Might just be me but my blocked cards sag less than the same card with the stock air cooler so it seems to be a better design to me. My GTX 480 and 580 cards with blocks still worked fine when I had them 2 years ago, those were the oldest blocked cards I had though.

The 13600k would have the least amount of latency between cores and also in general (i.e. to memory) not sure how that would impact that game in particular though.

I run one in a temporary box I built with my FE 3090 and it's great for playing all my stuff at 4k, sure my newer stuff might be faster but hey this temporary rig has been running for almost a year lol

I haven't used those new IPS / HFS shoot or whatever TCL panels but I do like my 27r94 a lot it was the best of the 27" 4k monitors I've had after my original Acer X27 gsync ultimate HDR 1000 panel. The near-black performance and HDR bright-area performance both put it above all the others...

550 is a pretty decent price for it, from what I remember the black level on that is a lot better than the 27"

Hopefully hdd prices go down at some point too I would eventually like to build a new file server.

Without the glass on both sides it's probably quite a bit lighter, I have the regular white one at my office I never bothered to take home because the case by itself is so big and heavy I can already barely lift it lol. One of the reviews on amazon has a picture of the box and packaging...

looks like ltt linus dropped it

Looks like TCL USA finally put them on their site and at a discount already. Still seems like review sites are allergic to TCL though. https://us.tcl.com/collections/monitors-for-sale

Even a few years ago better boards and high end builds at least got you something, with AM5 better boards don't really even get you any higher performance and it's not like it has a high end socket with a 64+ core cpu or something either like the old 3175x dominus.

So this person actually has no idea if it was that way at the beginning or not? They also updated with a reply from Asus saying that is the original design...

on skylake disabling HT could gain you 1-200mhz at same voltage, haven't tried it on the newer CPUs though

The 1851 ILM doesn't seem much of any different from 1700 so I have one on mine.

what exactly is illegal?

b760 ddr4 board with a 13/14th gen Intel CPU might also be worthwhile depending on pricing it could be cheaper.

I was considering one of these before but didn't know you could monitor it directly in hwinfo without the MSI software, it's nice to know you don't need that.

I do have the regular non-ultra Royal Pretor and the fans on it are pretty loud and aren't as pleasing sound as some other fans which is something to keep in mind. (the ultra pretor has 7 heatpipes vs the 6 on the regular ones)

A lot of games on disc can be played with no updates or internet. https://www.doesitplay.org/list?platform=PS5&offlinePlay=Yes&downloadRequired=No&page=1&order=ReleaseASC It does note that if you have a console that has an optional disc drive (slim/pro) that may require internet activation to...

Okay well I'm just gonna ignore your troll post then, have a good day I guess.

Curious where you got this list, it's rather "interesting"

the only ddr5 that is any good is hynix, the rest all suck ass about as much as each other so it's not like it would really be any different.

well for one thing for pc games we can get different pricing at different places even if it's just steam keys, for playstation sony sets the pricing the digital price is the same everywhere

looks like the thermalright deal is dead now anyway, updated OP to reflect it and renamed the post.

Woot has the Scythe Mugen 6 black / dual fan for $32 https://sellout.woot.com/offers/scythe-mugen6-black-cpu-cooler-10 regular price is almost 50 https://www.amazon.com/Scythe-LGA1700-LGA1151-Support-Aluminium/dp/B0CV38NQWF/

(thermalright deal deal is dead now, scythe deal below still active) This was 30 dollars when I bought one, nice cooler for the price and the fans have a nice sound profile. black: https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Cooler-Ultra-Extreme-REV-5/dp/B0GS5KWHRS white...

Pretty decent deal, price is usually $30 or so. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C51J2ZXN

pretty neat solution, would be cool if there were more kits like this in case the bundled clc dies.

Windows will do the same thing where if it detects the boot partition already it'll just use that one. If you want each drive to have its own you'll have to only have 1 drive connected at a time.

As long as it's the same version of windows home/pro it should activate. Sometimes if you have a multi-version installation media it'll automatically pick the licensed version too.

the 5090 is 5500... https://rog.asus.com/us/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-astral/rog-astral-rtx5090-p32g-edition-20/ the 3kw psu at 900 seems like a bargain in comparison

extra cable (3m length) and a case oh wait you said 480 480 = 3m cable, headphone bag 480 plus = 3m cable, case 490 = 1.8m cable, extra earpads 490 plus = both cables, extra earpads, case https://www.sennheiser.com/en-us/catalog/products/headphones/hd-480-pro/hd-480-pro-700499#What's in the...

real world in case vs test bench?

That's great but not what we were discussing.

Yeah it should be perfectly fine, newer blocks are better but it's not such a huge difference that it would be worthwhile imo unless you have it pegged 24/7 at 100%.

You may need to get a new CPU block if only because there's not a mounting kit available, you could fabricate your own depending on what platform though.

I'm sure they would be happy to know about your experiences then. tft central also shows similar result, they also confirmed the panels are calibrated using 60Hz at the factory (well at least one factory)...

Another thing to keep in mind is 40gb+ cards will most likely use a lot of power and need extra cooling as well.

it's also worthwhile to keep in mind it's a problem on woled and not really with qd-oled panels. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/learn/gamma-shift-investigation

Performance wise it's pretty even for me in ff14 lol, 70-74% of the performance for 70% of the price. I hope AMD's next line is better, I was disappointed it was so much lower performance than the 7000 series.

can't fault them plus pallets are annoying to get rid of for normal people lol
