    AMD B650 - how important is the motherboard QOL list?

    Hey everyone, Hopefully quick question: I'm likely to be getting a B650 board and a 7800x3D, but one thing I'm confused on is RAM. With my current setup (Z490/8086k) I've never felt my RAM was very compatible (XMP has never worked) with my motherboard and I don't think the RAM is on the QOL...

    Are AIO GPUs Effective?

    I was running one of these for quite a while: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-tech-labs-240mm-kraken-extreme-vga-cooling-upgrade-bundle-premium-black-shroud-bu-085-tl.html I would really highly recommend this to anyone with a little experience installing coolers/etc. It's not stupidly...

    Performance degredation with AIO watercoolers? :)

    How do you have the tubes orientated? According to Gamers Nexus, if you have the tubes orientated upwards (above the block), you'll get less performance and a buzzing sound from the pump since gravity is pulling the water down away from the tubes, creating an air gap. If so, you might be able to...

    GamersNexus Arctic Freezer II 280 review

    Thanks for mentioning that! I Got an x63 recently and I'm having to run CAM literally just for the pump speed :/ I'll check it out!

    1080Ti FE - Worth repasting?

    https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-tech-labs-240mm-kraken-extreme-vga-cooling-upgrade-bundle-premium-black-shroud-bu-085-tl.html Can highly recommend one of these kits for anyone on a blower-style card. Had my Titan XP at about 44oC (basically a 1080ti) and my 2080ti at 50oC max :) Easy to...

    Can I get any more out of this memory?

    Hi everyone, First of all I have this RAM: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team-group-vulcan-tuf-gaming-alliance-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-28800c19-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-blac-my-0a3-tg.html I'm also generally crappy at at RAM and trying to get better at it... :/ I have DRAM at 1.35v, VCCIO and...

    1080Ti 4K?

    The 1080 is quite memory bandwidth bound at 4k, so I would 2nd the suggestions to run below 4k. When I had a 4k, I used to run most games at near max settings at 2.5-3k most of the time :) Or time to pick up some older games... Looking forward to playing Dead Space again when I get an LG...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    B Grade was not there when I bought this! Got it when it was 650, so not too terrible I guess :P I've been working from home today on this monitor and regarding the text rendering, I think it's more or less the same as my BL3200PT. With my work Surface Pro 4 sitting next to it, the text...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    I have a BL3200PT at my parent's house and recently got the 850g for my girlfriend's place to have a monitor there. I can't say I've noticed a massive difference in text rendering between the two panels, but I haven't had a massive amount of time with the 850g so far. The 850g does have a tiny...

    Why is my 6700K CPU's speed lowering to 1.75ghz under load?

    Might have to agree too. I have a 6600k in a mini ITX board. While it's happy to play games all day at 4.4ghz with pretty low temps, if I actually try and stress test 4.4ghz I'll get similar drops with pretty low CPU temps. I think I have to drop it back to around 4-4.2 to get it to stress test...

    Help! PC keeps booting up on its own - Do I have a ghost?

    I don't have much information to add, but I've read through a few threads in the past (on other forums/sites) that suggested it was Windows waking the PC up (Windows update maybe?). I think the person had to force disable a certain service in command prompt every few months to get his PC to stay...

    My 1080ti is too loud!

    I've got a Titan XP (2016) and I had it on the stock cooler for a while. I also had a 1080 and a 980 on the stock coolers before swapping them out with the Acellero Xtreme coolers. I've got an Acellero Xtreme IV on the Titan P at the moment and I've actually got one of the closed loop Kraken...

    3770k and PC21300/2666mhz DDR3 - normally feasible?

    Hi everyone, I've recently got 16GB of PC21300/2666mhz RAM to use with my 3770k. However, I've found that I am unable to get it to POST at 2666, the most I can get away with is 2200. Edit: The feedback I've got elsewhere suggests to live with what I can get out of the IMC and tighten the...

    Question about 5770 with handle

    As far as I'm aware, they should work in PC fine. I used to work in a CeX and we'd buy them in normally — some of them you can unscrew the 'handle', some of them you cannot :)

    GTX980 SLI or GTX980ti for single monitor 1440p gaming..

    I run a single 980 for 2k@60hz, but I do have to make a few compromises. Witcher 3 I had bring down shadow detail and turn off a few settings and it's mostly in the 55-60fps range. That's with it OC'd with a custom cooler and bios to about 1570mhz though! I was thinking of getting a 980ti, but...

    Good £900ish under TV build - is there anything I can change?

    I don't see any point in going with Haswell unless the processors are significantly cheaper and DDR4 prices seem reasonable now. That and it's a small build, so Skylake should be a little better for this. Bit frustrating to pay £110 for a motherboard, but there doesn't seem to be many other...

    Jump from 1080p to 1440p or 2160p?

    Do any of the monitors you've mentioned have anything other than 1000:1? To me, that is worth a lot more than 4k :P The TFTCentral review basically tells you everything, though I think the input lag is less than the review suggests; apparently using display port with the monitor slightly...

    GTX 970's in SLI (Power Consumption)

    I think I pulled 500w max running 980 sli. Your 850w will be fine :)

    Jump from 1080p to 1440p or 2160p?

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-099-BQ Forget about resolution and PPI, static contrast ratio will make literally everything look better. This monitor sports around 2500:1, where mostly everything else is around 1000:1. (and increasing static contrast ratio requires 0%...
