ATX POWER SUPPLY FOR GAMING PC. Get a Tier 1 or Tier 2 on the lists. Or a Tier 3 if money is an issue. Anyway, a higher grade PSU will last longer.

Or look at the warranty:

Garbage PSU= 3 year warranty

Cheap PSU= 5 year

Good and very good PSU= 7-10 year

Hulk= 12+ year

If in question, check [H]ard|OCP at https://www.hardocp.com for the PSU review.

 

If they have tested it and it passed the tests, it's a good one.

I just received mine from China (!!!) today, ordered on 23rd of May for £56.38 including postage, no extra taxes.

 

It now seat vertically under my 22' but I haven't tested it yet, it looks good, even if you can't expect very strong plastic for this price, it's more than OK.

 

From Windows 10 settings, I can select it and tilt the image, so it can be used in landscape or portrait option.

 

As soon as I receive the cables for my graphic card and this mini-screen, I'll know what it is worth, the idea is to use it as a radar repeater without having to zoom in on it from the cockpit view.

 

My HOTAS has a dedicated 8-way hat with a click button (center) that I can use instead of the mouse, making entirely HOTAS targets selection and lock possible.

This is the best Windows 10 Tweak guide I have ever used. I basically used everything in there except for the power plan, as I heard that it interferes with VR. Completely safe (no viruses or malware) however use at your own risk, these are still registry edits that might mess up your system. Set a restore point before starting out, follow the instructions closely, and remember to enable UAC once you've finished tweaking. 

 

credit goes to @dukovac for turning me onto this, it has let me regain some of my lost FPS due to Windows Patches and other completely unnecessary crap that Microsoft pollutes our Operating Systems with almost every patch it releases.

This works just fine.

 

 

I've been looking for a way to disable Windows Update Medical Service which is the trigger but couldn't, let's hope someone can castrate Windows 11 the same way because one thing for sure, Microsoft have been working very hard to force their updates into users...

 

Just that everyone understand, triggers such as this one reset everything related to it back to manual or auto, starts Windows updates download if you havent taken care of setting it up for asking you first, after which all "multimedia" apps collect your datas which are sent directly to Microsoft.

 

Thanks!

If you really want to get a proper Win10 installer image, this is how you do it:

 

be warned, you will need access to a Server ( can be a trial 180-day lic ) and some time to get it done.

 

Prepare the Server with WDS:

 

 

 

Make your custom image, permanently banning Bloatware

 

 

Take your time....

 

Bit

 

P.S. even if you dont plan to do all this, it is very informtive and you can also refrain from using the decrapify script and just disbale all Questions MS asks you when you are installing....I recommend this to all users to get a better understanding what MS does with your PC.

I need your advice. I am an employee in  consulting structural engineers australia company. It needs an suitable PC for graphic designing work. So kindly suggest to me a best option for it.

 

An Intel system will be more suited to your kind of work, if you do CAD design, some cards are designed for the job (or at least were when I was messing about with CATIA and Fluent)...

9 Best Graphics Cards for AutoCAD in 2023 (January Update) Do try to cut corners withj them, they are not designed for overclocking, go for the one you really need in terms of performances and features.

You'll need a lot of RAM, at least 64Gb to 128GB, not necessarily the lowest latency (mostly for gaming) or highest frequency, if you use one of the actual generation processor, it will be limited to 3200 MHz, this will improve with the next generation with different sockets supporting DDR5 RAM kits.

Intel processors have the edge with multitreading and top speed, which is literaly what you need to go for in your line of work, the rest is a question of budget (motherboard, RAM, GPU, storage etc), one important thing: When you buy a RAM kit, make sure you buy the whole capacity all at once, the sticks are tested together, because mixing two different RAM kits, even from the same batch can result in failure to boot.

Large capacity Solid State Drives are faster than SATA by a margin but you also can fit a Solid State Drive SSD directly on your motherboard (make sure it supports it, hardware compatibiliy is a jungle and no seller is going to ask you what you really need, they will sell you what you ask for), my tip, better going for the largest capacity possible from the word go (2/4TB), you'll run out of storage space faster than you might think, especially if you use your PC for professional reasons.

To finish, Power supply is VERY important, you need a power suply that has the right standard, meaning the built quality to deliver the claimed power output at all time, other will not, they only give the maximum output as an indication but can failt to deliver or fail altogether, which leave you with no choice but to replace them, cheaper is never better.

Best Power Supplies 2023

Cooling, you need a reliable machine, so chose your case well for best cooling as possible, and service (clean filters, and internals) often to avoid issues, dust is conductive and can cause short cuts and even fires (saw it on one of mine when the dust cause a RAM stick to burn).

That's all I can tell you about it I hope it helps but do your home work and researches, you need to understand what you are doing, the best sources are the manufacturer technical support teams, they will gladly answer your questions, just make sure you ask the right ones.

I had the good idea to purchase Thrustmaster TM Flying Clamp and MonsterTech Joystick / HOTAS Table Mount.

Both are excellent built quality, relatively easy to assemble and mount I certainly don't regret my purchase.

The Joystick / HOTAS Table Mount in particular solve the problem of the Thrustamster Warthog stifness, my arm stays horizontal I even can rest my forearm on the armrest if I chose to, I have more room on my desk for anything I need, like putting a Pico4 controller where I can easily find it without looking at it etc.

Both recommended.

I already have one to allow me to fit my new GPU in my case, this leaves me with about 3mm space between the two, but I had to displace one of the fans which now sits at the bottom of the case, blowing upward through an opening, so I'm about to order another one.

It is 10mm thinner than your standard 120mm fan so if you have a similar problem of space, this could be the solution.

Don't want Windows to install tons of garbage while logging in?

Here you go, I guaranty a 500Mbs (tested with Ookla) speed, turn off before logging off, turn on after logging in and cleaning your system.

Pump those calories OUT!

I figured it works after testing the two configurations back to back, a low pressure fan vs one of the two Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM I ordered, I installed it at the back of the case, it is a high airflow fan (102,1 m³/h) and does a very good job of replacing the previous fan which was good as well but low pressure for my previous 5600X/1080Ti system.

There was an hot spot behind the CPU fan with the RX 7900 XTX, since both it and the CPU generate tons of heat, if the rear fan creates a bottleneck, your system will stay hot.

The second one haven't been delivered yet but I will install it in the front/high position so as to aliment the case with more cool(er) air (right now also a low pressure Noctua).

If you have 120mm fans that is not doing their job, this will do.
