I'm just wondering how or why people buy F model CPUs. I mean there's the Ryzen 5 4500 CPU in Canada selling for $110 Canadian but if you look at the Radeon RX 6400 and GeForce GTX 1630 video cards are both above $200 Canadian. So, what would you go for for a lower cost solution?

I think it should be 9 months so they can work out the bugs. The last time I bought one of my motherboards I had to do a BIOS flash so I could view the video through some video ports.

If anyone wanted to take a peek at this one. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-6-gb/

I was looking at the Antec NX416L and wondering if dust would look too obvious on top of it (if I chose the white model). It would be cool to find a micro-ATX model with a slot for an optical drive though. It looks pretty sweet for a case.

I know it's a paranoid question but because someone lost a computer I wanted to give to my mother I was thinking of getting a 5000 series G model CPU for my mother. Since I know the LGA 1700 socket needs an adapter around the CPU and doing that invalidates the warrantee for the CPU, do I need...

I understand a lot of people got bored of 14nm++++++++++. I was thinking though if you want a more "refined and corrected" version of a CPU, are they going to repeat the Lunar Lake and Panther Lake architectures in the future or is it going to be very different architectures from one generation...

I have a computer with Win10 and 16GB of RAM. I usually watch streaming videos and video chat rooms at the same time but RAM usage gets high often. Is there a browser setting like video buffer I can change to change that?

This might be a useless question for some people but I just bought an Intel i5-11400 to replace an i5-10400. Why? There are at least 3 reasons. First, Intel had already announced the end of support for Comet Lake CPUs. Second, the super video resolution (whatever it's called again), is...

I just installed an old video card to see if it worked then went back to onboard video and all of a sudden there's no video. Any guesses what I have to do?

This sounds like a funny one but is there a way to click on "set default font" like say if you choose Gadugi size 12 and it reverts automatically sometimes to Calibri size 11. (I mean Wordpad in Win10.)

https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/microsoft-ending-windows-10-updates-4322229?utm_source=keystone&utm_medium=keystone_core_reviews_rss&utm_campaign=trusted+reviews So it says 22H2 but I'm seeing 21H2 on my machine. When I click on Update I don't see 22H2.

Is the Gigabyte B560M-DS3H too cheap to have the rainbow option? Right now I can only put the RGB fans on one color at a time. Would the Fusion driver from another motherboard work?

I know it's kind of an old case now but since I installed a Thermalright RGB fan that came with a Thermalright heatsink inside an Antec GX 202 case. I already had installed 2 Cooler Master RGB fans at the front. The Thermalright fan ended up being not as bright but also a shade darker in...

Does anyone know how to do that? I tried starting the game as usual and it freezes on "Receiving Title Update". That's all I have on the screen.

I mean next time they come out with a new card say an RTX 4050 Ti or RX 7500, how long should I wait before I buy to avoid defective products? Apart from the Nvidia and Radeon issues right now, I waited months before buying a motherboard that was BIOS version P2.30 instead of P1.30 (that was...

Comet Lake, Rocket Lake, Alder Lake & Raptor Lake selling at the same time. Have you seen this before? Only thing is, I read Meteor Lake is delayed. 🌌

Does anyone agree with this? Lately when looking at cases I don't even know if I can bother. They're now putting a sort of metal barrier above the power supply that hides the power supply and hard drives. I don't think this is ideal for either the PSU or HD temperatures. I prefer to have a...

I just read Intel plans on eliminating support for their older iGPUs but this includes the Comet Lake processor which only came out like 2 years ago (which they're still selling right now). Does AMD ever end support for its APUs?

I was hoping for a long while to buy the RTX 3050. I couldn't really accept the prices. Some of the reasons though were because I bought things earlier without anticipating what was going to happen. Like I bought a Corsair CX 450 watt power supply for example. I usually prefer to have some...

I mean I installed a new video card in my machine. Windows 10 seems to assume I'm still using the Intel video on my CPU. So when I clicked to check if I had new updates it went ahead and downloaded and installed an Intel video driver even though I had already installed the latest Nvidia...

I mean I just saw a Youtube video about Windows 11 describing the issues. Then I saw of course they had come out with patches for the Ryzen CPUs and also read you have to buy an adapter for Alder Lake CPUs to prevent bending. So, is this acceptable for billion dollar businesses or should...

I have a SSD with Win8 & Linux Mint. If I want to install Win10 on the SSD and reformat everything. My motherboard is an ASRock B560M-HDV and I'm not sure if you can choose Boot priority the way the BIOS is made now.

Has anyone even noticed this? I saw it on the Intel web page then decided to google, looks like it's not very popular but a pretty cool idea anyway, even if it's mobile. I mean the Alder Lake Pentium Gold 8500 & 8505. (There's even a second 8505 that has a minimum 12 watt power usage...

I mean the one that was supposed to use a bit less electricity. And does anyone know why there's such a huge gap in prices between the 1650 and 3050? I mean in Canada it doesn't look like they want to lower the price too much on the 3050. Availability better, prices only slightly better lately.

I searched on the Internet and it's not clear to me. I clicked to show hidden files and folders and found an Aero theme. But I don't see it in the themes I can choose. EDIT: Oops, I think maybe I found the reason it's there. I see a see-through option on the appearance section although it...

The Newegg calculator says total 390 watts with motherboard, 1TB M.2 SSD, 2TB HD, one DVD-RW (probably irrelevant), 3 case fans + on the heatsink, 2 sticks of RAM and i5-11500. I haven't looked at the power limits for the CPU in the BIOS but I want to run stock speeds on both the CPU and GPU...

This question might sound dense but I mean if you look at RAM timings and it says Auto, how can you determine what the RAM timings are? (I want to run at stock speeds, just curious to know.)

Years ago I used to install drivers then do Windows Updates. The last time I was rushing and did the Windows Updates before installing drivers. So if I wanted to re-install certain drivers is it better to re-install Windows or is it realistic to just delete some drivers and then use the mobo...

OK, some people might laugh. I don't even know if my mother would even play a video game. However, I wanted to build a computer with an Intel i5-10400 (prices are good now) for my mother. And just to show off the capabilities of the CPU I was wondering if there's any games that could play on...

Who would prefer a stock cooler that takes a screw-in replaceable 92mm fan? Or even an option to buy an Intel CPU heatsink that takes a replaceable 92mm fan with heatpipes?

Both have Corsair CX 450 power supplies and AsRock B560M-HDV motherboards. One has an i5-10400 with 16GB HyperX RAM, WD 256GB SSD & WD 2TB HD. The other has an i5-11500 with 16GB Crucial Ballistix RAM, WD 1TB SSD & WD 2TB HD. Both machines turn on, however there's no video at all on two...

I looked at the US and Canadian prices. This is only a good deal though if you can find a good motherboard for it. But who would go for this? I mean the 12400 might be coming out but since I read people are irked at DDR5 availability, this might be a solution.

I'm not use to running two drives. If I have SSD and HD, can I put some games from Epic Games on my SSD and others on the HD?

that actually makes sense. The other day I transferred a motherboard to another case and could not believe this is 2021. I mean you have to manipulate these tiny little connectors that make you want to go INSANE. How can anyone overlook this?

They seem to be either too expensive or out-of-stock. (Just saying. I'm not complaining because in the last few months I got a Rocket Lake and a Comet Lake at OK prices.)

or even GPUs. They used to talk about gains in efficiency but now they're talking more and more cores which will use more and more power (even GPUs). Would you go down to an i3 just to have a more efficient CPU?

Is there a huge reason to go for the 5350G? (Posted with the assumption some might be available for a diy build.)

I used to be able to sort of shake the phone during a call to see the numbers so I could choose departments etc. Now, when I place a call after updating to Android 7.1 it goes black and stays black. Is there a setting on the phone to change this or am I kind of out of luck?

What is the possible rationale. I mean they re-introduced the GTX 1650 but no RTX 3050 Ti for desktop?

I'm wondering about the availability of the Antec NX130 in North America. I mean this case has the following: -side window -mesh front -no fan holes on top or sides -space for optical drive -front-facing USB ports and power buttons -sleek design The only thing I'd want I'd don't see is a...
