Apologies, I quickly saw your mobo model and thought it was one of the models with the Killer chipset. The problem will be affecting all traffic, not just in Chrome, I just linked that Chrome forums thread for reference. For your model mobo, check the ROG GameFirst settings and try disabling...

It's either damage to one of the layers of the panel, or damage to the frame which holds the panel. Sometimes the frame or internals can twist, bend or squeeze the panel causing discolorations like you are seeing, and applying pressure temporarily counteracts it. Either way, the panel or the...

If you have space for a 48", an LG C1 would knock any other comparably priced monitors out of the park. Otherwise it's something like an Odyssey or a $$$ prosumer / professional panel.

Is it like this? View: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/p6kwc2/asus_tuf_gaming_vg279q1a_flickering_screen_help/ Unfortunately image flickering issues may be an intrinsic defect of that model of monitor...

Internet reports seem to indicate it's a flaw in a feature of the Killer network adapter's drivers. Turn off "Stream Detect" in Killer Control Center and see if that fixes things. Then try updating the network adapter drivers to the latest available on Asus site. :)...

Buying a true 10-bit panel (not 8-bit dithered) will cost you many moneys, what's your budget? My first thoughts would be Eizo, BenQ PhotoVue/DesignVue with factory calibration cert, etc. The RTings site has some good interactive monitor comparison tools and their tests are fairly analytical...

Are you using VGA because the TV doesn't support HDMI? Is your DVI adapter definitely pinned for DVI-I and is it active or passive? If your TV has a VGA port it possibly also has a DVI port, have you checked? Amazon sell an AmazonBasics DVI-I to VGA cable for a very reasonable price which is...

if you have a four-bay NAS with only two disks in it, the only way you'll be able to expand available capacity is by initializing the 18TB disk as a completely separate second volume in Storage Manager. There won't be any data redundancy or failure resilience. The second disk once initialized...

I had a similar conundrum to you last time. Despite having a PCI-e 3.0 motherboard (Maximus Hero XI) I still went for the 980 Pro, partly to have a free speed boost once I upgrade to a PCI-e 4.0 board. That, and the potential PCI-e 4.0 speeds attainable could max out my PCI-e 3 interface...

I went from an EVGA GTX1070 SC to a 3080 FE and the power draw requirements are significantly higher. I also replaced my PSU (went for a Corsair RM750) to avoid any potential PSU performance issues due to its age. I've had issues in the past with PSUs becoming less able to deal with transient...

Some pictures would help. By PCI-e adapter, do you mean a PCI riser cable like this, or something else like a power cable? Some photos demonstrating which components work and which ones don't would be helpful. Is your graphics card actually working, or is something else broken? Sorry, your...

What are your temps when this occurs? Have you run OCCT with some AVX workloads to log the per-core and TjMax values while benchmarking? It still might be power or secondary thermals given that excessive drop. I would be tempted to remove any AVX offset then adjust your motherboard's TjMax to...

No, generally GPUs are not repairable by repair shops as surface-mounted soldering ("SMD") is extremely tricky, and only extremely experienced engineers and electronics specialists who are familiar with the design of computer hardware and GPUs will even have the ability to even diagnose the...

Cache (uncore) between 300 to 500 MHz lower than clock is OK. In a perfect world you run both core and cache ratios identically at the cost of greater power draw. Are you using adaptive/offset voltage control or manual? Have you altered any other voltages? (VCCIO, VCCSA etc) If you try just...

Buying better thermally conductive pads and stacking will have a greater net benefit, I've used Gelid GC-Extreme which you can typically slightly over-size on thickness as their malleability makes them conform to half-mm variations. You certainly can't squeeze a 2mm down to 1mm though (ask me...
