    Budget 0-20k Help me choose a 27" 1440p Monitor

    32 is great and works well at arms length for me too. Now 27 looks small to me. 42 seems impractical at same distance so limit is somewhere in between. 27 1440p - will be fine and good upgrade from 1080p 21. 24 1080p has lower ppi. acer KV v2 is nice.

    Amazon sale buying advice - Air Purifier, Fire TV Stick

    Hello, 1) So i live in Mumbai and get a lot of dust in my room even with windows/door closed most of the time. My room is small about ~150sqfeet.

    Budget 90k+ 1440p/4K Gaming PC

    1) If focus is on native + no/light raytracing + 4k then GRE is obvious choice i think. And it looks to be competent in RT too. 12 gb vram is going to be tight, just makes no sense to go with a compromised gpu. 2) upscaling - along with performance we also need to look at image quality. This...

    Budget 90k+ 1440p/4K Gaming PC

    yes so this might depend on games, but anyway from what i remember, at 4k gap increases because of lower bandwidth in 4070. Meaning perhaps not the best option to buy now for 4k specifically. yes GRE seems nice, it has relatively better RT performance vs 7800xt. AMD getting better, but FSR is...

    Budget 90k+ 1440p/4K Gaming PC

    1) 4070 - probably not best choice for 4k as its constraint by bandwidth ( and vram ). It gets slower than 3080 at 4k while being competitive at lower resolution because 3080 has more bandwidth. Still, should be fine for slightly older games / lower settings. 2) DLSS is much better than FSR and...

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    L08 was ok when i tested but i havent dont too much stuff on that card. Probably best to get it officially anyway, so unless he is facing issue with L09, go for that.

    PC Case

    Simply don't connect the argb cables to motherboard and by default there is no fan light. That's what i do, and yeah fan controller is nice. I also put a 140 fan under the gpu, there is lot of space and that does the work of a side fan - probably better as you don't need to disconnect cable...

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    Typically nvidia cards are supposed to be better for productivity work. This also only has 6gb vram which can be an issue. A used 6600 might be a better buy for many instead. 3300x/3600x seem like a good pair for it. i tested it with 3300x and did not have cpu bottlenecks at 1080p. No idea...

    Internet keeps on disconnecting

    Don't know. You could just take a backup and do it. If it doesn't boot, just boot from Live Linux image and restore file or something similar.

    Internet keeps on disconnecting

    I had a similar issue with different TP link device ( has antenna). It used to work on Linux but not on windows and i think this happened after windows update. I couldn't really fix it, but then it started working after installing windows from scratch when i changed motherboard/cpu etc.

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    yes, base core voltage is 1049 - so we can undervolt + increase clock - more perf and lower heat. Best formula for tuning for both cpu and gpu. You can test it with something like furmark too which caused crashes for what seemed stable initially. I used that and superposition + games. This card...

    Activating Windows on a refurbished PC

    LTSC works well though if one is looking to avoid bloat and have something like win7. Haven't faced any issue with it for general stuff.

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    Why is it not publicly available ? In my case, it is a zip file with 2 files - cmd and exe. I ran the cmd without root access, it will ask for permission which i gave and thats it. At first i had tried to run it as root using an elevated cmd shell but that did not work. So simply - just ran...

    Seagate Backup Plus External Not Getting Detected - Help!

    My external also died like that some time back. It would turn on, make some noise and then i think stopped spinning maybe. Couldn't access. I have had couple of externals disks die in last couple of years. Oddly, most of my seagate drives have had issues eventually, while one wd drive...

    FS: Video Card RX 5600 XT Asrock Challenger OC Edition

    I had bought one from mdcomputers couple of months back. Just fyi, op can confirm for his card - 1) import date was recent - like few months back 2) He confirmed on email that there is 3 years warranty. This a good entry level card . i think around 85%-90% of 6600 but with 2gb less vram. So...

    Budget 21-30k Help me select a 27" 1440p IPS monitor

    Which stand did you use for VG240Ys ? How comfortable is 1080p vertical ? I might consider this for coding and work and use a 1440p oled for games. I have a tight desk with a 1440p screen taking maybe 2/3rd of the space, there is open space on one side of desk so can overshoot a bit. Since work...

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    ok, do that. If needed, let me know and ill upload what i have. Maybe first see if stock is stable before looking at uv. Each gpu will have its own limits. Just increase voltage if something crashes or decrease clocks. Google for tips on how to undervolt. Also search over internet too and see...

    Budget 31-40k Trying to go for budget build with RX 5600 XT

    1) Google it or contact asrock and check. Check support page of latest gpus from asrock, can you find bios for them ? I could not for a random 6600 from asrock. if they are not there in support/download, then asrock has changed the process to update bios. 2) Does Asrock tweaker have any option...
