Damn 5.2ghz under 1.4v is good man! You got yourself a good chip. I have not tried going passed 5ghz yet. Maybe sometime down the road but for now I am good. Nice scores too.

Picked up an Acer Predator XB271HU at Costco for 499. 27" IPS 144/165hz GSync 2560x1440. Yuge upgrade. Getting about 120fps in DOOM on Ultra and notice the difference coming from 60hz.

Also mirin how thin the bezel is

They're clearancing them apparently. Still $750-799 from online retailers. Makes you wonder what the markup on these things is...

I use razer cause I have never had a problem with them. Keyboards work fine for me and the green backlit matches my theme.

Costco has had it at 499 for weeks now. It doesn't sell well there. I work there... Ours isn't even plugged in and displaying anything... Just sitting there on display turned off. Pretty sure it's 500 at every Costco.

I've been tempted to grab one to replace my 1080p 144hz

I'm waiting for my job to mark the display for sale... Since it hasn't been on for months it's still Gunna be in good shape haha.

A few years back I waited for an LG 2560x1080 that was normally 250ish to get the display marked for sale and got it for like 75 bucks.

I've got some SSD questions boyos


1) Is it hard to transfer an old SSD to a new SSD? Im looking to upgrade from 256 to 500 or even 1TB. Some google searching is telling me i need a special program etc?


2) Any difference in brands? Currently have Samsung but i can see other brands are cheaper?

1) As long as at least 1 of your drives is Samsung branded, you can clone your disk to another SSD using Samsung's data migration software (the disc should have come with the drive on a cd, but I think you can also download it from the Samsung site). It'll clone your drive onto the new drive, which you can then boot from (assuming you're cloning your OS drive).

2) The difference between brands is usually read/write rates, though it's not much of a difference for standard SATA III drives. If you start looking at M.2 NVME drives or U.2, or PCI Express x4 interface SSD's, then the speed ramps up pretty significantly.

SATA III drives are usually around 500-550Mbps read/write with a 6GBps transfer rate over the SATA III cable
M.2 is similar read/write but a 10GBps transfer rate
M.2 NVME, U.2 NVME, and PCI Express x4 NVME are between 2100-3500Mbps read, and around 1600Mbps write. I think U.2 is slightly faster than M.2, and PCI Express x4 3.0 should be around 4GBps transfer rate.

U.2 is a pretty uncommon interface standard so I wouldn't bother looking at them (they're kind of overtly expensive too and not much faster than M.2 NVME). If your board supports an M.2 slot which uses x4 PCI Express lanes, you can use either a Samsung 960 EVO or 960 Pro (which I think is 3500Mbps). They're pretty badass drives.

960 Evo:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-E...amsung+960+evo

$249 for a 500GB model, 3200Mbps read, 1900Mbps write. Beast mode.

Looking to buy a monitor as I'm building my PC next week. I keep hearing good things about this monitor, but I'm a little gunshy dropping $500 on something.

Are there great monitors for cheaper or would I be stupid to pass this up?

Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

Those "special" programs make it simple, and you get extra convenience features that you may or may not need.

Like most goods you pay for what you get. In the case of (Samsung) SSD, that's quality in construction, and a better guarantee.

Slept on it. If Costco still has them, I'll buy one. Maybe buy two and flip one.
Union Strong. Workers are stronger together.
The GOP is a criminal organization who despises the middle class and working poor. Name one policy they have pushed for that increased worker pay, union strength, or worker influence in a corporation.

Monitors are one of the few things you really shouldn't cheap out on. A goods one is 100 percent worth it.

That monitor is really fantastic for that price. Plus Costco has a 90 day return window and they ask 0 questions about refunds so it's Def worth it.
