It is certainly an option to just have them inside my case as well. I don't know why necessarily, but it just sounds easier to me to have it separate/externally. But I'll definitely take it into consideration as well. You are correct, sir! I didn't know there was a difference between the two...

Just my own PC needs the access. At least for now. I'm uncertain as to what you mean by what type of back up I use. I just copy the files manually at the moment at random intervals whenever I have a lot to copy. It's not done automatically at the moment, as they're on external harddrives I...

I don't quite remember anymore what the issues exactly was. It was a long time ago. I ended up selling it, since one of the bays also died unfortunately, and QNAP quoted me a price that was almost the price of a new one. My NAS wouldn't necessarily need hotswap capabilities, no. If it was a...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm on Windows 11 at the moment. I do like the idea of keeping the harddrives plugged in, and just syncing it automatically to the backup drive straight away. I'll definitely look into that. I did consider, and I've had a NAS previously. I love the idea of having...

Hi everyone! As the title says, I'm looking for a fairly easy to use and cost effective way to store data. I have a lot of videos for my YouTube channel, and have so far been backing them up on external harddrives. (Specifically the Toshiba Canvio Basics 4TB). I bought 2 back in the day (One...

Simple question: How?? I'm getting grey hair here trying to Google what on earth I need to mount this thing. I really don't know what such a thingymajiggy is called, but I'd honestly assume it's a very simple little thing, that I can just screw in and voila.

Hi everyone! I recently bought this monitor and after a week or so of use, I noticed that in several places it seems like the bezel isn't entirely attached in several places. I've attached a photo to show what I mean. It's in a handful of spots around the monitor. (Not actually sure it's part...

I'm running Windows 10 on a MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WIFI. The behavior has been there since I build the PC back in march this year. In regards to the POST, the PC starts, and there's just a black screen with a "_" curser blinking. Then after 5-10 seconds it continues and shows whatever it's...

Thank you, I'll definitively look into that. More then a few seconds. I'll say it usually takes around 10 seconds for them to wake up. It's a good point that we're used to SSD's now, but I don't think this is the issue here. Uff, you're speaking chinese to me. They're both connected directly...

Hello everyone, I recently took some 6TB WD RED drives I had in a failing NAS and put them in my new desktop PC, simply because the drives were fairly new and to save some money on buying new harddrives. They've been working fine, but they're really slow to wake up whenever I want to access...

One of the local stores just announced they'll be recieving some MSI 3X 3060 cards in a couple of weeks. I think I'll try to see if I can't snatch a couple of those, as the 3060 seems to be the best bang for your buck right now, if you can get one from a store that is. I like the option with...

So I'm in the process of buying a new PC (Parts being difficult to get and all), and I want to buy some case fans. In this search I've come across several questions that I've had difficulties finding an answer to. So I turn to you guys, who have always been super helpful in the past. I'll be...

Haven't checked here for a while, and I had no idea this thread had gotten so many new replies. Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. Unfortunately we didn't see a lot of them until after we already bought. We went with the Edifier R1700BT. Managed to find them for around 150$ USD (In...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately they're a tad out of our pricerange here in Denmark :) We do not have an amplifier, no. It was something my wife looked into, because she came to the conclusion that if we got some better speakers not intended for PC, we'd need one. I fear though that...

Hello everyone, Me and the wife are looking for a new pair of PC speakers, and could use some advice. First off, this is what we're considering: My wife has her eyes set on the Edifier R1280T. She's had bookshelf speakers before, and really liked it. I'm considering either the Logitech Z333...

Revised build. Both the SSD and the PSU really just represents whatever I can get when I'm buying the PC, and are not really final choices. The motherboard was a difficult choice for me. There seem to be tons of choices that all does quite fine and everything I need. I decided just to go for...

So I'm still not sold entirely on the Ryzen 7 3700X. Again, I have limited knowledg, so I might just not be seeing it. But comparing the two, it seems like a limited upgrade considering it's just shy of double the price. My systems usually last at least 5 years, and I'll be expecting the same of...

Thanks for your reply. I actually did watch the video in the link before you posted it, as I did want to find out which would be better for me. I'm unfortunately not super into all the tech stuff on this level, so it's still difficult for me to understand the actual differences. I think for me...

Thanks for the suggestions. The CPU you suggested is quite a bit more expensive then the one I chose. Almost 3 times I think where I'm from. Why do you suggest this one? The PC will be used for gaming primarily. For the GPU, not knowing what those things are, how long would the wait be you...

Hello everyone, Me and the wife need a couple of new PC's. To that end, I've been researching what components is hot right now. Before we pull any triggers though, I wanted some advice and input on the parts I've chosen, and the system as a whole. I've come up with this list. (PCpartpicker)...

Hey everyone. I'm looking into buying a couple of new PC's for me and the wife. And instead of just outright asking for builds in here, I wanted to do some research myself first, maybe even put together a couple of builds before asking for advice and input. So my question is where do you guys...

Just for anyone that cares. I tried with a new PSU and it ran without any problems for about a week. I then assumed it is either my old PSU or a cable from the PSU that was at fault. I put in my old one, and changed what I could. Luckily I have a modular (I think it's called) PSU, and it came...

Thanks for the replies fellas. I borrowed a PSU from work, and will try and change it out on wednesday and see if it changes anything. I have not changed anything in the PC, so I'm almost certain it's failing hardware. If it still crashes with this new PSU, I can only assume it's the...

So, it took a while to test it because the crashes happen randomly, but I've now tried ports 2, 3 and 4 in my motherboard, with a single stick of 8GB RAM. I tried with both my sticks (One after the other), and it doesn't matter which stick or port, my PC still crashes. I don't have access to the...

I looked at IKEA's website as well, and found the BEKANT model to look quite nice. Reasonable price and size. We'll have to go look in the store and hope that it's on display somewhere so we can touch it, and find out what surface we like best :)

I'll probably end up going the custom route. Purely because the option I'm after might not exist here in Europe, and price. I hadn't considered asking around for someone to help me make it though, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the replies. Yes, gaming is the wrong word to use, hence it was in quotation marks. Customizable is a better word. It's easy enough for me to find a desk that's height adjustable. However that's not quite the only thing I'm looking for.

Never too late to the party. I appreciate your comment. I'm glad to know there's a real chance the Shield will solve my issues. I'll definitely check out the thing with PLEX beforehand though, thanks for the suggestion.

Hello, I've been hunting for a new desk, and I would honestly like something that's a bit minded towards "gaming", in the sense I'd like some in build cable management, somewhere to put my tower for instance, and/or other gimmicks. I stumpled upon the EvoDesk. Now while expensive, it's...

Thanks all for your replies. I've been out of commision for a couple of weeks so I haven't really been able to keep up with a lot of things. Yeah, I came to the same conclussion about transcoding being the problem. Which is why I've been looking into getting some sort of streaming box. With...

Thanks for the input! Unfortunately, I only have standard harddrives in my NAS. I have 2x6TB drives plus 1x3TB. I'd have to sell my soul to be able to afford that kind of space as SSD's.

Okay, so I tried plugging in the ethernet cable directly to the TV. For some reason, PLEX still buffers, although much much less then before. It's still unwatchable, but it's better. I tried watching 10-20 minutes of a movie directly from the NAS, I saw it buffering for a few seconds once during...

I'm a big fan of simplicity myself. I work with computer repairs, but I'm by no means a tech guy when it comes to networks, bitrate, formats and what have you. I will look into the Nvidia shield thing if everything else fails. Not knowing what it is, is it something like the Steamlink I have...

Thanks for your reply! I have a QNAP TS-451A, and the PLEX server app is installed and running on it. I found a list somewhere at some point when I was Googling all this, and it stated quite clearly that this NAS can't transcode 4k movies. Again, due to lacking knowledge I wondered if, as you...

First off, I'm not sure this is in the forum, or if it belongs in "General Software", please feel free to move it if so, and apologies in advance. I recently bought a couple of harddrives for my NAS, after a very long time not really having any space to store movies or other files on. Thinking...

Unfortunately I can't just buy new RAM. I have to stick with what I got for as long as I can :)

I tried changing it. My PC had problems starting up, and when it did I got an error message saying the overclocking settings has failed. I tried twice with the same result. For now, I've left it on "Auto" which is something like 328 or something like that. My next step will be to try and change...

I honestly don't know if it's a QVL list, but I found this one. I clicked on "Memory by Skylake", since my CPU is a Skylake. My apologies if you asked for this earlier, I missed it if that's the case. Thanks for the explenation! So those numbers are pulled from some predetermined XMP profiles...

Thanks for the suggestion. How come you assume those would be the most stable settings? And why 1.35v? I don't know if there's a simple answer to that question.

I don't know if any of this info will be helpful to you, and I apologize for it being a bit of a long post due to images: The first 2 pictures shows my settings (After I changed them to what you see in the last picture). The 3rd picture shows something I'm not quite sure will be usable to me...
