    Question PG279QM or a AW3423DW?

    Okay so I'm needing some opinions on what I should do. Currently I have a PG279Q with some slight visual defects and need another monitor as my main. I'll still be using the PG279Q monitor as a secondary for productivity as I work from home 8 hours a day. The new one will be used as my main for...

    Question SSD/M.2 Recommendation and M.2 Questions

    Ah damn. That's why I asked though! Thanks for the heads up. Would you know of any alternatives or do you have any recommendations for me M.2/SSd wise? If I can stay near $200 and get 2TB that would be great but I think I'll have to be limited to 1TB. But I want a good drive all around that can...

    Question SSD/M.2 Recommendation and M.2 Questions

    I'm looking to get an M.2 or a new SSD to add as faster storage. I currently have Windows on a 500gb SSD and have 2 other HDD's for storage. It'd be easier to install an M.2 as I've misplaced my C70's second hard drive cage and would have to buy another sata cable as well - but if I could get...

    News Nvidia Confirms: RTX 3090 Performance 10% To 15% Faster Than RTX 3080 in 4K Gaming, Limited Supply

    Yeah the 20GB will probably come depending on Big Navi and I'm thinking they'll brand it as a Super as to not piss off the early adopters who got the 10GB model. I mean it'll piss them off anyway but it kind of clouds the room with smoke. I think they'll have to give it different branding for...

    [SOLVED] 20 GB VRAM 3080's?

    So I know there have been rumors/confirmations(?) that a 20 GB VRAM SKU for the 3080 exists but am trying to understand something. As far as I am aware (could be wrong), games aren't using even 10 GB VRAM (isn't it around 6?), so why would NVIDIA make a 20 GB version? Is it just for the "big...

    [SOLVED] Any way to fix this light spot on Monitor?

    I have an Asus PG279Q ROG Swift and I'm not sure if this is screen burn or backlight bleed (assuming the latter), and was wanting to a) Confirm what it is b) Find out of anyways to possibly fix this. There are two spots like this on the monitor. Both are near the bottom of the screen. Link...

    Optimal Airflow in C70 Vengeance

    So I wanted to verify a few things about case airflow and ask a few questions specific to my own situation as well.

    Does Deliding shorten CPU lifespan?

    I was considering buying a delided CPU off of SiliconLottery.com and was just wondering if deliding shortens the length of time the CPU will run/live. Or if it has the chance of doing so. Like would I be splitting the life of the CPU in two if I go with Silicon Lottery?
