trust userbenchmarks. lol I will update this when I test the rx580 tuesday or wednesday.

AH that makes a bit of sense then. The ram works fine from everything I can see I just wasn't sure if adjusting the fclock would help since I just left it set to auto. Okay since this ram isn't technically supported then I wont worry about it until it starts crashing my system or something since its working just fine just had that weird error on sketchy old userbenchmarks.

I have no idea what to look for in hwinfo. Yes I am on the latest bios. I did just recently update to the beta version but this has been happening before the bios flash.

I take their percentage thing at the top with a massive grain of salt but look at the percentile among users to kinda get a baseline. Temps are solid at 55c pretty much the whole time I am playing. They might go to 60c after an hour or so but im impressed with how solid the temps are on the GPU.

I have a MSI x570 gaming plus with a r7 3700x and 4x8gb trident z 3600 cl15 sticks and according to userbenchmarks (i know userbenchmarks is shady i get it) but I am getting weird results. I have XMP enabled and it shows 3600 in task manager and on the userbenchmarks results. The other thing I am having a problem with is my GPU. I get terrible results with it on there but I havent noticed anything wrong except when running games I used to get 700fps with my rx580 I now get 300fps but since that doesn't really mean anything I just assumed it was how the game was made and what it was optimized for, I also hear some weird coil whine sounds when running benchmarks on the 2070 super. Anyways here are the results from suerbenchmarks. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/29633407

I plan on overclocking eventually but for now its going to run mostly stock r7 3700x and 2070 super speeds/thermals. I hadn't seen the PC-O11D until now and that thing is gorgeous. The lancool 2 is one I keep looking at and since it has the TRRS plug Its up there on my list of possibilities. I know the TRRS plug is such a weird thing to get hung up about but its just what I prefer. Thanks for sharing.

Well hell since everyone is saying this I guess I will stay away from that. Damn. Do you know if the 710 is better? I assume not since its just the same thing but larger. The case I have now is a Corsair 100r silent and I really don't like it. It sucked to build in and not a lot of room for fans. So I ignored corsair till just now and I am liking the 275r airflow.

I am hunting for a different case right now. I am thinking the NZXT H510 or 710 but I am not dead set on that. The only thing thats super important to me is it has a TRRS plug for the front audio because I hate dealing with 2 plugs when getting on discord. (sure I could just use a wireless headset but I prefer wired). Anyways this got me wondering what everyone's favorite cases are as I am curious what people love and hate.

Just changed all that but it didn't change. I did just set all the in game settings to low just to see what would happen and it only increased by about 50fps. So I am guessing this is something in the nvidia stuff. This is such a non-issue though that I am not worried about it it was just a curiosity.

On the rx580 I believe I was running at ultra but it is possible I didn't save those settings. I will double check and see what the settings are at now

R7 3700x. I made sure to get the drivers. I guess thats possible for bottlenecking to work like that.

This might be a dumb question or the wrong spot to ask but I just swapped from an rx580 to a rtx2070 super and I thought it would be funny to see what FPS I got in "Golf With Your Friends" as I was getting like 500-700 with the rx580. I was surprised to see I am only getting like 300-400 fps with the 2070 super. Obviously this does not matter in the least for a game like this or really any game but I am curious why this is the case and if there is some setting I missed in the cards software. Thanks!

Ah okay I won't mix them. OH The price changed. It was $162 for the cas15 stuff the other day. Yeah $10 I have no problem with.

Should I remove the cooler and redo the thermal paste? I thought that seemed pretty drastic of a change but since the system was ran for maybe 3 hours with the single fan, powered down, second fan put on and the cooling tower being jiggled a bit. I wonder if I didn't have good contact from the start. I guess I could remove the second fan just to see.

I am jealous. I am in the US so hopefully they will be back sooner than july but who knows. I don't know if I want the RGB one. I don't have a lot of RGB stuff in my system as is but I wouldn't mind setting the lights to a static color. I am tempted to save for the elite version as that looks pretty nice but $170 is a little on the high side for me.

What's wrong with that Mobo? The PSU is what I could find in stock and I figured if I want to go to a ryzen 9 later on it will be fine. As for the monitor again it was what I could find at a decent price for a large monitor with a high refresh rate and response time. I live in a tiny 1 bedroom condo at the moment and use the monitor as a tv plus I wanted to try a curved display since I've never used one before. On top of that I am blind as hell do 1080p is fine for me and ppi is something I can notice but I don't care that much. What would you change here for the same budget? Mind you a few of the things I already had on hand like the drives and fans.

I had it running with one fan and was seeing highs of about 85 then added the second and now the highs under load are about 80. I know I got the center of the ihs covered it was more the edges that I was concerned about just to be clear. I used to be someone who would over apply thermal paste but for this build decided to cut way back as I have learned more isn't better and it will be less of a mess to clean up if/when I pick up an aio.

I reversed it already. If the back fan had a dust cover I might feel better about leaving it but I already have the case set up with positive pressure and I think that might be overdoing it if I left the back that way.Oh the other reason for the second CPU fan is I question my thermal paste application and since I will be doing cpu heavy tasks with 3d modeling extra cooling can't hurt.

The PSU was what I could find. I figured it doesn't hurt to get larger for future upgrades same with the mobo The extra fan on the cooler was a just because I had it type thing. I had bought the 92mm for a 3d printer upgrade a while back but ended up needing a 60mm The fan is close to the memory but not touching The cabling sucks because this case sucks for cable management A lot of this build was what I could find in stock. Also I am kinda proud of it for being the first computer I have built since they had IDE cables in them.
