So it looks like my 7 year old Seagate Desktop External 4TB drive has started to seen better days. Unfortunately, it was my backup hard disk drive, I had it attached to an ASUS RT-AC87U. It had been giving me problems lately so I disconnected it and connected it directly to my computer, and it...

Fixed the OP to include all of the parts in my PC. The only thing missing is the eSata connector to which I don't even use anyways.

How good is PC Partpicker at with estimating the wattage you'll need for your PC? What I'm getting at is, I put all of my parts in, and it claims I'll need a PSU of just over 500 watts for my setup, and I have a 1000 PSU. I'm wanting to replace my GPU soon. Currently, I have a GTX 980, and I...

And of course, they skip the one gaming review I'm looking for, which is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for the 3080. Have you seen a review of the 3080 with that game (ok, "Simulator") ?

I have a Rampage V Extreme that I want to keep for awhile still, but upgrade my GTX 980 to the RTX 3080. It's got PCI-E 3.0, and obviously the 3080 is meant for PCI-E 4.0. I read somewhere there's literally a couple of percentage points difference (Gen 3 being lower). Have there been any...

I'm looking to plug my XBOX One into my Windows 10 machine. There are several reasons why I want to do this, rather than use the Windows 10 built-in XBOX One streaming app. That said, I figure this question applies to more than just gaming. From what I understand, an HDMI "Capture" card is...

Basically, I have more or less an HTPC. I'm going to be adding a storage drive to it, that is 8TB. This will be used to access HD TV content as well as other videos or pictures I'd like to upload. I own an InfiniTV6 ETH. If you're unfamiliar, basically you put a CableCard into this device...

Lets just say you're writing 100 GBs of data to a hard drive, or even accessing that much data from a hard drive. What does that translate to how much time it would take to write that amount of data on a drive running at 5900 RPMs vs 7200 RPMs? And again, would such thing as an interface (for...

What's the difference between a HDD with 5900 RPMs vs 7200 RPMs? Basically, my question is this. I've read somewhere that based n your connection interface, whether it's USB 2.0/3.0, SATA II/III, you may not be able to notice a difference in performance. Is such information accurate? I'm...

I had a thought. Considering that this case is heavy, plus the internal parts, what if I just went to a local mom and pop store and had them build me a dolly on small wheels with carpet or some rubber mat? I would leave the front open, but probably have some sort of lip along the 3 other sides...

What was the result using old mousepads?

Can you or someone show me an example?

Sorry to bump my old thread, but I had a question with respect to it. I'm still (when funds permit), looking into getting new fans for my computer case to lessen some of the noise from my PC. In a couple months, I may look into 6 Noctua ULN fans. I think they run at 650 RPMs, and that's...

Trying to...but now all the sudden getting an error when I attempt to load Battlefield 4. Odd, never happened before. Trying to troubleshoot it, now, then I'll get back to you. But, if you're curious, this is the error I'm getting:

How do I do that? Is it as simple as running the app while gaming, then rerunning the report?
