    If I put a TPM module in my gigabyte z270 can install windows 11 even though I have an i6700k? Or does TPM need to be in the CPU

    cool Thanks let me try this first. Hope it works. All I do on this machine is play games and browse the web. Nice knowing me :-)

    ok. I haven't read a lot but did read some posts that said there was crashes and instability without TPM on older CPUs but that could have been with pre-GA builds.

    NAS Storage Recommendations

    I only have 1 in a mirror. My storage needs aren't big but I'd definitely want more storage if i upgraded as i find myself deleting some stuff to stay under 1TB. non one uses this system except me. They are also 7200 RPM drives so I assume If I went to 5400 I can still max 1GB with just me using...

    NAS Storage Recommendations

    yeah i'm on a 1Gb network. Standard home setup. Drive age is the main reason i'm considering this. Freenas is reporting bad sectors on one of the drives in my mirror and these things are old. I don't even remember when i bought them. 10 years?

    What's the current state of hardware and gaming in terms of hardware?

    I've been gaming a long time and have not upgraded my i6700K since it came out in early 2016. I've upgraded my card a few times and am now with a 1080Ti but i remember upgrading every 2 years max back in the day. Even at 1440p gaming it feels like faster CPUs just aren't that important anymore?

    Is the XB271HU Still considered a good monitor for the money? It’s 4 years old now

    Thanks. my XB270HU died and the 271 seemed like the next best deal. I was hesitant to buy the same brand twice after the former dying but I did spend 1000s of hours on that monitor over 5 years.

    Saw it for a reasonable price in the 27” IPS 1440p group

    Acer XB270HU Monitor is borked

    i've been fighting lines on the left side of the monitor, flickering and black outs for months. At some point i jiggled the cable such that it worked in games for 3 months but now it's bad again. I'ts okish with the lines coming and going while i browse but once i start gaming the monitor goes...
