    Need advice on packing an open box motherboard for a friend

    Secure, cheap and ugly - is how i do it with non-conductive scraps filling the box until nothing moves around anymore. But i always put the hardware in an anti-static bag before. Even the ones suitable for a motherbard are cheap on amzn. Then i put the Original box in a slightly bigger (2-4...

    Thoughts on Intel power limits.

    "out of video memory" error - that issue i had to fix 6 times now. And 6 out of 6 times the card or the pcie extension cable haven´t probperly been seated in the pcie slot. So forgive me if i have troubles believing that a Korean youngling with lots of bling bling in his case and a too tightly...

    Rant: Samsung 6.1 Galaxy Store now pushing ads

    I don´t get you. You are the prime candidate for the business version of that phone. No real bloat and far less, battery draining, tracking.

    Need a Monitor for Testing Gaming Rigs

    Some of Nvidias 3000 gen have issues with running hdmi 2.1 at its fullest. So maybe you want to test this with a compatible monitor (4k/120hz/4.4.4/10bit/VRR/HDR). Not worth it at all if you skimp on a certified hdmi 2.1 cable.

    How to quiet down a portable AC unit in the PC room?

    You are way beyond using air as a medium to transport heat mate. I´m talking about an AC unit outside with insulated pipes connecting the parts inside. How far beyond is the first question to answer and how to express the value. You simply calculate all the wattage in your room together and...

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    Oled warranty is a thing now and it even gets extended from 2 to 3 years for the new models. https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-announces-2-year-warranty-for-oled-burn-in-issue-msi-pledging-3-year-warranty-for-oleds Not that i trust oled one bit more after reading this. I would have issues with...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Isn´t any 5090 sold to gamers a loss since it could have been sold as the lowest tier of business gpu for ten times more? I would rather call suggest that the 5090 will be a halo product with the hashest price tag imaginable. 2,499.00 from Nvidia 2,989.00 from Asus They will be so scarce that...

    Because this site is called HardOCP for a reason...

    So an external 12v powerbrick with an added on/off button and maybe quick connect? That´s 100% or 0%, which is suboptimal for fans, no? So please add a noctua NA-FC1 to your list https://noctua.at/en/na-fc1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwPJOzetdlA I would buy an overpowered brick like...

    Why is this no longer popular?

    This is my peltier/tec covid-rig, born out of part curiosity and boredom ;) Have a closer look at the powerbrick! 120w peltier/tec 3080ti benchmark cheater killer with the tec removed for daily use since it is an insulator if not active. Without it the GPUs 80mm dual tower backplate cooler...

    Intel Core i9-14900KS

    If compared to the bios sp-core rating you have posted a few nice looking, but unjuicy pictures. :p

    3 PSU's - which to choose?

    I´m not recommending anything. At the moment all PSUs cost more than "normal". And bad quality control leads to many "monday" productions with little quirks that can ruin your sanity despite good reviews. Anyhow - here are some...

    Fan Replacement for EVGA 1000W P3

    I just have to get the "don´t do it" out for legal reasons. In theory: Since the fan-curve/ power delivery is hardcoded and cannot be adapted to your new fan you risk that the new one runs slower, faster or with the wrong signalling method (pwm vs DC). Most run with a DC signal as far as i...

    How do your eyes not hurt from HDR?

    One setting to rule them all huh? Do you really try to watch Pacific Rim with the same settings as working with non-HDR optimized office software? That is madness for the eyes ! Like going to the north pole without sunglases. Happy blindness headache! Surely you set the brightness very low...
