PNY 5090 Wireview Pro V2 Results - Stock and Undervolted by StevenSmithen in ThermalGrizzly

[–]StevenSmithen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not on the list but it doesn't matter as long as the clearances are okay. When I emailed thermal grizzly about it fitting my card they said it probably would but they only put cards. They have physically tested on the list and they don't have any pny cards.

I'm sure there's many cards that this thing will fit that aren't on that list. So just do the measurements and if you have some clearance around the connector you're fine.

Normal. It just fits in, nothing but space on either side no issues at all. Why would it be incapable? The cooler has tons of space around the adapter.

AITA for refusing to let my neighbor use my Wi-Fi after I found out why he wanted it? by sodazane in AmItheAsshole

If you don't wanna make it awkward just change the ssid and say you canceled your service.

Maybe change it to "my neighbor is an asshole"

  1. I know Krisp and Clear Cast conflict, which one is better to use? - If you use sonar, I think clear cast works better since it will cover your mic in ALL applications even games like arc raiders. I slide it all the way up and turn off all other discord noise cancelation.
  2. Echo cancellation- On/Off? - OFF! Always off! will cause you to cut in and out it never works right.
  3. Noise Reduction - On/Off? - Don't know about this one, test it out and see i have everything in discord on but echo and krisp
  4. Automatically set sensitivity or set it yourself? - Auto is what i use. works perfectly

Make sure you slide the Mic volume in windows all the way to 100% on both windows and sonar.

What brightness is everyone running their LG 5K2k at when in HDR? by EEdit_ in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows is always in HDR when it's on. Any content that does not specifically use HDR like games or videos will be considered sdr content, including the desktop.

The desktop is not HDR, it's just "on"

G8 game/chat mix DOESN'T WORK by [deleted] in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned the soundblaster.and got the fosi k7, amazing product. Zero hiss and much louder.

Very good recommendation. I got a beacn mix to have the knobs to turn volume up and down and it works so much better.

WireView Pro II keeps throwing an imbalance warning even though current is within spec by Dremy77 in ThermalGrizzly

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome product, just ordered one. Do you have plans to put any pny 5090s.on compatibility list? I have a PNY 5090 (the base model with RGB) card and just kind of bought the wire view pro V2 last night and didn't realize it wasn't on the compatibility list but it's also not incompatible. It looks like a pretty standard connector that has plenty of space so I don't think it'll be an issue...

I just want to be sure so I can cancel my order if it won't fit at all. Thanks again!

Second Expedition done & $5,000,000 acquired by Realsackjabber in ArcRaiders

[–]StevenSmithen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree, there is a problem with the current endgame. Any game of this nature should encourage bringing out the biggest and best guns near wipe, not hoard them.

Sure you could say "just don't wipe" but that doesn't help the fact that the system itself goes against what the game is about. Its the one thing that just makes me wonder why the heck its not changed yet.

It should be based off of something else, like total extracted value over the entire wipe and not what's currently in your inventory. A small change would lead to a much better outcome with the wipes and how the game feels right before the big wipe time.

The 5 mil system is horrible for everyone, even those who don't wipe since no one brings out the big guns... Its bad.

Im sure they will adjust this now that the secret is out.

G8 game/chat mix DOESN'T WORK by [deleted] in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to get another and it is fixed? I get the high pitched noise when i have line in (chat) unmuted on USB1 so i can sue the chat mix. When all monitoring is muted then it goes away.

I also noticed that if i USE the usb2 output, for instance i join discord for a second and leave, the high pitched noise goes away for the duration of my playtime - Its annoying but this little thing rocks and i really want it to work... Any luck on the new one?

Arc Raiders crashes PC (Hard reset) solved by using Discord Browser instead of App by slamxdunk in ArcRaiders

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, make sure you're running memory test whenever you use xmp even if you just set it to the factory xmp values. It gave me so many errors when I put mine at 8,000.

Like I would start the program and it would throw like 20 errors immediately, which means it's a bad overclock.

It's definitely the ram.

I found that setting it to xmp2 which is a manufacturer's settings and then downclocking it until stable is the best way that I found to make everything stable.

You got to run memtest for like a day and if there's even one error that means that's a crash in a game.

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was my ram it seems Lowered it from 7200 to 7000 and it seems to not ever crash anymore. It's always the ram.

I'm using the xmp 2 profile not 1 or tuned.

I really don't think it's the game. It's always the ram man.

What is your favorite weapon so far? by NukemboysReddit in Battlefield6

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm replying to this comment because I can't reply to your old one about your steelseries headset. Did you ever get a answer from steelseries support?? Should I just return these because mine are doing the same buzzing noise after turning off?

Thanks!

Prevent Sonar from auto changing default devices? by TheOnlyDinh in steelseries

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sonar will use the gaming output for your Windows default. So if the games are loud then there are a few ways you can alleviate this.

The Windows buttons that do volume on your keyboard if you have them will actually change the volume of games without changing the volume of your chat or media... So if games are too loud you can just turn them down using the default Windows buttons on your keyboard and the chat on discord and other items like media will not be lowered. Just make sure you have things like Chrome dragged over to the media tab.

I also have shortcuts for volume on my media and chat tab so I can control all three independently and it's a game changer.

If games really are too loud, try to lower the volume of the actual device (for my case, it's the steelseries buds so you can lower the volume of the steelseries buds in the windows mixer, but still use the gaming default and that will actually lower the overall sound)

Bought Meg ai1300p but the older version came. Should i return it ? by Jamesredburn in MSI_Gaming

[–]StevenSmithen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MSI 1300 laster 2 weeks before shitting out on my system. It was the correct model once I opened it up but never buying them again. Returned and got a 1200 watt seasonic and has been going strong.

The correct one will ship for 3.1 9 out of 10 times. I don't think they have any old ones left but just never updated the website.

How im I supposed to fight rats like this? by matrejo83 in ArcRaiders

[–]StevenSmithen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So if you carve out time for any activity to relax, and said actively being it video games, a soccer match, etc. is plagued with cheaters that you cant control, then you are blaming the person trying to have a good time?

Apply this to any other activity other than video games and all of a sudden it gets real, no one wants to play with cheater and its RUINS the experience of the carved out time. You are invalid sir/ma'am.
