So here in Oregon we have gotten like an inch of freezing rain over the last 24 hours. Comcast went out last night. I have a Samsung S20 FE and Verizon unlimited something or other. Anyway, I get like 130mbps down on my phone with 4G, but turning on mobile hotspot my laptop only gets like...

So I picked up my 4090 FE last night. It comes with a 4x8pin pci-e adapter. In time I plan to rebuild the rest of my system and I'll probably get a new power supply then, but for now my 1,000W gold whatever will work I think. Anyway, I dug out my box of modular cables. My PSU has 4x 8pin pci-e...

So I just decided to celebrate a recent promotion (though they haven't actually told me what my raise will be yet) by ordering a 4090 FE. Anyway, I plan to water cool it since I already have a custom loop set up. I've been looking at blocks and the usual suspects are all there, EK, heatkiller...

So I'm kind of in the market for a new GPU. I already have a custom loop set up so whatever I end up getting I will want to throw a full cover block on it. I'm running a 980ti currently, so it's been a while since I had to shop for blocks. How do you know if a card a block are compatible. It...

So I recently grabbed a 5600X to replace my 3600X. I spent a bunch of time looking through my drawers because I knew I had a new tube of Kryonaut around somewhere. Anyway, I take my water block off and discover that apparently I used an Innovation Cooling graphite pad when I built my system. I...

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/01/google-loses-sonos-patent-case-starts-stripping-functionality-from-speakers/ So apparently Sonos has a patent on adjusting the volume of more than one device at a time. Google has to remove that ability from its products. So now you have to adjust each...

New build using a Asrock H570M Pro4 LGA 1200 and Intel 10700K. Board won't see Inland Premium 1TB m2 ssd in the 4.0 slot, only in the 3.0 slot. I know the 10700K can't do 4.0, but I figured it could use the 4.0 slot as 3.0. Am I wrong or is there something wrong with the board?

So I've been tasked with putting together a desktop for a family member that is getting serious about professional photography. I'm told that Lightroom and Photoshop are the primary software used. I believe that Lightroom can make use of a GPU and maybe Photoshop to some lesser extent, but have...

So I upgraded my 2500k to a Ryzen 5 3600 and figured I would redo my loop while I was at it. I replaced the old XSPC soft tubing compression fittings with 14mm PETG tubing. I started out doing bends but I wasn't super happy with the way they looked so I ended up replacing all bends with 45 and...

So basically I'm trying to figure out the best way to orient my water block on my 3600 and would like to know exactly where the chiplet is located under the IHS. I feel like I've seen some for the 3900X or the 3800X but nothing for the lower tier stuff.

In some reviews I've seen them use this pressure sensitive sheets to test the contact that the cooler is making with the CPU. I'm definitely having some contact problems (earlier tightening one screw down much more than the others knocked 20 degrees of my load temperatures) so I would like to...

So I ordered a MSI B450 Tomahawk from Amazon a couple weeks back in anticipation of Zen 2. Unfortunately MSI has really dropped the ball on BIOS updates and they don't even know when they will have a BIOS update for my board (mass reddit threads about how people with the B450 Tomahawk can't even...

So I think this is the first time I have ever actually been waiting for a new PC component to be released. I have all of my other parts ready, just missing a CPU. I have yet to see any Zen 2 CPU product pages to show up at the regular websites, and no pre-order info that I am aware of. Does...

So I'm going to be rebuilding my system next month. I will be moving over to an NVME drive and will be doing a fresh install. My current system is windows 10 which was upgraded from a retail windows 7 ultimate. So my question is, will this actually work? Do I grab a windows 10 ISO and use...

So it's finally time to replace my 2500K. I plan on grabbing a 3600X or 3700X next month. I don't really see the value of a X570 board as they appear to be significantly more expensive than a B450 or X470 board and I don't plan on getting a pcie 4.0 SSD any time soon. So first, X470 or B450? I...

I was going to post something in GenMay then it said I don't have permission to view that page. My subscription says it expires in 2037. I'm panicking here, like realizing you've locked your car.

I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ 6GB GDDR5 (06G-P4-4995) that I am looking for a full cover water block for. I don't care about brand but if it is EK I would prefer copper over nickel plated. Let me know what you have got. Edit: found a EK CSQ full cover block on ebay...

I will pay $28 via paypal. My whopping 5 heat can be seen at http://www.heatware.com/u/70048

You know the drill by now, Samsung promo code for Watch Dogs 2. You sign into your Ubisoft account at http://watchdogs-samsung.ubisoft.com/en-US then enter the promo code. Only valid in US. If you have $25 via PayPal and have heatware feedback it's yours. UPDATE: Sold to piker28

So I have a Thermaltake X71 case arriving tomorrow and I'm going to my system into it and out of my Xigmatek Elysium. I liked my Elysium but it is showing some wear and the cost of sprucing it up was not that much less than the cost of a new case. Anyway, loop will be tube res -> mcp35x ->...

https://lanfest.intel.com/events/infernalan-winter-2016/main Seats are currently $40 if you register now and $45 if you buy a seat at the door. I will be going up there with a group of friends from Portland. There are a lot of seats left for such a large and previously very popular lan. I've...

So I recently traded a gtx 960 that I won and a heat sink to a friend for his gtx 970. A decent upgrade over my gtx 680. Anyway, yesterday I took the XSPC raystorm universal block off the 680 and installed it onto the 970. Load temps (using furmark) dropped from 75C at 33% fan or 55C at 100%...

Friend offered me his GTX 970 for my GTX 680 4gb and an unopened GTX 960 2gb that I recently won. I am currently using the 680 and hadn't really figured out what to do with the 960. The 680 is water cooled so I wasn't going to bother swapping the 960 into my system when it would basically give...

So my Xigmatek Elysium has served me well over the years, but the main reason that I bought it was because of how big it is; however, now I am looking to go a bit smaller. Lugging my Elysium to LANs is getting a little old. Basically I'm looking for something more in the cube shape with...

So last night I didn't charge my new note edge because I wanted to see how long I can go between charges. This morning I take a look and discover that somehow facebook has jumped from no battery use last night to 22% this morning. I can uninstall it, or disable notifications but that is about...

So I was feeling like my cheap Chinese tube reservoir was looking a little boring so I picked up a 6 foot long rod of 3/8" acrylic from the local plastics store for $4.00 and started messing around with some LEDs I had. The 3/8" acrylic rod fits pretty nicely into a random g1/4 plug I had in my...

LOL, I was looking at my case the other day, in which I have a XSPC EX480 and EX360 for a single i7 and GTX 680, and I suddenly realized, I have room for a single 120 or 140 rad at the rear of my case! I found someone on OCN selling a used EX120 for $20 shipped. It was delivered today and is now...

So I buy a gtx 680 4gb from a friend of mine to replace my 2 7850s. Things are running fine through benchmarking and games. I put a universal water block on it as well as heatsinks on the VRAM and VRMs, and head to a friend's place for a weekend lan. Suddenly I start noticing artifacts and...

Looking for a single 120mm radiator. Looking to spend $20 or so. I don't really care about brand or model as long as it doesn't leak, the fins aren't completely mashed, and it takes standard g1/4 fittings. Let me know what you've got. I have heat but I think I have maybe 1 transaction on record.

Looking for a full cover water block for a reference gtx 680. Heatkiller, EK, XSPC, I don't care. Let me know what you've got. We're talking about a 3 year old card so I am not looking to spend a whole lot. Thanks

The adhesive on vram heatsinks turned out to be crap and I ran out of thermal tape in the middle of putting a universal block on my gtx 680. I can order some online, but who knows how long it will take to show up. I'm in Portland, Oregon. Can you think of any store that would sell this kind of...

I'm trying to install a universal water block to my evga 680 and I want to put some copper heatsinks on the vram and vrm modules but nothing sticks.Thermal tape falls right off. The stuff almost tears my skin off but will not stick to the vram. Suggestions?

I've got an opportunity to pick up a EVGA GTX 680 4GB from a friend for $150. I know it's been fairly treated and never overclocked or anything. I'm considering doing it because I don't really feel like I'm getting the most out of my CF 7850s. I mean, it just seems like every time I have...

So, wtf is wrong here? My system specs are in my signature. I've been running a 830 128gb ssd for over a year and it has been great but I needed more space so I ordered a 840 EVO 250gb from amazon. I pull out my 830, plug in the 840, change the bios to AHCI (previously had been set to raid as I...

I'm in Portland, OR and need a basic prepaid smartphone (something like a moto g or an older iphone) for a family member. Text is more important than voice, 1gb of data is fine. So far it looks like Ting is more expensive than Sprint. Cricket is the same price as Sprint, but their network might...

My logitech G500 is having issues. More often than not when I left click or click and hold it does a double click which makes it impossible to click and drag files and such. Gaming is also out of the question for the moment. I contacted their support because it should still be under warranty...

This afternoon I noticed that I was receiving text messages but any that I tried to send were stuck at "sending". I could also make and receive calls. I rebooted my phone to try to fix it but now I have no mobile network connection at all. Any thoughts? Everything is stock. I haven't unlocked it...

My contract with Verizon ended in January, but I don't want to give up unlimited data by renewing (plus I'm the only one out of five on my family's plan that has data and wants data). My galaxy nexus is on its last legs (the other day it wouldn't even turn on) and it now turns off if it takes...

I was mining junkcoins on coin-base.info, but they have frequent problems and it has gotten to the point where people have given up on them so the pool hash rate has dropped to almost nothing (like 1.5 mhash/s and I'm 50% of that). Every single other pool I've found is no longer running...

Why would two cards of the same model with very similar khash rates have a big difference in shares accepted? I have two 7850s. The first is clocked at 1050/1320 and the second is clocked at 1000/1320. I started them both last night at the same time. The first is getting around 356 khash/s and...
