notmaroun commented on AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU + MSI X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI AM4 Motherboard $900 Delivered @ Shopping Express Clearance eBay
Not a good deal, especially if you don't need the extra PCI-E slots that X570 offers. Just buy the CPU on its own and get a cheap B550…
notmaroun replied to jasswolf on [eBay Plus] Xiaomi Mi Curved 34" 144hz WQHD 21:9 FreeSync Gaming Monitor 1440p Display $495.20 Delivered @ Gearbite eBay
Looking at rting's measurements, it seems that the Xiaomi is the faster panel.

There's nothing AMD-specific. It's just the same as it's ever been. Shove CPU into the CPU slot, shove RAM into the RAM slots, boot up,…

This might have been true for Zen 1 or Zen+, but running at 3000MT/s was pretty much pain free for Zen 1, and almost all kits at 3200 will…

What CPU and what RAM? If you want to get it sorted PM me because tuning/OC-ing RAM is something I do a lot.

Your complaints don't really apply to the standard B450 buyer because: 1. B450 released dirt cheap, and **at its price range, you are…
Mate I sent you to three sets of measurements which objectively demonstrate that: 1. The Ananda/XX/XS Platform are high sensitivity, which…
Again, I'd really like to know where your objective evidence is coming from. An amp's job isn't to alter a sound signature. So long as the…
The XS' measurements show them lacking in sub-bass. The Ananda's, which seem to be built similarly, have fairly high sensitivity and a flat…

notmaroun commented on [Pre Order] EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Black Gaming 24GB GDDR6X $3289 Delivered @ PLE
In what universe are these actually bargains? You can buy and OC a 3090 to obtain similar performance, or just buy a 6900XT/3080 which gets…
notmaroun replied to Jamesozbargain on Intel Core i5-12600KF CPU + MSI MAG B660M MORTAR Wi-Fi DDR4 Motherboard Bundle $539.10 Delivered + Surcharge @ Shopping Express
If you're gaming at 1440p, note that you'll almost certainly be GPU limited all the way down to a 3600/10400F unless you're on a 3090 class…
notmaroun commented on AMD Ryzen 5 5600x + Gigabyte X570S AORUS ELITE AX Motherboard $539.10 Delivered + 1% Surcharge @ Shopping Express
$235 for an overspecced motherboard on an architecture that's barely overclockable? No thankyou. Get a 5600X for around $300, and a decent…

This is designed to be mounted on your ceiling, with a cable going into your router. Don't use wifi extenders in general. They just make…
notmaroun replied to mg_k on [eBay Plus] 15% Off Selected AM4 Ryzen Processors @ Various Sellers via eBay
If you are using a dGPU, 11400F and the cheapest motherboard you can find that supports it. No reason to go AMD atm with these prices, and…
notmaroun replied to dreamscene on Drop + THX AAA 789 Linear - Balanced Headphone Amp US$199 + US$15 Delivery (~AU$296) @ Drop
Oh no the 589s are fine. You'd have to be driving something very dumb and very inefficient and very loud to trip the DX3 up.

The problem w/ hearing a difference is that you need to be double blinded. The scientific consensus is generally that our ears suck and…

Dfly red is garbage for the money, measure an order of magnitude worse than the Tempotec Sonata HD pro costing only $50.

The E44 looks great and has been on my radar for a while... I just hate that they stuck the cables out instead of giving me jacks to plug…

When it was released it was quite groundbreaking, I do admit. It also has lots of convenience features that - while I wouldn't use it - are…

Modern Topping offerings measure better for the same price/cheaper. They also have the A30 pro for a bit more, which provides more power…

Depends on use case. If I'm gaming, I'd rather not pay for an 8 core CPU when I'm GPU bound. A 6 core is plenty and offers the same in…
