19" may be too small for 1920x1080. I would take 21-24". Yeah, I used U2412M too before switching to 27" 1440p. iirc it's not PWM flickering-free though (or did they fix that in newer revisions?), so may cause fatigue for some people... Though it's not really proven that it causes fatigue or other n...

Looks like there is a new 6 TB WD Red replacing older WD60EFRX.

Anyone used it? Is it still not helium?

It depends on app and OS, modern apps usually don't have scaling issues and there are some improvements in each major Windows update, but yeah 1440p is the safest choice.

Use Task Scheduler, iirc it will not launch as admin from Startup folder.

TR4 is for Threadripper, not for 2700x.

i would recommend to run the bios Fan running and see if you like it, i always setup my own graphs for each header and test multiple stress until i find the way i like it. Yes, tried it, seems mostly fine but there are some inconveniences: not possible to to test fans to know what % results in what...

Other USB keyboards worked fine.
Actually it seems to be something specific to Das: tried 2 models when encountered this for the first time (old Ultimate version from 2012 and the latest Ultimate), both didn't work.

Try other USB ports, there are some that are intel native and some are 3rd party, and usually this semi high end boards come with multiple internal usb hub/controllers Yeah, I tried several ports, front and back, and hubs on other devices, nothing worked, it would just flash the num lock etc. light...

Finally got my build :) The same as in the first message but Asrock Z390 Taichi Ultimate, 2x 2x16GB LPX 3000Mhz C15, Palit Gamerock GTX 1080. haven't tested much the temperatures yet, in some games it was about 60-70C with fans at quite low rpms. Some issues that I encountered so far: 10G network po...

Founders Editions are probably not the best choice for silence even in 2xxx because they don't turn off the fans in idle unlike many other cards from Asus/MSI/Palit/...

Yeah, many MSI/Asus/Palit/... GPUs turn off the fans in idle and during gaming it doesn't matter much because of the sound/headphones.

Also most users don't want to mess with replacing the GPU cooler + some think that it voids the warranty (afaik it's not, though may depend on manufacturer, country).

Im sorry i haven't received it yet (i don't live in the US delivery to me takes weeks) Yeah, np, I probably will not order until somewhere during the next week or later anyway because half of the parts are out of stock here. Also remember we have CES2019 just around the corner, maybe AMD shows some...

If i were able to fit it, i would use G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-32GTZR afaik it should be possible to mount BeQuiet DRP4 fan a bit higher but it's 420 EUR instead of 220-270 (so +300-400 EUR for 64 GB), not ...

Any updates about Taichi? :) btw I was researching AIO watercooling a bit because people always say that watercooling is great (and I was thinking that maybe e.g. BeQuiet AIO is actually quiet, I am mainly worried about the pump in idle), but looks like there is not much difference between AIO and h...

I usually use 1.5-2x speed.

hm, looks like in most coil whine reports people say that it's only in idle and disabling C-states or C1E removes or decreases it.

So maybe it's not a big issue then, as I understand disabling C-states only a bit decreases power efficiency in idle (like +5W).

if you fear Gigabyte is more likely to have coil whine, go with AsRock Taichi. Yeah, seems like it's indeed could be a safer option because I see many coil whine reports on Master but almost no about Taichi (could be partially because it is less popular though). However in some of the Hardware Unbo...

Now lots of motherboards that don't have good vrms simply throttle the cpu in order to keep vrms under control and the cpu temperature hm, I wonder why they do that if as I understand people successfully use Asus XI Hero for 9900k OC. btw found this strange review in which Asus is cooler than other...

there are lots of VRM thermal throttling that limit what the 9900k was design to do, specially i would avoid Asus this gen, at least if you want to still go with 9900k. We saw lot of different results on inital 9900k reviews because of this I thought it matters mostly for OC 9900k. Yeah, I will thi...

I am planning to build a new gaming/work PC soon (1440p 144Hz), so since GTX 1080/1080 Ti are no longer available the only choice seems to be RTX 270 (280 is too expensive and probably not necessary, I doubt that we will see something interesting requiring Raytracing in this generation). According t...

Buildzoid (Actually Hardcore Overclocking) made a video showing several types of inductors and explaining how they cause coil whine, also suggested some ideas for mods to reduce coil whine.

Maybe someone will find this useful.

They tested powerful gaming PC in BeQuiet 601 with stock 2 fans, doesn't seem like a fair comparison, it shouldn't be used like that.

Also there are other noises besides fans: coil whine, HDD vibration, ...
Maybe BeQuiet is better for that.

R5? The latest model in this line is R6.
Also they recently released very similar S2.

resistante wrote:High resolution won't magically give you more space, it will give you more dpi.

Yeah, by resolution I mean the most common monitor size for that resolution without scaling, like 21-24" for 1080p and 27-32" for 1440p.

afaik for Premiere RTX are better than 1xxx GPUs, but 2070 is almost the same as 2080 Ti.

So 2070 (or 2060 when it's released) may be a better choice if the budget is not too limited.

A 1440p monitor is recommended due to the increased amount of digital workspace and multitasking capability it offers compared to a 1080p monitor, though some users may prefer 2 1080p monitors. Windows currently does not scale 4K monitors well. And some may prefer 2 1440p :) Or 1 40" 4K. Or ultrawi...

There are recently released EVGA or Seasonic ones in the $65+ price range that are silent at low loads and don't get very load. There are many good semi-passive PSU like that, Corsair RMx is often recommended. CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen is still a good mid-range option (<$50); in higher price ranges ...

Regarding the PSU, can you explain better why would the RMX be better than the RMi? 2) decent build. 3) semi-passive fan design means the fan won't be turning when you use it for most tasks (including music production)...and may not turn on except for the most demanding video editing/transcoding/ga...
