    Samsung Secure Erase quirk

    I am selling a Samsung 870 EVO SSD and want to ensure my files are not accessible by the next person. I did a diskpart /clean and then did a Samsung Secure Erase using their bootable utility. It all looked fine, but I wanted to test it. So I created a new volume and put some video files on the...

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    I ended up buying two more sticks of 4GB of the same version from Corsair, to reduce the risk of incompatibility. I think 16GB will hold me over for a while. Did we come to a conclusion as to whether or not you can mix two 4GB and two 8GB sticks and have it still work in dual channel utilizing...

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    Okay, thanks guys for the input. Looking like I can make some improvement by sticking another 8GB in there of the same type, then upgrade to the next gen everything next year. Hopefully I can get by with some basic editing with this setup.

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    I do CAD (Solidworks), though that's hardly ever taxing compared to doing 4K video editing in Premiere Pro. I've had my computer lag many times doing that. I have two of these currently: 4GB ea 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5V ver2.12

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    I don't know. Right now just doing some basic stuff the computer is using like 6GB of the 8GB. I figure if I'm going to upgrade I might as well put as much as possible while keeping what I have.

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    Can anyone else confirm whether the additional ram (2x 8GB) needs to be exactly the same or just the voltage? Edit: Also... will I run into any issues by running a 4GB stick in Channels 1 & 3, and an 8Gb stick in channels 2 & 4. (Total = 24GB)? It should still operate in dual channel and not be...

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    I see. So if I added some 2133 RAM, in slots 2 & 4, all four slots would run at whatever my current RAM is? 1333 or 1600 whatever I find out... Through HWInfo it does say that the RAM is operating at 1600MHz. How would I verify this?

    DDR3 RAM Upgrade compatibility and worth it?

    Hi all, I've got an older computer that I want to add more RAM to because I've heard it will help when editing video (4K GoPro footage). Is this true? Assuming it's a worthwhile upgrade... Motherboard: MSI P67-G43 (https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/P67AG43_B3/Overview) CPU: Intel i7 2600K 3.4GHz...

    Shared local network security question

    Thanks for the help! Yes, when I said that I plugged in the LAN ports, I meant exactly what you described. I have a point-to-point 'invisible' bridge setup that makes it look like the routers are directly connected with a cable. #1 Okay I see, that makes sense. Is there a downside to...

    Shared local network security question

    Hi everyone. Quick couple of questions I hope! I share an internet connection with a neighbor via a wireless bridge. The neighbor's router is connected to the internet, so I plugged a LAN port on my router into the neighbor's LAN port. So I can access the both router configurations and the...

    Having a weird router-wifi-router issue

    Hi everyone. TIA for reading this essay - I am trying to be as clear as possible. I am connected to a Linksys WRT54GX2 router which is connected via LAN port to a Ubiquiti wireless bridge to a Netgear MR814v2 router at the main building. This is a WISP situation and there is no 'modem' to...

    Upper Mid-Range Build, GPU and MOBO missing

    Just a little update in case anyone reads this thread. Everything is still working perfectly and there are no compatibility issues. The GPU and CPU run very cool in this case. GPU idles at 28-32 deg. C and reaches about 65 deg C while playing BF3. The case fans remain quiet and smooth after...

    Cell Phone Wireless range extenders

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if they can do anything due to where I live. There are mountains and trees physically blocking wireless signals. Verizon is in fact my wireless provider. The repeater that they offer requires an always-on broadband internet connection which I don't...
