    Often I have to open my laptops too for cleaning and changing the thermal paste. So I was thinking of ordering this. Is it too much? .
  2. TweaknFreak
    Thanks. And what about the mobo standoffs and rest of the things?

    Hi community. I'm looking for a new build in the coming June. So I was wondering what all tools I'm gonna need to build a PC. My planned config is - i5-8600K ASRock Z370 Taichi Cooler Master ML240 RGB AIO cooler G.Skill TridentZ 2x8 GB 3200MHz Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme edition Corsair RM650X 650 W modular Fractal Define Meshify C (or Lian Li PC-O11 Air, if its available) LG 27UD68 4k@60Hz I think I'll need Phillips screwdriver, preferably one with a long shaft( ) but I'm confused what number to get. Most folks recommend the #1 and #2. Please recommend the rest(like for fitting in the mobo standoffs and heatsink) and resolve my confusion. Thanks in advance

    You see if I order from Newegg then I would have to pay hefty customs duty. The LG on is available locally here for around INR 35-38k and the local price of the Predator is INR 50k
  5. TweaknFreak
    Actually the Predator XB241HU costs INR 50000 here( around USD 700).

    Damn I didn't notice it was TN panel. Now I'm back to the LG one.

    Just came across this Samsung UHD monitor This fits comfortably in my budget althought I think its missing that 3 axis adjustment thing. Any thoughts on this?
  8. TweaknFreak
    Yeah that's the issue. I have to look for anything within USD 400. USD 450 is the maximum I can stretch
  9. TweaknFreak
    I see. I'll have a look then.
  10. TweaknFreak
    Well the reason I chose 8400 is that i would only play games on it and nothing else. No productivity, video editing and other stuff. Do you think that i7 is necessary for a gaming rig?
  11. TweaknFreak
    that does look good but sadly it wont ship to my country or even if it does the price would be staggering. I'm limited to brands like LG, Asus, Samsung and some models of Benq to choose from. AOC and Acer are something I would like to avoid(Acer Predator series is good but not affordable for me)
  12. TweaknFreak
    Wow that monitor looks nice but is way over my budget. Thanks for replying though. Looks like G_Sync is way more expensive than I thought
  13. TweaknFreak
    I see. But there are no 144Hz monitors with IPS panels. All I see in TN panels. I think IPS might have a limitation in terms of refresh rate, maybe. I have seen TN and VA monitors, just can't get used to that. IPS is what I need and 60Hz should be fine for now. Maybe upgrade after a couple of years to higher refresh rates should be do able.

    Thanks for clearing that up. So should I get a G-Sync monitor as I won't be having above 60Hz and GTX 1080 can pretty much handle above that in 1440p I think.
  15. TweaknFreak
    Thanks. But suppose my GPU is rendering frames at 100Hz or more but I use a 60Hz monitor. Will this cause an issue and will G-Sync benefit me in this? Sorry if my questions are noobish, new to this pc building thing. My planned config is CPU i5 8400 Heatsink Deepcool Gammaxx GT RGB Mobo Asus H370 STRIX RoG GPU Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Edition RAM Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 2667MHz Chasis Fractal Define Meshify C TG PSU Corsair RM650-X 650W I forgot to mention, I'll only play games on this rig and I play FPS, RPG, racing and Football simulation games only

    Hey folks. I've been a laptop user for the past couple of years due to my extensive travel. But now time has come to put together a rig that can handle games without issues at 1440p or maybe at 4K at dialed down settings. I'm not a hardcore gamer or such so I'm more than comfortable at 60hz gaming. So my questions are : Should G-Sync benefit me at 60Hz, since I'll get a Nvidia GPU. What is the most pocket friendly monitor that I can find with 4K resolution and has G-Sync at 60hz(144Hz and all are not of my use as such) I'll be buying stuff from India, so I have set my eyes on a LG 27UD68 monitor. This gives me headroom to upgrade to 4K down the line when it becomes mainstream and I don't want anything smaller than 27" for my monitor. Thanks for your time

    Alrighty, thanks for the tip.
  18. TweaknFreak
    But will the ASrock utility be able to control fan RGB lights, like the ones in Riing?
  19. TweaknFreak
    Suppose, if I were to get ASRock AB350 Pro4 Socket AM4 mobo, which has RGB headers, is there any way to make it Asus Aura Sync comaptible with some addon device/controller? Sorry if the question is dumb, kinda a noob here. Thanks in advance for your answers.

    I meant CPU speeds. Just saw a video of Linus saying going over 2133Mhz in RAM isn't worth it for people on a budget. Got confused about the RAM again, have to reconsider the sticks I'm buying
  21. TweaknFreak
    It does say that the AIO is compatible now http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/company/press-release/corsair-is-ready-for-amd-ryzen According to the ASrock site, they have listed model numbers of specific RAM modules that will work on the mobo, although speeds may drop a bit. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4/index.us.asp#Memory What maximum speed can I expect without crossing the voltage limit by too much from this setup?

    Hey folks! I will be putting together a gaming rig with and am looking to overclock to 4 - 4.4Ghz to unleash the full potential of Ryzen. Here are the parts I'm going with CPU Ryzen 5 1600X USD 229.99 Mobo ASRock X370 Gaming K4 Socket AM4 Motherboard USD 179.99 Heatsink Corsair H100i USD 109.99 I wanted to know whether this can be done on the above components or not. Please share your thoughts, thanks in advance.
  23. TweaknFreak
    Swapping out the CPU and Mobo with AMD counterparts gives this. Also added a AIO cooler from Corsair but that will cost me another USD 20. CPU Ryzen 5 1600X USD 229.99 Mobo ASRock X370 Gaming K4 Socket AM4 Motherboard USD 179.99 Heatsink Corsair H100i USD 109.99 How will this fare?
  24. TweaknFreak
    OK, then the OP needs to get Win10 license. Thanks for the tip
  25. TweaknFreak
    You activate Windows 8.1 with your key and then install the updates to get Windows 10. Not sure this will work but worth a shot
