I still exclusively use Koolance fluids although I now use other brand blocks and radiators. I was All Koolance, All The Time for a good long while. My old Koolance CPU-380 blocks have been retrofitted to work on AMD AM4 boards and are still going strong in systems to this day (get the AM4...

Keysfan.com can get you either Office 2019 or Office 2021, and the prices are good. Note: The download is via a direct link to Microsoft, so the software is not "infected."

Man, AS a government employee (Department of Veteran Affairs), I cannot agree with you enough. There is nothing more frustrating than having Congress write pie-in-the-sky aspirational requirements for your department, have them refuse to come even close to adequately funding those requirements...

I personally like Koolance QD3's for quick disconnects.

I would argue that I * personally * feel more secure getting things from sellers here on the [H] as opposed to eBay, all other things being equal. Most folks here seem to have respect for their hardware, and not only take care of it, but pack it well so that it arrives safely. All of this is a...

I'll take it You got PM

Zade did a video on it and said they work... but the entire bundle (if you have nothing from it already) is only $10 right now. On top of that Steam DOES have the money-back guarantee. Feel free to give it a shot and confirm if it works.

My understanding is that if you own any parts of the bundle on Steam already from when those items USED to be available on Steam (pre-Origin), it will automagically further increase the discount to compensate... you will only be buying the parts you don't already have (again, on Steam). Also...

I was in this boat until one of the electrical lines in my neighborhood went bad, and we started having severe brownouts during storms. This fried some valuable equipment.

My contribution to the Type 2 diabetes line of conversation... If I could go back in time and tell my younger self what I know now, I would definitely have made different life choices. I have to take Metformin, Glipizide, Farxiga AND Ozempic. I have neuropathy in my feet (the pain kind, not the...

This is a solid plan. I can honestly say I have no regrets with my 6800XT and at current pricing, nothing I can get is a reasonable upgrade for it. Hopefully next gen will raise the bar to the point I consider it.

AM5 CPUs almost always shoot right up to max temp under any kind of load. ALL of them do it. It's a deliberate design decision by AMD. Der Bauer did a whole thing on it back in early AM5 release days. Lapping the CPU die is unlikely to make much difference for you, but he had great success...

AM4 A10 processor won't work on this board - they dropped BIOS support for these back in the X370/B350 days to support newer Ryzen processors and the X570/B550 NEVER supported them. Pretty much any AM4 Ryzen should work, though. Note: Even though the early Ryzen boards supported the A10...

I upgraded my Asus Strix x670e-A Gaming WiFi to 1904 last night and have had no trouble... but then I've really not had ANY trouble with my 7950X on this board under any BIOS release. That being said - if you guys are unaware, AMD has some newer chipset drivers on their website as well (January...

I have a few Intel 540t cards and they've been fine. I'm only running the 10G speeds on my server rack and to my main desktop, and it's been fine.
