Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

GotNoRice replied to the thread New landline alert issued to UK homes as switch off deadline gets closer.I wouldn't mind seeing more requirements set as far as what occurs during power outages and other emergency scenarios. My cable ISP goes down after about an hour whenever we have a power outage. I guess that's as long as their battery backups... -
GotNoRice replied to the thread Should i upgrade my 2600x/x470 combo? or get another board?.Definitely upgrade the CPU, especially if you already have decent RAM in that board.

GotNoRice replied to the thread New cable modem.Are you calling up Mediacom and giving them the MAC address of the new modem each time you switch it out? Only asking because obviously these modems are not just plug-and-play. The Modem from your office might have worked without calling if the...

I like how this thread is in the PC Gaming & Hardware section and will probably another year or two before it's out on PC.

Plus I do a lot of sailing the high seas, sure they can see see the signals/traffic still, but the less access they have to equipment to monitor IMO the better For a brief period of time back in the early-late aughts I stole internet by using a...

GotNoRice replied to the thread Modem recommendation (2026).If an ISP is giving you a modem for free, that is a pretty good deal. But every ISP that I've had in the last 20 years has charged a rental fee for using their modem, typically $15/month. I bought my SB8200 in 2019, used it for 7 years. It...

tri-band refers to it supporting 3 wifi bands 6, 5, 2.4 GHZ, not that it has three antennas.

GotNoRice replied to the thread At what percentage remaining should you replace an SSD?.I would caution against taking the percentage indicator too literally. It's based on estimates that were made when the drive was new, and that doesn't always align with how long the NAND lasts in practice. And that's assuming that the estimates...

Installed the update to 26200.9278 yesterday which took quite a long time. Installed the update to 26300.9278 today which went quickly. Don't notice any changes and everything works just as it did--thankfully! Figure it will be pushed as an...

GotNoRice replied to the thread Modem recommendation (2026).The upgrades to Mid-Split/High-Split are not simply the result of phasing-out DOCSIS 3.0. Those two things might be occurring at the same time with some ISPs but they are not directly related. Keep in mind that DOCSIS 3.1 is a standard that is...

GotNoRice replied to the thread Gaming hardware is impossible to afford.It's like trying to compare the price of an old bicycle vs a new car. Let's also not forget that in 1996, software acceleration that did not require a 3D accelerator at all was still available in every game.

GotNoRice replied to the thread Gaming hardware is impossible to afford.Those 3DFX cards were single-slot cards that didn't have external power connectors, and didn't even have heatsinks. They have more in common with modern-day soundcards than modern-day GPUs.

GotNoRice replied to the thread Windows 11 26H2."26H2" is the same codebase as "24H2" and "25H2"; with the shared code known internally at Microsoft as "Germanium". 26H1 is actually based on a newer version of the Windows code, called "Bromine". 26H1 was an early release of Bromine that was...

GotNoRice replied to the thread Gaming hardware is impossible to afford.I realize that a 5900X and DDR4 are not bleeding edge anymore but you are about a decade or two away from having to worry about "catastrophic failure" "due to the age of my rig". I still have a LOT of Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell...

The 64GB DDR5-6000 kit that cost me $210 in November 2024 now costing $1300 is not just inflation. If it was, our entire economy would be in shambles and we'd not be very worried about gaming PCs.

A ridiculously pointless metric. Flops per dollar always goes up as technology improves. As do the demands for resources and computing power. It's also a bad metric that works against you in the GPU market. We are getting less compared to the...

Talk about living in the past, only one crying is you on nostalgia apparently... Guess I should complain about how much my first 40GB harddrive cost, and my first CRT monitor and my first stick of ram for my PIII 533 CPU... The current pricing...

I guess that depends on your definition of "nice" A 9800X3D is over $400. That's nearly a quarter of the "nice PC budget of $2,000." A decent motherboard costs around $250 or so. 32GB of DDR5 RAM is around $400-500. It's about the same for a...
