    News Why parts of Tom’s Hardware now have a paywall

    €59! TuT Tut. Waaaaay disappointing.:sleep: Edit: We've known for a while that this was coming. I get why. But, still. This is not an easy pill to swallow.

    Question Looking for GPU upgrade

    Something like this would be a good call, considering your usage. https://www.paradigit.ie/asrock-radeon-rx-9060-xt-challenger-16gb-oc/80069455/product/9415 Edit: Looking at what @Lutfij linked, that is much better pricing. I'd second the 9060XT 16gb. It's a very decent card. Not the 8gb...

    Question Competetive FPS monitor recommendations

    Hey there, It's a decent monitor. It's a fastIPS panel, which kicks it up to 200hz. They have really good response times, so when playing fast paced shooters, you have very low lag. Colours are great on IPS panels. HDR is just okay. IPS don't get as dark as VA panels (defo don't buy a VA panel...

    JBL wave flex issue

    Hey there Have you tried cleaning the charger with ISOpropyl and cotton bud? Clean the contact on both the case and the buds. Once dry (after just a couple of minutes), then test again.

    News Commodore Corporation BV acquisition completed by fan-led consortium — prepare for new retro futurist products with the deal signed, sealed, and pa...

    Many moons ago, I bought a Commodore GX PC. You ordered the PC and it came with one of it's 'Ckins' chassis design, mine was Medal Of Honour themed. It was very cool. It had a Q6600 CPU which was an amazing OC'er. They folded after a few years, which I always thought was a shame. Maybe they'll...

    Review DeepCool Assassin VC Elite Review: The best cooler you can’t buy in the USA

    It sure is an impressive cooler. Can you clarify if it's a 5 or 6 year warranty? In the Tom's Hardware Verdict, it's 5 years. In the Cooler Specs it's 6. Cheers

    Question Build help - gaming PC

    IMO, you'd make a mistake with the 6 core R5. You will regret it almost immediately.

    Question Build help - gaming PC

    You have a point as such. However, for quite a few AAA games right now, perform better with 8 or more cores. I'd rather go in overcooked, than undercooked. The 9600x is a great little gamer. But add in anything like game streaming or maxing out AAA games, as I mentioned, and the 9600x maxes out...

    Build Complete Is my gaming build good ?

    Then you need a better CPU. Something with at least 8 cores. The 9600x is a really good gaming CPU. But it cannot do what you want without maxing out quickly, causing stuttering and instability. You'd be much better served with a 9700x or a 7800x3d/9800x3d, or even a 9900x You're build is much...

    Question Comparing two PSUs ?

    Hey there, @Aeacus might take a look. They know their PSU's pretty well.

    Question CPU temperature jumps every 30 seconds ?

    He there, What bios are you running on the system? Are all system drivers up to date? If not, do that now. What PSU are you running on the PC? Make and model. Are you OCing the CPU with PBO or Ryzen master or something?

    Question How to limit turbo boost clocks

    Why exactly do you need to do this? What are you hoping to achieve? Underclocking the CPU by 200mhz, will not have any effect at all. It's not gonna suddenly make your chip super efficient or anything. In terms of TS, sadly if you cannot access those settings, there is little you can do. Some...

    Question PC shutting down ?

    Hey there, As above, the PSU is likely the culprit. You could also check that all components are firmly in place (take them out and reseat them.

    Question Computer not booting but hardware is seemingly fine

    The 3070 typically displays power spikes in the 250w mark, so is not as relevant here. The 3090! Well, thats defo a different story. Hey there, A lot of what you describe points to a PSU issue. Have you another quality one you can replace to test? If not, it may be an option to go to a local...
