I'm currently in the process of installing El Capitan on a separate NVME drive in my windows build and I plan on dual booting the two. While I love the boot loader, is there a way to scripts something to allow the computer to restart and boot into the other OS without having to select upon boot...

Well I don't know from personal experience but my research has netted this: TV must include HDMI 2.0 in oder to deliver a 4K picture at 60hz. Must have PC mode feature to turn off all the processing most TV's try to accomplish nowadays Often times only one port is capable of handling such...

Anyone know if this TV > Samsung UN49KS8500 Supports 4:4:4 Chroma for good PC use?

Something between 40-48 inches and preferably a 2016 Sammy. I've beed doing a lot of research and there are several models that support 4:4:4 chroma at 60hz. However, a lot of the feedback is conflicting and some seem to not have that option in every port and such. Is there a clear contender...

whats a DVM lol, researching...

So I sleeved this PSU years ago (around 7-8 yrs ago) and after many years I decided to USE it and its not working properly so my assumption is that I probably crossed a couple of cables. This PSU is semi-modular however and I can't just get a new cable, I'd have to open it and follow each...

yeah that size wasn't available at the time of me ordering, I just ordered one. Plus I hate PPC's shipping charges they're pretty high for such small packages. thanks!

Trust this is not a result from lack of research. yes this is my first hardline build but I've done a ton of research. Keeping it in the same brand is what I wanted to do but I have not identified a retailer that carries that particular cord here in the US east coast. I've seen bitspower...

I'm pretty confused. I bought this silicone cord >Amazon.com: XSPC PETG Bending Rubber: Computers & Accessories for this 12mm tubing > Amazon.com: Bitspower None Chamfer PETG Link Tube, 12mm OD, 500mm, Clear, 4-pack: Computers & Accessories with 10mm ID and it simply does not fit. Extremely...

Semi build log coming...

Are there any possible reactions to these co-existing in one loop?

yeah it looks like I'm gna have to McGuyver something together to make this work. thanks for your opinions.

Is there a mounting mechanism for a 50mm res that allows me to mount it along the side of a rad with 120mm screw holes?

really feeling the specs and looks of the drive. TIA!

hmm those ek fans look boxy enough for a pull setup. thanks for the input.

I have recently settled on the SP120's for my push configs on a new build. The think I'm noticing about the design of the fans is the circular design vs a more boxy design doesn't seem all that good for a pull configuration. Are Noctua or Noiseblocker fans just as good? I have no real...

good to know, thanks for your feedback guys!

I decided to but a bunch of bits power fittings as they came highly recommended but I'm having a hard time sourcing 12mm PETG tubing? I have acrylic but I've seen how brittle these can be in comparison to PETG and i feel better about using PETG ones. In case its not apparent its my first rigid...

I just got a Jonsbo W2 that I plan on doing a water loop on. but I was to basically setup 3 rads (2 x 240mm + 1 x 120mm) all blowing out of the case. This I know will create negative pressure but does it matter much in this case considering the height and exposed vents in the PCI sheilds?

I can't seem to find this specific card type > EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti DirectX 12 06G-P4-0998-KR 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card - Newegg.com TIA!

thanks just picked one up

I suppose I can ignore the LE part if i'm planning on ditching the stock cooler and slapping a EK block?

no way they ship :LOL:

Thank you for the very insightful feedback, I have my work cut out for me. You mention U.2 vs M.2, I don't favor one over the other but I do think m.2 is the future at least for boot media. I've had an intel nuc as a media center box since it was first made available and that thing is still...

You seem quite knowledgeable in the two brands i've been looking at for that past two weeks. Frankly I'm a creative director so a lot of what I do is graphics, rendering and such. After many years I've recently decided to build myself a PC that can handle serious prosumer software as well as...

That Asrock Extreme 7+ is quite the board. I don't have much experience with Asrock though and from my perspective at least, they seem like a low tier brand.

why do Asus boards only carry one m.2 Drive? I really want a minimum of 2. :(

Jesus I butchered that topic title. lol no sleep! thanks for the feedback ;)

Also what the best option (in your opinion) fora skyline built? I haven't built a PC in years and I feel like all MB manufacturers got their shit together because there are way too many options. I'm really looking for now with at least 2 M.2 drive slots and overclock friendly. No entry level...

that seems like a good deal, does this card have a compatible water block and backplate from EK? I think I've seen the block but not the backplate

I've been away from PC's too long and I've recently developed a desire to build myself a custom water loop cooled rig that I can do some gaming and some serious work on. I'll admit I haven't kept up with the various different processors available out now and I;m wondering I should go with a...

yeah the router is kindda fixed to that wall, i mean I'm sure I can relocate it but not without drilling a few permanent holes and as I said before it's a lease. There are also no hidden outlets fro power and i'm not going to have a router sitting next to my coffee machine. It's a little tricky...

Those Ubiquity APs cost as much as a new router. If I'm not mistaking doesn't the RT56U support bridging? what do you guys think about me upgrading to a new RT-AC68U as my main router and using my old 56U as a bridge inside my bedroom closet (assuming theres a connection in there, I'll have to...

Thanks for all the great suggestions. The thing that boggles my mind is that this apt is brand new I mean the building is not even finished yet. I ran some tests using an app called WiFi analyzer on android, and apparently the 5ghz line is stronger in my Apartment but as soon as I walk...

I recently moved to a new apartment and I'm using a router I've been successfully using for a few years now (and ASUS RT56U). I have downsized from a 3bed apt to a newer 2bed apt but my Wifi has really suffered. I have no idea what they put in these wall but my router is in my living room and i...

Forwarding ports on my router will only reach the building network, which is why they want to charge me $20 for a static IP. I was hoping there was some way or some tool to get pass the the internal IP. I think something like team viewer might work for remoting into my server but I don't know of...

I recently moved to a new building when the have what called an MDU (Multidwelling Unit).The building has local network that assigns internal IP's to all the apartments. In the past I've been able to access my home network either via RDP of and other programs like couch potato via port forwards...

codes invalid :(

Regarding Dangman's comments about mATX vs mITX I already own the small case so my options are limited to mITX, and quite frankly its a form factor I'd like to use. So I'm considering the Dangman's suggestions: One concern I have though is cooling is there ad low profile cooler preferably...

thank you for adding perspective here. I made a mistake on that case I actually have the smaller one (the Q25) which indeed has been my dilemma. I went very compact and now I'm paying the price. I think my case will still fit that board though and by the looks of it in the Newegg images the...
