    WTB: Cheap reasonably fast DDR4 kit (32GB, dual or quad channel)

    4x8GB or 8x4GB, whichever I can get faster/cheaper... so probably 8x4GB. Please don't bother asking for new prices, I had to trade a really nice monitor for the X99 setup I'm trying to get together now, so I'm far from made of money at the moment. The RAM I'm using currently is ~$65 for a 8GB...

    WTT: Dell U3415W 34" 21:9 3440x1440 widescreen for i7 6xxx / 7xxx + board + RAM

    As the title states. Still under warranty for ~1.5 years, transferable to new owner, extendable via Dell. Great display, just don't have need for it any more as I don't have a desk at my new place and am using a TV as a monitor. 3440x1440, 60Hz, Displayport and HDMI in, built in KVM...

    [H] Destiny PS4 LFG / Raid parties.

    Not sure if we already have one of these -- if so, redirect me. I'm level 40, never raided or run anything that didn't match make before. Not saying I'm good (I'm not) but I have a solid mic and headset, and I listen reasonably well when I'm not drunk and going full Leeroy Jenkins. Any fellow...

    Gear VR: Intriguing, exciting, disappointing, expensive, immature?

    Click-bait title, maybe, but it's how I'm feeling after about 2 hours screwing around with a Samsung Gear VR and a Galaxy S7 Edge. Mind you this is the original model which I found on clearance locally for $25; at that price I figured why not? The S7 Edge isn't on the officially supported list...

    FS: Planar PX2611w 26" 1920x1200 16:10, Dell U3415W curved 34" 3440x1440, more to come

    No reasonable offer refused. I need these sold, ASAP. Please help. All items shipping from Summerville, SC. Heatware under silent-circuit, same as here, all positive. Pictures should be up in the next couple days; I just recently moved and some things are still at my old place. Prices are OBO...

    Long run (~20ft) HDMI cable for 4K 4:4:4 60Hz 8 bit color

    As the title states. Just moved, now I've got a roughly 15ft wide room with my computer desk in one corner and my 4K TV / sometimes gaming monitor on the wall opposite roughly centered. I'd like to be able to run a cable from the PC at the desk to the TV rather than moving it when I want to...

    980ti SLI vs. single 1080ti

    Seriously considering selling my cards while they're still worth something and picking up a 1080ti. Am I looking at roughly the same performance? Better? Worse?

    Hoping this works... Monoprice Blackbird Pro Automatic HDMI switch with KU6290

    Just ordered one of these https://www.monoprice.com/mobile/product/details/15261?maincategoryid=101&categoryid=10110&subcategoryid=1011002&cpncd= to take care of switching between a PS4 (likely soon to be a Pro) and my PC, since the Samsung KU6290 I'm using as a monitor only has "UHD Color"...

    Razer Barracuda headset

    I have a Barracuda sound card and am curious to see what the "full experience" was supposed to be like back in the day. If you have the headset in fairly good condition let me know. Not looking to spend at lot but I'm somewhat flexible on price I'll let this run a full week regardless of...

    Best budget ~40" 4K TV with HDR as monitor

    As the title states, I'm looking for a reasonably priced 4K TV with good HDR support (not tacked on afterthought barely working type stuff) for use as a PC monitor and console display. Don't really care about smart features / apps since it will always have my desktop and a PS4 Pro connected to...

    WTB: Razer Barracuda sound card HD-DAI breakout cable

    Looks like a squid with a male DVI-ish plug on one end, is useless to you if you don't use this card anymore. I'll give you $10 shipped to 29466 in a padded envelope for it. Heat same name as here, all positive. Yes, I know this is a long shot. Not sure there are any of these around any more.

    Geforce Experience doesn't like to download drivers for me.

    I'd say about 1 out of 4 releases it'll actually download/install, the others it'll show download progress, finish, then immediately act like it never downloaded and show the download button again. WTF Nvidia. Windows 10 64bit, Geforce Experience 3.1.0.44 (To be clear, downloading the new...

    WTB Razer Barracuda AC-1 breakout cable

    I got one of these cards a couple years ago for dirt cheap. Driver support is terrible out of the box, but after some extensive screwing around it's possible to get ASUS Xonar drivers to work on it, since they use the same chipset. After managing this I really enjoyed it. Sadly the little...

    980Ti SLI OCing -- general questions, VBIOS flashing help

    Right, so with my new big bad PSU I've decided to try and push my cards past their just-barely-OCed stock form. This is a pair of Zotac AMP! (not AMP! Extreme) edition cards. Model number ZT-90503-10P. Reference PCB in so far as I know, with 3 fan coolers. I'd like to hit the magic 1500Mhz on...

    Finished Witcher 3, went back to play earlier games... lower FPS?

    As the title says, I just finished The Witcher 3, and while waiting for Blood and Wine figured I'd go back and try the earlier games in the series I could never get in to before since they were in my Steam library. Figured, since I kind of know the characters now I'd be more invested and curious...

    WTB: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB SSD

    Needs to be in good working condition, planning on putting it in a RAID 0 array with my current drive. It's an old drive, from a defunct company no longer offering warranty service, and I'm not looking to spend a lot. I'm also not looking to inherit someone else's problems. Let me know what...

    FS: Silverstone FT02BW full tower case - $85 + shipping, or local pickup (29803)

    Selling my Silverstone FT02, the black variant with a side window. This is the newer version with USB 3.0 ports on the top panel. $85 + actual cost of shipping. Price is firm. Kills me (I think I paid $250 back when? Maybe more?), but someone else here is selling theirs for $90, so... I'll get...

    WTT: Martin Logan Mikros 90 on-ear headphones for....?

    Had these for about a year, light use and always kept in the case. Case has a couple nicks, but the headphones are in excellent condition, no scratches or anything. They'll come with a red and black braided Pipeline cable; don't know if I still have the original cable, will look. Still have the...

    WTB: HIEN Hard L mouse pad (prefer black or navy)

    These things are really tough to find any more, it would seem. Sadly mine got messed up (it was in the trunk of my car and a big jug of ATF leaked all over it. Fun times.) so I need a replacement. I'd prefer navy blue or black, but red is okay too. Will also entertain other colors, since I know...

    Connectify (wifi/wired routing/bridging/repeater software for Windows)

    So this is probably going to read like an advertisement for these guys, but it honestly isn't. After a week or more researching on my own and asking here and elsewhere for a solution it's just proven to be that good, that easy. I'll give some background, so it'll be more clear why I'm so...

    Best inexpensive fairly quick 5+" android phone for VZW

    So my LG G3 is no more, it refuses to do... anything. I have no idea why, since it was fine last night when I went to sleep and put it on the charger. Multiple battery pulls and hours of trying different chargers just in case one proved to be "magic" later, I've pretty much given up on it. Just...

    using a WRT54G running DDWRT as a bridge... of sorts

    Basically, I have a laptop connected to my neighbor's wifi (long story, but I have their permission -- ISP will have to bury a new cable so I'm looking at 3+ weeks for them to get out here and Verizon mobile broadband would cost a fortune for that time) and an old router here. I want to use the...

    ALFA AWUS051NH v2 won't capture handshakes in Kali Linux / wifite

    Bought this on a whim after spending the better part of a night a few days back learning about wifi penetration testing / WPA2 / WPS attacks and having all kinds of trouble with my current adapters. Sadly, since getting it earlier today it's just more of the same. I know the basics of how to...

    Best current TIM?

    I don't even know what's on my chip right now (used what was laying around and forgot), and I might be getting a new chip soon.... Is Shin-Etsu X23 still the best? (as of 2, 3, 4 years ago? Whenever I last looked?) Doing my own research given I'm not seeing any super-recent threads on the topic...

    WTB: 3770K

    It's my understanding that this is the fastest chip that came out compatible with the Z77 platform. I'm considering an upgrade, but don't want to sprint for a 6600K, Z170, DDR4 and the whole deal. This is pretty much just me putting out feelers -- what does one of these run used, lately...

    Smallest ATX case that will fit 2 315mm graphics cards

    Hey -- I've been looking for a smaller case, something more compact than my FT02. I don't use any of the 5.25" bays in front and only have a couple 3.5" and 2.5" drives. Might add another 3.5", but that's not a big deal. So, what I'm looking for is the smallest possible case in terms of volume...

    WTB Nvidia Shield Tablet

    Don't care if it's the original or the "new" K1 variant, not concerned with internal memory, just looking to get it under retail cost, ideally well under $200. Needs to be in good shape -- a few light scratches on the back is fine, but gouges or screen damage is not. Willing to entertain bundles...

    2500K / Z77 OC help

    Dell UltraSharp U3415W Curved 34" IPS 21:9 3440 x 1440 monitor -- Impressions

    I'll go ahead and get it out of the way -- over all, I'm very happy with this thing. After going through 4 different 40 and 43" 4K TVs under $1000 trying to find a good PC monitor and having to give up on each for a different reason (firmware issues, blurring, input lag, bad black levels, etc)...

    WinSxS cleanup on new Windows 10 install before imaging

    So after some looking around I determined it would probably be worth it to try and shrink the WinSxS directory on this new Windows 10 install before imaging it, as it's roughly 1/2 the data on the drive right now (and that's real size, not including hard-links). Looked around and found this...

I'm planning on going to see for myself at some time tomorrow if I get the courage up, but otherwise I think buying used is my best...

    Samsung 40" JU6500 too blurry...

    Initially I thought I could handle it, but the longer I mess around with the 40" Samsung JU6500 TV I got for a monitor (having tried models from Sharp, Sony, and Vizio previously) I just can't handle the blur.

    Z170: Why no 16x/16x PCIe 3.0?

    So I have recently started looking in to the Z170 chipset and various boards available in preparation for a potential switch to Skylake in a month or two, but I'm confused and frustrated by at least one decision Intel seems to have made re: this setup. Z170 provides 20 PCIe lanes per this...

    HDMI cables, 4K, and frustration

    I'm lead to believe that some of the issues I'm having with my current display, a 43" Sony X830C 4K TV, may be due to bad HDMI cables. I only have 2 cables to try, both of which are off-brand (I think one is a Monoprice, an older one, and one is a "Dreamgear" or something). I'm willing to try a...
