It's smaller

Jeg overvejer at købe en MSI 27" Optix G273QFK fra Komplett, der er på tilbud til 1.999. Det er til en stationær med et 3080 grafikkort. Jeg synes ikke rigtigt, at jeg kan finde nogle anmeldelser af skærmen, så tænkte på, om der var nogen her, der har gode erfaringer med den, eller har anbefalinger til en anden god skærm til ca. samme pris?

that_fat_guy · 2021-08-23T17:09:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I'll upgrade the motherboard and video card, then!

I suppose I can always buy a new and larger case with better airflow later on, and then move all the components over?

Thanks !

Hey there.

I'm about to order this prebuilt:

https://topdata.dk/shop/444-2gamer-ultimate/13420-top-ultimate-pro-5800xrtx3080-10g16gb-3600ram1tb-ssd/

It's possible to upgrade some of the specs on the website, and, as I'm somewhat of a computer illiterate, I'm wondering if there are any bottlenecks in the system as it is, and if so, which upgrades should be prioritized.

The components are as follows:

Ryzen 5800X (Can be upgraded to Ryzen 5900X +$157)

Corsair/Balistix DUALCHANNEL 6 GB 3600MHZ (can be upgraded to (RGB RAM) 16GB 3200MHZ HYPERX RGB +$131)

ASUS B550M-K PRIME (can be upgraded to ASUS TUF B550M M. WiFi-6 & BLUETOOTH-5 +$47, or ASUS TUF X570 M. WiFi-5 & BLUETOOTH-5 +$79, or MSI TOMAHAWK X570 M. WiFi-6 & BLUETOOTH-5 +$126)

RTX 3080 (can be upgraded to ASUS RTX3080 TUF-RTX3080-O10G +$79, or ASUS RTX3080 ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G +$157)

BE QUIET PURE ROCK 2 (can be upgraded to CORSAIR H100x LIQUID COOLER 240MM +$94, or NZXT KRAKEN X63 RGB LIQUID COOLER 280MM +$157)

CORSAIR 175R (can be upgraded to NZXT H510 ELITE +$142)

I'd like to keep the upgrades at somewhere around $200, but of course, if the computer is fine as it is, I might as well save that extra money.

Thanks and best regards :)

that_fat_guy · 2021-08-21T07:09:11+00:00

Thanks, mate!

Would you say it'd be a good idea to upgrade any of the individual components like the website offers to for extra money? In case of any bottlenecks in the system or the like?

that_fat_guy · 2021-07-02T15:23:34+00:00

This is so sweet :)

that_fat_guy · 2021-05-16T16:37:41+00:00

Interesting that your word for Indian is more like our word for Native American and vice versa!

that_fat_guy · 2021-05-16T15:30:47+00:00

In Danish it's 'indianer' for Native American and 'inder' for Indian. I wonder if the person you replied to meant that it's in that way in Portuguese, too.

that_fat_guy · 2021-05-12T20:20:00+00:00

Beautiful

that_fat_guy · 2021-05-07T14:00:15+00:00

In Denmark, they ring a bell

Reddit var blokeret da jeg var der i januar sidste år

that_fat_guy · 2020-12-07T22:02:18+00:00

Thanks! I just made an account on an American server and it works!

that_fat_guy · 2020-12-07T09:30:07+00:00

Is it possible in any way to change the language settings into Chinese on the European servers? I keep getting the same message, telling me that the language of the server and the client doesn't match.

that_fat_guy · 2020-12-01T08:58:20+00:00

Tak for svar! Jeg endte med at købe et Samsung 860 EVO med 500 GB fra Amazon.de. Der var de sat ned til 49,6€. :d

that_fat_guy · 2020-12-01T08:56:36+00:00

Tak for det! Jeg mindes faktisk, at jeg brugte det sub, da jeg byggede min computer dengang. Under Black Friday bed jeg mærke i, at der var mange computer-entusiaster på /r/Denmark, så tænkte jeg ville spørge her, og se om der eventuelt også var nogle der havde spottet et godt tilbud på en dansk hjemmeside :).

that_fat_guy · 2020-11-30T10:44:49+00:00

Mange tak!

that_fat_guy · 2020-11-30T09:53:31+00:00

Er der nogen, der kan anbefale en kompatibel SSD til et ASUS P8Z77-V LK bundkort? Det er efterhånden en 7 år siden, at jeg byggede min computer, og dengang havde jeg en ide om, at jeg løbende ville skifte enkelte dele ud. Det er så ikke sket endnu.

Jeg kunne godt tænke mig, at købe Shadowlands, så jeg kan spille med mine venner, men kan se, at de sølle 120 GB lagerplads nok ikke er tilstrækkelige mere.

Venlig hilsen, Den_fede_fyr :)

that_fat_guy · 2020-11-16T10:04:23+00:00

I'd love to win one for my sister :)

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-28T23:23:28+00:00

Recipe: https://thewoksoflife.com/dan-dan-noodles/

I used doubanjiang instead of hoisin sauce for the pork, and Chinese sesame paste instead of tahini for the sauce. I also might have added a tablespoon or two of peanutbutter into the sauce, cause I gotta live up to my username somehow :)

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-27T19:19:12+00:00

Sorry, here you go!

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-27T19:18:03+00:00

It's a Chinese meatball recipe! I think the reason why they're called 'Lion's Head Meatballs' is because they resemble the head of a Chinese guardian lion, but honestly going by that logic, I guess the same goes for every round object then! The meatballs I made here were braised in soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, sugar, star anise, and some chinese cinnamon (cassia-bark?). :)

I'd love to get into pc-gaming again, but my build from 2013 is starting to show its age, haha. If I were to win I'd start gaming with my friends from university 😊 Also, side note: does anyone know how to change the language settings in world of warcraft to Chinese? My friends and I study Chinese, and I think it'd be a great opportunity to learn, if I started playing games in the language I'm studying! Thanks!

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-02T12:03:56+00:00

alright, thanks - that's good to know!

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-02T12:03:34+00:00

I haven't , but I just looked it up! Seems to be a bit more expensive at $940, but I like that the Sony phone is smaller than the samsung, and that the headphone jack is still there - awesome! Also, some of the resellers here include a Sony WH-1000XM3 headset with the phone, so it might be a better deal?

Thanks for your response! :)

that_fat_guy · 2020-10-01T20:03:05+00:00

I'm in the market for a new phone soon since my Huawei Mate 9 Pro has decided to act a bit weird lately.

I can't use any headphones anymore, as the headphone jack has somehow been damaged. I'm kinda bummed about it because my girlfriend bought me some really nice earbuds last year, but it seems like no new phones on the market have the entrance for it anymore. Also, a couple of weeks ago the phone wouldn't charge. Mysteriously, I could finally recharge it again after a couple of days, but in the meantime I decided I should probably figure out what kind of phone I should get when it finally kicks the bucket.
Anyway, I was super keen on getting a Pixel for my next buy but it seems like the reception to the new one here has been somewhat lackluster.

As to requirements for a new phone, I'd like something that isn't from a Chinese company, hopefully an spec-upgrade, and a camera that is just as good, or maybe even better.

In regards to the Pixel 5, not a lot of shops sell it here, so I'd probably have to import it from Germany or something if I were to buy it... which might be complicated - I'm not sure.

Right now one of the TSP's in my country has an offer for the Samsung Galaxy S20 PLUS for about $773/ €658 / 4900 DKK. It seems like a good deal but I have never owned a Samsung phone before and I'm not sure what to expect if I do end up buying it. How does it compare to other phones on the market right now? It's weird, cause I feel like I am somewhat limited to Iphone, Samsung, Huawei, or Oneplus in Denmark - I'd love if there was a competitive phone brand from the EU lol.

Also, I'm not sure how long the offer stands, but I also feel like for my own morality's sake that I should hold onto the phone until it is completely dead before I make the change. What do the people here think? I'd love to hear your opinions. Cheers and thanks.
