    As of now all my cameras and smart home things use 2.4ghz, my 2 Nvidia shields and both my laptop and my girlfriend's laptop use 5ghz. Only our phones and her desktop PC has WiFi6E. Her PC would be 1 room from the router. But she doesn't play fps mainly just single player games.

    My current Netgear nighthawk WiFi 6 router just died. My last 2 Netgear routers have had issues after using alot of Netgear routers in the past. So I'll be switching to Asus to give it a try. I didn't know if I should buy a WiFi 6 router again or should I just make the upgrade to WiFi 6E and spend the extra $200 for the price of the router. I see WiFi 7 is just around the corner as well though. Is it even worth it paying that extra amount for getting access to 6ghz band? The routers I'm looking at is the - Asus ROG Rapture gt ax11000 pro - Asus ROG Rapture gt axe16000

    I think my plan now is to get either a 3080 or 3090 and just sell my 1080ti to get some money back as I see people buying them for $300 or so. Then Just hope that the 50 series have a price correction and upgrade again. I'd atleast have a better card and noticeable upgrade for the next 2 years. ha

    I Saw a couple 3090s going for $750 so less than a 4070ti. So will be looking at those.

    I was looking to finally upgrading my GTX 1080ti Strix i bought on launch like 7 years ago. lol It seems to be finally showing it's age where i can no longer play Overwatch 2 at max settings 1440p, 165FPS on my Gsync monitor. I also started to play Cyberpunk 2077 now that's been fixed. And later plan on playing Hogwarts Legacy. I game at 1440p with a Gysnc monitor. I really don't want to spend over $1k on a GPU rightnow as I have trips planned for the end of the year plus hopefully LTX in addition to the 40 series seems like being insanely priced. Would it be best to just get a used 3080 for $550-$650 instead of a 4070ti for $850?

    After changing out the thermal paste the issue has seemed to gone away. It's weird since I did test if it was over heating and the temps weren't getting too high but I guess the thermal paste on it wasn't doing a good job anymore.
  7. DudeWazap
    Ah okay so 3060ti as a place holder till 40 series to upgrade to a 4080 or 4080ti
  8. DudeWazap
    I have a 1000W PSU with a 5900X 12 core CPU and I like to game at 1440p with Gsync enabled. Thanks I added that to my OP as well.
  9. DudeWazap
    I'll try to change out the thermal paste. The temps aren't getting high on it but it is a 5 year old card so i'll give it a try.
  10. DudeWazap
    Those were my old specs I forget to update them, But I run a 5900X and 1000W PSU now.

    So sadly my ROG Strix 1080ti I bought on release date has been having issues were it randomly crashes after playing any game for more than 1 minute. It does this weird pixilation on both my monitors and freezes then the game crashes. I have restored my windows to 2 months ago, updated windows 10 to the latest version clean installed Nvidia drivers and even removed GeForce Experience and still nothing. So my question is should I just buy a 3080 and stay with that. or should I buy a lower end card like a 3060ti or something similar and wait for the 40 series cards to then get a 4080 and sell my 3060ti to get some money back. My current system is a 5900X with a 1000W PSU and I liek to game at 2560 x 1440 with Gsync

    I'm currently upgrading my pc to a new Ryzen build coming from an Intel 4770k. I mostly game and edit videos. I had ordered some trident z RGB ram 3200 C16 that was only $75 USD for 2x8gb. I was going to order another set to have a total of 32GB. However I know that 3600mhz C16 RAM will help my processer run a bit faster but, for that RAM it would be about $35 USD more. Is the price difference worth it for the gains i will be getting?
  13. DudeWazap
    Is it no difference for using the USB cable or no difference in having both side by side or you mean all of the above?
  14. DudeWazap
    I just recently upgraded my original Logitech G502 to the new G502 wireless with light speed. It comes with the USB cable to charge the mouse as well as an adapter to plug the dongle into if you want it close to your desk (i assume) I also just bought the Logitech wireless G915 with lightspeed. (trying to go for a more clean wireless look on my desk) I first wanted to know if there is a notable difference between having the lightspeed dongle connected straight to the front or rear I/O of my PC or having it plugged into the adapter which connects to the USB charging cable. Second I wanted to know if it was okay to have both keyboard and mouse Dongle right next to each other. will it cause any interference or it doesn't matter? Thank you in advance. I just want to make sure I am not introducing any latency or signal issues with having both dongles right next to each other or using the USB cable for the dongle.
  15. DudeWazap
    Awesome thank you, I didn't even think about the part of it not having DRAM. I rather pay the extra bit for that feature.
  16. DudeWazap
    I looking start switching to using more SSD's for storage rather than HDDs like I mainly have now. I want to get a 2TB SSD for the bulk of my games as well as videos I edit. I was looking to get either a Samsung 2TB QVO ($229) or a Crucial 2TB BX SSD. ($199) Is the extra $30 from the Samsung a big difference for loading games and editing videos from that drive?
  17. DudeWazap
    Awesome, I think I know what I will order for the single fan then. Thanks alot! it was so confusing at first with so many types of HUBs included with different kits. haha
  18. DudeWazap
    Yeah, haha. That's why I am looking into getting maybe a splitter or something to have them all connected. Oh wow thanks thats super helpful. so I would just leave the fans that came with the AIO connected to the cooler pump and just connect the new fan into this fan hub and all should be good correct? I did have one more question since Corsair has so many hubs and it's a bit confusing to me since I'm new to RGB stuff. I do see that they have a ICUE Commander pro. is this a HUB to plug in any type of fan and LED strip by Corsair? I see it has 2 USB headers so I wouldn't need a splitter if it all goes on that correct?
  19. DudeWazap
    I currently own a Corsair H115i RGB platinum 280mm which I have on the top of my case and those 2 fans plug into the cooler itself to be controlled through ICUE software. I have 2 200mm fans that came with my Coolermaster H500m which are on their own fan and ARGB hub. then I just purchased the Corsair RGB LED strips that come with 4 strips and 1 Lighting Node Pro. So now I only have to replace the rear 140mm fan. I did see that the 2 pack of fans comes with a lighting node core but I wouldn't have a use for the 2nd fan. So wanted to see if I was able to control that single fan or will be forced to buy the 2 pack to get the lighting node core. Where would I purchase that $15 hub at?
  20. DudeWazap
    I am currently upgrading my PC fans and LED strips to RGB ones (for better performance of course) ha I just ordering the Corsair RGB LED Strips that comes with the lighting Node Pro. I only need one 140mm fan for the rear exhaust of my case since my Corsair AIO RGB cooler fans get connected to the cooler itself and can be controlled through there. I see that the Corsair RGB fans come with a "lighting node core" and not a "lighting node Pro" Does this mean I have to buy a lighting node core as well or am I able to plug everything into the one that comes with the LED strips? My motherboard only has space for 2 USB headers so I would have to buy a splitter to be able to run so many corsair lighting node's.

    I here alot of great thing about the Tomahawk but I will admit I am an Asus ROG fanboy lol. I have all Asus things in my PC so I just wanted to stick with an ROG board.
  22. DudeWazap
    I only have to buy a new motherboard, CPU and RAM. since I will keeping my Hardrives, SSD, AIO, Fans, PSU, GPU and Case from my current PC My budget is $1,000 USD. I was planning to get something with 8c/16t or if the rumored 10c/20t CPU is real I'd get that one. I gave all the time as well as edit 4k videos. my 4770k handles gaming fine but I can see it starting to show it's age when editing and rendering videos. my AIO is only a coupel months old and my Strix 1080ti still runs all my games fine with gsync. So I wont upgrade it until Nvidia releases a 3080ti.
  23. DudeWazap
    Yeah, I was wondering if it even made sense for AMD to launch a new board for a chip that they said will be the last to be on AM4, Also I was looking at B550 boards but, I would like to have the extra features like having Gen 4 CPU link instead of Gen 3. Also I wanted to have all the extra USB 3 gen 2 ports and a couple other features.
  24. DudeWazap
    I plan on upgrading my 4770k That I've had since it launched in 2013. I was initially planning to wait for the x670 boards to launch and buy both a Ryzen 4000 CPU and x670 mobo but, with all these recent hardware releases being sold out instantly by bots and scalpers (PS5, RTX cards) I was thinking I should maybe just get x570 since I can buy it now and it will work with 4th gen Ryzen. I also keep seeing alot of people say that there really isn't much at all that x670 can add feature wise that x570 doesn't already have since, DDR5, PCi e gen5 and USB 4 will be all on AM5 chips. Would it be best to just buy my new RAM and an X570 motherboard and just wait for the new Ryzen chips to launch to only have to worry about buying one item?
  25. DudeWazap
    Ah okay, thank you! I think I will be getting this one that way I can put my smaller one i take out of the laptop in here and just use it as a large external storage. https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SM2NGFFMBU33-M-2-SATA-Enclosure/dp/B00T8F298Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549562945&sr=8-3&keywords=external+m.2
