Hardware & Reviews / Re: System upgrade - 8700k & mobo

Memory is a bit slower but with tighter timings ...
Funny thing there;  I remember reading an article & test a few years ago, where they've compared RAM modules.  Back then their conclusion was the ram "Speed" (the frequency) was of lesser importance for the performance, the timing was a much greater factor.   I wonder if this is still true, though.
Comparing the two kits 3200MHz and 3600mhz they'd most likely perform about the same because of the difference in speed and timings. From memory (pun) I think you're right but it was also application dependent, some like the speed some like the timings. It is also different for Intel and new Amd CPU's

A slightly more refined choice rather than the pre-packaged kit. Save a few bucks from things you might not need...
Mobo doesn't have wifi but better vrm, more usb ports.
CPU same but doesn't have integrated graphics.
Memory is a bit slower but with tighter timings and the shorter heat sink should better clearance with most tower coolers, no arrgeeebeee lol. Depends on brand preference too.

Agree with the air cooling, a good single tower or big dual tower

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/484250 futu_online ebay has 20%off with code, prices are a little jacked but with the 20% and free post usually ends up a decent price compared to pccasegear+postage (I've bought a lot from pccg too but a long while ago), I've bought heaps of stuff from them and their shipping time is fast at least in Sydney regions. I put 3700x + gskill 3200 16gb + sam 500ssd + msi tomahawk b450 in my cart 1146-20% $916. https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists/876150/amd $976+postage
Mostly depends on the budget and brands you like anyways...
Oh.... https://www.pccasegear.com/products/44161/intel-core-i9-9900k-processor $800 lol

If I was buying right now I'd go 8 cores with ht, some fast ram 3200MHz min, a good mid range mobo and a big Samsung evo/pro ssd not the qv's. Only depending on budget would I decide Intel or amd, and drop down to 6 core amd if the budget was tightish. Ryzen 3600 is similar in benchmarks to 8700k and the amd CPU's come with a decent cooler (upgrade if you want cooler/quieter but not over the top). So....
Tightish budget... Ryzen 2600/3600, 3200MHz ram (min), b450/x470. Big Samsung evo ssd.
Or... Ryzen 3700, 3600mhz ram, b450/x470/x570 (not sure when b550 is coming). Maybe upgrade cpu cooler to something beefier and quiet.
Money to burn... 9900k (needs beefy cooling $$), z390 (don't cheap out $$), 3200MHz ram min.
I reckon in a few years a 6 core will be like previous gen i5's but at least amd should have better upgrade path so a 3600 is still a good choice. Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus have some good videos on ryzen mobo recommendations, you can get previous gen boards on sale just don't go to the bottom of the barrel.

So if you put the gigabyte card back in the problem persists? If so then for sure it's the card. Also if your gpu temps are good, slightly restricted airflow shouldn't be a problem, your new case has good airflow anyways right?

Gooogle found some things to try...from other users

1. Disconnected power cable for the 144hz monitor and then it worked connected via displayport. give it a try..

2. another user here (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1082565/?offset=4#5942388) who posted a solution that using the 416.35 drivers resolves the issue.

3. windows 10 automatically set my main monitor to "disconnect this monitor" on display settings. I had to change it to "Extend desktop to this display" option in multiple display to get it working again.

4. tried a bunch of things, including resetting mobo bios, reinstalling card and cables, and now for whatever reason DisplayPort is working again. Not entirely sure what did the trick.

For the benefit of future readers: also installing https://www.techpowerup.com/244981/nvidia-has-a-displayport-problem-which-only-a-bios-update-can-fix just in case it is related and it can prevent the problem from re-appearing. When I ran the Nvidia tool it said an update to the graphics card's bios was needed.

Do you have a spare gpu you can test with those monitors or test the monitors out with hdmi? Does seem possible the gpu faulty, the rtx cards have had some issues.

You should be able to select your input from the monitors menu, either hdmi or displayport, if they have multiple inputs. Trying one at a time is suggested just in case there's a problem with the gpu running all outputs (maybe faulty).

Are the monitors set to displayport input, have you tried one at time disconnecting the others. If it was working before but not now I'd suspect a windows update bork, try running DDU in safe mode and reinstall the latest nvidia driver.

Hardware & Reviews / Re: Pedals........ its time for a change
« on: September 09, 2019, 03:18:54 PM »
Other than that, TBH I don't really notice much difference between these and the G27 pedals with the GTEye spring mod.

Surprised at that. Going from GTEye modded G27 pedals to CSV2 with load cell was one of the biggest step ups in gear for me. Made a huge difference. Maybe you should plug the G27's back in and see if that's true or just how you remember them  :P
Same for me, far less lock ups, smoother application and ease on/off brakes. However I'd imagine for an alien all that is done with ease no matter the hardware.
