The closest ones I've found are the Asus Proart PA32UCDM (perfect, aside from maybe the Adobe RGB coverage, but it's OLED and I worry about burn in), some of the Proart PA32UCX (only issue is they're 60hz and 5ms response time gray to gray, not sure what its VRR range is), the Samsung Odyssey G7/G70B S32BG70 (but it lacks hardware calibration, I assume) and the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U (which is nearly perfect, aside from no hardware calibration I assume and the fact it's fucking huge, 43in)

OK, that's nice. A thermalright peerless assassin mini gets exactly the same number of frames in every game as a 2x420mm custom loop while probably making less noise.

If you need HEDT CPU performance, there are multiple TRX-50 tower coolers which you can even overclock with.

Liquid cooling enables no meaningful extra capabilities over air cooling except physical density in datacenters.

No, because your PCI-E 5.0 x4 SSD is actually an M.2 NVMe interface. It's just electronically wired for PCI-E 5.0 x4 lanes of bandwidth.
Your PCI-E 5.0 x4 SSD needs to go into an M.2 NVMe slot.

You can purchase an adapter card to convert you PCI-E 5.0 x4 motherboard slot into a tray that can hold your PCI-E 5.0 x4 SSD and get full performance if the motherboard slot has x4 lanes of bandwidth but if you try plugging the M.2 drive into your PCI-E slot directly like slotting in a graphics card or something you're just going to break something becuse the pins aren't compatible.

You do not need an AIO for that. You can just use the cooler it comes with or get something better looking and more performant for $30. An AIO would solely be for aesthetics

6000 CL30 was the go to because you could reliably achieve those settings on 2 DIMM systems and those came with hynix a die for good OC potential. Going higher than that will switch to 1:2 divider mode for UCLK/MCLK by default. This will cause performance decrease.
1:1 mode for higher RAM frequency than 3000MHz is just silicon lottery.
If you care about min-maxing you should still manually set subtimings.
Changing CL alone doesn't do much in terms of real life performance so don't bother with finding kit with the lowest CL if you are going to simply use XMP.

its a great card, specially if you OC as blackwell cards have the best OC headroom from any RTX generation, you'll see 10% uplift across games quite easily with a moderate OC, 1500 to the memory and 300-350 to the clock, retards who shit on the card dont understand how expensive light is and how having almost 3080/4070 performance when you undervolt/oc while only using 140-150W depending on your sillicon lottery is really good.

ok /pcbg/ is time for a truth nuke, the ram shortage means consoles will be either extremely expensive or delayed which means games will continue to target the ps5 pro for the next 4 years which means that if you are happy with your current performance and not on something like an RDNA2 card there is no reason to upgrade. having said that now its time to be honest about the 5000 series.

If you need a new card the 50 series is neither, "overpriced" or slow , most of them are clocked slower which explains the massive OC headroom not seen since GTX cards in the mid 2010s.

>5090
30% uplift only 32VRAM card
>5080/5070 TI
comfortably a tier above 4080 super after you OC them, not quite 4090 tier though
>5070
4070 ti super performance after you OC it but $200 cheaper, in some games its 10-15% faster than 4070 super/4070 TI super and the sweet spot for high refresh 1440p gaming with DLSS
>5060 TI 16GB
a little below the normal 4070 outside of path tracing after you OC it, it still a 4070 with 16gb vram and more power efficiency, you can run heavily modded skyrim and shit like that with 8k textures or if you do maya or anything that requires 16gb and cant afford a 5070 TI then this is your choice, is around 25-30% slower than a 5070 but its still good enough until the next console happens because the ps5 pro is slower than this so it will hit comfortably 60 fps or above in 1440p with high settings for the next 4 years. if you want native high refresh rate and only do gaming maybe look into the 5070 if they are similarly priced.

What PSU would you recommend for a 9950X3D and 5070 Ti, with the option to upgrade to a more powerful GPU in the future?

I’m looking at the Corsair RM1000x ATX 3.1 and NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1, both seem solid based on the best PSU guide. However, I really don’t like the fan stop feature on the Corsair. I’d prefer the fan to spin at all times like on my current Seasonic 850W. Since I want to keep my current PC intact, I can’t reuse that PSU.

Any suggestions? Also large PSUs (200mm+) won’t fit. EU market

On the Corsair there’s a knob, but its functionality isn’t clear. Corsair doesn’t state that it turns off the fan stop feature, instead they say it lets you adjust the fan speed up or down, which is pretty stupid compared to a simple button that just enables or disables fan stop mode.

>>107134292
>hx1200i
Do you think it will fit in the Corsair 5000T without having to remove the HDD bays? I’ve watched a few reviews, but they always take the HDD bay out
>Also why dont you like the zero rpm mode, it just stops the fan when its cool and not under load
It’s better for electronic components to stay cool all the time. Fan stop just strains the fan and adds unnecessary heat cycles, since at certain load levels it will constantly turn on and off

Don't act like AMD will get more favorable GDDR7 supply contracts in the future, that's the reason why their Radeon cards are still using GDDR6.

There's a point where TSMC customers will just switch to Samsung if the math doesn't add up.
Or they'll delay new product releases until Samsung and Intel can make similar chips.

If it gets too expensive then companies move elsewhere.
There is competition from Samsung and even if they may be only 80% of TSMC performance, the relative cost difference when TSMC charges too much means companies might eventually tune their architectures for Samsung.

I'm currently running a 2700x and a 2080 super, with 2x16GB of RAM. Would it make sense to upgrade to a 5700x or 5800x as my last upgrade before building an AM5 rig in a couple years?

My primary use case is light gaming with a 4k monitor at 60hz, stuff like cyberpunk i run with DLSS.
I also am getting into CAD for 3d printing and would like something a bit more powerful for rendering.

Wooting is worth it if you need it.
If you just want to play around with hall effect switches, there are cheapo Chinese options for that now.

Got this OLED on sale (never had an oled screen before that wasnt a phone). I did read that oled monitors aren't as bright as IPS/VA ones, so a bit worried the screen might be too dim but we'll see. At this price it was hard to pass up but hopefully wont need to return it. Also any suggestions on how HDR stuff works in games?

Some people claim they are expensive compared to competitors but I never checked. I got myself a 80HE and it's the best keyboard I've ever had honestly but by far the most expensive as well.

Is it possible to get another pair of 16 GB sticks of the same type (G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo), throw them in and have 64 GB total?

Depends, if it doesn't work you might have to reduce the timings. 100% sure you are not going to be overclocking 4 sticks of RAM though.

I don't want dodgy software and they are all ansi layouts also, which brings me to the question any anons use ISO layout but use ANSI keyboards? considering ergonomics and modability
worth buying ansi if you are are on an iso layout anyway? idk

you have to wait for flash deals and specific deals
best deal I ever saw yet was s81sf for 500€ and g80sd for 600€
cheapest the 27" 4k panel has ever been is in the xg27ucdm for 860€ mostly hovering at 950€ which as you can see is like twice the price
cheapest I ever saw the 32" panel also

but, I kid you not when I say that software and monitor implementation is the most important things now in these oleds
or you will suffer eternally with shitty pixel refresh and jumping pixels

so you CAN'T even buy the shittiest cheap stuff which is usually AOC and shit, because they are pure garbage also

I'd rather use and LCD than get cucked like that again
