Hey I have an Xbox Series X. I have a 4k Samsung television and a Asus 27 inch Oled monitor. Would you all suggest i run it on the 27 inch monitor 1440p @120hz or use the television and run it @4k? For right now im only playing Fortnite and just download Starfield. The oled 27inch monitor is...
No What I did was build my gaming pc and put my 3080 in it. My main pc that I use for working/everyday usage im just using the igpu. This fall ill see if any price drops happen and then grab either a 4080 or a 7900xtx.
Have you all seen any of the footage from Computex 2023? So far Msi and Asrock are refreshing their some of their z790 mobos and have some on display. Generally have mobo refresh been worth the wait to upgrade? From the 1 or 2 videos Ive seen just seems like a wifi upgrade and some board are...
Hello everyone. I am doing a parts list for a gaming only pc. Cpu im either going for Intel 13600k or Amd 7700x. My monitor is a 240hz 1440p Asus Oled. Right now im just playing Fortnite and Resident Evil but plan on running some first person shooters. Looking for some gpu recommendations...
Hello I have a question hopefully someone can help me with. I am eyeing the Asus Oled 27 inch monitor coming out. I planned on using it for both pc gaming(display port) and also using it for my Xbox Series x. Looking at youtube videos people keep saying it not a good monitor for consoles...
Hey i have a question in regards to these new Oled monitors coming out. Im looking at the Asus 27 inch 1440p monitor. As far as response time go it seem it oled .03ms vs lcd 1ms response time. How does the lower response time benefit fast paced shooters(Fortnite, Call Of Duty etc etc)? Does...
Hi looking for people who use either of these 2 internet security suits to see what your experience is like using them. Im trying to decide between either of these 2 on Windows 11. What are your likes or dislikes?
If I use an Asus z90 Hero with a 13900k can I set the bios to run Intel forced limits or do I have to manually set pl1 and pl2 limits? I dont want to mess with setting voltages myself as that above my paygrade. I want to go air cooling so what pl limits need to be set to tame it a little.(with...
If the price of the 4080 goes down after Amd releases their gpu do you guys think(guess) its going to be hard to grab a 4080? Wondering if it makes sense to sell my 3070 so my out of pocket cost for a 4080 would be more like 800 to 900 ish?
So between the 2 choices
1) Asus z790 13700k Noctua d15 Fractal Torrent
2) Asus z790 13700k Galahad 360 aio O11 Dynamic xl
Do you think a d15 or even a Noctua U12a is good to cool a 13700k or do i still need an aio? I dont run benchmarks. Some handbrake every now and then. Or are there better...

Can someone tell me the benefit of the 8 extra E cores on the 13900k vs 13700k? Are all 16 E cores used for system resources and background tasks when gaming? What apps will actually use all the cores? I use i dont think Handbrake uses more than 6 to 8 cores so at what point are they help...
Im going to do a Intel build and then early next year a Ryzen 7000 build. Trying to decide between a 13900k or a 13700k.I game on a 240hz 1440p monitor. Other than gaming I watch multiple Twitch streams and use Handbrake and burn dvds tho not for money just a hobby. I guess if i use a 13900k i...
Hi. For those who use aio cpu coolers are there some brands or designs that are more reliable than others(less likely for the pump to die or leaks)? Is their some sort of tier list for performance and reliability? I know there is the Asetek 7th gen pumps and some companies make their own...
I'm still waiting to see the Raptor lake reviews today but I think I'm going to grab a 7950x with a Asus x670 Hero the second week of November. Since I just game, watch several Twitch streams, and use handbrake to convert videos and burn dvds I should need to use an aio right? I'm not going to...
To much information overload for me lol I misunderstood something I read. Someone was going with a 7950 with Windows 10 because they had older games and wanted to stick with W10 in general. I misunderstood it and thats why I asked.
Also just want to say thanks to you and Markfw. Over the...
Are all Expo kits supposed to work for all mobo or is there still qvc memory list? Microcenter is giving out free ddr5 5600 kits with the purchase of a cpu and mobo.
I have an itch to build a 7900x rig lol. Wondering if i should sell my 12700k stuff to a family member and grab a
7900x
Asus strix E
G skill Expo memory.
Would you all say it would be worth it from a performance perspective?(gaming and light video encoding)
How does Windows 11 feel using Am5...
So if your cooler has its own back plate it not compatible out of the box. We have to wait to get a bracket from the manufacturer? Only coolers that use the mobo backplate are compatible out the box. According to Der8aur. Also saw this video so i may hold of on my 5900x build.

Sound BlasterX AE-5 has ESS SABRE32Ultra
my Asus z690 mobo has ESS® SABRE9018Q2C...
I changed cords but nothing happened. I uninstalled the drivers and kept reinstalling them but they didnt take. On the last uninstall reinstall i made sure to run as admin and they seem to have taken so far. My Asus Z690 Hero has the same 2.5 lan and i didnt have any trouble with that. When...
Anyone ever have trouble with Msi boards in general as far a the lan ports? I just installed a 12700k with this board and the lan constantly disconnects. I used the driver from the website. Not sure what to do.
