  1. Flip a coin. Tom's hardware rated 970 evo plus better, but they are both good.
  2. Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 or 360 or 420, whichever fits in your case. It's probably the best value and seems to be quite reliable, since it's an older design.
  3. Why not get a 2TB SSD in one slot? Also why aren't you getting 13700k?
  4. To add to that PCIe slots are only rated for 50 cycles, so it's not recommended to play with it all that often.
  5. Something like this maybe. It's under budget, but that is mostly because the PSU is on a huge sale.

  6. I don't see any issues with any of that. 2019 is brand new basically. You could get 13600K and a (relatively) cheap B650 motherboard instead. You're using DDR4 RAM anyway.
  7. That is true, I think it will help, but it probably won't be a requirement like on PS5 that the storage is fast enough or the game straight up stop working properly. So because of that backwards compatibility it should be less noticeable on PC. And because PCs have more places to buffer, not that it's much more.
  8. Use the first one. CPU has dedicated 16 PCIe Gen5 lanes and 4 PCIe Gen4 lanes. Then the chipset gets another 8 PCIe Gen4 lanes (not really, Intel calls it X8 DMI 4.0). But essentially you can use the 1 slot fully all the time and then the 2/3 are shared with everything the chipset does - USB, ethernet, wifi and etc. Not that you would notice really.
  9. I play 1440p120hz on my 65 inch LG CX, because I only have a 10m HDMI 2.0 cable and it's plenty sharp. Going to 4K definitely doesn't seem worth the penalty. But with 1080p I can see the jaggies and the UI in some games scales pretty poor, but that depends on the TV.
  10. Encode/decode will always add latency and controller inputs themselves have latency, so it will always be pretty bad for responsive games. I doubt the smart TV was the issue.
  11. It will be more than fine. 6800XT maxes out at 300W and the rest of the system basically uses like 200W max. Power supplies are always over estimated in the GPU recommendations, because they want to cover their asses and so they assume everyone is going to run a threadripper or raptor lake CPU in their system.
  12. Not even close. When gaming it will use like 350W. Nothing ever maxes out all the components at the same time, except stress benchmarks.
  13. What kind of SSD you got? If the drop is that big it could be a storage issue too.
  14. Why would LG put a DisplayPort in a TV? Also what are you going to play on a TV above 120Hz? Even 60 is smooth enough for controller/couch style games. And this is 4K we are talking about. Some older games will run at 4k above 120 fps, but I doubt it will last when next gen titles that drop ps4/xbone start coming out.
  15. It's bad compared to other NVME SSDs. Compared to hard drives though? Where are you pulling that from? P2 is a budget SSD and it's not something I would put in my recommended list, but it's still an NVME SSD so it's not going to become useless after a year as the other person claimed, it has nothing to do with DRAM either. The flash itself is slow and the downgraded version only has a 24GB cache so it slows down to snail speed after that, but how often you do actually move that many files? Not to mention it also makes no sense to recommend SATA SSDs to someone looking at NVME drives, just recommend a better NVME drive.
  16. I watch everything in 4K, download and seed torrents.
  17. I mean did you read the article? >This mostly applies to older, slower SATA-based SSDs like Western Digital’s WD Green drives or Crucial’s BX500 series. Doesn't apply to relatively new NVME based SSDs. The controllers are way smarter these days and the lack of DRAM is much less of an issue, if at all.
  18. You are straight up the only person that has ever claimed this that I have seen, and I tried looking it up. And for it to be slower than a HDD? What? Can you show me where you have seen this?
  19. Okay, but why would that lead to the drive dying in a year? That's just not happening. This DRAMless paranoia is getting out of hand seriously. New NVME drives without DRAM are all performing as good as the older drives with DRAM.
  20. You could try to reseat it, maybe bad connection. Or it's overheating and turning off.
  21. M.2 NVME without DRAM is always going to be faster than SATA drive with DRAM, where are you pulling this knowledge from?
  22. You can check the health of your drives. CrystalDiskInfo works good.
  23. Do you run 3 benchmarks in a row on a daily basis? Just keep reducing the voltage until it crashes (or you're satisfied with the power draw) and then bump it back up a little bit.
  24. What exactly do you mean it doesn't let you switch back, does the HDMI audio option disappear completely?
