    Weekend stumble = broken mobo :-(

    Thank you guys for all for your help. I am just looking into B450 motherboards. Seems the MSI Tomahawk is by far the best option. Just trying to sort out a cooler now. I have the NH-U12S but lost the box when we moved so have no mounting kit for AM4. Really appreciate the advice :-)

    Weekend stumble = broken mobo :-(

    Thanks for the reply and I must admit this is something I am now considering. With the current situation my money is tight so maybe something like the Ryzen 3600 would be a good buy considering the ££££. Not going to be able to stretch to the new Intel's I don't think. And with reference to my...

    Weekend stumble = broken mobo :-(

    Firstly, thanks for looking at my post. So, as the thread title says, I had stumble earlier. I'm rather clumsy day to day but sadly this time I was carrying my PC. I did drop it but sort of caught it as it hit the floor so luckily zero case damage BUT my mobo physically broke at the GPU socket...

    DELL S2719DGF Owners Thread

    I'm still happy with mine. It hasn't been without it's issues though and I have had a lot of backwards and forwards with Dell regarding picture loss when using the Overclock (155HZ) option. There is a thread on Reddit regadring the issue and seems to effect AMD and Nvidia. The monitor loses...

    DELL S2719DGF Owners Thread

    I also have this issue. For me it stops if I turn the 155hz option off. Strangely enough I have been in contact with Dell about this issue this past fortnight but their support has been useless. There is also a Reddit thread discussing it. Happens to both AMD and Nvidia. When it happens on mine...

    Is my 5700XT dying?

    It’s a Lian Li PCV33, 2 Noctuas at the front, 2 at the back, Noctua CPU with 2 fans. Never had a problem with overheating and had the case for quite a while and the card since September. Case is cold to the touch.

    Is my 5700XT dying?

    Updated my sig to show PSU. I have the Seasonic Focus PX-850 850W 80+ Platinum PSU so should have no issues. I have to return the 2060 so I put my 5700XT back in with the latest drivers (DDU in safe mode install method). I fired up Modern Warfare and all seemed great for a few mins then it...

    Is my 5700XT dying?

    So firstly thanks for looking at my post. I have the Sapphire 5700XT Nitro and it’s not been without issues but performance wise it has been ok, well sort of I apart from the already heavily documented black screens, constant problems with my Dell S2719DGF when set at 155HZ and more all of...

    Quick Windows Sound Speakers Setting Question

    Thank you so much for your help. What you suggest makes perfect sense and I’m going to adjust my settings a bit later.

    Quick Windows Sound Speakers Setting Question

    Does the same rule apply if you have 2 satellites and a sub connected to a hifi amp via toslink or do you need to set it to full range so all frequencies are pushed to the amp and the amp will do the sorting?

    Arcam rPAC DAC unsuitable for gaming?

    This makes perfect sense. The AE5 is capable of processing all the available fx then transferring them via optical to the Denon. Like you said, the Dacs are just that, stereo DACs. The AE5 I’m using belongs to a friend who said I can have it for £35 so I’m sticking with that and I am going to...

    Arcam rPAC DAC unsuitable for gaming?

    After testing the Cyrus Soundkey on my system I can honestly say I am baffled. Once again the sound is great as I thought it would be BUT gaming audio presents itself slightly empty. Switching from the AE5 to either DAC I instantly lose background noise such as the buzzing of a drone (MW)...

    Arcam rPAC DAC unsuitable for gaming?

    Thanks for the reply and your excellent explanation. Since posting this I have been given a Soundblaster AE5 to try. Like the on board, there is more audio content when gaming, especially with Modern Warfare. I have even tried another USB cable. The quality of sound is brilliant from the DAC...

    Arcam rPAC DAC unsuitable for gaming?

    Firstly thank you for looking at my post!! I currently game using the on board on my ASUS Z370 Tuf Pro Gaming which is ok, it works and sounds alright. I'm connected via optical to a Denon Stereo amp which is connected to a Cambridge Audio Sub and 2 Cambridge Audio minx speakers. My pc is in a...

    Cyrus Gaming Soundkey on a desktop

    The issue I have (and others on the EVGA forums) is the toslink socket falls out and you cant fit it back in and a Toslink cable will not stay in without out it sadly. For myself and other users they have issued very quick RMA's and have swapped old for new. I'm not going to use Toslink looking...

    Cyrus Gaming Soundkey on a desktop

    First post in this forum so hi to all. So, my EVGA Nu Audio being RMA'd as I type (second time!!!!!) so I am now going to use a Cyrus Gaming Soundkey (a very generous gift from a friend who works at a hi fi shop!!) for the meantime. I don't use headphones much so I will be connecting it via...

    Yes it does post. At 1.35 I can play games with no apparent problems but OCCT and Prime start displaying errors quite quickly

    Is there something wrong with my CPU/Mobo?

    I ran memtest and all came back fine. I've even bought another PSU, a Seasonic 850W Plat but still the same. I'm at 4.7 at the mo, prime tested for 10 hours but at 1.38v, any lower and it fails. Bad chip maybe? Mobo maybe? CPU at stock settings is fine, clrd CMOS, set to xmp no other changes...
