So I pulled the trigger on an upgrade for my AM4 platform. I have an Asus Tuf Gaming X570pro WIFI board (BIOS supports the new CPU) that was incubating a Ryzen 5600X with a Noctua NH-D15 cooler and Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz RAM.
Pulled off the cooler, removed 5600X and put in the 5800X3D...
I have gotten several Win10 keys from a seller that is no longer active on the forum, but now I'm looking for another. Is anyone else selling a home or pro Windows 10 key for around $20?
Just upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 5600x and have my prior system guts for sale:
Intel 6600K, OC's stable to 4.7GHz, I ran it at 4.5Ghz for temp and noise reduction. Dellided with conductonaut between the die to IHS, regasketted. Runs at 60-65c at 4.5GHz with an 80f ambient temp cooled by the...
So I worked on assembling my own ISO that fits the above description, and it ultimately failed to boot properly. I have a USB boot disk that I used the gigabyte tool to load up USB3 and NVME drivers that DOES work, but it only gives me Win7 and DOES NOT have SP1 with the cumulative roll-out...
EDIT: SOLD
I have a Zotac 1080 mini for sale ($375 shipped to lower 48 states) due to a recent upgrade to an AIO watercooled Zotac 1080ti. This card is a full performance 1080, and it comes overclocked stock. The 2GHz/5.57GHz is additional stable headroom available over the factory OC if...
My case has a USB 3.1 (gen 2?) type C port on the front I/O panel but my motherboard doesn't have the internal connection for it, are there any good expansion cards with an INTERNAL header port that have Win7 drivers? I don't need an external type C port, I have one on the back already, I just...
So I imagine some of you have experience overclocking the i5-6600k with budget coolers. I'm just wondering if the numbers in the thread title are about the best I should expect with the Hyper 212 EVO?
Vcore at 1.33volts
Base clock at 3.5GHz
Turbo clock at 4.5GHz
Memory at 3200MHz
Temps average...
I recently moved cases from a Lian-Li V-1000 to a Corsair Obsidian 500D. There were a few reviews that had stated it had bad airflow dynamics but I think it's actually pretty decent and the noise floor is quite low.
I have a 120mm Corsair ML-120pro on the back, two ML-140s on the top, and two...
I'm aware of the fact that chipsets past "Skylake" are now persona non-grata in Windows update. However, the newer chips still function just fine once the drivers are loaded. So my question is... who here has done the deed? What mobo did you use, did you have any issues finding specific drivers...
I can't find the thread and have been searching this subforum and others for 2 hours now.
The poster said something to the effect of they got tired of waiting for OLED (I think) and bought a 4k screen while they were waiting. They posted a picture of it, said it was a commercial model...
So I have an EVGA GTX 260 in fine working order that I don't want to just trash but I also don't want taking up space. So if you have any use for it, pay for shipping and it's yours.

So I've got a small issue at work. We have a server running Windows Server 2008, and one of its functions is to run job ticketing software from Zoll which accepts runs from our contracted clients. The problem is that this program tends to crash, or the owner remotes into the server under his...
I'd like to get some thoughts from anyone who has implemented XMPP for Windows server, with client software for a LAN. Ideally free software (even for small business use) but pay software is ok if that's what you've got experience with. In short, some of our employees are looking for a secure...
Anyone else here using or familiar with using Google Voice with Boost Mobile? I recently switched away from Virgin Mobile due to a phone failure, and Boost offering a significantly better plan than Virgin (3GB 4G data w/ hotspot for $35/mo, vs 2.5GB 4G data w/o hotspot for $35/mo).
I added my...
This is the series that defined the 4x genre and remains the gold standard to this day, 22 years later.

After I freshly installed windows 7 ultimate, my Logitech M510 will change windows volume when holding the left button and scrolling up or down with the wheel. I'm trying to disable this but there doesn't appear to be a toggle for this in setpoint. I know it can be disabled because I didn't have...
General venting... I've recently had issues during windows update that render my system unbootable for a random length of time. After that my system started hanging in Windows. Not long after that the BIOS wasn't detecting the drive during the POST sometimes.
So it wasn't difficult to narrow it...
So this is the third time this has happened...
I'll get new update notifications in Windows 7 64-bit and apply them. Reboot... and nothing. There is no boot drive found. The BIOS sees the drive. Mess around with windows recovery options a bit, nothing works (i.e. no system restore or SFC)...
So here's my conundrum. I have Comcast business internet with 5 static IP addresses to host a few servers. Servers that I no longer am running. I'd like to drop the static addresses so I can save $20 a month AND so that I can use my own modem (Comcast forces you to RENT their modem to use static...
So I've seen various way to stream content from your PC to your mobile android device. What I haven't seen is anything that INTEGRATES well. I could install a DLNA server, but that's not quite what I want. Ideally, I'd just want something that would create a remotely shared folder link on my...
Anyone here participating in the Defense Grid 2 beta? It has two levels available for play with a few games modes available. I've got some pretty rocking scores so far, managed to get to rank 16 on elite.
Who else is playing?
If anyone of you finds yourself unwilling or unable to vacuum as regularly as you like (or dislike!) then I've got to say one of these little guys just might be for you. I had found that despite my OCD tendencies and neat streak I still don't keep up on the vacuuming, and when I do I need to...

I have an MSI Twin Frozr II 6950 rapidly approaching total fan failure. I love the hardware, and HATE the software/driver. I'd like to go back to Nvidia but the card absolutely must have HDMI audio out which supports HD-Audio codec bitstreaming as I use a receiver for PC surround sound and...
I just had one of the fans fail on my MSI Twin Frozr II R6950 (just under a year old). I setup an RMA with MSI's online form and just got a RMA ticket in my email. The thing is, there is no mention of the possibility of cross-shipping the video card. Since most PCs are useless without a GFX card...

If any of you have access to or know someone who has acquired multiple HP Touchpads, I'll pay a $50 finder's fee to you (as long as the pad is sold for close to retail, no $999 ebay links) to hook me up with one. That reward is dependent on me actually receiving a working Touchpad mind you :)...
Every time I reboot, ATI Tray Tools says it can't connect to the low level driver and it needs to be reinstalled. When I install it (as admin) it works up until the first reboot and then I have to reinstall it.
Is this a common issue and does anyone know how to keep it from happening? I use...
Hey guys, I recently upgraded from a Nvidia GTX 260 to an AMD 6950. I record HDTV over-the-air and I've noticed that the files that require deinterlacing are a big stutter fest. When I set deinterlacing to weave in CCC the problem goes away, but with bob, adaptive, motion adaptive, or vector...
I had recently upgraded my system due to a motherboard failure, but my graphics card (an EVGA GTX 260 896MB) was ok so I kept it. I realized that while I was still getting good performance from it I was missing out on newer DirectX features (tessellation) and the hit I was taking to enable AA...
I received an email on March 2nd from Newegg that the replacement boards are in and responded to it as instructed. The email said that they would respond within 2-3 business days to process the RMA. However, no return email was forthcoming so I re-responded. Still no email...
Since I work odd...
If you have or have had FIOS business class internet, can you tell me if their Dynamic IP plans have public IP addresses? In other words that you are given a true routable internet address and not an internal network address that is natted either by the router they provide or one upstream.
