Could you talk bit more about how it feels more like a 3x setup? I'm trying to figure out if I can fit more charts that is still readable on 2x 27" or 1x 49". Thanks!

Hello again, I work full time in IT where my current setup is one 27" IPS 1440P and a 32" 4K IPS screen. I am going to get rid of the 32" 4K Panel because I have just never been happy with it all these years due to my poor eye sight. The 27" @ 1440P is just perfect for my eyes without having to...

I currently have a Monoprice mount for 2x 27" 1440P monitors. I would like to purchase a Samsung 49" as 3rd monitor to stack above the 2x 27" as I like to daytrade so want to monitor charts. I have a standing desk so would like something that clamps to my desk. Issue is most mounts I have seen...

Bump, anyone?

Please delete thread.

Sold to /dev/null! I do have one more code available but still debating if I want to sell yet or just redeem for my self. I would want $40 to let the last one go.

Replied to, thanks!

Hello, I have one Digital code available for Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch. Price is $40 firm. I prefer Venmo if possible. Heatware is under ZzBloopzZ or eBay ID is under bestself. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I ended up calling the maintenance people again and they did me a favor and replaced the one GFCI Breaker in the panel for the office with a new one. Issue has been resolved. However, I was just looking at it yesterday and realized it is a 20A GFCI breaker, before it was a 15A...

You selling the ER-X? Is it stable overall? Was the upgrade to the ER-12 worth it in terms of performance? Thanks!

Understood. I can't wait to own my own place someday and do the same! Are your PSU reviews tested on 15A or 20A? I was just able to order a Corsair RMx 750 which should be back in stock and shipped end of next week. Figured I would try a different brand and lower wattage to see if that helps...

Do you also think a new PSU might fix it or should I push the building management to see if they can replace the breaker for the bedroom? At this point seems easier to replace PSU, if does not fix it I can just return it and since it's 7-8 years old and has been always on all that time thinking...

Wow, thank you for the response! I really appreciate it. Sadly, I don't know a single soul out here and closet friend is 2 hours away. I do know the kitchen, which is on 20 amps has a outlet with those test/reset buttons in the middle. Should I try testing the computer on that outlet or would...

Hello [H], I just moved to an apartment (built in the early 2000's) and having the strangest issue ever. Within 1-2 seconds of pushing the power button on my desktop, the circuit breaker kicks off and cuts power to the entire room. I then have to go to the circuit breaker and reset it. For...

Thanks! I am building a 3700x rig tomorrow, first time AMD since Athlon XP days. Going to try X method. I’m sorry but what a terrible video. Look how sloppy he puts the thermal paste and writes a note to do it better, he could have easily done it better since he already did it over 100 times...

Does the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports fit properly with the Asus X570-Plus? I know at least that the cooler will fit fine in my Fractal Design R4 and my Crucial 3600 Cl16 kit (https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/bl2k8g36c16u4b) which has smaller heatsink. Thanks!

I've heard about coil wine, which can be an issue on another item I have been eyeing which is the, Lenovo Y27q-20, the top 27" 1440P 144Hz screen. Going to hold off for a sale maybe towards the holidays but until then hope I don't run into it. Is it a high pitched whine or more subtle? i want a...

Good point, I will just save money and stick with the R4. Thank you so much. I keep forgetting about opening the door if ever needed. Great tip!

Hello [H], I have started researching as I plan to upgrade my trusty old i7 2700k (from 2012) to most likely an AMD 3700x. It appears that newer CPU's really benefit from being cool to reduce throttling. The only heavy duty task will be gaming, 1440P @ 144Hz. Otherwise I browse the web and...

Oh wow, good to know. If I upgrade to a new mobo, can I use my old cases USB 3.1 Gen 2 header for the front USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 to use as USB 3.0? Meaning is it backwards compatible?

Oh wow, did not know B550 is around the corner. I will wait a bit then. Maybe pick up some RAM if there is a good deal on the low CL stuff. Yeah, seems everyone swears by MSI for AMD.

Hello [H]! I have been contemplating about finally upgrading my i7 2700k rig, honestly it has been perfect for my needs up until now due to the fact of jumping into gaming again after a decade. After much research, I have settled on the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 for the CPU which was a pretty easy...

Wow, had no idea about the Intel NIC's. Thanks so much. In all honesty, over the years have had Realtek and Intel Gbit NIC's and never any issues that I could tell.

Great write up Jeremy. If they were the same price and available would you have gone Asus, Gigabyte or Asrock? Thanks!

Now also looking for a Logitech G305 Wireless mouse. Just got back into gaming after a decade and with my current desk layout keep snagging on the cord of my old MX518. Found mouse elsewhere.

Awesome, thanks! I am so out of the loop. Just got back into gaming last week after 10 years and it has brought back my passion for hardware in general. Trying to catch up in my knowledge. I'm blown away how well these AMD CPU's are for the price from last 2-3 years! Waiting for the 4000 series...

Hello, Depending on the price and how much it has been used, I am looking to purchase a WD 1TB SN750 NVMe SSD. Looking for a reasonable price, otherwise will just pick up a 1TB WD Blue SN550 new for ~$100 after tax and cash back sites later today. This is a low priority as I plan to purchase...

Free bump. I'm a total idiot and realize I have a crappy RX 560, not the 570.

I have a RX 570. I have never overclocked, mined or even gamed with it before. Bought because I needed DP to power my 32” 4K screen. Out of loop, how much do these go for used? I’ll let you know brand and exact one when I get back home tomorrow.

I have been research all week about this. For gaming, seems that 144Hz actually does make a difference. I was skeptical but tried it at a friends, and gosh I have been itching for one ever since. Seems the sweet spot for quality and higher Hz right now is 27" 1440P 144Hz. Seems one of the best...

Thanks for pointing this out. I agree 100%, I have to use scaling for my BenQ 32” 4k IPS. It is a gorgeous monitor but I regret it as I thought for productivity it would be fine but actually outside of the no flicker and blue light reduction, I liked my older 2x 24” 1920x1200 setup for...

Free bump. Looks like that Crucial may be your best bet. Same price at Newegg too...

Great deal. I have a similar board from almost a decade ago for ZFS storage server. It has been rock solid. What AMD ECC setup did you end up going with and was it worth it?

Hello, I am looking for a Lenovo T480s laptop. It needs to have the following: - Under warranty until at least 2021 - Touchscreen - Backlit keyboard - Great condition - Good battery life I'm in no rush. FYI, these were on sale Brand-New from Lenovo last month for $674.10 per Slickdeals for...

Router is in 2 rooms over, but a huge oak dresser is in the way so I feel that is why it is low signal. Just want to get an ewer adapter and put it above dresser. The current adapter it is using is old G from like 8+ years ago haha. Will just follow Brian's suggestion and get basic one then...

What is a good USB Wireless adapter for a desktop? I would prefer one with an external antenna. A dresser is in the way of the computer and the Router so would be great if there is one that has a cable so I can put it on the dresser with antenna on there to get best signal. Cousin has Wireless...

Dear Xaeos, Thank you again for your extremely informative and simply insightful post. It amazes me the wealth of knowledge that people give out on forums, you are clearly passionate about this stuff. Thanks to you I am most definitely going to go with AMD. Either the RX 550 or 560. Looking at...

Dear Xaeos, First of all, thank you for such a long and detailed post. I am very grateful for you taking time to write out all this with incredible information. I do agree that I would rather go with current generation equipment so either a GT 1030, GTX 1050, RX 550 or RX 560 (Figured RX...

Wow, you are right the Phoronix GPU review definitely favors nVidia by far! Also, looks like nVidia will support 4K Netflix streaming but one would need minimum a GTX 1050 3GB+ RAM. Granted the screen I ordered is not HDCP 2.2 compliant anyways so the later is a moot point for me but may be...

Could you kindly go in more detail on why?
