    Gigaplus 8-port 2.5G 2-port 10G switch $69

    I bought a pair of these a few years ago, really hard to get at the time due to the chip shortage and stuff, and they were $120 each. Nice switches but both power bricks failed after a year about a week apart. I ended up using some power bricks from some externals I shucked. Unit has a 2 year...

    SSD Health conflicting messages

    One of my drives was used for mining and wrote nearly a petabyte of data in a few days, that is why mine shows 56% life left. Is yours showing a really high total host writes?

    Any issues having front speakers having their own subwoofer connected through front speakers, in a 5.1 setup with 2 subs?

    Does your software look like this? If you change it to 2.0/2.1 Stereo Play some bass heavy music and go to this screen and just move the sub up and down and see if anything changes on your setup. It doesn't do anything on my setup since I have 2.1 but my sub runs between my speakers and is...

    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    not sure how harmful but it leaves a residue and smell on the parts. A fire in your house and your PC sucking up all the smoke and soot makes the PC really filthy though. this is a machine I sold to a friend who had a kitchen fire. I fully cleaned it and upgraded the coolers and fans,

    Can i smoke in the same room where is pc?

    Depending on how heavy you smoke and how ventilated the room is will determine how much nicotine will get stuck to the parts in the PC. I used to smoke in the garage for years with the ashtray in front of my PC and the inside of the PC wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and there are no...

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    I'd do it but if you live near a Microcenter, that means you would live 3 hours from me at least since that is the closest MC to me. Wha's the warranty on your board? 3 years? maybe send it in and have a spare if they do warranty it.

    X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero

    Try doing the BIOS update with the BIOS button on the back of the motherboard and see if it will eventually POST. Or try this, pull out the GPU, power on the system for a few minutes, power it down by holding the power button, unplug the power from the wall, hold down the power button for a few...

    I just moved the SSD from my nephews core2quad or core2duo setup into an i3 8100 system. Windows 10 booted up fine and just needed a couple of restarts to get all the drivers working. btw, Windows 7 was great at moving between completely different machines and booting up. only time you would...
