    What do I need for 4K streaming?

    I second rhansen5_99 on Plex. You can direct play 4K content on some devices. The specifics are here, and below: Container: MP4 Resolution: 3840×2160 or smaller Video Encoding: HEVC (H.265) Video Frame Rate: 30fps Video Bit Depth: 8 There are quite a few limitations on hardware though, so I do...

    Monoprice 32in 4K HDR IPS Monitor

    I ran 2 of the Monoprice Zero-G 1440p monitors up until .. Last week actually lol (Finally making the move to 4k) - Brightness on it was 440 cd/m². And yeah, that bezel.... The biggest thing I can't figure out on the Monoprice 4K is the 2ms response time listed in the specs. A standard 27" IPS...

    System won't boot after changing any setting in BIOS

    If the issue is only in changing BIOS settings, you MAY be able to reflash the BIOS and see if that fixes things for you. Of course, with a BIOS that's not behaving properly to begin with, flashing the BIOS is even more risky than usual, so proceed with caution and be prepared to have to swap...

    Videocards that support 2+ DVI monitors

    Awesome - Thanks! All of them have such mixed reviews, so I suppose it may depend on your individual setup, but I will definitely keep this one in mind.

    Recent(terrible) customer support experience with ASUS

    I'll second that on Toshiba. Sent in my laptop several years ago for an RMA for an issue on their BIOS locking you out with no BIOS password set (known issue) and got my laptop back with all sorts of phantom power issues (plug in a USB device, instantly crash your system) - I now avoid Toshiba...

    Do you happen to know which adapter you have? It'd be good to know which one handles 120hz without an issue for my own reference.

    Sli 1080ti 50% util

    It sounds like you have a non-HB bridge. You'd have to buy the HB bridge separately in most cases. This is what the ASUS HB Bridge looks like and it runs ~$50 for one new.

    how do I rearrange gpu 1 and 2 in windows?

    That's unusual. All the documentation I can find, and my personal experience (albeit not on x399) has been that whichever card is in the top slot is your master card in an SLI setup, and that's not something you can change. There were a lot of complaints about the top card having worse airflow...

    Videocards that support 2+ DVI monitors

    Essentially DVI-D removed the analog signal from the port. DVI-I supported either digital signals or analog (using a DVI-I to VGA adapter for example) and DVI-D removed that functionality in favor of 100% digital signal. DP to DVI-D cords may or may not work properly depending on your setup. I...

    Help with DP to DVI Adapter, can't get signal.

    None that I'm aware of on any board I've seen. I have a similar issue in that I run a dual monitor setup and prefer my taskbar not be on the "primary" monitor. Unfortunately, every time I turn my monitors off, the "main" taskbar is moved to the primary monitor again because the monitors are...

    Help with DP to DVI Adapter, can't get signal.

    In all honesty, I'd probably go with the monitor over the adapter. Like Kyle said, these adapters are all pretty iffy in terms of functionality, especially in the long term. The new monitor would probably also give you better picture quality and will last much longer than an older monitor+DP...

    Help with DP to DVI Adapter, can't get signal.

    Which adapters have you tried already? I'd like to take a look at the specs on them if you don't mind. The main issue with DP to anything is convincing the DP that the port is in use and the monitor is on, since DP disables the port when a monitor isn't detected. That's likely why they wanted...

    Videocards that support 2+ DVI monitors

    The only way I'm aware of to get a secondary DVI-D port on a 1080/TI without sacrificing the actual dual link functionality is to get an active DisplayPort adapter, but those are neither cheap, nor 100% reliable from my understanding. This one from StarTech is about the highest rated one I can...

    G15 question......should i exchange?

    I've been using a G15 v2 for over a year now and I've never noticed that the space bar is louder than other keys, though my delete key has always seemed that way to me. It does make a slightly different noise due to it's shape, but it's certainly not louder. Exchanging it couldn't hurt - And...

    I've never seen anything like this... need help please

    It actually looks a lot like you may be experiencing some power related issues. I had a system that at one point began to lock up any time I would plug in a USB device that tried to draw any power through the port and spent the longest time trying to figure out what the issue was (cycling...

    The Internet is Stupid

    The worst part is the people who DO use them but aren't capable of doing so and end up needing the clerk that manages the 4 self-checkouts to come over and pretty much do the entire thing for them.. Kind of defeats the purpose of having self-checkout. But I definitely agree with you on the best...

    Sheriff Uses Software To Scare Kids Away From Drugs

    Wait a minute, did we just jump from it not causing accidents to it actually PREVENTING accidents? What study are you basing this on? I'm not choosing sides here, but I also noticed that while people on the pro side are quick to jump on the people who say it does cause deaths for not having...

    Firefox 3.6 is 15% Faster than Previous Version

    It's not about eliminating the threat. It's about reducing the threat. I tend to trust the sites I go to more than I trust the sites that have advertisements on their site through whatever random advertising company they happen to use. That way, if I get a virus it's my own fault for going to a...

    Firefox 3.6 is 15% Faster than Previous Version

    Some ads can actually compromise your system - A good number of the browser based security vulnerabilities are exploitable via advertisements. Not to mention those flash ads that start talking at you..... Not really something I MUST get rid of, but something that is nice to not have to deal with.

    Firefox 3.6 is 15% Faster than Previous Version

    Valid points - I am probably remembering the early days of Firefox when the load time was absolutely atrocious (or perhaps it's because I was rather mod-happy at the time..) and that is when I started to dislike it. That being said, I still use both Chrome and Firefox, mostly for their range in...

    Firefox 3.6 is 15% Faster than Previous Version

    Then you've never had an application in your browser hang.. Chrome is a much better experience when, for example, a Flash application hangs and you only have to close one tab instead of all of your windows/tabs.
