Thank you. I may give it a go. No, I don't change anything. I literally open task manager and leave it open and it keeps usage and temps lower. It has baffled me but it works! If I play any game, my CPU hits 70-75c, but with TM open in the background, it stays at 60-65c

For the last couple of months, I've had to use task manager to regulate CPU usage/temperature. Not sure how I stumbled across it as a 'fix' but when my machine is idling, it can sit around the 60c mark. I apply an undervolt (1.075v @ 4ghz all core) and this used to be all I needed to do. This...

I have the LG CX and run it at 1440p and it actually looks really good. As the others have suggested, I wouldn't even attempt 1080p...

Hey @Jaycensolo, a little off topic but could you recommend any decent Fifa 21 mods? There seems to be less about this year

I've recently completed both. Beautiful games, really well designed and plenty of content. I found the content a little too samey though, your mileage may vary of course. Once I'd completed a location, I had little interest in replaying said location - Because of that, I wouldn't likely pay full...

Great choice! Enjoy your purchase

No bottlenecks there. Both are good mid range parts. Good luck

Personally, I would highly recommend the RTX2070 as the GPU can't be upgraded and it'll give you more longevity with the machine. When you're spending that much money, you may as well max out your options. Maybe go for a smaller size m.2 drive for now and that can be upgraded later on when you...

I would echo @demon28 and repaste. I repasted for the first time ever and did a poor job (using Arctic MX-4) and my GPU was hitting 80-85 degrees. I then changed to Kryonaut and learnt how to repaste and now I struggle to even reach 75 degrees, most of the time I'm around 71-72 (with full...

@maxff9 All laptops (including desktop replacements) have mobile GPUs. Some have Max-Q variants which are less powerful than mobile. It goes Desktop>Mobile>Max-Q. Whilst the configurators won't state 'mobile' after their names, assume all laptops are mobile GPUs unless it has Max-Q on the end...

@Nursemorph amazing isn't it. I just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider on it...These deep blacks in the tombs is mind blowing. Can't wait to try SOTTR now. We really need some kick ass GPUs...

@Nursemorph I got the same tv recently. I tried 4k at 60hz (due to the same GPU limitations you're indicating) and then tried 1440p at 120hz. I ended up sticking with the latter. Like I'm not sure if my eyes are deceiving me but the 1440p on this tv looks unbelievable. Can't wait to get a GPU...

Hey @FraAnt I managed to overclock my RAM to 3200mhz using Ryzen Master. Take a look at videos from the fella in the link below. Very easy to follow and it worked great. https://www.youtube.com/user/SpectrumCG

@fevieira this one maybe perfectly set up for you mate as you share the same CPU. To answer your questions from my perspective; 1) I personally wouldn't use a HDD. I'd utilize the m.2 drives for 2 SSDs as they're much faster. Avoid Intel drives also, go for PCS or Samsung if budget allows. 2)...

Thanks, I can't wait! Just now debating a PC with a big fat Radeon to power it with...

@Nursemorph thank you. I did in the end, it's a 2.0 :)

Hey @SpyderTracks. I have the Nova with the RTX 2070. I was planning on buying an LG CX with the 120hz display for when I'm at home. The plan is to run it on 1440p up to 120hz though as the card wouldn't manage 4K for obvious reasons. Is it safe to assume because it's a 2070, it'd have HDMI...
