    PC Games from the living room couch / on the TV

    I just picked up an Nvidia shield, and it works well. Ended up getting it for $100.00 I did have some issues with lag on multiplayer games, but single player games work great. As far as the controls con, a LOT of games have built in controller support. Any games that I had felt would be...

    Question about Haswell 5930k Temps

    isn't it advised to NOT use prime95 with haswell-e? I swear when I was looking up overclocking my 5930k I saw warning after warning about it. That being said I have a 5930k with h110, and hit a max of 73 at 4500mhz at 1.3 vcore. (this is using RoG real bench)

    Networking and wiring question

    Cat 5E is good for right around 300ft. What are your requirements for your switch? Cheap? Reliable? Managed? Unmanaged? 8 port? 24 port? HP Procurve switches have a lifetime warranty. While they can be expensive, they're really easy to work with as far as replacement switches go. We have a...

    Recently purchased this amazing router

    It has some decent QoS and traffic monitoring features. I think it can also do content filtering. (I'm not at home and cant quite remember.) You can set up a Radius server. (there's no reason to do this other than it's fun to play with.) There's a plethora of controls in the "Professional"...

    Network camera question

    Every network camera I've used has a web interface. Are you looking for one that records local? Or doesn't record at all? Also, Ubiquti cameras come with free NVR software that allows you to view with an app, and they're relatively cheap.

    Iphone 5s activation issue

    ^ This feature is called "Activation Lock." It's essentially a theft deterrent. The only way around it is stated above. The previous owner can login to www.icloud.com/find and disable it from there by removing the phone from their account. (If, of course the device isn't stolen.) Otherwise...

    i7 -5930k OC

    Shouldn't use Prime with Haswell-E. Asus ROG RealBench has always worked well for me. I've always test for an hour. If I know I'm pushing it I test overnight.

    SLI and Windows 10

    Interesting, I haven't had one hiccup in any of these games with SLI, with the same chipset. Everything has been pretty painless. (granted I didn't do an "upgrade" I always install fresh.) I'm on X99 Deluxe, 5930k, and SLI 980's.

    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    Yep, I had the same issue. My Seinheiser USB headphone sound card would cause boot hang, regardless of settings. I almost RMA'ed my PSU because of it before I found out USB was the cause.. Funny thing is, Asus wanted to RMA my board, they didn't even suggest it could be a USB issue.

    Windows 10 Upgrades Cannot Be Stopped

    What a lot of you are missing is the fact that there is going to be a fast ring and a slow ring, selectable by users. The fast ring will get updates faster. They're going to roll out an update to X amount of users on home version, make sure that update doesn't cause issues, then roll it out to X...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Got my replacement today! This one is much better. A LOT less light bleed in the bottom right corner. There is 1 dust spec/dead pixel in the bottom right corner, but it doesn't bother me. I'll be keeping this one. (I think I'm going to end up wall mounting it, such a wobbly stand!)...

    The panel was pretty that's for sure, I'm not sure if it is Acer or another company doing the assembly, but they need to get their QC in check. At $800.00 it shouldn't be a lottery :( Mine only had one dead pixel for sure (I think), there was another one that was questionable but it had a...

    *sigh* Just getting done playing some GTA on it. Game looks great and G-Sync works for the most part! I didnt think the jump to 1440 would be such an improvement, but it looks great. Now to box it back up and hope the next one is in better shape! Gonna give it one more chance, if it's no good...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    The very top pic is most noticeable. Idk if it's trapped dust or what, but its bigger than then other ones. And this display has a few specs of trapped dust in it, going to play with it a bit tonight just to see how 1440p is compared to my other screen and then either return it or exchange it.

    Well, it arrived today... Screen is gorgeous, 1440p is beautiful, but unfortunately it had some dead pixels. 3 that I found, one may be a cluster. (call me tedious, but I have high expectations for an 800 dollar monitor) Running the pixel fixer in youtube but I don't have high hopes. I'll...
