    Gaming Peripheral Apps, Ranked From Worst to Worst

    Ugh, that's another problem that bugs me. The difference between sites. Unless there is a specific hardware difference between an AU and US or EU version then the apps and drivers should all be the same across the board. But you're right sadly they're often different :(

    Gaming Peripheral Apps, Ranked From Worst to Worst

    Are you sure about that? Because I've built two brand new Intel setups for friends in the last month and you could easily download the drivers for the boards from the Asus site. Just an example: https://rog.asus.com/au/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z690-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_download/...

    Gaming Peripheral Apps, Ranked From Worst to Worst

    Quite a few years ago I remember a couple of the companies asking users what they wanted and a lot of people (myself included) asked for unified apps instead of having different installs for a mouse app, keyboard app, headset app, etc. Now I really, really want to go back to the old way where we...

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    That review looks amazingly in depth. Just wish I could actually read it. It raises some questions when I look at the pictures, that I'm sure were actually addressed in the review. Some of those temperature shots with FLIR were concerning.

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    Thanks for that I wasn't aware Gigabyte had one. It's a bit over the top (no need for the LCD) and it's unclear whether the design is actually digital (like Corsair's), hybrid (like Be Quiet) or not. I'm guessing it's maybe Hybrid. Pity they spend more time talking about the LCD than the actual...

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    lol not looking for alternatives is a good way to miss out on new developments and possibly better options. I'd much rather see them so I can at least consider them. And the HXi series aren't digital. And even worse they no longer seem to be listed on the Corsair site when you choose "All...

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    Oh and I'm pretty sure NZXT was one of the others I was thinking about. I'm sure I remember seeing something about one of their PSUs and their "CAM" software. But I can't find it. edit: Found it https://nzxt.com/product/e850 I also know Be Quiet has a Dark Power 12 Pro range that is digital...

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    The Asus isn't on my list because it only hits one of the three criteria. I specifically want to be able to monitor temps and voltage on screen not climbing under a desk. And in an ideal world it'd be able to do logging as well. The ThermalTake does at least basic logging. So does the Corsair...

    Question PSUs with monitoring software ?

    With the upcoming video cards rumoured to have ridiculous power draws I'm starting to look into a new PSU to replace my long serving Corsair ax760i and I'd really like to get something with a similar feature set, but more power. So specifically 1000W (or more), digital, linked to PC with...

    [SOLVED] 3080 locked at 75hz

    Actually advanced sync (or g-sync) in the Nvidia settings should be on but V-Sync should be off. That should give you back your variable refresh rate. If you turn off the advanced sync you'll potentially get screen tearing.

    Question My resolution is locked!pls help

    Can you just give us some more information to work with; What resolution does Windows say it's running? (For each display). You need to find the models for the monitors and laptop so we can work out what the maximum resolutions for them are. The model number for the monitors will almost always...

    Question My resolution is locked!pls help

    Without knowing the model number/name it's hard to determine exactly what the specifications are. Have a look at this article: https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/000023781/graphics.html If the two monitors you're trying to use have different resolutions then you'll be...

    Question My resolution is locked!pls help

    When you say black lines what exactly do you mean? Do you mean black bars on the left and right off the screen, with the image displayed properly in between them? If so, is the monitor widescreen? Are you saying both monitors are displaying with black lines (bars) or just one? Side note, it'd...

    Question New Card Freezes when starting a game

    It's weird that the 1050 works and the 5500 doesn't. My gut feel would be power related based on what you've tried. Either that or a faulty card. But just to work through a couple other things; You have got the 8 pin power connector plugged into the card right? Is there anything else on that...

    Question New Card Freezes when starting a game

    Can you also check your Audio drivers? Assuming you're running the onboard audio it's realtek. There is a driver dated 11 May 2021. So it might be worth installing that too. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/A320M-PRO-VD-S#down-driver&Win10%2064
