oh shit, I'm an idiot! I didnt even think to look at the YU4 IO connections, I figured it'd be the same as the YU2, which does have a USB connection to the PC. Good thing my mobo does have a SPDIF port I normally hyper-analyze SKU specs before making a hardware purchase. duno why I jumped in...

i came reeeeeeally close to getting a CX-48 or C1-48 for my PC gaming/workstation. problem is, it's just too damn big for use at my desk, at 43" wide and 25" tall. whether on its own stand or desk mounted, my approximate viewing distance from the screen is 30-36". I might gain about 3-5 inches...

well, here I am just a few weeks into the Kanto YU2s, and the right (non powered) speaker has started to crackle and buzz at low frequencies. I haven't pumped the volume, haven't blasted any bass, haven't changed the equalizer tuning for about 3 weeks. returning it to amazon, going back for...

bummed... I've finally got a box that can play games enjoyably and somehow I missed picking this up on summer sale... considering a full price buy on this, tho that seems silly with total war: Warhammer 3 on the horizon

you're right! I read into it more and it's pretty damn cool, actually. Sorry to dismiss your suggestion so quickly... do its rumble haptics compare to Xbox/PS5 controllers? I cant imagine that they can fit as big a counterweight in that controller, and the XBox/PS5 ones have been fine-tuned for...

that's a tough call, depending on your use case and plans for integrating pc/console gaming, desired resolutions, etc. I've been out of the large-footprint home theater game for a long time, and move onto soundbars and satellites, not requiring the receiver to do any pass through image...

new AVR and you're good. hook the TV up to it via the HDMI ARC channel and you should be golden. you'll want a newer AVR than that one anyway for QOL stuff like wifi, Bluetooth and app integration.

looks cool, and I do love the Nintendo aesthetic, but I think I'd prefer to stick with a controller that the games I'm looking to play are specifically designed to be played on. i don't own a switch, and as PC focused as I've been, the Xbox and PS console ergos are more familiar to me.

you're right, I referenced an article with some age on it. however, everything I've read on 5000 series says the same. 4000/2000 is possible on 5000 series, but it's unstable and a crapshoot if you can maintain it...

yeah, I saw a couple of minor differences in the first example, and fewer and fewer as the clip went on. definitely difficult to distinguish at max rez on a large monitor.

in other news... I'm wanting to buy a controller for my PC (insert obligatory cringe). I've always been a KBM guy, but I haven't played my PS4 in the better part of a year and I want to enjoy some games on PC that I think may just play better with a controller... like RDR2, Yakuza series, Ghost...

thanks, Mal. I actually read some bullshit article that recommended these cables. likely from some copy/paste editor with garbage info, as has become too common in PC hardware and component review sites. serves me right. I got Amazon to let me return the cable, even though I ordered it on May...

unless I'm misunderstanding your post (and thats a high possibility as I'm essentially an idiot), I've read many times over that it's very unstable to use RAM clocks above 3600mhz bc of the 2:1 RAM:infinity fabric ratio. I see lots of posts saying that it wants to be 3600/1800, or 3800/1900 max...

just seems strange that the cable I used to build the system about 1 month ago has already gone bad. is that even a thing? the cable was brand new, bought it in May. no crazy bends, no broken connectors.

updated in Desktop Computers thread. swapping the DP cable worked, though I don't understand why since the cable I removed is the same one I set up the system with, and it had been cable managed and everything.. never uninstalled. can DP cables just go bad? it's not bent funky or anything...

ok, just to eliminate the obvious, I swapped out the DP 1.4 cable, and I'm mostly back to normal frequency options. really strange, because I was using the same DP cable since I first built the computer, and it was running at 144hz originally, so I have no idea why it would not be doing so now...

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/38wn95c-w The LG 38WN95C-W has an outstanding refresh rate. It has native FreeSync support, and it's certified by NVIDIA to be G-SYNC compatible too. You can achieve the 144Hz refresh rate and get G-SYNC support only over a DisplayPort connection. Over...

yeah, I have another 144hz monitor to test, it's just stored inconveniently so I haven't pulled it out yet. it has a flicker in the backlight, but it should still run at the correct frequency. as for a HDMI 2.1, yes it does, but I haven't tried it bc GSync Compatibility doesn't work via HDMI on...

card is rtx 3080, cable is 1.4 DP aftermarket cable. same one I used to build the system a month ago, and I ran at 120hz no prob back then. this monitor had no probs running at 144 previously, and is rated to do so with DP 1.4 https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/38wn95c-w

yeah, geforce drivers are up to date. i cant choose anything other than 60/75 in the Nvidia control panel, same as in the windows display control panel. I've checked the monitor OSD, and disabling/enabling freesync doesnt change the available refresh rates, and I cant find any other settings...

ok, I'm genuinely confused here... I noticed that my frames seemed rather low, so I checked my monitor settings and found that windows has locked me to 60/75hz on my brand new 120/144hz 38" LG. I'm using the same DP 1.4 cable that I initially set the system up with, and it worked at 120/144hz...

this thread seems to describe a similar situation, no solution provided tho: 144hz won't go beyond 75 hz.

heh, you're not wrong. EQ was an amazing gaming and online social experience at a pivotal time in my life. Lots of great memories, and I still love PC gaming and miss my MMO poopsock days fondly. classic and the first few live expansions of the game are a blink in these TLPs, but they felt like...

hah! Thogg is an old RL and gaming buddy of mine, going back years before EQ when I think we met while playing Warcraft 2 Battle.net clan matches. we came into beta together with our gaming clan, Dark Covenant, and were guilded together for beta and Classic, maybe a bit of Kunark too, but he...

you're doin god's work. I just changed out the stock wheels on my aeron for these and it feels like I'm ice skating... in a good way ;) also nice to be up a bit higher in the chair, as I find I always max out the chair height and still feel like I'm low

if you play in a supported resolution smaller than your native one, you'll just end up with black bars in the unused space. you could also play in windowed mode, potentially the 38" ultrawide is 3840 by 1600, and while a lot of games support it, it's not too uncommon to get stretched or...

I hear ya. I was dual monitoring when i had my 27" 2k, and I miss it now that I've only got 1 main monitor setup. I do find myself alt tabbing and it sucks. I have my laptop next to me 99% of the time, which works well enough, but it would be better to be on the same system for sure. the 38" is...

I started as an ogre warrior in beta 2, and played live through velious and shortly after the luclin launch, but not since. i think I started on Tunare, then Povar, then finally landed on Drinal, if I remember correctly. I have never actually played anything other race/class combo. I've botted...

those new UNI AL fans are sweeeeet. I definitely like the look of their RGB better than the SL. too bad I just installed 9 SLs into my box so recently, or I'd be tempted to get em! However, I still don't know if there's any solution to my mobo seeing the UNI fan USB controller as an ejectable...

both good monitors, and that ASUS VA panel will get darker, but it also wont quite get as bright as the LG IPS panel. also, that 1500R curve on the 34" ASUS monitor is rather aggressive and would be pretty obnoxious to me. especially If you're not sure that you'll like a curved monitor, you'll...

RIP. really sad, frustrating, and pretty shitty that our relatively small community would potentially cannibalize itself over some petty ego shit. not unrealistic, just frustrating and disappointing for those of us looking for a continuation of our small community. though I responded to...

well, shit. this sucks. we always joke about wanting EQ drama, but this is not the kind we want. If it really was someone on this forum, shame on you for fucking with our fun. No, we are not.

so, absolutely no sleight intended, but how is it that the official Elder Dragons forums and these here have been so quiet about this project? was this all done without any publicity until this post? I'm really interested, signed up, DL'd and ready to log into EQ for the first time in like 15...

breh I got the scarface white edition because I keep this shit cleeeean

why so? it's got plenty bottom/front/back clearance for flow. the backside of the case could have more breathing room, but there's just no space for it on the desk tho. you'd think with 8+ feet of space that i'd have room for a "mini" tower. i guess I could put it up on the rolling rack I'm...

if you use a ton of SATA connections and plan multiple m2 drives and pci cards, or if you need a lot of specific IO ports etc, you want to do your research to make sure your board will support your use. otherwise, you should be fine with a good midrange board. don't need to go too deep down the...

@Brahma the Mobo you should get is the one that suits your use. Each board has slightly different perks.. VRM, onboard IO, etc. B550 is actually newer than X570, if I recall correctly X570 is generally more expensive than B550, as I believe B550 was intended to be a leaner version with most of...

I would have bought an Ikea Karlby 98" tabletop long ago had they not been out of stock and unshippable during all of last year. my concerns with the Karlby were the low density with a big heavy monitor and a relatively small mounting bracket, or that it might bow over time as my previous IKEA...

ROFL @ poor people side. the desk is a relatively new build as well... I bought a 8' solid walnut butcherblock from Home Depot and applied a bunch of matte varathane coats to it, and expanded the desk to a double seater. my wife insisted that my setup was too big and bulky right next to the...
