    [SOLVED] New ground up build for 3080, Intel vs AMD for longevity

    Thanks for the input so far guys! Starting to sound like it's really not gonna make a huge impact either way for how I play honestly. I think im probably going to do a AMD build with a 3700X and a good X570 board like a Crosshair. Then I can get the PCI-E 4 SSD's now and have a good long term...

    [SOLVED] New ground up build for 3080, Intel vs AMD for longevity

    Nah I’ve already waited awhile for the 3000 series. And I want it ready for all the new titles coming out like Cyberpunk. I’ll probably just go Ryzen, do we know if Zen 3 is going to require a new motherboard? I’ll def never go past 120hz so worrying about that 10-20% is prob unnecessary.

    [SOLVED] New ground up build for 3080, Intel vs AMD for longevity

    Hi all, just looking to get some opinions on my upcoming build. My 3770k and GTX 970 have served me well for years but its time. I only do a build every 6-7 years so I like to get the best I can when I do so its pretty future proof. Will be primarily a gaming/standard computer shenanigans...

    Whats the best 27" monitor that isn't a U2711?

    Really strange stabilty issues (radom blue screens), help

    Ok, so I ran the small fft test overnight, no errors. The adata ram specs are 1600, 9-9-9-24, 1.65-1.85v. The motherboard auto sets it to 1333, 9-9-9-24, 1.5v. I figured if the ram is on the compatibility list from gigabyte the mobo would set it where it should be. Should I make any changes...

    Memory issues with new build

    Thanks, I thought I may have been pushing the voltages. I lowered the ram v down to 1.64, the pch to 1.2, and raised the vtt to 1.15. Ill try running the ram at 1333 with these settings. If i dont have any luck ill try 1066 at the stock voltages. Would I really not loose much running at 1066...

    Best Budget 1156?

    Easy question. Im looking for opinions on the best 1156 mobo under $150. Main use will be photoshop and graphics programs. Don't care about SLI, and overclocking is not super important, im mainly looking for stability. Thanks!
