Any big differences between the Noctua l9a am4 and the Cryorig c7? For a Ryzen 2600.

Anyone here tried the Id cooling is-vc45? How does it compare to the c7? Cheers!

Hello, how are you? Working on a build. The goal is 4k gaming at 60hz. Mostly 2160p, but migh also go for custom resolutions of 1800p or 1620p when 4k cannot be used at 60fps. Anyway, I was looking at using a Ryzen 2600 as the cpu for two reasons. Number one is the price. Since currenlty...

Maybe because TVs have to be able to display regular broadcast and cable TV that sometimes is 720p or even 480p in some cases. Anyway, my TV seems to do a great job with the gpu handling the scaling

Indeed. That is the video. That made me go and experiment. Today I played more Mankind divided and am really happy. Even at 1620p the details on the hair, clothing and materials is great and extremely sharp. I game at 1.5m from a 55 inch TV and at 1620p locked 60fps it is a great gaming...

From the top of my head I have the Division and Battlefield 1 that I know have resolution scalers. I will try both of them. Cheers

Today I am doing some experiments. I went to nvidia control panel and created two custom resolutions. One is 2880x1620 and the other is 3200x1800. Then I select the GPU as the scaler, to scale using aspect ratio and to overide game scaling settings. Then I tried some games. On witcher 3 I can...

Hello, how are you? I have my gaming pc on the living room connected to a 4k TV. Today I started playing mankind divided that was still in my backlog and even with shadows dropped to medium an no taa the game still has drops into the high forties at 4k. If I drop the resolution to 1440p the...

My current 1080ti is a blower cooler model and I don't ever want to get close to one ever again. It is loud and hot as hell! With the 2080ti I am definitely going open air cooler. Probably the gigabyte windforce oc that is two slot thick and 3 fans.

The official specs say the maximum gpu length for the dan case is 295mm. On the new 2080ti cards, the MSI Duke is 314 and the Gigabyte Windforce is not declared yet, but looking at it, it may be longer. That just leaves the EVGA at 270mm to fit the dan case, but the EVGA is more expensive. Since...

I have been seeing some builds on the Dan case and cpu Temps get me worried. I am really wanting to migrate my build to a v3 Dan case. My current build is in a Silverstone Ml08. I have a 8700 non k and a scythe big Shuriken 2 Rev b with a thermalright ty14013 fan. While gaming, my cpu boosts...

Isn't an open air cooler with heatsink fins perpendicular to the card like the evga 1080 and 1080ti models preferred? The air is forced by the card fans over the heatsink and it goes to the bottom and top of the case where it can escape due to the holes the case has. If you install a bottom...

Hello, how are you? Going to pick up a V3 case next week. I will be using it in the living room next to my 55 inch 4k tv for gaming. I am still trying to choose if I get the black or the silver version. But anyway, I have a couple of questions. I already have almost all the hardware. For psu I...

Can the freesync range be expanded to 40-60 with the cru method?

Hello, Just saw the PCmonitors review of this monitor: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/philips-436m6vbpab/ I must say it looks quite good. The size, 4k resolution, HDR1000 with real local dimming and Freesync make this a very tempting offer. It is a great option for someone that is looking for...

Hello, how are you? Looking at discussing this. For a person that enjoys single player story driven games, rpgs, single player campaigns and is a couch gamer, that will only game at the couch with a controller at the TV, so no high refresh rate monitor and no keyboard and mouse. Also, this...

Hello, how are you? I am piecing a build in a node 202. I already got good deals on some parts and I already have everything except the board, cpu and ram. So far I have: Node 202 case Enermax 650w gold sfx psu GTX 1070 Windforce oc Scythe 120mm slim fans 2000rpm Samsung 960 Evo m.2...

Hello, how are you? I am looking for a monitor. Initially I was looking at the LG 32GK850G. It is a 31.5 inch 1440p 165hz VA monitor. It is expensive so I went and started to do some research. From what I gather, like all VA panels, the pixel response is weak and that leads to smearing...

I would prefer the 27 inch size. But I keep reading on several sources that’s on the 25 monitors, the Alienware model is the better monitor. Better than both the asus and Acer 25 inch models. The 27 Acer I saw obviously a different panel, but is the 25inch Alienware better performing than the 27...

I am looking at mostly gaming. If the panel is really that slow in response then it might be a no no.

Hello, I am looking for a 32 monitor. I am wondering if the 32GK850G screen is worth twice the price of the 32UD59? The UD59 is 4k VA but only 60hz with freesync. Still it is 330 euros. The GK850 is 700 euros. Ok that it is 165 hz, but it still has smearing and response time issues. So I am...

Hello, how are you? I was looking at some gaming laptops and just thinking how good of an option they are... About two years ago, when the desktop parts prices were not what they are today and gaming laptops only had m gpu variants, I would never think this, but today, it seriously got me...

Hello, how are you? I am looking for a monitor. The usage will be almost exclusively gaming. At first, I was set on a 32 inch 1440p 165hz monitor like the LG or Acer ones. But then I went reading and a lot of people online claim that ultrawide gaming is such a great experience and that it...

I am 35 years old. And I wear glasses since I was 4. I am currently debating between either a 32 inch 1440p 165hz gsync monitor or a nice Panasonic tv with 4k and hdr10 in 43 inches. Both solutions cost about the same. I am just trying to decide what would make games more enjoyable. The 165hz or...

Hello, how are you? I am looking at a Sony x8305c. From what I can tell it accepts pc input at 120hz 1080p and does nearest neighbor also. I am looking at it to use at a desk as both a pc monitor and ps3 and ps4 pro display. The thing is that the 49 version is cheaper than the 43, due to store...

Hello, Anyone knows if the UE-49MU8000 does nearest neighbour for 1080p content input? Cheers!

How does this monitor handle 1080p input from a PS4? Does it do a direct 4 to 1pixel mapping? Or does it have a scaler? Cheers!

Hello, Any feedback here how the Samsung UE-43MU6179 works as a monitor? Especially for gaming. Both PC and Playstation. Thanks. Cheers!

Hello, how are you? So I sold my old monitor and now I am wanting to buy a 4k tv for my media consumption and gaming. i have two choices. either get a 43 inch 4k tv to replace my monitor and use it on the desk like a monitor and continue to use my office chair, keyboard and mouse and Xbox one...

Hello, I am looking for someone that has the monitor and is willing to share the settings of brightness, contrast, gamma, color, etc on the OSD to get the best possible IQ from the panel. Cheers!

Hello, how are you? My Lenovo Y27G was just delivered this morning. I am very excited. My first impressions are very positive. The build quality seems and feels really good. I really like the stand and base, both for design and functionality. It has a wide array of adjustments. The size...

hello, how are you? I have been reading the thread here about the Samsung UN40K6300 and it's use as a computer monitor and I am really excited to try using a 4K tv as a monitor for my gaming pc. I found a great deal here for a Hisense 40M3300. From the specs it looks like a decent set. And the...

Hello, how are you doing? I need some advice on this matter. what is the better upgrade from a 290 VaporX? Is it a Sapphire Fury Nitro or a Gigabyte 980TI G1? Price is not an issue as they both cost the same. From looking ate reviews when the 980TI launched, it was almost twice as fast as a 290...

Hello, Between these two monitors, what would be the better choice? The AOC is TN and has a freesync range of 35-144. Also has LFC. The Samsung is VA, has quantum dot technology but has a weird freesync range of 70-144 and is 50% more expensive. So, my questions are if Quantum dot...

Hello, how are you? I am looking for some opinions and insight about this matter. Basically, I am looking into using a big screen TV as a display for PC gaming. I am not talking about using the computer to browse the web, do productivity on office apps or other kind of work. Just plain...

Thank you for your reply. What worries me about the windforce 970 is that it has the heatpipes running along the pcb and the fins will be pararell to the ap181 fans. From what I read, these are the main problems with 90° rotation, because the heatpipes will struggle gravity and the fins won't...

Hello, how are you? I am wondering if anyone is running either a 970 or 980 from Gigabyte with their windforce 3x cooler on a Silverstone case where the motherboard is rotated 90°? Any issues? I read on the Web that graphics cards with custom cooling solutions based on heatpipe can have...

Hello, how are you? I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Asrock Z97 extreme9. For me it looks good, mainly because : 4x Pcie slots with PLX bridge chip. 2x m. 2 slots. Good on-board audio. 2x Intel Ethernet ports 2x Sata express Price is competitive. But online...

I am looking more into this case, and have a few questions: - In regard to CPU coolers, the limit, according to the silverstone site is 162mm in height. What is the best solution to cool the CPU in this case? I was thinking about the Phanteks PH-TC14PE. But it would only fit without fans. With...
