That shit is sick. I don't know if I love it but I definitely like it a lot. It's ridiculous. Why the hell did they make it? It just scares me a little with its overall level of... integrated-ness. That's either the simplest thing ever to deal with or a nightmare, risen from a place of random minutia on one fateful day. Change is scary like that. I feel like they are proposing me the custom PC equivalent of a one world government plan with that thing.

Oh, I don't doubt it! I'm not saying it's not quality. More like, totally daft, in a good way. They're playing around with how people conceptualize water builds, which you kinda gotta respect in a market where you have several manufactures with similar ranges of ultimately similar products.

Not for me but I needed a keyboard for photo editing build. Found a Drop Entr on Amazon Warehouse for $30, I feel like a committed a minor felony.

Well that was a bloody task, but seemingly worth it as even idle temps are much better. I have put the drain in one of the ports under the rad so it is at the lowest point in the loop. I have NO idea how accurate the flow meter is.

People complain about how the pandemic+shortage marked up all HOTAS, but you'll be just fine if you go for real gear and not "brand-name" trash. Meaning don't get a cliche, hideously overpriced and underbult Thrustmaster Warthog or Logitech X56 setups.

VKB basically took over the entire low-end to mid-range market with the Gladiator NXT. It's not perfect but it's damn close. Below the ultra high-end (Virpil and VKB Gunfighter), it's really simple I think these days: T16000M ~$80, or Gladiator NXT $120/$150. Pair either with the TWCS throttle and it's the go-to affordable solution. Still waiting on the VKB TECS throttle so midrange is kinda empty right now, but Winwing does exist.

I tried a Logitech (formerly Saitek) X56 for a day, intending only to keep the throttle. It's a revised matte-black design now, but still just as garbage as the Saitek used to be. Ghosting inputs every few seconds, tried every USB port available to me, no bueno. Build quality was terrible - switches were fine but the throttle moved like inconsistent molasses.
The T16000M gets 1 up vote from me. Buy the set stick/throttle/pedals on sale and be happy. Or just buy them individually.

Can this use Gsync on HDMI?
RTINGS said the following:
G-SYNC only works over DisplayPort, but FreeSync works over HDMI as well.
since this is not a "G-Sync" Monitor i guess Freesync works with Nvidia only over DP and with AMD GPUs over HDMI and DP.

Bummer. I read somewhere that on some Freesync monitors Gsync can be turned while on HDMI. It might be those HDMI 2.1 models. That's another thing. If HDMI 2.1 has VRR by default do you really need Freesync/Gsync turned on?

afaik VRR can use things like Dolby Vision while Freesync is not able to do that.

if it works you only need VRR. if VRR does not work you switch to freesync.

I've had a new mobo hanging around for a while, mainly for testing purposes, so I decided to build a new machine to sit alongside the TV when Netflix isn't quite enough.
This nice minimalist case is coming tomorrow and a WD Blue NVMe later today. I'll also film the build for my brother because he's changing his mobo and CPU, and he's never done it before. Can't really do that over the phone 8000 miles away.

That's a Darkflash DLM22 and a Ryzen 5600G.

16GB might be overkill for TV and video, so I may just use the 1x8GB.

I ordered several items from Aquatuning and decided to eat-up the shipping cost as there's no where else I can get these. I bought a few things from Aquacomputer and it shipped from Germany as well and it got to me in 4 days. I even got things from EK for 4 days upon them sending it out. I thought they were going to do DHL premium shipping with the cost they are asking but they didn't - It went out with DHL Parcel. It's been stuck in Frankfurt for quite a few days and both DHL and Aquatuning refused to help.

It's been stuck in Frankfurt for quite a few days and both DHL and Aquatuning refused to help.

I very nearly bought my initial wave of parts from Aquatuning since the prices and availability looked good. Then I looked online and saw the 3-star rating, all the horror stories reviews and very quickly migrated my cart contents to PPCS. Aside from them sending me the wrong rad (which was all made good as they told me to keep it and immediately sent out the right one), PPCS has lived up to their reputation. Fast UPS Saver not too expensive either with them (2-3 business days I think).

I did get some stuff from EK but they're terrible at keeping track of stock, they took their sweet time shipping things out and I'm pretty sure they used the slowest DHL service and still charged Fedex money. So now I just get stuff from Daz (no customs, I can use CP Xpresspost to get to me in 3 business days or so, and it's also Daz), or PPCS if I can't find them anywhere else.

Daz is definitely the place to go if you're in Canada.

Well I don't want to tell you that Groovesland (German retailer) offers free shipping worldwide for $30 Euros. You will know for next time though.

Pro tip: using CRU to increase (not decrease) the minimum freesync number can be a HUGE help on nvidia cards
Mines 48-165 and has serious brightness flicker with Gsync on, as did my previous 48-144 (they are NOT officially compatible)

Edit them to 72-144/72-165 and suddenly, totally flicker free

Freesync premium pro has frame doubling (and triple/quadruple at times) so that makes 71FPS become 142Hz, 30FPS becomes 120, and so on.
It's freakin awesome, and really reduces input latencies

i don't use any freesync with monitors above 144Hz tbh.
at 280Hz there is basically no tearing (or you have to lean towards the screen, turn very slowly and look for it) and i can keep my overdrive at 80/100 with basically a motionblur free image.

is CRU that custom resolution tool where people made a CRT Monitor able to use Freesync? :D

Software Windows 11 64bit
Have fun watching Disney plus+ with that 4K Boba fett. Good choice on the board too B450 is all you need!!! I have a 5600G and an absolutely loving it using as a HTPC I have 1 1TB 660P with mine and it actually loads Windows 11 in 10 seconds.


Well I don't want to tell you that Groovesland (German retailer) offers free shipping worldwide for $30 Euros. You will know for next time though.
I just checked the site and there's a lot there and its hard to filter things out. The problem I have mostly in my country is if I purchase anything above 200 USD - it will be in customs hell and they would want a hefty price once they decided you can get it.

Pro tip: using CRU to increase (not decrease) the minimum freesync number can be a HUGE help on nvidia cards
Mines 48-165 and has serious brightness flicker with Gsync on, as did my previous 48-144 (they are NOT officially compatible)

Edit them to 72-144/72-165 and suddenly, totally flicker free

Freesync premium pro has frame doubling (and triple/quadruple at times) so that makes 71FPS become 142Hz, 30FPS becomes 120, and so on.
It's freakin awesome, and really reduces input latencies
With my previous monitor - this is what I did. It triggers the LFC and doubles/triples the perceived refresh rate. The problem though the smoothness isn't there when you are not within the VRR range.

The flicker I think is mostly plauging the VA panels though. My previous one was a VA panel and it suffers from flickering when Gsync is on and I hit the 48-51 refresh rate even for a split second.

My current panel is IPS and I have never seen it flicker. I was even able to lower the VRR range to 28-144.

i don't use any freesync with monitors above 144Hz tbh.
at 280Hz there is basically no tearing (or you have to lean towards the screen, turn very slowly and look for it) and i can keep my overdrive at 80/100 with basically a motionblur free image.

is CRU that custom resolution tool where people made a CRT Monitor able to use Freesync? :D
the reason i use it is for the frame doubling, it helps
CRU lets you edit the displayport and HDMI settings for the device, so yeah they probably did exactly that

flickering is a VA panel issue, but its good to have a simple fix of tweaking the number
