    Best Wireless Mouse: Premium Gaming and Productivity Mice

    Doesn't the G-Pro wireless now have the 25K sensor? Or is it the same pixart sensor with a firmware update?

    [SOLVED] Is this pc worth it?

    Ah, bad luck with the auction. It's again a nice mid-high end system. Slightly stronger CPU and GPU but not by a huge amount. Will handle DaVinci a little better being 8 core instead of 6 and a there's a bit more juice from the 1070. It's on the steep side but they're probably only asking...

    Question MSI Z490 Unify - Unable to boot from m.2 drive after flashing latest BIOS

    Maybe I'm being retarded but I can't find how to edit or delete posts. (can edit this one but not main post)

    [SOLVED] Is this pc worth it?

    That's a much more capable system, if I can chime in. The 3600 is a fast six core CPU and will handle video editing pretty well. This is about as good as you can hope for at that kind of budget. Probably around £550- 650 worth of parts. It has a nice PSU and AIO cooler. Mid range motherboard...

    [SOLVED] Worth upgrading to 1440p?

    Valorant looks pretty good at 1440p. It was designed more recently with better resolution textures than CS. It can help you pick out some nice distance shots at times. I guess it all comes down to how seriously you think you'd get back into CS. I'd honestly struggle to play a lot of Games in a...

    [SOLVED] Need Help With Computer Suddenly Shuts down

    Could try downclocking the GPU in Afterburner, then doing something that would usually crash. Maybe try older drivers if desperate?

    Question MSI Z490 Unify - Unable to boot from m.2 drive after flashing latest BIOS

    * SOLVED * I just flashed the BIOS of my MSI Z490 Unify and suddenly I can no longer boot from my nvme m.2. It appears in board explorer and list of drives but not in either of the boot priority screens. I've tried rolling back to the original BIOS but I'm still totally unable to select m.2...

    [SOLVED] 1440p gaming build

    Looks pretty solid, they should get on OK with that. The 1660 super should do most games at 60fps+ @ 1440p, medium to high settings, and with Gsync active it will seem even smoother Bitwit 1660S 1440p review: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb0G5OnyT10 Price is slightly on the higher...

    [SOLVED] Computer starting then shutting down.

    Yeah that does look like an older PSU. That could be it. I'm guessing you've reseated your RAM and GPU gently? Tried alternative RAM slots? Maybe pull out CMOS battery and reset BIOS just in case?

    Question After moving my computer it has begun restarting at random

    https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2702-psa-on-mixing-modular-psu-cables-dont-do-it It's a long shot but I've heard of people accessing otherwise dead HDDs using a cheap (£20) drive enclosure. That's if there's any life left in the drives at all :/ Can you hear the disks spinning up? Any bad...

    [SOLVED] Can I overclock locked i3 9100f from bios?

    Might they be able to just lock all cores to turbo? That would be kind of worth it but I'm guessing might need a Z-board.

    [SOLVED] First custom build PC, Boots with no display

    Have you given it plenty of time in case it's training the memory? Can sometimes take a few mins after a hardware change and it's lead me to think boards are dead when they haven't been. (A simple, fool-proof way to reset the BIOS is to remove the circular CR2032 battery from the motherboard...

    [SOLVED] Just bought another stick of ram to upgrade to dual channel, the new stick has a different manufactuarer, die and part number, am I good or not?

    There's a small chance of errors down the line but you're probably fine if you keep an eye on things. I'd run Memtest86 and Prime95 (with large FFTs) just to give it a good stress test. If it passed that I wouldn't worry. I remember someone claimed to have mixed DDR3 from different...

    Discussion RTX 30 series GPUs dont have enough VRAM

    I know where you're coming from but I don't think it will have a big impact yet. I'm more worried for the guys still at 4GB or less. System requirements will slowly start to rise after the next consoles are released. They'll prob seem to be ahead on fidelity for a few months, as is usually the...

    [SOLVED] Just bought another stick of ram to upgrade to dual channel, the new stick has a different manufactuarer, die and part number, am I good or not?

    Thankfully default timings/speeds and XMP settings look the same on both modules. I guess if 16GB is showing up and you've run some stress tests then you're golden!
