I ordered a 3300X over 5 months ago and am giving up. I've got a B450 Tomahawk Max, 16GB 3600 ram, GT710 and 500GB 970 evo all unopened waiting for a cpu. I've currently got a i3-2105 that desperately needs to be replaced. I upgraded the case, psu and storage drives (4) 8tb Ironwolfs last year...

Hey [H], I'm in the process of upgrading my old file server and have run into a speedbump. I have a Supermicro board that I had a bunch of HDD's attached to and was using Windows Storage Spaces for "backup". I'm moving from a bunch of smaller HDD's to 4 large HDD's but keeping the same...

Hey [H], I've got an X570 system that has just started waking itself from sleep every once in a while. I did a little research and it appears it's doing this every 2 hours. I did a little research and found that this has apparently been happening every 2 hours since the 10/28/19 @ 1:46pm est...

Hey [H], I'm starting to worry about my old file/media server. It's nothing super special but it's got a lot of older drives in a case that isn't amazing for airflow, hdd's are getting hot! I've lost 2 hdds this year already, mostly do to age and 24/7 uptime. Here's what I currently have...

Anyone else run into it on here? Specifically I'm referring to loading windows or an OS and having the system restart before fully loading the OS. Entering the bios and messing around or running memtest86 is fine but there will be no OS loading. I'm not going to rehash the entire...

I'm curious to see what people here are playing at. As faster and faster monitors are released I'm curious how many have moved up to higher refresh displays.

Hello all, I'm pretty sure my board has given up the ghost. I have an Asus Crosshair VIII Hero X570 board and it was running great until about 3hrs ago when I decided to upgrade to the latest bios. I did everything by the book, downloaded the new bios installed it with a usb drive, no issues...

So long story short is I miss my SB AE-5 when compared to the onboard audio of my new board (X570 Hero). Because of my vertically mounted gpu (necessity, not for aesthetics) I don't have room to install the sound card in the main compartment. I'm wondering if anyone thinks using a pcie-x1 riser...

Hey all, I'd like to do some testing to make sure that my ram is stable. I'm not really looking to do anything crazy but just to have stable ram at the advertised speeds (if possible). I've got (ryzen3 build) (4) 8GB sticks of 3600 @ 16-16-16-36 Trident Z Neo that I've got working at the...

I'm not 100% sure where to put this but here it goes. I've got a home/file server that I'd love to not have running 24/7. I believe that wake-on lan may be a great way to remedy this as I can just turn it on remotely when I want access to it. I have not looked through the actual bios yet but...

I'm finishing a new build and have run into a few snags. The 1st being that the HDD that I'm trying to install behind the back panel on the vertical brace/case support/wiring hider doesn't fit. It probably has to do with the PSU that I chose but I wanted to pass this along to others. I'm using...

Hello all, I'm finishing up a new build and am trying to decide if I want to move my current sound card over (SBX AE-5). I'm no audiophile but here's the info from the new board, I do need 5.1 so I can't go USB dac. SupremeFX S1220 CODEC‧ ESS® ES9023P High Definition DAC 120dB SNR stereo...

Which M.2 slot am I supposed to use? Does it not matter? I'm not seeing a specification in the manual.

I'm finalizing a build and am trying to decide between Corsair ML120 Pro's and LL120's. I'll be running 9 fans (PC-O11D), 6 as intakes and 3 as exhaust. 3 intakes will be on a 360aio in a pull configuration, 3 as regular intakes and 3 as regular exhausts. I'll lower the speed on the 3 strictly...

I'm trying to decide on ram for a 3900X upgrade and have everything picked out other than the memory. I'm looking at the Asus X570 Hero that does support the Trident across the 4 dimms per Asus, the Corsair model doesn't show on their list I'd like to stick to 32gb (4x8) of 3600-CL16 ram. I'd...

I'm looking at doing a major system upgrade in September and with the news of the debacle WD and Toshiba are going through I'm wondering if it's worth grabbing an NVMe drive now in the event prices start creeping up? I'm looking at grabbing a 512GB 970 Pro.

After logging in today I was greeted by a notification change that Dropbox was adjusting my current 1TB for $100yr plan to 2TB for $120yr. Their new personal plans are as follows; Basic (2GB) - Free Plus (2TB) - $119.88yr Professional (3TB) - $199.00yr I'll take another 1TB for $20! :D...

Update - I sent it to a farm upstate after it donated some pieces to a fellow [H] member. Any reason to hold onto this thing? It's the bare case but it's got all the bay covers, pci slot covers, original screws etc and the 200mm top fan still works great but the 2 intake 120's could be...

I'm doing some spring cleaning and finally decided to tackle my cable collection. I ran across a USB 3-B to 20pin cable and I don't remember it's purpose or where it came from. I did some googling and didn't come up with any uses. So, does anyone know what purpose this would serve? I can't...

*Update - Resovled I messed with it some more and I am able to place a shortcut or a folder with a shortcut on the Start Menu in any of these folders individually and it will appear. Folders have to be created in those folders though, creating a folder elsewhere even with a shortcut in it and...

Hey [H], I've got an older build that I'm trying to tweak the cooling/dust collection on. I've got an Antec Air540 case with a full set of DEMCiflex filters (minus exhaust) and an Arctic Cooling 360 aio. The 3 (120mm) aio fans are in a pull configuration and the 3 non pwm stock case fans (140mm)...

Hey [H], I was asked to speed up a 4th gen i3 laptop and wouldn't mind some input. It's a basic Toshiba laptop, 4 years old and has pretty much been unused. I'm wondering if it'd be worth upgrading it's 6GB DDR3 1600 (2&4) to a higher amount? It can support up to 16GB. Most of the 16GB (2x8)...

I've got an Asus EeeBox PC EB1007P mini PC without a use. Asus Product Page Specs: 1.8 GHz Intel Atom D425 2 GB DDR3 @ 800 MHz (Asus says 2GB (2x1) max, Crucial says that it can accept 4GB (2x2) It currently has a flaky 250GB WD Black but I've got a spare 250GB SSD that I could use in it...

Hey [H], for some reason I cannot set my resolution higher than 1920x1080. I had it set to 3840 x 2160 previously but for some reason it is now set to 1920x1080 and that shows as being the highest. I am running a 1080Ti with the latest drivers and a Sony X900-F (4K TV). Under both Display...

I want to grab a couple "newer" games to play and Battlefield 1 and the Metro Redux's are catching my eye. I've played the beta of Battlefield 1 and enjoyed it and I've played through both Metro's but not the redux's. 1. Are people still playing Battlefield 1? 2. Did they mess up the Metro's...

Hey [H], with NAS's being all over the place as of late and the prices becoming more reasonable I'm curious if I'd see any true benefit from switching to them. I currently am just using this as a local backup of Dropbox and for storing movies and music. I connect to it through typical Windows...

Hey [H], I need some audio help. I’ve currently got a SoundBlaster Z that I am using with a set of Logitech Z5500’s and some AD900 headphones. The sound card is starting to give me issues, I’ll have to restart the pc to get it to work or uninstall and reinstall it on occasion. I’d like to move...

Hey [H], I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the operating systems subforum so if it needs to be moved go ahead. I have two questions really; 1. I have a file server that's got an old OS drive in it (160gb blue) that I'd like to replace. I bought a 250gb Samsung 960 evo to replace the...

I've been out of the pc gaming world for a bit am now back in. When I left Steam was king, that still appears to be true but it looks like it's got some competition. I'd like to give Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 a shot but it looks like Origin has different options. I can either buy the games...

Hey [H], the 3.5mm plug on my AD900's is starting to cut in and out if I bump the cord. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to pick up a 3.5mm replacement plug? I see them on Amazon with absolutely terrible reviews and what looks like the same thing on ebay. I'm happy to spend...

Hey [H], sorry if this has already been covered but I'm a little boggled. I bought a Win 10 Pro key to upgrade from 8.1 Home. I used the multimedia creation tool to install Win 10 but when I went to add the Win 10 Pro key I bought it was already activated using Win 10 Home? I don't remember...

Hey [H], I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 49" Sony X900F 4K TV to use as my desktop display. Rtings.com lists it quite high as both a PC monitor and a gaming display. I've looked and looked and there isn't really much between 27" and 49" that fits the bill as I don't want ultra wide...

Hey [H], wondering if anyone has these two or knows what the differences are? The MK2 has an illuminated Corsair logo (I don't care) but I'm not seeing a lot more that.

Hey [H], looking for some advice. My gpu died so I'm in the market for a replacement but I've got a couple things to consider. First, I've got an older system with a 2600K, P8Z68 and 16GB ram which I have OC'd to 4.4GHZ. I'm looking at a 1080ti and a 4K TV to replace my non-existent gpu and...

Hey [H], I've got a few older systems that I am not sure what to do with. Abit IP35-Pro Intel Core 2 E6500 4GB DDR2 800 Scythe Ninja 2 cpu cooler Asus A8N-Sli-Premim AMD 64 X2-4200+ 4GB DDR 400 Zalman CNPS9700 cpu cooler Asus A8N-Sli-Premim AMD 64 X2-4200+ 2GB DDR 400 Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P...

Hey [H], do to a pending display upgrade I think it might be time to relocate my old Logitech Z5500 setup and start using headphones for my primary audio. I've currently got a SB-Z card, the aforementioned Z5500's and a pair of Audiotechnica ATH-AD900's. I really like the headphones and unless...

**Edit** I don't know how I missed this but I followed it and it worked. DNS Client Function Discovery SSDP Discovery UPnP Device Host ***Edit 2*** The above video worked great for seeing everything but for some reason one of the pc's could be seen but not accessed. I tried everything and...

Hey [H], a thread in general mayhem got me thinking about adding some lights to my case. I just finished moving over to the Corsair air 540 and figured why not. Before I start, I'll note I also want to add footwell lighting to my car so I'm going to be grabbing some extra supplies and a single...

Hey [H], I've got an AIO cooler and I'm not sure where to plug the pump in vs the fans. I'm assuming that I want the pump running 100% and the fans controlled by the board? It's the AC Liquid Freezer 360 but I'm only using 3 fans in the pull configuration. It has a 3pin plug off of the pump and...

It's been a while my [H] brethren, I've got an older system that is still working pretty well for me but could use a little more oomph. The current rig is an Asus P8Z68-V Pro mobo, stock 2600K, 16GB (4x4) PC3 12800 (9-9-9-24), Antec Skeleton case (open air), Corsair AX750 psu, SSD and stock cpu...
