    5800x temps?

    Andrew replied to 98uk's topic in CPU's

    They're fine up to 95c. I have a 212 Evo on mine and the highest I've seen is 85c in prime95 with 19c ambient. In gaming, the highest I've seen is 73c (Flight Sim 2020)

    I actually agree with this law. What's currently happening, is Google is showing bulk of the articles on the Google search. When they do this, the places hosting the information aren't getting paid for it. Searching for "covid 19" is a great example of this. None of this is from Google as stated by the sources at the bottom. Google is just displaying info from this websites, without paying them. This is effectively piracy. Realistically, after seeing that, how many do you really think click on the source links? A proper solution to this is to either pay the hosts what they would have got if someone clicked on the link or just remove this information so you have to click on the links in order to see the information. The problem with this law is the amount of money the news outlets in Australia want for this type of data to be shown on Google. They want obscene amounts of money that's way more than they would have got if people clicked went on it.

    The 1080Ti is by no means a bad GPU, it's still more than capable for 4K as well as VR. The only thing it's really lacking is real time ray tracing at a decent frame rate.

    Temporarily abandoned. I don't have anywhere warm to work on it, plus I the rear seat backrest has a bolt that's stuck, it turns but it doesn't come out so I need to pry it out somehow. I've also been busy basically all of summer. I did get some wheels for it so I have a better tyre choice, but they don't fit over the brakes without spacers and with spacers, they stick out an illegal amount so I have to get rid of those wheels now. I think I'll just stick to stock.

    Computers to cars seems to be the natural progression. Although I went from cars to computers back to cars. I wouldn't even know what hardware I'd have if it weren't for my sigrig. Nice, I thought those came with an LSD stock?

    Couple of weeks ago. I got it under retail price as well.

    I have one.

    You should have a look at Ace Combat, it's MGS but with fighter jets.

    My flight sim is broken now. Didn't get a chance to try it out in VR. Official planes aren't listed to be used and my game crashes when I try to select an airport to take off using one of the mod planes I have installed. I verified game cache and that just made me redownload the entire game again, same problem so I uninstalled it because it was taking up 108GB. I have the Valve Index by the way. It's the only VR I have experience with.

    Apparently the VR update released last month, I'm about to try it out.

    You did in the posts I am replying to. 2020, Amazon had $280.5 billion revenue. 2020, Microsoft had $143 billion revenue. 2020, Apple had $274.5 billion revenue. Claiming something like Apple has a $2.2T market cap due to them being a desirable brand and not because they're "not doing as much business as Amazon or Microsoft" is wilful ignorance in this day and age. Especially when it comes to publicly trading companies. It's okay to admit that you are wrong about something. In fact, it's actually better to just admit you're wrong about something that just moving the goal posts for "what you actually meant" in order to say you are right.

    $3.6 billion as of 1st of Jan 2020, or $9,863,013 per day. That's just from apps. Doesn't include any hardware sales. Their revenue for 2020 was $274.5 billion, or $752,054,794 per day.

    You are aware that most of the money Apple makes comes from the app store? Apple do as much business as Microsoft and Amazon, they just don't do it the same way.

    How many of them are owned business machines owned by companies? I can't imagine there are too many home users that are still on Windows 7. The ones that are left will be the ones who just don't care/know there's a newer version of Windows or just people who refuse to upgrade because ?

    Beyerdynamic DT990s are currently £96 on Amazon, 770s (the same thing but closed back) are £109. Sony MDR-7506/1 are excellent value for money as well, those are currently £81. In that price range as far as Sennheisers go, there's only really the HD280 Pros at about £110 or so.

    The problem with mid-range, is mid-range is completely different for different people. What sort of budget are you going for?

    It's a 5800x, I also bought 16GB more RAM.
  24. Andrew
    If that were the case, then it would be done. Long term, the machines are much cheaper than paying wages.

    I don't know why the focus is always on Apple when it comes to these things. Pegatron is also the supplier to Asus, Asrock, Sony, Microsoft, LG, and quite a few others. Wistron is the supplier to Acer, Microsoft, and quite a few others. It's very rare for a factory like these to only be the supplier to one brand. Every single tech company is responsible for this. Every single tech company knows this is going on, but Apple is the only one to suspend their contracts with the suppliers.
