Gotcha, I will lower it back down then. Thanks for the tip!

Ok awesome, everything is working great now, thank you!! I even upped the resolution a few hundred more pixels too. Typing seems back to normal and no lag at all. THIS ROCKS!! lol

Ok turning on Game Mode on the LG fixed the issue! Way better and much more responsive, thank you! But Geforce is still showing it at 30Hz - should I still try and increase this to 60Hz? (Still trying to figure out where to do that at)

So I've upgraded to an 86" 4k LG tv recently for a multi-monitor setup. I was using a 65" 4k tv as a monitor for years and no real issues. But now my mouse seems really laggy and not very exact when trying to click on things I've increased the responsiveness to 100% in hopes it would help, but...

So I've come to find out the dongle that comes with my microsoft keyboard and mouse is wifi & not blutooth. So I'm going to order a BT dongle and try connecting again. Someone also suggested a program called DS4windows if I'm still having issues. I'll post again if I'm continuing to have issues.

I seem to be having issues with the dongle seeing this PS4 controller, or even a bluetooth headset I was trying to pair So I'm going to assume there is something going on with the dongle Do I in fact need a separate bluetooth dongle for this? Or can I somehow force the microsoft one to pair...

So how do I take control of that bluetooth? Would the controller just automatically see it when I turned it on and tried to sync it? Looking under Device Manager I see: Universal Serial Bus Controllers>Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Detection Driver (USB) I'm currently on windows 7 but will be...

So I have a Windows wireless keyboard and mouse combo that comes with a bluetooth dongle I wanted to add a PS4 controller to my computer to play video games and was wondering if I could piggy back on this dongle or if I need to buy a separate one for the controller? I was thinking of getting...

Ok I'm just going to keep my headdown and enjoy the KS8000 until I can afford an OLED. I just get antsy sometimes with the KS8000 because I can see pixels during some dark scenes. It's always made me wonder if there was something wrong my my tv. Is that common on these earlier QLEDs?

Ok everyone, thanks for the suggestions! I knew the KS8000 was a high quality tv and I've been happy with it. I also know that OLED is the end game. I'll just have to wait a bit longer and see how the prices for OLEDs drop over the next several months with Vizio being in the game. I don't...

Yeah that was my original idea. OLED has always been the #Endgame. I can wait it out until a sale on a Vizio OLED comes out, I've been waiting years for an affordable one. What's another 6 months.

So I have a 65" Samsung KS8000 from I think 2016 or 2017 - how can I determine exactly what year it is? Does anyone know how many LED zones it has and the overall nits? I can't seem to find info on either. It seems this tv does NOT have local dimming zones, so apparently my blacks/darks can...

Good to know, I'll keep an eye out for those sale prices! I will stick with Western Digital just because at this point. Thanks for the info everyone!

Ok it technically says it's on sale now, but I'll wait for it to drop again. Thanks!

Where are you seeing this for that price? I see it as $160 on their website? Was it a sale or something going on then? Actually I kinda like the look of this external drive and may incorporate it into my desk build, just not sure if I have the room. I only designed it to have a normal HDD...

Hmm this is interesting info! Knowing these are higher end drives and removable, this is probably the way I would go. Obviously you void the warranty, but I'd be more concerned with data loss than a drive replacement at that point, but it's a good thing to try and keep the cages in good shape...

Ok I have a desk case and definitely want an internal HDD, so the EMAZ drives are out unfortunately. I'm narrowed it down to either a WD 6TB Black or Blue drive: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare?CompareItemList=234-000G-000W5%2C1Z4-0002-00MY8 What makes the WD Black drives so...

I have a WD 2TB from probably 4 years ago that has been serving me well, it's just almost filled up. I don't need the WD purple and I don't think I need to pay the premium for the Red either. I'll see what deal I can find on a Blue or Black WD. How do you feel the $150 Seagate I linked to...

So I'm about to burst out of my current 2TB HDD for all of my media storage. I am looking to upgrade to a 8TB HDD to store all of my various media on. Which one do you guys suggest? I Found this Seagate for $150: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822183793 But then this 8TB Seagate that looks...

Looking at Samsungs website there isn't much difference between the 970 Pro & Evo these days. It's almost worth just saving the money and going with the Evo. I currently have two Pro 550s (I think) I see that AES 256 is now a feature on the 970's, but are they supported and available for use...

So I want to move from SSDs for my OS to M.2 SSDs but only if they have FDE. Do they feature this yet? Also my M.2 slot is under my video card on my Asrock Extreme 4 - do these have issues with overheating? The video card currently has an aircooler on it, but I am getting ready to add a water...

Hmm, shit I'm not familiar with any of that. I'm going to have to do some serious research.

So I have a 2tb HDD that I store a lot of video content on that my video editors can easily, but securely access. Instead of uploading to various things like google drive, I think hosting them on my computer for the editors to access will be easier for everyone. But what is the best & most...

I have a MSI R7 260x video card for sale that is only about 4 months old. Works perfect, just didn't work right with my computer. $75 + shipping. Thanks.

Ok so I have 2 video cards, I thought they were both Asus Nvidia G-Force 9800GT cards and they look almost identical except for a some resistors etc. They have the exact same model #, different serial #'s though obviously. Is this going to be a compatability problem when running them together...

Ok it seems to have cleaned up nicely. Do I need to let this dry over night before trying to install it in the computer?

Ok I used a carbon fiber knife I have to scrap off the big thick areas and was able to get it completely cleaned off. The chip itself doesn't have big thick parts to it, actually seems like a really thin layer, I just want to make sure acetone will be ok to clean the chip off first before...

The acetone seems to be working fine for the thinner areas, but the perimeter has a thick layer that squished out and seems to be problematic. I need to scrap it off first, but not sure what to use because I don't want to gouge the copper heat sink. Do you guys think it's ok/safe to use the...

I think I have some pure acetone I'm going to try now...

Is there anything else besides that, that will work? Is that common to be sold locally in a store or do I have to order online? (it isn't a big deal but if I can buy it locally and finish this up tomorrow, that would be preferred.)

Rubbing alcohol isn't working to remove this thermal compound, any other suggestions on what else to use to remove this? Here's a pic:

Whatever is on the video card heatsink doesn't seem to want to come off with rubbing alcohol, any suggestions as to what else to use? Seems pretty stuck, even let the iso sit on it for a few minutes.

Seems I have Arctic Silver 5 - High Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound It's what I used to put the heat sink back on my Intel processor So I DON'T want to use this kind then? What should I look for specifically that would be sold locally? Not sure if I have radio shacks around any...

I have an Asus nvidia card that I had to take a part to clean. This I also removed the heat sink and there is the grey thermal compound on there, seems almost hard like dried putty, but I think I should be able to clean it off with some rubbing alcohol? Is it ok to use the Arctic Silver...

halilullah! IT'S WORKING AGAIN! Man after months of downtime because I was so frustrated, back up to a 3 monitor setup with 13.12 - lets hope it's stable! Thanks to everyone involved!

I realize this can be an issue, but I took the proper steps the last time and removed everything completely & cleanly. Thank you though. What do you guys think about 13.12 vs 14.4 ? I know I tried 13.9, I could have sworn I also tried 14.4 - I think I'd be happy just to get all 3 monitors...

It's an Asus mobo, a few years old at this point. I'm using 2 dvi & 1 display port. I've had all 3 working fine, but the drivers werent stable. So I know it will work, just need the most stable driver. Instead of trying different new ones, which I've already had issues with, I'd rather...

Anyone? I'm still stuck on this and only down to 1 monitor, it's really frustrating. Thanks.
