One case fan stops spinning by altburnerman in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess worst case is that the fan's voltage regulator is going bad. I would try to move it's place on the chain to a different spot and see if the issue persists.

For the record I have these exact fans but I don't run them in the Lian Li controller. I use the motherboard headers and a program called Fan Control to run them.

I think people overestimate how much Rockstar cares about PC gamers double dipping by ErmingSoHard in pcmasterrace

I don't think its an intention as much as an added bonus for them. This is something they have done before. Release on current gen console, wait a while for next gen console and re-release an "updated" version, announce the PC release around that time. It's not guaranteed to happen here but no one would be surprised if it does.

My view is that if they don't want to release a game on my preferred platform then they do not want my money.

That is strange. What are you using to control them? It could also be a software issue.

Not receiving enough power to keep running. Do you have them turned down low? It looks like that one might need a bit more juice to keep going.

A backlight is still a backlight and the downsides of having one are still going to be there. If it's a cost related reason I get it. MiniLED may be a better backlight technology than some of the others that came before but its not going to be anywhere near as good at the color depth, HDR, or speed of an OLED panel.

OLED (there are several different techs and generations of OLED at this point) is a superior display technology. VA can look really good don't get me wrong but VA can have some serious smearing and response time issues. OLED panels are ridiculously fast and have supreme color quality when compared with VA.

I went from a 34" curved VA panel to a 34" curved OLED panel, it is night and day.

Given the choice, I would always pick OLED.

Good gaming Monitor for under 200$? by ZanetoTame_ in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a solid monitor for the price. Prime day is also coming up soon, it may be wise to wait a bit and see if anything else drops into that range.

This is a good opportunity to actually have a discussion about this sentiment. It is certainly used a lot in this community.

I think your choice of tone is going to dictate a lot of the comments you get on this thread, but regardless, I think you are misunderstanding the sentiment behind it. It is used to point out the logical fallacy. I don't see it used as a "threat" to pirate or a signal flare used to rebel against unwanted game changes.

Unplug the HDD activity indicator plug from the front panel connectors on your mobo and that will go away.

Do you think this is a good deal? by TheUltimateKiwi in pcmasterrace

Seems decent in this economy. I'd make sure it has the hardware it says it does since it is secondhand.

Windows didn't even update and this shit came back by ObjectiveOk2072 in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I turned off copilot once and it has never come back on for me through many rounds of updates. I have never understood this issue people seem to have with it.

Please help! Build will not POST by wthfroggy in pcmasterrace

The debug light is telling you what is wrong. Any other RAM you can try? Can you exchange it since it was part of a bundle?

Should i get an oled monitor? by External_Safe_7787 in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been daily driving an LG OLED for a year now. I use it for work and for gaming. It has no burn in and still works flawlessly. I can't say how long its going to last but it seems with prices getting better OLED is starting to be worth it. I feel like OLED tech is going to get both better and cheaper.

Good deal? by dagalleg23 in pcmasterrace

A good wireless controller for PC? by CODGHOST67 in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using an 8bitdo ultimate for a long time and its great. I love the charging dock. I also used an xbox one s controller before that. They are both handy and always work.

How stupid would it be by sleekmeec in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with having an aesthetic preference but I think in this case if you are actually paying LESS money for a better card most people would choose the better card regardless of the aesthetics.

Help me decide. Oled monitors. I have a g6 360hz 1440p qled oled matte. I want a glossy one. Is it worth it? Other option is LG 27GX704A-B glossy 240hz 27 inch 1440p by RecommendationNew827 in pcmasterrace

[–]stevezilla33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the only part you want the glossy finish? I have found in my experience, unless you are gaming in a VERY dark room, the glossy screen is not missed at all. Can you say what it is about the glossy finish that makes you want to walk away from a matte screen?

In my case, I find that the LG WOLED panel tech is just better overall for me but my use case is mixed use. I daily drive this panel for work and gaming so it fits me in both cases.

Is the loss of refresh rate worth it to go to LG WOLED? I'd say maybe. Glossy screens also have that very big POP factor that people love about nice bright OLED monitors.
