    What Z690 board are you eyeing?

    Yeah, 3 gens ago, nevertheless it sucked back then and they still try to compete with the other two brands and ASUS is still on top and best of the other two (somewhat) good brands, that would be MSI and ASRock, but Gigasucks? Never, Any news on how great of an overclocker is the gigasucks...

    New PSU suggestion

    That is NEVER the case, and case in point here: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/corsair-issues-hx1200-hx1200i-psu-recall Even reputable vendors can have quality issues sometimes, more than one has in the past. Upon some reading I found this: "There is however a benefit that one of them...

    New PSU suggestion

    Well, seems like the other ones are built by CTW also. But I guess I got confused with the reviews and thought seeing Seasonic making it for them, guess not. I'm gonna have to open my Seasonic 550W and see how different is from the Corsair 2018 and 2021 editions. Although I will say, if you're...

    My PC randomly shuts off when idle (solved)

    I had that issue, but it was the power supply overheating, so I decided to turn the fan back on via the software (on the PSU that is) and it has worked fine ever since. I thought it was my video card but that wasn't......personally I don't like them "fanless" PSU and if you have one where you...

    EVGA Supernova 650 G3 fan noise and Eco mode

    Warranty discrepancies? No problem then, open it and replace the fan, just make sure you wear rubber gloves and install a high-quality fan. Otherwise, get a Corsair, but the G3 are not as good as the G2, which I learned long ago.

    New PSU suggestion

    I don't know what "recent" is to you but for me, I got the RM750X from 2018 and the RM750X 2021 and I checked the insides of both and there isn't any difference other than where the connectors in the back are for the SATA, the rest is the same and also same goes for the cables, in-line...

    Possible to Restore Oxidized Front Mesh?

    Next time use alcohol to clean up............just make sure it's not whiskey or bourbon. For right now, use sandpaper and repaint. Just make sure you don't go to the beach and grab a bunch of sand and rub it with that day's newspaper, those are two different things. You can buy "sandpaper" at...

    How to remove these screws?

    You can drill them out, but if you'd need to reattach the part to the case again, buy a kit of 6-32 screws/nuts and reattach, also may have to paint the screws to match. Rather than buying a ratchet and pins, which is more expensive, cut the screws down to size.

    Will never buy an Intel CPU again.

    4K euros? That's like what? 10K Mexican Pesos and about 2,000 Canadian Pesos or probably equal to $900 Australian Pesos, or close to 2 million Vietnamese Dongs, but most important, that's about $500 U.S. Dollars, yeah! Sounds like a lot of Rupees to me.

    New PSU suggestion

    Wait......ain't Corsair and eVGA resource to SeaSonic for their PSU? I have several Corsair and one eVGA and one SeaSonic and all pretty much have the same cable system and in those reviews with the Johny Guru dude it seems like he mentioned that Corsair sells them under their name but are...

    What Z690 board are you eyeing?

    There ya go........listen to what he says and the title of the BIOS: And pay close attention to 12:25 Gigasucks motherboards are perfectly fine for NON-K CPUs and if you put in a K, overclocking is futile. Yes, who wants that? The ones who want "perfectly fine" products.

    Retailers already increasing pricing on GeForce RTX 3060 before it is even released

    Did everybody miss this part: "European retailers are now listing GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards at 490 EUR". I'm glad we have "Newegg" here in the U.S., from my experience I've never paid more than the MSRP there. And if you had? Well! You should've known better.

    NVIDIA is now resupplying 4-year old GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Pascal GPUs to AIBs

    Imagine that! Not a single comma in that sentence. What is worse? Some adults are "big" gamers? And aren't updates part of owning a console then? Even cars need an oil change every XXXX miles. Maintenance is a part of everything. AIB is an acronym for Add In Board as used within the video card...

    What temp improvement should I expect going from 360mm AIO to a custom loop for 5950x?

    Depends.......what DO you expect? And if you're willing to shell out a bunch of cash and time to build one. I have a 9900KF that runs at 83c full load 1.335v @ 5.2GHz, am I happy? Yes. Am I happy I paid so much damn money on the loop? No! If it had hit 5.0GHz and used a Dark Rock Pro 4...

    Beware selling to user Rectangle

    In this day in age, opening any electronics and swapping the insides of it, it's extremely easy. I've done it before, when my case broke (Samsung 10.1 pad), so I bought the casing from China and got all the tools needed for it and swapped it. Like new again.

    excuse me...n00b here...school me on SSD

    Well, in mechanical drives, the larger (in terms of storage capacity) the drive then the thicker because that drive will have more platters. For example, a 250GB will not have as many platters as a 750GB, that's what makes it thicker. For laptops, manufacturers make a certain dimension for...

    excuse me...n00b here...school me on SSD

    $150 for a 500GB? Certainly wasn't when I was buying one, instead I bought a Mushkin Reactor 512GB for $164.99 and a $30 free card for some game that I won't be playing, just like I lost the Batman game code. If they have a 500GB for $150? Then it's a great buy.

    QX6700 would this outperform a standard quad cpu?

    I don't see the point in going from Conroe to Conroe. Sure, you want the system to last a little more but regardless what Quad Proc you use, you won't see that much of an improvement. In 2008 I switched my E6600 for a Q6600 and didn't notice that much difference in performance, except my...

    Old PSU, 750W PCP&C (9 y/o) and New Hardware (4690K-Z97 Pro-8GB 2400)
