Hey does anyone have any monitor recommendations for a professional artist who uses programs like Maya and 3ds MAX? I'm looking for a 27" or 32" that costs less than 1k Right now I'm thinking the BenQ PD2706UA, it looks like it's an IPS panel. Primarily I'm looking for monitors that have eye...

To boot the company did that thing where they tell everyone "don't worry everyone gets to keep their job" and then proceed to lay off 30% of the entire company shortly after. Absolute scumfuckery.

I have no moral qualms with what they are doing because approx 5/6 projects at this company just got canned. So these artists spent years working on these projects only for everything to get canned b/c of a buy out/take over. If they don't archive the art work they created it will be lost in the...

Hey guys thanks for the responses. So what's going on is it's a game studio that is laying off 30% of the employees and all of the artists are scrambling to take screen shots of all the work they did before they get laid off. I guess your not supposed to do that but it seems artists in this...

Hey my co-workers told me that they copy files to drop box from the work computer and that's how they get around the security measures installed by IT. Does this sound like a good way for him to copy the files without triggering some sort of windows file transfer security the employer put in...

Hey could you guys please help me out? So I'm trying to restore a corrupted partition on a 2 TB drive using Active Undelete. I complete the scan but then once I try to restore here is the message it gives me; I have a 18tb drive that I want to restore the partition onto but it gives me this...

Buying the drive from Amazon

Hey does anyone know how to check if a hard drive is a refurb or not? I heard you can check by using a program called CrystalDiskInfo but can't figure out how to find that in the program, does anyone know per chance?

Does anyone know what would be a better option for storing backups that are rarely accessed, HDD or SSD? I thought that SSD were supposed to be more reliable but some guy told me that if they are not fired up on occasion the data risks getting lost, does anyone know if that is true? Also...

Do you guys think it's worth dishing out the cash for NOD32, or is regular windows built in anti-virus do the same thing?

Consumerreports.org did a testing of all the different laptops and said the LG Gram was the best one. My girlfriend bought one 2 years ago and I was really impressed by the build quality. It seems like a very high quality build to me, I think consumer reports is right.

Alright thanks I just ordered it, hopefully it works out!

What do you think about woot.com, do you think they would be worth taking a chance on? Here's a link

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase an LG Gram 15Z90Q-P and have been looking around for a deal. It's selling for $1600 at Costco right now, but it look like it's almost 50% off on Tanga.com Do you guys know if tanga.com is a reputable seller? They have a D on better business bureau. Do you...

Don't plan to run on power for too long, just long enough to save files and shut down the computer. How do I check my system draw under load?

I don't know much about UPS or how they work, so if I have a 850 watt power supply than does that mean a UPS like this one would be sufficient? What if I were to have a 1000 watt power supply? Also does anyone know if there is a specific brand/model of UPS that would be considered the best?

I saw some guy do it on a youtube video Do you guys think this would be a bad idea or that you risk damaging hardware?

I don't know the exact temp while I'm running Valheim but I'll check next time I play. The computer blue screened and forced a restart, then on the post screen it had a message about CPU overheating.

An IceGiant ProSiphon Elite with Noctua fans added on would probably be the best air cooling you could get.

I'm cooling a Threadripper 3970x with a stock IceGiant and my CPU is overheating while I play Valheim. Looks like the stock fans aren't powerful enough for how much heat a 3970x generates. When I boot into bios my CPU temp is at 55 c, and I live in a cold place too. Does anyone have any...

I am only getting about 25fps on average in Valheim with a RTX 3090 and AMD Threadripper 3970x and 128gb of ram. Is this normal? Shouldn't I be getting way more FPS with my hardware? I attached screen shots of my graphic settings + EVGA precision

Hey guys I am a bit confused, does anyone know if the Asus Prime TRX40-Pro mobo supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 Type C or just regular USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C?? In the motherboard manual it just says "Type C" without the "2x2" behind it, so I am assuming it does not support the 2x2 double speed...

The input lag was actually my main concern over NKEY roll over, people say it's not supposed to be a big deal but my OCD thinks otherwise.

I need to use a USB extension cable for my mouse and keyboard to get them to fit onto my standing desk, do you guys know if doing so would cause input lag and degrade performance for competitive shooters like counter-strike?

Does anyone know if using a ps/2 converter on a usb gaming mouse would reduce input lag? I heard that it's supposed to reduce input lag on a keyboard so was wondering if it would do the same thing for a mouse.

Hey I have an old Filco Ninja Majetictouch 2 that I bought in 2012. Was wondering do you guys know if I can just plug it into the USB and the nkey rollover will work, or do I need to put on a ps2 converter onto the end of the USB and plug it into my mobo's ps2 slot for nkey to work??

Holy shit people still remember this game other than me?

I just put together a new system with a Asus Prime trx40-pro motherboard and a ThreadRipper 3970x. The system seems to be working fine but the chipset fan does not spin. Some times it appears to slightly sway back and forth as if its attempting to start but cant. Does the chipset fan only turn...

What do you mean the ISP business office? Like contact the ISP and just ask them for recommendations?

Thank you! He doesn't know very much about computers so I'm assuming he's not maintaining anything. I'll ask him next time I see him. I will definitely tell him about MSSP's, do you know how I could go about finding a good one to recommend for him? His office is in the Seattle area.

A friend owns a small physical therapy office, his network has 1 server, 4 computers and 6 users. His vendor wants to charge him $5000 for a SonicWall TZ570 with 3 year subscription and $1500 for the install so $6500 total for 3 years of fire wall. Do you guys think this is worth it or is he...

I'm confused about the Threadripper pro processors. I thought you were only supposed to be able to buy them directly from pre-built computer companies. How come at Microcenter they have the Pro versions for sale? Does this mean that you would be able to buy the Threadripper 5000 series for a...

Hey does anyone know where I can get the shittiest sounding possible microphone for my PC? I wan't it to sound like either Daffy Duck or I'm talking through a can.

Their saying that only the Threadripper pro models will be available.

Hey does anyone know if the new Threadripper 5000 CPUs will use the same ram as the Threadripper 3000 CPUs?

Hey I am building a new system and was wondering if you guys think it would be worth waiting for black friday / cyber monday to get parts on a discount? Do retailers like newegg even offer any deals worth waiting for? Mainly looking to grab a bunch of Ram and Sarbent nVME and maybe a computer case.

I have an old Asus P6X58D and just managed to get an RTX 3090, does anyone know if it will work in a PCI Express 2.0 even though it takes 4.0? Do I risk damaging the video card by plugging it in? I'm waiting for the new Threadrippers to come out before building a new system so I thought I'd...

I hope this guys leak is correct been waiting nearly a year for this chip

So you think getting a burner phone for WeChat won't be enough? Their paying an extra 100k per year over my previous gig.

Will be starting a new job, remote work with a Chinese company that requires the use of WeChat and in the contract it literally says they spy on you. I'm using an Asus router and looking to increase security. Do you guys think flashing to either ddWRT or OpenWRT would be a good move to...
