I know this is old, but thought I'd add. Creative's whole business model is on maximizing sounds quality through cheap headsets and speakers. They have optimized their stuff for that, and it works. If you want better sound quality, buy better speakers and a better amp. By the time you start...

Never play around with electronics while they are powered.... Bad things happen

Yes, gaming laptops have made this the norm. I like it. Replace 2 connectors with 1 and have complete backwards compatibility. No brainer.

Don't be afraid of cheaper chinese options; https://senville.com/ unless you legit need to actively cool this room while its -10 outside.... Then you're probably doing something illegal if you're asking questions here.

I'm not sure if I'm less concerned that the us is keeping all this technology for itself or not. Trying to at least. A growing part of me wants to just say fuck everything and live in the forest with a couple pigs and some chickens. Edit Actually pigs are ass holes, ducks.

No, you'll just add more heat to the room due to efficiency losses. You could drill a hole in the wall and vent it out that way, but those ac units are painfully inefficient. The mini split types are way better, if only a little more complicated to install It would actually get hotter.

Those street view facial recognition cameras arent gonna detect themselves.

Technically it was a display adapter and 3d accelerator. Buzz words.

Hire an inspector that specializes in electrical. Or hell just hire an electrician to give it a look and ask him if its safe. They know the codes, and the consequences. Fuses are still perfectly acceptable for new installs in my area. Just no one does because Breakers are WAAAYYYY Better...

Oddly enough this thought never crossed my mind (bigger concerns than a gaming PC, idk /s) but yes. Hire a knowledgeable inspector, who can actually walk in and look at the place. If it's good enough for general use, it's good enough for a PC. Buy a UPS, use surge protectors.

Properly installed and maintained gas heat is really the best way to go. Most efficient and generally cheaper

Usually no matter what it is you have to change something and control this. Central heating is usually a semi complex machine

Just glad they moved on from donkey-kicks

"computer, please identify the switch port connected to Mr burns office terminal" "Sure Homer, you'll find Mr burns office terminal port is flashing red" "Thanks computer, I owe you a beer. Cya at Moe's after work"

Pound force inch... It's backwards because the guys that wrote this don't understand "metric", where everything is in Newton-meters (force - distance). It's inch pounds, or yes about 3 ugga-duggas, 4 if an umpa lumpa is singing in the background.

Theres all kinds of option for tube routing. I've since installed another one of these units with 3 indoor heads, two of which are in rooms on the other side of the house. You just need a sloped drain to get rid of the condensate, and your tubing and electrical can be up to 50 ft long. It can...

This would put two new GPUs in my house if true

I don't think that's how generational advancements are priced...

I'm thinking simulation simulator sounds better... Tag line, life's just a simulation anyway, get with the program

Seriously miss the days when these items were reviewed by competent review houses. The ai click bait/user generated reviews and shitty videos we get now drive me nuts

$82 for a rubber duck, $5 for your body (soul?) For the company

For context, details in this how to thread. https://hardforum.com/threads/i-microwaved-a-r9-390x-gaming-and-now-my-pc-wont-run-after-3rd-time.2009782/ Microwave some popcorn first In all seriousness the oven reflow method has worked to resurrect lots of cards for people if anything on the...

RazorWind This guy has all the know about these things around here. Hoping he doesn't mind the referral.

Sorry, I got busy and didn't get around to it. Hope you got it sorted

What aspect ratio? Size of cake? Around here cake places will do that kind of minor graphic editing for you, but I can drop those things together on a JPG for you

For like an inkjet rice paper cake kinda thing?

First SSD I bought failed. I still don't trust them

I think you're right. Subbed just in case something gets put in the microwave

Auto correct and spell check defeated?

Most software is free. I understand the costs involved with making and managing these things, its a pity we cant land somewhere in between everyone must pay for us to live on yachts, and starving developer maintaining software and living in a sewer. I also understand why we cant. own guns...

Ahh, right. I always filter by sold by Newegg before I start even looking on their site

Not trying to go off topic, but what's the issue with Newegg?

What a strange request I just bought some creative pebble 2.0s that I'm super happy with. Only complaint is the cords are too short and I needed to buy extensions. Looks are subjective so ymmv

Never thought of that, yes zen1 and 2 did struggle hitting xmp at times

Exactly, that's still a cpu issue as far as I'm concerned. The Ram issue is also cpu related, as the memory controller lives on the CPU. This is a cheap experiment. I also recommend this. I don't expect this would fix the cpu/ram issues though.

This is looking more and more like a cpu issue.

use CPUz to confirm ram speed, not task manager. Task manager is showing your ram as 2133mhz ram, because thats what it is. 3000mhz is an overclock speed.

It's not that big of a deal. Honestly I do it every time I change a major component (cpu mobo or GPU). Biggest issue is backing everything up, and properly understanding what is happening on your hard drives

I've been wanting that for years. Doubtful

I'm going to assume the cost to create and maintain Windows 7 drivers far exceeds the $50 they stand to make from a sale to you.
