So I'm not a laptop guy so keep that in mind. I got a decent deal on a new laptop. I was upgrading the ram in my new Inspiron 3520 (i3-1215u w/ 256 GB, M.2, PCIe NVMe) so I go to check my BIOS everything looks good and it says this thing is in RAID mode but not AHCI mode? Any idea why this would...

Well MSI is what I am on and I can say multiple sets of ram, multiple BIOS, and both a 3800X and a 5600X ran into problems. I really don't care for MSI but I hate Gigabyte more and Asus has been slipping or cost cutting recently. Epox and Abit I miss you so much :( Dopamin3 yeah 20 years of...

With as much value as AM4 had to offer it was one of the least enjoyable platforms I've used/tweaked in the last 20 years. Not the worst!!! Let me be clear far from the worst but I have never had a system with so many memory quirks. Even buying high end ram could be a unstable cause it was dual...

Which ones have quality VRM's and don't feel like thin garbage? I'm not opposed to checking out an Asrock board but I'm not sure which their better tier boards are in the upper lower to mid range.

I went from an RTX 2060 (had it for a few years) to an RX 6750 XT for I dunno 6 months before I reinstalled windows. I never did anything besides swapping cards and installing new drivers. I never had an issue. (only issue I had was from bunk ram). My AMD 3800X and 5600X on my MSI Mobo, Same...

Maybe those posts are all dated. Well if Jellyfin has it's own media player for Firestick. I'll have to take a look at it.

So I've been using plex for over a decade since someone on here recommended me to simplify things and just a use a Roku with Plex which was super awesome advice. The streaming device may have changed but the server and PLEX stayed. However.... I'm going to be updating my server in the near...

Did upgrading to 3.5 fix your issues?

Niiiiice.

Sell it to one of those a-holes who's going to dump $500 into a "vintage" gaming machine that they'll use 3 times. Edit, awkward... Just read OP's post didn't see the post I'd be posting under.

Are they performance increases or is it just upscaling?

Intel doing something out of necessity after decades of not isn't an innovation.

I came home and gf was freaking out everything was stuck all of a sudden a 57Mbps. So I went into router to see what was going on she started freaking out about no internet. She couldn't rationalize in her anxiety ridden panic attack the internet is not out I'm just adjusting settings on the...

I have an i7 4770k in my media server, my primary rig I went to a 3800X, then a 5600X, if I was you I'd aim high since you don't upgrade too often and get the best CPU Intel or AMD that you can in whatever price range you got and buy during Black Friday / Cyber Monday. You waited this long I'd...

Well it's not like they are spending much in terms of R&D when they've been stuck on 10nm forever. Marketing, voltage, and more cores. Just shuffle the cores around and order some new boxes bam! The best technology of 2018 in 2023!!

I did that, then I read posts about how to make sure everything is in bridge mode. Then it said if your DNS shows as your routers IP you have a problem. Hence this rabbit hole.

I'll give it a go. Although I'm not really sure how to tell which is better, speed tests? I read his article and double natting doesn't seem to be an issue to him but when I read other articles and posts people are like OMG dbl natting Oh Noes!!!!!! Your IP isn't public you're going to have...

Do I n I have no idea what any of this does. So do I need to create a host name and what about the other 3 settings there? Or do I just select MAC CLONE button? Does the MAC address always stay the same or will I need to hit the mac clone button some other time? How does the MAC address and...

Here we go, best explains I'm trying to avoid this double nat conflict which seems like I have I dunno? https://www.pcworld.com/article/412237/how-to-identify-and-resolve-double-nat-problems.html I did the trace route like in the article and only in the first line it shows the router ip not the...

I guess I want to avoid a double NAT issue? That is the issue I believe I am trying to avoid with not pulling new IP addresses or whatever. I dunno what any of this means I'm just reading that it's likely not correct. If you see it please let me know The snip is from running...

WIFI/MODEM combo > Wireless Router. I don't want to use my crappy Modem's wifi. All I want to do is run it in bridge mode. Long story short it's been the day from hell. Set modem in bridge mode but when I would run ipconfig/all the DNS would show up as my modem's IP which to my understanding...

For the love of all that's holy where do I find bridge mode in an ASUS router all I can find is Media Bridge Mode. Try googling Asus bridge mode all you get is media bridge. I'm not trying to connect to wifi routers together.

Responded in there. :)

Well our current modem/wifi router combo (Blue Curve) that we have is total dog crap at using things like a steamlink. So playing games in one room via the link to a TV with my PC in another room powering it. The crazy thing is my previous modem/router combo pos was able to handle this but this...

I have a couple.... The Geforce 2 and NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 were great and held up for quite some time. I feel like my RX 6750 XT might hit that third spot.. I switched to AMD in the winter and I'm really happy. My previous AMD cards were kinda meh but the driver UI/software makes you feel...

Is a more expensive router like a AX5400 or higher overkill? While I rather have replaceable antenna and 6Ghz band my apartment is 1200 sq/ft at most. 3 people 90% of time just 2. 3 people. 2 laptops + 1 tablet. 1 gaming PC. 2 TV streaming devices (Plex/Netflix/Disney). 1 Server (wifi) for...

Wireless n vs. wifi 6, Since you said it brought it up to modern standards are they basically the same except wifi 6 brings things like MU-MIMO and OFDMA etc? Last time I bought a router it was actually a wireless n router and kinda meh.. So I definitely hope it's improved since that was some...

Well if 2.4Ghz is actually usable that's positive. I'll be honest I don't know the difference between AC and AX all I know is none of my devices are wifi7 and I'll be fine with a last gen router or should I return my unopened wifi6 router and buy the first cheap wifi7 one I can find? I kinda...

More area vs speed gotcha, what do you think range difference would be between the two? This is all just me being curious now that I've dropped myself down this rabbit hole. gesicht so I picked up an Asus RT-AX57 AX3000 it was on sale, if you are running an AX 3500 at 4x 40 what would you...

Edit: I didn't want to make a new thread please see below. Trying to get my router in proper bridge mode to work with my modem. I have a wifi modem combo that sucks so I want to just use it as a modem with my wireless router. So looking at AX1800 vs. AX3000. What exactly is the use case for...

Some things I learned from having a RTX 2060 raytracing is mostly marketing crap you don't need and won't use if you play any FPS games. Slightly nicer shadows aren't worth paying a Nvidia tax for or any DLSS upscaling garbage unless you like your games fuzzy just so you can edge out some more...

Where have you found the best place to sell used hardware as of late? This likely varies by country but where's the best hassle free spot? Certain forums or Amazon or Ebay? Or maybe somewhere else? I used to sell a lot on Amazon but I found myself getting kinda screwed on shipping fees. Like...

Thanks folks, I move a lot when sitting I'm pretty figgity so I assume I'll just end up stretch the mesh out into some sort of hammock situation. But sounds like they aren't super great unless you need a fart net.

Anyone go from padded office chair to mesh? What do you think of it? Pros/cons?

This is what I do. I just bring up the cmd console to install without internet. I don't even know if you need to do that.

But that's what we've wanted for the 20 years. I mean they'll have to leverage it to gamers somehow. We used to have to upgrade the OS to get the newest DX version. Despite games being made on DX9 for like 10+ years....

LOL

Well dude, one thing I have found out in 2023 AMD and Ram is finicky... Are they in slots 2 and 4? I saw on your other thread it showed a diagram but I can't see them since the cooler is blocking them in the picture. When I was troubleshooting some ram I put took them out of 2 and 4 (on a...

That ancient 3 year old processor you have must really have been hell...

I don't understand why people buy high end hardware then use a crutch Nvidia created. If you have a RTX 2070 and you have a 4k display okay then I understand that makes sense. But why not enjoy a game that doesn't look fuzzy? Seriously Nvidia marketing is a powerful kool-aid.
