15lbs is really heavy... for a clamp mount to comfortably hold that weight, you're almost certainly going to do some damage to the desk. So with that said, is there possibly merit to getting a mount that screws in instead of just clamping?




So, the ones I looked at have both options. You can drill the desk, I guess, and have a pass through grommet type. There is also support plates that can be used for the clamp type, that would distribute the weight over the plates. My concern is the monitor's arm, itself, moving. I guess i'm pretty confident that I can make the clamp/pass through grommet type stable. I just worry that the monitor won't stay put.

Do you have any issues with the monitors sagging/dropping down?

I bought 3 of these for my monitors. I hate the lack of versatility the 2n1 mounts provide. Especially with the way I keep my monitors

Here's a pic I took of my setup while doing cleanup

I didn't even consider two singles. I like that idea.

y'all, i'm thinking of upgrading my CPU, and i've seen alot of love for the 5800x3D. is that really the best one out of the 5000 series. they seem to be sold out everywhere though compared to a 5900x. are there any pros/cons to these?

7000 series isn't really an option for me at the moment.

The 5800x3D is the best gaming processor on the market for AM4, and it’s not particularly close. And it’s probably not in stock because a huge sale was just run on them for like $329. Just wait for a restock.

But that’s just for gaming. If you need the extra cores for production tasks, the 5900x would obviously blow it out of the water.

Antonline consistently has the lowest prices on CPU these days, but I don't have any experience with them. People on Reddit seem to buy from them all the time, though.

I know. But I figured you knew your own FPS, so no need to inform you

Made more sense to give an easy comparison to the non-x3D version (5800x, 5900x, 5950x basically game identically).

The AMD site had some bundles that were insane. You can get a 6900xt and 5800 for 1200
