    Are EVGA's Z490 boards as gimmicky as they appear, or are there really people who think having only 2 DIMM slots will make any difference?

    I was looking at the three boards in EVGA's Z490 lineup and there was something bugging me that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It took a fair few minutes going over the images before it struck me - there are only two RAM slots! But wait, maybe it's ITX and-- oh, EATX. I already knew the...

    8+4 EPS: Last 4 pins of PCI-E cable fit, but is it safe?

    I don't know if my PSU(HX1000i) came with two 4+4 cables and I lost one or it was always just one, but until now I haven't needed both. I found that four pins on a pcie cable fit perfectly in the 4-pin connector, but is it safe to use? It's irrelevant whether or not the extra EPS connector is...

    Massive performance reduction since installing an ASRock Z390 Taichi.

    I've been experiencing stutters, frame drops, and all around sluggishness in games and general OS tasks since switching to this ASRock board. I have tried everything I can think of including countless combinations of BIOS settings and a complete format and reinstall. Even while writing this the...

    Mech keyboard with at least 12 macro keys?

    Is there a currently available keyboard with a separate macro pad similar to the K95? I upgraded some hardware and now CUE/iCUE causes mass system stutters and unstable FPS in games. Exiting cue clears up all issues. I can find no solution, but I need the 18 macro keys or the MMO I enjoy would...

    Can a motherboard take out memory when its RAM slots fail?

    Had an MSI board die, the cause of which turned out to be the simultaneous death of all four RAM slots. Just got a new board and now only two of my DIMMs work. Was this a astronomically unlikely coincidence or did the MSI board kill my RAM?

    Power but no POST. CPU or motherboard?

    8700K MSI Z370 Gaming M7 Happened out of nowhere yesterday, board lights up and powers headers but no video - integrated or discrete - and displays 00 (not D0) and the DRAM debug LED is lit despite memory testing fine in other systems and trying all slots and combinations on this board.

    Expanding Swiftech H220-X - is this Barrow res a good option?

    I'm doing some small upgrades to the Swiftech. Since I don't need an extreme custom loop, adding some entry-level parts to the H220-X should be more than enough for my needs. Tubing and fittings are already on the way and since I'm fine with the radiator, the only other thing is the extremely...

    Looking to upgrade to a GPU that can deliver a consistent 100FPS @ 2560x1440 and medium quality settings

    I knew when I bought a 5700 XT that it's a 60FPS and/or FreeSync GPU, so it's not surprising or disappointing that it has trouble maintaining 100FPS at 2560x1440 in some games. Since I cannot use FreeSync due to intolerable flickering I must upgrade to something with a little more power. Would...

    Does this need to be bled or refilled? (Swiftech AIO)

    I bought a Swiftech H220-X from a member here. It's new, but it sat in its box for a number of years and I'm curious what, if any, maintenance I should perform. The res window is apparently supposed to look dirty like that judging by every other picture of the AIO. The big air bubble and...

    Adblock Plus showing 3000+ ads blocked on several sites - normal or something on my PC?

    Yesterday while browsing Amazon I noticed the "ads blocked" number on the ABP icon was over 3000. I went to Newegg and it climbed quickly to over 2000. Same thing at many other sites. I don't recall seeing these kinds of numbers before. Is this normal behavior?

    Anybody still playing Guild Wars 2?

    I just started playing again after many years and despite my burning hatred for F2P MMOs with enormous cash shops I am enjoying it. The only problem is what appears to be a fiercely anti-social playerbase full of people who would rather die trying to solo something than group with other humans.

    Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 upgrade under ~$350?

I really, really wish I could keep it but the hardware is too old and common...

    Is there a 32" 16:9 or 34" 21:9 display guaranteed to exhibit zero FreeSync flicker?

    I've never used or needed more than one display at a time, yet here I sit with three monitors - Samsung C32HG70, LG 34UC80, Viotek GN32LD - each of which excels at flickering while FreeSsync is enabled despite every possible combination of hardware and software settings. Is there a FreeSync...
