    Question Should I buy Ryzen 2700X now?

    Agreed. If you have the right budget, the 3700X would be a good buy. In terms of price reductions, as we saw with the Pascal GPUs after the release of Turing, the reductions are far from instantaneous. I would recommend the 3700X with a sufficient budget unless you feel that waiting is to your...

    [SOLVED] Game recommendations for your old man.

    I believe Thrones of Brittania: A Total War Saga is a good strategy game for e.g. troop placement, strategy, etc. It's currently on Steam for £30 and was released early 2018

    Monitor not working properly at 144Hz

    There we go, using a new cable seemed to improve it. I'll keep you updated if necessary.

    Monitor not working properly at 144Hz

    Yeah, I was thinking of trying another DP cable. After all, this cable was one that came with the monitor and probably isn't of the highest quality. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

    I really need a solution to this, otherwise this is £400 that I've completely wasted

    Monitor not working properly at 144Hz

    I am using Firefox and I was when the monitor was working. Now it still seems jittery.

    Monitor not working properly at 144Hz

    When I got this monitor (Acer Predator XB241H) three days ago, I immediately set it to 144Hz. It has worked fine for browsing and gaming (it's been brilliant), but when I'm browsing now, it seems a lot less smooth. I decided to do this online refresh rate test (https://www.testufo.com/) and it...

    [SOLVED] Looking for a decent gaming 1080p 60Hz IPS monitor

    Hello, I'm looking for a monitor with the above description. I'll consider any monitor below around £350, though if it is a better deal for more, I'll also consider that. It is hard for me to look for monitors with this description as there are many monitors that fall into this category, so a...

    How to disable AMD Cool n Quiet?

    Thank you for all your helpful suggestions - I managed to overcome it via enabling and disabling Cool n Quiet between restarts. Now it's back to a steady 4GHz. Thanks everyone!

    How to disable AMD Cool n Quiet?

    At one point, while I was in the bios of my MSI X470 Gaming Plus, this setting enabled when I saved my settings. And now whether the actual bios setting says enabled or disabled for it, it is always on. My R5 2600 used to be locked on 4GHz, but now it goes really low and reduced my Cinebench...

    How to install a second fan to an air cooler?

    I have an Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE air cooler with one BioniX F120 fan, and I would like to install a second. When I get the fan, how would I install it? I’m pretty sure I have to take the cooler out. Thanks!

    How to run 30Hz Progressive?

    I'm trying to change my display (temporarily for a 30fps game) to 30Hz Progressive, but the only option in my settings is 30hz interlaced (which looks awful, and for good reason) and I tried making a resolution in the NVIDIA control panel, but it said "out of range" when I used 30Hz progressive...
