Well I appreciate the confirmation, @CountMike Time to move forward :D

Hello again to this amazing community! My current storage drive (info in title), at some point about 4-6 months ago, we dark on me. Tried reseating the connection, cleaning, etc. and nothing. So I recently got an external HD enclosure that is USB3.0 connected, and when I go into the device...

Hey everyone, I had a question about the Acer NItro XV340CK (or really any monitor that doesn't rotate on the stand but is wall mountable) ability to rotate content from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format. It looks like while it is on the factory stand it is not able to rotate to...

Hey Lars! You're the wonderful person who put me in the direction of the LG CX48 when I posted a question a couple weeks back, so, thank you again! :D Also thank you greatly for that breakdown of feedback, those are literally all of my sticking points and I think I'm pretty much sold on...

Hey gang, Been researching around for a decent chunk of time at this point and here’s the situation: I’ll be driving the display with a RTX3080, i9-10900k, 64g ram, etc. Larger format and 4k are a must, as is 120 or greater hz, and a snappy response time. Like the ~$1300-1600 price range, but...

Awesome, thanks for the rec, Lars! I'm going to give it a read right now :D

I actually haven't considered any TV's up until this point now that you mention it. So I see this is g-sync friendly, 1ms response, 4k, HDR. Is the only difference here is it's 120hz refresh as opposed to a 144hz refresh? If that's the case then do they make similar tv's in a smaller size? the...

Hey TH Community, My display has fallen behind quite a bit and I'm looking to build out a pretty nice new rig over the next 6-8 months, I wanted to make sure I've checked all my options for monitors given what I'm looking for. As is always the case with computer hardware, I wanted to ask here...

Thanks for the help! @jsmithepa - I apologize again as I'm a bit of a newb with receiver tech, but I'm looking at where the cord connects to the receiver, and I've looked through the online user manual, but I don't see a breaker reset. What would it look like? do I need to pop the cover off?

Hey Tom's Community! Long story short, I spent basically the last 3 days running speaker cables in the walls/attic of my media room, and everything sounded great!... I went downstairs to make dinner, and when I came back up my receiver is off, and still as of now, has no response when pressing...

@Photonboy - Looks like you hit the nail on the head! I dropped the GPU clock and Mem clock offsets to low as they'll go, and all of a sudden, XCOM2 works without a hitch, and even more impressively DOOM launches without a hiccup, and I've probably spent 10+ hours trying to troubleshoot both...

This is the PSU I'm powering it with: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 1200W That said, oddly enough switching to my 1080p Monitor running a HDMI cable vs the 4k I was running to with a DP cable seemed to at least fix the constant 1-2 second slow downs of MGS5. XCOM2 is still crashing, but I'm I...

Hello Tom's Community! Thanks in advance for any help with this, you all are still the best out there. I recently (Last 6 months) upgraded my rig to the following specs: i7-6700K (set to default, but more below) Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 EVGA GeForce...

Thanks Maxalge, Will try tomorrow and let you know!

Hey Tom's Community, I have a Win10 machine that is a wee bit older (maybe 4-6 years), that was running 2x SLI Gigabyte Windforce 770GTX 4gb cards, and had been working great for years. I often will switch the HDMI out from the 2nd card to an HDMI cable going to the TV and watch movies that...
