    Poll: To Rebuild or Not Rebuild?

    This is an arbitrary poll but perhaps you'll indulge me. I have two gaming PC's. One is an HTPC with mATX form factor, the other is a desktop PC with ATX form factor. I bought a MSI RTX 4090 Gaming X (Slim) card for my HTPC, and I knew it would be a tight fit. After receiving it today, I was...

    Unable to use any SOCKS5 Proxy - but was previously working

    Hello [h], Over the last 24 hours I've been obsessing over an issue that I have no idea how to fix. For the last month I've been using a SOCKS5 proxy to play a certain game on a specific server that is across the USA from me. I've been using Win2Socks to facilitate the connection. For the last...

    Fastest VPN? (Torrenting)

    Has anyone researched to see which VPN provides the best speeds, specifically for torrenting? Legally, of course. I understand the torrent part may be redundant, but I figured it was worth mentioning for this specific use case. I've noticed that it's pretty difficult to find any informed...

    LAN Gaming - Good memories

    Does anyone here miss LAN gaming and have any memories to share? To make it clear I'm obviously not talking about network tunneling. Some of my favorite gaming memories was hopping on the Quake 3 demo during "study time" in my science class with a couple of classmates and playing against...

    So I've uncovered what appears to be an extremely significant issue with the Steam Deck. It's affecting a huge amount of the people who own it and as far as I know, there's no acknowledgment from Valve about their timeline on fixing the issue or on the gravity of the issue itself. A little...

    First Impressions Thread

    I didn't see a thread for this, so I'm putting my first impressions here and inviting others to share their first impressions as well. - Initial Steam setup process kept failing for me. A little research revealed it doesn't play well with 5.0 Ghz Wifi during initial setup. Manually set it to...

    Battling with ISP over ports

    Hey guys - I moved out of the city a few months back and I'm stuck with some shitty rural satellite internet because I live in the middle of nowhere. The worst part? All of the ports are always closed and I can't open them. I suspect it has something to do with the router they provided. I'm not...

    Display driver crashes when primary display is turned off for 5+ minutes

    Having a weird issue, was hoping someone here has an idea (you guys always come through for me). I have an LG CX 77" as a monitor and a Marantz Sr5014 receiver hooked up to my EVGA 3090. I noticed lately that if I turn my LG screen off for more than five minutes, I'm unable to get any HDMI...

    Upgraded A/V Receiver - "Buzzing" sound through speakers in new games

    My HTPC setup is an Intel i9-9900k, 16GB Ram, EVGA 3090 RTX Ultra FTW3 edition, LG OLED 77" CX with a Marantz SR5014 receiver. I would describe the buzzing noise as a loud hum. Sort of like a loud hum that you would hear from certain street-lights at night. It can easily be drowned out by other...
