    Troubleshooting Desktop Failure, Some Moral Support?

    Swap out the GPU and test, after unplugging everrything else. I had a G92 card go dead short before and took out the PSU with it. Barring that, probably the mobo

    HP SFP to CX4

    Yes that cable looks like the best option, since you have the CX4 version of that switch. Cx4 was meant for short distance direct attachment. XFP is the corresponding standard for optical.

    Is there a good cost-be-damned 4K 37-43" 120Hz monitor?

    It seems like you have firmware problems with the screen. None of that should be happening. I would try contacting ASUS support

    Is there a good cost-be-damned 4K 37-43" 120Hz monitor?

    For a 43 inch 4k, I chose to save my money and get a TCL 43S405. The newer versions have higher max brightness and even lower input lag but are still under $300 for a good general use VA panel with an intuitive and easy to use interface. It will be enough to hold me over until HDMI 2.1 at least...

    Powerline Network Question

    MoCA (Media over Coax Alliance) is a standard for networking over coax cable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_over_Coax_Alliance This standard is in wide use for FiOS installations. The filter I was referring to is where the coax enters your residence, you need a MoCA filter (pretty...

    Powerline Network Question

    Do you not have coax runs near the endpoints? Because MoCA offers near gigabit speeds and reliability, assuming you can access the splitter and install a filter.

    Powerline Network Question

    Just to be clear, there is NO other type of wiring anywhere near the endpoints? Because powerline is really a last resort

    So, it turns out that 5700 cards won't work on Windows 8.1...

    It amuses me that every time there is a thread on certain topics (Windows versions other than 10, Star Citizen...) there are certain members that come to jump all over it with some evangelized counterpoint. Please calm down, the world is not ending because someone bought a video game you dont...

    Are m2 sata and m2 nvme enclosures supposed to be cross compatible?

    M.2 drives are physically keyed different for SATA or PCI-E. In order to support both drive types, a USB enclosure would require 2 physical M.2 slots, as well as seperate controllers for each slot. On the left is "B key," which is used for SATA drives, and on the right is "M key," which is...

    2500K Sandy Bridge PC/Which GPU?

    2500K Sandy Bridge PC/Which GPU?

    So there are many cards between $100-150 to choose from, including gtx 980, 1060, rx580. They will all run 1080p high in most games no problem. Since you have a 560ti, it might be less hassle to go with a nv card as you would only need a couple reboots with a driver less than a year old and be...

    Uber Eats eating restaurant profits.

    Just curious, how would you prefer to pay for the extra cost of delivery? You seem to want everyone to pay the same price whether its delivery or not? Which would mean the restaurant loses non delivery ccustomers and/or loses money on every delivery. Also, how much do you think delivery drivers...

    How Slow do TLC SSD Writes Really Get?

    "Portable" gaming: NUC or laptop?

    finding a 1000 watt psu

    When you are talking about a 2 socket system pulling over 850w with multi gpus in a server setting (with the other hardware costing several thousand dollars) why would you worry about a less than $100 difference in PSU cost? Seasonic has a well deserved reputation for top quality power supplies...

    No, gpu core frequency. Ps2 is probably not going to run 100+fps regardless of system, but you are definately not gpu bound. Get your cpu clocks up by following a guide like this: https://www.tweaktown.com/guides/7481/tweaktowns-ultimate-intel-skylake-overclocking-guide/index.html
