She used to be an active poster in this forum, but no postings for months now. Her profile is "not available."

I just looked at Ebay for 3060 Ti cards and it's obvious the scalpers rule there. So I've had to think how I'm going to cope before prices come down to something normal, whatever that means. And based on news reports, I don't expect to get that 3060 Ti until sometime in 2022. What's your...

Like it says in the title, I need to send Kyle an email about some account issues. I seem to have read that somewhere. Or is it Ok to send a PM to any of the forum administrators.

Going by posts in these forums, it seems that Micro Center gets more GPU shipments than other stores. Yes? No? They have inside pull with Nvidia?

But aside from complaining about the miners, I don't think there is much we can all do.

If you are NOT a corporate IT administrator, but a [H] type home user, is there any real benefit to running these pre-releases?

Let's say you want to buy a used GPU card. Any generation. Ebay or maybe Craigslist or maybe the FS/FT forum on this website. If the seller doesn't say that this card was used in mining, on (on Ebay or Craigslist) claims it was not, is there any reliable way for a buyer to detect mining...

Just wondering.

I already posted this deep down in a long-running thread, where many people could miss this, so I thought I should start a new thread here. This is an official statement from an NVidia VP and CFO. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/n...-to-last-for-the-bigger-part-of-the-year.html Of course...

So I just checked the BB site, and of course all the 3060s were sold out. But there was something new, a price drop. Why would BB drop prices when they sell everything they can? And not just a token $10.

Just wondering again. Is there a way to calculate when supply catches up with demand. Here is what I mean. How many "serious" gamers are out there? I'm defining this as someone who upgrades the GPU often. How many of these serious gamers have already upgraded? What is the total number of...

My question is motivated by this except from an Adobe blog post announcing Super Resolution in Photoshop and Adobe Camera RAW: If you’re in the market for a new computer or GPU, look for GPU models optimized for CoreML and Windows ML machine learning technologies. For example, the Neural Engine...

I used SmartConnect to connect up my 2.4 and both 5.0 bands. I was expecting that at worst, throughput would stay the same as the throughput on one 5.0 band. Instead, it dropped over 80%. Once I modified my router config to turn off SmatConnect, I got back my old throughput. Is this feature...

I don't think I'm a noob, but I can't seem to decipher Comcast's verbiage. I get that there are some benefits, but what are the hidden costs? Can I keep my current ARRIS cable modem? Do I need to replace my current set top boxes? (We have hours and hours of recorded shows to watch, and I...

The only AMD 6000 card on Newegg that is not out of stock.

https://www.amazon.com/der8auer-RYZEN-Custom-Mounting-Frame/dp/B0876F2MH2/ I'm thinking about an AIO to cool my Ryzen 3900X, probably an Arctic Freezer model. Does this mounting frame help to lower CPU temps? How much?

I have 2.4 and 5.0 GHz WiFi in my house. For both my laptops and my phones/tablets, they connect to the 2.4 band much faster than the 5.0 band. Sometimes when I select the 5.0 band on my iPhone, it doesn't connect until I repeat the selection several times. Advice?

As of just now, I have totally had it with this entire game card situation. I was a real schmuck for not buying an AMD 5600XT or 5700 back last May (at MSRP) when I was buying all the other components of my new build. No, I had to have a new generation Nvidia card. Again, I was a real...

I'm interested in this Arctic Freezer cooler as a replacement for the AMD Wraith cooler, but before I spend the $$$, I would like to know just how much improvement in temps I can expect with the AIO cooler. Also, are the fans running all the time with the AIO, or are they off at lower temps...

My RAM is Crucial Ballistix CL 3600. Is this b-die or something else?

My new rig includes an ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E with a Sabrent Rocket 1 TB NMVe drive. The rocket has two partitions, including C: with Windows and programs, and D: for my data. I just noticed that when I was loading a program, or accessing a data file, the disk activity light on my case did not...

8 TB Easystore external drive. Even easier to shuck than I imagined. This video helped. Only disappointment is that I got a WD80EDAZ - 11TA3A0 drive, which is a 5400 RPM drive. But the Black Friday price was right, and it's going to used only for daily backups, which I do last thing in the...

I'm considering this 24 monitor for my wife's system. It has great reviews and it fits the budget. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/818908-REG/ASUS_VS248H_P_VS248H_P_24_LED_Backlit.html/specs Only concern is that the height is fixed, unlike the old Samsung 17" my wife's system has now...

Now that my new rig has been running stable for like 5 months at stock settings, I think it's time to push it a bit for better performance. My rig includes: ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E m'board AMD 3900X CPU 2 x 16 Crucial Ballistix CL 3600 RAM. Recommendations appreciated for best guides.

What's the latest on announcement date? Features and specs, from reliable sources? Since I'm not a gamer, but a Lightroom and Photoshop user, even a 3070 may be overkill for me.

:confused: OK, so I opened up my system case and futzed around a bit with the PSU switch off. Then I turned that switch on, and the system would not boot. The lighting was on on the ASUS x509 ROG board and the AMD cooler but the fans would not spin. And the board did not go through the...

When my system is idling, temps on the Sabrent Rocket NMVe drive are mid-40s. Under use, of temps go higher, maybe 60 or more. Are these good temps? Should I get the optional Sabrent heatsink for this drive or a third party heatsink? (Any recommendations?) My motherboard is an ASUS ROG...

I had to get a no-name replacement printer head for my Canon MP 530 printer. So I put the head into the printer, but only one of five ink cartridges actually printed in a test, even though the printer detected all five cartridges. So I thought I should remove and re-seat the printer head. At...

With JBOD does the collection of drives in the JBOD enclosure look like one drive? How does JBOD compare with normal RAID? (I'm not being a troll here. I honestly don't know. :censored: )

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/der8auer-ryzen-oc-bracket-review reviews this item Anyone using it? Easy to install? Change in temps?

We don't hear much about Drobo these days? Does anyone still use their products?

I have always wondered about that situation. If true, then I will get a wired hub for the home office.

I never gave MOCA much thought, but this thread really showed me what I was missing. https://hardforum.com/threads/increasing-wi-fi-range.1999107/#post-1044687009 Like 30 years ago, we did a big remodel and I put in 10Base5 coax Ethernet in the walls to go between first and second floors. It...

If I want to replace my old Intel board with this new AMD CPU/motherboard, what is the best order to install the new drivers, once Windows has booted upwith the new CPU/board?

https://www.newegg.com/arctic-cooling-liquid-freezer-ii-360-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835186249 Is the fan supposed to cool the chipset? Say on the ASUS ROG Strix-E? This AIO got recommended in another thread.

I do need to upgrade my graphics card, and settled on nVidia because Adobe seems to favor nVidia over AMD for GPU enhancements to Lightroom and Photoshop. That said, i'm not a gamer so FPS isn't an issue for me, and I do have a budget of $400 max for a 3-fan model (for quiet operation.) Can I...

A few months ago, I rebuilt my desktop with an ASUS ROG Strix-E, 3900X CPU, and 32 GB of CL 3600 RAM plus an NMVe SSD. I was planning to also get an RX 5600XT (with three fans for quiet operation), but I was really put off by all the posts about driver issues, black screens, etc. By the way...
