    Anyone else retro console gaming on a 4k TV? If so I need help!

    Whatever your posting from could emulate the roms and output HDMI out to your tv I'm betting. If you need the controller feeling buy a USB to nes adapter. With emulators you get better save states. Rewind and more.

    Got my first RTX card

    I did it. Upgraded from my fantastic gigabyte gtx 1070ti card to a msi ventus 3 4070ti. Got it for MSRP. Expensive. Driver 528.02 I've been finishing up my playthrough of GTA 5 and sadly 4k no MSAA 90fps capped it still dips under the cap. Was hoping for a lot better than that. Might ddu drivers.

    How to google search and where buy an Inductor for the external 2.5 hard drive encloser components

    Just to add to this... Using a DMM,Coils will check shorted. Capacitors should not check shorted. Also agree about buying a new one unless this is academic.

Swapping it with another mouse of the same model it went away so snapped some kailh gm 8.0's from amazon (one day shipping for once). So far they feel pretty nice at the desktop, will have...

    Is it worth upgrading to Windows 11?

    What is your use case? Games...video editing...office productivity...etc I doubt there would be a performance uplift for a intel 9400f. I went to Windows 11 back in December after upgrading my system to alder lake. It so far has been mostly stable. Personally don't like the appearance...

    Is it normal for a 2003 game to use 100% of 1 CPU core on modern CPU

    Are you playing at the same resolution with no widescreen mods. Did you play at 1024x768 back when. I did not play this game, but played my games between 800x600 to 1024x768. If lucky at 1280x1024. 1280x1024 vs 1080 is like 58% more pixels.

    Can Optane be used to accelerate non-OS HDD?

    Intel rst and optane will only accelerate a boot drive. You can accelerate the hdd with a ssd or optane using primocache software as a L2 cache. They have a 30 day trial if you want to give it a shot. I got 2x 16gb optane drives as spanned storage in windows as read L2 cache for my Samsung...

    Got around 100hrs now. Close to 500 cars. Finished all the solo races. Just doing SP farm grind last few days. They really don't give enough credits for racing. I have a hard time putting the game down even after finishing almost everything. Need to move onto other xbox gamepass games now.

    Currently using i7-6700k - what to move to for better single-threaded performance?

    Got a 12700k with mobo and 32GB ddr4 3600MHz a few weeks ago. It's a nice upgrade over the i7-4790k I was using. Still using my Windows 10 install. Here is a shot of CPU-Z with my 12700k vs a 6700k. I am running stock clocks btw.

    Disable IGP on msi z690-a ddr4?

    Thanks E4g1e. That did it. Wish Bios would have explained it but I digress. lol Also for anyone with sleep problems Make sure you enable the Wake by USB setting in the bios. Even after the new official 1.10 bios I could not wake from sleep until I enabled it and also did Wake by PCIe as well.

    Disable IGP on msi z690-a ddr4?

    Just bought a 12700k and msi-z690-a ddr4. I do not see anything about turning off the gpu in the cpu. Is this not a thing on alder lake or just my board or am i missing the setting? TIA

    Poll: Alder Lake owners: were you able to get a cooling solution for LGA 1700?

    $600 conundrum, 1080ti vs 3060

    Take the fan off and ziptie a 120mm fan to it. Problem solved. Wish i would have bought a 1080ti years ago for $500 but got a 1070ti for $275 instead. Would be sitting pretty through these shortages and not have a itch to upgrade.

    Will never buy an Intel CPU again.

    Sucker. Who didn't see ddr5 shortages and scalping happening. Just sell ddr5 board and buy ddr4 board like stated earlier. By the looks of things I will be using my 4790k rig till 2023 or 24 waiting for good ddr5 ram anyways.
