Well it is time i upgrade my 1070; I was thinking for the gigabyte 4070 - maybe the aero as it looks like an upgraded the windforce and trying to decide if it is a good option. Some background - i have a nr200p case (itx); i only game up to 1440p and have no intention of ever going to 4k (i use...

I want to upgrade my sandy bridge system (2500k) to alder lake and to use the chip's gpu i have to have secure boot enabled. Alas I'm behind the times and not sure what it takes. I.e, does secure boot actually require some sort of certificate or is it just an abuse of the word secure. I'm...

I'm a bit confused; the motherboards that are listed as compatible with the ryzen 7 5700G do not have video out connectors so how do you use the discrete gpu on the processor ?

LG officially announced a high-end 31 inch OLED monitor to be available shortly - model 32EP950 but they indicated soon (probably 2022) they will start making panels between 20 and 30 inch available for monitors.

My current case only fits mini cards which was great when i built it (ala mini-1070); but newer cards not being built in the mini format so I'm looking for a new case. My current case is the Lian Li PC-Q33 - which is nice and roomy inside but small foot print. The last cooler master case I...

My AOC are getting long in the tooth (6 years old). I was thinking of dell but wanted to check if there is an esp good 27 inch monitor available these days. While I do game i don't need ultra high refresh - i much rather have vibrant colours and no glow with good angle of view.

I've done a bit of searching but can't find any sort of recommended 25/27 1440P hdr monitors. I know dell has one (S2719DM) but don't know too much about it other than user reviews on bestbuy/amazon. I think samsung also has one but i again I've not seen much in the way of reviews. The monitor...

I'm thinking about upgrading my 2500k this year - mostly because the mb is beginning to show minor issues and it seems like 8 years is long enough. - Leaning towards c246 since it had 8 sata ports; any advantage to the z390 ?

I'm a bit surprise I'm not seeing more on this game. It releases today in a few hours; seems like a very well done xcom; with a lot more depth and details. Anyone tried it yet ?

I'm looking for a new 1440p monitor in the 25 to 27 (prefer 25) range. There used to be a site and frequent poster here that listed some of the best monitors with regards to minimal bleed and ips glow but I can't seem to remember it nor have any clue if it has been kept up to date. I was...

SOLD Per title; no paypal; no shipping. Please don't pm and tell me to ship it and use paypal. Card was purchased around oct 2015 (have to double check). I've been told it is voltage locked but otherwise no issues; replaced with mini 1070 when i shrunk my atx system to itx.

Hum. Bit of an issue; I want to shrink my haswell refresh window system from atx to mini-it without reinstalling windows 7. Sadly I cannot find z97 mini-itx motherboards (there is a gigabyte; but the prefer mb is asrock z97e - is no longer sold). I can find the following boards for sale: Asus...

I'm having two (minor?) problems with the new forum: First the font size seems larger for thread titles so there are significantly fewer thread titles per page. Is this change able (I could not find an option under profile) Second the only way to get to pc-gaming is to first go to general...

Are there any glow free 24 inch monitors beyond the $1200 cx241 ? - exact calibration is not necessary; the monitor will not be used for photo-editing but rather lots of reading and some light gaming. Sadly I find the glow impacts reading more than other sort of work (esp when the room is...

gone gone gone.

I'm looking ot upgrade my 2500k system to a haswell. I'll be going with a single gpu (r9 390 or whatever can drive a 1440p reasonably well). - What I would like from the board is reasonable number of fan headers; very good audio (most have decent audio but a few seem to have issues); very...

My 2500k system has a few minor issues so I am going to upgrade it and the question is am I better off going with skylake ior haswell refresh for single gpu solution (gtx 980 or amd equivalent). If I go with haswell refresh I can reuse the ram so that is a slight plus. It was not clear to me if...

Anyone used both of these cases; if so any comments - this would be for a gtx980+mini-itx+i7 system. - I prefer the elite 130 full size optical bay (the 450 has no optical bay; the sg10 a bay for a thin drive). I don't need much in hd bays - 1 hd and 1 ssd (or maybe just 1 large ssd).

Has anyone compared these two monitors. If so any comment on difference in image quality and suitability for gaming ? - I do realize one is 16:10 24inch and the other is 16:9 27 inch.

I'm looking to replace my 2209wa which max brightness has faded quite a bit making it usefulness borderline The primary application is gaming; but I'm not overly sensitve to lag. I'd like the size to be between 22inch and 27inch. I currently have a 7950. - First I thought about getting another...

[SALE PENDING] For sale TF700 tablet.; I've upgraded to a larger form factor so this is up for sale. It is not rooted and in perfect working condition (used lightly over the past year or so - i purchased when it was first released). Asking $170 - includes tablet box and charger. Sale limited...

Does anyone know much about this monitor ? I realize it is not ips and pwm free; but what about other qualities (colour, lag, stand quality, backlight bleed). It seems to have a display port for $420 (which is $180 less than the benq) but is it simply a qnx2710 with a new panel (high lag, crappy...

Has anyone compared the LG27EA83R-D and VP2770; if so any comments how they compare to each other and the less expensive QNIX ? Usage would be combination of gaming and photos. They monitor would need to have a display port (QNIX version with display port is said to have more lag) and prefer the...

I'm going to build a system with 55watt cpu (g2020) and 1 ssd and one external dvd/rw: - How do I figure oout the actual power usage (size of psu required) ? Is a 55 watt cpu max power draw of the motherboard/cpu or average ? I presume this build will require around 70watt max and average of...

(this is a duplicate from cases - sorry for the duplicate i'm not sure which forum is correct) I'm looking for a tiny case that isn't too expensive. The requirements are the following: Must have a slot for dvd (or slim dvd) drive. If pre-built system (like intel nuc) it must have vga or...

I'm looking for a tiny case that isn't too expensive. The requirements are the following: Must have a slot for dvd (or slim dvd) drive. If pre-built system (like intel nuc) it must have vga or dvi (which can be adapted to vga) - So far I'm thinking the following: Intel b75 (or z77 if I...

I currently have a 2209wa and 2311H; the latency and coating on both these monitors are fine but the 2209wa has weak blacks and the 2311H does not do a very good job of displaying photos (though some folks have suggested it is the SB built in gpu that is mucking up the colours). - In aother...

The dell U2711 is on sale for a decent price. I currently use U2311H (mostly for web browsing and video ) and 2209WA mostly for games. I find that for photo editing the 2209WA is much better than the u2311H (cant' explain why but photos just don't look right - almost too much dithering on the...

I believe this is a reference design; it is a bit loud on system startup; et all. It is approx 2 years old (I can provide a precise purchase date if needed). It has no known issue and I've never overclocked it. It likely can be unlocked but no promises as I've never tried. - price is $135 -...

I'm curious if anyone has a 7950 in a pc-9f. I was looking at the gigabyte 7950: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112304&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687 - The LIAN LI PC-9F supports the 285mm...

If i don't intend to overlcok and am upgrading from the 6950 which 7950 is the one to get with regards to reliable, not too loud, reliable and good bang for the buck. This is the one I've been thinking abuot...

So quite a few folks have picked up the note ii; but not all note ii are created equal :) Which one did you buy and what vendor addition or subtraction do you like or dislike ?

I have an asrock z68 extreme4 motherboard. The software tools indicate that at idle the cpu is around 30-35c and the mb is in teh same range (around 35c). However, if I place my fingers on the V8 heat sink (I believe this covers the z68) it is quite hot. Unfortunately I only have touch to go...

I'm building a new system and want to use the internal gpu of the 2500k. - I do not intend to overclock so overclock performance is not too relevant (I'm using the 2500k because it is cheaper than the 2500) - I wanted the following features: 7 or more sata ports (2 raid 1 volumes; system...

For the h67/z68 boards is display port required for resolution > 1920/1280 (i.e, 27 and 30 inch monitors) ? I've been looking a various boards - the full size asrock pro3 looks interesting 'cept that it does not have display port. The micro version has display port but only 1 pci slot (I...

I'm looking for an inexpensive motherboard that has display out and pci slots. I prefer full size but micro atx might be ok. The H67 seem to run around $100 but none seem to have display out (perhaps I missed one?) and the micro-atx boards seem to not have pci slots. - The z68 asrock extreme 4...

I have an old e6300 system with a 7300 GS. This set up worked fine @ 1280x1024 (19 inch monitor) but struggles with a 23 inch 1080p monitor. - I've been thinking of upgrading to 2500k/h67 or z68 to improve the graphics capabilities and reduce power usage. - How are the built in graphics for...

Has anyone tried the Lian Li PC-U6 Cowry. Kind of pricey but looks cute. http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=573&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=62&g=f

I went ahead and picked up a : MSI P67A-GD65 LGA1155 at my local microcenter last night but the more I read about it the more tempted I am to return it. -- My concern is that there seems to be some reports of buggy bios and voltage jumping up and frying components (vid cards/cpu). There...
