I was really hoping someone could confirm my troubleshooting ... issue is the Ryzen 7 3700X CPU that I have. Problem: Upgrading my build to MSI X570S Edge Wifi + Ryzen 7 3700x + Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3600 2x16GB. Boot gets stuck at DRAM led and doesn't post. If I remove 1 stick, it...

I use Premiere Pro and After Effects with CUDA enabled (running GTX 1070) and so far 1080P video editing with my Ryzen 5 1500X has been smooth. But now that I am doing more 4K, I can't even properly edit because preview playback stutters too much. A used Ryzen 7 2700X is within my budget and I...

Looking to upgrade my Ryzen 5 1500x OC'ed to 3.8 to the 7 series either the 1700, 1800x, or 2700x. Would I see enough of an improvement for my uses described below just going to 1700 or would I really need to go to 2700x? Or stick with the 1500x? I do a lot of gaming across genres from MMOs...

Hey guys. I'm desperate to upgrade a recently bought 1050. My 970 died and quite literally the only video card they had at Frys was a 1050. I thought I could tough it out for the time being but this card struggles too much compared to the 970. I play a lot of Ark can barely keep 30fps on...

Looking for a used Xbox One is great condition both cosmetically and operationally. I'm not that particular on the version as I am on the price. Just looking for the console, cables, controller, and power supply - not really interested in Kinnect. USPS Priority or other tracked and insured...

I''ve got a EVGA GTX 970 SC with the reference blower and it gets up to 90C under Furmark. I've always ran it stock but since recently upgrading to a Ryzen 1500x at OC'ed to 3.9, I was thinking of OC'ing the 970 to see if I can eek out a little more performance. But I'm not comfortable doing...

*** SOLVED SEE 2 POSTS BELOW ** I've got a fully updated Win 10 install that just does not want to do what is in the power plan - specifically, monitor does not shut down and computer is not put to sleep in the designated time periods. Based on some searches, I made sure that my wireless...

I need some feedback on my troubleshooting process for determining if my RAM has gone bad. It is an i7 920 system on a EVGA X58 SLI3 mobo using 6x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz RAM (triple channel sold in 2 packs of 3 RAM each). OS is Win 10 Pro X64 v16299. The system is only recognizing...

I recently upgraded my old i7 920 system and want to make a scrap computer for my mom with that i7 920. I just need a cheap GPU and cooler (fan or AIO). Pretty much just something to make the computer run and let her check her email and browse the internet. No gaming no movie watching no...

Any issue splicing a single case fan connector into 4 connections? Specifically I'm just soldering the red, black, and yellow wires of a 3-pin remale fan connector to 4x 3-pin male fan connectors (so I believe this is in prallel - e.g., all red spliced together at some point of contact). I...

It must be closing in on a decade now with my stalwart i7 920 which ran at 3.9 for the better part of that time. I've recently started running into issues with my system recognizing a fraction of the 16gb 3-channel memory so with all the sales happening, figured now's a better time than any to...

Would I be safe cooling a non-overclocked i& 7700k with a Corsair H60? I am reading about hi temps for this CPU but also noticing that they are all OC'ed. I had also read that this CPU handles just fine without OC.

I'm pretty sure my EVGA GTX 970 is on its last legs. I do a lot of gaming for very long stretches namely in a game called Ark Survival Evolved. Only while playing, I started to get blue screens and memory allocation errors. Since some recent driver upgrades, things started to stutter which I...

I do have a very good Razer headset with a very good mic but realize now that I prefer gaming without the headset. Anyone recommend a good mic that I can use independent of a headset that will keep ambient noise out? Most of my games like Ark have push to talk so I wouldn't be transmitting...

Any other Ark addicts here? I've got close to 3k hours logged into this crazy game. And that's not saying much compared to the truly hardcore. I would only play official PVP but since server transfers and add to that "The Great Flyer Nerf," and there's just no way a small tribe / solo player...

It's been a while that I've looked into my i7 920 based hardware and it's clear that there's room to upgrade basically everywhere. For starters, I'm tackling my wifi which was previously handled by a Linksys N router. Lately, it's been dropping connections to my main desktop computer which...

I know the technology remains hit or miss - I had purchased a pair of Rowkin earbuds and ended up returning them for being so fickle with the charging (wouldn't charge). But at the same time, I just nearly pulled my shoulder here at work trying to reach a piece of paper across my desk but keep...

I just finally upgraded my original Corsair H50 which I've had for upwards of 10 years. I remember when I first got it, the first completely sealed ready to go water cooling system, I was so sketched out that it would leak and ruin everything. I had spent a stupid amount of money building an...

Seeing if anyone is letting go of a license for Office 2016 (the local installation not 365 the subscription model). [edit] This would be for PC. Would use HUP but my company doesn't offer it. Thanks!

Hoping to get some recommendations to upgrading my i7 920 setup I use for gaming: i7 920 @ 3.9GHz EVGA GTX 970 EVGA X58 SLI3 motherboard SanDisk SSD 480GB LG Ultrawide 2560x1080 I play mostly games like Ark and have been able to run them at near high settings just fine. I would like to keep...

I was very surprised to see that my i7 920 and GTX 570 have so far been able to run Witcher 3!! The settings are on "High" and so far the game is very playable. I'm not running FPS or benchmarking monitors or anything like that, I just mean I can move around and engage in combat without and...

Hey all, been out of the scene for a bit so I'm completely oblivious to what the latest and greatest is. But my wife is in the market for a decent laptop to upgrade an HP Pavillion DV5 with an Intel Core2 at 2.0Ghz. She would be using the laptop for professional photo editing using Adobe...

I'm having the following small cap with an engraved logo 3d printed for me ... The white would represent solid material and the dark would be empty, if that makes sense. I have not considered adding a clear / translucent film but would do so if that is recommended. I want to...

Looking to upgrade my rig so I can burn to Blu Ray. My only comparison points are the burners on places like Newegg so please price accordingly. Please send pm or email. Thanks!

Trying to plan for a 15 hour long haul flight so packing my A0522 netbook with whatever games can suck up the most time possible. Aside from the stock specs (AMD A50M Fusion, 1 Ghz, DDR3 1066, ATI Radeon HD 6250), I’ve maxed the ram to 2GB, dropped in an OCZ Veretex 120GB, and running...

What are some low profile black clean screws I could use to secure a blowhole grill on top of a Lian Li PV-A05? I was looking at the socket screws but was hoping for something more low profile. Maybe thin thumb screws? Also, what size / length screws should they be? I'm using this Phobya...

I was wondering if anyone by chance has tried the following case, mobo, psu, gpu combination and can confirm fitment? Lian Li PC-A05NB EVGA X58 SLI 3 Corsair HX750 EVGA GTX 570 Any feedback much appreciated!

Looking to upgrade my current system which I had put together late ’09 that ultimately ended up like this … i7 920 D0 EVGA X58 SLI LE Corsair HX750W Nvidia GTX 570 6x 2GB Corsair Dominators DDR3 1600 OCZ Vertex 120GB + Intel 90GB SSDs Corsair H50 cooling 2x WD Caviar 500GB CM Storm...

I've been doing more and more HD video editing in Premiere Pro CS5 and the rendering times are starting to really chafe. I've got a 5850 right now and seriously considering going to Nvidia for CUDA. I've been eyeing the GTX 570 but I'm wondering if the extra processing power over a GTX 4XX...

I’m thinking of finally going 3-panel display with 2 video cards. I currently have a single XFX 5850 Black Edition and 2 Acer x223w (1680x1050). I’d prefer a set of 1080 monitors but I’m afraid I’m stuck with these 1050s. I was looking around for another 5850 but they are scarce!! And...

I've been using an Asus Eeepc 1001p Seashell with the Atom N450 processor and Intel GMA 3150 integrated graphics. It skips horribly when trying to play back HD files from a video camcorder. These files are AVCHD video 1080p 26301kbps from a Sony HDR-CX160. Also MP4 video 1080p 12512kbps from...

Just pulled the trigger on today’s woot! Which is a pair of refurbed AV-40s for like $95 shipped. Too good to pass up. These will replace some meh Sony 2.1 speakers. I know these things are much larger compared to typical computer speakers so I was wondering how others have set their’s up...

I freed up an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD from my netbook (replaced it with a Momentus XT for more storage). I was thinking about Raid 0’ing the X25-M and the OCZ Vertex 120GB I’ve currently got in my desktop (see signature below for specs). I’m hesitating because 1) I’d lose 40GB and 2) I’m...

I’m trying to find an HD camcorder that I can pair up well with a GoPro HD camera. Currently, I’ve got a standard definition camcorder and I’d hate to have to degrade the GoPro footage to accommodate the lower common denominator. The GoPro is capable of filming at both 1080p and 720p. My...

I’ve been debating what to get next. I’d love to get both but She Who Must Be Obeyed would kill me. Was thinking of getting another Acer x223w monitor so I can run a dual monitor setup which would be very helpful for me – not for gaming but I tend to run a lot of apps. On the other hand...

I'm thinking about picking up another x223w so I can run dual monitors. I plan on powering them through a single 5850 (please see sig for current rig specs). I don't intend to use this primarily for gaming (although yes I will game but not across monitors that would be kinda wierd with the...

Anyone have cable service from Charter Communications? If so, what router are you using? I have a Linksys e1000 but it doesn’t seem to want to work with the Charter cable modem. I can connect fine to the internet via ethernet through the router but get stuck with local access only on...

I’m looking for some desk speakers but I don’t have a lot of room on my desk. Some things I am looking for: * compact – I can’t emphasize this enough, I really have very little room on my desk. Here is a picture to give you an idea: * powered – I don’t like the USB powered ones...

I was debating whether to replace the Seagate HDD in my Asus 1001P with an SSD. But I was worried that that netbooks are still using SATA1 and the Atom CPU would render an SSD not as effective as it would be in my desktop. I pulled the trigger anyway on an Intel X25 80GB ($199 special at MC)...
