    Question is 16-20-20 @3600 worth upgrading from 16-18-18-38 @3000

    No, the differences are so small they aren't worth it. I would instead save up for a better processor, maybe a 5600X3D/5800X3D (This will negate any reason to upgrade RAM in the first place for gaming at least) since 3D chips are far less bottlenecked by RAM speed due to the cache.

    Question CPU for AM4 MB?

    Taking a look at the official CPU support for this motherboard, looks like unfortunately it does not support the newest AM4 processors. However you will still get a massive performance jump with a CPU upgrade, personally I would go with a 3600X or 3700X if your mainly gaming, or a 3900X if you...

    New TV advice

    Sony OLED TVs use LG panels, but with their own image processing and calibration, both higher end Sony and LG units typically feature a heatsink, which keep the panel from automatically dimming during high brightness (such as during static scenes) Sony TVs use Android, LG TVs use WebOS. Some...

    New TV advice

    The LG C2 supports both as you know, but its close enough in brightness to a QD OLED not to be an issue in the environment you are in. Having seen these side by side, the LG OLED C2 is a more natural (In the way it presents colors) panel, I don't put much stock in burn in hysteria, both panels...

    Question i7 7700k to i7 12700k worth it ?

    Normally I would ask for exact use case, but honestly going from a 7700K to a 12800K is going to benefit everything you do, I cannot comment on subjective value, but I will say its a significant jump in performance across the board objectively. But for gaming specifically, its only going to be...

    High Resolution Mode in HP Bios

    I have been noticing that HP laptops have this "High Resolution Mode" setting in the BIOS, and the only way we have able to get more than 2 monitors working at full resolution at 60Hz off of a USB-C dock is to enable it. I read online that this disables USB3.0 support. My question is are these...

    X-fi Sound card not working with windows version update. Recommend a replacement

    A little late to the party here, but typically a DAC/AMP Combo is superior to most internal solutions, I would recommend something like a JDS Labs Atom stack or Schiit Stack over sound cards for most things. However, the AE-5 is a good card if you must go internal.

    Question Question on 32:9 displays - can you have 2 computers both showing?

    I occasionally use it for displaying my work laptop and my personal desktop at the same time, works really well but keep in mind you won't get high refresh rate so gaming is no bueno.

    Thinking about picking up the Samsung Q80T 75"

    In a brightly lit room, the QLED will be just fine, however in a low to medium light room the OLED's contrast is going to make a big difference. I have a 75 inch Q60 in the living room and a 55 inch OLED B6 in my bedroom, the OLED is on another level. Its just that the blacks are more of a dark...
