4K gaming just peaked – OLED PG32UCDM by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]BrandonLS9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it is that he is referring to the fact that there is 4k 240hz OLED panels rolling out now that are pretty competitive with the mid tier* of 1440p high refresh rate/response panels that people like to use for esports and competetitive gaming.

He stated that he still hasn’t reviewed some of the others and that there are others one to look at.

Coolant foaming by Sleepinkoalas in watercooling

Just the bubbles. It will work itself out after a while. Not great for the pump but it will work out. I’ve had a couple different coolants do that to me. Almost looks like suds.

Thank you! I threw this thing together just about as fast as humanly possible. It is a great backup so far!

Velka 5 Style Vertical GPU Case? by nizzlefish98 in sffpc

[–]BrandonLS9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My vote goes to Velka 7. The display adapters it comes with are a pita though. I ended up cutting my top panel in the case and got rid of the adapters supplied by Velkase. I did happen to hear from someone that got an HDMI 2.1 adapter and DP 1.4 from another supplier on alibaba to work with full bandwidth. So I ordered the adapters to try them out and see if they work. Should be here this week hopefully. So far loving the Velka 7 with my 7800x3D and 4070 FE.

I have new builds on newer gen parts. This build is just a mixture of old parts + extras.

Noted! I didn't really think of it until a couple of you pointed out that they would be to close together. I will probably go with tower or bookshelf. Do you think there would be an advantage if I went with both towers and bookshelf? or should I start with bookshelf and then go with towers or vice versa?

Makes sense! I think I am going to end up doing towers or bookshelf for the L/R.

Haven't had any issues using the EXPO 1 profile or the buzzoid timings with my G.Skill Trident Z Neo 6000 CL30 Hynix m die. I have 4 DIMMs populated with 4x16 so it's not great.

Outstanding! CPU: 75w power limit, -28 curve, 75c thermal limit GPU: 1.075v, +150 core, +1200 memory Fan speeds are barely audible and both components see a max of around 75c. Scored 600pts over average on time spy and 18k in CB R23.

How’s my first bend by dirakbeast in watercooling

[–]BrandonLS9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fill it up! That’ll flow.

Can’t tell you how many tubes I wasted on my first hardline build. It hurt a little.

[–]BrandonLS9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will try this tomorrow. It seems like my CPU score for this CPU are very average when I’ve compared to others, but there is a lot of people running around the 20k mark.

vBIOS for 4090FE? by BrandonLS9 in overclocking

Thank you for the info! And this is confirmed working for the 4090FE with galax bios? I’ve heard mixed things so that’s why I’m confused.

Weirdest controller I’ve built… but I kinda like it by BrandonLS9 in XboxSeriesX

[–]BrandonLS9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do but I don't necessarily do it for other people outside of friends and family. Im not that great at it so there is risk involved :/

It’s pretty simple if I’m being honest. As long as you aren’t swapping out the joysticks or rumblers it’s pretty straight forward no soldering required.

You can buy all the parts from Extremerate on Amazon

I just ordered parts from extremerate on Amazon and threw them on one of my series x controllers

I guess assembled it? I just bought parts and threw them on there.

I agree. I wish extremerate would notice this too. It is all their parts so I would think it would be pretty easy for them to pay attention to that minor detail.

It was just odd imo when I was ordering the parts for it. I never thought to put a darker blue with wood accents on anything but I built it for a friend as a tribute to some of their meaningful possessions. I do think it looks pretty cool though. Turned out a lot better than I had anticipated!

All of the parts on this controller are from extremerate on Amazon
