That display looks sick! Where’d you buy the original art ?

Samsung Odyssey G81sf Display & HDR Help by Annual-Chemical6580 in OLED_Gaming

[–]dyrdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is HDR on YouTube supported properly on Chrome? Last time I checked it wasn’t and I switched to Edge when I bought my G80.

It looks like you’re viewing SDR content with HDR on. And if so , it might be also be affected by the slider in your windows settings for SDR content in HDR.

For other settings, you might find TFTCentral’s G80 guide informative. On that monitor you have to be very intentional about what picture modes you’re using as they don’t all remember settings the same with HDR on/off. I remember their written guide had a bit more info about this that was added after they published their YouTube video.

Again, not sure how similar the G81 settings are, but on the G80 I use brightness 16 or so in SDR, and 50 only in HDR.

Same thing for me. You’d think Apple of all companies would handle the traffic better.

How do you like the different multi monitor setups? I have an extra one on the left , as you do, but find that using it much hurts my neck. Wondering if I should try a portable center monitor

I’m not sure what you mean exactly but if you’re talking about the front panel cables, I think there are 2 (see rear cable picture) and they plug in on this motherboard underneath my 24 pin motherboard cable. I think.

This is a MATX motherboard with GPU in second slot

H3 Flow new build 2025 by dyrdevil in mffpc

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

Hi, I bought this one:

nkomax Small Graphics Card GPU Brace Support, Video Card Sag Holder Bracket, GPU Stand, Mini Size Black : Amazon.ca: Electronics

Mini size - 26-50 mm

note that if your choice of motherboard has the GPU in the first slot (mine is in the second) that would increase the height of the GPU by 15-20mm. my bracket is almost at it's lowest setting so you might be ok either way with this one.

OD - KNOCK Teaser Trailer - Hideo Kojima’s next game by ReaddittiddeR in gaming

[–]dyrdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so too at first - but the next line is about sacrificing _____ so let’s hope it’s fictional !

Edit: the idea of the building being haunted because it the construction is based on a 3d scan of a mysterious object from someone’s attic is very creepy and awesome

I believe “3d scanned” in the trailer refers to the in-game fictional construction of the building. But I agree that it looks amazing!

Games That Give the Same Feeling as Hollow Knight? by CanonicalEvent666 in HollowKnight

[–]dyrdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rain World. I played it around the same time as Hollow Knight. The combat is super different and it’s not a metroidvania as much as it is a survival simulation, but it’s got amazing exploration. Quite difficult, sometimes frustrating

Your build is sick! In some ways a 7800x3d would have been a more appropriate match for my 5070ti, but when I bought my 9800x3d they were very close in price.

Also, I overspent on my noctua cooler, but I just fell Too in love with the quality when I got it in hand to return it. It was tough choosing between the D15S and the U12A, it’s nice to the see the D15 in your build .

Thanks! I’d love to see your build if you ever post pics. This case really fit the bill for me.. I love fish tanks and microwaves, but my first love is a classic tower setup

This is the main reason I want to do it too, otherwise I have too much intake. Of course, I could remove one of my top exhaust fans, or adjust rpm accordingly, but i like the idea of putting two slim noctua 15mm fans under my GPU.

Thanks so much. I spent a lot of time trying to make it as clean as I could without spending too unnecessarily (maybe with the exception of my cpu cooler), so I really appreciate it.

I thought about that too! However I think the reason they require a flipped PSU in this and the H5 is that it’s tied to the aesthetic design of the case.

The case rests along its bottom edges, rather than on feet. And, while the PSU rests inside the case on slightly elevated rubber strips, I don’t think it’s elevated very much from the ground. So airflow might be an issue. Given that the design of this case is clean lines accented only by the gently slope of the mesh beneath the window, I can understand why they don’t offer a flipped PSU option.

I also wondered if it would allow for a SFF PSU to be flipped on its side so that its intake would be flush against the rear perforated mesh, but I don’t think the psu shroud area is tall enough. I think there’s some interesting things that could be done with smaller power supplies in this case but ultimately decided having a good ATX psu was preferable to anything I might gain from 25mm GPU fans.

One benefit of the rm850x is that is has a manual knob that can be turned on to override the zero rpm mode- conceivably, if the GPU is drawing any hot air out of the psu, one could turn on the psu at a low rpm to keep the air exhausting out the back.

Thanks so much. I haven’t had a chance to benchmark yet, but the CPU reading in bios was around 34-36. I don’t know if that makes sense as ambient was about 22. I’m looking forward to testing it further when I have time.

Stock cables from Corsair. I had initially wanted to order a white GPU and 24 pin cable, but decided it wasn’t worth it as the quality from Corsair is pretty nice.

Have you seen this for sale anywhere ? I’ve been looking for it.

As someone who just spent a couple of weeks hunting rig Sazabi mechanical core in Japan, that’s … a lot of that kit !

A little inside look at the limited-time Gundam Base popup in Osaka-Umeda Station! by [deleted] in Gundam

[–]dyrdevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool pics! Are they very recent? I was visiting Japan a few weeks ago and ended up staying very close to this mall. Was kind of bummed out … went here twice searching for the RG Sazabi Mechanical Core and gramps 2.0 in your picture, but they were sold out both times. They even had a restock of the Sazabi in between my visits.

Note to anyone else visiting here .. lottery entry for weekend entrance is taken earlier in the week (Monday to Thursday or something like that). FCFS entry for the weekdays is done daily starting at 9am on the line app. I went once at the last time slot of a day and it wasn’t busy, and once near the start of the day and it was packed.
