Hardware / i7 11800h vs i9 11900h

« on: 2021-08-04, 16:24:13 »

Hi guys,

I am buying Alienware x15 and I am torn between buying the i9 11900h or i7 11800h. knowing that it will be with RTX 3070 and 32 GB ram. I am just afraid of the thermals and to have the same scenario of the previous generation where the i7 was performing better than the i9.

Any idea guys about the new generation, I need advice.

Thank you

Hardware / 2990wx Shutting down

« on: 2020-08-10, 10:58:14 »

Hi, Guys,
 I am recently facing a problem with my desktop, here is the build before:

- AMD Threadripper 2990WX 3 GHz 32-Core Processor
- Enermax Liqtech TR4 II 280 80.71 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Asus ROG ZENITH EXTREME ALPHA EATX sTR4 Motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
- Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
- Asus GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB STRIX GAMING Advanced Video Card
- Fractal Design Define XL R2 ATX Full Tower Case
- Corsair 1600 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Before it was freezing and I have to force to restart from the button on the case since few updates ago stopped to happen but now it's shutting down suddenly without any load.

Your help is much-appreciated guys if you can help to solve this. I am so fed up with it I am already thinking to sell it

Update

after shutting down suddenly, when I turn it on again it makes the beep sound on the motherboard when it resets.

Hardware / Buying a Monitor

« on: 2020-07-31, 17:48:53 »

Hi Guys, I need help with choosing a monitor. My budget is around 500 euros +/- and I have came across many many monitors that it started to be confusing. Dell's reputation is very good and it seems like a safe choice.
I am thinking about Dell UltraSharp 27 monitor U2719D, but I am afraid it's not worth the money. I am not an expert with this.

Thank you
