    [SOLVED] New System for Intermediate Overclocking

    Haha, agreed. Noctua is unmatched in cooling, but their designing is less than desirable.

    That's a good cooler! You may want to stick with that one.

    Do you know the model of the AIO? Overall, AIOs have pretty good performance.

    [SOLVED] New System for Intermediate Overclocking

    The motherboard choice for an i5 is good, you can go cheaper though. You should be able to overclock fairly nicely with the current setup. If heavily overclocking, you may want a different CPU cooler.

    [SOLVED] GPU Upgrade from GTX 1070 OC

    RTX is far from a necessary evil in gaming. The 2070s are also not great performers when it comes to RTX and high details. The 1080 Ti still outperforms a base 2080 and only gets beat slightly by a 2080 Super.

    [SOLVED] Pc giving artifacts at startup

    If your PCI-e rail turns out to be the issue, try and RMA the motherboard. It is best to use the X16 slot.

    [SOLVED] Pc giving artifacts at startup

    https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2488-pci-e-3-x8-vs-x16-performance-impact-on-gpus It looks like performance is impacted slightly. I would think higher GPU loads would be more impacted. Is your motherboard still within warranty?

    Question Screen shakes in Games while moving mouse.

    Funny enough I have the same mouse at near the same DPI settings (I think 1200). Mouse can get pretty artifacty at times. Not sure, but the mouse may be near the end.

    Question Z390 Motherboard Reviews?

    Yes, for gaming. I have a 1080 Ti currently. Will be upgrading to 1440p 144hz (current 1080p 144hz). I am really going for the i9 to be more future-proof.

    Question Z390 Motherboard Reviews?

    Fair evaluation! I have considered Ryzen but the gaming performance wasn't as good.

    Question Z390 Motherboard Reviews?

    In all fairness, this is X570 vs. Z390 and MPG vs. MEG lines. Asus uses a different VRM design for the X570 boards. I appreciate the input, but I don't believe it scales in this situation. Sidenote, opinions on the 3900X?

    Sidenote, would you be willing to spend a little extra to get the 2080 super?
