Looking for (ideally) a motherboard and CPU combo, possibly with some RAM. Want to get an idea of what I would pay used as opposed to shelling out for new stuff. Have to replace a Synology NAS (with non-Synology hardware) and want to keep the outlay as low as possible. - Form factor could be...

I'm seeing that there are decent discounts on end-of-life Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. When I built my AM4 based system, back when the 5000 series were coming out, I ended up getting a 3800XT due to pricing and availability. It's been a great chip but I'm wondering whether now might be the time to...

I have an open chassis rig with Asus Z590-P 2 x Antec Signature 1300 PSUs Three GPU plus MB on PSU1 1 GPU on PSU2 Antec OC Link cable connects both PSUs I have had the machine running fine for 12 months on 1 PSU added a fourth GPU on a PCIe riser connecter which has a USB connector back to a...

Aaand that's why I love this place. Thank you Domingo - this totally fixed my problem. Also cool to be able to change the default audio and subtitle tracks so that I don't have to change them each time I pull up a file. Thank you!!

Thanks for trying. Do you have the same success with an MKV?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately not, checked that - files were not R only. Also un-ticked the box windows uses to BLOCK files which come from another computer. User account is a member of local administrators group. No weird ownership issues, has to be something else.

I've been trying to update the metadata for some video files to tidy up my video library. My normal process would be to right-click on the file in Windows Explorer and select PROPERTIES That should bring up the tried 'n' tested dialog box which has been about the same since... hmmm... Windows...

After playing around this weekend (which involved fitting a heatsink to the Samsung EVO 97) PLUS SSD which is installed in the M2 slot underneath the mobo (with zero airflow), I was able to drop my drive temps from 53C to 43C at idle. This, combined with the memory voltage tweaks and an upgrade...

It seems to be idling at around 1.09v, so I will try 1.1V to begin with and then 1.2V DRAM voltage is set to 1.3V but is being reported at 1.38V in the status window to the right.... going to see how it goes for a bit Thanks for all the suggestions!

This would be CPU VCORE SOC correct? Yeah, me too. Just don't need the aggravation of trying to do a clean install at the moment when most of the contents of my office and my apartment are buried in storage, including physical copies of software with needed license keys :( Instead... I...

Hello friends I rebuilt my office PC over the winter, and have gone from having a rock solid PC which I didn't even think about to something that's become a flaky, neurotic, needy mess. I went through several iterations of mini ITX motherboard - I changed from my old Asrock ITX to a Gigabyte...
