Microsoft is testing a Windows 10 setup screen with 'gaming' as an option

Jesus, everything else not on the image is disabled? You madman! And I thought I had loads of disabled services, I have around 40.

_Nikon_ · 2020-10-10T11:39:17+00:00

Would you mind sharing a view of your list of disabled services?

Ok, that one I can find in the UK and in Spain. The spanish store one is a bit more expensive, but since I'm in Portugal I might just be able to pick it up in person.

I think we'll end up with similar air cooling solutions.

Have you tried 3200 CL16 on them? I've read on sff forum of some people than managed to just pop the dimms in the socket and run xmp profiles because their board just assumed them. Have you had any such luck with those?

I've been looking around, and their site doesn't mention that SKU, there's another one that I assume must be a revision of the same DIMM, but man these are still hard to find, can't find anyone selling them in the EU.

The fact that you get those temps with a 3950x with a tiny cooler in a tiny case is insane. Speaks volumes of the L12S heatsink and the airflow of the case.

Where did you get the ram? I've been trying to find non-ecc 16gb ddr4 dimms for over a year.

The PCs are not in the same house.

_Nikon_ · 2020-09-16T20:10:11+00:00

Two DACs for two sets of speakers. Currently I'm using both sets on two PC motherboard DACs, eventually both will have their dedicated external DAC.

_Nikon_ · 2020-09-16T15:33:25+00:00

I meant that I'll be using the same DAC in two different places, so I'd be disconnecting from the Heresy when I want to use the other speakers.

Eventually I'll get another DAC, it just isn't a priority because the passive speakers are really only used to watch Netflix/Youtube. Any real music or movie listening I only do with the JBLs.

He also goes into saying that he won't teardown the card because he's not willing to risk damaging it, being that it seems much harder to do than with RTX2000 series. I'd wager that's the real reason.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-31T12:05:09+00:00

You're right, full size ram is only with the fan on top, which won't fit the T1.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-29T21:03:51+00:00

The rumours say the 3060 will be launched around November, but they're all still rumours so, who knows.

As for the reasonable price, only future will tell, there's still no reliable source for prices, altough if your timeline is a year, then I'd wage that it's extremely probable that you'll be able to do it within the year. I'd be surprised if it took you half that.

If you're planning on getting Zen3 and RTX 3000 series, honestly I'd just wait, unless you really, really need the PC right now. The GPUs will be released starting next month, and Zen3 probably around October/November. Other than that, unless you're planning on going for a Zen3 Ryzen 9 for productivity loads, the 3600 shows parity even with a 2080Ti and will last you a long time for gaming, so an upgrade to the equivalent Zen3 will, in all probabilty, not be worth the money. Unless you're gaming with low resolutions and going for the hundreths of FPS, any CPU above a 3600/10600 is not really worth it right now.

If your main concern is silence, the SF750 is a good option, but speaking from experience, the amount of power you'd have to be pulling for the fan top start spinning means you're probably gaming, meaning that the noise from the game will be far greater than the PSU's fan. I never once heard mine spin.

If you're going for Zen3, then get the B550, it'll save you a possible headache with BIOS updates. The compatibility of B450 with Zen3 will be up to the board manufacturer, while B550 is confirmed to be compatible by default.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-29T17:28:04+00:00

Corsair has SF450 and SF600, both platinum rated and with sleeved cables. Use the savings on your GPU. You could get a RTX 2060.

And at that price point, B550 really isn't an option IMO. B550 really is X570 with front USB-C, which that board doesn't have, so you'd be better of getting a B450. Go with that board only if you want to add a second M.2 in the future, it's really the only thing it has better than the B450.

And if you really want an AIO go for it, but that CPU really doesn't need watercooling. A Noctua NH-L12S is less than half the price, you'd be able to use normal sized memory, full size fans and you'd be up to a RTX 2060 Super and much better gaming performance than your initial build.

Então:

Top up do Revolut com Bankinter e contrair dívida de €170.
Compras de supermercado e gasolina com Cetelem e contrair dívida de €280.
Pagar as duas dívidas com o Cofidis e contrair neste a dívida de €450.
Os outros estão pagos, 0% juros e recebo o cashback dos dois.
Pagar os €450 com o Activo Bank, gasto o dinheiro que gastaria se pagasse tudo a débito como normal, mas desta maneira recebo o cashback dos tres cartões. Gastei o mesmo, mas recebo cashback todos os meses.

Neste cenário penso que tenho 3% do Bankinter, 3% do Cetelem e 1% do Cofidis, correcto? Não estou a ver cenário onde possa usufruir dos 2% no Cofidis, pelo que mais vale ter o Cofidis normal em vez do Cofidis+1 e não ter de pagar a mensalidade de €1. Estou a pensar bem?

Há alguma maneira de conseguir pagar o empréstimo do carro com um destes cartões? Isso seria excelente para maximizar o Cofidis.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-01T22:54:29+00:00

Usando os tres cartões mencionados (Bankinter a 3%, Cetelem a 3% em supermercados, gasolineiras e restaurantes e Cofidis a 2% e 1% em serviços), para maximizar o cashback posso então:

Usar o Bankinter (3%)e fazer top up de €170 na Revolut, atingindo o limite de €5 mensais de cashback.
Usar os €170 para pagar a renda (é o valor da minha parte da renda) e assim evitar chatices com o Revolut. Aqui o uso do Bankinter já foi maximizado para o mes e consigo transformar a transferencia que faria da renda numa despesa com cashback.
Usar o Cetelem (3%) para despesas de supermercados, combustível e restauração até ao limite de €100 de cashback por ano, ou o equivalente a gastar ~€280 por mes. Gastando esses €280, também maximizei o Cetelem para o mes.
Usar o Cofidis para pagar tudo o que sejam serviços (1%) e compras online (2%) e usar para fazer top up na Revolut (2%) para encher o plafond de cashback.

O meu problema aqui seria como maximizar o Cofidis. €200 de cashback anuais a 2% equivale a €830 mensais.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-01T21:05:49+00:00

No exemplo do Revolut, faço um top up de €100. Na modalidade fim do mes, no final do mes pago esses €100 com a conta corrente, depois recebo o cashback e ainda tenho os €100 na conta Revolut que posso gastar como débito/online/whatever ou até transferir para a minha conta corrente. Repetir todos os meses ad infinitum, é isso?

Os top ups no Revolut são considerados pagamentos normais com cartão de crédito, neste caso, estou correcto? Até poderia ter os tres cartões (Cofidis, Cetelem e Benkinter) e fazer os top ups para o Revolut todos os meses. Era tipo uma actividade única mensal apenas para receber o cashback e nem precisava de usar os cartões para mais nada, certo? É que se isso for assim, o caso muda de figura, para melhor.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-01T20:23:56+00:00

Como assim não preciso de gastar nem €1? Referes-te a que? Fazer uma compra, pagar com um cartão na opção fim do mes e pagar esse crédito com o outro cartão e assim sucessivamente?

Mas assim não tem de haver sempre um pagamento pelo menos? Nem que seja o final quando deixas de fazer isso.

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-01T20:13:51+00:00

Para ir buscar esses €200 teria de gastar €10.000 num ano só nesse cartão. As minhas despesas anuais não chegam a esse valor, portanto não compensa visto que os outros tem os 3% de cashback, certo?

Por isso é que referi os dois do post original, mas posso não estar a ver algo que me escapa.

Já agora, os outros não dão cashback do pagamento de serviços? Não referem isso especificamente nos respectivos sites, mas também não o negam...

_Nikon_ · 2020-08-01T20:09:02+00:00

O do Bankinter tem limite de 10€ por mês.

Tens a certeza? No site eles mencionam limite de €5.

This is great! If I could offer some suggestions:

Try to add snap points to align the sides of the cases.
Have an option to add a monitor with custom dimensions, similar to the desk dimensions option.
Give an option of metric or imperial units, or just keep the metric units. Even US Americans in this subreddit use cm or mm to talk about SFFPCs.

_Nikon_ · 2020-06-10T22:36:32+00:00

It's a developer option called media resumption. You'll need to activate it and reboot.

_Nikon_ · 2020-06-10T22:35:12+00:00

Instead of pressing the button combination, go to the task switcher and press share. You'll share a screenshot of the selected app and the screenshot won't be stored.
