I’m upgrading from Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 5 5600X My MOBO is MSI B450 gaming pro Carbon AC I updated my BIOS to 9/1/2022 while the 3600 was installed using a USB drive My windows 10 is installed on a 1TB M.2SSD and worked fine last night with the new bios and the 3600 installed When I start...

I'm trying to make my PC quieter by adjusting my fan curves but I have turned off every fan and im still hearing the humm of a pretty loud fan (like louder than all the other fans put together) I have installed MSI dragon center to tweak the fan curves since it is easier than in the BIOS and...

My PC was built 6 months ago with brand new parts. I havent used any other GPU other than the 5700XT

less than 6 months old, bought new

Nothing is overclocked at all, is there a way to run a benchmark to check power consumption? I can run firestrike and post temps? but the temps look fine honestly..

Almost a year after this card has released and I still get daily BSOD with this card while playing games.. Games also frequently stutter and I cant watch anything in fullscreen on my PC without the FPS tanking for no reason.. Think i'm going to reinstall windows and if issues still remain I...

When I try to watch videos on VLC/Windows Media Player/Ace player and when I play League of Legends my FPS plummets when I fullscreen the apps. But when I window the videos/game the fps comes back. Games such as Mirror's Edge, Call of Duty and CSGO work fine fullscreened. Occasionally it also...

Cheapest adapter I can find in the UK is £95.. ouch The question is it worth to buy this and use a 5700XT over keeping the BenQXL2411 and buying a 2060 super card? or buy a new monitor and get the 5700XT and try to sell the BenQ monitor. Would you consider the BenQXL2411 to be a poor monitor...

I currently have a BenQXL2411 144Hz 1080p monitor which I bought in 2015 which has been perfect. I'm looking to upgrade my rig but the monitor only has DVI and 60Hz HDMI. My preferred GPU would be the 5700XT which doesn't support DVI. I could buy an RTX 2060 Super card at the same price with a...

I asked elsewhere and someone gave me this reply: "Do some more research on this, but I think that a passive DisplayPort to DVI adapter/cable will work as the monitor will request DVI from the GPU and the GPU will just output DVI through the DisplayPort socket. Had a look myself: Per...

I currently have a GTX 960 and I'm looking to build a new pc with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. However I use a BenQXL2411 monitor which only runs on 60Hz through HDMI but full 144Hz through DVI. Option 1: Buy an RTX 2060 super card with a DVI port and keep my current monitor to save a ton of hassle...

would this adapter work for what i'm looking for...

Would an adapter like this be worth the money or would you still suggest a new monitor? amaozon link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-1920x1200-Black/dp/B004SUO1GM
