    Are RGB ATX extensions dangerous?

    I don't really care if RGB is stupid, that ship sailed for me long ago. But I'm more interested in whether something like this is likely to burn my house down: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTD9YWF8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A35YSX3GLRRA77&th=1

    MSI X670E Carbon won't reboot reliably - DDR5 issue?

    I have an MSI X670E Carbon on the latest BIOS with 2x32gb Vengeance DDR5-6000 (AMD Expo version) that won't reboot reliably. If I cold cold boot it, it usually boots to Windows after about 5 minutes of black screen. If I reboot it never comes back up. I have to turn it off and on repeatedly...

    ASUS TUF A16 AMD Advantage Laptop

    I just picked this up from Best Buy on a back to school sale for $800. The thing is a beast, it’s got a fast 8 core AMD Rembrandt CPU, and a “Radeon 7600S” mobile GPU, which actually performs really well. I bought the computer for some cybersecurity courses I’m taking, and it has an all day...

    How to fit a Gigabyte RTX 4080 in a Corsair 275R Case with front AIO

    Spoiler alert: replaced two of the radiator fans with 15mm low profile fans (Specifically in this case the Corsair AF 120 RGB Slim fans which happen to be channel-compatible with the Elite models) Is this stupid? Yes. But this is fine because my CPU (Ryzen 7900 non-X maxes out at 88 watts). It...

    RTX 4070 Ti Strix touching AIO

    I think this is hilarious. Before ordering a 4070 Ti Strix, I made sure to measure the available space in my case (Corsair Carbide 275R) - with a front 360 AIO there was exactly 336mm of clearance for a GPU. The 4070 Ti Strix is listed as 336mm in length. So it should fit! Well yes, it fits...

    How to make Alienware Aurora R10 thermals suck less

    My husband bought an Alienware Aurora R10 to get a 5950x / 6800 XT and then shucked the components into his existing Corsair case because the Alienware Aurora R10 thermal performance sucks balls. To give an idea of how godawful this case design is, here is a photo from PC Magazine: Fun facts...

    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread THE SEQUEL (No whining or ree'ing)

    This is the new NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread. The old thread was a waste of time because of the whining and ree'ing. Yes, the cards are expensive. Yes, they're hard to find. Very insightful, but it doesn't help people actually find the cards. Mods please lock the old thread or ban me if you...

    Question on X570 PCIe x16 slot bandwidth

    I'm looking at a few X570 boards, for example this one: https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-x570-gaming-pro-carbon-wifi/p/N82E16813144260 I'm wondering if I can use the second PCIe x16 slot to run a PCIe 3.0 x4 fiber networking interface card without limiting the PCIe 4.0 bandwidth of the top slot...

    Any 32” 4K gaming monitors on the horizon?

    I have a Dell U3219Q and it’s great for productivity but a bit smeary in games and obviously no adaptive sync. I really like 32” at 4K, but it seems like all the 4K gaming monitors are 27”, and at that size 2K makes more sense. Are there any good 32” gaming options coming out anytime soon?

    FT: EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3 for AMD 5700 XT or Radeon VII

    I have a 1080Ti in my workstation that I recently converted to Linux. It works fine but I'm not gaming and Nvidia's Linux drivers are crap. I'd like to do a straight trade for a recent AMD card, or would consider older AMD cards if you add some cash.

    Apple Pro Display XDR

    FWIW I do a lot of vector graphic design and typography so I appreciate the high density over refresh. Apple’s monitor seems very close to my ideal monitor. - 32” of working space - “retina” pixel density - professional color coverage If you look on Newegg for a PC monitor, you can find...

    4x16gb or 8x8gb for Threadripper

    I'm thinking of upgrading my Threadripper 2950X machine to 64gb as I'm constantly getting near full usage with 32gb. Does 8 versus 4 dimms matter anymore? I would like to run at least 3333mhz C16 since that's what I have now. Any kit recommendations would also be appreciated! I don't mind LEDs...

    WTT EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 for Radeon VII

    Basically the title. I'm using this card in a Linux box and it's great, but I'd much prefer AMD graphics because their Linux support is better. Please PM me if you're interested in doing a trade.

    Deadripper - is this even possible? (bad X399 board fries CPUs)

    My husband was setting up his new X399 computer (Gigabyte X399 Aorus Xtreme) and it wouldn't POST. After trying pretty much all the components in other computers we narrowed the problem down to either the CPU or the motherboard. I already had a working Threadripper build so I swapped my CPU out...

    Router advice on 10G LAN + fiber Internet w/ static IP

    I'm upgrading to gigabit fiber (from cable) and looking to upgrade my home LAN to 10 gigabit in the process. The ISP told me to choose whatever router I want, but there's one wrinkle: I'm running a web server, and any router I buy would need to support assigning a dedicated IP address to one of...

    Alienware AW3418DW - any drawback to "overclocking"?

    This monitor comes stock with 100hz and has a firmware-enabled 120hz "overclock." Is there a drawback to using this, like in terms of longevity of the monitor, or is this just technically running the displayport cable out-of-spec but no biggie?

    Corsair SP120 as radiator fans for Enermax Liqtech 360 OC TR4 ??

    One of the "Twister bearing" fans on my Enermax 360mm radiator is making an awful grinding noise and I fear the end is nigh. I can't actually find an exact replacement anywhere (seems they don't sell this standalone?) But I have some LED Corsair SP120 fans in my closet. Can I use these on the...

    Miners hate this one weird trick that would make GPUs available again

    I admit, I mine on my GPUs when I'm not working or gaming, but it seems like there could be a fairly obvious fix that would make mining unrealistic on consumer-grade hardware. Driver lock: only allow 1 GPU to be actively computing per PC, other than SLI or Physx. If you want to do multi-GPU...

    DDR4 max speed with Threadripper / Ryzen

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum - I recently switched from an Intel X299 motherboard to X399 / Threadripper, and kept the same memory (4 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3466) On the Intel system, the memory ran perfectly at 3466 (the primary XMP profile). The AMD system randomly reboots...

    ASUS X399 Strix immediately shuts off if 8 pin 12V CPU power connected. Help?

    I just put this together so I've never seen as much as a BIOS screen, but it's a weird issue. When I finished building and hit the power switch, the machine enters this infinite loop where it powers on, powers off a second later, waits a few seconds, powers on, powers off, etc. So I tried to...

    any 32" 4k high-refresh monitors in the forseeable future?

    I have a Dell UP3216Q, which is fantastic for working, but I would really like to play games at a higher refresh than 60hz. It seems like all the gaming monitors are 27" though, and 4k at 27" is just too tiny to use 100% DPI scaling, thus defeating the purpose... so are there any upcoming...

    G Sync half refresh rate option gone in 361.60?

    I was using the "G Sync / Half refresh rate" option to lock my framerate at 72hz and avoid the horrible Fallout 4 physics bugs due to high FPS. Unfortunately this option seems to be gone in the latest Nvidia driver. Or did they move it? Or am I on crack. If anyone else can confirm, I'd be...
