Looking at replacing my 3 current monitors which are used both for work and for gaming. In my new setup I'd like the following: - 3 of the same monitor - All 1440p - 1 144/240Hz monitor and the rest 60Hz - 27" What I'm struggling with is finding a monitor available in a 240Hz and a 60Hz configuration, I only use a single screen for gaming so do not want to spend the extra cash on having my other monitors running a higher refresh rate. Any suggestions would be great!

Looking for some monitor recommendations. My requirements are: - At least 144Hz - At least 1080p but ideally 1440p - Have a vesa mount Don't have a budget so happy to see recommendations at any side of the price spectrum

Think I might need to update the BIOS as running Ryzen 5000 on a bios version from july 2020. Although it's saying no media detected in the MSI flash tool. (Yes I've formatted it to fat32, stuck the unextracted bios file onto the USB stick and inserted into the slot that says Flash Bios).

Hey! So just installed a new MOBO, CPU & PSU. I've installed 4x8gb of corsair vengeance 3200Mhz into my system, and then booted (No XMP yet). I've opened up HWINFO and it seems that slot 0 & 3 are running at 1066Mhz and 1&2 are running at 1333Mhz. I've assume slots 0 and 3 are the ones at both ends so I've replaced those with brand new DIMMs but still no luck. I've tried enabling XMP on my system but it fails to boot and my mobo shows it's due to the DRAM. Any ideas would be brill!

Out of curiosity any PSUs you'd recommend?

Yeah that makes sense. I'll upgrade my PSU soon then

I mean the 2080TI only really draws about 280Ws. CPU about 65W give or take, so it doesn't seem too far fetched to think 550W is enough?

lol I know very weird. Initially I bought a prebuilt..... Yes I know a prebuilt but I didn't really have the time (or effort) to build my own. I'm slowly upgrading all the components. It came with a 2060 Super. I've upgraded the case, memory, cooler & gpu so far. So next on my list is PSU, Mobo then the CPU....

Yeah may look into buying a new PSU. Although it runs fine on all the benchmarks I've ran on it. Main one I've ran is the OCCT PSU test; it puts the CPU & GPU at max load. I didn't encounter any issues on it so it's fairly low priority for me to upgrade it.

Hey, so my current setup is: ASUS Prime B450M-A Ryzen 5 3600 32GB memory RTX 2080TI 550W PSU I've never experienced any crashing etc, also ran the OCCT power test which draws max power from CPU/GPU and it ran fine, also ran my setup through https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator and it said it recommends 467W, so I am very close to it's limit....

OCCT used HWInfo under the hood for grabbing the sensor data. I've flipped the orientation of my AIO and that seems to of made a drastic improvement. Running the same power test now, seeing temps of about 80 degrees as opposed to the 95 so much better. Annoyingly my case doesn't allow for an AIO to be mounted with the tubes at the bottom at the rear of the case. Moved it to the front and seeing improvements now

Okay so I've remounted it, the paste spread looked good when I took it off but repasted it and remounted. Plugged the pump into CHA_FAN2 on my mobo. In the bios set it to DC, fan curve to manual and put it to run at 100% all the time. Saw the pump was running at 4000rpm. Rebooted after changes, went into the bios saw temps in the bios was 45 degress celcius, still way to warm for the bios. I'm thinking maybe it's the way I have my rad mounted? See attached for how it's mounted at the moment. Please ignore the horrendous cable management, I don't care how it look atm want it to run cool before I tidy it up....

Don’t think it’s an airflow issue. 2 intakes fans at the front of the case with a mesh front panel. CPU fan is running. However my mobo (ASU’s b450m-a) doesn’t have an AIO pump/CPU. CPU OPT header so I’ve just plugged the pump into my fan controller. Anyone know if that’s okay? I know this isn’t the best AIO but I expect under load it should be reaching max 70 not 95. I’l take it apart again and have a look at the paste spread and remount it.

Hey so I'm running: Ryzen 5 3600 RTX 2080ti 32GB 3200MHz Memory Case: Be Quiet! Silent Base 802 Mid Tower Case Cooler: NZXT M22 AIO Under the OCCT 'Power' test my CPU is at ~93 degrees. GPU is fine at 64 I previously had some cooler master air cooler that was seeing the same temps, thought it was a crap cooler so bought an AIO (Albeit not a great one but still shouldn't see these temps). I followed the instructions step by steps so idk if it's a bad mount or not. But what temps should I expect
