I'm pretty sure he used a generic pic. He had several listings for RX 550s and they all used the same picture (except for one which had a "modified" IO bracket).

Aah ok. Well IC's don't just fall off anyway

So is it much better than a virtual 7.1 DTS:X / Dolby surround headset? It's a rare one possibly.
I have a wireless Logi G533 7.1 headset, which is not bad imo.

Yes. It has 10 discrete channels. It is rare because its the only headset I found that is analog that is real 7.1 other than the v2 version but that one is trash cuz razer synapse. There are usb ones but they won't be using my motherboard's analog connections. If I use USB it will make its own audio device and not use realtek. Anyway ill share a picture of it when it arrives.

Basically if your getting headphone there are only 2 options stereo or 7.1. If your motherboard supports it I recommend you get 7.1. Just make sure for the 7.1 it says it has 10 discrete channels. If your motherboard uses analog I recommend you get a analog one. If you don't have analog next best option is to use either USB or spdif. For spidif the only headset I found that had it was "wavzs". For usb the only one I found was "asus rog Centurion" And of course for analog mine I bought "razer tiamat v1 or v2", you are lucky if you find a v1 like I did. Also if you want your audio setup correctly use obs channel monitoring, then go from there. :) btw the "Bluedio V Is the only headset I found that has more than 10 discrete channels (it has 12) it won't beat analog or USB unless your motherboard has spdif on it.

Just installed a new AX210ngw card into my old 2014 Samsung laptop.
Not without a little difficulty: first, the wifi wasn't recognised, nor the bluetooth!
The wifi issue was easy to correct: as I don't have an ax network, I simply selected ac in the driver, and that cured the issue (shouldn't that be automatic?)

I tried quite a few things with Bluetooth (5.2), including switching back from Win 11 to Win 10, and back again.... with the latest Intel Bluetooth drivers.
Eventually found a review that referenced a "pin 2 mod" - but wasn't sure which pin was pin2..... It mentioned a YouTube video from the Green Electric Channel.

That referenced "2 pins" on the back of the card.
Sure enough, my old card (7260n + BT4) had 4 pins in a row (in the centre), while the AX210 had 6 pins in a row.
Taping off the 'extra pins', meant it was compatible with the older m.2 slot, and Bluetooth 5.2 suddenly burst into life.
(shouldn't backwards compatibility be automatic?)

Not very impressed: compatibility should be auto-sensed and the pins disabled.

Nice nice, my motherboard is a320m a pro max. I was in a rush to build my own first pc when I turned of age to get a job that I bought almost the cheapest motherboard I can find for my cpu. That's the I guess bottleneck but not really except I can't add more things.

well i am full throttle in Fallout 4 atm :laugh: but yeah i will ... afterall i spent 5 years as a GM for D&D 3.5 and other tabletop RPGs :D

and also Baldur's Gate was the first game i played, free demo in a computer-game revue and then full release, i also still have my booklet from BG2SOA, but not the box, sadly, on my 486DX2 33 (well ... that's what my brother in law gifted me in 1998, i passed to a K6-2 in '99 and then a Duron Spitfire in 2000~), after that i did a crash course on oldies like "pool of radiance" till "deathkeep", these were more gentle with the 486 :laugh:

Another RTX 3080Ti soon to be hosted inside another computation biology workstation. This one would be used mainly for cancer sequencing data preprocessing. Thanks to Nvidia's parabricks accelerated bioinformatics tools, calling single nucleotide polymorphism from raw sequencing data has some great speed reduction.

Still gonna have to turn off the RGB before get it inside the workstation chassis. These Ampere GPU are computation monsters for bioinformatics applications.

Finally someone who uses the computational power of Ampere for something other than getting rich with no work!

The Thermalright SS135 arrived today. In person, it really is a scaled-up spiritual successor to the NH-D9L. Oh the things I do just to be able to use a windowed side panel

Preliminary observations are that the push-pull iPPC NH-C14S is superior by about 1-1.5C in all-core, really speaks to the C14S' prowess. But the two A14-2000s on the C14S are obviously exponentially louder. So it seems reasonable so far, for a cooler that is 23mm shorter than the NH-U12S but performs the same.

The Vengeance RAM cooler is meh, 1.51V 3800 14-15-15 is still fine with the fan @ 70%, but it isn't quite as good as raw 140mm airflow from the C14S, so the RAM runs about 2C hotter and peaks at 47C in TM5 which is still apparently okay. In my experience 50C has always been the B-die magic mark, others say 40 or 45 but I guess 140ns tRFC isn't tight enough that the threshold starts moving down.

Thinking of seeing if I can push-pull with 2 x NF-F12-2000, but the 120-but-not-120 fan clips are a bit strange, not sure if they'll work.

It's a fan that moves air.

Lots and lots of air.

Very very loudly.

And sucks 1.3 amps.

Any ideas on what I should do with it?
