Probably want to spend ~$700 and change or less. My two concerns with OLED are screen burn-in and brightness, as this desktop is the family desktop and is used for other things besides games... Basically I want to be able to get a really good picture for both games and standard use, and...

Built a new PC recently, have a Ryzen 7700x paired with an AMD 7900xtx. Looking to upgrade my decade-old Asus WUXGA monitor to something 4k. I don't want anything curved or ultra wide, and I'm not really interested in OLED ( I do like the Samsung QLED TV I have) - and I'm not sure what things...

Tried that, same issue.

@bill001g - thanks for all your help. I hadn't installed any kind of VPN software, so that wasn't it... But, I reinstalled Windows completely and now my bandwidth is back to full speed. I'm still reinstalling all of my applications, but am speed testing after each one in case one of them was...

I reinstalled Windows 11 last night (fresh install, wipe apps, keep files). I had previously set up with a Microsoft account, and so all my files are/were sync'd to OneDrive. I did set things to "keep everything locally", so all my files exist on the drive. However, this time around I...

Tried IPERF connecting from my PC to my Macbook - ~250 Mbps Tried IPERF connecting from my PC using Ubuntu LiveCD (same machine) to Macbook - ~950 MBps

Tried the newest driver from Intel, still no dice. Really frustrating given that Ubuntu on the same machine has full speed just from a live CD, no fiddling with drivers or settings.

I did try removing all Asus stuff, and don't see the file you reference... No change. To add a wrinkle, I booted into Ububtu on a USB stick, and ran speedtest from there, and got full 900+ Mbps up/down. So it's definitely a driver/software/Windows issue. I next tried to boot into safe mode...

Got a weird issue with my newly-built (Windows 11) PC and network speeds. I am using the onboard ethernet on my Asus ROG Strix X670e-f motherboard; using Oomla's Speedtest, I am only getting ~225 Mbps down and ~600-650 Mbps up, which is much slower than I'm getting other wired connections in my...

I thought of this - but from what I've read, 1440p looks like junk on a 4k monitor because of uneven scaling...

Hi all, Have had my new system going for about a month and the only component left I need to upgrade is my monitor. I currently have a very old 27" Asus WUXGA monitor (1920x1200)... My new build is running a Ryzen 7700x, 32 GB RAM @ 6000 mHz, and a Sapphire Nitro+ ATI 7900XTX. I want to...

Other than no RAID, how has your setup changed?

So I've just finished building my new system a couple of weeks ago and my next project is to turn to my backup strategy. I have an old WD 2TB NAS that I'm looking to replace with a new NAS (probably Synology or QNAP). We have multiple systems in our house (main desktop, Plex server desktop, 2...

Have a brand new build, been getting a periodic BSOD with the stop error DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Fresh install of Windows 11, so no upgrade considerations. Anyone see this before/have suggestions? Build specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Thermalright...

Just installed the phantom 120 spirit in my new build. The Spirit comes with a Y cable for the two fans, however my MB (Asus ROG Strix x670e-f) looks like it has 2 CPU fan ports unless I'm reading it wrong. I assume it's better to use the two ports rather than the Y cable? Just wanted to...
