Hey everyone, I am currently thinking about upgrading my gaming rig, which has the following specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X RAM: 2x16GB of DDR4 G.Skill Trident Z at 3600MHz CL16 Mainboard: ROG Strix X570-E Gaming GPU: GeForce RTX 2070 Super I am running two 1440p montiors with up to 144Hz- I am currently playing mostly Warzone and VR (mainly Beatsaber) and sometimes a few other games with friends. I am thinking about getting a 5800X3D. As far as my understanding goes, the 3D cache is great for a stable framerate which could help with VR. My question: Since the new CPU would be around 275 EURO (so I guess about 300 USD) - can someone tell me if a 5800X3D is worth it with the rest of my specs and the games I am playing? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I am currently looking for a new 27 inch monitor. It should have either WQHD oder 4K nad at least 100+ Hz - since I am from Germany I suspect that 144Hz is the way to go. My price range is kinda flexible, however I don't want to spend a thousand Euros or anything crazy like that. Any suggestions for a monitor I should get? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I think I might go for the Samsung one!

Hey everyone, I am currently searching for a good SmartWatch. I am looking for one with good battery Life, notifications, control function for YouTube Background Play or YouTube music, health and step Tracking, Timer function and maybe payment function (Not required) I currently wear a Fitbit Charge 4. It's nice for health tracking but i don't like the notification and App Control features. Anyone got any recommandations? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, A friend of mine is thinking about getting a new laptop for some gaming. The game she is most interested in has a GTX 1080Ti recommended. The laptop she is looking at has a 3060 (i suppose mobile) in it. Has anyone any experience if the 3060 mobile can keep Up? Thanks in advance!

Yeah I guess that makes sense - do you guys think its worth to just upgrade to a new PSU (I don't trust the old one, I am thinking seasonic focus 850W?) and a 3080? Or can the 6700K just not keep up?

Hey everyone, I am helping a friend with his new gaming computer. Budget (including currency): up to about 2000 Euro - doesn't hurt if it costs less Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Gaming: War Thunder, Warzone, Ark Survival Evolved, Minecraft, Crusader Kings, Total War Warhammer (basicly all of them), Hell let lose Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Primary Display: Asus MG28U (As far as I know 4k 60Hz), Case (Enermax Thormax Giant) and Power Supply (CP-750W Plus - its called CombatPower and seems to be more on the low end, it doesn't have a 80+ Rating) So far I planned the following build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/RhwXMb Intel Core i7 - 12700K Noctua NH-D15 Asus Prime Z690-P Wifi D4 Cosair Vengeance PFB PRO SL 32 GB (3600MHz CL18) Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB Inno3D GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB Cost: Around 1500 Euro A few background informations: Right now he is using an i7 6700K and a GTX 1080. He recently bought the new GPU which didn't arrive so he got the money back. I only added the card because he wanted to get it. I just realized that the RTX 3060 seems to be worse (at least according to userbenchmark.com) then the GTX 1080. I think he should at least get a RTX 3070 if he wants a upgrade and use the 12700K better. I am just wondering: The RTX 3060 has 50% more memory then the RTX 3070, which could come in handy in games like Warzone. If he goes for a 3070 he would for sure need a besser PSU (well, I would advise one even with the 3060). Right now I am a bit clueless if an upgrade will be any good and if a RTX 3060 would be worth spending money. What do you think? Can somebody advise me what the best build for this budget would be?

So its been a while. I started using Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome and first, everything worked, not crashes...then I had one crash like one or two days ago and then today a crash when I was watching a youtube video and opened up twitch. I guess software problem is becoming more unlikely. At least the browser is unlikely I guess.

Already did a clean install of Windows with my new SSD. Yeah I will try running another browser for a while.

Already tried changing and turning XMP Off, nothing changed. Yeah I installed Windows 10 pro via a USB Stick I created using the media creation tool. Both times fresh download.

Hey everyone, I got a problem with my PC. It all started a bit after upgrading to a new system. My PC kinda freezes at random times, mostly while watching twitch and/or youtube. It kinda feels like my explorer crashes, since I can still move my mouse, but cant interact with explorer. sometimes I can close other tabs which are open. If I manage to get into taskmanager fast enough and restart the explorer.exe the problem fixes itself. Sometimes it doesn't. I already had memtest86 run for 6 hours, no problem. Also I had a CPU stresstest running, no problem either. Since I thought it might be a drive problem, I already replaced my 970 Evo SSD with a 980 pro (I also wanted the Gen4 speed) Since it may be important, here my setup: AMD Ryzen 3700X 32 GB Trident Z RGB RAM 3600 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ROG RTX 2070 Super Corsair RM650 NZXT H710i Main SSD: 980 pro Secondary SSD: Kingston 1 TB SA2000M81000G HDDs: 2 Old Sata Samsung drive which barely ever run So it could be a mainboard issue. But someone told me he read on google that it could be a software issue. I am using chrome for watching stuff with frankerfaceZ, darkmode and adblock running als extensions. in the background I got NZXT Cam and steam running in the background and used to have the asus rog software for managing the RGB stuff (even tho its not running currently). So do you guys think its a hardware or software issue? Can anyone help my with anything I can try? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I am looking for a new NVMe-SSD for my system. I am currently running a Samsung 970 EVO with 500 GB. Problem is my computer keeps crashing sometimes and my pc always wants to test my drive when booting up. Since I am running a 3700X and my Mainboard supports Gen 4, I was thinking about getting a Gen 4 one. I just discovered that Samsung has a Gen 4 one with its 980 Pro series. So my question: can anyone tell me if the 980 Pro is any good? or if any other Gen 4 SSD is better? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me. I wanna get LAN to my TV, PC, PS4 and everything in the living room. Sadly my connector for my router is in the bedroom. Since there is a long hallway and two other rooms in between, a LAN cable is sadly not an option. The Wireless isn't that great to the TV and everything else. So I got two ideas: either try DLAN, with which I had trouble in the past or using a Wifi receiver which has a output LAN port. So I was wondering if any of you has any suggestion which device could do a good and stable job, either DLAN or WLAN. Thanks in advance!
