    Router & Internet Speeds

    Yeah... you'd need a better router. A decent one's not too expensive luckily. A pretty good one can be had for under $100.

    What monitor specs do you look for?

    That's just youtube doing weird stuff to the background of the page. Put it in theatre mode and you won't get that.

    What monitor specs do you look for?

    IPS will have that problem too... there's a few monitors that have local array dimming but the amount of zones typically on monitors are kind of low, so the experience is meh. Apart from going to an OLED for the deep blacks, mini-led lit panels are the way to go if you really get annoyed by...

    1080p 144hz+ ips monitor suggestions

    Honestly the difference between 120 and 144 isn't enormous. Like yeah... it's smoother but I wouldn't rather have 1080 over 1440 over it. The gigabyte one on his list has the best specs "on paper" but a proper review if available will show you more information than a comparison table.

    1080p 144hz+ ips monitor suggestions

    That's not bad. What's Pixio like? Haven't really seen this brand up north.

    1080p 144hz+ ips monitor suggestions

    because $250 budget? It's kinda hard to find 1440p high refresh rate at that price point I guess. At least one I'd recommend to people.

    PCIE 6+2 pin to 1x8 + 6+2 pin

    An 8-pin PCIE connector per the spec should be able to supply 150W of power through the cable (although, most PSU manufacturers rate their cables for higher than that... I wouldn't necessary risk it in this environment). The slot can only provide up to 75W. The 6700XT can draw 220W under...

    Nice Nice... Just make sure you made space for a twin rail system to traverse across. I played on 50 height... and that was interesting...

    That is a big part of the game. Ribbon world is fun. How tall is your constraint?

    Factorio is way too addictive. I try to stay off that game as a result.

    I accidentally hit the power switch on my surge protector and now I can't connect to the internet -- please help!

    A lot of bloat in the software now. I'm currently using bitdefender free, it's pretty good so far for me. Windows Defender is sufficient though if you don't want to deal with a 3rd party anti-virus program. Malwarebytes has always been a good go-to for the occasional scans once in a while...

    Legacy to UEFI Bios Question

    Technically, if your bios is on legacy. GPT is not an option. So if your harddrives are already on GPT, then your bios is in CSM/UEFI if you've got legacy hardware that isn't fully compatible with UEFI. Is there a specific reason you want to move to a UEFI only bios? It sounds like you're...

    Why does my GPU Usage suddenly go below 30% randomly and go back up?

    GPU stutters like that could be waiting for the CPU to catch up. Next time you play valorant, keep an eye out on the CPU usage as well and report back. See if there's any correlations to very high CPU Usage when your GPU usage drops. Sometimes rolling back drivers a couple versions back could...

    Testing tools

    Try using a different SATA cable and plugging it into a different SATA port to see if it still produces that freezing behaviour. At least that'll narrow down if it's your HDD, cable, sata port that's causing this behaviour. I'm still trying to think of why a HDD would freeze up the system...
