  1. Thanks for the info, if I'm replacing everything that definitely opens up my possibilities as I can look into other brands. I just checked and my sticks are single rank.
  2. Hey everyone wondering on your thoughts about adding an additional 16gb of ram or 32gb to my system. I know I haven't really heard of systems running 48gb. I just saw the matching kit at 45$ difference between 16gb and 32 gb. Used marked does not have anything in my area. I'm using 50% memory just multi-tasking on youtube (watching LTT) and browsing the web. When gaming on easy peasy games I keep one screen on youtube and the game on the other I hit 90% usage. Chrome is so Ram hungry. So if it was your build would you get the 32gb and run 48gb or just get 16gb or run 32gb and try to sell the other 16gb? Thanks for all your input!
  3. Hi everyone, my DF-85 is starting to get noisy as the fans are starting to go. On a tight budget with everything the way it is nowadays. Looking for suggestions on either cheap but silent fans vs getting a case with enough airflow to cool my 3080. I can't justify getting another case due to this one doing the job however if its cheaper than replacing 4-7 fans I can live with it. Thanks!
  4. Yup I had it replaced once under warranty and now it's 2 years on and off... but I recently started gaming a lot more and my patience for FPS with no sound is a lot shorter than a racing game that the sound cuts out.
  5. I just "upgraded" from my G930 wireless headset to the G935s. Did anyone else make the move and feel like it's not an upgrade at all? The volume is too low, the sound in stereo mode is pathetic and they were 200$. The only reason I changed is that my G930s disconnect every few minutes for 10 seconds or so and I can't stand it anymore. I would just think that jn the 10 years I've owned them they should sound a lot better, or at least have something better. I've watched a bunch of reviews and a bunch of suggestions and I found that upgrading from a model that I enjoy to the newer model should be a good move. Am I the only one that made this move and is disappointed? I also haven't found the option for the sound profile switching that automatically switches from stereo to surround mode. The stereo mode is laughable and would need a whole separate eq just for that as LTT does not sound right. Has anyone found a way to tune the eq to get more volume from them? Thanks for any help you guys have?
  6. Thanks for that but no luck, still a black screen as if thats the snap that was sent however the name and timer appear but I can open it again and again. I've also noticed that the phone seems to have trouble loading video on YouTube or messenger while in calls aswell.
  7. It's not that they're less important its to see what they're actually telling me. It's a great way to send information to a colleague while in a call.
  8. Just got my s20+ and I cannot open any snapchats while I am on the phone in a voice call. The app loads and opens but when it comes to opening a snap the screen shows as if the snap was a black screen and it doesn't go dissappear afterwards as if I didn't open it. I already cleared cache and app data aswell as uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy with no luck. EDIT: Possible useful information would be that my s9+ did not have this issue with the same carrier
  9. I currently have a horrible Zyxel Emg2926(free rental from my ISP) and the range is absolutely terrible. The speeds are fine as I only have a 120Mb down and 30Mb up, that's all that's available in my area. I am looking to have way more range as well as a constant connection. At times the router goes down completely and after a factory reset (pushed by my ISP) it works for a little while. I have around 15 clients connected from various Google homes, phones, tablets, game consoles and a smart TV so I'm not looking for an extender as the router seems to be overtired. I also have smart light switches and WiFi timers running off the router (which messed up my pool balancing as the router went down and did not send the signal to my timer to turn it off). Basically I'm looking for something for a 2 story home with better range and more reliability for around 100 CAD if possible, I'm going to try to hassle my ISP but might be better off spending my own money and negotiating a reduction on my bill to compensate for this 'free' rental. Thanks for all your help!
  10. I'm kind of torn in answering your question. I had a similar dilemma when I purchased my 3600 and was checking different builds aswell as benchmark results and the 3600 does beat the 2700 in gaming as the extra cores are not yet useful. I went with a 3600 and my friend a 2600 and to be honest there was no real noticeable difference. I in no way regret my purchase and find that in terms of future proofing I'm glad ingot the 3600 but had there been a larger price difference would've been just as happy with the 2600. I would reccomend something in the range of a 1070 or 1080 as a gpu if you do want that higher refresh rate and with the latest rtx cards you can get those on the cheap.
  11. It would be a great combo however it's a 500$ combo in canada.
  12. I'm looking for boards with 2 m.2 slots aswell as intel lan with possible wifi. I did not see any boards in the same price range with bios flashback and my other criteria besides gigabyte which uses a different vrm setup on the lower tier boards.
  13. I agree however it is a 38% price increase for 15% performance. I'm just wondering how much I "need" the performance if my 2500k can almost handle my current use. I'm telling myself newer architecture plus hyperthreading and 2 more cores should handle it just fine?
  14. I was planning on upgrading my current system to a ryzen 3600 on an x570 board. This morning I see a pretty decent sale on a 2600x under 200$ brand new and the b450 motherboards are also cheaper with a decent vrm. Looking at the b450 pro carbon. For those who have either cpu would you pay 90$ more for a 3600 from a 2600x? For those running a 2600x are you able to run 3600mhz ram at the ideal 2:1 ratio with the infinity fabric on a pro carbon? (My research was all learned towards the 3600) I use my current system for gaming mostly the rest will obviously be handled as my current rig can support it. Total savings would be almost 150$. I'm trying to see it's worth it or the 3600 has way more features. Thanks!!
  15. I am looking to get this motherboard : https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI-rev-10#kf It has a the features I want at a great price. Does anyone have or know of a 3600mhz ram kit that will run at that speed. The specs say 3200 but I have heard whispers of that changing with bios updates. I already have my R5 3600. I do plan to do a light overclock if need be. Have the voltage settings been changed since the release as I have seen that the max bios overclock has been around 4.2ghz with the vrms still at an acceptable temperature? I know the hybrid vrms are not the best but this is an "if need be" overclock. Thank you all!!!
