Thank you very much!

OK so there won't be any issues. I keep getting advices that even with same part numbers the cables might be a bit different and it's best to use the one coming with the psu but I don't get it, if a cable is faulty won't they send another type 4 as a replacement let's say?

My bad I was looking at the RM series! So are the cables exactly the same in both cases?

Hi all! I have a Corsair RM650x 2018 (white label) psu. I want to upgrade to a RM750x or RM850x 2021 (black label). Due to various reasons I can't and don't want to change the cables, just swap the psu. I know that many people don't recommend this, but Corsair in its compatibility chart states that only the 24pin cable needs to be changed (type 3 on current psu, type 4 on the new) which can be done, the rest are exactly the same. Since it's the same brand and psu subcategory, am I going to have any problems I don't know of? Thanks in advance!

On my Z390 Aorus pro, Fusion can't even see the Trident Z and I am stuck with its default rainbow effect...fucking annoying...

Hi. I recently upgraded to a Z390 Aorus pro with a pair of G.Skill Trident Z 3200/C14 GTZR RGB. No matter what I try, Fusion 2.0 cannon recognize the RAM. Motherboard and Phanteks Halo are OK and controllable but G.Skill is totally off. I tried uninstalling it and trying the G.Skill RGB control app (standalone without any other RGB software on the PC) but even that although it could recognize the RAM couldn't control the RGB and I am stuck with a rainbow effect... When I uninstall something I go deep, registry and ProgramData/AppData deep, to make sure nothing is left behind... I am at a loss here, if anyone has some solution I would be glad to try it.

Hi. I am quite new to this sport so I decided to use XTU yesterday and see what happens. Long story short, I got stable full load results with aida64 and prime95, with -0.100mv offset, 4.6GHz on all cores with 1.2v and ~65 degrees. Is that a decent result or my silicon lottery sucks? 5GHz oc is unstable with the above offset plus the temperatures are in the 85 degrees area so I will pass for now, I don't need it anyway. Something curious though. If I set the -0.100 offset directly in bios and uninstall XTU, Windows won't even boot. My mobo is an Asus ROG Strix Z390 H gaming with latest bios. Don't know what's going on or what I am missing with the bios offset tbh... Thanks in advance!

Cool I see...thanks for the help and the suggestion!!!

Great I see. When I said FRONT it's a misunderstanding, I didn't mean the front audio jack of the case, but the green one back on my mobo which is labeled as such, my bad for not clarifying it. I will go for the 250ohm so K3 is out of the game. Atom will be preferred most probably over K5 I keep reading stellar reviews. Regarding the DAC, I will have to settle with the onboard for the moment as it seems...

So to sum up, you suggest getting my DT 770 pro 250 Ohm, along with Atom and not worry much about my onboard DAC? I will connect the amp via RCA to 3.5mm cable with the FRONT output on my mobo unless I am wrong?

I've just reading about the Atom it's a more solid choice indeed. But whatever amp I will buy, it will connect only with the onboard DAC, I don't have space or want more items on my desk. If my onboard dac is on par with the K3 then it's a no brainer combo, mobo DAC/Atom. If not, I have to think of a sound blaster G6 complete dac/amp solution...

Hi. I am about to buy a DT 770 pro headphone. Use will be 80% gaming (using HeSuVi for surround effect) and 20% all the rest (music, movies, youtube etc). I am mostly interested in gaming though. I have 2 options. Either go for a FiiO K3 and ignore the onboard soundcard or use the onboard soundcard (Realtek codec S1220A, Asus ROG Strix Z390 H Gaming) along with only an amp like FiiO K5 or JDS Atom. Since HeSuVi will take care of the surround, I am interested in which of the above options will give me the better sound quality. The onboard dac (which is one of the best onboard audio has to offer) or the K3 external one? Thanks in advance!

Hi all. So I have the following problem. I am about to purchase a good Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80ohm for my gaming rig. My motherboard is an Asus ROG Strix Z390 H Gaming with a ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A. I want an amp. And I want HeSuVi too. But the source for HeSuVi must already support 7.1 surround so solutions like a FiiO K3 amp/dac won't work because Windows "see" them as stereo only. I've thinking of getting a FiiO K5 amp only and connect it via RCA to the FRONT analog output of my mobo. But I keep getting opinions on how trash onboard audio and DACs are. What's your opinion on the aforementioned amp alongside with my onboard DAC? Moreover, is there another solution you may want to propose? Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I am no pro. Half of my PC usage is on Office/browsing, the rest divides between movies (with HDR where applicable) and casual PS4 Pro and PC adventure/RPG/action RPG/platform gaming with HDR where applicable too. 1440p IPS panel is a must and I have no use or need for a 4K or high refresh rate monitor, 75Hz overclocking in worst case scenario if needed. I have tested 144Hz monitors and saw no difference with the games I play so... My aim is better build quality, better panel and overall picture quality and color reproduction. I play my games with maxed out graphics and 1440p 60/75Hz is more than enough for me as stated above. BenQ is pre-calibrated and Technicolor approved, Dell on the other hand is one of the 11 monitors that has the -not shitty 400 or 500- HDR600 certification and wider color gamut (please let's not start the true or fake HDR argument, we are talking about 500€ monitors here and HDR600 is considered somehow respectable HDR entry level). Both have received very good to excellent reviews and their pricing and warranty are similar in my region. BenQ has better ergonomics and port selection but it's not something I care about, better final picture quality is what I am after. https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/13b69a0f1 https://www.benq.com/en/monitor/designer/pd2710qc.html https://www.dell.com/ed/p/dell-s2719dc-monitor/pd Futhermore, if smn has worked with any of these two monitors, please share your experience.

depends of the games you play and the picture quality you are after.

Since my GPU is fairly powerful, I was thinking of just overclocking the monitor at 75Hz with Vsync on and play all the games with 75fps @ 1440p no matter the connection type. No need for Freesync or anything in that case or at least not until 2080 starts falling below 60fps with games in 1440p right?

Well, the monitor comes with a USB C cable, I already have an HDMI 2.0 cable but the most convenient will be the one that actually works best

Hi all. I have a Palit 2080 Super Jetstream. I wish to buy a Dell S2719DC monitor which only has a USB Type-C input supporting DP-over-USB-C alt mode and an HDMI 2.0 connections. I wish to overclock the monitor to 75Hz which is doable according to other owners in Reddit and use the Freesync option if it is of course compatible with the newest drivers. Which connection do I use? Option 1: Connect them via their USB C ports. Option 2: Connect them via a Display Port (RTX) to USB C cable (monitor). Option 3: Use the HDMI 2.0. Thanks in advance!

Nah, all settings were good, I found out what was wrong. "As is common on many VA panels (particularly Samsung SVA panels), the subpixels are a bit squat. That is to say they are relatively wide but short, with relatively large gaps between rows. This has a slight impact on text clarity, making some text appear somewhat softer than it might on models with other panel types but similar pixel density. This can be alleviated to an extent by running through ClearType but not cured. Although it’s not something we found problematic when reviewing the model and many users would find the text clarity just fine, it does have an impact and is something that some users would find bothersome." Slight impact my ass. Sure, the fact that I come from a 4K is an issue, but this is total hardware shit unfortunately. Will try an IPS 1440p panel just in case I won't have that kind of problem.

Hi. I am an owner of an Asus MX27UQ 4K monitor and I decided to move to a 1440p 144Hz VA panel the Samsung C27HG70. Apart from the obvious ppi reduction, I was surprised by how shit the text looked on this panel. It seemed like I was reading a text in a lower resolution panel without any AA going on...and generally even from a 80-90cm long distance, I felt like I could distinguish the pixels... Is this a VA panel issue? Do IPS 1440p panels suffer from the same issue as well?

Valid points all and thank you for your answers. The specific choice for the poll was made for 2 main reasons. My available space which doesn't support a proper 34" ultra wide in order to up the res and the Hz and ofc the prices in my country. But mostly it's the lack of space. And since I am not a competitive gamer (platforms, adventures, RPGs) I was wondering if the 21:9 experience, even in a 1080p 29" screen is enough to surpass an excellent 1440p 144Ηz panel. Plus, the lower res on the ultra wide, could enable my rig to last a lot longer gamewise, even with the sacrifice of 75Ηz.

I see. Well, I ordered 2 monitors, one of each from amazon for testing. They do give a 30 day return/full refund period if I am not satisfied with either or both of them so let's see what's gonna be.

So, I know this has been debated in the past years a lot, but as things are now, for non competitive gaming like RPGs, which is your preference?

So quick help please. I have (was practically given) an ASUS MX27UQ 4K 60Hz monitor, which is a great monitor, color and resolution wise, but it crashes my RTX 2080 below the 50 fps region. I play normal paced games like Witcher, Darksiders, Mass Effect, stuff like that, nothing like CS:GO, Overwatch or Fortnite... So I want to sell it and move to a 1440p 27" monitor. Samsung C27HG70 ticks all the boxes but I have no clue if the VA quantum dot panel is as good as a similarly priced IPS one, let's say the ASUS MG279Q. Samsung is nVidia Freesync compatible I dunno about the Asus. My prios are picture quality hands down > high refresh rates > all the rest. In paper the Samsung monitor > the Asus one, but it still is VA vs IPS and I don't know if I am losing in picture quality moving to quantum dot VA from an excellent IPS. Thank you in advance for any answer/help.

I see. So the other question, shall I have it enabled in BIOS just in case for troubleshooting or a possible second screen or disable it for power/thermal reasons even though I won't be using it?
