On the market for a new 144hz monitor to replace my old 60hz 27” BenQ since I’ve recently built a pc (Ryzen 3600/NVIDIA 2060 Super). Should I go for a 1440p 27” 144hz or a 1080p 24” 144hz?

I’ve Recently built a pc (Ryzen 3600/2060 Super) and I’m on the market for a 144hz display. I’ve set my eyes on the ASUS TUF VG249Q 144hz IPS 1ms display, but I’ve also been looking at the BenQ XL2411P 144hz TN 1ms display since I’ve heard IPS panel have some unwanted motion blur. I’m switching from my 60hz TN panel 1ms BenQ RL2755 with no complaints of the color produced on the display. I play mostly FPS and Minecraft, with the occasional Tomb Raider game. I’m wondering which display will be the best in the end. If you have any ideas please let me know

Looking to buy the ASUS XG27VQ monitor. So far it seems pretty good, however all the reviews I can find of it are from 2 years ago. Wondering how it holds up today for a price point of $390 CDN. If you can help that’d be great:)

BenQ XL2536 v.s ASUS XG27VQ Recently built a pc and looking for a 144hz monitor. I have my eye set on these two. The BenQ is priced at $400 CDN and the ASUS at $380 CDN. I’m not looking at a cheaper VA panel MSI or AOC 144hz monitor because all are either currently out of stock, or not much cheaper than the ASUS so imo worth upping my budget.

Buddy of mine is planning out a pc build for streaming while gaming. Which CPU would he benefit most from?

I’ve Recently built a pc and I’m currently using a BenQ RL series 75hz monitor . I’m looking for a high refresh rate monitor, and I was looking at the BenQ XL2430 but specs wise it seems expensive, but if it’s worth it I’ll buy it. Are there any similar priced monitors Or cheaper monitors that are better? I mostly game (primarily FPS) but I also watch movies and tv shows a decent amount. I have an NVIDIA card, so g sync would be nice, but it seems most monitors aren’t g sync unless they’re $150 extra.

Even if the TN has G Sync compatibility?

Recently built a computer and looking for a 144hz+ monitor and can’t decide over two monitors both by ASUS. ASUS TUF 24" FHD 144Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (VG249Q) or ASUS 24" FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG TN LED G-Sync Gaming Monitor (VG248QG)? Both are exactly $250 CDN. I have an NVIDIA graphics card too.

Im building a pc using an MSI B450i mini itx board and it only has two fan headers. One for the cpu cooler, and another for the case fans. Would I have a problem connecting 3 case fans to one header through a 1-to-3 fan splitter cable?

24 pin connector looks like 1 pin is empty. Is this normal? It’s an EVGA GD 700W 80 plus gold PSU.

should I buy an EVGA 2060 Super for $530 CDN, or an MSI 2070 Ventus for $560 CDN? Don’t want AMD drivers, so these are my options. I know that the 2070 is more powerful, but is it worth the extra $30, or should I go with the 2060 super from a great brand like EVGA?

I’m building a mini itx pc, and the MSI B450i GAMING PLUS AC I’ve chosen only has two fan headers. One for the cpu cooler, and one for case fans. I plan on using 3 case fans in addition with the cpu cooler. Would it work if I plugged a splitter cable into the case fan header and connected two fans, and then another splitter into the cpu fan header and connected the cpu cooler and the remaining case fan to the splitter?

So do You think G sync compatibility is worth it?

I’ve recently built a pc (Ryzen 3600/RTX 2070). I was wondering if I should buy an ASUS 165hz 24” G-Sync compatible monitor for $300, or an Alienware 240hz Freesync monitor for $340(its refurbished so that’s why it’s cheap). If I have an NVIDIA gpu, should I go for the 165hz g sync monitor, or opt for the very slightly more expensive 240hz monitor, without G sync?

Neither are really an issue cable management wise. I’m more wondering which is more efficient, and is it a bad thing to have a case fan plugged into the cpu fan header

I’ve started my first pc build, and I’m using an MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC mobo. I plan on using 3 case fans+the cpu cooler, but the mobo only has 2 fan headers. Should I be using a 1-to-2 fan splitter on each fan header, connecting one case fan and the cpu cooler to the cpu fan header, and two case fans to a one header, or buy a 1-to-3 fan splitter connecting all 3 case fans to one header and the cpu cooler connected to the cpu fan header Separately?

I’m wondering why the industry standard for gaming monitors is 144hz. I feel like it would make more sense that the standard gaming refresh rate be up to 150hz, since essentially up to 150 FPS, the human eye can’t tell much of a difference. Sorry, just a thought I can’t seem to shake, lol

Ok thank you! That got rid of some expensive anxiety:)

Was installing my Ryzen 3600 stock cooler to the cpu, using the mobo box to work on. The big metal plate on the back of the mobo kinda lowered when installing the cooler, so i inadvertently pushed a bit hard on the cooler, which pushed down on the top of the cpu. Would that have broken the cpu? Asking this because I don’t have a GPU yet to test if the system still works

Im building my first ever pc, and I’m making the switch from Xbox to this, and I was wondering if I should buy an AMD Rx 5700 xt or an NVIDIA 2060 Super. It’s being paired with a Ryzen 3600. I’ve heard complaints about AMD’s drivers so I’m wondering which would be the best fit for me. I plan on strictly gaming.

I’m building a gaming pc in an NZXT H210, and I understand that blower style coolers are best in small form factor builds, but I’m wondering if the NZXT h210 is big enough for the regular 2 or 3 fan style coolers. Also I’m aware that gamers nexus says an SFX power supply works best in this case, but I’ve already bought a normal size PSU for this build.

I don’t really want to tinker with the card too much. This is my first pc build ever, and my first gaming pc. Directly switching from Xbox to this bow

Anyone have a blower style 5700 xt? I’m curious about noise levels since My pc will be on my desk. I’m on a budget looking at pairing an EVGA 2060 KO($410 CDN) WITH A Ryzen 3600, but I’m open to buying a 5700 xt for around $500 CDN, but I would be buying a blower card in that case. I Want to know if the blower card is too annoying for gaming use and if I should just stick with the 2060 KO. I’m not going with a 5700 either, since it’s more money than the 2060 KO, and with not too much of a performance change, I’d prefer NVIDIA drivers.

How come?
