@AnkitG I'm glad you like it, would have felt terrible if you didn't after singing its praises! If the apple studio monitor was 120Hz I think I would have been happier waiting as I love higher refresh rates, but seeing as I already have a 'proper' setup for mic/speaker/camera, I don't think...

Hey, glad to help! I've been using this a while now, so I'll try and sum up my experiences with it. For the RRP I think it's an excellent paring to a usb-c macbook. I've a power hungry 16" i9, and while it only charges at 60W, that's generally enough, I'm not running it at 100% all the time (and...

Well, I bought the MateView, and boy is the adjustment from a curved panel back to a flat hitting hard, that's going to take a while! Had to drive for a bit, but picked it up for a small discount at €599 (~£507 on the CC). It's not as good as an iMac panel (and I wasn't expecting it to be), but...

Technically I'm having to go to a different country to be able to try it :cry: I wish monitor shopping was easier - fingers crossed I'll be coming back tomorrow with a panel I'm happy with! I thought I was at perfect integer scaling at the moment? My 16" is an intel one and is 3072x1920, and...

Appreciate the input. Honestly, I'd love to be in a position to use an iMac, I've always loved them, but the 16" is a company machine. Hot Tip: Get a 14" if you're ever travelling, even once :cry:. I agree it looks like there might be something released later this year given the absence of the...

Hi guys, Current: Iiyama GB3466WQSU-B1 (34" ultrawide), VA Panel, no HiDPI options. 108.79 PPI I need to change this monitor. Since I got it I have moved to a fully remote job (I'm a programmer), working with text on it all day. This monitor is... not good at text and honestly the colours...

(Old 2600k range) -> (new 3700x range)

My 3700X sits around 53 at idle, resat the cooler a couple of times thinking there must have been something wrong, seems awfully high. EDIT: Also, cannot get it to boost past 4.2. Where's my other 200MHz?? :mad:

Some final very approximate numbers, completely unprofessionally obtained at 2560x1440 Borderlands 2, Ultra High: ~100fps -> ~141fps (100% GPU usage) CS:GO, Max: (130-190) -> (200-230) Ashes of a Singularity, Very High CPU focused benchmark: 28.6fps -> 52.4fps (100% gpu bound in the gpu test)...

Good lol, too many fancy looks in these new fangled bios interfaces anyway. Ranting aside, I've seen yer AMD man on reddit saying that high idle voltage is normal and it should drop under load, which it does so I don't think it's abnormal, and temp spikes will be seen a lot due to the frequency...

Right, I have a 3DMark TimeSpy comparison handy (have rough game benchmarks at home I'll post later) The gfx card is a vega 56, and is shared across the 2 builds. Old: 2600K @ 4.5GHz, SATA SSD (970 evo pro, good few years old at this point), 16GB ram , not sure on speed New: 3700X @ Stock +...

A bit late, but I got the new rig up over the weekend. Of course I only have 1 gpu between them which makes testing pure CPU bound stuff a headache, but hoping to get some time this weekend to do a 'proper' comparison. I don't do too much modern AAA, so gaming won't be the newest best titles...

Same boat here, going from an OC 2600K to a 3700X. This is for sibelius work, audio recording and gaming/streaming, paired with a vega 56. I'm also going to an nvme m2 drive. If there's anything specific you want me to check I'll do that if I can, CPU is due to arrive Monday (stupid 12th...

Ahhhhh, my cmd+R attacks can move to target DPD instead of OCUK now. That's a 3700X + Mugen 5 & some 8pack ram: the final pieces of the puzzle!

Looks like Monday delivery for us poor NI folk. Still, great communication though, it's appreciated.

I was hoping they would arrive Wed/Thurs, before it gets too bad. Remember when they had their stupid dangerous bonfire removed (by court judgement) last year they burnt out a bus? Criminal they can get away with it. If it wasn't such a nice place to be most of the year I'd be out like a shot.

Two day delivery to NI alongside the traditional 12th riots is going to be a disappointing weekend if they don't get out today :'( Guess I'll need to book Monday off :p

Mate, all day yesterday too lol

Which model?

Even if they are in, they would need to be packed in time for a DPD pickup, which I'd guess won't be super late - Recon a lot of emails going out tomorrow morning for an early pickup of orders made up tonight.
