Ok, I feel like some people are comparing the users that will spend hundreds of $ more for 5000mhz ddr4 ram for 2% increase in performance vs those of us that buy a sensible, balanced system. I for one know that for zen 2 and possibly zen 3, sweet spot is 3600mhz for the ram. So, same for ddr5...

I'm trying to get a discussion going on this topic. I am of the opinion that there is such a thing as a best time to build a new rig. I am opposing the idea that there's always something better on the horizon, and you'll end up waiting forever. I will not include the position of upgrading...

After much deliberation, I've decided on the LG 27GL850-B, as it works really well across the board, from 60hz to 144hz, and I game a lot at 60hz because of modded Skyrim and other performance hungry games. I also game at 144hz with Dota 2 and shooters, so yeah. Here's hoping I win at the...

Alright, so here are the prices up here for some of these monitors: HP Omen 27i 800$, out of stock AOC AG241QX 670$, in stock at amazon AORUS FI27Q-P 870$, in stock LG 27GL850-B 700$, in stock Asus VG27AQ, 520$, in stock Asus PG348Q 820$, in stock ViewSonic Elite XG270QG 850$, in stock at...

Hello there! My Full HD, 120hz Asus monitor from 2012 just died. I'm looking for a replacement. I will leave my BestBuy job within the week, so if possible, I want to take advantage of employee pricing I plan on doing a new build within 2-3 years, so I want to buy a 9/10 or above monitor...

You mean a 2k monitor that is not TN, has 144mhz+, good quality, maybe g-sync and other features is too much to ask for in 2019? I'm pretty sure that gets you more performance for your gaming experience than this trash....

You mean I can put it in the shower and wash it in 5 min? And it'll still work after?

1080p resolution, don't care. Must be at least 2k to be a worthwhile upgrade.

I don't care about price, as a good keyboard will last me forever, but I do care about quality, reliability, durability as well as maintenance. My current keyboard is a razer arctosa, and it is terrible for 2 reasons: membrane keyboard and it's first class ability of being a magnet for dust...

So, with 1.26 vcore, 1.8 PLL, LLC set at very high (using this, vcore gets up to 1.264, if I use only high, vcore is too low and I crash), dram at stock, I got a stable 4.4ghz at about high 50 celsius when playing or stress testing with everything besides IBT (this one gives me around 70 with...

Can someone explain to me what does Turbo Mode do exactly? Does it increase the clocks from 3.4 to 3.8 at all times? So it's kind of like a free overclock? I overclocked my cpu to 4.0 multiplier using stock voltages. Does that mean that my stock clock went from 3.4 to 4.0, and my boost clock...

Okay I solved the problem. I had both fans connected to the y-splitter and plugged into the cpu fan slot. This did not give me control over rpm. Once I plugged the PWM adaptor into the y-splitter on one end, and CPU fan on the other end, I have gained RPM control via bios and software. It is...

It's a Phanteks PH-TC14PE , and the fans are running at full rpm, it's annoying and I don't know how to lower their rpm. I don't want 2 degrees less temperature for a lot more noise. Mobo is Maximus V Formula. I installed the asus software Fan xpert 2, but it says the cpu cooler cannot be...

Naw, I'm not a hoarder.

The card is still damn good, only reason I upgraded to 1070 was because I needed a dx12 card, 6-8gb vram and found a damn strix oc model for really cheap, brand new. Stress tested it with unigine, 3dmark and the likes for hours and no artifacts, temps always 55-63, silent, it's amazing. I can't...
