    Gigabyte Z690 UD AX

    In future google your motherboard model (or go to manufactures site and search for it.) one of the first results is very likely (always in my experience) going to be the manufactures page for the motherboards from there select support > Memory support and there you'll find your question...

    New to me Free Thinkpad T450 running Linux Mint.. very pleased.

    I will take a look at these when I have time... I have used the Xfce Mint version in the past and it was pretty decent... I have the most experience with Mint, but I will take a look at some other options as well.

    [DEAD] Newegg: Seasonic Syncro Q704 Case $72 (w/FS)

    the connect and syncro are proprietary right and they are marked way the heck down, thus suggesting they're not exactly setting the market on fire. You maybe out of luck if you need to replace the power supply down the road? edit: why are all the photos of this case so bad, I really can't...

    ugh... noisy audio, do I need usb isolator or ac ground loop isolator or ???

    The cable i think, as the hub is fine now with the one device disconnected from it and getting power from a seperate power source.. The cable actually looked a bit crap if I'm honest not sure where I even got it from? Oh well, I swear I tried unplugging that thing last week? but...

    ugh... noisy audio, do I need usb isolator or ac ground loop isolator or ???

    So... I am please and also confused. I have solved the issue, today. But I already had eliminated this as a possibility last week.. TL : DC (is that a thing because it is now?) ... another device was getting usb power from my powered hub, it was apparently causing the noise... I swear I...

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    There was reports (I don't remember where I saw it?) that Microsoft had finally decided to blacklist the Technet keys as they were not valid after Technet got shut down 10yrs~ ago, as the technet keys were only valid while you had an active technet sub... my understaning is technet keys no...

    Warning: EVGA has changed their pinout on some PSUs

    Well that is pretty bad, Seasonic kinda did this to me, I had a X750 I needed to RMA they send a X750 MkII which had totally different cables and caused some confusion... luckily it was physically possible to use the old (now wrong) cables and blow my pc up, However it did mean waiting some...

    60% Keyboards how to enter Bios?

    I have to say what I learned with my cheap GMK67 build is the lack of dedicated F keys and Print Screen annoys me, I also have pretty big hands I find the TKL 80% is just the best format for myself.. Going to stick with it from now on. last year I spend $200 on keyboards only to find out...

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    huh... in my case windows had been activated w/ digital license and showed up in my M$ account... which i selected and then reactivated. However if it isn't listed w/ you Microsoft account I am not sure what else to try at that point? Sorry maybe it is different with an OEM key?

    60% Keyboards how to enter Bios?

    If you are running windows you can also reboot to bios (Settings> System > recovery>advanced start up > then chose boot to bios from the advance startup menu).

    Windows activation after CPU upgrade - originally used OEM license / product key

    Yeah... this happened to me when I updated the bios of my Z690 Aorus Elite AX board... I was using a Win 8 retail key, I had used during the free upgrade period (offical time frame). At first the only option it would give when trying to enter the key was to buy a new key.... HOWEVER...

    ugh... noisy audio, do I need usb isolator or ac ground loop isolator or ???

    at this point I don't think it is a ground loop either.. it seems more like a EMI/RF problem with something in the case. I should really probably buy a more reasonably sized case, as the NZXT H630 is gigantic... and heavy. I won't have time likely until next weekend.. but I'm going to...

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    You won't lose access, my legit retail win8 key got deactivated after a bios update on my pc... and all that happened was got the annoying watermark until I finally got it to reactivate which was a pain .. at first the only option showing when tried to activate was to buy a new license...
