Hi. I know you asked this question over 20 days ago, but if you still haven't decided, go for the TUF if you can afford the premium. These two are very similar, but the TUF scemes to have a very good VA panel, whereas the vg248qg has a TN panel. If colours don't matter to you or you want to...

So TN panels are off the table then. From what I've heard the AOC's panel is practically perfect, with TN-like response times, good colour accuracy(when calibrated), and good contrast (for a an IPS), BUT would you say it's worth the extra cost over the Samsung? Especially considering I'll only...

Hi, I've wanted a high refresh rate monitor for quite a long time now and I'll be able afford one shortly. That said, I'm still on a tight budget. I won't give prices as that can be very confusing to people from different countries, so I'll work with relative percentages instead, with the LG...

O, and incase anyone else reads this thread wondering the same thing I did, yes, apparently mice are easily modable, just make sure that you can either safely remove or easily replace the mousefeet, and that you rewire the end of the new cable so the colours are in the same positions as the old...

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I completely forgot I posted this and I don't get notifications for some reason. Anyway, the appeal of paracord cables are that they are lighter, more flexible and drag less on the mousepad/desk than rubber cables. That said, apparently they are more delicate...

Sorry, that's what I meant. I created the bootable drive on MY PC. Just an update, I used my PC to install Windows 10 on the new SSD and then plugged it into the old PC again thinking it would just boot from it as it already has an OS installed, but the BIOS just says something along the lines...

So my dad has an old Lenovo desktop that he bought maybe in 2005-2006. I said it might be a good idea to upgrade it with an SSD and windows 10, but I can't figure out how to boot from the USB boot drive. The USB has the windows installation media tool thing on it, and the ssd is plugged in, but...

I'm quite happy with my Steelseries Rival 110 and don't really see the need to buy a brand new mouse, but I really like the idea of the paracord cables that new mice come out with. My local tech retailer sells the Ascended Cables by PC Gaming Race and I'm wondering if I could use that in my mouse?

Just laying this thread to rest. Haven't experienced any of the issues I listed in months. I'm relatively certain the problem was caused by running Dark Souls 3 in fullscreen mode. It may also have been because most of my drivers and windows weren't completely up to date at the time, but I...

So I did a bit of research and discovered that first gen Ryzen only officially supports RAM speed of upto 2667mhz, whereas I was running it at 3000. I changed the RAM speed to 2666mhz and I'll do some testing to see if the PC still acts up

I built my PC 3 months ago and haven't experienced issues until a few weeks ago. The first issue was that sometimes the pc woudn't turn off. If I closed the game(Dark Souls 3) and told the PC to shutdown it would proceed normally and the screen would go black, but it would stay on. The fans...

Thanks! I appreciate the help

Thanks for the quick reply. How long would you say should I run Prime95? Would 4 hours be enough?

I started benchmarking my system( Ryzen 5 1600, 16gb RAM in dual chanel) with Cinebench R20 at different configurations. So far I APPEAR to have a stable OC @ 3.9 ghz and I left the voltage on auto(the motherboard chose 1.225V). I know the sort of "standard" overclock you can hope to achieve...

Even if I do upgrade it, I'd only be able to go for either the Antec VP 700p Plus or Thermaltake's SPS-530M(There aren't a lot of options in my country. These are the only units in my budget where half the money doesn't go towards RGB lights). Are these worthwhile improvements? O, and I have to...
