So I'm looking at 1440p/144hz ips monitors. I think I've found what I'm looking for but it's boiled down to these two: Pixio px277 and pixio px277h. Anyone have any thoughts about these two? How important/good is HDR? The h model has 600 nits. I'd prefer the looks of the non-h, but again I don't know how big of a difference the HDR makes.
Basically don't expect any pre-launch benchmarks to be legit. Nvidia is now controlling who the AIBs send their cards out to and what they can and cannot say during said review. For 5 years.
Sebastian Johnson
WELL I BETTER PAY UP DAQUAN TO HAVE IT "REPOSESSED". HOW ABOUT THAT YOU GREEDY FUCK
Better get it from your local Piotr who stole it from your neighbour. You need to get it fast before he comes back to poland tho.
Nolan Reyes
Is $178USD a good deal for a 32" 1080p 144hz monitor? At the moment I can only really use it when playing Quake Live or CSGO but I really want to upgrade my current main monitor, a 21" 60hz 1080p screen with a fuckton of light bleed and only one DVI input.
Austin James
Its a good build with upgrade path. You need a WiFi card if your gonna use WiFi but using Ethernet is better. Also any cheap mouse and keyboard will do. They're all the same. I buy genius. Its budget quality. Only autists care about superficial specs and design
What's a good voltage to get 4Ghz on a Ryzen 7 1700? I got a beefy ass cooler, but whenever I try to do 4ghz at 1.4Volts it crashes. Should I go higher than that? I don't think that's a good idea, even though the temps are low.
Brayden Russell
Why do we need ray tracing Quadros? Who uses them?
Carter Anderson
not all ryzens will reach 4ghz and no you shouldn't go above 1.4 even with good temps.
Lucas Collins
Should I just settle for 3.9? I think I have a bad chip, because using the stock settings XFR it would crash at stock voltages and I had to manually raise the voltage to get stock clocks not to crash.
Evan Evans
I can't fathom having such a poor chip, what motherboard? I can hit 3.8 with a 1600 on the stock voltage.
Asher Baker
Yeah sounds like a poor chip sadly you lost the lottery, some people win like this fagand some lose.
Lucas Rodriguez
I'm upgrading to a 360mm 'AIO' in a few days. What sort of load temps should I expect from a 2600x when using shit like Prime95? Or is there a better program to use nowadays?
Jeremiah Lee
RTX will most likely be overpriced, and buying used 1000 series or Vega on sale will make more sense for the next year. That is unless you plan to play RTX titles exclusively.
Asher Martin
Asus B350-F.
Yeah sadly I've already had it for over a year and I won't return it now. Since I overclocked from day 1 I didn't notice how bad it was at stock settings. I'm waiting for the 3700X to come out to get one. So far I'm doing 3.85Ghz at 1.35V
Christopher Torres
What's a good WiFi card that will work with my build?
Brody Sullivan
Cool, i get to build a $15k watercooled pc tomorrow... I feel bad for the client though, getting 1080tis insteaf of waiting a few months
Nolan Sullivan
>parking with my 21" quite comfortably. Feel absolutely no need to get a bigger screen. Though I've got my 55'' 4k TV that I connect to my PC. Its got 5ms lag with 60hz everything but 4k which is 30hz. Regardless its pretty sweet and only cost me $400
Which GPU should I choose? Asus GTX 1070 Dual OC or Palit GTX 1070 Dual only these two since I'm buying used. The palit one is ~8% more expensive. I'd like less noise and a passive mode, but I don't know if either of these has it.
Is there anywhere in the US I can get a 1080ti for under $700? Should I wait till next year when people are going to realize that the 2080 is not worth it and shit xD
Nathaniel Richardson
that's the price of 1060 over here, buy two send me one and I'll send you back $500

>Should I wait till next year when people are going to realize that the 2080 is not worth it and shit xD You realize by that point stock my actually be sold out right? They aren't making any more 10 series cards. This is all old inventory.
Isaac Cruz
Any idea what my average temps should look like? Install guide for the block looks pretty simple, but I won't know if I fucked something up with the paste or something if idle/load temps are slightly higher than they should be.
Joshua Bailey

Jayden Allen
yikes do you think you fit in already with the hardcore Jow Forums crowd. You posted on discord how you pwned some anons?
Jayden Sanchez
I know theyll discontinue production since theyre moving on to Gaytracing but I sooner or later the GPU would drop unless demands hits harder within the next few months which woould suck ass
Isaac Torres
>brainlet alert
So I got 3000mhz RAM to with my Z370 and Coffee Lake. Do I need to do anything to get it to actually run at that speed? And what? Some XMP stuff, right? Even a link is fine, cause I don't know what to search for. Thanks in advance
Gavin Gray
go to bios click ram set 3000mhz thats all
John Fisher

Jason Peterson
It's that easy? Thanks. I remember seeing a video where this was mentioned briefly and I feel like there was more to it than that but I'll take your word for it since I don't remember myself
Camden Johnson
pcpartpicker says my build needs 352 Watts to run, is this good enough? Keep in mind I do not intend to overclock anything at all.
nah it's literally that easy. If you want to be cheeky cunt you can try 3200 even but that might require some tinkering.
Daniel Perez
Other user is right. Leave.
Nathan Hall
Oh right, I forgot I got 3200 and not 3000, my bad. It was a last minute switch and I've forgotten about it. I think I'll drop the cheeky cuntness for now, I'll tinker with proper overclocking once I feel like it'd actually raise performace considerably
Jonathan Lopez
Should be more than enough, obviously. May want to consider a 650 if you can afford it. Just to have more upgradeability for the future.
Jordan Russell
Yeah I thought so, but have been doing lots of DD since it will be my first time building, and I have read a lot about not being cheap with the PSU and I was not sure if this would be sufficient.
Mason Wood
Not being cheap is more about not buying a cheap garbage PSU than getting one with high wattage. Yours is fully modular and has Gold sertification so it's not cheap or bad for the wattage you are getting.
>1500x 2600 is $15 more on Amazon. It's much better. >slow ram Get 3000mhz or higher. Or at least 2800 and manually OC it yourself. I don't know much about the ultra low end motherboards so I can't say. I would say don't get anything under a B450 (for 2nd gen) if you plan on using it for awhile and want it to be mildly decent..
Dominic Moore
$1600 budget pcpartpicker.com/list/2qxmNQ Should I get a vega 56 with a mb279qr144 or 1080 ti with a s2417dg? Aside from >csgo I'm going to be playing r6s, pubg, mhw, ark, and ffxiv. I could wait for labor day sales to try get a xb271hu or equivalent, but I'm worried that they won't drop in price enough and I'll have missed out on a $330 s2417dg, even though that could go on sale again. Should I just buy the s2417dg now, don't open it, and then return it if a better monitor shows up in a week or if I end up getting a cheap vega 56? I have to wait for sales to get the 1080 ti either way.
I need to build a PC to run my new Cintiq 24 Pro (4k 60hz; will likely buy a faster second monitor later), using it for creative shit like drawing, photoshop, video editing, etc. - gaming is a plus. I'm going for a small form factor, to make as much room for the tablet as possible. My budget's around $900 but I'd be willing to go a couple hundred more if it means better long-term investments.
I'm still working on the parts list, but what graphics card should I go with? I'm planning to invest more into fast processing and RAM than game graphics since I'll be working in 4k, but I'm not willing to shell out for 4k gaming. Would the gtx 1060 work for me?
Gabriel Peterson
thanks man
Nicholas Gomez
pcpartpicker.com/list/NZsFmq This is the updated version although there seems to be a compatibility issue, any solution? I am new to building computers, I apologize in advance for any frustration my stupidity may cause.
It's a decent price but 32" and 1080p would most likely look awful.
I've seen this 240 Hz monitor go on sale for 180 GBP quite frequently: UM.HX1EE.B01
Ryder Hill
Copy this And add a rx480 (or don't if you're poor)
Luke Gonzalez
96jiggabytes of ram? what possible applications does this have?
Adrian Perry
A 350 board will work, but you'll need a 1000 series CPU to update the BIOS to work with a 2000 series CPU. You can either get that done at a local repair shop/Microcenter or get a boot kit from AMD. 450s work right out the box. >Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Pinnacle Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Daniel Howard
are new chips more voltage sensitive? i run my i2500k with 1.42v since day 1 release with no issue.
Cooper Reed
Could you please give me a name of a compatible board since the repair shops around me are not the most reputable ones.
Caleb Davis
Any b450 or X470 boards will work out the box. B350/X370 are previous gen (1000 series) boards.
Benjamin Gomez
>its like you want to be colorblind
what did he mean by this?
Nolan Collins
96 GAJIGGANIGGARAYS BUY BUY BUY THE NEW RTX 2080TI!!!
My chassis fan is detected and works when I'm in the BIOS
But it's not detected and doesn't work when I'm in windows
What?
Dylan Walker
Do you install any of the 6 million programs that come with a motherboard (drivers, power management, fan management, rgb management, intel management, sata management, lighting management, update management, management management etc.)?
Joshua Watson
Been like a month of looking around and decided that the best value for what i want is
i'm a complete brainlet and never built a pc before, i just want to know if it should work good and without problems. wont do much outside vidya, photoshop, multi-tabbing and some work/desktop stuff. also Win7 or 8?
If I'm going with an AMD cpu and 32gb RAM, is it worth $37 to go from 2133 mhz to 3000 mhz?
Hudson Green
I have a lian li pc65 case, and recently got a blower style gpu (rx470). This picture shows how my fans are positioned. All are 1800rpm fans except for the top fan which is 1200rpm, and the psu fan of course. My question is, since I am putting this blower gpu in, which pushes air out of the gpu itself rather than just dispersing heat and letting the rear case fans take care of it, would it help to flip the top case fan to an intake? In that case the top fan would better feed the cpu and exhaust out the back, while the bottom fans would be able to get more air to the blower gpu fan.
Is 270€ a good price to pay for this? They both cost a bit more when bought separately. Will be using the GPU for 1080p vidya and the SSD for smut. The 1060 is bad at cooling and runs relatively loud. I only have a 1050 ti at the moment.
Get 2600x and a better PSU Maybe 16gb ram but you don't need it really Looks pretty decent
Nathaniel Robinson
depends on your airflow and cooler and how many processes are running. If you're running a top-notch cooler with plenty of air and minimal programs then it should idle around 25-27c, up to 35c if you're using a small cooler with a constrictive system. Temps should rise to around 70-75c to 85c. If it's higher than that you should install a better cooler or lower the voltage, or you might have a fan that isn't spinning.
Noah Morales
It's fine if it's a 6GB card, the SSD is shitty though.
Benjamin Jackson
It's a Swiftech H360 X3 so outside of a custom loop I don't think it could get much better. I had peak temps on my 280mm around 77c, but since I plan on adding a GPU to the loop (and the fact that it's 3 years old) I wanted to upgrade. Case is a Define S so airflow shouldn't be a problem. Sounds like my temps were about average already. Thanks.
Matthew Green
and 8350k is literally more expensive than 8400 lol. It's shit buy.
Jason Sullivan
>better is more expensive >surprise = zero
David Cook
I have a RX550. Is a 1060 6gb worth it for 220€ or should I wait for the 2060 hoping nvidia won't screw us?
Josiah Foster
I won't be running anything important off of the SSD and the 1060 is just a placeholder until I buy a 1070. Should I still go for it?
Lucas Reyes
>2600x opinion discarded
Elijah Sanders
is there too much difference between 2600 and 2600x? i'd like to save some bucks if the difference isnt too noticeable also what do you mean with a better PCU? more than 500W, better than bronze 80+ or just a better brand?
Easton Howard
So? It's one game, and who knows if that user even plays it. 4c/8t is acceptable, but no one should be buying 4c/4t at this point.
Ethan Baker
I got a new computer for work today. The hard drives are entirely empty because I intended to install my own OS to them.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to get anything to show on the display.
The motherboard is an AS Rock X299 Killer SLI/ac. The monitor takes an HDMI connection and is an Asus VE247H monitor. The CPU is an Intel Core i7-7820X skylake.
Pic related is the ports available to me. I am currently connecting the USB C port through an HDMI-USB C connector to the screen. The screen simply says "no VGA signal" before fading to black. The motherboard is definitely receiving power since I can see the LED's flashing and the fans turning.
