I wanted to TRIM my SSD's, as I just removed a lot of old junk, installed some new games, new game mods, and in general, moved stuff around.
I went to my drives, and right clicked my windows drive, and the System Properties popped up, instead of the smaller multi-tabbed drive properties window...
So, after waiting for too long for graphics card prices to become reasonable, I've given up on upgrading my GPU for the time being, and have decided to focus on other components that are affordable right now.
So, quick info: I've got a slightly older PC, i5 4440 no OC, 32GB of DDR3, GTX 980...
I got an unpowered USB to SATA adapter. It uses the USB header to power the adapter and the drive, so it's awesome for laptop drives and SSD's, but it's worthless for full size HDD's.
Get a toaster. When you aren't using the drives, put them in anti-static bags and put them in your fireproof...
I've got some EIDE Seagate drives that still work.
But, being honest, when I moved from spinny metal to SSD's, I stopped using Seagate.
Personally, I pick a drive based on the controller manufacturer, instead of who's label is on the drive. But, I bought a 3TB HDD a year ago, it's a Seagate...
After many hours of playing with mods, my time playing FO4 is over.
Every time there's a patch, it breaks so much crap, and then I have to wait sometimes weeks for mods to update, and even after they update, my save is corrupted or has errors in it, and it makes it nearly unplayable.
So, I...
I tried playing EVE online, but I keep getting oneshot in high sec, and my JF's out of jump fuel, so screw it. I'm playing a minesweeper drinking game.
Every time I find a mine, I take a shot.
I expect to be dead by morning.
I have an ancient programmable 10-key addon module. I used it as a game pad, or tried to, since it doesn't do key repeat. I did set it up for basic stuff in FS X before I got an actual gamepad. Then I got a HOTAS setup...
Anyway. It's a 10-key addon module that has a PS2 passthrough. Since my...
Some of the K70's use the second USB plug for the RGB or extra power if you're still using USB 2, and can be used with just the main data plug if it's USB 3.
I have an older K70 with a pass through, and a newer one without.
Personally, I only need one USB plug on my PC, since I'm using a hub...
This thread is totally wrong.
It should be 'why do manufacturers release so many motherboards, and they still can't make one with the exact features I want?'
I remember when Flight Simulator X came out. It was super awesome. But no matter what, there wasn't a computer that could play the game on high settings with a reasonable frame rate. Low or medium settings with lots of graphics options turned off gave decent performance. You could buy a $10,000...

I think I'm going to build a mini atx Ryzen 3 system to replace the Dell. Picking out parts already... All I need is the board, CPU, RAM, and a case. I even would have use for the two fans I bought.
I think I figured it out.
So, I'll start by addressing SamirD... I found the Dell replacement fan, from Dell, for $30ish. The problem is that the Dell fan is a sleeve bearing, and I'd rather not waste money on a fan that has a limited lifespan.
As for the fan itself, the fan I bought is a...
So, I got an Optiplex 790 a while back, and the hard drive fan promptly died.
I bought a new fan, my mistake, I got a 70mm instead of 80mm. It didn't fit, and it came from China, so no way to return it...
I bought a new fan, an 80mm 4 pin, and was just going to wire it in.
Hooked it up...
