    Marantz gear and B&W speakers are way nicer than starter. Not sure about those specific models but that setup is easily worth over $1500

    That gpu is solid, but the cpu can't keep up. I would rather get something like a ryzen 3200g/3400g and no gpu

    TheProfessionalAmateurs got a reaction from thedangerine in Rtx 2060 randomly acting weird   
    First I would try reinstalling drivers. If that does nothing, try reseating the gpu (taking it out and putting it back), if problems persist try anther pcie slot, if nothing changes, I would contact the manufacturer to get the card replaced.

    as it's intel, make sure to put the black plastic cover over the cpu pins before sending it back

    PSU fans are controlled using the PSU temperature. It should not be overheating, unless you have completely blocked the intake. Try disabling any overclocks.

    With Windows, most programs are impossible, or extremely difficult to transfer to another drive. Your best and safest option is to uninstall, and reinstall to the hard drive.

    the bandwidth of a full sized pcie slot is called 16x. a cpu can only have so much bandwidth to the pcie slots, intel z270 being 16x. you can put a total of 2 nvidia gpu's in the motherboard, (running at 8x bandwidth each which will not be a bottleneck) along with a m.2 ssd, since the intel z170, and z270 chipsets include a chip, which adds an additional 20 pcie lanes for storage, like an ssd.

    TheProfessionalAmateurs got a reaction from Zangashtu in Ducky Shine 6 vs Corsair K70 RGB vs Razer Deathadder Chroma X   
    Well, there is no objective "better" keyboard switch, it's all preference. I hate the switches in the logitech g910, but my friend loves them, there is no definitive best keyboard switch. You can't really generalize on build quality, and color, either since it varies between product in the same brand. What i'm saying is, when choosing a keyboard, everything is very subjective, and there is not one answer.

    I agree with this guy, I have a Corsair K70 RGB with cherry reds and absolutely love it and so does my friend, but another person I know has the Razer death green thingy whatever it is and I hate them keys but he loves them and vice versa with mine.
    I would say try them out first at a store or something, trust me it's really annoying buying something and then not liking how it feels when you can actually have it.

    TheProfessionalAmateurs reacted to ZeusXI in The smallest case...   
    not sure if mini-itx cases have the ability to have 2 pci slots since mini-itx mobo (to my knowledge so dont get mad at me) dont have 2 pci slots. i do know however, that some have 1 PCIe x1 and 1 PCIe x16, but not 2 of the same. Fractal node 202 is a good small form factor case. I honestly wish i got that case. as for m.2 slots, those are found on motherboards. i only see 1 on mini-itx cases. not sure how you are going to fit a liquid cooler inside a small form factor unless you do some case mods. can always just get the Noctua NH-L9a cooler which is small.

    TheProfessionalAmateurs got a reaction from TonyTheNain in 4790k vs 6850k vs 6700k   
    the 4790k/6700k/upcoming 7700k are the best cpu's for gaming because of their more powerful cores, but less of them. If the 4790k beat out the 6700k significantly, it is probably due to running the 4790k at a higher clock speed. The 6850k has more cores, but each core is weaker, which is better for certain rendering applications.

    Well, you have to have an overclocking motherboard, a cpu with an unlocked multiplier (you can tell if it has a "k" at the end of the model number), you need a decent cpu cooler, and finally, you may not get much overclocking out of your cpu at all. Its all just the "silicon lottery" meaning that all cpu's will overclock differently regardless of model number.

    Well, you'll loose about half of your speeds with sata 2. Also, I would get a more budget ssd, like western digital's, or a sandisk. The speeds are nearly the same, and for a much more affordable cost.

    Well first, nice spelling. Second, that is probably due to the stability of the motherboard. I had some similar issues in the past with an fx 8350 with an asrock 970 extreme 3 r2.0. There's really nothing that you can do about it, except getting a different motherboard.
