Hi all, I'm torn between these 2 monitors. Both are 1080p but I've read on a couple of places that 1080p on a 27inch makes the pixels much more evident. I set about 2 and half feet away from my monitor. These 2 are also almost the same price. I run a AMD RX580. I don't mind having 75Hz vs 144...

which screen would give me the best gaming performance? Image quality/ contrast. I'm running a AMD RX580 so 144Hz isn't super important to me, as long as I can game in the freesync range I'm happy. Which one will give the best image quality?

Hello all, I'm currently running a single channel memory module from Kingston. The memory currently installed is in a single channel config and the manufacturer number is Kingston Hyper-X Savage HX316C9SR/8. Now I'm looking to purchase another dimm module which is also a Kingston Hyper-X...

thank you i7Baby. Will do. And yeah I couldn't find anything on Google about something similar.

Thank you for the quick answer. Can you please tell me how do I add a picture of said problem to my thread?

Good day all the lovely members on Toms. December 2014 I bought an NVidia 970 GTX (MSI 4G gaming) and was all stoked up and happy, until the memory issue hit the news. I was content with the MSI 970 up until I started peering into my PC case and looking at my gimped 970 (about 2 weeks ago)...

Also a quicky. I've read on forums that your memory chips on the Dimms them self makes a huge difference, when it comes to overclocking said kits and that it's hard to find out what ICs will be on your sticks (like Hynix vs Samsung, where Samsung being the better option on overclocking). Now...

Hi mdocod. I can tell you 1 thing for certain. Let the facts speak for them self. I for one am open minded towards many a things in life, and one of those is knowledge (probably the biggest I'd say). It would be interesting to see if Toms shows any interest in this. One thing I hate is when...

@mdocod Hi mdocod Man oh man. That is most startling news indeed, the scaly, tricksy manufacturers! This is very big news. Maybe Toms's should do an article on this? To let more folks know about this bait and switch trick of theirs. Look I am not dumb when it comes to PC hardware, but I am no...

@mdocod Seeing that you seem to know your stuff, and with your answer in mind, I have 2 kits to choose from. Which one would you reccomend? As these 2 kits sits somewhere in between your recommendations. Option 1 G.SKILL RipjawsX, 8GB Kit(4 Gig * 2), DDR3-2133, 1.5V, CL9 (F3-2133C9D-8GXL)...

@mdocod That was a legendary response! You rock dude!

Good day folks. So I've read a couple of articles concerning memory speed, latency and the consensus seems to be, that if you are only going to use your PC for gaming (occasional Visual Studio Dev work) then one would not see an increase in Average FPS when going above 1600MHz speed. So...

Hi all. I'm looking to buy my first SSD, and man are there a lot of info one has to contemplate before making the final choice. So the budget is also pretty limited and I have 2 drives to choose from. Both are in the same price range. Option 1 Transcend SSD340 Series 128GB (JMICRON JMF667H...

Well ok then. The post about HT really helped! It seems I will be going with the cheaper i5 4690 and a bit more expensive mobo then(Z97 and not the H97, also know you can use the H97 for Broadwell), even though I wont be overclocking the cpu, i would like to have a mobo with sli support and an...

The K version is way too expensive here in South Africa. And I really dont think an extra 400Mhz is going to make any FPS increase in gaming...turbo boost is 4Ghz...
