Asus designs some technically and aesthetically good products but recently their manufacturing or QA of their products have been quite horrible. I have stopped buying Asus products recently because they have all seemed to fail. 2x 3090 strix, 2x...

Never used the stuff so figured I'd stick with what I know. Plus hard to tell the real stuff from the not on amazon. Yeah, still doing that tonight, but if a repaste is a step eventually, might as well get the stuff now instead of having to...

Despite what mr. Jayztwocents is touting, Kryonaut is not something that holds up for a long time. If you think you have pump out now (bs btw) you haven´t seen the low viscosity of that pink stuff yet. And opening a gpu to repaste it just...

ESD or Lightning, both act the same way and are therefore somewhat predictable as in: both choose the path of least resistance. It is safe to use a case if the closet ground/ least resisting path is the psu case-screw and not a button, port or...

I'm watching some playthroughs of Fallout 3 on YT by newcomers to the game and I forgot how much fun it is, and how different it is from Starfield. A well thought out map makes a big difference- the script and voice acting is great as well...

Seeing as how the Starfield engine is the same duct-taped-together engine as Fallout 76, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Morrowind.... I mean, If it ain't broke, why fix it? And if it is broke, well, Bethesda....

Did you understand if they are going to use the same engine as used in starfield? Or did they simply "fear" that the same engine is going to be used?

Final update: new cable works, so either USB-c to dp1.4 or HDMI 4k144hz works to resolve issues with the monitor if the normal HDMI output somehow causes weird colors to appear.

I had a service call today to install a PS5 from a previous PC customer. I got it hooked up with improvements like LAN instead of wifi. Then transferred data from his PS4 to the new PS5. This guy is 81 years old and games everyday. He has had...

I tested it out, it does post with my CPU and RAM, so looks good. Updated the BIOS for them, too. I'll ship it out to them whenever they get their finances together. 50% off is a pretty nice savings lol, this feels like a pretty good mobo...

Secure, cheap and ugly - is how i do it with non-conductive scraps filling the box until nothing moves around anymore. But i always put the hardware in an anti-static bag before. Even the ones suitable for a motherbard are cheap on amzn. Then i...

I use pirate ship to figure out shipping....sometimes a regular box is cheaper than a flat rate box. I've seen where cardboard packed over the cpu socket has been used when there isn't the guard. Maybe you could go back/call and ask microcenter...

"out of video memory" error - that issue i had to fix 6 times now. And 6 out of 6 times the card or the pcie extension cable haven´t probperly been seated in the pcie slot. So forgive me if i have troubles believing that a Korean youngling with...

This whole idea is missing a ton of perspective, I think. To some, high end PC gaming desktop hardware is a hobby, nothing more. Spending $1000-$2000 on a new "thing" for your hobby every few years isn't that unheard of if it makes you happy...

I don´t get you. You are the prime candidate for the business version of that phone. No real bloat and far less, battery draining, tracking.

I've tried 2 or 3 times to start Fallout, even completed several of the main and side quests......but after climbing and then descending my 10th or 15th mountain just to literally get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time, I realized a sad...

Some of Nvidias 3000 gen have issues with running hdmi 2.1 at its fullest. So maybe you want to test this with a compatible monitor (4k/120hz/4.4.4/10bit/VRR/HDR). Not worth it at all if you skimp on a certified hdmi 2.1 cable.

Sometimes those guys can be hard to drive with a regular screwdriver. Get one of these for some extra umph: https://a.co/d/cFR9cRG

thank you so much for your suggestion

You are way beyond using air as a medium to transport heat mate. I´m talking about an AC unit outside with insulated pipes connecting the parts inside. How far beyond is the first question to answer and how to express the value. You simply...
