2700x or 9700k or wait till Ryzen 3000 series
TEHDARKSIDE replied to TEHDARKSIDE's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yeah, it can hinder frames from some games or just cause issues. Which is why I decided against it and also it's just more money being necessary spent, which I could use for my project car. -

I've toyed with the idea of crossfire with my current build, but I've never had to need more than one GPU for crossfire/SLI. Been using this build for 7 years now with very little upgrades to it and it's been fine, but with the release of CyberPunk 2077 and some other games that hopefully are going to be great I just need a system to run them pretty well at 1080p for the time being. I might upgrade to 144hz or 1440p in the future but my current monitors still work fine so I see no need upgrading them at this point in time, as long as they work I'm content. -

Well tbh, if the chipsets are the same. B450 sounds a little nicer for the budget side, I don't need multi GPU support, I don't need that many SATA connections, since I'm going M.2 with the next build and I'm not looking into getting a third HDD anytime soon, if anything I'm going to be upgrading my current dying C drive. So as long as it has decent VRAM cooling and I know the board is reliable, I'm content. -

Excuse the ignorance here, haven't been keeping up with current Ryzen mobos, but is there any inherent difference between a X470 vs a B450? Like what difference does it offer in comparison? -

Nope, unfortunately, while they ship here, I would have to pay a lot more in import tax. Typically we use Places like https://www.scan.co.uk, https://www.Overclockers.co.uk , https://www.Amazon.co.uk & https://www.aria.co.uk for PC parts. -

Newegg isn't much use for me, I live in the UK, but thanks anyway. -

Already have a Phanteks Enthoo pro, which I'm quite happy with tbh, so really no point in upgrading the case . I'm going to be buying a supernova g3 as well, already taken that into account for the overall build price. -

Standard 60hrz, If I do upgrade it would most likely be 144hz. I care more about smoother gameplay than the quality of graphics. -

Currently, 1080p, not really any plans to upgrade soon as I want to sort the pc out before I do anything else money wise. I have other things as I'm saving up for new car, project car etc. -

But with that I after m.2 support my current board doesn't support it. -

True, there's also the factor that it's the AM4 platform so with a UEFI flash it can be upgraded with most mid to high-end boards. -

Current is Fx 8320 with a Radeon 7870, so it's pretty dated already. Just been waiting till I got the funds for the build and the right time to build. Paydays in a few days so I thought I should get around to buying parts. -
Hey, So I'm putting to the side £1200 for a new build. Now the predicament is whether to go with a 2700x with a RTX 2070 or a 9700k with a RTX 2060. There's also the fact that apparently, the Ryzen 3000 is coming soon, so I don't know whether to wait for that to release. I'm going to be using 1080p and mainly used for games and small workloads Premier, Photoshop etc.

So after a bit of research I've come down to the decision of the ducky shine 6, cooler master pro L or the IKBC fb108. Can I get some help deciding on which one to get?

I'm currently running a Razer Lycosta, Razer Deathadder (2012) and a pair of Kingston Hyper X Clouds

OnePlus 3 case and screen protector?
TEHDARKSIDE replied to Big Baller Shot Caller's topic in Phones and Tablets
Haha, thanks had this for years now. I honestly don't know, your best bet would probably be eBay or Amazon to be honest. -

OnePlus 3 case and screen protector?
TEHDARKSIDE replied to Big Baller Shot Caller's topic in Phones and Tablets
I have the otter box op3 case and will say it is very good, but very bulky. This is because of how It is designed with a silicone interlayer that absorbs shock and a hard plastic shell to go over it, so I can vouch that it is good but as you mentioned very pricey for what it is. As for tempered glas, I am also looking into the official op3 glass but, they never have it in stock on the uk store. So I don't know about that. -
Hi, I have just got a one plus 3 about two weeks ago and I have been noticing that when I receive calls my ringtone goes off nit only in my headphones but also the loudspeaker. I was wondering if their is any fix to this? as this didn't happen on my old moto g (2013).

Hi, So I have been looking into a new phone, my current one (motorola moto g 2013) battery is dying, and I'm in need of a new one. So I'm in between the nexus 6P and the Galaxy S7. The reasons I want the 6P is because it's stock Android and I get updates on the day if release as well and touch wizz doesn't look as nice in my opinion as the material of stock , since it's slightly older I can pick it up cheap off of eBay and the on screen buttons as I have grown used to them, but I'm willing to go back to capacitive buttons. The reasons why I want to get the S7 is because of the longer battery, waterproof and dustproof, Expandable storage is a big deal for me as I use a lot of storage because of tv shows and my music library, I can get a better range of cases as it's more of a popular phone, the battery is also bigger than the 6p, and it takes micro usb and I have a lot of them lying around. So I'm kinda stuck, can anybody tell me their experiences with these two phones? Any help is appreciated, Thanks
