It depends on the block design and to a lesser extent radiator design. The micro-pin array with top nozzle generally used in CPU blocks almost always benefit from proper flow direction. GPU blocks are generally not affected by flow direction, and...
Ha, I'm going to be jumping from an E5-1680V2 (8-core Ivy Bridge-E). Currently thinking about waiting for Microcenter deals once they open in Santa Clara. Definitely going for a vcache model as I play a lot of sim games.
Kinda amusing how EK's version of damage control is to delete threads on their subreddit that talk about GN's video. Certainly not a good look when they're trying to shut down the discussion rather than respond to it. Definitely lends merit to...
Their reputation for sponsoring flashy expensive builds all over social media is all that matters to them. Performance reputation is second and reliability/quality is a distant third.
I liked the G700 also for its ergonomics. I ended up getting one of those kits on Ebay that allowed for 5 minute swaps of the switches if needed. Not too long after that I ended up discarding it in favor of the SteelSeries Rival 650- the laser...
The bundled board has two secondary physical x16 slots but both are electrically X1. It seems like only ASRock puts an electrical X4 slot in the budget boards.
Saw this news as well. Been itching to do a new build as my E5-1680 V2 definitely can't keep up, especially with my recently acquired RTX 3080ti. Not enthused by the combo options available though. Looking at the 7800X3D and none of the...
I would stick to a 1000w PSU given your system specs. You honestly don't need it unless you plan to go Intel or Threadripper. Unless of course you manage to find an equal quality 1200w PSU for the same price as the 1000w units you're looking at...
That doesn't sound right. You should physically rearrange the monitors/monitor connections such that when you hit identify, the monitors should display 2-1-3 or 3-1-2. After that, you rearrange the monitors in the Windows display setting so that...
This only works for monitors connected by DisplayPort. Other connections are interpreted as always active regardless of whether or not the monitor is on. The motherboard being used only has VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections.
@OP try using the...
Indeed the difference is small. As small as the performance benefits that more cores provide in the games that do use them when comparing the 7800X3D to 7950X3D.
Basically, the same argument for more cores providing the best performance can also...
I get mine at our local True Value hardware. They have a whole of aisle of fasteners. We also have a place here called Tacoma Screw.
And yes, put a nut on before you cut to essentially rethread the screw. When you cut it, it messed up the...
Techspot's/Hardware Unboxed's review tells a different story. In their review, Cyberpunk 2077, Plague Tale: Requiem and Watch Dogs: Legion all performed worse on the dual CCD CPUs as compared to single CCD (including non-X3D parts). That's 25% of...
That worked, thanks. I could have sworn notification categories was on for my phone as I did mess with them before. 6.1 probably turned it off by default or one of the esim swaps reset that. Still scummy and absurd either way.
See if this works, it was posted two days ago on Reddit:
Just figured it out. Phone Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings The last toggle (On my phone, anyways) is "Manage notification categories for each app" Turn that on. Now you can...
