Hey guys! First time poster here but I have a bit of an odd/weird question that I'm looking into. So I absolutely love my MSI laptop but it falls short on 2 parts. One i could care less about but the main thing is how muted the colors and display feels. The other is battery but like i said i...

Long story short, one of my siblings snagged a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and wanted me to upgrade his pre-built PC. Soon enough, we found out that we couldn't; even though his motherboard supports AM4 CPUs, it only allows upgrades to certain AM4 CPUs for some reason. Still, he's deadset on that cpu, so...

Hello! I play games in 1440p and I've noticed that my RTX 3070 is starting to lag behind a little bit when it comes to some recent releases (mainly STALKER 2), so I'm looking to upgrade. Since I don't particularly care about ray tracing or AI upscaling I figure AMD is a better choice since it's...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. About a week ago, I bought a new CPU for my PC, a Ryzen 7 5700. Before that, I upgraded my BIOS to get support for it first. However, two days before my new CPU arrived, I started to have strange problems when using my PC. First, I got a random reboot. I ignored it...
