    Better monitor than an LG 27GL850 for $450 or less?

    https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-gaming-monitor I'm eyeing this monitor, and reviews say it's great but suffers from slightly low contrast ratio. Is there a better monitor within the price of $450? 27" is my target size.

    Price being equal; 5700XT or 2070 Super?

    With the custom 5700XT cards now appearing locally here, but with prices that matches the 2070 Supers, should I just go 2070 Super instead of the 5700XT? Or is the 5700XT still a better buy at the same price (less than 15 dollar difference)? I (will) have a 144Hz 1440p monitor for gaming and...

    Ryzen 9 3900x the undervolting champ?

    This 3900x I have has been very good, but I live in a hot country so temps are always a little bit higher. Undervolting drops overall performance by ~23% in Cinebench R20, but very significantly reduces temperatures. I underclock the CPU to 3GHz all core, and use 1.0125 vcore (actual 1.016v)...

    I need new IPS displays. Either 2x24" or 1 super ultra wide.

    My new Ryzen 3900x build requires better displays. I have an old Philips 24" 234E and a new temporary LG 24" MK600. Sizewise they are a perfect fit for my limited space, and fit with about 1 inch to spare on the far left and far right. However, screen quality isn't the best. Contrast is too low...

    Well, that's anticlimactic. Sold out 5 minutes ahead of release.

    CPU's and X570 mobos goes live 5 minutes before scheduled time, and sold out immediately. The 3900x sold out so fast I didn't even get to see the listing.

    A good bluetooth mouse that's not made for midget hands?

    I'm sick of corded mice and I don't want dongles taking up space on my very very few USB ports, but all the bluetooth mice I have seen are really small. I mean so small I get carpal tunnel just looking at them. Are there any good (high quality, long battery, no rgb nor led lit, at least 3...

    Ryzen 5 1400, 1500X, 1600 and 1600X. US$ 169-249

    The 1400 and 1500X are 4 core/8 thread parts and the 1600 and 1600X are 6 core/12 thread parts. How will they stack up you think?

    iPhone 7 storage speeds across different sizes?

    This video seems to suggest the 32 GB version is significantly slower than the 256 GB version of the iPhone 7 - specially on the write speeds. To the tune of 8 times slower! Anyone with access to a 32 GB and a 128 or 256 GB version that can test to verify?

    Windows 10 and Intel HD 4600 graphics crashes

    So I have been running both Windows 10 Home and Pro on this laptop with a Core i7-4710HQ and HD 4600 integrated graphics. Out of the box, fresh install with driver updates etc... I keep running into BSOD's that I traced back to the graphics card drivers (VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE), and later on to the...

    Full size, mechanical keyboard without numpad on the right?

    Is there such a thing as a full size, mechanical keyboard without numpad on the right? Preferably reasonably priced and reasonably high quality. Ergonomic would be a plus, but acceptable if it's not. Edit: Found a good resource thanks to Rubon...

    Core i7 4710HQ turbo boost question.

    On the package it say turbo boost up to 3.5 Ghz, with "normal" operation of 2.5Ghz. When I run Prime95 on it, the cores are only bumped up to 3.08 Ghz. I never see 3.5Ghz at all. I guess my question is if this CPU is faulty since it does not "Turbo" to the supposed 3.5 Ghz at all. The CPU...

    Anyone with an ASUS ROG G751 laptop?

    This model: http://store.asus.com/us/item/201412AM130000005/A17602 It seems to be a good machine with good specs and build quality. I'm considering it (with the i7-4710Q CPU and GTX860m. Costs only US$ 1,190 here) for my long term laptop replacement. Portability isn't top priority, but I prefer...

    WTB: Nexus 10

    Intel laptop CPU's

Not to count the core i7's and i3's (43 and 20 respectively), and on top of that six i7 extreme. That's 96 different...

    Samsung C530 DVI-to-HDMI issues. Crappy IQ.

    So I got the Samsung 32" C530 today. Great price too, and got some free stuff to go with it (DVD player, free 3 year insurance). I was happy to be able to ditch my old, fading BenQ 32" 720p LCD that would not accept a 1366x768 resolution DVI-to-DVI (only 1280x720) so I was stuck with the old...

    Is there a better 32" LCD-TV than the Sony 32EX400?

    Title says it all. Is there a better 32" LCD than the Sony 32EX400 (preferably in the same price range)? It would be used as a HTPC/Game PC screen, 75% would be media viewing with 20% gaming (new/old RPG's) and the rest light web surfing. If there aren't any better LCD's, is there anything...

    Yes, another "Which SSD is better for me" thread.

    I have been way out of HW building for too long, but now ready to get a small SSD for my laptop (which sports a 80 GB, 5400 rpm HDD). The bottleneck is clearly my HDD and I am sick and tired of it. Win7 takes forever to load as well, as does many simple tasks that require HDD access (eg. loading...

    Low power CPU speeds? (eg. Atom, Neo, Nano)

    So there seems to be a boat load of different low powered CPU's for all sorts of "netbooks". I have gathered some info, but what are the *actual* speed differences between them? I list them in the order I think they should be, from lowest to highest performance. Intel Atom Zxxx series (single...

    Games at prices you can afford. US$ 10-14

    If you think you are paying too much for games, then you are right. In Thailand, due to very high piracy, they have been forced to rethink their strategy about game pricing. They succeeded. Pay only between US$ 10 and 14 for games. ALL LEGAL for those who cares to ask. I have bought...

    ASUS P505 non reponsive LCD

    Now this is a first I suppose. My newly aquired ASUS P505 works great. The keypad is wonderful, the joystick is great and the ASUS menu works fine for what it's designed for. One problem I have though is that sometimes the LCD is totally non responsive to taps on items and icons on screen...

    [H] Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 review

    Pentium M 1.4Ghz to 2.0Ghz, worth it?

    Does anyone have any idea, how going from a 1.4Ghz Pentium M to a 2.0 Ghz would change the battery life and heat output in my HP/Compaq nx7000 laptop? Battery time is about 3 hours with WiFi enabled, with some light gaming, LOTS of calculations in excel (think 10 minutes just to recalculate a...

    Has anyone noticed here at [H]?

    Have you noticed the ramping going on in the teams ranked # 6 through 9? Some nice competition going on there. As everyone knows, the teams there are capable of bringing some very nice power to any DC project out there. Yes there is still a reasonable gap in weekly production, but that could...

    Laptop config

    In your own subjective opinion: Would a top end Centrino work better than a high end P4 (ie. 3.06 or 3.2ghz) or would a A64 be a better choice? Is the mobility 9800pro a lot better than the mobility 9700pro? I recall the [H] review some time back showing performance much higher... but does...

    Overheating laptop. Possible to have fans spinning all the times?

    So this HP/Compaq nx7000 is overheating and shutting down pretty quick (a minute or 2) when I do something CPU and/or GPU intensive. Pretty annoying when I do some larger excel calculations or want to relax with Doom3 a bit. One problem I see is that the CPU fan doesn't kick in until the...

    4200 rpm vs. 5400 rpm HDD's

    So I am thinking about changing my current small(ish) 40GB, 4200 rpm HDD. Locally they got up to 80GB HDD's, in 4200 rpm and 5400 rpm variants. Will the 5400 rpm HDD increase performance enough to justify a price increase from US$ 200 to US$ 260? Also, are there any larger 2.5" hdd's than...

    Semi-good video editing/encoding PC?

    Mobility 9200 and IQ loss with CAT 4.8

    Is anyone else seeing a massive image quality loss with 4.8 CAT's with Mobility 7500 and 9200? MipMap levels are VERY noticable now, like they have been moved inward (less detail) and runs more like bilinear instead of trilinear. This is very noticable in Doom3, but framrates increased...
