    What to expect to sell a monitor with a bad panel for?

    I have a an Asus PG278Q that is in perfect shape, but I think the panel is starting to go bad. Whatever, it gave me many good years and I wanted to upgrade anyway. But I heard that people will pay for this for parts. I have no idea what it'd be worth. Any ideas what price at which to list it?

    Weird, periodic issues with Dell XPS15

    I have a strange problem with the wireless network on my Dell XPS15 (9550). The throughput on wireless will bounce between typical speeds of ~80Mbps or ~220mbps depending on whether I’m on the 2G or 5G channel. All of the sudden, it will drop to the kbps and stay there for a long time (minutes...

    Horizontal "flickering" lines running through Asus ROG PG278Q monitor

    My monitor has weird "static-y" or "flickering" lines running through it. I know it's the monitor itself because when I unplug the Display Port cable and it's just the back-light on the monitor, I can still see the lines flicking across the monitor. I've reset the monitor settings. Is there...

    One of my two SSIDs continually loses connectivity

    I have a new home, and have gone from Google Fiber to WOW cable internet. The issue presents itself on both my old Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 modem and my new 3.1 modem. The problem is that I will constantly (at least twice per day) lose internet connectivity. However, I'm running a 2G and 5G SSID...

    Upgraded to Samsung B-die, still getting horrible RAM speeds

    So a while ago I posted this thread tl;dr is that I had some average RAM that I was able to get past XMP/DOCP speeds fairly easily. Did a BIOS update, and tried and failed miserably to get past 2400MHz (before update was getting better than 3200 easy). The problem is, I I've done three or four...

    New BIOS, RAM won't even post at DOCP/XMP

    I have 3200MHz RAM as listed in my signature. I had it running at 3266MHz. I upgraded my UEFI BIOS in anticipation of a possible Ryzen 3 series CPU upgrade, and my RAM won't even POST at DOCP standards anymore. I did a full BIOS reset, then just selected DOCP. I also backed off on speeds all the...

    Is there an issue with my SSD?

    I’m having an issue with things loading really slowly all of the sudden on my Dell XPS 15 (9550). I wish I could say what changed right before this started, but I can’t. Seems like everything I try to do is slow, like it’s struggling to read from the NVMe (maybe? Still trying to figure out the...

    Weird allignment issue between case and motherboard expansion slots (O-11 Dynamic)

    I have a BNIB Lian Li O11 Dynamic and an Asus Crosshair 7 Hero. The motherboard is (I'm 99.9% sure) installed/seated properly in the case on standoffs. The weird thing is when I went to connect my Strix 1080Ti to the top PCI-E slot, It would hit the case (where you screw the back plate of the...

    Added two extra RAM sticks, frequencies go WAY down (XMP crashes)

    So I'm running an ASUS C7H motherboard with a 2700X. I had two sticks of Team 3200MHz 8GB. I was hitting 3333MHz CL18 @ 1.4v. Now...I know that adding extra DIMMs usually results in lower timings, but I can't even get a few seconds into Windows now at DOCP/XMP settings. I tried down-clocking to...

    Screws to mount fans to radiator, but with added reservior mount

    I have the Singularity Computers Protium D5 reservoir Pump Combo. I currently have three 120mm fans mounted to an EKWB radiator using the long screws that came with the radiator. I want to mount the reservoir using the bracket that it came with, but the extra width of the bracket means that the...

    What fittings did you realize you needed for your setup after it was too late?

    I'm doing my first watercooling build in about five years. I'm doing soft tubing, and I have compression fittings, a bunch of 45, 90, snake, and 180 degree fittings, a four-way splitter w/ male-to-male fitting with a valve for a drain port, and a few plugs. I'm wondering if anyone has a fitting...

    Crosshair VII Hero: can I effectively use 1 M.2 NVMe and 1 M.2 SATA without losing PICE x16 VGA?

    I'm planning to pick up the ASUS Croasshair VII Hero WiFi board with a 2700X https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZX7F49156&Description=asus%20rog%20crosshair%20vii%20hero&cm_re=asus_rog_crosshair_vii_hero-_-13-119-097-_-Product I was watching Der 8auer's video on it, and it...

    One 512GB 970 Pro or 2x 250GB 970 Evo in RAID 0?

    I'm building on an ASUS Crosshair VII AMD board which has two M.2 slots with a direct connection to the CPU. This allows for insane bandwidth when pairing two NVMe drives in RAID 0. Would it generally be better to install 2x 250GB Samsung 970 Evo drives in RAID 0, or 1x 512 GB 970 Pro...

    RANT: Steps forward in RGB quality for fans have been steps back in every other category

    I'm working a new build and I'm on the RGB train. I like pretty colors, whatever, that's me. But I won't sacrifice aesthetics for other conveniences that have already been standardized in the industry. For example. I'm looking for RGB fans that fit the aesthetics I'm looking for and are ASUS...

    Will an EK D-Bay reservoir (2x5.25) fit in the secondary PSU cage in the Lian Li O11 Dynamic?

    I know, I know, the bay reservoir is far inferior to more modern tube reservoirs. But I have an EK D-bay and I just am not ready to get rid of it. I want to get the O11 dynamic. It looks like I can fit the D-Bay in the secondary PSU cage, but I was wondering if anyone has this case and would be...

    Power Surge took out PC, safe to test PSU?

    Can I test a PSU in a new build that may have been damaged in a power surge? I've gotten conflicting opinions so I'm opening a separate thread here to try to get a straight answer. A few weeks ago, a power surge took out my desktop PC. It was getting a bit old so I didn't fall to my knees and...

    *POWER SURGE!* error codes, now completely non-responsive

    So first things first, yes I have my computer plugged into a surge protector. Power surge comes in earlier today. Resets my HTPC, desktop, TV, everything. Everything except my desktop boots back up fine, but I get error codes on the error code display of the motherboard. The code is for...

    Anyone able to buy a video card directly from Nvidia recently? How long are they backordered?

    I just sold my 980Ti for an insane amount of money because I'm moving and won't have a PC up and running for a few months anyway. I clicked the "notify me" button on Nvidia's website for when the reference 1080/1080Ti comes in stock. Has anyone recently purchased a card direct from Nvidia? If...

    Dropped XPS 13 on its corner, small portion of pixels discolored

    So I dropped my beautiful XPS 13 on its corner while closed, and it made a tiny dent. I opened it, and there is a small portion of the upper-left corner that has discolored pixels. They're dark yellow when the screen is black, and they get less noticeable as the screen gets closer to displaying...

    PSA: CableMod's cable sleeving sucks for UV reactivity.

    So I built admittedly crappy PSU extensions from MDPC-X sleeving and automotive wire a few years ago. The results were OK, but as I've been improving my PC over time I wanted to use fully-sleeved cables that had expert craftsmanship and decided to splurge on CableMod cables for my Corsair AX860...

    Why are AF fans typically 4-pin/PWM and SP fans are almost always 3-pin?

    It seems like this almost across-the-board. Is there a specific reason for this? I'd like to get new SP fans for my CPU radiator, but I don't like any of the offerings that come in the 4-pin/PWM flavor.

    People who have spent $1K or more on a monitor, was it worth it?

    Obviously, everyone's situation is incredibly different. To some, spending $1,300 on an Acer Predetor X34 or $1,600 on an LG 38UC99 is unthinkable. To others, it is a huge enabler to their gaming or productivity experience. For me, I'm considering buying the Acer ultra-wide. I already have a 25"...

    Anyone have experience with CableMod's 24pin cable for Corsair AX860?

    I'm wondering because it's not one of the standard cables they sell. I messaged them and they said they could make one along with some PCI-e cables, but it's like $70 shipped. I took the full sleeve off the cables, and realized that there are more than 24 cables; some are doubled up. I've...

    i5 4670K going to ~1.345 vcore with adaptive voltage on

    I'm running AIDA64 for a stability test with a 4670K on an ASRock Z87 Extreme4 with adaptive voltage set at 1.240 volts. Volts at idle are around .7-.8v and at load 1.239-1.345 according to CPU-Z! Is this misreporting or are my volts really spiking that high!? I'd like to keep my volts between...
