    Which Z490 for meets my needs?

    I have the msi z490 unify, that's been great, no complaints, got it for $225 on cyber Monday. I was originally going to get the Tomohawk until I saw the deal on the Unify. After having an amd x470 Taichi, it was a very pleasant surprise. Very stable and just works.

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    I recently had time to put my i7-10700kf and MSI Z-490 unify together for some benches and stress testing. It just works, no need for bios updates, just put together, load latest drivers and go. Does it use more electricity? Yes. Does it run a little hotter than amd? Yes it does, but I do not...

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    Here is an update on my build. Updated to the latest bios on my x470 Taichi, did a clear cmos , pulled the battery for awhile, and dropped the r5 3600 in and booted into the bios. Then set everything where it should be, went to reboot, and after a bunch of beeps and reboots, my ram [cl 14...

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    I have a very good LG ips 144hz 32" monitor for my display, guess I should've mentioned that, I just had a chance to sell off one of my systems so it was time to rebuild, and its been a lot harder to figure out which way I want to go because of the tech deals this time of year. Its still a...

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    I think the 5800x for $450 is too much, would like something in between that and the 5600x, but for now I'll keep the 3600.

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    That was a real eye opener, I haven't been to Anandtech in a long time. Thanks for the link. Looks like I'll keep the 3600 and return the other stuff.

    Is it worth Upgrading from a r5 3600 to a i7-10700k if running a radeon 5700xt?

    Hello Everybody, I was just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade from a ryzen r5 3600 to a core i7 10700k when running a radeon 5700xt for gaming? Would there be a big difference in frame rates or the total pc experience? I already have all the parts...

    I7 10700k or not?

    Wow, after looking around, I'm glad I got what I did when I did because it looks like a lot of cpus are sold out everywhere or the prices are too inflated. I've even seen the r7 2700x selling for what I paid for mine two years ago!

    I7 10700k or not?

    I ended up pulling the trigger on a combo deal I found, I got an i7-10700kf( I don't care about the onboard video) paired with the msi meg z490 unify (a supposedly good board )for $525 after I used a promo code. The 2700x and x470 Taichi will go to my teenager and her rig will go on ebay. I...

    I7 10700k or not?

    Hello All, I'm currently rocking an r7 2700x on an asrock x470 taichi (that I'm not crazy about, nvme drives disappear sometimes and also usb issues)with a 5700xt and was looking to upgrade to zen3 5800x, but I think the availability and pricing is ridiculous. I can get the 10700k for...

    HP Omen 32" QHD Monitor - 2560x1440, 5ms, 75Hz freesync, VA panel

    Got one of these for xmas from the wife, coming from a Dell S2740l glossy ips the colors are not as crisp and don't pop, but there is no backlight bleed, dead pixels or banding that I have noticed yet and the glare is minimal compared to the Dell. I also like the 2k res and the 75hz refresh...

    Dell U2713HM

    Looks like I spoke too soon, I left the monitor on overnight to check for image retention and the next day it had very obvious backlight bleed. I tried ignoring it but every dark scene whether in games or multimedia it was driving me nuts. This is the 4th one I have had [3 from Amazon and 1...

    Dell U2713HM

    Dremic, I figured all Amazon could do is ship from the stock they have on hand. I thought Dell would have a better shot at getting me one without terrible backlight bleed so I called them, told them how frustrated I was driving back and forth to the UPS store and was willing to...

    Dell U2713HM

    After 3 U2713hms from Amazon with terrible backlight bleed with aoo revision and 9\12,10\12 and 11\12 production dates, got an exchange straight from Dell , same revision but production date of 1\13. This one still has the backlight bleed but it is minimal and is the best one yet. I think I...
