    Question Laptop gives inconsistent FPS and GPU memory clock ?

    Hi, i recently bought a second hand ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop off ebay. The description didn't mention any performance issues the only downside was the screen scratches which didn't bother me. When the laptop arrived, it had fresh windows reinstall and after installing drivers I went and ran...

    Question Need advice on upgrading

    Hi, i am currently using an rtx 3080 with a ryzen 5 5600. I recently upgraded to a 4k 240hz panel and as expected, the frames drastically changed from 1440p. Since I like to play graphic demanding games (gow, cyberpunk etc) and also fps shooters, I think it's time to upgrade so that I can...

    Question Opinion on pairing RTX 3080 w R5 5600?

    Hi, i tend to use my pc for fps and story games every now and then but I could never tell whether or not my graphics card is fully utilised. Recently, I was given an offer I couldnt refuse for a second hand 3080 and it's worked really well. My point is that I can't judge if I am missing out on...

    Question NZXT Kraken X53 AIO - Connect cable to cpu_fan or aio_pump connector?

    Hello, this afternoon I completed my upgrade build switching from an old i5 6600k with z170 pro gaming mobo to a b550 a-pro with a ryzen 5 5600 chip. My old motherboard didn't contain an aio pump header until the following upgrade. The systems thankfully functions perfectly however the nzxt fans...

    Question Best mousepad for £30 at most?

    I strongly need suggestions of mousepads that fall within the £30 budget. I don't aim for aesthetics, I want it to be the smoothest and most effective when it comes to playing fps titles and such. I also prefer it to be with the dimensions of 900mm x 400mm. Thank you. :)

    Question RGB lighting not working on Corsair fans ?

    I purchased a pair of Corsair SP140 fans including the lighting node core. When I built my pc 4 months ago with the exact fans, I still had the pc case completely open because I was unsure whether everything was plugged in, so I decided to boot up the pc to find out. At first everything was...

    Question Need advice to choose

    With the current build and monitor, you are well better off with buying the rx 6600 to run 75fps+ at 1080p, however I wouldn't reccomend it if you'll upgrade to a higher resolution and refresh rate, which in that case I would reccomend the 6500xt which should bring over 30% higher fps on most...

    Question I5 13400f or i5 12600k

    Current budget: £300 I don't mind paying at pre owned state. Mainly will focus on playing video games, cpu intensive and gpu intensive. I do not currently have hands on an lga 1700 motherboard, therefore that will also have to fit in the budget list. I appreciate your time and help!

    Question I5 12600k or ryzen 7 5800x?

    I totally agree with your point, however If I'm honest I don't think I will have further intentions of upgrading the cpu after the i5 12600k. I bought the i5 6600k chip in 2017 second hand and had it Overclocked as much as possible since, still alive somehow lol. My point is, I would do the same...

    Question I5 12600k or ryzen 7 5800x?

    Looking at the site the i5's single threat speed is so much higher, which I really like. Don't get me wrong, I've always been a Intel fan boy but what concerns me about the i5 has 6 performance cores and 4 efficient. If you think about, I will only be using the 6 cores because as I mentioned I...

    Question I5 12600k or ryzen 7 5800x?

    Upgrading from an i5 6600k. I'm intending to upgrade mainly for videogaming, not interested to use it for Video editing or such. I have a budget of £300, I'm looking at pre owned cpus and mobos and I found a solid b550 strix-f with the Ryzen both costing £250, whereas the Intel and b660 prime...
