Awesome! Thank you for the reply!

I am simply upgrading my CPU from a 265K to a 285K. Everything else is the same. Do I need to do a clean install of windows? Also, I know I will probably get an alert from the BIOs telling me something about the CPU being removed. Should I select "Y" or "N" for the question it asks? I can't...

No, it's an Asus, ROG Strix board. It is hard to find boards that have 2 X16 PCIe slots, especially white ones. My PC is all white so my choiices are limited. I have repasted my CPU and reseated the cooler block and it didn't help. But all of this started agter I went from Gigabyte X870 to Asus...

I have an NZXT 360 Elite RGB. I live in Alabama where it is always very humid, Winter and Summer. I keep my house around 72f year round. Whats funny is I recently changed motherboards from a Gigabyte x870 Auros Ice where my temps were in the 30s and 40s at Idle and 70s at load, to this B850...

ya, I figured I would have people ask me this. lol. Like I said in my post, I know I shouldn't be making an issue of it since I have had no instability problems, "however, I have heard of CPUs having their life shortened due to high temps and since most of what I have read indicates that 52c is...

My I7 9800X3D is consistently running @ 52 degrees c at idle. I have taken the AIO off and reseated the block with new paste but nothing changed. I have plenty of fans blowing in the correct direction. Everytime I open a browser my AIO fans spin up and it gets loud and annoying. I have tried to...

Now that I think about iy, it seems like I had to rename it. "gigabyte.bin" Google that witht your problem and see if that comes up.

I'm sorry, its been a while since I did this so I can't exactly remeber which method I used but it seems like I had to rename the BIOs file to some generic name in order for it to be recognized. If you google that you might be able to find it. I'm sorry I can't remember.

Celica, Thank you for your 2c and THANK YOU for being so mature and civil about how you said it. I have had so many people on these forums reply with condescending, holier than thou, replies that weren't necessary and it is nice to get a reply like yours.

Well, that is why I am asking the question concerning using an OLED vs an IPS. On an IPS if you turn on HDR in productivity mode it looks horrible. Probably not so on an OLED, but I don't know since I don't have one yet.

Just curious for those of you who might have an OLED and play games and do productivity too as to whether you have to switch HDR on and off in windows when you go back and forth from an office environment into a gaming environment and back? Just wondering since I am 50/50 games/office what I...

Mostly AAA games and some FPS. I am also a web developer.

This monitor has everything I am looking for except for the fact that it is a curved monitor. I've never had a curved monitor and unfortunately I do not live close enough to a place where I can go see one. I have searched for an alternative to this one that might have close to the same features...

I just built a new PC. See my signature. I have a ton of new games I want to play. I currently have a Corsair XENEON 315QHD165 and I like it well enough but I have been thinking about taking the 4K OLED plunge. My question is mainly to those of you who may already have the monitor mentioned in...

I have two wireless mice. That way, when the battery for one dies and I'm charging it I can use the other. The mystery is that when I plug the dead one into the charging cable and let the second mouse take over, I can't click on anything. The mouse pointer still moves, but nothing is clickable...
