    and PSUs change with it, you shouldn't pair a old design with new components

    Cheap/old components can fail, it is as simple as that. Even voltage ripple can kill components, regardless of whether or not the PSU itself does not fail. Also, voltage control is better on new PSU's.

    DailyProcrastinator got a reaction from Tristerin in NVMe virgin, what to expect   
    Hate to say this cause you already made the purchase but if you are moving from an SSD to NVME drive you probably won't notice any difference at all. 
     
    Also if you can close your current OS drive to the NVME drive that will be fine.

    DailyProcrastinator reacted to Jrasero in Dell Alienware AW3418DW and that G-SYNC life   
    Sold my Pixio PX347c Prime a 34" 3440x1440 100Hz VA Free Sync monitor and was able to snag a great deal and get a Dell Alienware AW3418DW for $625 from some guy on Craigslist who bought one from Dell in November but never opened. As soon as I met the guy he seemed a bit nervous and asked me to see the money right away and said that he never sold anything before. Anyway, he helped me load the box into my car and it was absolutely massive and weighed a ton. Compared to my Pixio box it was over twice the size.
     
    I will say the monitor was very well packed and if the monitor came broken someone would had to thrown it down a flight of stairs. So right away going to an IPS display I noticed the colors were vastly better than the Pixio VA panel and I kind of understood why people paid $1500 when this first came out. Even though both monitors are 3440x1440 the Alienware looks crazy sharp and made my Pixio look grainy. Also the Alienware is much brighter at only 70-75% brightness compared to the Pixio with 100% brightness. I guess the biggest reason for the cost of this monitor and the big selling point is G-SYNC and the 120Hz refresh rate. I have this hooked up to an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti and any imperfections I used to get especially in a game like PUBG are gone and game play is butter. I like the stand and the range of motion but it requires a big desk since it is very deep.
     
    So Dell has this for $1100 and change but 12% off, Microcenter for $850, and Newegg through Ebay had this at $750 the other day. I can say this monitor is 100% not worth $1000+ and $850 at Microcenter is really pushing it since really that's $925 with NY tax. The EBAY Newegg deal would have been $816 shipped including tax and I was very tempted to buy it at this price.  In 2019 if you can get this monitor for $850 or less shipped with taxes I'd say I would pick this over competing $500-$700 Free Sync ultrawides. In the end I was able to upgrade to this monitor for $175 after I sold my Pixio w/ an Amazon stand.  IMO not a game changing experience like the transition to ultrawide in general, but enough to make the 40 minute trip to Brooklyn to pick it up and the hassle of selling my old Pixio worthwhile.  My big advice if you are picking this up make sure you have a wagon/suv or some kind of transportation that can fit this massive box and probably bring a friend since it weighs a ton.  I am a little torn on whether or not to get a swing arm stand since I like the included stand since it has RGB, is ultra sturdy, and cable manages well, but it also takes a lot of room

    DailyProcrastinator reacted to Turtle Rig in Mice advice   
    No no do not touch Razer mice my friend.  Cosmetically they look and feel nice but the mouse sucks.  Ive had over 10 different Razer micei including the first one they ever made 20 years ago,, the Razer Boomslang ball mouse.  That was horrible.. Their mice are too sensitive and not proper.  If Im listening to music the mouse starts to dance all over the screen cuz of the bass.  Also when trying to compose music the mouse is shakey when bass hits and it moves.  Horrible.  Then I got Logitech and the problem was gone.  The mouse didnt move even 1mm with bass thumping.  Razer ils junk, Ive had their headphones too,, all junk.  If you want a real mouse that will give you no problems and not be soo sensitive then grab a Logitech.  What is your budget ?

    No, I wouldn't justify the tier list as a reason why someone could or could not have an issue with a PSU, but the OP asked if it was a bad PSU, without mention of an issue. To which I brought up that it is not a bad PSU, which is not an incorrect statement.

    DailyProcrastinator reacted to Semper in AIO Radiators   
    By-and-large, a majority of the AIO's on the market are OEM from asetek (some exceptions being CoolerMaster and DeepCool/Gamerstorm AIO's), so the radiators on most of them should perform functionally the same.

    Go with something from Corsair or EVGA that fits in your budget, they carry solid warranties.

    New thread I see. Just replied in your other one. The Asus XG32VQ isn't IPS so the panel isn't even in the same league. And like I said before, get the AW3418DW if the games you play won't reach 165FPS, if most games you play reach 165FPS get the PG279Q. That is how you will make the best decision.

    I already know what I'm gonna change once I have to change out the fluid: Reinstall the RGB kit on my waterblock. I removed it but now I think I would have looked nice.. Well
     
    I can't use this build yet, as I couldn't fill the reservoir up completly. The D5 pump was so strong that it produced foam inside of the loop.

    DailyProcrastinator reacted to nayman898 in Just Finished New Build   
    I just finished my first true build. I've built computers in the past, plenty of times. But never have I put as much time into one as I did into this. 

    Housing a Ryzen 5 2600X, a Radeon RX Vega 64, ASUS Crosshair VI Hero X370, and a Samsung 970 Pro NVMe 512GB SSD all topped off with an EK Nickel plated Reference Vega 64 Water block, and a Motherboard specific C6H Nickel Plated Monoblock. A ThermalTake 360mm x 32mm Radiator front mounted in a ThermalTake View 37.

    The only downside I have so far, is the Motherboard I have doesn't have any Adressable RGB Headers, so the Thermaltake RIING fans I have are not in sync with the motherboard. Otherwise, I am proud of the work I have done.
     
    Cable management is still in progress, These were taken immediately after I finished the Liquid Cooling loop, and it was mentally straining on me.

    But I am still open to suggestions, what should I do next? What can I improve on? How do I fix the RGB Syncing issues?

    Thank you for reading!

    Yes get the Corsair kit, you will not have any issues. You can overclock RAM, although for first timers it is usually "more difficult" than just standard CPU overclocking, the option is there though. That being said your mileage may vary, sometimes you can't overlcok your RAM at all as the system will crash other times you can do so easily, luck of the draw usually.
     
    And yes, you are correct by default your RAM will run at 2133MHz, you will need to set it to its max rated speed of 3200MHz in the Bios settings, there are great YouTube tutorial videos on how to do so. Just watch one specifically for a Ryzen system.
