Bought this at launch for use in my home theater room, but my wife gets lonely when I spend too much time in there, so I end up gaming more in the office. Rather than letting this continue to sit, I think it's time for me to sell it. Smoke free home, and although we have cats, they are never...

Exactly the situation I was in. I ony had half gig service and between streaming, two individuals working from home, and a number of IOT devices (Ring cameras, mostly) that I had not had a chance to separate out onto its own VLAN, we started having some issues on the WFH side. QoS was put in as...

No worries. I do things to test and then revert if not effective.

Whelp, there's the proverbial smoking gun. QoS was the culprit. Adjusted settings, manually set bandwidth values based on tests from router, no changes. Completely disabled it and first test from my primary desktop, 1999.02 down. Thank you all for your contributions, and for saving me the...

I probably found many of the same pages that you did, which is why I came here. Good idea with QoS, as I have also forgotten to check those settings. Barring that, factory reset will be next as well as direct to ONT tests. Hopefully I have some additional data points to analyze after those. Wife...

Cable distance, two desktops are under 30ft, one is 100ft. I haven't connected a desktop directly to the ONT, but I can give that a try.

Speed tests from router and from desktop are to the same server.

That was one of the first things I tried on the Windows machines before going down the rest of the rabbit holes. EEE off, power management off, changing auto negotiation to 2.5 full duplex had no effect.

I just upgraded my fiber from half gig to 2 gig service, but I can't get that speed from a desktop. Three desktops in my house (2 Win11, 1 Debian) all with 2.5GbE NICs, connecting to a 2.5Gbit unmanaged switch with 10GbE uplink to Asus GT-AX11000 Pro's 10GbE port. 2.5GbE port on GT-AX11000 Pro...

I used the stock spacer that came in the box with a Kiwi Airflow Mask and didn't have any problems, especially if I had a fan on my face while playing. Eventually, I ordered actual prescription lenses and wished that I had done so earlier.

Thank you FrgMstr for the heads up.

I own two, both 1200w but one platinum the other titanium. Never had a single issue. Silent, clean, cost less than bigger names; next build will likely have a SF in it too.

I know this is a little speculative, but, do you think someone could purchase a Legion Go S with Windows today and then when it's officially supported wipe (or replace) the drive and install SteamOS with little effort? Asking for a friend ;-)

Also a customer of both SPD and GHD. The number of issues I've ever had were small, but customer service gave me no grief and quickly replaced with no questions or testing. Get the enterprise grade with longer warranty and utilize general best practices for backups and you'll be happy to have...

I've never seen one like that before. All of mine the threads go all the way from head down to the end of the shaft. Odd...

Solid tips. I knew about my WTB option in our forum but wanted to see if there were others. You know, like Swappa or BackMarket for phones, but for WC. Thank you all.

Ahhh, I never knew about the nut trick to force a rethread. I have always had a little resistance when I go to screw it in and I just push past it. I'll be doing that from now on when I have to cut.

Looking for a tip on where to go to get quality used watercooling gear. Been wanting to for years, done plenty of research, just don't like the startup price for new rads, pumps, reservoirs, fittings, blocks etc... Does anything like that exist? Or should I throw a hail mary into the FS/FT section?

Rethread the end? This doesn't make sense. The threads are there, you're just cutting part of the shaft. This is only if local hardware store doesn't have 20mm in stock but does have 30mm. Lose the top end? Do you mean the head of the screw? You don't cut that part off. Both ends needed to...

Agreed with above. Ace, HomeDepot, Lowes, Menards, whoever you have as a local hardware store should have M3 screws, you're looking for probably 20mm but if they only have 30mm you can cut it down with a hacksaw, bolt cutters, angle grinder, etc...

My wife tasked me with finding an old Nickelodeon series and it's not complete on IPT. Does anybody have a BTN invite? Or another private tracker that I might be able to try? I'll happily trade an IPT invite.

Thanks for pointing that out. This was just an example picture and not the one I was looking at. That one doesn't clearly show both sides ports simultaneously in one picture. G1/4 all the way for all of my selections. :-)

Thought so, just wanted to be sure. I've noticed lots of gimmicks used for anti vortex, or even waterfall features, but I immediately understood the reason for the small tube inside. I plan on having that on top and making sure my fluid is filled well above the rim to ensure aeration doesn't...

Finally have enough disposable income to justify the desire to do my first watercooled rig. Been researching, reading, verifying info, and then going back around again to make sure I don't waste my money on useless junk. One question that keeps rattling around is in reference to tube reservoir...

FWIW new UPS batteries are easily available from refurbups.com. I've gotten replacement batteries as well as refurbished UPSes from them and never had a problem. They even have a recycling program if you don't have one locally, just pay shipping. With pirateship being so cheap there's little...

As a person who regularly gets annoyed with himself over being a perfectionist, I wouldn't be able to walk away from this. If you can, great, but if that were my situation I'd rebuild or at least redesign. Most people, myself included, have more case fans they need and perhaps the overall best...

Glad to see it go to a good home. Enjoy!

I got the recent Humble Bundle and here's the duplicates. In true Hunger Games fashion, may the odds be ever in your favor. Redeem on Steam, and please remember to post and say so if you claimed it. Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI 2N246-I2NMV-HRN8D Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Civilization &...

Unfortunately, not really. Some manufacturers say 6" above and 2" on the side, others are 8" on both, some don't list anything at all but we all know they need to breathe. None of these measurements are spec, just recommendations. I generally follow "more is better" but if I question it then I...

***Update - SOLD*** It was time for a storage upgrade, here is what I replaced. Asking $400 (firm) shipped for everything. Not looking at breaking up this bundle right now because I bought 10 drives and have the boxes from those. 6x8TB HGST Ultrastar HUH728080ALE601 - These were purchased from...

He said sometimes. Unfortunately companies don't always list the initial starting voltage/amperage required, but thankfully with many return policies at different vendors the risk is low on being stuck with something. Also, if you use a USB block and not the port on a pc, you run into fewer...

I haven't, but there are other options. Currently I use this https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Controller-Playstation-Raspberry-Ventilation/dp/B07JMQ6KND/ and this https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Voltage-Step-Up-Sleeved-Adapter/dp/B081K8LBH3 on some 140mm fans, and I found these...

Those Kanto YU2MBs look pretty good. Thank you for the recommendations. Physically swapped L and R, didn't change the issue, so that narrowed things down a lot. I feel foolish for not thinking about sound reflections in the beginning. Bought a small table to sit next to my desk, moved the...

Haven't tried swapping L and R yet physically. Will be nice to confirm the suspicion. On vacation for now, but will report soon. Also, these are the newer ones... Sadly. Quality just isn't there like back in the day. On a side note, I'm looking into replacements. "Gaming" soundbar, or USB...

Void: They are integrated, so, both were replaced. Trunks: There is a dedicated headphone output, but it's not simultaneous. You have to use the control panel software and toggle between the two, and then use Windows to adjust balance level. Functionally annoying. I think I might have figured...

Bit of an older system. Sound Blaster Z sound card, 3.5mm splitter, one to Klipsch Promedia 2.0 speakers, the other to some earbuds. Earbuds have zero issues. When speakers are turned up, right is about 20% louder than the left. I can correct this with balance slider, but then the left in the...

Welcome to the community Sphoenix. Always nice to see new competitors to the market, especially when they engage with their clients.

LFaWolf I have one, and then I bought one for my wife as well because she complained about accidentally pressing certain "pinkie keys" when she was working, so I bought a second for her. She still hits the keys but has made them with a longer actuation point so that they don't register. Mine...

I never reduced power limit, increased it actually, and the purpose of using Cyberpunk 2077 is because just standing somewhere I can maintain 100% GPU load and max out my heat, something I couldn't reliably do in 3DMark or Bright Memory Infinite Ray Tracing Benchmark because of the delays...
