  1. USB is fine. Not sure where you heard you want to avoid USB. Thunderbolt is preferable for lower latency but on any half decent computer you'll be able to get around 16ms with USB.Any cheap Focusrite or Audient (the preferred option lately it seems) will work just fine. Install the ASIO drivers and you'll be off
  2. I'd look again. The Zotac one doesn't have a 6 pin and it's only pulling 75 watts which is going to be just over the PCIE port
  3. Gpro 100%. Much better weight, more universal shape and better battery life
  4. Probably a 2070 or possibly a used 1080ti. Although a used 1080ti for 500 may be be wishful thinking
  5. Ok so I tried it 1 more time, trying to get as little paste on the die as possible, scraping the adhesive off, and using scotch tape to make sure the paste didn't get anywhere else and at the very least I'm back to my original temps, maybe slightly better. I'll order more paste and liquid metal and try that and just stop being a pussy about it haha. Think were all good here for now thank you for the help guys
  6. No I removed the old stuff haha. I'm thankfully not that dumb. I chose paste because I still saw people have gains by just replacing the paste with better paste
  7. Ok so I think I may know the issue. I think it may be a combo of not removing the silicon adhesive and still using too much thermal paste. I'm out of paste so I'll have to order more and try again. I didn't think not removing the adhesive would be that much of an issues since I'd seen other people do it with success but that was also with liquid metal.
  8. So I decided to delid my 8700k. I used the delid die mate 2 and used thermal grizzly thermal paste and my temps are now worse then they were before. I thought I used too much paste the first time so I redid it with less and it was actually slightly worse then the first time. Am I doing something wrong here? It's not like there is a hot spot Or one core is hotter then the rest so I'm kind of stumped here. Testing with Aida64. I also did not remove the black silicon adhesive off the die so maybe it's raising up the IHS and making the temps worse then they should be?
  9. Middle of the road would definitely be 2500/2600 Ryzen.
  10. What mother board do you have? I had issues with my EVGA Z370 FTW not seeing my 850 EVO as a bot drive unless I set the boot mode option to "Legacy" and not UEFI which did fix the issue. Dig around your BIOS and see what you can find in terms of boot mode options. I realize your post says the bios sees it but you never know
  11. Could potentially be the controller on the SSD failing. Although, I've had issue with Windows not wanting to install on perfectly good drives that eventually did work. When it says it won't install, does it throw up any error codes? Try plugging in just that drive and try any combination of formatting the drive and erasing it or whatever the windows installer calls it. I've tried that a few times and eventually it works
  12. It was OpTic back when the had the NA roster and even the international roster. The danish roster is just so terrible I can't bring myself to root for them. Plus it doesn't help that I dislike K0nfig and CajunB from their time on North to basically kicking Stanislaw and Shazam
  13. Nah you'll be fine. Nvidia has locked down their cards so hard that even if you wanted to do damage you'd need to find a custom bios
  14. Yeah I would try this first. DDU is fantastic
  15. I prefer browns to reds. I'm using reds on a Corsair k65 lux after using blues for 5+ years and I honestly am having issues getting used to typing on it due to the lack of feedback. I honestly type better on even a cheap logitech membrane keyboard because its more tactile
  16. I'd only recommend corsair mice if you have smaller hands. They all tend to be on the smaller side. More normal sized hands something like the g703/403 would be recommended. i use the g703 and it's the best mouse I've ever used
  17. One thing else to check is the break away cable. I've had a few issues over the years with those failing and causing disconnections
  18. Mainly just Siege. I loved playing the TTS last night and think it's honestly one of the best updates they've made to Siege in a long time
  19. This thread gave me aids
  20. Me and a buddy are trying to write a program in assembly that takes the average of any numbers inputted and exits when Q is entered. This is what we have so far. We tried setting it up when the user entered 0 it would exit but we know that's not correct. Any help is welcome Include PCMAC.INC.MODEL SMALL.586.STACK 100h.DATA X dw ? Y dw ? Z db ?Message DB 10,13,'Done','$'Message2 DB 'Please enter a number or enter 0 to exit',10,13,'$'Message3 DB ' Average so far',10,13,'$'.CODE EXTRN GetDec : NEAR, PutDec : NEARHello PROC mov ax,@data mov ds,ax _PutStr Message2 call GetDec mov X,ax SirLoopaLot: _PutStr Message2 inc cx add ax,X mov X,ax mov dx,X mov Y,cx call GetDec cmp ax,0 je done jmp SirLoopaLot done: cwd idiv Y call PutDec _PutStr Message mov al,0 mov ah,4ch int 21h Hello ENDPEND Hello
  21. While I love taking stuff apart, this is one thing I won't do. First thing I was taught was don't open PSUs or CRT monitors
  22. In college if you eat anything other then ramen mixed with the tears of being poor you aren't doing it right
  23. Although., I may need to get the official adapter. It's messing with the video out to my monitor and won't work sometimes
  24. Ok. I set this up in THE MOST ghetto way possible. I am using an HDMI cable and the RCA cables from the xbox at the same time. The HDMI is handling video while the RCA is handling audio. I had to remove the plastic shroud from around the RCA cable and cut the wires that went to the optical output (don't use the cable anymore and I have a replacement type dongle anyway). Then I used a RCA to 3.5 adapter I had lying around then just used a 3.5 to 3.5 cable to input into the line in. It works rather well and I love it haha. And it didn't cost me a cent
