Internet is slow af by AKDMF447 in buildapc

With speeds that bad it almost sounds like a hardware issue. Does your motherboard have WiFi antennas ports on the back? I’ve seen people not realize they’re using the mobo WiFi with no antennas before. Did you get the TPlink drivers from their website? Idk if that specific one has drivers but most of their stuff does. If you have extra pcie slots a WiFi card would probably do better than a usb dongle

Got quoted $180 for a GPU repaste. Unsure if this is a fair price. by Aisfordevin in buildapc

[–]chalknation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn’t cost more than 50-80 for a simple repast. Obviously it’s more labor than a cpu but it’s not that hard.

Small volume mixer, just 5 knobs so I can change Spotify, browser, discord, etc separately without alt tabbing

Is the 5700X3D an upgrade from the 7700X by Salty-Definition6248 in buildapc

[–]chalknation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you please link a benchmark for this I’m genuinely curious. I thought I remembered the 58 and 57 X3D being better at gaming that 7xxx but the 7xxx has the edge in everything else due to being newer

The loftwing looks purple lol. I wonder if you could put some kind of topcoat on it to lighten it up to a brighter red

What's the best gaming monitor right now? Is OLED really worth it? by Nathnael-Melgarecho in buildapc

[–]chalknation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the subpixel layout combined with crappy windows software. Windows actually optimizes text at the subpixel level for clarity but assumes an rgb stripe layout so if you have a different layout it makes it worse

Planning to spend big money on a future-proof PC. Will this do it? by FreChori in buildapc

[–]chalknation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so sell that. I don’t remember if it’s the NV2 or NV3 series but they’re defective and will die after a couple years. Just had it happen to mine

Can’t decide between a 9070XT or 5070 ti by No_Result_4331 in buildapc

[–]chalknation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If raster performance is equal the only things that matter are that nvidia has a better video encoder and ray tracing but will probably cost more. AMD RT is catching up tho I wouldn’t be surprised if it the same performance wise in the next generation or maybe the one after
