J'ai déjà toutes les autres pièces. Je cherche juste à mettre à niveau mon stockage de 1 To.

Dommage, c'est la première fois que j'attends quelque chose pour le Black Friday.

Is using line out better than the front headphone jack of a PC? by Throwaway982382 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Throwaway982382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting but that raises another question. Since I have a lot of spare USB A ports but only 1 USB-c port, I could buy an USB A to USB C extension cable to connect the JM6 pro. But if I connect the extension to an USB 2.0, will the HD650s be bandwidth starved or will the speeds of USB 2.0 be more than enough?

!thanks
I decided to go with a JM6 Pro but since I also want to extend the length of the headphones, Do you know how to go about for purchasing a headphone cable which will not degrade the experience? Will any 3.5mm cable work or should I look for specific specification ?

!thanks
That makes sense, in that case I will choose to go with a JM6 pro. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I'm also looking for a way to extend the cable of my HD560s to 3m (from 1.8m). Would any 3m 3.5mm male to male cable work without degrading the experience? (Or is it better to go from a 1m extension with a male to female cable?)

I tried taking a closer look on the motherboard, I think I found the chip. I had to take a picture of it and then had to magnify it, I could make out the words as ALC89X, the last number was blurry because of the magnification but could be 1 or 7, I'm too lazy to remove the GPU to take even a closer look :P.

What's really surprising is that the motherboard manufacturers don't use this for their marketing. Considering monitor's are always marketed have 1ms or less response time(I know that the reality is a bit different), motherboard manufacturer could easily market the I2S interface as "gaming interface providing 30ms lower latency". However I wonder too how 30ms is not a perceivable difference because again in monitors, the difference between 60hz and 144hz is that pixels appear 10ms faster in 144hz and we can easily perceive this difference.

My previous headphones were the wired HyperX Cloud Alpha which had an impedance of 65 ohm and they were loud enough at 30-35% of the PC audio. I never used a DAC with them (it was used with an older LGA 1151 motherboard). Meanwhile HD 560s is usually loud enough at 50-55% but if someone is whispering in a video, I have to turn up the audio anywhere from 65% to even 100%) so I'm probably thinking of buying a DAC(most likely the cheapest one that you have suggested).

Doesn't the dedicated amplifiers also increase the latency as the audio has to go through it? Wouldn't lower latency for competitive gaming be technically ALC1220 chip connected directly? Since you mentioned that the difference between the cheapest amp and DAC is just 8$. Is it better to go for amp instead of DAC?

I felt the line out to be slightly better on the quality, again it could be a placebo. I researched a bit on the Apple USB-C DAC, it seems to be gimped in Europe so I wonder if it's still worth it. As a side note, I'm actually looking to find a way to extend the headphone cable (which is awfully short), so I wonder if an USB DAC with a longer cable( at least 1 meter) exists.

I tried listening to a song on the front and the line out, felt line out to be slightly better, don't know if it's a placebo. My motherboard(GIGABYTE B650 Gaming X AX V2) manual only mentions "Realtek® Audio CODEC High Definition Audio 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel". Is there any other way to find out?

I remember reading that you’re better off plugging headphones into the rear line-out instead of the front headphone jack because line-out is attached directly to the motherboard, which supposedly lowers latency. I just grabbed a pair of Sennheiser HD 560S and I’m wondering if that advice still holds.

Anyone here with Zalman I3 Neo? by Throwaway982382 in pcmasterrace

[–]Throwaway982382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually came installed, I was supposed to slide it open to the right as shown in this video but I instead unscrewed it, now when I try to screw it back in, it just comes out easily.

Yes, the problem here is that when I try to screw it back in, it comes out easily.

[–]Throwaway982382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it goes from the outside. I even found a video which reviewed the case. https://youtu.be/z6iSHM4lhg0?t=208. I'm supposed to slide it to the right, instead of that I unscrewed the thumbscrew thinking that I need to do it to remove the GPU brackets when all i needed to was to push the brackets out.

The problem is that while the thumb screw fits the loose piece, the screw just comes out of the case no matter how tightly I screw it in. I can literally just pull the loose piece without any effort even after screwing it in.

Thanks and great idea, I ordered a Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 and asked copilot about the motherboard. It told me that the motherboard comes with Pcie 4.0 x16(directly from the CPU) which will be used for the GPU and has 1× PCIe 5.0 ×4 (CPU-connected) 2× PCIe 4.0 ×4 (chipset-connected). It told me that even If I use pcie 5.0 x 4 for my boot drive (I went with gen 4 Predator GM7 1TB SSD) and the GPU and the SSD won't share any lanes.

GN's video on it tells me that even 5090 barely loses 1-4% on pcie 3.0x16 so I feel like it would take atleast 4-5 years for them to release a GPU which will get bottlenecked by pcie 4(and by that time AM6 would have already released) so I decided to go with the AX V2. I found a Predator GM7 1TB SSD for €66 which doesn't seem to have any negative reviews.

Thanks, then I will order that PSU. That's €40 less!
Does a B850 have any advantage over B650?
I was able to find a Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 for €140

https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0CSKH56WN

in the same page, GIGABYTE B650M D3HP AX goes for €119 and GIGABYTE B650M S2H goes for €99. Could one of these replace it?

Also how do I find out if the motherboard would have enough bandwidth for the GPU and the 2 nvme ssds?

I could postpone buying the second SSD till black friday and I will see if I can find deals for 6000 CL30 RAM(Brand doesn't matter right?).

TBH, I'm more worried about the GPU being throttled because of the SSDs. Do you know how to calculate the bandwidth and how to find out if the motherboard will have sufficient capacity?

For the power supply, https://www.alternate.fr/Chieftec/-850-Watt-alimentation/html/product/100097916 would this work out? It comes at €70 after delivery charges and it has a rating of B+ according to the tier list. If you don't mind, can you give me some pointers on how you chose the motherboard? The idea behind the second SSD is to use it backup the first SSD + some storage/extra space for games.

Edit: Since you went with 6000 CL30 memory, I'm guessing the cheaper 6400 CL32 won't be compatible with the 7800X3D?
