    Long time Intel user converted. Looking for a board for the new gpus and cpus

    I have not done an amd cpu ever in my life and am incredibly weary on giving this a go as I usually build one rig a decade. Though given intel's recent failures and the new gpus essentially requiring pcie 4.0 to run at full, I'm left with no choice. So I'm giving into the hype and going AMD...

    Looking for mobo suggestions

    Looking for suggestions on a good mobo. I'm being told that the GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Master is the way to go but I've had my eye on the Asus Rog lineup for years now. What do you guys think? The build I'm working on getting: ram - 32GB G.Skill DDR4 TridentZ RGB 3200Mhz ssd - Samsung 970 EVO Plus...

    Looking for a solid ethernet network card

    I've been banging my head against this for the last 2 days and I'm honestly just flat-out tired of trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My internet speed is touted at being 1.5Gbps. Whether or not that's true I don't know, but yeah I need a card that can accommodate that...

    New Build Inquiry

    I imagine this type of request is quite annoying, and for that I apologize, but I've always deem the collective knowledge of HardForum members to be top grade. After 10 long years I've finally decided to put together a new computer as my dated hardware can barely run anything nowadays and it...

    Will this fit...

    Trying to get my father a new GPU but I'm worried if it'll fit on his motherboard. Here is his computer: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c03683097 Only his motherboard is green and his current gpu is the gt 730. Details on that card and some rough measurements of my own have it sitting at...

    Lookin to start a new build from scratch...

    And I need your opinion on what is the best mobo out there for gaming/video encoding purposes. I understand the cpu handles all encoding, but need the proper mobo to support said cpu. I also plan on dabbling into VR quite a bit. This build has been put off for 5 years and I've finally decided to...

    Does Rapid Mode Disable Your Ability To Clone Your Drive Later On?

    (Samsung 850 Pro 512gbs) Just wondering as I read someone saying that in a review comment section. Is that true? I currently have 12gbs so I figured rapid mode would be more of a drain for no gain at this point. Also, what do you guys suggest I use to image my current ssd before cloning it...

    Did Evga scrap the Classified Card?

    I'm not seeing it listed under their product list anymore. Anyone have any idea what is going on? I have a FE card on hold and am wondering if I should get the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 instead if Evga no longer has plans for a classified version just yet.

    Evga GTX 1080 Classified. Is the performance boost worth losing the looks of the Founders Edition?

    Pretty straight forward on this one. What do you guys think? Will it be that different in terms of performance? I'm loving the looks of the founders edition. Like an exotic car I'll never be able to afford only this one can run my games. Is it really worth losing that sexy design?
