    Windows 11 hanging

    I think it's the folding@home running in background. Guess my PC is a step down from what I had before (Windows 10 on HP Z420 Xeon with 32gb RAM). Didn't have any issue before on that pc

    Windows 11 hanging

    Does anyone else have windows 11 hang, especially on some programs, every once in a while. Didn't have this issue with Windows 10

    f@h automatic core usage?

    I feel that years ago, the f@h client could automatically reduce the core usage to a set level when PC was not in idle. Does the idle setting on the new web-client completely turn off the folding?

    Microsoft makes new attempt to block bypassnro in beta Win 11 build.

    How is the bypassnro method different than installing with MS account and then logging out and making the machine a offline local account only?

    Deleted posts are not helpful

    I think locking keeps people from necro'ing really old posts. But it's true that it's so hard to get information sometimes and now many things are on videos which is more time consuming to find out something. Every good thing comes to an end, even Reddit or [H]

    First time AiO Liquid cooler (fan coolers, & fans) recommendations - Build Help

    Thermalright peerless assassin air-cooler seems to be a good budget cooler that I have seen recommended. Regarding adding case fans, maybe stick to the same brand already in your case. Different brands have different flow rate. Maybe that will cause turbulence in the case?

    Budget workstation build ideas?

    I'm thinking to get the i7 12700k. I am looking for motherboard options. What do you think of the Gigabyte B760M DS3H? I think it has most of the features. Reviews I read mention something about throttling due to heat. Is that something I should worry about. Part of my workflow is occasionally...

    Budget workstation build ideas?

    Yes, I do have a GT1030 gfx card that I plan to use and 32GB RAM. Sorry if I made it seem like I was doing heavy computing. I do want to use some cycles to run Folding@home. It's really confusing to compare the CPUs and their naming. What do you think of the following CPU ranging in price from...

    Hi all, I'm currently on an HP z420 workstation (Xeon E5-1620 with 32 GB ram) and thinking of building a new PC. Its for office work, some small graphics and video editing. What should I look for with CPU, motherboard, and ram? I have a separate videocard (Nvidia GT1030) and PSU and case...

    Age old question: Seagate or WD? help

    Thanks for the advice. I just want to clarify that I feel that consumer products are only what I need. I know enterprise/server hardware is more safe but I doubt its needed for my use. After all, these companies supply consumer-grade hardware that most people use without much complaint. Thanks...

    New GPU now or wait till year end

    Hi all, I'm wondering if the prices have stabilized for video cards? It used to be very expensive last 2 years. I'm also on a budget, maximum I can go around $250 and the unit has to last minimum 5 years. I don't need big power. Don't really play latest gpu-intensive games. But I do want to use...
