    Need advice on powering a higher end gpu in a hp elitedesk 800 g3 sff

    I recently picked up an hp elitedesk 800 g3 sff. It has an i7-7700, 16gb of DDR4 ram, a 180watt psu (*note the psus in these units are proprietary) and I replaced the smaller ssd that came in it with a new crucial 500gb nvme ssd. I also added an evga gt 1030 gpu (the newer variant with ddr5.)...

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    Sorry I thought I responded to you before - I checked the link you posted earlier but it was already over / expired. I looked up ruckus 610 online and they go for like $300 (new)

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    Thank you. It's interesting, but at $180-$300 for the netgate device, plus still having to buy an access point to give it wifi capability, that becomes quite expensive. I wonder if one could run pfsense on a raspberry pi device...

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    It's 500/500 currently. I may get 1gb eventually but that is not currently available as they need to do some upgrades to accommodate the massive increase in demand for it in my area. So, plugged right in I get 500 up and down (actually hilariously a little OVER 500.) But on wifi in the same...

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    I can't run cat5 unfortunately... doesn't an access point need to be wired in? Or am I being dumb. The only cat5 is between the fiber box (ONT) and the modem, can't run cat5 into the other rooms where wifi is needed / used.

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    Yes - and the reviews on that are pretty scary. The first several I saw when I scrolled down were all 1 star horror stories. Also, what makes that better than say this one which is $169...

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    That does raise a valid point lol... I am definitely not dropping $500 on a router!!! I would say anything over $200 is insane.

    Seeking router recommendation - just got fiber, have significantly lower speed over wifi

    Hi, I just switched from cable to fiber for internet. I am getting excellent speed when plugged directly into the router (it's some Arris piece of ****) but when I connect devices to it via wifi, they get a decent amount less, especially if they are any distance from the router (like in a room...

    Where to source economical but reliable small LCD or similar display screens? (for example to pair with a raspberry pi for custom projects)

    Wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction. I'm considering a small custom project with a raspberry pi, (probably we all get these ideas a lot!) but what often holds me back is the need for a cheap, small display. I have looked into it a bit, but this is kind of new territory...

    Please help me diagnose an issue with my Sager NP8278-S

    Thank you all! So generally it seems like the video card is the culprit. Could that explain why the win10 upgrade is failing? That EuroCom link is great but wowwww they're expensive!! $5-600 for a gpu that is ~6 years old now...? And if you want a new hsf to go with it, that's another...

    Please help me diagnose an issue with my Sager NP8278-S

    ***I really appreciate any advice/assistance you can offer me*** I have a Sager NP8278-S (Clevo P170SM-A) which I purchased from XoticPC several years ago. I love the laptop and have never had any major issues with it (aside from the battery dying, which is to be expected after 5-6 years!)...

    Can you help me with scripting to identify duplicate filenames in 3 folders?

    I have 3 folders, with a ton of PDF files in each. We need to try to create a file / list of duplicates. (Assume duplicate filename = duplicate, don't need to examine the inside of the documents.) I did some searching and found the following suggestion was given to someone else on...

    Trying to compare 2 PDFs, all tools find no differences... need help

    I am trying to compare 2 PDF documents - which are about 95% the same but there are a few changes here and there, and I really need to find them. The documents are just text, no tables or images or other crap that could be interfering with this. I have tried a few different programs including...

    Where do you buy smartphones now, and how is the BlackBerry Priv?

    Definitely only considering brand new devices.

    What 2016 phones are you looking forward too ?

    You guys saying there is no more input lag are unfortunately wrong. My last 3 phones have all had this issue. I currently have a Motorola Turbo (the first one) and before that I had a Samsung G4 and before that I think another Samsung, maybe G2? In any case, with all 3 of these phones, the first...
