As the title says, I recently built a new PC and the only issue I've run into are these small tears/flickering across the primary monitor wallpaper on boot up. If I look very closely on bootup, there are these very tiny 1" lines flickering across the wallpaper at random places. Not many but...

It did! Thank you very much for all your help

Any chance you can take a look at this and see if it looks ok? Case - Corsair 7000X full tower (already owned) GPU - 4070 Ti (already owned) CPU - Intel Core i7 14700k Motherboard - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X WiFI 7 (price is a bit high for a mid-range board @$300 and no gen5 m.2 but it's...

I'm not entirely familar with how using a PCI-E slot will impact the lanes between say that slot and the gpu. Most of the threads tend to be very old since using a soundcard isn't very popular anymore. If I buy a motherboard with 1x pcie 5.0 and 2x pcie 4.0 lanes, insert the GPU (rtx 4070 ti)...

Thank you for this! Summarizes a lot of the info around a ton of threads I've been trying to decipher over the last couple days

As the title says, I've been away from the hardware world for a while and could use some help. I'd like to upgrade to the i14700k but I'm having difficulty narrowing down the rest of the hardware. I'll list what I have that can be used toward this new build; CPU - i14700k (not bought yet) - I...

There are, but sound quality wasn't as high up on my priority list as other features and the ones that do add quite a large price point. Many of these tend to be ASUS boards and for stuff like the latest 14th boards tend to start around $450+. Since these boards are geared toward heavy...

I still haven't decided fully, but my main choice was Intel, the 14th gen but there's a lot of controversy lately around the APO.

I plan to upgrade my PC system very soon. Currently, the Logitech Z5500's are connected to an Asus Xonar Phoebus soundcard that has been giving a lot of issues. I used the 3 stereo-mini 3.5mm jacks to connect to this soundcard in 6-channel direct mode. The system also has outputs for Digital...

Beyond what I've been trying to research on my own, my experience in the field of audio-related stuff is very minimal. That said, I own some Z5500 with a Sennheiser 360 PC headset and I plan to upgrade my PC very soon to current gen. The sound system is great, I don't need the very current or...

Can you tell me what category these things tend to be found under in Device Manager? Searched through it and wasn't able to find the card but I'm not entirely sure what it may show up as either

I recently ran out of SATA ports on the PC I'm using as a server for my Plex Media Server so I decided to purchase an expansion card, specifically...

It has been driving me a bit crazy, I actually had no intention to upgrade until later this year but my pc has been struggling since I bought the 4070 TI to use on a decade old processor. I've actually made plans to test the GPU to see whether it isn't just a GPU problem that's causing random...

This has been very informative and what you've been saying is making more and more sense. I know I'm going off-topic here but I've noticed that I have in the past, and currently doing right now, getting wrapped up in the large number of available PCIe slots available on all of these boards and...

I see your point on the memory and storage and will definitely go with your suggestions. I've also read about this board and put it down on the list, but may I ask why it's not worth paying 400+ for a lga 1700? After further research, boards like the 480$ Asus also come with a 5.0 M.2 slot, I...
