If your case is full or mid Tower this might make sense. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/jonsbo-mx400-140mm-argb-cpu-cooler-black-hs-00n-jb.html But, ugh, it's pre order atm. I noticed the aphenfhon under performing the noctua p1 (passive) cooler in a review or 2 and consider that a red flag.

It's neverending the crawl for a better cooler, but this is cheaper and better XXXXXXXXXX Arggh, its the small one, scratch that.

1070 is solid, if you are staying 1080p, 1440p would definitely suffer somewhat, obviously you'll be looking hard at which settings you can afford to turn up or not. And you can wait out (maybe) this price bubble. I did a quick scan of reviews for the alpenfhon, they look kinda bad for the...

All looks good, what GPU are you driving? The non "G" ryzen am4 CPUs have no on board graphics to tide you over, and 650w will serve a rtx 3060 well, but a 3070 might need down volting if the psu is older and reduced in potential. Do consider the x-less 5600 too, it drops 1% performance but...

I missed this, ty for the heads up.

Just, try to make sure you get G sync or freesync on the monitor at 1440p because once the pc gets older, or if you are loving the ultra settings you wont get tears or locked to 30 or 60 when you are comfortably running somewhere between or above (near 45 or over 75). With DLSS and FSR That'll...

I feel like most of these systems are bidding low with the CPU, its a very CPU hungry game, like, legendarily. I guess the budget is an issue. I know I'm going to upset people, but at this budget i think xbox series x might be your best bet... i know what I'm suggesting.... I know!

Honestly, youtube videos of direct comparisons, which I know is garbage data mostly. eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwTiVj8vWPQ (this is 3300x vs 5600x, which has seemed to be stunningly close to the 5600) I can see the 5700x being a good move, but i guess I'll keep my eye on pricing as it...

I was looking at the new Ryzen 5600 as a relatively cheap drop in upgrade, but it doesn't seem like it manages to consistently makes games run better. I guess i have 2 questions. The 3300x seems to be punching over it's weight for games, is the 3060 served or is the CPU likely bottlenecking it...

I read that was looking like a paper release, meaning it'll get scalped to hell, but that said, I'm in no rush and happy to observe the inverse pc parts price bell curve for that sweetspot.

I built a 3300x into a x570 meaning with a when it came out absurdly cheap, even pre-ordered it months ahead like a madman, been meaning to upgrade to a "real" cpu for ages and send the 3300x to retire with my old gtx960 and hand it off to my family in a small case. But pandemic/chip...

I'm a fanatic of the fuma 2, which can handle 200w of heat output without spiralling so should easily allow for OC headroom but it would limit your future cpu upgrade options without replacing the cooler. Not because it'd throttle, though it'd just be running 10c warmer than a freezer 2...

What is the ram? or at least, what does it report as? That may be the cheapest fix for a machine growing sluggish during video editing, after a full clean install of windows and using winaero-tweaker.

"Have you tried unplugging everything and plugging it back in" is the right answer far more often than should be reasonable.

yeah, reseating everything from scratch might just strangely work.

I am expecting compromises, I'll read some reviews ty.

Can you 'move' the portion of the screen used? It seems like if it slowly bounced around the screen over the course of hours it'd be great for avoiding burn in?

Currently I was looking at the Gigabyte M27Q and the Dell S2721DGF. Both seem to have good colour reproduction and low smearing for their pricepoint. I'm pairing with a 3060gtx so I'll probably struggle to hit 165-170hz they are rated for with plenty of games, so I'm open to lower end...

Fading cmos battery cause the most mysterious problems. Seriously, just try it.

Heh, kind of inevitable how the summer (I'm being northern hemisphere biased) wakes up these issues. How are you observing that its overheating? If its the case being hot you probably need to either clear out fluff or replace a fan.
