    Can I get some upgrade recommendations? Board, CPU, RAM, Cooler

    Don't care which, I just want something that will last a few years without needing a serious upgrade. I *think* my Win10 key is retail but I'll have to check. Worst case, I can probably get my hands on Win10 or Win11 no problem.

    Can I get some upgrade recommendations? Board, CPU, RAM, Cooler

    So long story short, I'm running quite the antiquated system that just called it quits today. The newest addition to it is a GTX 1070 I bought back in 2016, while everything else is probably encroaching on the ten year mark based on my order history at NewEgg. As the subject says, I'm looking...

    Looking for a subwoofer or amplifier to complete setup

    Yeah, that's way outside my price range. Not that the interest isn't there mind you, but I'd feel a little out of sorts pairing a $900 subwoofer to $120 speakers. I was strongly considering that Monoprice sub. Still am. That board though does look like it'd fit the bill. How would I go...

    Looking for a subwoofer or amplifier to complete setup

    So I recently purchased a set of Edifier R1280Ts, and as it has a sub out, I am interested in hooking this up to my sub. The issue? I think I need a powered sub amplifier and I have no idea what ones are good. Long story short: I have the subwoofer from my previous Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. The...

    What made you switch?

    So straight to the point: what made you switch? From Android to iOS or vice versa. I'd genuinely like to know. Storytime: As much as I hate to admit it, I don't look forward to owning a new Android phone as much as I used to in days past. Currently have a Pixel 4 XL. I'm content with it, but I...

    An [H]-like site for laptops?

    Sorry if this question has been asked before. Nothing relevant came up in the searches I did. Is there any site that really puts laptops through the gauntlet like [H] did? There's a couple sites I did find but the articles are frustrating to read. There's really no set way they review the...

    NVIDIA Bans Reviewer for Concentrating on Rasterization Instead of Ray Tracing

    They're probably cooking that plan up as we speak, if they aren't already quietly rolling it out.

    NVIDIA Bans Reviewer for Concentrating on Rasterization Instead of Ray Tracing

    Because loyalists will always apologize for a company that couldn't care less about them as long as they keep feeding them money. All of the features were reviewed. Nvidia got their panties in a twist for being called out on their shortcomings. They don't like to be seen as anything but the...

    NVIDIA Bans Reviewer for Concentrating on Rasterization Instead of Ray Tracing

    Nvidia just makes it easier for me to buy an AMD product every time they do something like this. I get that free hardware to be reviewed is a privilege. However, I think it's unreasonable to request a skewed/favorable review in exchange, especially for something as niche as this, and especially...

    iPhone upgrading questions (Sprint/T-Mobile)

    I'm on Sprint. Been one for about 15 years or so now. My wife is an iPhone user and currently has the iPhone X. She's looking to upgrade to a new iPhone due to the battery finally showing its age, but before we make that move, she wants me to look into something regarding voicemail. Back in...

    MSI Bullies Small YouTuber To Pull Bad Review

    MSI already burned me with a laptop I bought for my wife so she could play games. The connector on the back for the power brick has a super shoddy connection to the board, so it doesn't always charge unless the cable is held *just* right, and eventually once you hit that point, it stops charging...

    Multiple platform racing wheel recommendations?

    Wound up getting it all from Dell. I was literally a second too late for the TMX on Amazon when it listed for $178. Oddly enough I forgot about that. Didn't think there'd be such a huge jump in demand on a niche accessory, though. If I were more dedicated to driving simulators I'd do that...

    Multiple platform racing wheel recommendations?

    Apparently the G920 has gone the way of the dodo already. I can't find anybody selling it close to its $399 MSRP. Price gouging starts at $650. Edit: There are some on eBay but even then the pricing is up there. Ugh.

    Multiple platform racing wheel recommendations?

    I'm in the market for a racing wheel. Looking for something with 3 pedals and can do PC and XB1 at the very least. I don't need next best thing to driving the real deal, but I'd at least like something worth the bells and whistles and reasonably close. Primarily going to use this for...

    Netgear R7000 going bad?

    So the tech swung by today, and after going over everything I did, he decided to check the outside lines since I ruled out everything up to the splitter. The cable going from the pole to my house was pretty damaged. The insulation was torn up and the aluminum shielding was torn apart on the...
