So I have 2 monitors, one is connected via HDMI and looks great however the other monitor is connected thru a DVI to VGA cable and looks a lot more blurry then the other monitor. They both are the same refresh rate, so I have no idea what to do.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a dual monitor set up (pref 27" not ultrawide). Ideally I want two IPS panels because well I like colour accuracy. I'm rocking a 1660s and 3600 so realistically for the next year I won't realistcally be going above 144fps at 1080p or 75fps at 1440p but I really want to utilise the extra pixel density of the higher res panel. I was thinking about getting a high refresh 1080p monitor for competitve FPS games and a moderate refresh rate 1440p monitor for scenic games. BUT I also want the monitors to visually identical becuase.. well symmetry. I'm not likely to upgrade my GPU/CPU for a good while so I don't see myself needing higher refresh rate monitors than these. This is what I have found so far (I'm aware the description of the 1440p one is VA but I'm guessing that is wrong): https://www.box.co.uk/AOC-Gaming-27G2UBK-27-Full-HD-IPS-Free_2766292.html https://www.box.co.uk/AOC-Q27G2UBK-27-QHD-FreeSync-144Hz-Gam_2869502.html Are these good deals? Or am I barking up the wrong tree. Any help would be appreciated. Peripherals are not my strong point as its a minefield

Please note that more rank(s) and/or more sticks of RAM will affect maximum speed of the DDR4, a quad rank will give worst overclocking results. More ranks better how ever max speed may be reduced, quad-rank memory sticks are NOT supported on a consumer grade motherboards!!! >w< What a quad-rank stick looks like. Edit 2: Rambling about DDR4 memory channels and ranks - YouTube More detailed information. ((also beware some 16GB sticks can be single rank))

I just got another monitor, and my other one only has an hdmi port. The new one has both an HDMI and Display Port. How can i connect them to my graphics card? Specs: Dell se2419hx Dell u2417h MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT X Gaming

Hello all. I just recently got parts for a new PC I want to build, I noticed that my system won’t boot when installing the RAM in dual channel. I discovered that the motherboard won’t pass from the DRAM light when installing any RAM sticks in any or both A1 and A2 channel (first two ones from the socket). This doesn’t happen when installing them in one or both B1 and B2 channels. Both RAM sticks seem to work I can boot with either stick as long as is seated in any B channels. I have updated the bios on the motherboard to the latest non beta version. I have re seated the stock amd cooler three times and look for bent Pins in the processor but i don’t see any. Although I dropped the processor earlier and noticed it’s damaged at the bottom near the outer most line of the pins. Could this be the problem? If not what else can I check? Here my setup: Ryzen 5 5600G. Asus Tuf Gaming B550M Plus WiFi. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB kit (2x8GB) 3600Mhz. NZXT C750 power supply. Crucial P2 NVMe 500GB SSD. Many thanks in advance.

My computer has 16 GB of memory with 2x8 sticks. I was just given a single stick of 16 GB. Could I put the 2x8GB sticks together on the first channel and the 1x16 stick on the other, and get all the benefits of dual channel memory but no drawbacks of mixing and matching sticks?

purchased a new monitor and now that i have 2 i want to put them on a dual monitor arm but they only seem to be vesa compliant where as both my monitors dont mount to theirs stand with vesa its sort of like a slides on at the top and clips at the bottom, to rremove the screen you have to press a button in and tilt. my question is can you find arms with this type of mount as i dont think vesa will fit, anyone got a solution?

It's a dual slot case and I currently have a 2080 ti evga black GPU. The length is fine, but the height of the card is what is a tight squeeze. (See pictures below). I was wondering if anyone knew what my options will be for a 3090, or if I should just for-go the option entirely. I did happen to find a 3090 that is a dual slot card (see link below) and it looks slim enough that height won't be an issue, but it is a blower card. I don't want to get it if the temps are going to be insane. My 2080ti reaches around 81c under max load in my case, which is toasty, but definitely acceptable. Is there a better option that I'm missing? I don't think I've seen any other dual slot 3090s. Even a lot of dual slot 3080s look a little too tall for my case to accommodate. Just looking for some feedback.

I guess my question is pretty simple, how do you mod dynamic xl to install a second itx motherboard in the psu chamber of lian li dynamic xl? Thanks for any suggestions

Hello, So right now I have a P9X79 motherboard which has 1 DVI port. My current monitor has 1 dvi port and a d-sub port (which I believe is the same as a VGA). Now I would like to get a new monitor to use as my main monitor. If I get a new monitor with 2 HDMI ports, and I connect that monitor with my pc with a DVI-HDMI cable, can I connect my second (current) monitor with my main (new) monitor using another dvi-hdmi cable or a dvi-d-sub (vga) cable? Kind regards, Roy

I'm working on a new water cooling loop. I haven't built one in a while, but I have built a few. I'm using an Enthoo Primo, 360 rad for the GPU, 420 Rad for the CPU, EK-XRES-200 DDC MX. I'm cooling a Ryzen 1950x and a GTX 1000 TI for now. I'll likely upgrade both after the pandemic, but for now my leftovers will have to do. I was going to get fancy and split the output off the pump to the separate blocks, but I get that this may lead to less flow to the smaller channel, likely the GPU. I'm thinking I'll go pump, GPU block, 360 rad, CPU block, 420 rad. I know it's overkill, but it will likely be my last build and I want to leave room for upgrades down the road. Any thoughts on the above sequence?

Answer: no reasoning: the App Store has about 6 or 8 split window browsing apps. One of the most popular is Split by Savy soda. The issue is that you have to go back and forth typing new searches. Ideally the app would mirror the first search to get both windows to the first google page, then un-mirror allowing the user to tap through multiple links without pressing the back button which wastes loading time. Then re-mirror and un-mirror. Maybe with some ai or something. A solution to the "back load time" is another app which promises zero latency back presses. That app is called "fastback." But there is no practical purpose for split windows. Searching time actually goes down going back and forth. For background music there are other apps that play in the background. You do not need to sacrifice half your screen to play music.

I need help to find the best/and affordable option for the particular situation. Did not found yet what I am looking for. Thanks a lot for your help. Objectifs for the monitors arms : - Being able to move the monitors independently. - Being able to mount them vertically and horizontally. - Clamp the arms at the back side of the desk. - Bring them both as near as possible to the front of the desk (depth = 36").

I've been looking for a gaming 1440p ~144hz. So I can use two, or three of them together, I have the enough GPU power for it (3080 TI). I want something I can possibly mount to the wall in the future. I am current using a wide 1080p monitor for school and gaming. Any recommendations are welcome. I don't want to spend more than about ~$800. Thanks!

Budget (including currency): We'll say 750$ but we'll pretend I can afford 1,000$ in a theoretical "you should really spend more" situation. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: OBS Studio, Other details: Dear LTT Community, I apologize in advance for the long winded request and information vomit. I have ADHD Current setup has a Gaming PC with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, NVIDIA 2080 Super, and 32GB Of DDR4.. it works very well, I also have an internal capture card inside of it for Nintendo switch streaming, STREAMING SETUP - HD60+ coming out of GAMING PC and INTO my STEAM DECK! Works Relatively better than I thought it would! +especially after windows driver updates, may still need more? (Side note: I legitimately think Linux obs studio runs better on steam deck, obviously Linux takes less CPU but I really like windows solutions, obs on Linux for example is really really terrible for handling audio channels and audio mixing without the physical hardware) However, it has USB power issues, and not enough USB ports, it also only has the onboard APU, obviously... I believe the APU with all the USB devices and if I want to go higher than 3,000 bitrate or even split the streaming/recording nitrates (which is what I really want, I'd love 3,000 streaming and 3,000 recording bitrates) I don't believe it's a network issue but the steam deck can't seem to push bitrates, and I do off and on get encoding errors on OBS studio... Which obviously this is not what the steam deck was meant for, but budget wise it's what I have to work with right now. However I'm changing careers soon, and really still interested in streaming and would love a secondary PC or potentially even suggestions with my current gaming hardware to possibly migrate into a newer bigger tower (better motherboard likely required) but I have a BIG concern for FPS, I can feel and tell the difference personally and my monitor pushes 240hz. So I do not want to take away from processing or graphical power on my main PC, and I do LOVE to keep my graphics at ultra. Or at least balance them out so not everything is always set to low, and push as many FPS I can while still looking good, I can't stand anything under 120 usually. Please give me some suggestions. Not sure if LTT has done any Streaming specific PC build content in a long time, but I'm even willing to go ARC because I do remember Linus mentioning how it could be a really good option for encoding. Any experience on this one, anybody? Or if you can even save me money and help me make the steam deck work better ? Lol. Edit* I forgot to add that I also use Voicemeter to route my microphone audio from the steam deck to my gaming PC for in game use through a VBan (network audio) idk if this matters much with my bitrate Thanks in Advance, Zachary

Didn't realise this before buying a GPU with 240mm AIO, but it's pretty hard finding a normal size or small case that would fit two 240 mm AIOs.. I just bought a GPU with 240mm aio (pretty thick radiator too, 65mm) and for CPU I want to use a 240mm AIO also. Doesnt need to be SFF though, a normal ATX preferably Anyone know of a case that fits both? I little modding would be fine too! Cheers!

I've been using two monitors for a while now, main is 1440p and secondary is 1080. I just finished parting out my new build and started thinking about getting a new 1440p OLED display. So far I've only seen one 2560 x 1440 display by LG; the 27GR95QE-B which based on the one review I saw by The Display Guy, I feel like I should avoid it. Than I remembered about ultra-wides and now I'm wondering if I can get the same kind of dual screen functionality out of an ultra-wide. PS: I'm gonna be running a 4080 on water, so not having enough power isn't really gonna be an issue

My girlfriend is looking for two 1080p monitors, is 27" is decent for general productivity and gaming or does it look pixelated? We also wonder, do dual curved monitors make sense or should we look for flat monitors?

Doing a lot more video editing for work and wanted to eek out a little smoother performance. I currently have two sticks of 16GB ram for a total of 32GB (G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL16 Dual Channel). I was wondering if it would be fine to just buy the exact same and add them in on the open dim slots or if I should pony up for the 2x 32. It would be $112 vs about $175 from what I've seen. Come across a lot of forum posts saying the 2 x 32 might be more stable. Thanks for helping out a noob.

I will provide my selected build below, do not tell me to go AMD, I know what I want. I have no ethernet in my room and thus need a WIFI AC motherboard. I am entirely air-cooling a potential OC build meaning it should have quite a few 4pin fan headers. They will be PWM fans. I am opting for as little RGB as humanely possible. It should have decent power phases or delivery or what have you as I do plan to OC it, nothing crazy that will risk the CPU's lifespan. The computer will almost exclusively be used for gaming. Because I live in Michigan and brown outs, loss of power occurs 2-3 times a year for me due to snow, ice, flooding, wind, falling trees, etc... I need a motherboard that has dual bios... or do I? I'm a first time builder, I've selected another MSI motherboard, but it has no dual-bios. If dual-bios is a non-needed feature in today's world please let me know. Otherwise, assuming dual bio is gonna be my twice-to-thrice-annual-life-saver, I need your help to find an MSI Z390 Wifi AC motherboard with DUAL-BIOS. I don't have a particular price cutoff but anything above $300 is just gonna take me longer to save up for. But if it's an option please list it.

Hello everyone, I will post my build at the very bottom, DO NOT TELL ME TO GO AMD, I KNOW WHAT I WANT. I have picked a motherboard and I'm happy with what I will go on to build at dome point in the near future... (first time builder)... that said, is there an MSI motherboard that is Z390, AC WIFI (I don't have ethernet in my room, but wifi is easy as can be) but that has dual-bios? I'm not looking to spend above $300 nor get the best of the best. I also care about it's cooling and OC capabilities, as well as it's number of 4pin fan headers... I plan to use all PWM fan's as my cooling of choice. Please keep at ATX size. I'm afraid of power loss and brown outs which are rampant in Michigan due to wind, trees, flooding, snow, ice, etc... having Dual Bios will likely save me at least 2-3 times a year. I don't give a rat's ass about RGB. (The board should not give up fan headers for 3pin RGB headers is all...) Long story short: Looking for an MSI Z390 AC WIFI Motherboard **with dual-bios** and many 4pin FAN headers for PWM fans. It should be no larger then ATX form factor.

Hey! Im new in the forums im hoping this is the right sub to ask this. I've a dual monitor setup, right now I have my Desktop PC connected to them. However I would like to use my laptop in my setup too, by extending the laptop screen to the 2 other monitors. My laptop has 2 video outputs: 1 x HDMI & 1 x Mini Display. The monitors im using have a HDMI input & a HDMI or VGA (DSUB) Is there a device or hub that I can connect to switch between my PC & my laptop? Or am i stuck with having 2 switches for each monitor? Hope I was clear enough. Thanks in advance!
