Hi I recently bought a 2560 x 1440 monitor and I find the 100% scaling too small, however when I changed the scaling to 125% some apps would appear blurry e.g Asus Suite 3. I found when I went in advanced scaling settings and set a custom scaling of 120%, the monitor was no longer blurry...

Sorry yeah I meant 2 x 4gb, that was a typo

Planning on using the ryzen 5 2600 I reckon. The 2 x 4gb dual kit appeared under compatible kits for my motherboard on the crucial page so it should be compatible then?

The 4x 8GB dual kit appeared under compatible RAM for my motherboard so surely that means its fine doesn't it?

Hi, I am hoping to buy this RAM for my asus ROG swift B450-F motherboard and wanted to check if it is compatible first. I asked on the amazon UK if it was compatible and the response I got was no but with no explaination, so I was hoping to double check, and if it isn't compatible then I was...

Very true, if it does break in the near future, I'll be sure to come back here and let you know.

thanks.

I managed to fix the board simply by buying a new AM4 socket and carefully removing the cover and fitting it onto the board. The new AM4 socket cost £6 and I did not need any specialist kit or even a magnifying glass. The motherboard works fine just as normal.

Okay I'll have a look thanks.

My friend has bought a AM4 board that he is pretty sure is dead as well so hopefully if the socket is intact I could use this to help get one board working.

Hi Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking of doing, only thing is I think the plastic is snapped for the retention arm. So lets say I could get the plastic over the cpu socket (none of the pins are damaged) would I be able to keep the cpu seated properly by placing the cpu cooler over the cpu...

Hi, I recently bought a returned/damaged motherboard, B450 F gaming asus strix. The plastic covering over the cpu socket has broken off, it came with half of the plastic casing but not the rest. The retention arm is usually attached to the plastic covering, and the arm arrived separately. Is it...

Windows was never installed on the D drive, I bought the D drive for extra storage after installing my OS on the SSD. My OS was originally on a 1 TB hard drive but I have since formatted that drive. Find a screenshot here: View: https://imgur.com/a/EVtZPkP The documents, pictures folders etc...

Hi, I noticed that the quick access folders for documents, pictures, downloads, videos etc are all located on my HDD drive (for storage) rather than my OS drive. Does this mean I still have old windows components (files and folders) on my HDD (I used this for my OS before I bought an SSD. I...
