That's the one yep. The new RAM isn't listed in the compatibility table but there is nothing to stop me testing it of course. My next upgrade will be Ryzen but with AM5 socket, I won't bother upgrading current CPU if I keep the 1600X when we are just one or two generations away from AM5...

Hi folks I've got a Ryzen 1600X system which I built 4 years ago, and have just inherited an i5 9600k system sans graphics card. I'm not going to keep both and wondered whether the performance differential should favour offloading the 1600X in favour of the 9600k for now? My usage is moderate -...

For Omega owners, do you rest the lumbar cushion on the base of the seat or do you raise it up a few inches and let your back keep it in place as you sit in the chair? I've left it on the base of the seat before now but am beginning to think its better for back health to pull it up a bit so it...

So I fiddled about with the fan curves to see how hot my Red Devil would get at idle with no fan intervention. Idle as in on desktop, only MSI Afterburner / Radeon software open, minimal interactions. It got up to 71 degrees C before it held steady (still no fan). Does that sound about right...

Incidentally, for other Red devil owners, can you get away with sustained zero fan action if you're just idling/web browsing in Quiet Bios mode (without having to alter the fan curve to accept higher idle temp than 60 degrees)? As per the image below I get periodic bursts of fans running at...

here's my 5700 xt folks

Thanks but I was wondering more about what an acceptable idle temp is as I'm running hotter than usual by deliberately manipulating the fan curve beyond default quiet thresholds.

Running a new Corsair H100i v2 on a Ryzen 1600X (stock speed, not overclocked currently) on Killer X370 board. I know the fans included with the H100i are known to be poor but I wasn’t expecting them to be THAT bad :( Replacement is the obvious fix but in the meantime I wanted to check...

@AsrockMB bit rich to claim an extra 'win' for the X370 Killer (against the competition) for on-board WiFi when that version isn't available here... otherwise it's a nice board. I bit the bullet and will stump up for my own custom wifi module at some point. just don't understand why Europe gets...

@AsrockMB can you confirm if the X370 killer sli/AC will be made available in Europe, or is it just a US thing? I can't see it listed anywhere...

Thanks - don't want that so have edited it out! Question remains for @AsrockMB - any chance of the X370 Killer mobo with wifi module included anytime soon? Anyone from overclockers able to comment if you'll stock it and when? Thanks

@AsrockMB can you tell me where I can find the X370 Killer SLI a/c in the UK? Every vendor seems to be selling the non a/c version, but I want the one with the wifi module included? Not everyone has a LAN connection available near their desktop... Very frustrating! cheers

DVI. But it is a DVI connection that is made via an HDMI cable with a DVI adaptor plugged onto the end. Using HDMI alone gives an awful picture. My results are pretty much on par with the screenshots posted earlier in this thread - its just that DVI, while being far far superior to HDMI, still...

im not getting the clearest picture i would like (Alienware M11x using HDMI to DVI convertor) - anyone know if using a DisplayPort to DVI connection is likely to be any better? Will also try installing cleartext as suggested elsewhere. its pretty good, but not 100% crisp text as i would...

thanks for your reply jpaul,, I might just try those options with the LG before I return it, particularly cleartext. Otherwise I'll get the Samsung. Incidentally, does anyone know if using a DisplayPort to DVI connection is any better than HDMI to DVI? My M11x has both HDMI and DisplayPort...

So I've recently acquired an LG M227WDP and planned on using it as an external monitor for my Alienware m11x, and also as a bedroom TV. Multi-function devices are perfect. Only, the m11x only has HDMI and Displayport out. HDMI was unusable, which I only discovered to be 'the norm' after...
