First half controlled by City and second half was all Liverpool. Both sides could've easily clinched the winner on a different day but on balance City came the closest and got quite unlucky. I feel like (for once) the refereeing went in Liverpool's favour. Apart from one blatant Liverpool...

EDIT: I don't mean 'Used' but rather sold as new/like new I'm a long-time Android user but my S8 has suddenly conked out. I want to give Apple a try now they finally implemented decent cameras and 120hz displays (13 Pro). I've spent days researching all shops, MusicMagpie etc and all 2nd hand...

I have an almost identical use case to you so I might try 3800/16 and see if I can run it at something low like 1.40v. To save me trying and getting frustrated with the trial and error, is it worth trying something like 4000/16? From my understanding the kit I have should run things like that...

I got rid of the Crucial kit immediately since I was able to recoup all the costs. I didn't get round to testing any OC on that kit as I really didn't have the time. From the results I did get, it seems that the Crucial would perform similarly if I managed to get it stable at 3600/14 -- however...

So I received the new kit and I did some tests with stock XMP, and then more tests with a manual OC using mostly DRAM calculator values. All tests were of course done in identical conditions, even down to the ambient temperatures in my room being similar each time. OLD KIT: Crucial Ballistix...

Pinging you both in case you're interested in the results below

Glad to hear it! Are you sticking with the Vision then? I've actually ended up with an Asus board too. Extremely happy with it minus the BIOS fan control which seems clumsy and a huge step down from MSI.

To be honest I just wanted a solid 3600MHz kit to set XMP on and forget about it. But since it ended up a lot cheaper I've now got a créme de la créme overclocking kit - so I may as well at least put a few hours into tweaking it. I've tinkered with and overclocked everything else but never...

I see, so would I be better off running it at something like 3600 or 3800MHz at CL16 instead? I'm assuming there should be zero stability issues with a basic overclock on a RAM kit as highly acclaimed as this.

Yeah the crucial kit is fine and would probably OC decently well. But the single rank vs dual rank alone should in theory make a pretty notable difference. I'll do a few synthetic tests and find some games with built-in benchmarks before the new kit arrives and then compare to the new RAM at...

I've watched a lot of videos and there are widly different results out there, but even at 1440p it seems the difference could be still up to 5% depending on the game. Personally now I have a 5800x I want the peace of mind that it isn't being bottlenecked whatsoever by something silly like mobo...

Ah excellent thank you. I'd never read that before, only that samsung B-die is the 'best'

I mean I know prices have inflated but £200 is nowhere near a budget board. Budget B550s and X570s sell for below £100 now as they should, with B450s at the £50 mark. I've never spent more than £80 or so on a board before so for £200 I'd expect close to perfection, at the very least no glaring...

I'm personally torn between the Unify X and the X570 Tomahawk. I'd get the Unify easily but I keep reading people complaining about coil whine - have you experienced any?

I'm looking at swapping out to this RAM kit which is CL16, 3600MHz, Samsung B-die and should be dual-rank -- so it ticks all the boxes. Do you know about this RAM and if it's guaranteed to be dual-rank? It's well worth the swap to me as I got my current set at a fantastic price and a friend...

Yeah fair enough. I've heard lots of complaints with issues on newer Gigabyte boards so it's possible their QA has slipped more recently. I'd go with an Asus board in a heartbeat but all their boards puzzlingly lack USB-C front panel and many have only 3 fan headers despite being £200+ boards...

All you need to do is install MSI Afterburner and do everything within that software. Don't be afraid to tinker with it as you can't damage the card in there (except make sure you don't manually set the fans too low and overheat the card). Generally you might want to boost the core clock a...

If your limit is £300 then you'll need to wait a bit longer for a worthwhile 1440p card I'm afraid. LHR 3060 Ti's aren't too much above that price at the moment, nor are 6700XT's. I wouldn't get anything less powerful than these cards for 1440p. It won't be a good investment and you'll find...

I just realised my 2x16GB set of Crucial Ballistix CL16 3600 RAM is single rank. I'm using a 5800x at 1440p so I'm worried I'm losing performance from this, in some benchmarks I've seen the hit could be pretty significant? Should I try switch to a dual-rank 2x16GB kit, or maybe 4x8GB...

My mistake, I meant smaller (x1) PCIe lanes and I never realised until right now that you can plug PCIe x1 devices into PCIe x16 lanes without any adapter. About time I discovered that! I'm well aware of competitor boards, have done extensive research, the Vision is well worth £190 for the...
