    [SOLVED] Can I plug in memory with different speeds?

    Hi all, this should be an easy one. I bought my friend that lives on another country 16gb of corsair vengeance 3200Mhz and wanted to do a quick test to see I’d they are not defective. My wife has the same memory, but 3000Mhz. Is it safe to plug his into her 2 empty slots? I have a pair of...

    [SOLVED] Replace GPU regularly or wait until it no longer can sustain decent fps?

    Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the pc master race and I was wondering: Should I replace my GPU every 2-3 years or use it until it can't handle new games? This would depend on how much a GPU loses its value over time, which I don't have enough experience yet to know. If I sell my GPU 2-3 years...

    [SOLVED] NVIDIA Freestyle not working UWP Games

    I'm becoming aware now. I can only find posts about this from 2-3 years ago. I can't believe this is still an issue. That's a shame, I really wanted to play metro exodus with the sharpen filter.

    Hello Everyone, I keep getting an error message whenever I try to use Freestyle on a UWP game. I tried Rise of the Tomb Raider, Minecraft and Shadow of War, all downloaded through xbox gamepass. I tested it on borderlands 2 and CS:GO and it worked. Both games were bought on steam...

    Question Memory Frequency/ Latency for Ryzen 3000

    It seems like going above 3200MHz won't make any noticeable difference. What's bothering me is "Will spending extra $60-$80 on a CL 14 kit be worth it or not?". The extra money totally fits on my budget, I just wanted to confirm if it actually makes a difference.

    Question Memory Frequency/ Latency for Ryzen 3000

    Hello good people, I'm getting close to finishing my build. The last parts should arrive by next week and the only missing piece is RAM. I wanted to get a pair of Trident Z RGB (Neo, maybe?! If it ever comes out) 16GB. Problem is, I'm not very knowledgeable on how RAM works, and I wanted help...

    [SOLVED] 3700x vs 9700k for rtx 2070super

    Thanks for the reply, that was my line of thought until I saw today's sale. Just to give a little more context, the CPU+Mobo combo for AMD would go for CAD$724+taxes, and on intel it would be CAD$678+ taxes If I take cooling in consideration, then intel would be a little more expensive, but...

    [SOLVED] 3700x vs 9700k for rtx 2070super

    Hello good people, I'm building a new computer, and with the new ryzen launch, choosing a cpu is being a nightmare. I've seen dozens of benchmarks, but since all of them use a 2080ti, it's hard to tell how they will behave paired up with a 2070 super. All these benchmarks show the i7...
