My laptop is showing its age, and I can't afford to upgrade at the moment. So, I was thinking about using GeForce Now service. However, the free version has to many limits such as long que times, low resolution and poor video quality. The free version is a downgrade for me. I only have a 1080p...

I agree in that this is not the best possible solution, but It is about all I can do on this budget. I am on a fixed income of not much and I am really limited as to what I can do. Even if it is a side grade at best at least I can upgrade it a part at a time unlike the laptop. I just want to...

My laptop is about 4 years old and has a Intel i7 10750h CPU (6 core 12 thread at a max of 4.8ghz), 16gb of 2933mhz DDR4, Nvidia RTX2060 w/ 6gb dedicated memory. I am wanting to upgrade to a desktop. I have a pretty tight budget at the moment. I am currently using a 27" 1080p 144hz 1ms display...

I am using a Xbox One X controller. Really happy with it, I use it over Bluetooth however I also have the PC wireless adapter but I don't notice any difference using it so to free up clutter I don't use it. If you don't want wireless you can always plug it in with a Micro USB cable. I am...

I agree PCIe 5 is not a something I should be considering. I don't think we will see anything that will benefit from it for a while. As for the Gen5 SSD, I don't plan to start out with a Gen5 as currently there too expensive and yes, they do run very hot. I was thinking/hoping that in the next...

I am going to start buying parts for a computer build. I am either going to buy the Thermaltake Tower 100 or 200 depending on which motherboard I am going to get. I am open for Ryzen 5 7xxx series or Intel i5 13th or 14th gen CPU. I would like to go with a Mini ITX build but the only motherboard...

Feel free to make me an offer, it is still available.

If all you care about is that I got the price wrong of the GPU and the AMD "Branded" GPUs you are totally missing the point!

My bad....Gigabyte $1500 AMD Video card...you are right, AMD doesn't sell video cards, they sell the GPU Chip that goes onto the video card that is made by others like Gigabyte.

Wanted to update this post. I just replayed the Xbox Version of Starfield. Now that it has DLSS built in and I don't have to run a mod. Running on the Medium preset w/ DLSS and 50% resolution scale I am getting 60-75 fps most of the time, some dips to about 45 from time to time. But the image...

I got the monitor, to answer one of my questions yes you can get audio over the hdmi but the speakers really are low volume at 100% there barely loud enough to be usable. What would be some good cheap speakers, something about $20 that will get me by for a couple months. (Christmas is killing my...

Hi, I have a Asus VG278 Monitor in Layaway at a local pawn store (It is like new in the box). I had been looking at getting a cheap monitor to use with my laptop and seen this on sale while I was with a friend at a local pawn shop.I have a couple questions about it that may apply to other...

Stop telling me to put a hole in my desk, I might just do it! Seriously though, I do have a Antec 200mm fan from case I use to have, a hole in my desk to match and a foam gasket to force the air through the laptop would help alot and I wouldn't have the issue of the laptop being raised up so...

I had seen versions of those type of feet, problem I have is that the bottom of my laptop has the vents back there and there is little room to adhere them to the bottom. The feet I got are a little problematic finding the right place for them at first but once I do find the right placement I...

I got the Klim Everest cooler. It did help alot with temps however having 2 fans the harmonics made the sound unbearable for me as well as how high the keyboard was from the desktop I had to return it. I am going to get the IETS GT500 it only has a single but larger fan sound should be lower...

If you want the Steam Link, Xbox Controller, and USB Cable I will let it go for $50 Shipped.

I have for sale a "Vintage" Steam Link. It is in really good condition. I have openend it up to see why it is so dang heavy for its size. There is a solid block of metal being used as a heatsink. It has no fins, just a plain block of metal, not sure what as it is pretty heavy for its size. Item...

I am once again looking for a Laptop cooler. I am still having issues with CPU Thermal Throttling as well as I would like to raise the screen as it is now the top of the screen is below the level of my eyes. I don't have much hopes of one solving my heat issues as the main reason I am...

I used a dental pick and 91% alchahol and cleaned out the jack the best I could. It seems to have fixed it. I got the largest Dentipick I could find. CVS doesn't have much selection. Wal-Mart had the larger size and it is probably just the right size for the job.

Was going through some storage bins and found my old Steam Link. I had barely used it before, I only got it cause they had a black fridy sell for $5 I think. Is there any current mods for it? All I could find was stuff from 5 years ago and the links are not updated. It was pretty heavy for it's...

I am getting a 24" monitor and Iwould like to mount it above the laptop screen to use as a secondary display. Mainly for Discord, Afterburner graph, ect. The top of my laptop screen is about 11.5 inches above the desk and is 5 inches from the wall. My desk has a full size mousepad so the mount...

I got it on Xbox Pc Game Pass so no loss. I only mentioned BG3 because of how new it was and how highly it was reviewed. I don't think I would like it as it is turn based and I have not liked any of those in the past. I know it is time to upgrade from my Laptop. I have an Amazon Wishlist with...

I guess the point I am trying to make is that I don't think the problem is my Laptop. Maybe the games I listed are just made for high end current PCs and to hell with everyone else. I don't see any reason why the game has to look so bad on lower settings. Why do I have to mod the game to get it...

First My Specs: Lenovo Legion 5 17" 1080p 144hz Intel i7 10750h (most of the time runs at 4.2 to 4.8ghz, does Thermal Throttle to 3.8ghz once in a while). Nvidia RTX 2060 (1935mhz) 16gb Dual Channel @2933 WD Black SN770 2tb SSD Gen4 Drive in a Gen3 slot, runs about 3500mb/s I have been really...

Ok, thank you. From what I have seen the DDC Pump is higher pressure but less flow than a D5, so in my case may be a better choice. I don't have anything for the build just yet, kind of "Window Shopping" but watercooling is something I have been wanting to do for a while. I was looking at pics...

I am looking to build an AMD 7800X3D system in a Thermaltake Tower 200 using an MicroATX Motherboard. I have never worked with watercooling or even used an AIO system before. I have been building my own systems sense getting a Celeron 333 system. This Laptop I have now is my first "Prebuilt"...

Ok, thank you. I will give it a try. I watched a video on Youtube and they really made a mess of it but it did work.

Are you talking about replacing the pads on the V-Ram and such? How much you think I would need, 10, 20, 60grams?

Well Damn. CPU has been thermally throttling. I have seen temps as high as 95. I am just going to stop watching the temps and play my games. There is nothing more I can really do anyway. Started playing Starfield. I have to play on low settings to get 60fps average, and does it ever look like...

Ok, I did the SSD test first. There was a 34c drop in temps! That is huge, I wasn't expecting that much of a drop. I will do the CPU and GPU tests here in a bit and post the results. I played some Lost Ark. I am not going to post any large pics this time cause there's really nothing to show...

Ok, it is done. Here is some pics of the process: Before/After cleaning the cores, the old paste flaked off so it was pretty dry. One of the thermal pads over the video memory came apart a little. I do not have a replacement so hopefully it doesn't have any issues. Here is a couple pics of...

Is there a way to get a full screenshot of an app that is longer than the screen? I have to scroll to see the whole table but I would like to capture all of it in one single pic. Before Results: No overclock and I have the laptop set to performance mode. CPU, I ran Aida64 Stability test. You can...

Thank you, I don't have an interdental brush but I did roll up a alcohol pad tightly and managed to get it into the jack and spun it around to clean it. I will pick up some of those brushes and clean it further however. When I redo the thermal paste i will also see what I can do then to...

Thank you, My Phone doesn't have a headphone jack so I have a couple USB-C headphone dongles, I do have 1 USB-C port on this laptop but it is in the back and not really convenient. I also have a Turtle Beach Atlas Edge USB DAC. If needed I will get a better quality DAC. I am going to be redoing...

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 17" Laptop, it is about 3 years old. Intel 10750h CPU and Nvidia RTX2060. I have KZ ZSN Pro headphones. I do not have the stock cable with the headphones, I changed it to a cable with mic. The last week or so when I plug in the headphones I will only get some static in...

Would THESE thermal pads be good to get sense I won't know what thickness I will need? [edit] I was looking for a better app to see the SSD temps and found HWinfo64. I opened it and ran a Crystal Disk Mark benchmark. It shows 3 different temps. Drive temp 2 "Current temperature of the NAND...

The feet have rubber/silicon top and bottoms. The feet are big enough there's enough contact with the laptops feet that it makes for a stable connection. I haven't had any problems with movement. I don't know how rough you are when your playing games however. I rarely feel the need to move the...

I was looking at the pic of the inside of my laptop and it got me thinking. I am currently transferring 256gb of data to an external SSD and I noticed the SSD in my Laptop is reaching 60c (~350MB/s) and after a while the transfer slowed down big time. Would it be a good idea to grab a heatsink...

I have one of those cables with the built in meter as well (SooPii, 100watt). It is normally off by up to 3-4 watts according to Accubattery. But is still a good tool for watching charge speeds. When plugged into the wireless charge stand I see it draws 13 watts but the phone shows 8watts. I...

Found out yesterday to get Accubattery to show "Last full Charge" info the charge has to be uninterrupted. I discharged it to 13% hooked it up to a 25watt PD charge to see what speed it would charge at. Got 15watts, before I switched to the Wireless charge to test out different chargers and...
