I picked up a corsair RM850e and I realized it only has 1 x 8pin and 1 x (6+2)+(6+2) The asrock 7900 xtx phantom needs 3x 8 pin connections as it requires over 300 watts 1x 8pin = 150 does the cable with 2x (6+2) carry a total of 150 watts or 300?

I have not built a PC in 5 years and I admit, I have not kept up with the trends. My 8600k has served me well, but my second hand 1080 ti is showing its age and Im told upgraded to a new GPU would not be worth it due to CPU bottleneck. This is my basic (Canadian) thoughts so far, minus a GPU...

I have been using the Corsair M65 for years....ever since the first iteration came out, I got it right away and loved it. Aluminum body with no bullshit. Smart layout. But over those years, I have owned 4 of them, and none of them lasting more than 2 years. Even with regular cleaning, the...

I currently have an edgerouter X, and running a Ubiquiti UniFi UAP AC Long Range (UAP-AC-LR). I have some significant deadzones in my house. I admit I don't know much about networking. Can I add another UniFi AP and have it work like a MESH? same SSID? or am I better off just getting...

I run into this problem of terabytes of photos from the past decade and its all a giant mess of unorganized folders, duplicates and other nonsense. Is there anything out there that can manage a massive library, including sorting and reorganizing the folders?

Im sure this is in the wrong place, but Im fiddling with Displayfusion for my screens. I have a 35" ultrawide, a 27" side, and a 29" ultrawide up above my main. What Im aiming to do is make steam chat messages popup on a specific screen, as currently anytime I get a new incoming steam...

nearly a decade ago I picked up a bunch of those korean 1440 screens, and I still love them. But They are showing their age and Im getting brutal tearing in games. 60hz if im lucky. I saw some other threads where people asked the same thing, and others gave sites like 144hzmonitors.com, but...

My second Corsair M65 in 3 years has died. I’m looking for a high end, top end mouse. I love the M65, but Corsair quality seems to be really, really bad these days and I didn’t keep the receipt. $200 or less. What’s the best of the best these days?

Im building a 8700k system and am stuck on what mobo to choose. Its been so long since I built a PC, I have this fear Ill buy a mobo and miss some feature like "dude, u buy shit mobo with bad power and cant do moonwalk". So Im looking for a good Z370 on the medium to high end $200-$260 cdn...

I have a 6s and I hate everything about it. But that's not my issue right now. So anytime I use any wifi Hotspot, it's always a struggle to bring up the TOS login page. I usually have to connect, forget the network and try again. Anyways, once I spend 5m connecting, if I close my screen...

I have run into a situation where I am trying to move a massive amount of photos(4TB, many million files), and my method of copy and paste seems to chug along very slow. Even the analyzing process is slow. Like if I copy movies to a USB drive, if I copy and move 3 at a time, its slower than...

My wife takes a lot pf photos, and her Galaxy S5 usually fills to capacity every few weeks. For some reason, uploading to my PC for backup is always a struggle. Even on USB3.0, trying to copy over the DICM folder with 10,000 files can occasionally crash explorer and nuke the USB connection...

I have a 29 inch philips 2560x1080 ultrawide, but I find 1080 to be too low for me and I usually end up gaming on my 2560x1440 27 inch. I see the 3440x1440 ultrawides seem to be popular but all I see is the curved screens that seem to cost a fortune. Is there a decent priced non-curved...

I havent kept up to date with headphones, but after just one year my sennheiser PC350 have gone to shit. The gloss faux leather coating on the foam has started to peel and roll back.....the under side is sticky like glue, so wearing them basically glues them to my head/hair. I really enjoyed...

I got a new job and they offered to get me a new iPhone. I was on an old htc one that was having battery issues (would discharge 80% battery in 5min and would literally burn your skin) I figured I wasn't married to anything on Android so I said sure to a new 6s In general I hate ios....the...

I have a E4200 router and I struggle to stream video to the top floor of my house. I know tomato can help reach the routers potential. So I figured Id try this tomato I keep hearing about....and then I see there are a dozen types of tomato. Any advice on where to start?

Quick question regarding windows 10 and network accounts. I have a lenovo NAS and Im setting up my copy jobs. the nas requires my PC's username and password to access to folder i want to copy. On windows 7, this was the user account for the PC, but with windows 10, this is now the microsoft...

Im wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have a decent collection of videos on my server of around 10TB. Each video is in its own folder, spread out among a handful of drives. finding specific videos has proven to be very time consuming. What I need is something that can sort...

I haven't seen any threads on it, but is anyone else pumped for this game? Release is on the 29th and its already up on steam. I loved cities xl. A far superior game vs the new simcity in every way Unfortunately it was only good for single core and had memory issues. The past 2...

I was stupidly browsing crapstarter and spotted this. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jetpack/g-pack-the-high-performance-stealth-gaming-machinepopular To be honest, I think its a great idea. The prices for the configs are not that terrible for pre built systems, no worse than...

I'm not surprised because it's EA, but this is nhl 13 ported to the next gen. Visually it looks and feels old. Loading times are still slow. Game play remains completely the same. Zero effort by EA.

My PS4 is collecting dust, and my launch 40GB PS3 keeps filling up. I think its about time I put a new drive in my PS3 When I looked around I found most people recommend the hybrid drives. My question is what one is better? My local retailer carries a few of he segates, but Im having...

I have a habit of saving photos i like, be it from here, forums, or image boards. What Im left with is a massive folder with an insane collection of everything. Im wondering, is there any software that I can use to auto sort it? Lets say I have a folder with thousands of images: cartoons...

With GTA V and nhl14 on my game list after my ps3 being basically a media server for the St few years, I'm hating the load times. In the past a ssd was an upgrade, but I hear things about trim support and such that I don't know anything about. Can anyone recommend a current ssd for ps3...

I have 16GB of corsair vengeance ram in my PC(details in sig) recently, after a year of excellent reliability I have been getting BSOD. It was once a week, then a few times and day and now its constant. I ran memtest and right away it went red with errors. I reset my bios, set all my...

I have one of the early shimian 1440 displays, well i had two but one died and its not possible to get a matching one(the first tempered glass version has been DCed). So im considering a change. I enjoy my current screen, but I wouldnt mind something with a better refresh rate/lag and even...

I found a bunch of videos on swirling, and it seems to be used for guitars most, but I saw a 360 shell and it looks like an easy and cheap effect. Has anyone seen it on a PC tower? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmSV2l6JFt0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ4UOq6nl_w its just a mix of...

Im sure this has been asked lots, and looking at the previous threads, as usual I am overwhelmed. I need more storage, but to be honest I am out of USB and sata ports and drive bays. I do have a old Q6600 PC thats collecting dust. I assume I can drop a bunch of my old WD green...

I picked up the sennheiser PC 350 today and right away noticed crackling. Im just using my onboard sound card. Its a very light crackling. My wife tried them and didnt notice, but I defiantly do. I have an X-raider 7.1 I can pull from a shelfed PC, is it worth the hassel of trying it...

I purchased my HS1 back in Oct of 2010 and it just kicked it with the cable apparently going tits-up. I have been out of the headset market for along time and would like some recommendations for a new headset. Must have a boom mic, and the band must be able to support the slip for the...

System in sig. I have been using a crucial m4 128GB as my OS drive since I built this PC in March. I recently picked up a 128gb Samsung 830 for my steam folder. I suspect Im doing something wrong with the 830 for it to get these speeds? I hear "ahci" tossed around lots?
