Tried flashing most current bios with Q-flash (the manual and website instructions for all this are basically non-existant), and it said the bios was invalid. About to try flashing in steps of 3-5 versions. Will take me 4 or more steps, as I'm on the launch bios from over 5 years ago and to...

I'm looking for some software that I can use to operate my own cloud. Mostly internal network, its not even necessary that it can reach out across a WAN, although i'm sure all software has this feature. I'm looking for something like Dropbox's sync where I have local folders mirrored across...

Looking at upgrading my R5 1600's, thinking about getting some R7 5700G's. They are like $20 cheaper than the 5800X's, and only 100mhz slower clocks. I kinda like the idea of having APU's on these systems, because 5 years from now one of them might end up in my garage or workshop PC, sans...

So I happened across this game. It's in pre release right now, but they do regular playtests. The play test just this past weekend was my first and I have to say it's got all the features, and basically everything works. More impressed with this than I've ever been with a BF release...

I"ve been having a minor issue with my Chromebook(GalliumOS 3.0), it wont save alsa sound settings. I've chased the issue to the alsa-utils startup/shutdown script, reached out to the developer, and was given this as an explanation. Can someone help translate this? Specifically what does he...

I'm considering upgrading my 1600 cpu. I have a gigabyte x370 gaming. Currently with Gskill 3200-14 ram. Since ryzen works better with faster ram(IIRC 3600 is a sweet spot for the 3xxx) I'm wondering if that would work? I'm thinking it might since the memory controller is entirely in the...

I'm beginning to think I'm doing something wrong with my setup... In order to get file sharing to work, I turn off password protected sharing, and share a couple key folders "read only" with "everyone". I also have to turn on something i dont remember on each computer deep inside the network...

I'm wiring a new house with cat 6 and rg6 for satellites. Looking for some feedback on my plan. Rg6 runs into the server cabinet, enough for two dishes. Cat 6, 4 each runs to master bed and main living room. Three runs to each other bedroom, one to kitchen and utility room, two in office(server...

will this work? I have very slow internet, so I want to network my PC's together on a wired LAN thru an unmanged switch, and then use a wifi adapter in 1 pc to bridge that connection through the swtich. Is this possible? Objective being my home network works more reliably and faster (file...

To build a maximum cheap home server. Any 4core+ FX and 8gb minimum for the RAM.

Looking for cheapest way to get an enterprise level server set-up at home. Looking at a used dell 1950, but i'm worried that its too deep for a cheap rack... Is there better options? No real plans other than something to play with at home. Might run a small web server, test/learn some open...

SO needs a new system. Looking at moving her GPU into my machine and using VM's with hw passthrough to avoid building another box. Less clutter, etc. Also much cheaper to have 1 honking system than 2 mid-range. how-to's on this seem far and few between, and focus mostly on different software...

So I'm looking for reasons to buy a home server and run some vms. Partially because I want to be able to run some Linux software without having to dual boot. For testing ERP systems and other business server things. And partially because why not. I want to be able to set it somewhere and run...

I'm never going to own either of these, but they look like they have the funkiest packaging. Who has the best box?

Teasing yesterday about a possible announcement today, assuming they actually intend to make an announcement, when do they typically do that? Or is it random?

I have 3 HDD's in my PC, 2 have bootable windows installations. One i quit using for a long convoluted reason. Basically I bought a new larger SSD and wanted windows in it, but too lazy to uninstall the windows on the other HDD (sorting through downloads and user documents and shit, just didnt...

What are your thought on how ryzen 3000 will be priced after ryzen 4000 is launched? I'm torn on upgrading my systems to a 2700 given the bargain basement pricing right now, but I'd really rather not and get a 3700 or better. Do you think the 3000 series will get the same discounts the 1xxx...

Ever since "gaming" mice became a thing there's now hundreds of gaudy cheap looking RBG shit boxes. Originally my favorite mouse was the tiny Logitech mice (back when mice had trackballs), followed by the Microsoft intellimouse, the white and grey one with two side buttons. I'm getting fed up...

Not a very [H] piece of hardware, but I'm kind of annoyed I spent about $1500 a year ago on a new ryzen 1600, 3200ram and an Rx 580, only to have it be marginally better than my girls 8320e with a 570. Playing battlefield V she's rarely under 60 on high settings, while I'm rarely over 80. Also...

I'm considering manufacturing a custom case. I may just do it for myself or open it up with a kick starter or something. Any thoughts on enthusiast features that are not readily available in retail cases? What would make you pay $200 for a case? I'm not talking SFF but a real case. Stainless...

In the past spinning disks usually failed slowly, with noises and other things that made you know it was dying. I just had an SSD quit booting. I put in another SSD (ironically an RMA replacement for one that failed over a year ago) and reinstalled windows 10. It still shows up in the bios, and...

So I've got all my computer's mining right now and I would like to get my gaming rig back. To do this I'm thinking I could put all my mining GPUs one one system. The problem with this is I only have a seasonic 850w PSU. With three cards underclocked and undervolted it pulls 650w at the wall...

Hi, I'm trying to offload some upgrades parts. Ships from Canada. +Shipping for all. Two Radeon HD7870 Gigabyte Windforce OC 2gb $100ea obo, $150 for the pair FX 6300, 8 GB Kingston ddr3 1600, asrock 970 extreme3 R1, with a rather large cooler Master hsf. $150 Alternate option, Mobo, CPU...

Does anyone else wonder what will happen as 480's and 580's become no longer as profitable for mining as newer cards? Will there suddenly be tens of thousands of cards available for next to nothing? Will this bring PC gaming back? (not that its actually really gone anywhere, but you gotta know...

I tried checking their website for parts when i broke it about 2 years ago, but i really like this case and would like my headphone port to work again, anyone have any ideas? Is there a fractal rep on this forum that might be able to help? The port broke by being hit while the headphones were...

So i've been waiting since amd launched 470's and 480's for a 470 to show up under $220 CAD to buy. So that didnt happen, then 570's, same deal, then holy shit. now video cards are almost not available. So I wandered through a local store the other day and they have zotac mini gtx1070's for...

I didnt check US prices, but in Canada 570/580 are close to 150% of msrp. Stock is better these days, but prices still....
