    Backing up a drive to an external. Most reliable ways?

    I have internal 8TB drives that are updated with additional files on a weekly basis. I have 8TB externals that are dedicated for each internal drive. My question is what is the easiest most reliable way to do the backup? Is it just imaging software to drive copy? My externals are not connected...

    Neighbors puppy chewed my HPG2 cable

    Gotta love puppies! A while back HP was offering free upgrade cables for some AMD conflicted users. I am not looking for free but I can't seem to find official cables at a reasonable price and would prefer to get the proper updated set. Can anyone help steer me straight?

    MS ends WMR support/devlopment

    Kind of a surprise to me as this is an important space I would have thought MS would want to at least maintain some development/presence in the space. I mean it isn't costing them much. With so many partners out of the gate with biggies such as Samsung and HP (both of which I bought HMD from) it...

    Best budget B550 MB for strictly gaming w/5000 series

    Looking for low cost 2X min RAM slot minimum MB. 4 slots is fine but not needed. I would like it to be fully capable and not restrict some minor OC'ing and definitely not restrict or throttle the CPU out of weakness of power delivery. Just running a modern GPU along with my Zen 3 for VR gaming...

    Help needed with old 775 MB

    I have this MB and have had no luck in getting a post https://motherboarddb.com/motherboards/542/ Testing bare bones. Dual core xeon. One stick of DDR2-800 and GPU. GPU and CPU fans go full blast when I power up. They stay running full until I power off. No post. I have tried two different ram...

    AMD 7000 series driver update VR fix

    Last week AMD 7000 series driver stated VR fix. I know it is a hard find as discussed in earlier posts, but does anyone have a link to anyone testing these new found developments?

    AMD new driver VR?

    As title. So what sites are doing the work? Yes none. Please enlighten me. How can none of the "biggies" not have a single headset to add to their suite? GN, HUB are the biggies and yet, nope.... WTF? It is like VR benchies are blocked!

    HMD cooling methods for the user?

    I've modded both my Samsung Odyssey + and HP Reverb G2 with air flow. I seem to have the ability to fog up a display (despite not being a hot/sweaty type) and also get nauseous very quickly when I have no air flow. Anyone else suffered and or made a comfort fix to a HMD and if so how did you...

    Can I play VR with another over LAN (home)?

    Hey all. I have two VR headsets, both WMR if that matters for my question. (Samsung Odessey+ and HP reverb G2) Multiple PC's of course. Thinking it would be fun to have a friend join me at my place for some joint gaming. Ya I figure sharing the same space would be problematic so I am not...

    Whatz your oldest system/gear you still use on a daily or regular basis?

    Myself I have an old Core 2 Quad 9400, 6GB RAM Dell system I use as my bed room PC. Upgraded with SSD of course. I'm not a sado-masicust! Watches YT and plays vids just fine. Also my only PC that has a PCI slot so it has my Firewire card for when I need to grab something off an old tape. I also...

    I want a new GPU for VR!

    The market so sucks atm. We aren't in a minning boom yet prices are lofty still. I had high hopes for the new AMD 7900 series. They fattened the bus over the 6000 series so there shouldn't be a 4K+ VR drop, and they gave as usual, far more RAM per $ then Nvidia. But for some reason (limited...

    So how to get AMD FSR on my GPU?

    Hey, a 2080 owner trying to get FSR going. To my surprise after watching lots of vids showing this tech I am having a hard time D/L'ing and installing this. What gives? If AMD is trying to push this tech across multiple hardware then make it simple. I think I might understand now why it hasn't...

    Ideal 32GB RAM kit?

    Hey yo. I have a nice B-die 3200 CL14 kit in my current system but I am wanting to grab a 32GB kit. My ask is, before DDR4 goes ++$$ I thought I better grab some as I intend to hand-me-down my older stuff. Question: What is the go-to solid, good for the price 32GB kit? Yes I would like it to...

    Ryzen Master no go!

    Recently updated my archaic 1700X to a 5700X. I want to play around with mt B-Die so I decided to open up my Ryzen Master to get some quick details (voltage etc...) It wouldn't run and said it was incompatible. Ya I thought, old CPU so needs an upgrade. So... did an uninstall and an install of...

    5800X3D.. How much will I miss SAM on a X370?

    Would upgrade in the future, but how impactful would it be on that old beast? Minimal, as I know it depends on the game, or should I just spring for a B550 and be done with it?

    AMD HD sound?

    I saw a video about a guy who reclaimed a damaged Zen chip (5000/7000) I can't remember and he lost a pin or two but explained that it was only for HD-Audio do it didn't matter. This is the first I ever heard of it. What is it and why?

    BIOS reseting on laptop

    Helping a friend with his laptop that keeps partially resetting the BIOS to default UEIF from legacy. His drive is only seen by Legacy. The catch is I don't think his CMOS battery has failed as it knows the purchase date, and the current date. I would think that all that info would be gone if it...

    Where is my dirt cheap post merge GPU?

    Well it has all gone down. Supposed to be millions of high ends around, although I don't know why they didn't hit the market over the last 3 months when the writing was on the wall. So what gives? Where are these wearhouses of GPU's? Are the prices and quantity waiting for the 4000 & 7000 series...

    Thoughts on AM5 CPU line-up

    In the released line-up I noticed that after the 7950X and 7900X they drop down to the 7700X. I thought this puzzling as with the 5000 series we had no 5700X until very late and the same time roughly as the 5800X3D. My crystal ball guess here in the 7800X slot will stay empty until AMD wants to...

    DLSS or FSR etc...

    Is this tech moving into VR territory at all? Is it even fully workable with the VR tech/tricks in place? VR is set to gain the most from this emerging tech as minimum we're looking at 4K with the added spec of 90+fps ideally. Most pancake-rez fanatics miss the fine print on this.

    Greatest games of al time, worth playing now!

My goal is to stream line the games list with the following criteria: 1. Not an arcade port. List will...

    Crappy reception

    I have a cheapish Moto G7 Play. I have very poor reception. I thought it was my carrier so I changed. No differance. Had a friend over with a budget phone and it showed with multiple bars where I have mostly none and will even drop MSM many night. Do I just have a bad radio/modem whatever it is...

    3080 12 GB

    This card seems a bit bizarre to me. Too close to a 3080Ti. Why is it going to exist? What bus speed is this card going to be? It is never mentioned in any media blurbs. Can't stay the same with 12GB right?

    Have an old HD7870 that has had fan issues almost since day one but otherwise has been reliable. I getto-modded a case fan onto it to make sure it stayed cool and served its life until now in my homemade arcade machine of my design I'm proud to say. Anyways it is now throwing an error up (out of...

    Mining GPU usage % for AMD & Nvidia cards

    I am using Verthash one click miner (opinions?) with 3 cards. AMD HD7870 GHz ed, HD7950, and NVIDIA RTX2080. My question is under task Manager the AMD cards show 0-1% GPU usage while the NVIDIA card shows a constant 94-99%, yet when I play a video on the AMD systems the media player will jump...

    Samsung and AMD = Quest type product?

    Well known that Samsung has Radeon GFX partnership. Being that Samsung is the king of displays and has been more then quiet on the VR front for ever, could a Quest 2/3 killer be in the wings? I don't see super gaming phones being the strategy here.

    Snagged a G2

    HP gave me a $75 off coupon for Canadian store. GRAD75. Pushed me over the edge. Paid for the taxes I guess. Love my Odyssey+ and feel I need a better GPU, but many have said they enjoy their G2 with equal or lesser. I am obviously familiar with the WMR environment some I am looking forward to...

    Fan issue. Requires a high rpm setting is software before it will even spin

    Card is a HD 7870 GHz edition. XFX Ghost Recon ed. Dual fan. It is used in my media PC. I noticed I could hear the fan ramping and high spinning then ramp down. This I now realize was the card hitting a temp and kicking in the fan. I knew something was wrong and the ramp up-down cycle is a no go...

    Getting my Pi4 to boot from USB SSD. Help!

    Must say I am new to this, but have made many Pi's to run off of emulator images and it is dead easy. So I thought I would make a capable 8GB Pi4 desktop for a friend as I saw and liked Fenix. Ya all is good off the micro SD, but am struggling to get that onto the USB-SSD. Any help? Thanx
