For what it's worth - I've had the ASUS VG248QE for several years now and it's been fantastic - I don't know what a curved monitor would be like when it's 23" though. It strikes me as a tad small!
I've heard good things about the Intel and the Crucial. Haven't heard much about the WD. Warranty duration may be the deciding factor.
Appreciate it dude :) I wanted to get some higher clocked when I upgraded shortly after the initial Ryzen launch, but it was prohibitively expensive to do so (around an extra £80/90 just to jump to 2933)
Cheers guys - Yeah after looking at some charts the 660p looks really nice at around £110. Hard to say no to that.
It depends on how long you plan on keeping the monitor for. I made the jump from 60 to 144hz and was blown away. To me I'd much rather wait for an extra months pay to come in and get something that I know I'd be happy with, rather than buying something lesser and then regret it after.
So uh...
That weird wrinkle in the corner isn't normal, right?
Wow, good call. That's really good service. I might do that.
if I use alternating slots (both red slots or both black slots), I get Error code 55 on my motherboard which which is memory initialization error. Doesn't post/goes into a boot loop. Even though the LED on both RAM sticks lights up
Years ago back in the "cheap Korean monitor" hype I got mine from Ebay, but because there was no alternative and had to have it shipped from overseas. This was from a seller that was know for selling those monitors. What you have to look for is that at the very least the seller is more of a serious store that operates thru Ebay.
This is good advice. Sure, you might save a little money buying through Ebay. But you need to have the ability to easily return the monitor if there are dead pixels.
I didn't take out my CPU, hopefully I didn't smush a pin when installing my cooler...is that easy to fix? Sounds scary.
Ughhhhh. I want to fix this problem but I'm scared to risk breaking my CPU. Thanks for the advice
Have you watched the Tech Report guide? It's quite comprehensive. Combined with your motherboard manual you should be good. I've linked to the section that starts with motherboard cabling.
Ok think you can help me out a bit more? If im reading this right, my PSU came with a 4+4 CPU cable. But it doesnt match the 8 pin connections on my MB. One of the 4 pin sides of the cable matches with the 4 pin connections. The other half of the 4 pin cable kinda sorta matches with the adjacent half of the 8 pin connections in that the cable has round pegs and they fit into the square holes. Am i meant to plug in both ends or can i just plug in the one 4 pin half that does match and leave the other hanging? Hope you understood my newbie gibberish.
The 8 pin goes like this
