Hi, So I've been looking at getting a Elgato 4K60 MK2 for my PC. I know it's a great capture card but is there some other features it can do? For example I use my PC as a Plex server and game streaming would it take the load off my CPU if configured or is primarily for just hdmi inputs only? My PC Specs: MOBO: MSI Z97A GAMING 7 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6 GB Video Card MEM: Kingston HyperX Fury Red 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1866 CL10 Memory Any help on this would be great. Cheers.

So how are hackintosh machines doing in 2020? I'm interested in exploring the OS for free however I don't know much going into it. What should I know before jumping into it? Might try it on my Acer Aspire E15 laptop - intel i5 - 2C/4T x 2,6GHz up to 3,2 GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, some trashy hd graphics and a GTX 940m. So it's not the worst but since I was going to install a not yet decided which distro of linux, thought that I might as well try this thing first.

This GPU is surprisingly cheap among other RTX 2060 and I've done some research about it so far everyone says it is a good GPU and a worthy buy. I'm concerned about its Thermals, the place i live here in India Temps at 41 Degrees Celsius at noon will this GPU be fine with it? people who own this gpu please share some thoughts about the Graphics Card!!

I just bought my DT990 (used) for $173 two weeks ago and it's been great. I do wish the mids were more pronounced and the highs were calmer. I found a listing for a used HE 400S going for $171. It has repaired and reinforced cables. The owner bought it used so I'll be the 3rd owner if I end up swapping to this (I'm fine with this TBH). I'll mainly use it for movies and games (FPS like Overwatch, Battlegrounds, Destiny 2). I listen to music from time to time (mostly Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, etc) ps I'm confident I can sell my DT990 for $161 at the LEAST. pps Prices are converted from Philippine Peso. Hopefully that explains the absurd prices I have to deal with, lol

So I'm looking to upgrade my desktop from an i5 6600k. Trying to make it a bit more suited for productivity , the lines of streaming, encoding , and light video editing . Other than the marginal fps gain from the 6700k are there any other benefits , or should I get a 5820k?

Hi, Ive decided today after the recent update of plex forcing news on my server to look for a alternative. I've come across Emby and love the user interface on its apps which is close to plex. So what are the pros and cons of Emby ?so far I know the setup is more complex. Cheers.

So I´ve been searching about the problems of 4k monitors in laptops and it seems that scaling and battery life are the main problem. Im into high resolutions because of movies and photography and so on, but im afraid that downscaling a game in a 2k, 3k o 4k monitor to a 1080p will end up in blurriness and other issues. What are the main pros and cons of a 4k screen?

Hi, I am "dreaming" about buying a closed loop cooler for the cpu. Leaning towards the 360mm rads, because of better cooling and lower rpm's. And bigger is better right? :) I have no experience with watercooling and was wondering, is it worth it? Or is it simply more trouble then cooling perfomance? For example leakage or breaking parts like the pump? Why i would want one? Well, i like the looks of it. Somewhat better perfomance? The 7700k is a hot chip. In a few years when my cpu is becoming more outdated i figured i'll try some proper overclocking including delidding it. So for the people who own or has owned various AIO coolers, is it worth it? do they perform better? What are your personal pros and cons about them?

So I was wondering if overclocking my ram makes any sense. I have 8 GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 Goodram memory(2 DIMMs, each 4 GB), maybe CL 13 or so. How would it effect performance of my PC if I overclock it somehow? Would overclocking it make sense?

So I actually have a quick question between these two processors. Even though the Ryzen 5 3600 has more cores/threads, the Ryzen 3300X beats it in gaming due to the Zen 2 7nm architecture. Plus the Base clock is higher. Does the Ryzen 5 3600 beat the 3300x in photo/video editing, or streaming performance? Would like to hear everyone thoughts about these two CPU. EDIT: Both are Zen 2 7nm architecture. Yet the 3300X beats in in performance from what I've seen. Here's what my info is based on

First off, I'd like to apologize if I've posted this in the wrong category; I figured it would either be programming or operating systems and that the latter was more appropriate. Anyways, I would like to start learning how to program, and was just wondering if dual booting a form of Linux with windows 10 is something I should be considering? I'm a computer engineering student (atm, I've also been thinking about software), so I routinely use CAD programs, Maple, etc. Do I need to work with a Linux based platform in order to learn programming? Is Dual booting the best route? What are virtualmachines? Essentially, I'm looking for a beginners guide to getting started with experimenting with Linux, if I need to and how I should go about it if I do. I wouldn't be using my main rig, I would dual boot my new laptop (Lenovo y700 i5 model). I'd love to hear anybody's' thoughts on what I should do

Update 3: This is the last straw, I really really do not recommend this product! After all the disappointment you can read below, I discovered another huge problem... A dead pixel... This is really the last straw, I am done with this. I don't care anymore about the beautiful design and aluminium build quality nor the amazing colors on the screen. I payed too much money for this. I will try to return this and get a refund, but I'm afraid it will not be easy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everybody, I little backstory, this schoolyear I began my freshman year at college here in Belgium. Therefore I needed a laptop. I’ve always used my gaming desktop. I definitely wanted an aluminium Ultrabook. I searched for one weeks and weeks. I was really interested in the Dell XPS with infinity display. But there were a few problems. The price, it was a really expensive laptop but ok, I would give the money for that. But then I found the XPS 15 with that display was not released yet. I didn’t want to pay so much money for a 13” laptop. I really wanted that laptop, but back in September 2015 I heard It will come out at the end of 2015. So that’s too late for school. I went with buying a temporary laptop which I would sell when I had the XPS 15. I bought an Asus Zenbook UX303 with a 5500u and Intel integrated graphics. I found it pretty cheap for 666€ 2nd hand only a day or 2 old, as good as new. Months have passed now and I finally got my XPS15! I am really starting to love that Asus Zenbook. It did so much right. This is my true and honest opinion from a person who payed the full retail price where I had to work my ass of at a holiday job. I am really picky, and I want the best of the best, this is why I bought the XPS. The model I bought has: - I7 6700HQ - 16GB DDR4 - 4K Touchscreen - Geforce GTX 960m - 500GB Samsung NVMe drive Here are my Pros and Cons: Pros: - Amazing screen! The colours are brilliant. - Pretty good speakers, they get very load and are surprisingly good for a laptop. - Keyboard is ok, not so much travel but pretty tactile. - Very nice trackpad (UPDATE 1: Altough the trackpad feels great, I seem to have a bit of trouble being precise with it, this seem to be a common problem, it's not too bad, but yeah. I use a mouse 90% of the time so not really a big problem) - Stunning build quality, the aluminium is almost pornographic. And the top lid is fingerprint resistant! - Great performance! Cons: - Headphone jack… This is a problem I worry about the most and I find the most disappointing… There is quite a lot of static noise on it. And it clicks a bit when the sound is enabled. You really hear the transition good. I have had this program a lot with tablet; but they were all cheap so yeah. The problem is caused by a bad design of the audio part on the laptop’s motherboard. it gets a lot of interference of the other components on the motherboard. I will probably buy a DAC because it’s pretty unbearable for me… Sad.. really sad.. - Little shift in red colors on weird viewing angels. When you look at the screen from a pretty weird angel the colors shift a bit, but that is ok. You will never watch your screen from that direction. - No numeric keypad, this is a “problem” I knew from the beginning. But I got used to working with shift + 1,2,3,4 etc due to my Asus, so yeah, a bummer but nothing too bad. - From my little time I have spend, I can say that the fans are pretty quite but the fan profile is a bit aggressive for my liking. - Bloatware, not too much but still too much.. - The hinge, this is another annoying one. You need quite a lot of force to open the hinge, so one finger opening is a nono. ( I had this on my Asus, so I will need to get used to it ) - High pitched noises from the screen adaptor? When something is changing on the screen you can hear quite a lot of high pitched noises coming through the fans grills pointed at the screen. It’s like a bit of a coil whine with GPUs. - Low quality camera, very bad low-light conditions. But I don’t us this much so, it’s okay. - Very weird problem where I haven't find the cause yet. The laptop boots quite fast (slower then the Asus) but when I close my lid and open it again, it takes 12 seconds or more before the login screen pops up. Those 12 seconds are just black screen. I can't seem to find anyone else with this. I will contact costumer support about this one next monday... UPDATE 2: I have found another pretty big problem... Screen ghosting, a lot of screen ghosting. I tested a game and it's very noticable. For my case it's okay, but it was to be expected from such a 4K panel. Another quite big dissapointment.. So for the gamers under us. I think the 1080p model would be better for that. I can still hook it up to another monitor for gaming but that defeats the point of a laptop. While testing with games I was abble to puch it quite heavy. I even played CSGO highest settings on 4K and it was very playable. It looked great too. The fans went too full throttle and they can get quite noisy. But not the annoying whining sound but more the whooshing, air moving one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So as you can see, there are a few cons, but most are not really a big deal. The one thing I’m the most disappointed about is the headphone jack issue.. Any other persons having this with there XPS? These are the things found with inly using it for an hour. I will update this for the interested from time to time. I hope I can help some people with this. With greetings, Thomas

RoyalPC posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
I plan on building a new gaming pc, now since this will be my first ever build i'd like to be sure that i picked the right parts for the PC. I'd like to be sure that all my components will work with my motherboard and if I maybe can make some improvements here and there in the components in the same price range. I figured this is the best place to find out! All links are redirecting to tweakers.net. Please bare in mind that I plan on using this pc for im hoping a couple years to play games like csgo, h1z1 and cod on fairly high setting on a decent fps. I live in Holland (Europe ) so prices may difference from other country's and continents. The parts I picked: - GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4G. Priced at: €255.- - CPU: Intel Core i5 4440 Boxed. Priced at: Priced at: €182.- (Stock cooling) Not planning to overclock. - RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00CEU (16GB). Priced at: €83.- - SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. Priced at: €100.- - Internal Drive: Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001, 2TB. Priced at: €78.- - Motherboard: Gigabyte G1.Sniper B6. Priced at: €89.- - Disk Drive: Samsung SH-224DB Black. Priced at: €20.- - Power Supply: Corsair CX500M (500W). Priced at: €70.- - Case: Sharkoon T28 Green. Priced at: €60.- Total Price: €937.- Did I miss out on anything or can i get something better in the same price range? Thanks for helping.- 34 replies

My AMD FX 6300 CPU is running at idle at about 30 - 40 degrees Celsius but when I'm running any game it goes up to about 70 - 85 degrees. I know that the recommended temp from AMD is 65 degrees so this isn't ok, is it? If it isn't ok why is it like this and what can I do about it. I am using the stock AMD cooler and my PC is built in an old acer aspire case from a old 2008 just bought form a shop build PC, I can feel the metal case get hot when playing a game especially near where the power supply is. Thanks for replies in advance!

I am considering buying a phone before November or after february, as CES is in early January. Although I am stuck with deciding whether to have a removable back on phones or not. My main issue is battery swapping incase if I need to, except after 2 years, do I really need to? Note I drop my current phone on hard pavement about 3 times so far in 2.5 years. No scratches nor cracks on screen yet,, with minor scratches on the side of the chassis. Usually if my phone falls from my hands, I usually break the fall by bouncing it off my foot. So generally thoughts on removable backs and non removable backs?

Hello all you awesome people. My question is Corsair Dominator Platinums or Vengeance Pro's? Cost isn't a problem when it comes to RAM. I heard that the Vengeance Pro's are tuned for Haswell and Ivy-Bridge. I do care about looks and you have to admit those Dominator Platinums look gorgeous but do the Vengeance Pro's have anything really over the Dominator Platinums. What should I go for and what would you go for? Helpful Information: The system is running Haswell ( 4770K ). Thanks!

I'm days away from finally building my pc, but it just occurred to me while a friend mentioned Win 8 on skype, that I chose Win 7 over 8.1 because i hear 8.1 isn't as good, but what is so bad about it again? I completely forgot. It performs certain games better, and its touchscreen welcoming, etc.

Phanteks Enthoo Primo - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25558 Corair 750D - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_961&products_id=25189 Just looking to get other peoples opinions and some pros vs cons. Personally i think the Primo has way more useful features and would be a better option not even being more expensive really since you get 5 (high quality from what ive heard) fans valued at over $20 each. but let me know what you guys think. Interested in what other people think.

I feel Linus doesn't fully understand the gravity of how awesome this concept is. This will probably be the last phone you will ever need. These are the reasons why i backed phonebloks and why i back project ara: (reason one is its PRETTY. Customization decals on the phone would look awesome, and with the tile effect, any combo could look awesome. Straight white. Monocolour. Paterns. Anything broken up with aluminium will look sweet. Ok designer fantasies out of the way.) - COST - the $50 price is NOT a full phone cost. That is the cost of the metal backbone chassis with wifi antenna. You still have to pay for processor and camera and battery and actual phone antenna. the plan is for google to sell these backbones and have it an open marketplace with industry standards so other companies (nvidia, intel etc) can make their own processors to put in, at different costs. That if i want a last gen processor, i can pay $100 for it. If i want a bleeding edge processor. I can pay $400 for it. Exactly the same way the PC market works. - CUSTOMISABILITY - These ports are designed as 2 way data and power ports. Which means you can put a camera on a larger block if you want; it just means you can't put a battery block there and you have to deal with a smaller battery. If you wanted only processor and 15 batteries you could. If you wanted 500gb storage but no battery you could. And so with industry leaders providing different quality and cost blocks, you should be able to get almost whatever you want. Perhaps some overclocking too if they're open standards. Get a Canon camera on the large block for $500, and then fill up all the medium blocks with batteries Mount it to a quad copter, and put on a gps block, a camera block and an I/O block. Maybe have an entire gopro or quad copter chassis (see below) Each block can have quality and power and you can choose what to focus on like with a desktop. The small DAC might just have a 3.5mm jack, which sticks out a bit or something. The medium one might come out at an angle to fit, have volume rockers and a tinny speaker. The large one has an awesome speaker, volume rockers, and 2 jacks for friends to listen to. You can carry that around with you just in case, then take out your camera temporarily or something. Have 2 camera blocks that are synced HTC 1 m8 style. These are SOME ideas i had off the top of my head. Up to manufacturers to make, not google. they have said they're making the chassis and software. Nothing else. - SWAPABILITY - These blocks are supposed to be designed to be interchangeable between platforms. That when different sized chassis' come out for phablets and full tablets, I can just take my batteries and hard drive and camera from my phone and chuck them on my tablet which is only an extra $150 for the screen and chassis, and use each device when i need it. A tablet isn't always useful, neither is a phone, but having one set of hardware i can use in anything is awesome. What if i put it on a camera chassis with lens mount? What if i put it on a smartwatch mount which had 2 small slots, with built in processing? so i could choose whether i wanted gps tracking or heartrate monitoring, or battery. - UPGRADEABILITY - saying that there is only one cpu that would fit in it is a bit of a bad statement. This modular system is being approached in exactly the same way as the PC industry is. You can swap out your processor for another one. Except that due to size constraints its going to be a combined CPU/GPU/APU/Motherboard chip. (although with this other concept you might be able to customize within the processing block) If you look closely there is a locking mechanism on the edge of the slots, so it isn't going to fall out, and with open industry standards it will have as much tinkering potential as any desktop does. - COMPATIABILITY - With the size constraints there is a maximum constraint, but no minimum one. You could put a camera which was 1% larger than the medium slot, but way smaller than a large slot, and if it came with spacer material in the box, then it would fit. That could keep weight down for people who want a 30g phone. Yes you could make it thicker to put more in (see the camera in the background below) and again, that is a size and dimension compromise the consumer is willing to make. So yes i think it is aiming for the cheap market, but also the adventurer market, and the fitness nut market, and the tinkerer market, and every single market out there. That is the point of this That is the point of a desktop PC that you can CUSTOMIZE IT depending on whatever you feel like doing at the time. (if someone could link this to linus or luke that would be appreciated. It took a while to write) ((i don't really care if there are typos, but i am interested in discussion =) )) Thank you =)
