Bumping the thread just to say that I ended up buying two corsair RM650x'. It was a bit more than what I wanted to spend but I guess there are worse things in the world than "overspending" on a power supply. One warning. These power supplies have a bulge in the 24 pin cable where there is...

I built two new rigs (with the 13600kf and 12600kf), each use the Peerless Assassin 120 SE. The old rigs (both with the i5-8400) that they replaced had stock coolers in them. I replaced the stock coolers, finally, with the Hyper 212 Evo. The 212 in Canada is kinda expensive for what it is. Can...

For the money, there really isn't any competition. At least not in Canada. I bought two of them a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with them. I wish I knew more about thermalright, last summer. I finally got around to replacing the stock cooler for my i5-8400 rigs with a hyper 212 evo...

I have some older parts (8th gen Intel stuff and a GTX 770/GTX 1070) that I want to build into new rigs. I thought a couple of 500W power supplies should be enough for this. But I am having a really tough time finding anything. Specifically the corsair CX/CXM line. Anyone know of a decent...

I think I waited a while until I got my first SSD. I think it was a 240gb crucial sata ssd? Since then, I've probably bought 6 more drives. The latest two are 2 1TB nvme m.2 drives from XPG. I installed Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, Modern Warfare, and Warzone and one of them and instantly...

I usually consult blur-busters when looking at monitors. They have a good list that could be useful. Seems like the one to beat right now is the viewsonic xg270 https://blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/ edit: I'm a moron, the xg270 is 1080p. @1440p, you are probably looking at xg2703-gs or...

Since we are in the SFFS sub-forum, I'm assuming you want something small. if you want something that fits an M-ATX board and ATX power supply, your options are limited. From what I've seen you either have to get something barebones from a chinese e-store, or try out the sliger cerebrus or...

This thing had a good run. I must have had it for about 9 to 10 years. The coating on it finally wore off. My mouse (naga hex) has pads or feet on the bottom that, I guess, wore down the coating. It finally made using the mouse a bit of a pain as I shifted from clean spots of the pad to...

Well, this is strange. I restarted my computer and after it booted into windows, I went into task manager and disabled all nvidia services. I then started Fallout 4, reset video settings and set god rays to low and shadow distance to medium. Left everything else to my default setting. Seems...

Yeah, I have the new drivers installed. I'm not quite sure what is up with my system. Maybe I have something loose inside? I built it a few months ago, but never really played any demanding games so haven't noticed any issues until now. I did have issues with audio static though.

Any nvidia 770gtx (2gb vram) users here? I also have an i5 4690k and 16gb of system ram. I seem to struggle to get anything over 30 fps consistently unless I have most settings on low. I think I need textures on medium and god rays off to get any decent performance. Anyone else experiencing...

Thanks, that looks interesting. That is what I am thinking of doing. I have powered speakers for my TV, so I am thinking that I can do optical out to my new DAC and then analog out to the powered speakers.

I just finished reading this thread, completely, and I have to say it is interesting timing. I've been having problems with my computer audio for a while. I have a gigabyte z97-mx gaming 5 board that is supposed to have a decent isolated dac with its own power source. But I've been experiencing...

Haha, I think I will have to do that. Thanks. :p

I always have a problem with this when I wake my computer up from sleep. The audio through hdmi doesn't work and then I either have to disable the device and re-enable it or restart the pc to get it working again. Any way to avoid this?
