    MSI B660M Mortar vs. Asus Z690M Plus

    Yup, that has been my conclusion after several days at looking at all the models. I think I'm going to go with the B660M Mortar Wifi, which is oddly cheaper than the B660M Mortar (non-Wifi). Maybe it's because it's silver and people don't like the color? I've noticed the same thing with the...

    HX850 (2018) vs RM850x (2021)

    The HX850 is Platinum rated while the RM850x is Gold, however it is also 3 years newer. They're roughly the same price. What should I get? Thanks.

    MSI B660M Mortar vs. Asus Z690M Plus

    Well, I'm comparing them because at the moment and in my part of the world they're the exact same price. It seems like the B660M board is superior on every level (aesthetics, VRM, 7.1 audio, 2.5Gb internet, etc.).. but then why didn't they just make it Z690M? What am I losing by going with the...

    MSI B660M Mortar vs. Asus Z690M Plus

    I'm looking for a Micro-ATX board that handle a 12700k. Seems like the B660M board has better VRM than the Z690M - meaning, that the Z690M board can't even overclock (which is its only purpose) or that the B660M board is overkill (which is not what I've seen according to reviews). How much...

    How do I know which motherboard has better VRM?

    Yeah, I know that. I eventually stopped OC'ing the 2600k altogether so 5.0Ghz on the 12700K is perfectly fine. But apparently, 6+2 is just not cutting for that: https://static.techspot.com/articles-info/2426/bench/12900-nolimit.png I was about to order the D3H before reading that article.

    How do I know which motherboard has better VRM?

    Yeah, I also thought anything above 8 is overkill but then I saw how much the B660 chipset hinders anything above a 12400. On a 6+2, you have a 20% reduction in performance with my CPU (12700k), at stock settings. So, I figured my only option is to go with Z690.. but even the ASUS Z690M-Plus...

    How do I know which motherboard has better VRM?

    For instance, the Z690M AORUS ELITE has 12 chokes, each one rated at 60A. And the Z690I AORUS ULTRA LITE has 10 chokes, but each one is rated at 105A. Do I simply multiply the amount with the amperage to know which one would allow higher overclocks? Thanks!

    Are External HDD's 'safer' than Internal?

    Meaning, if the PSU dies, would an internal HDD be more likely to be fried than an external HDD connected via USB 3.0? They're both powered by the PSU and finding an external HDD with its power supply these days for cheap is hard. Then there's the issue of a power surge that could kill that as...

    Lenovo Y25-25 vs Viewsonic VX2458P

    I've had a 3007WFP-HC (30"/1600p/60hz/8ms) for 12 years now and its showing its age when it comes to playing high-paced FPS games. I'm looking for a second monitor to go alongside it. I've narrowed my options down to a 24" TN 1ms vs a 24" IPS 4ms (?) The best ones I've found are the Viewsonic...

    Best X570 motherboard for 5900X?

    Since my PC is exactly 10 years old (2600k/P67) I've decided that it's time to build a new one but I'm a bit out of the loop. From what I've seen the Ryzen 5900x is the CPU to get, the RAM is easy to figure out, but the motherboard is a bit different. I'm going to buy the RX 6800 when it...

    Mouse like the G700 that doesn't stop working after a year

    No problem. As a side note, I bought the M560 a week ago and it's just absolutely terrible. It slopes down from the base and my hand simply doesn't contort that way. Luckily it's not for me.
