    Am I reading this right?

    I am in the process of building a storage array, using a Supermicro 846 chassis. Now...I don't know if I ever really intend to fully fill this beast of a case, but it was free to me, so I'm utilizing it. I did some quick napkin math, and wanted to see if I am interpreting my numbers right. I...

    How to get cigarette smoke smell out of video card?

    I needed a "new" PCIe-powered GPU (so no external power connections), and found a good deal on one on Facebook Marketplace. It never even occurred to me to ask if it was from a non-smoking environment. After I picked it up, I could barely make the drive home with it. It stinks something bad...

    Should I upgrade? 3700X/X470 > 5950X/X570

    Curious whether this upgrade would be worth it. I currently have a 3700X running on an X470 motherboard, 32GB RAM. I can get a good buy on a 5950X running on an X570 motherboard. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? I know Zen4/AM5 is not terribly far away, but I also know it will be expensive to...

    WTS some stuff just sitting around. Might entertain trades, just depends on what it is. Originally was looking for a Radeon 6900 xtxh (plus cash on my end, obviously), but might wait for either the refresh coming or wait for the 7x series. Pricing based on a quick scan of ebay. Powercolor...

    Too many video card flavors

    Is there a resource out there that talks about which cards are which (differences between them and whatnot)? Are there any flavors to stay away from (Is reference good or bad)?

    Odd Paypal refund

    So this didn't happen here, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this? Is it legit? Should I worry? I purchased some magic fire buttons from a bang stick auction site about a month ago. I paid with a Credit Card via Paypal. I got the items, and everything was happy and...

    WTB: S10+ \ Note 10+

    I cracked the screen on my S10+ last weekend, and might just buy a new one rather than pay to fix the screen. Does anyone have a S10+ or Note 10+ (preferred) in good shape that they are willing to part with? Either Verizon or Factory Unlocked.

    Favorite filaments?

    Ok. After blowing through the white sample that was included with my Ender 3 Pro, I am on the hunt for everybody's favorite filament. When I bought the printer, I also purchased some Inland PLA+ to go with it. I haven't used it yet, as I pretty much have to wait for my PTFE tubing for my...

    Just built my first Ryzen (2700X) system - CPU temp question

    Per the subject, I just finished building my first ever Ryzen system. I threw a Corsair H100 (original) on it, because I had one laying around. I wasn't too sure on how tight the bracket should go (I was using a screwdriver to turn it...it didn't bottom out - not sure if it should be or not)...

    WTB: 10TB-12TB HDD

    Looking for a 10TB-12TB HDD. Can be a shucked drive, I don't care. Being used to store movies. I won't argue with a 14TB either, but I think those are probably out of my price range for now. Budget is ideally sub-$180 for a 12TB, as I think that is the price point the shuckable drives go for...

    Original Swiftech H220 on AM4?

    I have an original Swiftech H220 that has been sitting in a box for years because the pump died. I recently got a new 2700X system and thought that I could just replace the pump in this rather than buy a new cooler for the Ryzen. So I have a couple of questions: 1. Which pump do I need to buy...

    Which RPG?

    Sceptre 65"

    How would this work as a TV? I like the specs of it, and I like the price. It lists MEMC 120 as the refresh rate, so I'm not sure if that means it is a native 120Hz set that is then doubled to 240Hz, or whether it means it is a 60Hz set doubled to 120Hz. Does anybody have any more info on it?
