    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Exactly what the Red ecosystem is for PC editing and video production and with Nikon acquiring Red they should open up rental market lowering cost. Cannon has the rental market for DSLR lenses.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Nice discussions here but until content is readily available, it is a no sell for me. As screens get larger the PPI drops and can look low res depending on size. Quality pixels over quantity factor, for example a 100K Christie 4K cinema projector is amazing just go to your local theater, no...

    ugh... noisy audio, do I need usb isolator or ac ground loop isolator or ???

    1. Any run of cable acts like an antenna, why pros use common noise reduction or XLR jacks. RCA plugs can be a noise machine especially with cheap cables. 2. You get what you pay for, my 200 USD Logitech PC 2.1 setup has a hum issue, my 1000 USD SVS sub does not. 3. Ground loops can be...

    NVIDIA RTX 50 “GB202” Gaming GPU reportedly features the same TSMC 4NP process as B100

    Not sure why folks are excited about the 512 memory bus, my 390X had it in 2015. The Fury X had 1 Tb/s HBM and it was a failure at 4K.

    What is wrong with B&W speakers?

    They tend to be revealing and with a flat freq. response they tend to be rock music unfriendly. See my post on high end audio. The Nautilus line is amazing but out of the budget. B&W bookshelf spkrs will not drive this at ref levels though, this sonic destruction of a Bluthner grand is why...

    Event 55, Kernel-Processor-Power Errors?

    If the PSU swap did not work I would swap the Cablemod set for the stock PSU cables, I had intermittent error 41 code reboots that were due to my Cablemod connector pins not making good contact within the connectors. If I touched the wiring harness it would reboot...

    Many full copper radiators aren't full copper- Igor's Lab

    Why I am not concerned with Pb contamination. I characterized a brass Swagelok compression fitting that was factory cleaned by ultrasound and solvent wash. Traces of leaded cutting lubricant is still present on fitting. The ratio of leaded area to bulk brass is very small. It is impossible...

    Many full copper radiators aren't full copper- Igor's Lab

    1. i am more concerned with false advertising than Pb poisoning. 2. Dissimilar metals are a no no. 3. Be careful with antifreeze in your loop, I was a head Research Chemist for a govt fuel cell contract and they plumbed a lab scale industrial cooling system with the wrong PVC materials...

    Is My PSU The Problem?

    Before you start swapping parts try wiggling your PSU to GPU cables and see if it reboots PC. I had this issue with faulty aftermarket cables.

    1. Diff tech different pros and cons, plus I would not compare unless both sets are pro calibrated in your living space. 2. This is what the married man calls the WAF or wife acceptance factor. Had same issue when I brought home the SVS subwoofer(18 Hz @110 dB) and other items ( 77 inch OLED...

    Samsung - 77” Class S89C OLED 4K $1799.99 @ Best Buy

    FYI wiki derived note: The OLED material used to produce blue light degrades much more rapidly than the materials used to produce other colors; in other words, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This variation in the differential color output will change the...

    I use YT app on Xbox but in the tv advanced setup you must select input plus option. For HDR to work from external devices, Input Signal Plus usually has to be enabled from the External Device Manager menu for the input you are using. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/s89c-oled/settings

    An issue with my stereo amp emitting a choppy noise - any ideas of its cause?

    Here are the links to our company's SDR applications, YT censored out the FM audio on the AC/DC playing! Feels free to listen in. Noise is very complicated to isolate out. https://youtu.be/0SJn1euQZk4?si=CJzpmmrCvXqMsXZg https://youtu.be/qknxVPE8RMQ?si=fCYk60j7G9aKlEpN...

    AIO with best software ?

    NZXT CAM is nice except for the telemetry home BS and internet connection req BS. Would like standalone option. Very few crashes and does not require install if you choose not to, like the mini bar display.

    Opinions as to if I need more fans

    1. Only as good as ambient temperature. 2. Fans can get expensive maybe look at AIO instead. My 2 ML 140mm cost about 70 USD. 3. Unless your rig is throttling too much "measurabrating" on temps, just enjoy the 390.
