Same problem here ... I'm not sure what it is but the AW3423DW makes me feel ever-so-slightly dizzy or out-of-focus. It's a difficult feeling to explain but I never had this problem with my other monitors. I feel like I'm also in the minority though. The HDR experience is truly next-level but...

That is also interesting... m.2 is a slot and not a socket. I suppose it could mean it's a proprietary socket they are using or they just made a typo on the website.

That's a good question. I'm assuming there will be a recovery mode if the device becomes corrupt but it's most definitely on a different partition of the SSD.

It looks like the Steam Deck website has been updated to include M.2 information but it's listed as "not intended for end-user replacement" https://www.steamdeck.com/en/tech

Has anybody created a dedicated Windows-based gaming console/machine? I'm aware of SteamOS which runs Linux (Debian) but it's limited in the number of games you can play so I'd like to focus on Windows (10). Does anybody have any tips for doing this? It looks like Windows 10 Enterprise has...

I'm selling excellent condition EdgeSwitch 48-port and 24-port POE switches and an EdgeRouter Pro. They have been used in a home environment (no smoking, no pets) in a server rack and have been working flawlessly. Instead of having two switches, I've upgraded to a single 48-port POE switch so...

I've heard of that but doesn't that just involve installing another piece of software? It seems like BIOS control would be the most accurate/stable? (ie. the external controller needs to poll the motherboard for CPU temperature, etc, instead of the BIOS directly reading the CPU and then...

I'm currently using an Intel 6700K with an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming. It supports ASUS Fan Xpert3 which is OK but it doesn't support fan hysterisis or delayed fan spin-up/spin-down. The other Z170 motherboards support it but not this one. I know I can install ASUS AI Suite but I'd rather not...

I'm looking to upgrade my OS drive SSD from 120 GB to around 250 GB and I noticed that my motherboard supports M.2 cards. (The motherboard is an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming) Is there a benefit to going with an M.2 drive versus SATA? Any recommendations for a 250 GB SSD drive? (only for OS; I have...

I've purchased an Acer X34 (ultrawide 21:9 monitor) and I absolutely love it except for the problems. (monitor keeps showing connected/disconnected even with different cables, large green line on the right hand of the screen but only sometimes, scanlines on the left of screen, etc) Anyways...

I have an Nvidia GTX 980 that I use 100% for video output. However, I might want to use Intel QuickSync in the future, so is it worth enabling the iGPU? Does it have any performance difference if I leave it enabled but don't connect any monitors to it? What is the recommended approach when...

Thanks for the reply! Pennsylvania (northeastern; USA) Both are fine ... Amazon is probably better since I have Prime though. Unfortunately I only have a Best Buy nearby. Rackmount would be preferred but depending on price I could also place it on the bottom floor of the rack. I'm running...

My home server rack has a built-in 220v power strip and most of the devices are running off of that. The main server also runs on 220v and has a 1000w PSU plus about 20 HDDs. I'm not sure on the power draw but it's probably significant. The other important hardware in my rack is my router...

I've been using ESXi for a long time but I'm looking to switch to ProxMox and use Linux Containers (LXC) for most of my applications. In my current system, I have a "Download VM" which runs Debian 8 and nzbget, sonarr, couchpotato, etc. I also have another VM running my media servers such as...

Well, I hope I made a good decision but I went with the EdgeSwitch 48 Lite. The Zyxel wasn't that much cheaper... Hopefully I made a good decision :)
