    $80 laptop anyone? Evolve III Maestro E-Book 11.6" Laptop Computer - Dark Grey

    Hey, I'll also necro this thread and say if you aren't using this thing, please disconnect the battery! Mine ballooned very badly while not being used. I tossed the entire battery but cut off the connectors just in case. It still runs fine on USB power.

    Phase Change Material (PCM)

    Huh, haven't had that experience on my Steam Deck and 5950x. Sorry about that! I never intend to recommend bad stuff.

    Phase Change Material (PCM)

    I'm running this on my 5950x and love it. I plan to use it on my GPU next time I do maintenance. I got it from ModDIY and also got some from amazon to compare. as far as I can tell the $40 piece performs the same as the $16 piece. I'm going to be putting this on everything from now on. Its just...

    I believe there is an option for battery storage mode as well if you plan to store it for an extended time.

    Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid: Sick of transcoding and maintaining content libraries and streaming services?

    First, I found this at https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/v6vwkf/installing_stremino_torrentio_real_debird/ The hardest part of this guide was authenticating with Amazon payments for the $17 cost of 180 days service of Real Debrid. The idea here is that you find your content by...

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    You're absolutely right but many people forget this had a feature to allow switching between a static overclock and PBO settings based on socket power draw and it was pretty nice. At the time no other boards allowed that on Zen2.

    SETI.Germany's 14th Annual Pentathlon (2023)

    I have 128gb of ram on my 3950x system, should I run ECM P2 exclusively to help eat them up? I also have a 5800X3D with 32 GB of ram. Should I be looking for a specific workload during this time to best leverage my hardware?

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    I've never seen my water temp over 32C and I have a 1080ti, 3090, 3950x, and 5800x3D on the same loop. Typical system idle water temp is 23C and the room holds at 22C. Good luck managing those temps NES!

    What are you playing on your deck?

    I'm going to sound like an ancient old man but I like the fact brotato has rounds. When I sit down for Vampire Survivors I know I'll be playing in 30 minutes blocks. Not that I can't pause, but I probably won't. Brotato gives you a bunch of natural breaks so I can get a round in on a work break...

    Anyone get their Steam Deck ordered?

    I've got a pi4b 8gb watercooled and that's not even close. My Lattepanda 3 Delta isn't close and that's x86. I'll take the bait. What are the better alternatives to a portable gaming desktop at this price with actual consumer support? Because it really sounds like you want a desktop replacement...

    [DEAD] Apex Race Parts SM-10 Wheels - Buy 3, Get 1 Free (Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Tesla, Lexus)

    Grats! When you get them make sure to remove any stickers on the tire mounting surfaces. I had to get one tire re-mounted because a QR code sticker was literally on the bead surface and Costco didn't check.

    I pre-ordered these SM-10s a couple years ago and installed them this past season for the first time. Went from stock 19s to 17s. I absolutely love the setup.

    5800x3d ram speed?

    Sorry for being vague. In the Asus bios I set my memory speed to manual and FCLK to match the memory. My memory is Samsung B-Die so it takes 1.5v but you can really dial in timings. I haven't bothered with this since I'm not really getting great performance from it anyway.

    See my screenshot for 1:1 1900/3800. This has nothing to do with the processor being locked.

    I use 32GB of this B-Die stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Viper-Steel-4400MHz-Performance-Memory/dp/B07KXLFDL6 I'm not claiming these to be amazing timings but I've basically just plugged in some random numbers around the auto settings and run 1900/3800 with zero issues. I bought 64GB of these...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    EXACTLY! I have over/under ultra wide 34" displays and it really sucks to use the top one. This is the solution I need. I could never recreate the beautiful oak work but I certainly can jankily cobble together some old used junk.

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    No one is talking about this desk. I love it! I currently have a solid core wood door on an Upliftdesk frame but none of the cool stuff going on under and definitely nothing like the keyboard surface on it's own lift. I'd love to know more.

    Nreal Air AR glasses

    I have the Redmagic, can confirm. I modded mine. I cut too far and almost damaged it but everything is ok now that I glued it back on. Next task is to make the cable shorter. Or if you prefer to be wrong.

    Nreal Air AR glasses

    DP-Alt mode over usb-c is required. Make sure the card has that. Buy it from some place with a good return policy. I don't see a mention of DP-alt mode. Doesn't mean it won't work :)

    Nreal Air AR glasses

    The glasses I ordered didn't come with anything like that. The Siig adapter is what generates the DP-alt mode signal for the glasses from the video signal provided by whatever HDMI source. It's the exact one I linked above. 2.0b or something. I just wanted a 10ft M to F cable. HDMI is more...

    Nreal Air AR glasses

    I've used them on my desktop with my 3090. I use this cable out of the only HDMI port on the FTW3 Ultra and plug in that Siig adapter. It still needs USB power so I run a cable from the front of my UPS which is right near by. This results in another display in the Windows "Display Settings" menu...

    Nreal Air AR glasses

    Quality is the same as over USB-C. USB-C operation requires DP-alt mode and will not work without it. Most DIY PC motherboards don't have it. Many laptops do. Phones are a mixed bag.
