    DDR 4 specs

    Building new PC with an ASUS B550M motherboard and AMD 5700G APU, no graphics card. I know these things like fast memory so I will likely use DDR4 3200 memory. At one time I knew what those timing numbers meant, but those brain cells have left the building. I know smaller is better. I am NOT...

    Front panel USB Type-C connector

    If this is in the wrong sub- forum, please move to the correct one. I am about to embark on a major upgrade on an old (circa 2007) HP desktop/tower. It currently has an ATX/mATX motherboard. The replacement will be a low/mid level motherboard with a AMD 5700G CPU utilizing the iGPU. The case...

    5700G max resolution @ 60 Hz

    Google can't find the answer • What is the maximum resolution of the 5700G @ 60 Hz ? • Is DisplayPort a function of the CPU/APU or the motherboard ?

    HP Pavilion TouchPad - No On/Off !

    I just recently purchased an HP Pavilion 15z-p200 running Windows 7. Nice machine, fast now that I swapped in a SSD ! There is no On/Off for the TouchPad. On most HP laptops, double tapping the "mark" on the top left of the TouchPad toggled the it On/Off, but that does not seem to work. Is...

    Why no tiny uATX enclosure (similar to HP Slimline) ?

    I like that ISK300 ! I was hoping to keep my old WD 3.5" 1TB. Sigh. Another external drive that will gather dust.

    Why no tiny uATX enclosure (similar to HP Slimline) ?

    Last couple of MoBo I purchased were ASUS, so I was leaning that way. Anyone have any specific +s or -s on any of those ?

    Why no tiny uATX enclosure (similar to HP Slimline) ?

    I have been tossing around building a new desktop system (current one is over 5 years old) but I want to go small, about the size of the HP Slimline cases. First, I really want to stay with an AMD chip with integrated graphics. More than enough for what I plan on doing. Second, for what ever...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I have done some cursory searches in this threads to see how many have swapped a totally different motherboard into a Slimline case, but have not found what I'm looking for. The title says it all. ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 in a Slimline case. The main issue is getting a powerful enough supply for an...

    SFF with ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3

    Those Silverstone case look nice, but I would like something smaller. The mobo I am looking at (ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3) is a mATX but I would be willing to go to a ITX if it had a socket for AM3+ bus CPU chip. 2 memory slots should be enough. As I said, I really like the size of the HP...

    SFF with ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3

    New to this forum, but I have built several PCs over the past 10-15 years. I also do "hardware" and software support for all of the PCs in my family as well as for a few friends. Add 30+ years of sys admining on many different systems, and I have had my hands inside of quite a few different...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    WOW ! Another "fire hose" of information, but ultimately very uses full ! These are a few HP mobo that fit the bill H-Alpinia-RS780L-uATX N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX Are there any significant differences in any of the s5000 case that would prevent you from swapping mobo from one case into another...
