I recently reinstalled windows on my pc, and looked at pcmr on reddit to find a post of someone complaining about gsync, on nvidia systems, not beeing enabled by default everywhere....

There is a magnetic top vent filter that comes with the case but it covers the top rear exhaust fan so I don’t really want to put it on....

I bought this PC 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had to transport it by car. Even though I packed it in the original box with foam, when I tried to set it up again, I noticed that this cable, which I had secured with electrical tape, was loose. I’m sure it wasn’t loose before....

I’ve had zero luck finding any info on this. Maybe my search skills are bad :/...

Yellow, big brain PC users 🖖...

Im using an ASrock A520-HDV motherboard, and when i was rebooting my computer to boot it into windows (i have windows 10 and arch linux installed) it showed the grub menu for 1 second and then the screen went totally black, so i pushed the reset button of my case, but when i did that the computer didnt POST and it started to...

I may have the opportunity to upgrade my home office from dual 42" 4K panels to a single 8K panel. Actually, the two 42" won’t fit as my new space is limited to a 72" maximum total width so it’s drop to one monitor or go big. I’ll be moving my gaming rig into the office so gaming performance will matter but probably only a...

Long post and well worth the read, but the interesting part to me is this:...

I have an Asus PG27AQDM OLED monitor, and the out-of-the-box HDR experience is, well, atrocious. I can make it look better, almost perfect, by messing around with Nvidia control panel, but those settings obviously look awful with HDR disabled. So, is there a way to automatically apply different profiles according to the colour...

Hi! Building a gaming PC for a friend, looking to spend about 1300$ USD. Will need to include a monitor as well. He’s looking to play some AAA and some esports games, was trying to get a 1440 setup with ability to upgrade in the future. Would you make any changes to what I’ve put together?...

My boyfriend asked for a computer build for podcasting and light gaming for Christmas. He specifically wants a custom build desktop and I wasn’t able to talk him out of going this route. We’re starting from zero so I’d need to get a tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, mic, webcam, etc. Trying to keep it under $1300ish for the...

I’m looking at the ASRock PG27FF1A 27” FHD IPS 165Hz FreeSync Premium monitor, the price is in AUD so it’s closer to $125 before tax....

Hi Everyone,...

I have had this tube of MX4 since 2013, it’s served me well, countless rebuilds of my computers, CPUs and GPUs alike, home servers, gaming computers, laptops, games consoles, pi4, I used this on everything. You served me well....

New to me and should do me well for a year or 2… Upgrading from a 4790k and a 780ti...

So the Zotac RTX 4080 Trinity OC is too wide to properly fit in my Phantek P400A thanks to that giant power adapter....

Hi again! So…based on my previous post, it’d seem that it’s going to be quite some headache to get an old intel 6700 CPU with a PCIe 3.0 to work decently with more up to date GPUs (that is, to see a decent improvement in performance at all). I’d like to do a cross-jump to AMD CPUs this time, to be paired with a 6800XT or...

Hi guys! So I’m considering upgrading my…veteran PC. Currently, a Core i7 6700 with an Nvidia GTX1070, 16GB RAM running from a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 (PCIe 3.0) mobo. I’m currently considering to upgrade the GPU to a 6800XT, although I saw the 4070 for a bit cheaper, maybe ~80USD less. I’ve posted this earlier, and got...
