    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    So I worked myself up to attempt a delid on my 7700k after convincing myself I could accept buying a new chip if it turned out poorly. I bought a used Rockit 88 kit and Thermalright Silver Knight liquid metal paste. After reading many comments I decided not to relid and just let the IHS sit...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    So after hours of research and reviews I went ahead and bought an LG 27GL83A from Amazon for $400 after tax. It seemed like every other monitor had at least one major flaw that people hated whereas this one seemed more middle of the road issue-wise. So far I like it and I'm pleasantly surprised...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    I currently have my Vcore set to 1.34V for 4.8GHz and can pass a 15 minute RealBench stress test. I know 15 minutes is probably not enough for a real test but I like it for just testing things out. I tried 1.325V and RealBench crashed within the first 2 minutes. I turned Hyper Threading back on...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    So I read in a guide that hyper threading creates significant heat. I switched that off and suddenly my temperatures have dropped 20C+ during stress testing. I even upped back up to 4.8GHz and it's still much MUCH cooler that before. The temperatures are also all more evenly matched +/- 5...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820231914?Item=N82E16820231914 This is what I have so I thought 3200 would work. The text box thing is still strange to me because I can input numbers as you say for number entries but where it says enable/disable won't do anything...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    I'm trying some manual OC settings, but this Gigabyte board is not very intuitive. For some options, text entry boxes will popup (Enable, Disable, Auto, etc.) whereas other don't leaving me wondering how to even modify the setting. I think RAM is causing issues as well. I bought 3200 RAM but for...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    I'll try messing with the voltages a bit more to see if that helps. My reading on delidding has taught me that apparently Intel did a poor job with their thermal paste inside the chip with this generation. I'm wondering if some are just extremely bad compared to others because everything I read...

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    I left it on "auto" because when I tried to manually set it to 1.35V it crashed on startup. Most people report getting 4.8Ghz on 1.325 or less and only needing 1.5+ for 5.0GHz and up.

    Question Does this sound right for i7-7700k overclock?

    I decided to try and up my overclock on my 7700k and bought a Noctua NH-D15. I've been trying to OC beyond the 4.6Ghz pre-set on my motherboard. I upped it to the 4.8Ghz pre-set and it seems stable but my temperatures are very high. I ran RealBench 15-minute stress test and at least one core...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    When I look that ASUS monitor up, I find that it is also a TN panel. I am nervous about a TN panel but am slowly working up to trying one out. Does anyone know how Amazon's return policy works for monitors if I try it for a couple days and it's horrible? I was actually also looking at...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    I'm really becoming interested in 2K and 144Hz now that I read more about it. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S2719DGF/dp/B00N2L5CXO/ref=sr_1_2?crid=38JACFWR00QB8&dchild=1&keywords=s2719dgf&qid=1586304980&sprefix=S27%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-2 I suppose with my current arrangement...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    My use is probably mixed evenly across all categories (internet, video, gaming, work, etc.) but 60Hz is the only refresh rate I've ever used on a monitor. If it matters, most games I play are 5-20 years old anyway. These days I haven't been as focused on new games coming out. Edit: Upon...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    I must have messed up the model numbers, but from the picture I pulled up the button configuration on the right side of the bezel looked identical. Basically all 3 Dell monitors I've purchased (2006, 2009, 2019) have been 24" 1920X1200 panels and they seem to last a LONG time. I am just confused...

    Question Which Dell monitor to purchase?

    I've been using Dell monitors for the past 14 years and have always been happy with them. In fact, I still have my Dell 2407 that I bought in 2006 on my desk right now. I bought a U2415M U2412M about 11 8-9 years ago and used that up until recently when I gave it to my wife for her computer. I...

    Laptop Docking Station Setup With Desktop Computer and Two Monitors

    My work has provided me with a Lenovo USB-C docking station for my ThinkPad. I'd like to setup a work station at home so I can quickly plug in my laptop without disrupting the desktop setup if possible. My desktop setup has two DVI monitors plugged into my GPU, a USB corded mouse/keyboard, and...

    How to start first small home theater project

    Thank you for the suggestions Kaido. For the projector, I don't know if the 420 lumens is enough because I can close shades to dim the room, but there is still a fair amount of light that enters. The soundbar idea sounds good because it would definitely be easier, but it seemed like a general...

    How to start first small home theater project

    Does 3.1 mean 3 speakers + 1 sub-woofer? Maybe just buying a smaller sub-woofer could work and not cause too many vibrations. If it means anything I'm on the top floor of a 2-story and the floors are carpeted which should dampen things somewhat. Is my $800-1000 price point appropriate if I plan...

    How to start first small home theater project

    I have been interested in making a home theater for my apartment but am having trouble figuring out the basics. The area is quite small at 10X16 and I cannot put excessive holes in the walls due to it being a rental. This complicates wire management as I don't want several wires going across the...

    Advice on Family Member's New Build

    I usually only look into hardware stuff when I build a computer and have to relearn all the numbering on graphics cards in particular. I was debating the 1060 3GB vs 6gb but will also look at the RX570 since I can probably go another $30-40 for graphics card.

    Advice on Family Member's New Build

    Here is the part list I have picked out for a new build for a family member. The computer will be used for light gaming so a graphics card that can do 1920X1200 at medium-high settings for the next 1-2 years is preferred. Trying to keep the budget as close to $800 as possible, but the Windows...

    Time for new router?

    I should have been more clear earlier in that it was megabits/sec. Coincidentally I just ran the speed test and was impressed to see 10Mbps which is MUCH higher than the usual 1-3 Mbps. The area I will be moving to has the same list of providers so I will likely stick with Comcast. Also, by...

    Time for new router?

    I wired my laptop directly to the modem and speed test initially jumped to 5Mb/s but then quickly fell down to 3 Mb/sec which is expected. I am convinced the internet service I am receiving is trash, I still want to upgrade my devices since they are old. I'm moving in a few months and will...

    Time for new router?

    http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2z524xl&s=9#.Wp-dKudG1aQ I do speed test over wi-fi and usually get 1.5-3 Mbit/sec or worse. I think the Comcast package is 50 Mbit/sec. Wired connection isn't feasible in my current home even though I would REALLY prefer it. My roommate complains about the...

    Time for new router?

    I guess that makes sense that the internet connection is the bottleneck. My current setup is a Linksys WRT54GL and and modem is a Motorola SB6120. I think I purchased the modem 6 years ago and the router possibly up to 8 years ago. The Netgear I listed says 16X4 so I imagine that is better than...

    Time for new router?

    Thank you for the reply guys! I am not well versed in the networking side of things but the access point I was talking about is the PCi/PCie card that goes in my computer (are these still a thing?). I've been using a USB adapter lately and I'm just getting tired of youtube not loading and games...

    Time for new router?

    My internet has been awful this last year and Comcast claims it's because my modem and router are very old (5-6 years). Now I see that there are a lot of combination modem/wireless routers and want to know which one is best for my needs. I usually only connect with 1-2 streaming devices at a...

    Considering possibility of adding third monitor

    Both of my Dells are currently running 1920X1200 at 60Hz and it has never been a problem for me. Then again I don't know what difference I would notice if I moved up to a higher refresh rate. Since I am only getting an RX480 I probably won't get >60fps for newer games but that is okay for me...

    AM4 Motherboard Release Dates?

    I'm 98% certain I'll get a Ryzen CPU on Thursday. If that is the case I will probably get either a Gigabyte or ASUS board. Amazon says they will be released on 3/2 along with the CPUs where Newegg has a release date of 3/7 and 3/8. Any reason behind this? Hoping to get this build on the way real...

    Considering possibility of adding third monitor

    I've never understood the significance between the different refresh rates on monitors since I always assumed the graphics card would be a limiting factor in fps. While 60 fps is great, I usually am okay with a steady 40 fps in most games. Generally I go with settings as high as possible before...

    Considering possibility of adding third monitor

    I currently have two Dell 24" monitors (2407WFP and U2412M) and might add a third. Should I stick with Dell or try another brand out? I have been happy with both so far but am open to all options. Ideally I'd want the new monitor to be 1440p (will have RX480 GPU) and be less than 30" so it fits...

    Getting ready to purchase parts for new build

With Ryzen launching in a few days I want to start purchasing parts and then assemble when everything arrives. Please point out if there are any obvious conflicts...

    Which Ryzen CPU should I buy?

    Thanks for replies. I know this is probably overkill for me but I usually spend a couple hundred over my budget anyway so going to a $300 cpu is likely to happen. Researching parts and building is fun for me so that is the main reason I'm building. Also my old computer will be given to a family...

    Which Ryzen CPU should I buy?

    I am coming from a i5-2500K and want to spend ~$200 but am on the fence about going up to the 8-core $320 CPU. I don't know how much benefit I would actually receive from more cores. 4 vs 6 vs 8 is confusing me. I generally use my computer for light gaming and browsing/work/school. Basically I...

    Building new computer - please check my components

    I am definitely going to wait for the Ryzen CPUs since that seems to be the way to go. I hope I can get one close to March 2 and won't have to wait a very long time. I think a ~$200 6-core will fit my budget but don't fully understand how more cores would benefit me. The only real multi-tasking...

    Building new computer - please check my components

    I will probably go the fan route then for the graphics card. However, I have two monitors so I would need to figure a way to plug in both but there is only a single DVI output.
