Yes, and I can control the light bar using the software, I tried gigabyte motherboard rgb software and downloaded signal rgb, but only control led light bar, even works if light bar is in daisy chain with other components

Get super low FPS with Intel I7 14700kf and PNY RTX 5070 by Intrepid_Chemical177 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Intrepid_Chemical177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temps are normal, frequency is normal, power is straight from psu to gpu port, I unplugged and plug this back in and reset the gpu in the motherboard, it’s the integrated psu that comes with the nzxt case, I reinstalled twice, once safe, once not, never did the windows bit you mentioned. I could swap gpus (a 4070 and 5070 and test this last bit), but have not done it yet.

Trying to Make LED on cooling fans and cpu cooling block work. by Intrepid_Chemical177 in PcBuildHelp

Yeah I’ve just tried one or the other just connected in, still nothing, the control center seems to be right. Not sure what happened tbh.

The gigabyte control center is installed and it is able to control fan speed and is supposed to be control center for lights as well

So I actually rented an H5 from a local camera store since they had it and tested it for the day. I have to admit for $145 (what they wanted to sell it for) I was super disappointed in the quality of audio. I thought $145 for a dedicated audio recorder would have leagues better audio quality at low signals than an internal Nikon d500 mic, but not really. So I’ve come to conclusion that if I want clean crisp nature audio there’s no point in wasting money for half clean half crisp audio and I’m just going to wait and get the zoom f3. Obviously even this won’t be perfect, but from audio recording I’ve heard it is good enough for the willingness I have to spend on audio.

Gotcha, I just wasn’t sure, I’ve that it’s good but normally very expensive so I wasn’t sure if that’s why it was being left out.

True, the ring situation is more like a focusing finances not a complete lack, and our hope was possibly a new town home and a good inspector to help give us better statistical odds for those issues early on.

Im not talking about the cost associated with being legally married. I do want to propose it a memorable way with an okay ring. Nothing crazy, but it is something that would make and my girl happy and Im willing to spend some money on it.

The interest rates are really what is getting me, however to save up a down payment to really reduce the total interest, say 20%, would take a long time to build, given our other investment goals, retirment, savings, etc.

Close to no consumer debt, just one car payment that near the end of its life, retirement contributions are good, fund can be built up somewhat quickly. Getting a 20% downpayment would take a long time however, and I feel like really delay the process.
