Planning a Torrent Compact / AM5 / B650E-I ITX / 4090 MSI Suprim build. The Suprim is small among 4090 AIB models at 336 x 142 x 78, but still larger than 4090 FE's 305 x 137 x 61 so need to move things around a fit to accommodate it. Planning to: ⦿ Swap the Torrent Compact's 2x 180mm front...

Any feature differences between the different Vertex GX wattage tiers that would warrant sizing up to a larger unit than you expect to need like from 1000w to 1200w for example? Thinking about things like keeping zero rpm mode active at higher wattages, extra connectors etc.? Similarly, any...

For a new build would it be better to go with buy a higher end Prime model and use a PCIE5 adapter or pickup a less efficient newer Vertex GX that has PCIE5 at current inflated prices?

Went with the G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 64GB DDR5 6000 CL32 kit. No issues applying XMP settings by selecting DOCP option on Asus motherboards.

This was my thinking as well. The 6000 CL32 kits seems like the best bet for getting hynix. For value the 5600 CL32 kits seem much better though (~$270 vs ~$330).

There are a lot more DDR5 kits with XMP profiles than DDR5 kits with EXPO or dual XMP/EXPO right now. What are the advantages / disadvantages to going with an XMP only kit on AM5? The specific kit I have my eye on is a G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 64GB DDR5 6000 CL32 kit which looks like the most...

This is my thinking - fake HDR with disabled local dimming is best. This approach actually results in a much better experience than just "bright SDR" too - especially for content consumption. A display needs to identify as HDR capable to be served high quality 4k video streams. So an HDR400...

Early reports of the NEO G7 definitely indicate there may be issues but how widespread they are and to what degree they can be resolved with firmware updates is yet to be seen. Obviously these aren't directly comparable units (IPS vs VA, flat vs curve etc). The point is just that $1300 for a...

Agreed. Can't believe LG is launching the 32GQ950B with edge lighting at $1300 competing at that price point with Samsung Neo G7 that has both mini LED and superior VA contrast. Shouldn't the 32GQ950B be competing against the $1000 PG32UQ and $900 MPG321UR-QD? Really wish LG had just launched a...

Are there any mini-LED monitors like Neo G7 / Neo G8, but that aren't curved on the horizon? What about QD-OLED with full 4k resolution (eg. not AW3423DW)?
