  1. Yeah it does require soldering, but it's pretty quick and easy to solder a new cable on DT770's, if mine will break I will add an XLR jack on mine for the convenience of removable cable.
  2. Updated the whole spreadsheet to the new standard, there are a few issues with color recommendations on few drives, but I think I've fixed the main sheet's errors where there were a few, also updated the list with like 40 new drives(hadn't updated for a few months).
  3. What broke on them the cable? it's pretty easy to replace it.
  4. In the published version, it doesn't seem to be frozen, but it's frozen in Gsheets
  5. Anyways if people will like the new improved style better that's where this is going to.
  6. Most of the data can be found in manufacturer spec sheets and reviews+there are other people that make such spec sheets, mine is different from other existing ones with that that it makes recommendations and set's performance tiers, others usually simply throw them in simple categories don't actually analyze the data in a way that everybody can understand it.
  7. I'm working on a better UIX in the sheet and as you can see in the main sheet I've changed it dramatically, while other sheets still use the old system, waiting on feedback for that from as many people before I decide how to continue.
  8. God no, don't use the calculator, it's bad. The calculator doesn't calculate anything it's simply a bunch of stolen profiles... I recommend spending a day or two on tweaking, 1)put timings ridiculously high like 20-20-20-20-42-64 and find the highest frequency that works, with this setup I'd probably stop at 3800 and then tweak the timings and test stability, change 1-2 timings between runs that way you will know what works and what doesn't, I should add a reminder that there are formulas for many timings and you should visit DDR4 OCing guide from integral, I find that it's the most complete and reliable guide and comes from somebody who actually knows what's what: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md
  9. They don't do it with SSDs, and chips on RAM are determined by what's available for the most reasonable price, so you can have any chips on any series unless manufacturer specifies what they use...
  10. You're right document was shared and not published, I tried to embed the documents unique ID, but for me firefox is still blocking it, no idea why
  11. both options are great, I own the SX8200 PRO 1TB, runs cool and is quite fast. Generally most heatsinks that come with SSDs are enough, but if you're searching for 3rd party look at copper heatsinks with large surface area
  12. Welp, this is what I have: ASUS Xonar DGX sound card for my PC Headphones Beyerdynamics DT770 PRO 32 Ohm as my daily drive on PC IEMs QKZ DM200 Headphones in the combination with my sound card work very nicely and they sound pretty well. IEMs they were 45eur IEMs on ali that was sold for 5eur because the company changed the name(to KZ) and wanted to get rid of old stock, for the 5eur I paid for them, they sound really well, I'd even compare them to some of the best under 100eur like the Sony MH775, the only issue I have with them is the mic, it's incorrectly attached and puts because of that you can't use them while in call as the other party will hear themselves... I also have the 1more triple drivers that sound a bit better, but my main issue with them is cable quality which I had to solder myself after it broke off and well if I will decide to change the cable completely they will become my daily drivers, but it's pretty hard to do it on them.
  13. I bought an ADATA XPG Z1 16GBx1 and a while later bought another one of those with the same spec, what I ended up is with MFR and B die in my PC that doesn't clock past 2933CL14 with my first-gen Ryzen 1600. If you're willing to take the gamble you should have no issues with it, otherwise, trade-in your current RAM and buy a new kit.
  14. So, for ease of use you can switch to 4x PCIe sheet and sort by speed or NAND type, for caching drives you will always want to have DRAM and probably a heat-sink. Also as you're using those 660p's their lifespan will be pretty short because of the QLC NAND used. As a side note you can try out the gen 4 SSDs if you can get a PCIe riser board that supports it, otherwise I'd try going for some of the top tier SSDs from ADATA(best value) or Samsung(best warrantied lifespan), generally either Samsung or Micron TLC NAND with 4x interface and DRAM and preferably one of the top tier controllers.
  15. I tried, but to me it shows like this
  16. Yea, we know for a while that it's launching this year, I was invited to JEDECs DDR5 event, but couldn't afford to get there. Anyways AMD will be the first one to utilize it and atm looks like for consumers it will launch with AM5 platform late 2021 or early 2022, so there will be 1-2 generations of CPUs until it launches, for enterprise it will come this year from what I can gather, but I'm not sure what will be able to run it, maybe next gen of EPYC.
  17. Surprised the E.U. hasn't hit Google with a lawsuit yet.They hit microsoft with 1 for having Internet Explorer as the default browser and not offering a ver.of windows without it.Isn't Google doing the same type of thing? You could argue that, not sure why it has not been bought up yet within the EU, but I would imagine that if they carry on the practice (and can be proven) there would be some form of hearing. I kinda think microsoft got singled out, after all, haven't seen them chasing apple. "And Apple's iOS (mobile operating system) is an acknowledged disaster for Mozilla. Safari is the default and, while users can install other browsers, they come doubly hindered: they can never be set as the default, meaning any link clicked in other applications will open in Safari; and they must use Safari's rendering engine�, a technical limitation that means that even the browsers that Firefox does have on the platform are technically just fancy wrappers for Apple's own browser, rather than full versions of the service that Mozilla has built over the decades." There are no alternatives to safari on apple, everything that is not safari is reskin of it
  18. Surprised the E.U. hasn't hit Google with a lawsuit yet.They hit microsoft with 1 for having Internet Explorer as the default browser and not offering a ver.of windows without it.Isn't Google doing the same type of thing? EU is hitting google with lawsuit's every other year and EU hasn't woken up yet about what google is doing
  19. Tbh vivaldi has been chromium based and I dislike the trend in the industry, so I keep supporting the alternatives to google, remember that we need concurrence for innovation.
  20. It's basically a lower power version of 5700 from what I can gather, also it should clock pretty high as well, so expect people to BIOS flash it and to use power play tables as well.

    If they were to copy the years of Intel's crazy margins, you are not wrong ! Intel really did show themselves up recently and I am just talking about their margins and ripping off consumers off but also resting firmly on their laurels. Intel's top of the line CPU that is a lot weaker in dual socket configuration costs 20k USD, with a price of 8k USD they would still beat the heck out of Intel on value

    I mean they easily could had put 8k USD price tag on it, everybody who needs it would still buy it, it simply annihilates the competition.
