    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    Try enabling it from the motherboard first. It will mostly be enabled after this. If it still isn't enabled, then flash the latest VBIOS of your GPU. For the Anti-virus, Windows defender is good enough. As long as you don't go all out in downloading shady stuff and be aware of everything that...

    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    1. It's enough to update drivers from GeForce experience. I'd say that the DDU route should be taken only if your driver has issues or you replugged your GPU. For others, it's enough to simply download the latest version and update. 2. For BIOS, if everything works fine, then let the BIOS be. If...

    TL ; DR= Both are good SSDs. For 14.3k, KC 3000 IMO is a better pick. Sequential speeds are those advertised "read" and "write" speeds by the manufacturer. This metric is mostly used for transferring or loading files. These speeds are limited to 3.5GBps on PCIe Gen3 SSDs, and approx 8GBps on...

    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    For SSD, consider the KC3000. Its got a DRAM cache and good sequential speeds (on par with 850X) for under 15k. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/kingston-kc3000-m2-ssd-review

    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    SK Hynix are better than standard Samsung Chips for DDR5, but when compared to B dies, I think I'll take the B dies, unless there's Hynix M (can Oc upto 7k, check Buildzoid videos) dies under the same budget. But the Hynix you have here looks solid, good timings overall, so I would take that...

    For the memory, check QVL, or Memory Support List that's available on the website of the motherboard. For ex, this is GB Z790 UD's QVL- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-UD-rev-10/support#support-memsup Put your memory stick's part number to check if it matches (...

    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    What games do you intend to play at 1080p. Depending on the title you plan on playing, results will vary. For example, I can think of a few titles where a Ryzen 5 5600 will give well above 240fps at 1080p with a 3080, which makes any higher end CPU unnecessary. I think you can go with the...

    71-90K Need advise for components to build a new high end gaming and productivity system and need tips/guides for windows and bios optimisation.

    13700K is a bit overkill for gaming, you can consider the 13600K as well, since both perform basically the same in gaming. Or you can consider the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 or the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. But if you're more comfortable with Intel, then the 13700K is still a great option. NH D15 is a great...

    0-20k Help me With Fan Case compatible to Corsair iCUE Commander CORE

    Pics after setup:p. Do some trial and error, like Lianli hub to ARGB port and Corsair hub to USB or both daisy chained, and see what works out best. For the display, I would suggest scouring some local electronic shops for a display . Display setup For LCD strips, there are RGB ones that cannot...

    0-20k Help me With Fan Case compatible to Corsair iCUE Commander CORE

    If you truly want to see those fans in your case, then I would suggest you to go ahead. There will always be a workaround if something doesn't work as planned in the PC space. Try one hub in the USB header and the other in the ARGB header. To get easier control over both, motherboard sync would...

    Android The state of OnePlus.

    Right now, Nord and 10 Series should be the ones to avoid. Nord 2T with D1300 is less appealing when compared to Nothing Phone 1 and Pixel 6A. The 2 proper phones from OnePlus now are the 11 Series, namely the OnePlus 11 and the 11R. 11 is good for offering Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and good cams for...

    What motherboard do you have? You should be able to set RGB profiles with the utility software offered by the manufacturer and synchronize every fan. Afaik, commander pro works with only corsair fans, so the hubs provided by each company are proprietary, such that only the fans that they make...

    51-70k Need advice for Gaming Build

    This. I would suggest going with a cheaper case, as those come with more fans and will be easier to build in. But if a compact build is what you have in mind, then you can consider the AP201 or Zeb Woodan. Check out Ant Esports Ice 311 MT or Deepcool Matrexx 40 3Fs. NV2 is best used as...

    71-90K New Gaming PC

    There's no problem in going with a B450 motherboard. You do lose Pcie Gen 4 support but for a simple build, it doesn't really matter. Do get a mothetboard with BIOS flashback tho, since the 5600 launched only early last year, and it's possible that it won't be compatible out of the box with an...

    71-90K Need a desktop for college student

    The RX 6600 costs about 21k. For only gaming, then yes, H610 is fine. Else VRM throttling will kick in and result in lower performance and reduced lifespan of mobo. Also, you lose 2 memory slots

    71-90K Need a desktop for college student

    I would suggest changing the processor to a Ryzen 5 5600, which is actually cheaper at 14k and delivers the same performance as the 12400. For the Ryzen 5 5600, you'll have to change the motherboard as well. MSI B550 PRO VDH or the Gigabyte B550M DS3H are good options. Also, I see that you most...

    Splicing together different ethernet cables to create a longer one

    Thanks for your replies guys. This is just another of my "I'll try it out and if it works fine, I'll use it or it'll end up at the back of my cupboard" stuff. Maybe if I do manage to get at least a solid chunk of my measly 50mbps connections, I'll consider using it. The most strenous networking...
