Can anyone tell me how I can get Arctis 3 console headphones mic to work with this motherboard? I can only get sound currently. I also need an extension cord bcuz the cord that comes with it is too short. Arctis has some proprietary accessory items, but I’m not sure if that is what I need or if...

Viewsonic has advised me this is abnormal and it should be returned. I hope the replacement does not have similar issues. Thanks all.

It’s mainly noticeable doing things where the screen is bright or dark and not moving vs. in game. Was curious if this was normal or if the screen shouldn’t be exhibiting obvious areas of non-uniform backlight. If it was slight shading light or dark to the side or corners that would be one thing...

So are there any other ‘very cheap’ $300 monitors that have a better reputation and that I may have better luck with? By the way, it’s not ‘very’ overexposed. Those patterns are very clear to the naked eye. I made no adjustments to the photo. I agree I am worried a replacement would exhibit a...

Can anything be done in settings, or is $300 just gonna get me this cheap junk?

The attached photo has lighter areas towards the sides. It seems symmetrical. Is it normal to have these parentheses looking areas? Or does this have to go back? It’s a Viewsonic XG2702.

Gaming headphones with mic work fine through Xbox and front and back of PC. However, when plugged into the jack on the XG2702 monitor, I cannot get mic functionality. Tried with Displayport alone and DisplayPort with USB, neither worked. Viewsonic advertises this as gaming monitor, so assumed...

Found a standoff that fit and the hard drive was recognized. Thanks.

The manual is horrible. The M2 I have is an 80, and the other slot on the mobo is for a 110. The standoff in the 110 slot simply cannot be removed regardless of effort and placed in the 80 position, though it looks like there is a spot for it. Simply inexplicable. Hence there is no way to secure...

Then I’d eat the cost of the current drive, which I’m not going to do. If this board won’t take that drive, though everything says it’s compatible, I’m returning it. I’d rather take it apart and move the M2 than shell out more money. I’ll try that, and if that fails I’ll return the board for a...

So I need to take it all apart. Great. Thanks. Does the empty 4 pin connector mean anything?

It’s compatible. Where do I assign ports in the BIOS? I’ve found nothing like that. This BIOS seems to offer nothing useful. Any BIOS suggestions I’ve seen online, this BIOS doesn’t have any of those options.

I built a PC and the Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboard is not recognizing the WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 2280 Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0B. It’s in the M2B slot. The PSU is short a 4 pin connector for the ATX_12V1. Does it matter? Would that have anything to do with...

I ended up getting the ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2070 DirectX 12 ROG-STRIX-RTX2070-O8G-GAMING 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card for $500. This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I built the PC and the Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboard is not recognizing the WD Blue 3D NAND...

So given that the ASUS is overclocked, has a better cooler design and is basically currently the same price as the others, does that make it the obvious choice?

EVGA is actually the least expensive of the 3, but I believe the other 2 (the ASUS and the Gigabyte) are factory overclocked. I know nothing about manual overclocking. If it’s easy I could learn it, as long as there is no risk. I’d rather not have to do it. Was hoping for more of a consensus...

Which card will perform better, or are they all equal in performance and reliability? For a new build, I have the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Processor and GIGABYTE X470 AORUS Gaming 7 WIFI (AMD Ryzen AM4/ X470/ Intel Wave 2 WIFI/ M.2) Motherboard GPU contenders: 1. ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 2070...

There is no ceiling in the basement, so hopefully one AP in the basement will work. But the Asus RT-N66W must be a total piece of garbage because where it sits in the first floor family room, there is an open air shot to the Master Bedroom door - literally just a stair bannister in between, and...

Sorry, but I have no idea what the second sentence means.

I have looked into these units and keep coming back to the issue of mounting them somewhere in a central location where they would be most effective. I simply cannot do that without running a significant amount of unsightly cabling. The main issue is no 5G signal in the master bedroom, which is...

Well, I didn't think it was relevant to mention the 3 thoroughbred horses I own, 2 of which are running next week in New York, or that the home in question is just the tiny guest home on my vast property. It wasn't my intention to boggle your mind, but you should probably stick to the "money is...

And this will allow for only one network name?

Eero appears to be significantly more expensive than the $250 I was hoping to stay at or under. And the Unifi's appear to need to be mounted on the ceiling, something I am physically unable to do due to a disability. Since I am not very well versed in this technology, I'm not sure I'm any closer...

Hoping to revisit this since I haven't been able to upgrade my network. Now that I have time, I hope to do it. Would like to determine what would be the best solution to ensure 5G coverage throughout the home. Verizon modem is in the basement on the west side (short side) of a 60' x 40' home...

What is a signal-strength meter? Where do I get one? And how would I walk around the house with the router, doesn't it have to be connected to the Ethernet plug? I'm just not that well versed in networks, sorry. And Aluminum said to run a low voltage drop in a ceiling or wall. Huh? What? I'm...

Will one of these be enough? And what is the best placement? I only have the typical wall ports down by the floor and these look like wall or ceiling mount items. Does higher on a wall or on a ceiling provide better coverage, hence the design? Is the UAP-AC-PRO-US that is on Amazon for $129 the...

This sounds really good, but I must admit I would have no clue what most of it means. I have the cable modem in the basement and the FIOS 100/100 up and down plan. Wanted better coverage, so I put the ASUS router on the first floor, but it doesn't help much. The east third of the house cannot...

Would any possible solution come in at $250 or less?

I need help determining how best to maximize the speed and throughput offered by FIOS and also ensure strong wireless coverage throughout the house. FIOS enters and the cable modem is situated at the west end of the basement. The footprint The home has wired Ethernet throughout. Currently, an...
