    Mobo pairing for CPU upgrade

    Looking at upgrading my AMD FX-8350 to a Ryzen 5-3600x and wanted suggestions for a motherboard to pair it with. I was looking at the ASUS X570-P Prime but wanted to poll the community. Thanks in advance. I mainly use my rig for gaming and working from home. - Windows 10 - GPU: EVGA GeForce...

    Random Power Loss

    No blown caps from what I can tell. I'm thinking its a CPU thermal issue, now. If I idle on the BIOS screen I can watch the CPU temp increase from 80 all the way up to about 103, then it loses power. The issue got worse when I blew out the radiator and fan for my Corsair H90 CPU liquid...

    A whole new world

    I've tried peeking in this audio forum before, but I was too timid to ask wtf was going on. There's so much to take in. Can someone point me in the direction (or give me a basic run down) of a place to start with all of this stuff? What are all of these components in these pictures and...

    Wireless best practices

    I have an Asus RT-N66U router and have been a little disappointed with the wireless performance. I use it for several wireless devices as well as streaming media to a Roku and Chromecast wirelessly. Does anyone have a best practices guide or suggestions for a setup like this?

    Enable SSID Broadcast, or not?

    Dyne is right. It's just more of a preference now a day. Anyone trying to do something malicious will be using something like inssider anyway to find their targets, so you don't gain much there. Since you mentioned 'guests' I'd tell you to just leave it on so you won't have to spell it out for...

    Win7 Machines Losing IPs

    Just relocated a handful of users' machines. Static IPs are set. After a reboot, the IP and netmask are gone. The gateway and 2 dns entries remain. Any idea why this is happening? All windows 7 boxes. All on same domain. All have legit IPs. When I set manually and connect, no conflict...
