I just tried ufotest.com and then followed the top guy with my phone camera. I think it looks pretty good. Not so much the lower frame rates, but maybe they're suppose to look like shit?

>trying to buy hdmi cable to hook up to new tv for that silky smooth 55 in 4k 120hz action >reviews on amazon are usually 50% good 50% bad >bad reviews are usually cable doesn't support 4k 120 hz and/or breaks after a few months >everything from the cheap discounted shit to the overpriced high gold plated cables are this 50% good product 50% defective product
this is the shit that makes me sweat bullets, whether or not i'm throwing $10 or $30 down the drain on a possibly shit peripheral/accessory.
Make sure you buy the shortest cable. Does your GPU support HDMI 2.1? 4k 120 fps sits around 30 GBPS TMDS data rate, that's within 2.1 spec. 35 gbps for 10 bit or 42 gbps for 12 bit which is what gpus actually output for RGB

This JAV looks hilarious. Number?

I went through this same shit. Go to a physical store and read the cable box. You can also try monoprice. They're legit for all your cable needs.
Are there any recommendations for passively cooled chipset X570 boards? This little fucker is the second loudest thing in my case after my WD Red b/c it sits right under the GPU and gets up to 3500RPM during gaming. Its for a 5800X3D. Asus has the C8DH for $450, MSI has the X570S ACE MAX for $360, and Gigabyte has the X570S Aorus Master for ~$330. I plan on using this CPU for a while so price isn't a big deal I just can't take it anymore with the noise.
Go Intel? Aren't they really close now? Or does Intel mobo have this too?

MSI MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI is available for only $230

Active cooling for chipsets is a fucking meme

I’m kind of locked in with the chip, I just never pushed the board hard enough when I was using a 3800x and slower RAM for it be be this annoying.
Thank you. Do you know of the build quality is good? I’ll have to check VRM but I’m looking to get a 4080/90/Navi and want something I can pass a lot of juice through. 64 GB RAM, too.
I bought my board in 2020 then a year later everybody had their passive cooling solutions. Fucks did the patch job then actually figured it out later. I pay the price.

der8aur tested it like three years ago, you can cool it with an old school meme chipset cooler thats like three cm tall. its literally because its cheaper to cool 13w with a tiny fan and nothing heatsink than it is to cool with a slightly larger than normal chipset heatsink. AMD did a low power version of the X570 chipset that can use a regular heatsink
this reminds me of 2005 when I tore the noisy fansink (a little Crystal Orb lookalike) off my nForce 2 Socket A board, and stick an old passive Pentium 1 heatsink to it with thermal epoxy.

>Best Gaming: R7 5800X3D Fresh new and unbiased review of proving that /pcbg/ amd shills are stilll lying to people to this day, amd has never beaten intel in gaming yet, except in the niche titles the X3D actually works in, is still not the best, overall, by a long shot
youtu.be/QPLdTZb-bLw disclaimer: remember the 12900k has more cache and is faster than the 12700k tested above, not even the top chip Sad!
