New keyboard build. GMMK 2 96% ANSI (QMK VIA with SignalRGB interrogation) Kailh Box White switches, tape modded PCB, switch and stab pads, Glorious screwin stabs (lubed). I vinyl wrapped the deck, and used a purple gradient keycaps.

Yeah, just a single layer is enough. I actually ended up doing it on all my modifier keys. It cuts a lot of that pinginess you get with cheap stabilizers.

Here is my finished project. RK RK-S87 with Kailh Speed Silver tape modded the PCB, and added painters' tape to the bigger keys. Its thocky and I love it.

These are all really good for your needs. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Performance-Headphone-Integrated-Microphone/dp/B00EZT7RE4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3C2YB6TT2ULEY&keywords=5.1+usb+sound+card&qid=1569554810&s=gateway&sprefix=5.1+usb+%2Caps%2C395&sr=8-4...

I have a Vizio sb3851 sound bar. It has hdmi in and it doesn't sound to bad. It works really well. They are not expensive.

There are better drivers then the ones on Asus's site. http://maxedtech.com/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/ They have some mods that make them better.

They never read the rest of the post. They only read your first post and didn't see that you got new ram, and power supply.

What you want in a case is front panel that is mesh. It will allow air to flow into the front of the pc and help with cooling.

One recommendation is to not use the S340 Elite. Horrible cooling. The front is very closed off and will hinder your intakes. My wife has it and we ended up taking the front off the case. Look for something with a mesh front. Much better for your front intakes. For the price of that case you...

To me is sounds like bluetooth interference. You mentioned that you had a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. That the stuttering is when you move the mouse. Differently try a wired keyboard and mouse and see if that fixes it.

I still think that its better to use PBO2 and XFR2 versus overclocking on Zen+. Kyle even came to that same conclusion.

Man that is a great deal! Super lucky you.

Ya, check if you have it enabled. Its only going to boost as high as you have thermal headroom. If the temps get too high for it it will stop going higher. Also try working on the timings if possible on that ram.

I would leave it be. Have you turned on PBO2 and XFR2? With those on you should get about what you would get with an overclock. Zen+ with those on is better then an overclock usually due to the fact that when its not being used it will clock down and that will save some power and system thermals.

Ya 4 sticks limit the available bandwidth to the memory controller. its always better to buy two sticks of the highest capacity that you can afford. Ryzen loves the higher clocked ram, but also likes lower timings. So its kind of a balancing act. Get the setting right and you should have a...

After reading what you wrote to the rep. I agree that they kind of baited and switched on everybody. I guess it may not have been intentional in that fact they probably wanted to make it as easy as possible for everybody to get the best experience out of the box and the phone app was probably...

Ya that is an issue with Ryzen. Memory is difficult. Newer modules are better at timings and hitting rated speeds.

Juanrga is just wants to start a amd vs intel war. So lets just ignore him. We all know that Intel is faster right now in both ipc and clocks, but it doesn't matter. It cost so much more that it isn't really worth it even if you have the money to pay for it.

Thats the point. The test will show the differences in the CPUs. It completely takes the gpu bottleneck out of the test. They were testing cpus not gpus.

Intel charges more not because it cost more to make but because they could. I promise you they are making plenty of profit off what they are selling. I would guess that AMD's margins are much smaller over all than Intel's. AMD is looking at the long game. They want to show everybody that they...

The issue in all of this is I think the op wanted to know how well Zen\+\2 games not how well a server chip handles AVX512. We are going off on a tangent here. Yes Intel server hardware has higher IPC. We all know this. That is where Intel is king, but Intel losses on performance per dollar...

Yep, sorry I missed read. I thought he got one of those Corsair pc's with the card in it.

There is a lower cost solutions if your are willing to use a converter cable. The Audigy RX. Its supposed to have really good recording capabilities and actually has a hardware DSP. It uses the old Audigy 2 (I think) hardware dsp, but is pcie x1.

Its sounds like Corsair built the machines in China and didn't think about if the NA regions would care if they got HK cards. MSI is right though its not their problem its Corsair's. When you buy a prebuilt system usually the builder is responsible for the warranty of the parts.

My big thing is that I don't buy from third party for the most part on Amazon. Third party sellers can't be trusted. Sold by "Blank" and fulfilled by Amazon is not good either. Amazon doesn't examine the items its bad mojo. That way I know I am at least getting an item that was supplied to...

Amazon has become horrible. Their policies are super anti-customer. I purchased the EVGA DG-85 from there last week because it was on sale for $85 and since it is so big it had to come UPS ground from NJ. I hadn't even received it yet and the price dropped to $65. I talked to them about it and...

I have the Sennheiser GSX 1000 and it is awesome. Positional audio is great too.

My MSI is spotty with ram too. Doesn't like to run my Corsair RGB 32gb of ram (4x8) at 2996. I have to run it at 2800. The Gigabyte board that I have will run it at 2996 all day, but a faulty led strip killed the board.

You might try NZXT's build site. You get the pick to parts you want and then you can choose the motherboard that they offer with the best sound and I believe you can even add a sound card if you like. I used it for my wife's computer. There are a lot of options more so than Alienware.

Well replacing my GPU is not really a choice. I have a 980 but it's not going to work for 4k gaming. It's just stupid that it isn't really the hardware that is causing the problems, but stupid drivers. This is 2018 and we are still having stupid issues with drivers. Nvidia has been building...

Sounds like the problem I was having. Nvidia driver plus the fall update are causing huge DPC latency. My sound would crackle and pop, videos would slow to a crawl and no games would be playable. I would restart and things would be good for a few hours, but then it would start to happen again. I...

I am so lucky. My wife is as big a gamer as I am and she uses a blue switch keyboard. We are in the same room too! I switched to a Logitech G810 and I love it. I wasn't sure that I would like the switches but they grow on you and they feel more substantial than most other switches. I really do...

Logitech G810 keyboard and G203 mouse

Why not get a silent red or brown switch mechanical?

Well, I hated not being able too build my wife's new pc, but she did get a 1080 at msrp. So I can't be to upset, and I am sure that the new build will be well built.

I don't think so. WIth more and more people holding off on making part purchases because they can't afford a video card. More manufacturers are going to start putting major pressure on Nvidia and AMD to fix things. I think it going to happen soon than later. When motherboards, cases and stuff...

They could lock the bios and drivers so that mining is not an option with the gaming card. They can make it clear that you can't use these cards for mining and that they are for gaming only. I think it's time that they start making separate skus for each class of card. One mining sku, one gaming...

I have a white G203 and love it. Its the right size for my small hands and love that it has the led strip around the bottom middle of the body. I don't mind the scroll wheel, and love the buttons. The dpi is settings are great. When I first got it it only went to 6000 then Logitech update the...

B6 will have a little more bass because of the bigger mid-range driver, look at the s10 for the sub or the s10eq, but it is 200 more than the s10.

If optical out is what you need get something cheap. That way you can save and research for something better. Optical out is really just a passthrough for the most part. It just takes the sound and passes it out as an optical signal. Almost every sound card will sound about the same through the...
