In real life the color of the screen is grey, not blue as in the pictures. That's just what the camera did to it. Also, the discoloration does not change from input to input, and it does not change when a signal is present. I also tried plugging it into a different outlet, but that didn't help, though I don't know if they're on the same circuit.

Here's what's happening: Seemingly at random, the screen will become a very pale color except for a half-inch strip around the edges. No amount of tweaking in the TVs' settings will correct this. The TVs were not exposed to static shock, magnets, UV light, strong electric fields, or anything else, and only one was exposed to chemicals (Lysol) before the discoloration. So far this has happened with two separate TVs. The first was a 32'' Sanyo from 2014 or so and the second is a 40'' Vizio. With the first TV, I was cleaning my room, and when I was done I powered on the TV and noticed the color was off. I assumed I had sprayed it with Lysol on accident and broke it, and I couldn't fix it, so I ended up buying a new TV. This was in November. Late January I plugged in the old "broken" TV and the color was fine. Today, I powered on my current TV and the exact same thing is happening. It was working fine last night, and like I said before, nothing has happened to interfere with the TV. I have several other screens (laptop and desktop monitors) in the same room and none of them have ever done this. I took a picture of it. The screen should be entirely black except for the text, but it's very grey, except on the edges. If anyone knows what's causing this or how to fix it, any help would be very much appreciated.

After testing with Ryzen Master and HWiNFO64, it was indeed a reporting error. Kinda disappointing, but it's not like I've lost anything, so it's fine.

Ah, I didn't know that. I'll do testing with both.

For the past little while, HWMonitor has been reporting insane boost clocks while gaming for my Ryzen 7 2700. Today was the highest I've seen so far at 5.51GHz. I have the CPU overclocked to 4.0Ghz @ 1.35V, and I'm using the stock Prism cooler and an Asrock x370 Killer SLI/ac mobo with 16gb GSkill Trident Z 3200mhz and an EVGA 600W 80+ PSU. Is this a reporting error, and if so what caused it? Or should I get an AIO and see how far this thing will OC? I couldn't get it stable @4.1 without raising the voltage, so I left it at 4.0GHz, but with a better cooler I could probably bring the voltage up a good bit. Though I am a little worried about degradation at that point. How much voltage can these chips take?

Have you tried rebooting with your original drive? I had to reclone my OS a couple times and with various software before my laptop would accept an ssd. But I've got a Lenovo, so maybe not applicable.

Hi. I'm just wondering how people feel about upgrading from last-gen high-end components. Say, for example, you own a GTX 980 or a 980 ti. If you're upgrading to a current card, are you going to go for something that's in the same place in the current lineup (2080 or 2080ti, here shortly 3080) or would you go for something that is still a significant upgrade but is more mid-tier (2060, 2070, etc.)? Does it feel bad to go from high-end to mid-tier or lower, even if it is a big upgrade? Personally, I don't like to lose my place in the product stack, but when it comes down to it, I'm probably going to go for the best deal. In my case, I have a Ryzen 7 2700 that I'm planning to upgrade after the new chips launch. I'll probably end up getting a 3700x or 3800x on sale or used, because I have an x370 motherboard that I'd like to get the most out of. I would prefer to get a 4000 series chip, but if I have to get a mobo as well then I probably wouldn't have room for a 4700x in my budget, and though the 4600 will likely be a lot faster than my current chip, dropping down a notch in the product stack (and losing threads) just feels wrong to me. Why do I even want to upgrade? Well, I have a 200hz 2560 x 1080p monitor, and a faster cpu would help a lot I think in hitting those higher frames. My gpu is an RTX 2070, and I think it can keep up for the next couple years. I've pretty much made up my mind about what I'm doing, at least until I see what the next cpu launch does to 3000 series prices, but I'm just curious about how people feel about this issue.
