Question Top 27" 1440p high refresh rate gaming monitors?

I bought the samsung G7 because I am curious how curved would be. It got really high ratings for response times and input lag so I am kind of excited to try it. I also purchased the HP Omen X 27 off ebay from someone who had it new for a pretty good price($400+tax). So I will probably be...

Question Top 27" 1440p high refresh rate gaming monitors?

Looking to possibly make the jump from 1080p to 1440p for gaming.... Looking for the top tier recommendations for 27" 1440p 144~165hz+ gaming monitors with fast response times and low input lag. To be clear, looking for 27", no larger. What are the top models as of Nov 2021? Thanks!

Question Cat6 over Cat5e for a New Home?

I dont have an option anyways. I cant put in my own Cat6a while the home is being built. They just dont allow it. My only option would be to after I move in, to go through and redo all the Cat6 in the walls and change to Cat6a. I just dont see how that would be easy or really that necessary...

Question Cat6 over Cat5e for a New Home?

Its $400 for a drop of 4 wires for locations of my choosing. $266 price is a one time price to upgrade all the cat5e to cat6. So if I want 8 wires run to different locations then its $800. If I want 12 wires its $1200. $266 is just upgrading the cables to cat6. Interesting idea, but this house...

Question Best/Cheapest quality 850w platinum PSU for RTX 3080?

I know, it just worries me a little. My logic is, I like to run power supplies close to the middle of wattage needed which is the optimal operating efficiency level normally. This helps reduce heat and enables me to hit the best efficiency levels. Even at 850, I dont think I am at 50% with an...

Question Best/Cheapest quality 850w platinum PSU for RTX 3080?

Just my thoughts here. Reading the techpowerup review, it says it does worse in performance compared to seasonic/corsair units in similar wattage. It also has high OCP. So my thoughts, the EVGA P2 850w is older and perhaps doesnt have that because I know older superflower units were rock...

Question Best/Cheapest quality 850w platinum PSU for RTX 3080?

I was asking because the EVGA P2 850 has double ball bearing, versus what I normally see these days stating FDB or HDB. I also noticed the P2 850 is 140mm fan versus others which are 130-135mm. Do you think the EVGA P2 850w for about $150 after the 10% off code including tax is worth it or...

Question Best/Cheapest quality 850w platinum PSU for RTX 3080?

Any idea what internals are used in the EVGA P2 850w? I just saw the G3 gold and P2 850w are on sale on EVGA.com and there is also a 10% off code so, I might jump on the P2 850. Is it super flower or fultron garbage? I read evga PSU's are now fultron or whatever.

Dont know much about CWT, they are solid? That seems like a good deal. Im leaning more towards the seasonic or superflower just for peace of mind. I wish that SuperFlower 850watt gold was on sale. Someone told me its always on sale for $110 but I just missed it.

Looking for good quality reliable 850 watt PSU in the gold+ or platinum area for an RTX 3080. What are the good oems these days? Super flower? Seasonic? Something under $160 would be great. The one I wanted was the Evga P2 850 but its like $230. I am thinking SuperFlower?

One of the things for me is noise. Its the reason I ditched the CM Hyper 212 cooler 4 or 5 years ago. By my logic, id rather go big on the cooler to the point where it almost doesnt need a fan at all. I would love a passively cooled heatsink, but in real-world practice that idea just doesnt work...
