I put the Tv in game mode and took everything off that I could find in the tv settings and change my limited options to full in my resolution settings and still nothing I might just have to replace it and get another brad or something .

Hi everyone I am using a 65-inch 4k TV as a monitor, Linus and Jay did a video on it...a LG 65SJ8500. Before I get into more detail's I Had a Samsung 55 inch 4k TV as a monitor before this 1 and and had no problems at all. I am running this on a ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme. So my problem is that my program icons and folders have horizontal lines that I can see but if I go into games I don't see any lines. The only other problem I am having is that the colors in the games are washed out a lot and HDR games don't look good at all. When I connect to the Samsung monitor with the same cable the lines are gone so I am not sure what it is.Please don't kill me I know I can get a really good monitor for the price of the tv but I love the big size and I just can't go back to a small monitor. My only main games are world of warcraft , diablo 3 and some overwatch with whatever in between. I will upload some pics so you can see what i am dealing with and you see it better in the origin logo. The camera is not picking it up good for some reason. Still a noob here, don't know a lot about screens . If nothing works I will just replace it with the Samsung mu7000 or mu8000 or sony X900E.

Hi I upgraded my cpu from a 8350 to a 5820k and everyone was saying that i need to overclock it ... Scared shitless I decided to try an give it a shot. My spec 5820k cpu , Gigabyte x99 sli, Motherboard ,xfx295x2, EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 psu, 16gb corsair 2666 ram, Corsair h110. The only thing I change in the bios is the CPU Clock ratio from 33. to 45 Cpu-z Says Core Voltage is sitting at 1.251, And I ran the stress test AIDA 64 for 1 hr with no problems, Temp 62-65. If I bump it up 1 more time the pc will not load into windows. Please let me know if I am messing anything up and what you think I should do from here ? Am i good with this speed or not ? I never overclock anything before so I am a major noob when it come to anything overclocking any help will be nice thank you.

Help Ordering CPU soon 6700k or 5820k
silosmith replied to silosmith's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Thanks for all the help looks like 80% of you guys said got with the 5820k so might just pick it up. It is going for about 100.00$ less than the 6700k so i save some money there for my motherboard I guess. I live next to a microcenter so i will just pick it up in store. -
Hi everyone I am upgrading from an 8350 and thinking about the new 6700k or the 5820k . I normally play wow on 3 - 27 inch monitors - 1 4k and 2 1080 monitors. Sometimes I'm running all 3 monitors at 1080p max ultra settings & sometimes I just use the 4k monitor on ultra settings on wow or battlefield 4 running with no problems with my 295x2. I never had and intel chip before and didn't do too much research back when I built this pc so more cores look better to me at the time. lmfao Don't kill me please, I see now that more cores are not always everything. I am still a noob when it comes to building a pc lol. So the final thing is the motherboard and the chipset x99 or z170. When I look around on the forum and other sites and videos it looks like the x99 is really good but the z170 is the latest. I saw linus video about the 2 mother boards but i am still lost as to which 1 to pick. Any help will be good thanks.

Hi I am thinking about adding 1 more gpu to my r9 295x2 but I am not sure how the ram on the new card should be and I am thinking of getting the 8gb 390x. Does it matter if the card is 4 gb or 8 gb? I ask because of the whole thing of only being able to use only 4 gb of 8gb when in crossfire. I am not 100% sure how the ram would work if I crossfire it with my 295x2 . If 8gb does not matter I can just fall back and get a 290x 4 gb or something. And would 1300W psu be enough? I use 3 monitors one 4k monitor. Thanks for any help.

yes i took a pic of my menu. Thanks i will download it and see how it goes.

Hi I Just upgraded to the Crossover 404K from my Samsung U28D590D . I really like it so far and I didn't think this monitor came with amd freesync but it did and I dont know where to start with freesync. I looked up some videos and I saw that there is a FPS window that it needs to work with no problems. But I dont know what the window is for this monitor and I don't know how to test for the fps window I need . I am using a 295x2. The strange thing is that they did not say anything about this monitor having freesync when I ordered it but I am happy that it is on the monitor. This is the Ebay link i got it from ........ http://www.ebay.com/itm/400953352143%C2'> Any help would be nice thanks.

Hi again everyone i just got a 295x2 and i was wondering if my cpu will bottleneck it. So i started looking online and almost 80% of the websites i visit they all said yes it will I am running an sabertooth 990 fx with and 8350. I just got a 4k monitor last year for christmas and the 295x2 for my birthday. I am asking all of this because it looks like need to move over to intel so I will not get a bottleneck I am lost when it comes to anything intel I don't have lot's of cast right now but I am looking into some motherboards and cpu's, And lol I just feel lost I have been only working with amd for so long so I really never had to keep up with intel stuff . So if you guys don't mind pointing me into the right direction just trying to start off somewhere where i will not get bottleneck then I will keep moving up from there. Only games i play are Wow BF4 and Hardline . Thanks for all the help Guys/Girls.
