True, and there is a very small chance the new DDR5 boards will support 1151 sockets. Perhaps AMD might make some AM4 DDR5 boards - depends on how quickly they adopt DDR5.

From what I can tell he already knows that. I would say build your system for purpose. If you're using a 2060 then you won't be running 100fps on tripple A games. Do you want to build a system where the CPU right will be better than the GPU and have that be upgraded? Then go for an 3700x and a...

How often do you upgrade your hardware/ What's the length of time you want to use this setup for? What is your usecase? Gaming, streaming games for your friends? Do you have a lot of things in the background, such as lots of tabs of internet browsing, youtube, twitch? Do you watch videos while...

Just want to be absolutely sure you're using the x570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi and not the x470 ROG Crosshair VII Hero WiFi. Because if you are on the x570 then Ryzen 3000 series is natively supported, while with the x470 you need to update your BIOS first. Regardless, you can try to update...

You want to find RAM with a lower CAS Latency (CL). You can get a pair of 3200MHz CAS 14 for roughly the same price. For G.Skill you should search for F4-3200C14D as part of the part number. Their price differs a bit from area to area about which is cheaper. You also needer a bigger SSD. For...

Task Manager of ram block 1 When I tried switching ram blocks today the second one would not let my computer boot, even after the same battery removal etc. method. I guess something happened to the ram stick somehow.

Yeah, I meant slots 2 and 4. The thing is... It worked before I switched the cooler. I've been running this hardware for months. I have no idea what the heck happened that changed my ram settings, or why it won't boot with 2 ram sticks now.

Depends what you normally use your monitor(s) for. Do you currently run a dual monitor setup and really enjoy it I would say go for a super ultrawide 32:9 5120x1440p (120hz). If you only use a single monitor the 21:9 ratio monitors deliver some of the best options of the market. Personally I...

Given the 2070 super and 2080 are roughly the same you have the power you need for a pleasurable gaming experience. I judge this from my own ultrawide gaming on a 2080. Personally I rather have a bit better graphics and fall to around 100 fps than lower and stable 144hz. I want to ask you if...

I didn't know to check for the fequency after doing that, thank you. It had changed to 2166 for some reason. Now I can get the computer to turn on with 1 ram stick in slot number 2. I have also tried the other ram stick in the same slot, and it also boots. However, trying slot 1 and 4 it does...

That is the setup I use, yes. At the moment the second ram stick is removed to try and troubleshoot. When I place it back in the fourth slot it gives me a DRAM error.

Forgive me if you think the topic should just stay closed but I have the Samsung CRG90 and use it for gaming so I think I can give you a few tidbits of information that should be helpful. Trying to game on it with full 5120x1440p is very GPU heavy as you already know. Some games will be much...

I just changed my Ryzen CPU cooler from the wraith cooler to a Corsair H100i. Following the change my computer no longer boots. At first it showed a DRAM error, then when I unplugged one of the ram blocks it now says boot error and is stuck on that. At one point it also said VGA error, but that...

I do not know much speakers, so I don't know the actual name of the connection type. They have a left and right connection where I use a copper cable with exposed wires to connect them directly.

Hey guys. So, 5 years ago I bought a pair of JBL CST 55 and I am generally very happy with them. My problem is, that my amplifier gives a low hum that I can't seem to get rid off. The amp is old, so it is probably a problem with the transistor. Now I need to either get a new amp or to somehow...
