I tried lowering the resolution, no effect. It also works on another machine.

I just moved from a shared appartment to a new flat, so I can finally have my gaming PC in the living room, next to the TV. I set up my PC with the desk and monitor in one corner of the room, and bought a 5m HDMI cable to connect the PC to the TV as well. But... It does not work. Here is a 20s video of what happens: The setup: - The video card connected to the TV is an Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC - The HDMI cable is an Hama 00200704. From the specs listed on the box, it looks to be HDMI 2.0. - The video card is also connected to a BenQ 3440x1440 monitor through Display Port, but the behaviour also happens when only connected to the TV - The TV is an LG OLED65E97LA, 4K@60Hz What I tried: - Connect another PC to the TV using the same cable: I connected my Work Laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T480s) to the TV, got a clean 4k@60Hz output, but without HDR - Plug the cable in different ports, both on TV and video card: no change - Plug the monitor to the card with another HDMI cable: no issue, the HDMI ports work - Try to play with the Windows display settings (lowering resolution, changing refresh rate, enabling/disabling HDR, ...), no success - Try to play with the NVidia control panel settings (GSync compatibility, refresh rate, ...), no success What I did not try: - Connect the PC to the TV using another cable: the PC is too far away, it would be a hassle to do. However, I already connected this PC to this TV using HDMI in the past, without any issue. If you have ideas of what I can try or what could be ths issue, because I can't figure it out

My parents want a new TV, with a budget of around 1000€. My proposition for them was the LG OLED55C1. The answer: "I want it curved". I always felt like curved TVs were a terrible idea (and manufacturers seem to agree, since no one is proposing any high end curved TV), but I was wondering if anyone had an idea for a good model from 2020 or 2021 ? The only things I found were mediocre 500€ budget models, or ones from 2015 and before on eBay...

Hi all, I have a Ryzen 3700X cooled with a be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black inside a be quiet! Pure Base 600 case. I have activated PBO in bios and used the "Auto OC" option of Ryzen Master, and so far everything was fine. The CPU was rarely going above 70°C while gaming, life was good. Last week, I (finally) was able to get my hands on a 3080, and it messed up the CPU temps. The card is doing fine (70-75°C), but the CPU is now averaging between 80 and 85°C. I only have one intake fan at the front of the case, so here is my question: could a second fan solve the problem and bring back my CPU under 80°C ?

Hi, thanks for your answer I think that I will try the solution proposed by Blue4130 first, but yours seems like a good backup option. Are you certain that I would not need to reactivate Windows ? What about my programs then, could I easily transfer them or would I have to completely reinstall everything ?

Hi all, My machine is PCI express 4.0 ready (Ryzen 3700X + MSI B550 Tomahawk) but for budget reasons I went with a 500GB PCI Express 3.0 Western Digital NVme SSD as my main drive. Now some time has passed and I have the budget for another SSD, and was thinking of putting a 1TB PCI Express 4.0 in there and make it my main drive. There are two ports on the motherboard, so I can have both drives connected at the same time. What would be the best way to do what I want to do ? I read some articles about it, but most of them are about cloning a HDD to an SSD and/or advise to use some weird programs that I never heard of.

I am not a native english speaker, but my oral comprehension level is good enough and I don't need subtitles to understand english videos. This is especially true with LTT and their very easy to follow cancadian accent. However, every single time I start an LTT video, the english subtitles are enabled and I have to manually disable them. This is really anoying. I sometimes see YouTube activating the subtitles against my will on other chanels, but it is rare. For LTT, it is systematic. Am I the only one having this issue? If not, is there a way to contact the team and warn them about it ?

Alright, following the different advices, I will probably go with this config: CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X (379.99€) Mother board: Gigabyte B550 Gaming X (152.99€) RAM: Crucial DDR4 Ballistix Black 2x8GB@3200MHz (104.99€) Cooling: Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black (44.99€) -> If I go for the i5, will this be enough for OC ? Main storage: Western Digital WD Blue DN550 500 GB NVMe SSD (89.90€) Secondary storage: Western Digital WD Black 2 To (142.99€) Network card: Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I (WiFi and Bluetooth, 34.99€) Power supply: Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W (174.99€) -> 850W looks enough for an high end graphics card Case: BitFenix Nova Black (42.99 €) Total price (including 49.90€ for mounting the machine): 1168.82€ I will now want a few days to see if any special offer anywhere on the internet could help me get a better deal. Thanks everyone for the answers, this has been very helpful

Thank you for your advices ! I switched to the Gigabyte B550 Gaming X and added a separate PCIe WiFi card.

Budget (including currency): 1000 to 1200€ (without the graphics card) Country: France Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming, maybe some light video editing Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am buying this system without a graphics card and will add my current GTX 1050Ti in it at first, then I will buy something way more powerful at the end of the year after both AMD and NVidia realeased their new cards. Also, I selected the mother board for the built in Wifi as I plan to use WiFi and not a cable connection (I don't play online games that much, so WiFi is more convenient for me). The targeted resolution and frame rate is 3440x1440@100Hz. The system I describe bellow has two main goals: 1- Being affordable enough to not hurt my bank account too much in the short term 2- Being upgradable in the future My main concern is on the CPU: the Core i5-10600K should be better for gaming, but the support of PCIe gen 4 on the Ryzen makes me think that it could be a better option on the long term. Also, if I finally decide to go AMD, I don't know if it is worth it to go for the 3700X or if the 3600 will be enough. Here is the components list: CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K (349.99€) or AMD Ryzen 3600 (219.99€) or AMD Ryzen 3700X (379.99€) Mother board: MSI MPG Z490/B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI (229.99€ for the Z490 version, 219.99€ for the B550 version) RAM: Crucial DDR4 Ballistix Black 2x8GB@3200MHz (104.99€) Cooling: Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black (44.99€) -> If I go for the i5, will this be enough for OC ? Main storage: Western Digital WD Blue DN550 500 GB NVMe SSD (89.90€) Secondary storage: Seagate BarraCuda 2To 7200 rpm (74.99€) Power supply: Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W (174.99€) -> 850W looks enough for an high end graphics card Case: BitFenix Nova Black (42.99 €) Total price (including 49.90€ for mounting the machine): - With the i5-10600K: 1162.73€ - With the Ryzen 3600: 972.83€ - With the Ryzen 3700X: 1132.83€ The Ryzen 3600 looks like a no brainer considering the price difference (plus the PCIe gen 4 support), but I don't want to sacrifice too much performance. According to the Gamer Nexus review, an i5-10600K is easily beating the 3700X at stock performances, and can even approach a stock i9-10900K after OC. The rest of the system looks good to me, be if you have remarks/advices, you are very welcome.
