  1. I'm currently a desktop user but I need to fully migrate to laptops because of space, my specs are Ryzen 5 1600, RX 580 8gb, 8gb ram, and dual 1080p 144hz monitor. Up until now this pc pretty much satisfy all my needs. Therefore I need a laptop that are equal or better in performance with my pc. I was considering the Flow X13 3050ti without EGPU but I was too late and now its all out of stock, I can't preorder because I need it this week. I'm also considering Zephyrus G14 but it doesn't have webcam which is inconvenient, but if it is the best choice I might reconsider the webcam inconvenience. If the G14 is the best overall which type should I get? With the same budget of Flow x13 I could get RTX 3060 model. Also if the Flow x13 would suddenly be available, should I stick with the Flow or buy G14 anyway? This is mainly for college and some gaming (possibly heavier AAA games in the future), no programming or heavy productivity, but I like my tools to be able to handle a lot of things and be convenient for a long time (4+ years). My future setup would be the laptop + one(or two) extra 144hz monitor connected to a hub, I will be using it 8-12 hours a day. If there are other possible options than the ones I mentioned please recommend, I'm not entirely stuck with asus. Thank you.
  2. I was wondering if anyone here owns this laptop for months already and could you tell your experience using it? (battery, speed, and overall quality after months of usage) I'm making a decision on whether to get the 13inch Ryzen 7 4700U with 16/512gb or the 8/512gb. The price for the 16gb used (bought in April 2021, so basically new) is the same as the 8gb new. The 15inch 16/512gb version is cheaper but with Ryzen 5 4500U. I am a student and I need it to be light but also could sustain a few years, would the 15" R5 be the best value or the 13" R7 used would be better? I'm also considering Lenovo flex 5 (way cheaper in my country with the same spec) but I've seen plenty of bad user review and overall reviews said Envy is better. If you could suggest a better value alternative, I would really appreciate it.
  3. The G29, last time I used this wheel it worked fine, so I don't know what happened maybe because I used too much FFB?
  4. I recently wanted to play with my old G29 wheel again after few years. The wheel, pedal, and H shifter all worked fine but sometimes when I turn quickly the buttons started to not work, I tried cleaning and re plugging the connectors inside but nothing works. I read that if only connecting the USB to PC will power the buttons without the Power supply, which is correct and all buttons are working fine but when I plugged the power supply all buttons just won't work. Pedals, H shifter, and the wheel works fine except all the buttons on the wheel. I used Wheel Tester to test all the buttons (downloaded from Microsoft Store) Please help me fix this issue, thanks.
  5. I've re installed windows 10, previously I can set custom refresh rate on both of my monitors (both on 1920x1080). But right now in Radeon settings I've specifically set Display 2 to display 100hz but the settings can only be applied on Display 1, Display 2 only goes for default refresh rates (60, 75, 120, 144). Radeon ver 19.9.2 2 monitor set to extend.
  6. (Logitech G703 WIRELESS mouse) I do not know(or even care) if someone already found this or not. So it's been months since the mousewheel problem existed but the only fix I found where ever is to update the firmware, it doesn't work on mine. I tried everything but the only thing that work is by plugging it in directly, it's so simple and it's also so silly because it's a WIRELESS mouse but for it to be working correctly it needs cable?! That means the problem is the USB dongle. I'm wondering if there is a link for buying the logitech dongle only? Or is there any other fixes except just updating the firmware? Please let me know because I really need this mouse working WIRELESSLY
  7. I have a dual monitor setup, I use both DP 1.2 and I use freesync. But when I play any game the second monitor always flickers(black screen) as if the DP cable was reinstalled. My current solution to this is changing the second monitor to go DP 1.1 but that disables freesync, how do I fix this? I want to use freesync on both monitors. Also if I buy a DP 1.4 cable, would my monitor also go 1.4 or it depends if the monitor supports it or not?

    Cloud II Soundcard

    So I just broke my factory cloud II soundcard by doing something I don't know (it's not ripped or anything but it's not detected in any of my computer). I couldn't afford to buy a soundcard from HyperX because they're just too expensive, I was wondering could there be an alternative method so I can use my mic and audio like usual without having to buy an expensive soundcard? Also if you didn't know the cable of the Cloud II is very short without the soundcard I made sure the soundcard was broken because it only lights up when I plugged it in but it doesn't get detected and if I pressed the 7.1 button it doesn't light up only the LED light that comes up EDIT: I disassembled the soundcard and figured there was a green cable broke off the solder, I soldered it back again and it was fixed.
  9. The answer I was looking for! Thanks so much.
  10. I have a Ryzen 5 1600 and a RX 580, I'm planning to get 2 Acer KG251QF, 1 in the center for gaming and on the side for other stuff. Is it possible to get stable 144fps+ ingame if both monitor active? For example 1 gaming and the side is browsing/discord/youtube. Recommendations on other 144hz monitor in the same price range or lower is appreciated Thanks
  11. Would something from tier 2-3 from the PSU tier list be good enough for what I'm trying to achieve? The only thing I can afford in the tier 1 is the Bitfenix Whisper M 550W Also no, I can't return it because I made this build in mid 2017 rip
  12. I'm a beginner with overclocking. I think I went 1.4V on the CPU when I got 3.8Ghz. I tried 1430Mhz which is 5Mhz above the OC+ clock based on XFX's website, max I got is using the OC+ settings XFX gave. I will try increasing the power limit on the GPU, thanks.
  13. I don't think so, all I did was edit the frequency on Radeon settings WattMan
  14. I've decided I want better performance with my PC, the current build is a Ryzen 5 1600 with XFX RX 580 and a Seasonic M12II-520 520W. I tried overclocking my cpu, I once got 3.8Ghz stable but then I tried OCin my GPU just a TINY bit, it crashed and now I put everything on base clock just to be safe. Would I get better OC with a bigger watt PSU? I'm currently looking at Seasonic S12II-620 620W or if there's something better please recommend me. Thank you.
  15. Thank you peeps, I appreciate the replies. He might be settled with 5T.
  16. Noted. Do you know something else ?
  17. A friend came to me asking reccomendations for phones, I can't say much since I don't really know much about phones in general. He's looking for something fast and last long, his whatsapp groups are many and thousands of chats keep coming in from different apps. What do you think will go the best for him? Also he asked about difference between 4gb, 6gb, 8gb of ram, do they really matter? I have an S8 with 4gb of ram and it has no lag but will there be a difference since he uses multiple apps and many chats come in every minute? Size and looks doesn't really matter for him and no games. Thanks.
  18. Is there such thing? By modular I mean you can take the numpad off, not replace your switch. A simple google search only gives me ROG Claymore, which is very expensive and has a bad design on the base(imo).
  19. Go to rocketjumpninja's youtube/website, he is the most throughout mouse reviewer that I know
  20. Guys, nevermind this, turns out the H7 and Macho is both too big for my case. I guess I'll look for 240mm AIO. Thanks for helping me this far.
  21. This is my case, picture from official page . Is it one of those that doesn't have great airflow? If I bought used 2 set of AF120 (1 on top, 1 behind, 2 front) it should be enough, right? Also, do you know which is better Cryorig H7 or Macho RevB?
