    Is my modem or router not up to the task?

    I will try this sub-forum for my question: Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps...

    Is my modem or router not up to the task?

    Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps for upload, so this is not the bottleneck...

    Not able to connect to printer, wifi router

    Today when I was trying to print a document from the home printer (I rarely use the printer at home) I found out that it's off the network, furthermore I could not connect to the wifi router (192.168.1.1). But it worked when I booted to safe mode w/networking (I am using Win10). I am using...

    Ryzen or Core for budget built (non-game)

    Not sure if this is the right place to post it, I am going to build a PC (around $400) for work, and the most CPU intensive application I will use is handbrake encoding. If I go with Ryzen I would need to get a discreet GPU, so I wonder if I put that money in an Intel processor would it yield...

    Any better 16:10 monitors besides U2415?

    Recently I purchased the Dell U2415 to replace my 11-year old Eizo 4:3 monitor in my office. I picked 16:10 mainly for productivity and it's PWM-free backlighting. While this is a good monitor I feel the contrast can be a bit higher (~850 measured using i1DP as opposed to 1000 in the specs) and...

    What's a good 32'' 1440p display?

    I am looking for a 32'' 1440p display under $800, (4K seems still too expensive, unless a 4k TV happen to offer better viewing experience then I may reconsider) what's a popular choice here? It's mainly for general viewing, less for gaming. I was looking at Asus PB328Q, it has good reviews with...

    Two more Eizo EV2736W arrived, one is a keeper

    I recently purchased an Eizo EV2736W but wasn't very happy with it due to some back light bleeding (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1720480&page=9), so I returned it and bought two more. After both arrived today I placed them side by side, and hit the power button, here what I captured...

    LED backlight and eye comfort

    Last time I was watching movies on Eizo 2736W and I still think my old Eizo L768 which uses CCFL backlight is easier on the eyes. If the ambient light in my room is 2800K lightbulb, should I calibrate my monitor to D65 white point (6500k temp) or lower?

    Overclock Intel HD 4600

    Does anyone know how to set the clock multiplier in Asus Z87 Pro BIOS? I see the option for CPU Graphics voltage but not the multiplier setting. I can do it in Intel extreme tuning utility but it's not a permanent solution. p.s. in case you wonder why OC HD 4600, it's not for gaming, I just...

    I was running Passmark 8 on my 4770k (stock speed) and the overall CPU score was lower than the 3770k reference. In the breakdown of each test I notice the 4770k was lagging behind the 3770k in all but one test (prime numbers), the biggest two were the following: About 5% slower? Do any of...

    madVR on Intel HD 4600

    I recently built a PC with i7-4770k CPU and also bought a 2560x1440 monitor. So I thought this machine should be able to handle any 1080p movies I throw at it, I set madVR chroma and image scaling to the highest (Jinc 3 taps with AR) setting. When a 1080p movie is playing at its native...

    First of all sorry if this topic has been debated to death before. Basically I am looking for a high quality 27'' monitor and it will be used primarily for movies and web browsing (I know most ppl here are gamers but I am not one, lol), color accuracy is fairly important as long as colors in the...
