  1. Maximum receiver volume I can go

    Try this spl calculator to see what you can expect at your seating location https://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html Your receiver is at the high end for what the speaker manufacturer recommends powerwise, so you should be fine in that regard as long as you aren't driving the...
  2. Poll: At what bitrate do you encode music?

    Flac for home use, 256kbps MP3 for the car
  3. Question Which AMD processor?

    I mentioned that I went through them in post #3. While a good tool, I really wanted to get input from people ripping movies with more focus on quality then using the basic fast presets.
  4. Question Which AMD processor?

    Maybe you missed this part....
  5. Question Which AMD processor?

    Well, got everything all assembled today. It's a huge improvement, about 3.5x faster than previously with the same settings. Thanks so much for the help!
  6. Question Which AMD processor?

    Thanks all. I'm going to go with a 5600X for now and upgrade to the 5900X later on when they're available for a reasonable (ie. retail) price.
  7. Question Which AMD processor?

    I care somewhat, in that I'd rather it not take 10 hours to do a 2 hour movie if it could be done in say half the time on a newer processor. We're critical customers here. My wife can see the difference when I went from 16 to 14 in a dark test scene from a blu ray, she used to work in video...
  8. Question Which AMD processor?

    Thanks so much for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I guess the other alternative is to go with what's available now, like a 5600x and upgrade later when parts are available to the 5900x?
  9. Question Which AMD processor?

    4K is in my future, but probably not for another year or two. PQ is fantastic. I've tried it at higher RF's before and there was too much artifacting and banding in dark scenes for my tastes. I basically ripped specific test scenes at various RF until I found where there was minimal...
  10. Question Which AMD processor?

    Thanks, I do most of my encoding from bluray to 1080p x264 with an RF of 14 using very slow and DTS-HD audio passthrough. It's a custom preset I've made based off of the HQ 1080p30 surround preset. I'm more concerned with the picture quality being better than outright speed of the encoding...
  11. Question Which AMD processor?

    Yeah, I've used the bench, but I was more wondering what people's real world experiences have been. In the 4k handbrake encoding threads in the forum, it appears that the 3900x is faster than the 5800x.
  12. Question Which AMD processor?

    I'm looking to build a new PC. My most intensive use scenario right now is using Handbrake to backup my movie collection. So I'm looking for the fastest AMD cpu for that under $500. This leaves me looking at 3900x, 5800x (when available), or 5600x. Are the more cores in the 3900X going to...
  13. Question Windows 10 audio/mouse issues

    Hey all, after the Windows update to 2004 I'm having some very annoying issues. My mouse cursor will intermittently freeze and at the same time my audio will glitch if I have any music playing. This seems to happen every second or so. It sounds like a very fast skipping noise. I don't know...
  14. Laptop recommendation needed - engineering school

    Thanks. I'd like to keep it around $1500 or less. I also forgot to add that I want a backlit keyboard and I definitely don't want a 17" model. 14-15" should be perfect. Thanks. I'll take a look at the two you suggested.
  15. Laptop recommendation needed - engineering school

    Hi all, Which laptops would you recommend for school? Specifically for an engineering and physics heavy program? So it must have a dedicated numberpad, and other than that I'm mostly concerned with having a good screen, at least 1080p resolution, and a good processor, ability to upgrade to an...

    Hi all, Having an issue with the backlighting of the keyboard. It randomly shuts off, anywhere from every 30 seconds to every few minutes. I have updated to the latest Bios, version 204, and the ATK package is also the current up to date one, it has been uninstalled and reinstalled as well...

  20. possible psu issue?

    It has an LED fan and the fan was spinning, but the LED's were very dim like they weren't get the proper amount of power. Anyway, I replaced the PSU with a 700 watt one I had from before I upgraded and it no longer does the odd power cycling.
  21. W7 restarts instead of shutting down

    Swapped out the PSU amd voila, windows shuts down and starts up normally. Was lucky enough to still have the PSU from before this one. =)
  22. W7 restarts instead of shutting down

    Is it possible that this is a PSU issue? When I turned my pc on tonight it appeared to power cycle 5 or 6 times before it started to load the bios screen. Then it froze and I noticed that the fan on my psu was very dim. A click of the reset button and it started up normally.
  23. possible psu issue?

    So, upon coming home from work I turned my pc on and it appeared to power cycle 5 or 6 times before it started to load the bios screen. Then it froze and I noticed that the fan on my psu was very dim. A click of the reset button and it started up normally. Do you think I need a new PSU?
  24. W7 restarts instead of shutting down

    Hey, I have this issue where whenever I try to shutdown win7 it ends up restarting. A list of what I've checked and tried so far: I've doublechecked my wake-on-lan settings in the bios and device manager and they are disabled. Do a diagnostic startup from msconfig and the issue still...

  26. Looking for vid card recommendations, followed format. =)

    Even if my CPU is a bottleneck I have no upgrade path right now. No point in getting a faster s775 part now that Sandy Bridge is out, but no point in getting a SnB mobo until the sata issue is fixed...

  28. Looking for vid card recommendations, followed format. =)

    So I have put in an order for the 1000mhz core clocked SOC gigabyte card at TigerDirect. Let's see if they actually ship it in 7-10 days like their website says. =) Thanks for all the advice!

  31. Looking for vid card recommendations, followed format. =)

    Bearach, I've had a number of cards die on me and EVGA's lifetime warranty has definitely come in handy for me at least a few times over the years, one time even netting me a better card. I remember having a 256mb 7900gt that died on me, and they sent me back a 512mb 7900 gto. Though I hardly...
  32. Looking for vid card recommendations, followed format. =)

    Then I guess my next question comes down to: 470 vs 560. Similar prices, similar performance, is there a reason to pick one over the other?
  33. Looking for vid card recommendations, followed format. =)

    Thanks both. Dpod, why not the gtx 570 for $350?

  36. CRT Snobs: What LCD did you finally buy??

    What are the other 120 hz panels? Are they all 1650 x 1080? I'm looking for a new monitor, coming from a nice 19" CRT, and would prefer something that is 1920 x 1200 as I'd rather not give up that vertical space.
  37. [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I'm looking at new monitors, since my trusty old 19" crt seems to be on it's way out (fuzzy text). What I'm looking for is something good for gaming, with good color reproduction also, and with a resolution of 1920x1200. I was looking at the Dell ultrasharp 2410 and 2408, though it seems the...
  38. Anyone try the new Asus Xonar DX yet?

    I just came from an Audigy 2 ZS on Logitech Z-5300 speakers. In game play I've noticed background sounds and effects that I'd never heard before on the audigy 2 zs. The tech report review is what swayed me to buy this card as my audigy had just died and I was using onboard until I decided...
  39. Help picking out Sound Card

    Asus can use up to EAX 2.0 just like anyone else can. I bought their newest card, the Xonar DX, and just put it in my pc the other day. I've been quite impressed so far. I came from an Audigy 2, which suddenly died. It stopped putting sound out through two of its outputs. I tried the...
