    gaming chair suggestion...Razer Iskur or Herman Miller?

    Personally, it feels like most gaming chairs are mostly just based on marketing and their flashy appearance.

    gaming chair suggestion...Razer Iskur or Herman Miller?

    Wanted to ask, does it specifically have to be a gaming chair? I was looking for a computer chair too and most people recommended me away from gaming chairs and to just get an office chair. They can be expensive though, but affordable if you get a used one, if you are willing to go that route.

    I was told not to use the correct size pads for my EVGA RTX 2060S/2080S? Also need fans.

    It's the 2080 that is running hot. The only measurement the card has is the GPU core and hotspot, it sadly does not have a sensor for the memory (or if it does, multiple applications that are supposed to report the temp don't see it). I was planning to use NT-H2 for the GPU core anyway, but I...

    I was told not to use the correct size pads for my EVGA RTX 2060S/2080S? Also need fans.

    I have a 08G-P4-3062-KR (EVGA RTX 2060 Super SC Black ACX 3.0) and a 08G-P4-3081-KR (EVGA RTX 2080 SUPER Black) For the 2060, the fan sometimes makes a grinding noise (Shown here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLUOB9xM-5E ) and the noise gets louder if I touch the card. I was told...

    Question Trying to find a viable modern replacement for my gaming keyboard form 2012

    Heh, I am on PC. Have to admit though, most of those aren't what I am looking for. The closest is the Wooting Two HE which.... does not appear to be on Amazon anymore, in fact Amazon tries to recommend that SteelSeries one in place of it, did it get replaced? Oof, that K100 is... expensive...

    Question Trying to find a viable modern replacement for my gaming keyboard form 2012

    My old Cherry MX Red gaming keyboard (Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger from 2012) is starting to bite the dust, and I can only try to clean and repair it so many times (especially since it's not easy to open or replace components) so I am trying to find a modern equivalent, issue is nothing seems...

    Planning to repair my 3770K by just upgrading it to 9700K, thoughts?

    ARGH! Just my luck! Just tonight the RAM I wanted shot up in price from $230 to $260! First the CPU shot up in price from $200 to $220 now the RAM, it almost feels like IK am being targeted at this rate. My local Microcenter does have the RAM open box for $207.... but I dunno if I should trust...

    Planning to repair my 3770K by just upgrading it to 9700K, thoughts?

    z490 boards cost more than an equivalent z390, and that cpu would be a downgrade from the 9700k. And I can't re-use my ram, it's DDR3, z390 and z490 boards need DDR4.

    Planning to repair my 3770K by just upgrading it to 9700K, thoughts?

    I know the first thing on many people's minds is going to be "Why Intel? Why not AMD? Especially such an older CPU?" Believe me, if this was an entirely new build, and more importantly if I had the money, I would be tossing a 5700X minimum in this. However, I don't have the money, and this is...

    Question Looking for suggestions on what possible GPUs I can upgrade a workstation to be at least on par with a GTX 670.

    I have a Dell Optiplex T3610. It has a proprietary PSU, so I am stuck with that PSU, but it can deliver 685 Watts. The issue though is that the PSU only has a single 8-pin connector for GPU power, shown (unplugged) here: View: https://i.imgur.com/TbxbeFk.jpg And the system came with a...

    Question Looking for a cheap $300-ish prebuild as a backup PC to toss a used GPU into

    I just placed an order for the Dell one and messaged them about the PSU, hope everything goes smoothly. Issue is it might arrive at latest the 28th, that's really cutting it close to January (there were some events I wanted to do that will end in December). Now I just need to shop for a SSD...

    Question Looking for a cheap $300-ish prebuild as a backup PC to toss a used GPU into

    I did message them just now, though they are a 3rd party seller so I have no idea if and when they might respond, or if they even just have no idea if their inventory could be a mixed bag. The PSU lacking the proper power connectors for the GPU isn't even something I considered, thanks for...

    Question Looking for a cheap $300-ish prebuild as a backup PC to toss a used GPU into

    So my currently desktop bit the dust, and it could be a while until I diagnose the problem and get it running again since it could be anything it and getting/returning parts will take a long time. Issue is, that was my only desktop that isn't using tech nearly two decades old, and my laptop also...

    Question Need advice picking between these four budget mechanical gaming keyboards

    My current old keyboard (CM Storm Trigger Z) has been giving me trouble, and may be on it's way out (Just barely got it mostly working again). I currently can't spend a lot on a replacement keyboard and have been trying to lookup what matches it's features as closely as I can (backlighting...

    Can I disable those "This Week" weekly PMs from "PC Gamer Community Team"?

    I didn't know I was going to get a weekly ad like this, and it spams my e-mail since it sends me an alert that I got one. If I were to disable my PM alerts, I would not get any alerts for any private message I get. Is there any way I can just disable this weekly one from "PC Gamer Community Team"?
