Hi all, I have an ASRock x99 Extreme4 and just installed a Samsung Evo 970 M.2 NVME drive. I installed the Windows drivers so that I see the Samsung controller in Device Manager. I can't seem to suspend to it. The machine never goes to sleep. I didn't have this problem with my SSDs. I...

I have an LGA 1151 build with a Kaby Lake 7700k on top of an MSI Intel B250I Pro board. It lights up and the EZ Debug light for CPU turns on for less than a second and turns off, then the DRAM EZ Debug light turns on for a few seconds and then turns off. No other EZ Debug lights come on (even...

I built a brand new Kaby Lake system with an i7 7700k and an MSI Pro Series Intel B250 LGA 1151. I installed Ubuntu Server on it, and it was up and running for a week under relatively light load. Tonight, I started using it more heavily by running a few CPU-heavy tasks on it. All of a sudden...

I have a Corsair case with an H110 and a fan connected to it that has died. I want to remove the fan, but the screw in the back is blocked by the motherboard heatsink and the CPU connector: IMG_20161214_211718_Ink_LI by gnychis, on Flickr Does anyone have any tips on how I could remove this...

Was unable to find a local buyer for this machine, so I'll go ahead and part it out. I will take preference to those buying multiple items (e.g., mobo+cpu+ram). Everything in full working condition. The components were used to build a "Hackintosh" for myself that I've used for a while now...

I really do not want to ship this, so I am hoping that I could find a local buyer in the Boston metro area. Would be willing to meet half way at a slightly further location. Everything in full working condition. These components support "Hackintosh" builds. I used to run the machine as a...

I'm seeing a lot of mixed responses on the setup of the H110 on the top of a case as being an intake or exhaust. In fact, the 450D picture from Corsair shows liquid cooling in an exhaust pattern, but then their H110 instructions show it in an intake pattern. The 450D image: The H110...

Alright, I have no clue what to do about this. I really wanted to get this machine built today, but this might set me back a ton of time. I had a standoff screw for a Hyper 212 Evo break off in my Asrock X99 mobo. I BARELY APPLIED ANY PRESSURE. The screw must have been weak. There weren't...

I have 4x8gb of RAM (32gb total). I am trying to figure out how to place it across these 8 slots. I did not want to buy 8x4gb so that I can upgrade to 64gb in the near future. by gnychis, on Flickr All on one side? One black one blue on one side, one black one blue on the other side?

I am looking to replace my Lian Li PC65 after many, many years. I actually love the case except for 2 major drawbacks: 1) Zero cable management, 2) A lack of 120mm fan fittings. What I love about it is its size. I've been doing some searching for its replacement, and I've seen that the...

There are two batches of memory from G.SKILL that are roughly the same price: $250 - DDR4 2800 (PC4-22400) Timing 16-16-16-36 Cas Latency 16 Voltage 1.2V $240 - DDR4 2666 (PC4-21300) Timing 15-15-15-35 Cas Latency 15 Voltage 1.2V Which will have better performance? The slightly higher clock...

Surface Pro 3 owners: is t\it difficult to use on your lap in the way that a laptop would? Is it awkward? Do you find it difficult to sit and work with it? Is it annoying to use in this way? I see a lot of reviews say "it's better to use in your lap than Surface Pro 2", but I still don't know if...

I bought a 10" Asus Transformer Book for my significant other a little while back, and while it is a great little laptop, it's just a bit too small for her to be very productive on. So I am looking to get her something better for Christmas. Here's what I am looking for: Price < $500...

Well... I just returned from a trip to Hawaii where my (first-gen) Nintendo 3DS disappeared on its way home. Don't know if we left it in the hotel, the rental car, or if it was stolen from our luggage. Regardless, I'm down a 3DS and Pokemon X (what was in the DS at the time) :( Looking to...

I just built a new system with a P8Z77-V. It has an Intel Core i5 processor and I am trying to use the onboard graphics through the DVI port. Unfortunately, I get no output to my Shimian "korean monitor" -- is this because it is not dual-link, or could it be some other issue? I am able to get...

Looking to expand my RAM on my (now antiquated) machine. I have two 2GB OCZ Platinum PC2 8500 DDR2 sticks in one of my channels. Looking to put two 2GBs in my other channel. IMG_20140714_225223 by gnychis, on Flickr

I'm having some trouble selling this on Craigslist, and I hate eBay, so I thought I'd toss it up here to see if I have some luck. Looking to sell my used *unlocked* Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. This phone will work internationally and on other carriers (e.g., T-Mobile). I've included a screenshot of it...

Looking to sell my copies of Civ V plus the Gods & Kings expansion. They are both unactivated separate Steam keys. I played Civ 4 and it just wasn't for me... so I doubt Civ 5 is going to be any better for me ;) Civ V: $sold G&K: $sold My heatware is hedpe, and I have a ton of eBay feedback...

Looking for a 128GB SSD, preferably an M4, Samsung 830/840, Vertex 4, or HyperX. Likely won't bite for an Intel drive. Price depends on the drive. 64GB is too small, 256GB will likely be more than I'm willing to spend unless you're dropping a sweet deal on one (i.e., <$90). PM me any...

Hi all, I've been custom building my home PCs for 10+ years now and I've never run in to an issue like this before, I'm kind of left a bit clueless. I'm having major stability issues and I was hoping someone could provide some insight. First, details: Processor: Intel Q9550 Motherboard...

This is kind of a throwback question, because this case is now something like 8 years old? But I'm still rocking it! (albeit with new internals) I was wondering if anyone knows how to cleanly remove the base for the drive cage: Untitled by gnychis, on Flickr I put my hard drives in the...

Re-certified Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (S/N: WXL309048784) Untitled by gnychis, on Flickr Again, the drive is re-certified and still in its un-opened packaging. I got it as a replacement to an old Raptor that died...

I got the XFX 6870 Single fan version, and it is unbelievably noisy when idle and when at full speed. It's extremely distracting. Is the double fan significantly quieter? I think at this point I'd be willing to throw the extra $30 at the peace and quiet. The trouble is... I'm not sure the...

I posted this up in the main video card forum as a question on how to control fan settings with RBE. Now the thread is super specific, and I'm having issues with RBE that only the AMD crowd might be familiar with (hopefully someone with the same card). So let me describe my problem. I read...

I have a dual booted system with Windows 7 and Hackintosh, running an XFX 6870 (the single fan edition). I notice that in both Windows 7 and the Hackintosh, the fan almost constantly runs at medium speed which is pretty loud. Occasionally it will ramp down, but almost immediately ramp back up...

Hey all, A couple of my fan mounts snapped when I took out my fans to clean them. These are what I'm talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811996015&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Accessories+-+Case+/+Rackmount-_-Nexus-_-11996015 If anyone has any...

Hi all, I need a new PSU as I got a 6870 and I need two PCI-E power connectors. My current has 0 connectors. I am considering these two: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Corsair CX500 They both seem like good supplies. I have historically had Seasonic power sources and *loved* them, but I just...

As the topic says, does my SS-430HB Rev A1 not have PCI-E 6 pin? I can't seem to find it, unless for some reason I'm missing it... but when I google it I'm getting a mixed answer as to whether or not I should have a PCI-E 6pin

Hi all, I'm considering the Radeon 6870 XFX Double D, but I'm concerned it won't fit in my Lian Li PC-65. I measured with a ruler, and i think it *might* fit but it seems like it would conflict with some cabling. What experiences have people had with this?

I am looking for a good deal on a Radeon 6870 card, in particular one of these: XFX Double D HD-687A-ZDFC XFX HD-687A-ZHFC If you PM me, please include price (incl. shipping), condition, whether it has been OC'ed, and what its warranty status is.

I am selling my Casio Exilim EX-FH100 digital camera. It is in perfect condition, I am the only owner, and it has *never* been dropped. I have always kept it in a case and taken good care of it. It has a 10x zoom (great for travel), 1080p video recording, and great picture quality. Included...

Looking to purchase a 2.5" SATA laptop HD. Size must be at least 120GB. 5400 or 7200RPM acceptable. Must be guaranteed to work and have no bad sectors.

So, my girlfriend would like to playback 1080p videos to her TV. She recently got a Blu-ray player and was hoping to double it up as a something that she could plug in an external drive and play 1080p xvid, etc. on. The video format support is there, but the problem is that it only supports...

Building a new system for someone for Christmas, so I am looking for a couple parts. New: Intel i5-650 (I wish I had a micro center near me...) Used or New: EVGA nVidia GeForce GT 240 (must be this *exact* card) G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (you must significantly beat the $40 newegg price...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figure this sub forum deals the most with stability. I have an non-overclocked system (so far), and I can consistently get my machine to power down by running Prime95 for approximately 45 seconds. It barely ever makes it past the 1 minute mark. I ran...

To get a thread going for all of my stuff... all prices include shipping, willing to negotiate certain items. I will not ship international. Please do not thread/price crap. It's hard keeping up to date with pricing of things in the used market. If you disagree with a price, just PM me...

I am looking for a compatible graphics card for my hackintosh, but I am not looking to spend a lot of money, so I am looking for mainly older models. I have paypal, you must have good reputation somewhere. I am in Pittsburgh. ATI Models: HD 4670 HD 5670 nVidia Models: 9800...

I was thinking about getting the Apple 27" display, but I was wondering if I could output my HDTV from my decoder box to the Apple display. Like, an HDMI -> Thunderbolt adapter of some sort so that it could act as a TV. Is this at all possible?

I have been out of following monitors for quite some time now, so I'd greatly appreciate any high level feedback or suggestions here. I am moving in to a small studio apartment, where I'm looking for something to double up as a monitor and a TV. So, 22"+. I will be connecting a MacBook air to...

I am looking for a Gears of War 3 Beta code. Free would be super, super, awesome, if you've got an extra one. Otherwise, let me know. I appreciate it.
