I'm assuming here, since I don't know the exact situation. LTT used OCCT a year ago and the dev thanked LTT for using it and mentioned that LTT used an old version. I assume that LTT actually downloaded OCCT from a mirror. The dev wrote that he would have given LTT a free license, since he got a lot of exposure (+15% site visits after the video). Imo both made mistakes, but none were malice. LTT should have informed themselves about the licensing of a product they're using. OCCT should make that information more accessible. The dev stated he fears a bad LTT reaction resulting in the end of OCCT. LTTs "piracy"-statement hurt the dev, but in the end his community pushed him to say something public.

Hello, my brother wants a new office PC. I planned a Ryzen 3200G build, but it's currently not available. So I thought of using an old GPU (Sapphire Radeon HD 6870, 1GB GDDR5) with a Ryzen 3100 CPU on a B550 board. That should work, right? And modern PSU have the correct cables, right?

Well, I can easily press them and they work as inteded, but sometimes not. It's just weird

Hello, I bought a new Dell S2721DGF monitor and use it now in a dual screen setup with an ASUS VG278QR. While the Dell monitor is awesome, there's something that annoys me. I usually just shut down my PC and my monitors go in standby, since they "lost" the PC signal. When I start my PC they wake up and I can use them without manually turning them on. The Dell monitor does the exact same thing and goes into it's "power saving mode" when I turn off the PC. The problem is turning on the PC. The Dell monitor doesn't wake up and I can't use it's power button to wake up the monitor manually. I have to remove the power chord from the monitor or the plug from the socket and reattach it. It's really annoying and I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong... Can someone please help me and say how it's supposed to wake up? (Additionally I can't enter the OSD sometimes through the physical buttons)

He has two PCs and three monitors. Each PC uses one monitor alone, but share the third. OP asks if he can use the third monitor as secondary display for both PCs at the same time.

Thank you for your recommendations! I didn't expect to get one monitor recommended by multiple people

Hello, I'm currently using a dual monitor setup with a monitor arm (RaidSonic Icy Box IB-MS314-T) that holds: ASUS VG278QR, 27" (TN, 1080p, 165 Hz, G-Sync Compatible) ASUS VG275Q, 27" (TN, 1080p, 75 Hz) Those monitors get powered by a RTX 2070 Super (ROG Strix). I have been thinking about upgrading to a 1440p monitor and selling the second monitor. I'm currently looking for fitting monitors, but since some monitors like the G7 got initially good reviews, although it has some issues I have some trust issues in those reviews. I'm looking now for a monitor that is as big as my other monitor (27") is 1440p has 165+ Hz refresh rate has G-Sync / G-Sync Ultimate or is G-Sync Compatible is preferably IPS/VA instead of TN, but is not a must has low input lag costs <650€ I haven't read if the monitor arm is compatible with curved monitors, but I read somewhere that someone attached a curved monitor to it. So I'd prefer a flat monitor, but I'd try to attach it if the monitor is worth it. I already found some monitors, but I'm not sure about them. Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUAbmiprz (~480€, TN, G-Sync, 2 year warranty) Acer Predator XB3 XB273UGSbmiiprzx (~500€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 2 year warranty) ASUS ROG Swift PG278QE (~520€, TN, G-Sync, *ASUS design, 3 year warranty) ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR (~520€, TN, G-Sync, 3D-ready, *ASUS design, 3 year warranty) ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q (~660€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 170 Hz, 3 year warranty) ASUS TUF Gaming VG27BQ (~440€, TN, G-Sync Compatible from 48 to 155 Hz, 3 year warranty) Dell S2721DGF (~420€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 3 year warranty) Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 without speaker (~420€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 3 year warranty) Lenovo Legion Y27gq-20 with speaker (~440€, TN, G-Sync, 1 year warranty) Samsung Odyssey G7 C27G73T (~590€, VA, G-Sync Compatible, 240 Hz, Curved, 2 year warranty) *ASUS design is a small advantage, since my other monitor (ASUS VG278QR) has the same design. Which one could you recommend or is there one that isn't in that list?

Zen 3 will be announced on 8th October. This is not a rumor

Corsairs MP600 SSD is a PCIe 4.0 NVME while the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD is a PCIe 3.0 NVME. Intels 10th Gen doesn't support PCIe 4.0, so the Corsair MP600 wouldn't reach those speeds. AMDs X570 and B550 mainboards support PCIe 4.0. So if you have an Intel CPU the MP600 wouldn't be worth it.

I was thinking about a Boyfriend GPU - the GPU your boyfriend wants

Thanks, will the data be kept in the database?

Hello, I built yesterday a new PC for my parents. I copied all important data to the PC and almost everything works as expected. The only file that causes headaches is a Microsoft Office .mdb file in 32-bit which I can't open in Access 64-bit. My parents use that DB as member management tool and got it from their predecessor. I haven't really used Access and couldn't find anything 'simple' with google that works. How can I convert the mdb-File into 64-bit? I guess uninstalling Office (64-bit) and reinstalling (32-bit) would be an option, but that would affect Word, Excel and so on aswell...

It says "A-020011". Thanks, I will do that later. I connected today the ASUS router to the fibre modem and that router worked fine. The problem was the Telekom Speedport W724V. I connected it's "Link" port to a LAN port of the ASUS router, but had no internet connection and the phones didn't work. I had to undo everything again, so we can use our phone for now...

I don't know. Where can I find that? They're still in their default configuration

Hello, I recently got FTTH and (Fibre optic) modem is now in a different room. My ISP is the german Telekom. We currently have 3 routers in our house. A Telekom Speedport W724V with analog ports for our home telephones An ASUS RT-AX56U for Wifi for the second floor A TP-Link (for ~25 bucks some years ago) for Wifi on the ground floor We used to have our telephone station in our office room next to the TP-Link and connected to the (DSL) modem, but I had to move it to the second floor where the fibre optic modem is. I tried to connect the ASUS router with the modem, but it had no internet connection. I read that I need to use "PPPoE" in the ASUS routers WAN configuration, but I had not much time and just used the Speedport to connect to the modem. Now I have time, but don't understand how it actually works. What do I need to configure the ASUS router? I want to move the Speedport back to it's original spot.

Check this video out. There are a lot of them on YT that compare other CPUs

Actually @Kanna would gain 3 more FPS. I mean what could you do with 3 FPS?

I think so. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the RTX 3060 will be released later. It would be different if you decide to buy a monitor soon/ish

It matters a lot, since you're asking for a GPU. A R5 3600 + RTX 2060 Super would be perfectly fine for that setup, but since the new GPUs might arrive soon, I'd wait. I asked because a 2080 Ti struggles with 4k, too and you'd need at least a RTX 2070 Super for 1440p @ 144 Hz

B550 mobos with 2x m.2 support 1x PCI 4.0 and 1x PCI 3.0

X570 > B550 if the prices are similar. X570 has "full" PCI 4.0 while B550 has just PCI 4.0 for the GPU and a NVME M.2. Just for gaming a R5 3600 is enough and other AMD CPUs won't give you much more FPS. I haven't seen it yet, but what are your monitor specs?

Thanks. It's for my parents (not in a real office).

Thanks I agree with the PSU - the thing is that I want a full-modular PSU and the less powerfull full-modular PSUs are currently unavailable. I'm still hoping that Mindfactory has a good PSU deal this weekend My mistake with the cooler. I could have written it much better. I built a PC for myself a bit ago and choose an AIO to cool my CPU, so I have one Wraith Prism still unused in the box. I thought that it's better to use that instead of the 3400G stock cooler, since it's supposed to be a bit better. The Wraith Spire would be used then for the same as the Prism now: nothing

PCPP chooses Amazon instead of Mindfactory even though Mindfactory offers the APU, RAM and case (slightly) cheaper. Additionally it adds 8.99€ shipping cost for these, but Mindfactory offers free shipping if you buy past midnight which I'm planning to do. The PC will cost about 610€ that way. The plan is to have a small office PC for my parents that replaces the pretty old Mac Mini. I know that a 650W PSU is overkill for that build, but I initially planned a be quiet! Straight Power 11 450W. Unfortunately it's not available at Amazon or other shops at the moment. I read that AMD 4000 Desktop APUs should be released anytime soon too, but I don't know if it's worth the wait. I choose the Fractal Design Define Nano S as case, since it looks clean and is silenced. I'm planning to use the stock cooler (Wraith Spire) or maybe the Wraith Prism RGB of my build. The Prism should be a bitter better right? RGB doesn't matter as the case has no window. Is that build good or is there any big mistake? The mainboard is compatible with Ryzen 3000G, but out of the box?

Some stress tests should do the trick
