    4770k and I just bought a new GPU

    I probably will upgrade CPU again once DDR5 platform matures. Just seems like an awkward time to build right now, straddling older vs. newer tech with something like alder lake.

    4770k and I just bought a new GPU

    I've had 4770k (2013) and GTX970 (2015) for a bit. I don't game much anymore but I do some 3d modeling/printing and have had the upgrade itch lately, but couldn't justify new CPU/mobo/OS/PSU etc etc etc. So instead I'll be replacing my old B-stock GTX 970 with a B-stock RTX 3060. Is this a...

    Fastest non-M2 drive?

    After some more research, it seems that using an M2 adapter in my PCIe2.0x1 slot isn't a big advantage over SATA III 6gb/s. I'm trying to see if using the adapter in my available PCIe2.0x16 slot would impact GPU performance in any way..

    Fastest non-M2 drive?

    "Durable" storage (media and game installations). I didn't know those adapters existed! I'll check that out! I have a free PCIe2.0x16 and PCIe2.0x1 slot. Edit - I see this is popular -...

    Fastest non-M2 drive?

    I have a pre-M2 mobo and I want to simplify my storage with a large (2tb+) drive. Will be used for photo/video storage. My mobo: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z87-G41-PC-Mate/Specification Should I go SATA III? Are there PCI storage options that are faster? I don't have any reason to upgrade...

    Litecoin, Bitcoin’s Fourth-Biggest Rival, Is up Nearly 5,800 Percent This Year

    I have 1.45 sitting on my desktop encrypted with a password I'll never remember from 4 years ago. So I just bought 1.5 so I can still take the ride, good or bad, and not feel too terrible about my lost 1.45. I know this makes no sense, but now I feel better.

    $180 27-inch monoprice IPS monitor 2560x1440 refurbished

    Good luck man. I paid $200 shipped - $139 plus shipping is a great price (once you get a working one).

    $180 27-inch monoprice IPS monitor 2560x1440 refurbished

    I would return and pay lower price. My problem was I think you need a defective monitor for them to pay return shipping - and my second one works. That and I already sold my old 144hz.

    $180 27-inch monoprice IPS monitor 2560x1440 refurbished

    2nd try was the charm! Nice monitor, even though the enclosure sucks. Will keep and see how long she lasts. Down to $150 by the way.

    So that's two that have been put in the box very broken. Why would monoprice try to sell this stuff? It's just costing them more in shipping them back and forth.. edit.. collecting insurance from shippers?

    Crash Tests Raise Questions about Safety of Tesla Model S

    For timing conspiracy theorists, ever consider IIHS gave Tesla as much time as possible to address the issue prior to release? When nothing was done it kinda is their job to let consumers know..

    Got mine, the screen was literally falling off the front of the monitor when I took it out of the box. RMA opened. Going to roll the dice until I get a decent one.

    $180 27-inch monoprice IPS monitor 2560x1440 refurbished

    I plan on selling my 144hz ASUS and the rando 1080p next to it to offset this cost. Don't need/want 144hz/TN anymore and the larger real estate should render the 2nd monitor unnecessary. Can't wait!
