So this is going to run hotter than my current I5 7600K and MSI 'tri-frozer' 2800 GXT? Built the system in 2015. Been running it around the clock 24/7 100% passive for years. It's in a Fractal Define R7 case with the open grid top panel that lets heat radiate up. Other than running something...

There are a variety of uses. A lot of time at emails, web browsing, etc. during which I require the system be 100% silent. No fan movement whatsoever. The next biggest chunk of time is home theater use which also requires complete silence. The third use is gaming, this could be anything from...

Meant to respond sooner, but got distracted by bright shiny objects or something as usual... The heatsinks you mention. Do they do better than the Skythe Ninja when the system is running 100% passive? I run my system like that the majority of the time, zero fans running at all. The fans just...

The 64 GB RAM is only 'because I can' really. Probably should just use 32. Would an I7 get me anything worth having vs. the I5? So the PCIe 5 SSD will have to wait. I have seen some $329 deals on the WD SN850X 4 TB offered. Might jump that way if I see one. Won't see a 4TB 990 PRO under $400...

Deciding on the parts for a new system. It's for gaming and home theater. Planning on making it a silent/near silent build. Just wondering if I got everything right. Is this RAM compatible? Are the new 10K SSD's worth waiting for? Anything else worth changing/tweaking? Hopefully this link...

I completely agree with the old Celeron 300A post. Stable overclock at 450 every time.

Just found this thread. I wish I had a pic of my Amiga 1000 to post! (Had an Apple II before that, but lots of people had those...)

I have a Samsung QN5580T I use as my monitor. This looks like a curved version with (hopefully) a higher refresh rate, though 60hz is ok for my old eyes. I am mostly happy with this, but 4k seems a bit too stretched on it. A higher res would be nice.

I am surprised the suggesting something this inexpensive, I have been amazingly satisfied with the MPOW X3 earbuds. I have the exact same DT 770 headphones you mentioned. These are not as good, but they do pretty nicely. They are bass heavy. You will want to use something that gives you an...

Brother MFC-7460DN ! Cheap, worked for years already despite abuse, and so far had NO problem with cheap 3rd party toner cartridges. I use the worst cheap junk paper I can find (frequently junk that already has something printed on the other side of it) and get paper jams once in a while. They...

I am looking for a reliable USB Bluetooth adapter. I have a set of earbuds I love and they work fine with my phone. I have tried a couple adapters and the music with both of them had frequent interruptions. I could not get the microphone to work with either of them. The icon with the microphone...

I had not had the chance to get back to this thread and I see there has been lots of really good info posted. I did get a chance to try out a friends Quest 2. I have the questionable fortune of having an unusually large head. I cannot go to the store to buy a hat, they don't fit! It was...

This sounds interesting, where would I find out more?

I can do what I feel like pricewise. It's more about the value to me than the price. If it actually does enough to be worth it, then I'm willing to spend the $800 someone mentioned above. If I get more value out of the other one that would be more my inclination. Game wise, I honestly don't know...

I am looking at jumping into the world of VR displays. I'm not in a hurry and don't mind waiting for new products to hit the market. I already have an RTX 2080 card. I'm wondering what might be my best options for the best VR experience available. thanks

Make sure the bios in the motherboard you get lets you fine-tune the fan controls. Sure, I have the quietest fans out there, a giant heatsink for the CPU. A triple fan 2080 GPU with a huge heatsink, etc. etc. All the things for the quietest computer possible. However most of the time none of...

Might want to bug them for a price match on the Echo Dot. Just got one for $18.99 with 6 months music unlimited for free. Total Before Tax: Estimated Tax...

I have large hands as well. If you decide to try a left-handed vertical mouse. I tried pretty much every single one on Amazon that was under $80. This is the one I settled on. https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PERIMICE-718-Handed-Wireless-Mouse/dp/B06XK81TPK

What the title says. I'm looking for a gaming laptop with a 1660ti. Of course it's going to make noise while gaming, but I want one that is completely dead silent when word processing or web surfing. Hopefully under $1000. Intel chipset not AMD. Thanks

not yet, it's just talk so far

Did the 20% coupon still have a $100 max?

Thanks. The system is already left on 24/7 for other reasons. Might the extra load of running this increase the electric cost more than it would be worth?

So, how does someone who has no serious interest in mining, but has a 1060 sitting idle at least 18 hours a day get started getting a bit of spare cash out of it?

Make the airline pay for sure. They paid to fix my wheelchair after they banged it up.

By the time they make a car like that, I would think the electric ones should be able to pull up to a fast charge station to 'fuel up' all by themselves while you sleep...

If net neutrality does not stand, the only thing left to do will be hit your ISP's where it hurts them most, $$$. EVERY time a website is slow to load or does not work, call them, tell them you are not getting the service you are paying for, and demand a refund for that days service. Thousands...

So much for that idea. Same behavior with a "high speed" HDMI cable.

I am running it in 4K at 60hz. Everything is working fine other than this black screen on power up. My GPU is not even close to a 9xx, just an old 660ti. I really expected much less from it than it is doing. It is running D3 and Borderlands Pre Sequel just fine at 4K at 60hz. I figured they...

I have something of a puzzle here with a Samsung 48" 6700. If I have the output set to 60 Hz when powered on, it comes up with a black screen. If I have it set to 30 Hz at power on and then switch the output to 60 Hz, it works fine. I have UDH mode on. I am using a DVI to HDMI cable, I don't...
