    Basic productivity Ryzen 1700 build

    I don't use this particular computer for anything but looking at stocks charts on tradingview.com. It is currently using 80-90% CPU utilization. I don't think getting anything greater is necessary, but this is just a guess. After all, C2Q is my ancient reference point. As for the RAM, can I...

    Basic productivity Ryzen 1700 build

    Hey all, I need a new computer for productivity/office work. This only means stock charts, graphs, multiple web browsers (over 20 tabs open) on multiple monitors (4 DVI monitors plus 2 4k monitors). In my thinking, really not pushing much CPU power, but my C2Q 9550 8GB RAM. bogs way down with...

    27" 4k curved

    What are my options for a 27" 4k curved thin bezel monitor? I can't seem to find any. This is for office work, so display quality is secondary. I am in Canada, can't find any at Bestbuy.ca or Amazon.ca.

    What is needed to play full DVD over wifi

    I have DVDs on my desktop computer that are almost 1:1 rip from DVD. That means they are about 4GB in size, contains .IFO .VOB etc files. The reason I didn't transcode it is that I needed the full menu to navigate the DVD (they are instructional DVDs). I have an old Linksys G (54GL) router that...

    Q9550 upgrade for the next decade

    I mentioned the Define C until I looked at the spec and it is only about 1.5 inch shorter, that is not what I want. So my goal is, mATX in as small a case as possible, which means to me no Fractal Design cases as they are all big for any given MB size. What is 'as small a case as possible', I...

    Q9550 upgrade for the next decade

    Should I bpick the WD in other sizes, I assume they are all the same? I'm thinking 3-4TB. I am leaning towards mATX in a non Fractal Designed case (not compact enough) using my existing card, and adding on another one, so dual GPU. I have found H170M chipset that supports x16 and x4 electrical...

    Q9550 upgrade for the next decade

    I'm happy with W7 myself, I don't really care to learn new stuff lol. As for old cards, I have an older Nvidia 9600GT 512MB Ram, can the new software do the Eyefinity equivalent function? I don't do anything intensive with my computer, displaying stock charts, stock chart software, web pages...

    Q9550 upgrade for the next decade

    Skillz, ok thanks for that. I can increase the budget no problem. Case: it's a generic, don't know what name, has nothing special. I don't want to install lots of fan, I want the least amount of fans possible, because my pet peeve is noise. I would also like a case that I can put on my desk...

    Q9550 upgrade for the next decade

    Hello all, I have an old Q9550 @3.4ghz I need upgrading. My needs are not great. CPU is fast enough for me, but I am hampered with 8GB memory just running multiple windows/browser tabs. I keep getting low memory warnings. My 2TB storage drive just gave me a SMART failure warning as well. Also...

    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    I bought a Seiki SE42UMT in Canada, which I think is the equivalent to the SE42UMS models in the US. There are not that many reviews, mostly on Amazon. It has HDMI 2.0, three of them. So the question I have is, when I run this at HDMI 1.4 at 30hz, will it display the same croma capabilities...

    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    I was wondering, do all 30hz 4K TVs do 4:4:4? Specifically the Seiki 39" 4K?

    i1 Pro: How do I calibrate the device itself?

    I have had 2 different eyeone products and both of them will 'calibrate' when you start the process. The process being.... just press the button to start your display calibration, it should go right to calibrating the device itself first.

    Galaxy 6 Weeks of Christmas GPU Giveaway! Week 5

    I like the MDT series of Galaxy cards, at least they are trying for multi output spanning, not perfect but better than none.
