    Asus X670E-A-F-E Gaming. Cap quality?

    I don't have money to throw away like most kids seem to think they do as they upgrade their phones every year attempting to satisfy that never ending lust.. Quality and longevity shouldn't be a dramatically more expensive experience especially when competitors seemingly have better components...

    Asus X670E-A-F-E Gaming. Cap quality?

    I just heard an Asus rep say the "E" version has 5k rated caps as opposed to the Crosshair that has 10K rated caps. Still disappointing for what you pay.

    Asus X670E-A-F-E Gaming. Cap quality?

    Nothing is mentioned except, "Durable capacitors" on these variations of this mobo. Anybody know if Asus is using Nichicon caps like they mention in the Hero model? I'd rather not have a mobo that has less than stellar caps. "Durable" sounds cheap. The Asrock Taichi and Steel Legend use 12K...

    ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 standard include higher excursion loads for the standard PCIe gpu connectors?

    Do the new high power excursion tolerances, associated with ATX 3.0 or PCIe 5.0, only apply when using the 12VHPWR connector or does it also apply to the other PCI-e connectors your gpu may be connected to? If so, then buying any ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 psu is pointless if you're not using the 12VHPWR...

    Seasonic Vertex Series

    Does the Vertex line 12VHPWR port have it's own dedicated rail? I was thinking of using the Vertex with my 7900xtx, but if I don't need/use the 12VHPWR port, there would be 600 watts unavailable-since it's reserved for this port--if it has it's own dedicated rail.

    New to AMD. Just received my 7900XTX. Need software settings advice.

    CODMW (not 2) pulled 415 watts! Fans were loud. Averaged maybe 170-ish fps. I have no idea if that's good for 1440p everything maxed out. Is that slow?

    Trying to figure out the bios switch position. It came with the bios switch towards the rear of the card/away from the power connector. Isn't that the lower performance bios option? XFX 7900XTX Merc 310 Black

    New to AMD. Just received my 7900XTX. Need software settings advice.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 isn't running that great with this card. I max just over 200fps and it frequently dips around 100fps. At the server menu it sits at 112fps. I think my 1080ti did much better. I'd like to keep it running at least 144 fps to match my monitor refresh rate.

    New to AMD. Just received my 7900XTX. Need software settings advice.

    Just installed my 7900XTX a few minutes ago and the latest Adrenaline drivers. What settings should I have enabled for gaming in the software? Is the Anti-lag setting effective w/o negative consequences?

    Water block for XFX Merc 310 Black 7900XTX?

    I've only found blocks for reference 7900XTX cards coming soon, but no mention from any manufacturer, that I've found, of plans for water blocks for the XFX 7900XTX MERC310 Black Edition. Anybody know more than I? The 7900XTX XFX MERC310 Black cards seem to be popular.

    Upgrading to ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and 3900X. Any tips? Suggestions?

    Thanks. After watching Jayztwocents point out all of the wrong stock voltage settings on things I've never heard of not to mention the rest of the options I know nothing about--AMD--, a guide is something I really need.

    Ordred the Optimus Foundation. I'm assuming the cpu back plate that comes with the mobo is used with it. Asus Crosshair Hero VIII

    Heatkiller IV the best?

    Yeah, the lack of a back plate with the Optimus leaves me apprehensive. Boards do bend over time when subject to heat and pressure.

    Monitor died. Need new 32 ish" for gaming and photo.

    My current monitor won't display any image, but the indicator light is on. Lights on, but nobody's home. Display and HDMI port the same. User interface adjustments also won't show. Now I have an excuse to upgrade my monitor. Prefer black blacks, but accurate colors and relatively low input lag...

    Heatkiller IV the best?

    Signature is just stiffer. I'm not aware of any flexing issues with any of the other non monolithic designs. Anybody heard? Can't decide which version of the Foundation I want. Raw copper or Pro-XE nickel. First world problems. Haha!

    Heatkiller IV the best?

    Just placed the order for the 3900X, mobo and NVME. now to find the HK IV Pro in stock somewhere...or Optimus--I'll have to compare The Optimus looks to be less restrictive and has same size fitting as my Raystorm Pro, but $179 for the Signature V2. Curious how the less expensive Foundation...

    Heatkiller IV the best?

    Considering going back to AMD. Likely a 3900X system and will have to buy another block unless there's an AMD adapter. Is the Heatkiller IV the best performing or close to it?

    OLED monitors out yet? Best black is black monitor for gaming AND photo editing?

    I didn't know this. How does that apply to what you see on the screen as a true representation of what the print will look like? The screen image should, as close as possible, mirror the details and information in the image itself.

    OLED monitors out yet? Best black is black monitor for gaming AND photo editing?

    I don't understand why IPS panels are used for photo if the contrast ratios are so bad. They say colors are superior, but you want accurate dark colors and black areas of the photo in addition to the other colors. I don't edit my photos at an angle (who does lol) on my VA monitor, so it's more...

    OLED monitors out yet? Best black is black monitor for gaming AND photo editing?

    The Samsung Q6, 7,8,9 have 1440p 120Hz above 55". I'm considering the Q6. It has contrast ratios far above the best pc monitor w/ VA panel and low input lag and the 55" isn't too expensive. Just bigger than I prefer.
