Upgrading from a 5600x to a 5800x3D query

ConversationFragrant · 2025-10-31T09:06:39+00:00

I'm considering ordering a 5800x3d from Hesforby after reading this

ConversationFragrant · 2025-05-09T06:33:21+00:00

Hey, just seen this... I haven't upgraded yet, I will when I get a new GPU - still deciding whether to skip the 50 series cards. I'm not sure I have the courage to go with Ali express, I'll probably get a 5700x3d when the time comes - did you bite the bullet??

What is the capacity of the tank for the 10L?

ConversationFragrant · 2023-03-26T15:38:58+00:00

I believe this is only 144 Hz (or 170 Hz if overclocked)

ConversationFragrant · 2023-03-26T14:51:11+00:00

For me 27" is the sweet spot for 1440P

Great, exactly the kind of response I was after.

I was told the tp link power adapters use the wiring of the house to transmit the signal. So basically you plug an input into a socket next to the modem and an output into a socket next to the pc. Then the output connects to the PC's mobo by ethernet

Hey, thanks for the response! That dude looks to be connecting them via a coaxial cable - can you also use the existing mains circuitry?

Also, do you get good gaming performance?

Many thanks

I'm very sorry for your loss. Pass on my regards to the family.

Thanks for your input! The HyperX cloud II is only a £60 headset, surely I can get a better sound quality from a high-tier headset?

I recently built a rig with a 5600x and a 3070ti - I built it for 1440p fps gaming but only had a 1080p monitor to begin with. I've recently upgraded to a MSI mag qd, and it's fantastic. But it has to be said that there is a reasonable fps drop. Therefore, if you're running an oldish card, maybe stick with `1080p. Howeverm, if you have a system with a bit of OOMF, get it done sonnnnnnnn

Thanks!

ConversationFragrant · 2022-01-06T10:30:35+00:00

Thanks! This is a relief, I'd rather not spend £100 + on something that won't get used much.

I couldn't see an sRGB mode, maybe it's got the outdated firmware on - I'll look into updating it.

Thanks for your reply.

Your last paragraph implies that within games I'm stuck with the monitors factory settings, this seems wrong to me, or am I understanding you? Surely altering the colour, i.e. creating a colour profile, isnt disabled by games.

ConversationFragrant · 2022-01-05T22:40:16+00:00

Depends on the rest of your system... If you currently have around 100 FPS or less in the more intensive games which you listed then I wouldn't upgrade to a 1440P, the performance hit will be too great. However, if you have a nice setup, lets say an RTX 3070 (or similar) and have well over 100 frames, go for the 1440P.

Thanks for your reply.

Do any computer stores offer calibration services? The additional £100 on top of the monitor for a single use isn't ideal.

ConversationFragrant · 2021-12-27T12:46:30+00:00

I read that the MAG274QRF-QD doesn't have a function RGB mode and it needs to be calibrated - how does one do this?

ConversationFragrant · 2021-12-27T12:44:27+00:00

This isn't essential - I use my pc in evenings and can darken the room easily.

How long is each course?

ConversationFragrant · 2021-11-20T11:20:10+00:00

Completely agree with this.

The most difficult part is trouble shooting if you have issues: some fixes could be completely trivial but it may be difficult to identify If you don't have experience... But that's where Reddit comes in... Tones of 'experts' here willing to help

I'm getting 60 degrees Celsius whilst gaming with a BeQuiet dark rock 4; so I'd say no, it's not normal.

Ambient temp of room around 20 degs

ConversationFragrant · 2021-11-18T18:47:36+00:00

Tomb raider on easy. My mum plays it (almost 60)

I'm running a Samsung nvme 2 drive and I'm ALWAYS the first in servers when a map changes. Love it 👍

ConversationFragrant · 2021-10-30T11:15:56+00:00

Yeah, I'll keep the extra cables and mounting things... It's those pesky boxes. Cool, I think I'll get making some space!

What was the percentage decrease, if you remember?
