My memory usage is consistently over 80%, and I'm getting little lags that are annoying. I have a ton of tabs open at all times, but that's how I roll and I'm not going to change. I have 16gb of ADATA DDR4 3000 in my rig currently. Should I add 2X8 GB (which would be enough), or buy 2X16GB and...

You need to clip a coupon which is only valid on the 64BG Starlight. This is the historically lowest price by $70. Via S/D...

Google Fi is running a great promo with phone sales and upgraded trade in values. Deals for new and existing members. You can tinker with the site, but here is one example. Samsung S22 is on sale for $299. Trade in for a cracked screen S21 is about 420, though some people on SlickDeals report...

I need some more storage for photo backups, disk images, etc. This is personal stuff and not really mission critical for anything. I have an NVME for boot, Windows, etc. and an SSD for games. Still, I like to find the best bang for my buck. I've found a number of used WD Gold 6TB internal...

Hi all, I've been out of the tablet game for awhile. But I'm tired of sitting at my PC so much and I need a tablet to read and annotate PDF files. I looked at dedicated tablets like the Onyx Boox, but those are pretty expensive and not worth it to me. My needs are simple. I want a good screen...

Hi all, If anyone has an unwanted Sekiro PC download code (or disc, if they even make them anymore), I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Hi all, until now, my movie/tv consumption has consisted of Netflix or Hulu and Prime video. But as selection gets more limited, I find myself wanting to watch more downloaded stuff. Here's my question: If I have only 1 TV, and if ALL I want to do is play downloaded movies on that TV, is there...

I have a TP Link n600 dual band router. Pretty basic - total of 600 mpbs. The router is on the second story of our house (1700 sq ft.) at one end. Downstairs in the middle of the house, wifi is ok for phones but not for tablets, which sucks because my daughter uses one all the time. And if Peppa...

I just got an email that I was eligible for a Google Home Mini for free. I went to Google Store, ordered it, and it's on its way with free shipping. You have to have a Premium account and you can't have redeemed another Google Mini offer before. Check your Spam/Promotions email folders! More...

Up for sale is an MSI TwinFrozrIII 7950. I bought it new, it sat unused for a couple years after my daughter was born, and has never been overclocked. It's been rock solid, very quiet, and I was using it just a month ago to play Rise of the Tomb Raider. Here's the specs...

I want to upgrade my old 7950 to a new card. I game as much as fatherhood allows, which is for me only a few hours/week. I don't do e-sports type games. Most I play stuff like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dark Souls III, Red Dead Redemption 2 (when available), etc. etc. I have a 1080p monitor at...

I used to make disk images of my Windows 7 install with Macrium. Now I've moved to Windows 10. It has a native disk imaging tool, though the image it makes is not a single file but several (as I just discovered). Is this tool any good or should I use Macrium? I've googled around and can't find...

Evga restarted their B-stock sale. This time, the best deals are only on PSUs. 1 year warranty though. EVGA 600W White [evga.com]: $19.99 EVGA 850 GQ, 80+ GOLD 850W, [evga.com] Semi Modular: $49.99 EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1, 80+ GOLD 750W [evga.com]: $59.99 EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3, 80 Plus Gold 750W...

So I got a 2600x on the cheap to build a new rig. I'm also gonna get an RX 580 when the Sapphire goes on sale, regardless of what CPU I have. I don't have a mobo or ram yet. I want to game at 1080p 60hz (Darks Souls III, Witcher III, maybe Civ, stuff like that). I also use Word, Adobe Acrobat...

I have an older Coolermaster Hyper 212 on my Phenom X4 965 BE. Is there an adapter that would allow me to use it to cool a 9th gen Intel i5? The mounting hardware on the new 212s is backwards compatible, but I'm guessing the old mounting hardware is not forwards compatible :) Apologies if this...

Hi all, I sort of settled on a the above mobo for my new 2600x. Problem is, it's OOS everywhere. Is MSI making new boards or something? I'm fine waiting, but if the board isn't going to be sold anymore, I'll try to find a different one. The competitor I'm thinking of is the Aorus B450 Pro...

I'm building a new rig around a 2600x I just scored. I'll likely get a new or used 480/580 or 570 gpu, haven't settled on which one yet. I'm gonna use an NvME drive eventually. I need a new mobo, and could use some advice. I prefer ATX form factor. I won't be overclocking. I would like onboard...

Plus $30 in Rakuten points if you buy with Mastercard, FWIW. Also, free one-day shipping, no tax. Seems to go in and out of stock, but I snagged one. https://slickdeals.net/f/12554467-amd-ryzen-5-2600x-6-core-3-6ghz-socket-am4-95w-desktop-cpu-164-ac-free-shipping?src=catpagev2_catnav_computers

I posted a very general question about updating my rig (in sig) a few days ago and got a lot of helpful comments that helped me think through things. I just wanted to see if there was any reason not to go with the Ryzen 5 2600 (vs. esp. the i3-8350k). I want to spend 350-400, and the main...

I haven't looked at hardware in awhile, so I'm out of the loop and could use some help. My current rig is in my signature. I need to upgrade to Windows 10 and figured I might as well upgrade my old-ass mobo and CPU while I'm at it. I'll keep all the other parts. I definitely don't want to...

My Moto X is no longer very functional given it's ancient processor. I need a new phone that works on Verizon. I mostly check email, use navigation, and lightly browse the web. I *hate* large phones, but it's difficult to find a competent "small" phone. Ideally I'd like something the size of...

I've noticed that on Ebay and here on Hardforum that used X1 Carbons and t440/450s of the same generation go for about the same price. Which is kind of odd, since Carbons are much more expensive new. Why do the Carbons depreciate faster than the t440/50s? I'm asking b/c I'm in the market for...

I bought a Venue 11 pro recently. I've never had a tablet before, and I needed Windows to log on to wifi where I work. I was NOT impressed. In fact, I sent it back. Wifi constantly dropped. I talked with tech support, and they tried to help fix it, but multiple driver updates, etc. did...

These deals come around every so often, so they're not earth shattering, but these are great games, and the triple pack especially is a very good deal. I think I've seen Infinite drop to $8, but I've never seen the triple pack go below $15. Weekend deal only...

Microsoft is set to open up a new specialty store location in Thousand Oaks, CA, Tucson, AZ, Des Moines, IA, Broomfield, CO, San Antonio, TX, Omaha, NE, Columbia, MD, South Portland, ME, Baton Rouge, LA, and Boise, ID, during the month of May. If you happen to be near any of these locations...

I used to be able to post in the For Sale/Trade forum. Now when I try, I'm told I need 100 posts to do so. I get why there is a post limit, but 100 seems high. I read the forum every day, and post enough so that I'm well over 50. Is there any way to get grandfathered, i.e., recover my...

It's easy to find promo codes for basic black and white Moto X's, but I haven't seen the customized versions go for free since January. You have to go to the Moto maker site https://www.motorola.com/us/motomaker?pid=FLEXR1#exterior/backplate After you design your phone, you put in your...

I've googled a ton, and can't get a straight answer on this, maybe because it's so obvious. I'm cloning two partitions from my HDD (total 140 GB) to a new SSD (Crucial M500 240GB). I don't want a clean install, I want to clone. I have set BIOS to AHCI already. I will use Macrium v. 5 to...

Hi all, I'd like to speed up my Lenovo Thinkpad T60p. It has been super reliable for the 6 years I've had it (only had to replace the fan). It's still going really strong, but it's getting pretty slow. A month ago I got frustrated, reformatted the drive and reloaded Windows XP sp3. It's...

So I've got the rig in the sig, with a CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 cpu cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064 Till, now, I've been running it with just one fan, in a pull configuration, blowing downward. But I want to OC my CPU, so I need a bit more cooling. I...

I can't post in [H]otdeals yet, but there is an even better deal on the MSI 7950 TF3 if you use v.me. Someone in the [H]otdeals thread said that in the last few months, no one had confirmed that these have the 7970 PCB. I'm not exactly sure what the 7950 v. 7970 PCB distinction is, but in...
