I did a clean install of Windows 11 last week and now my KB/M are showing up with a whole bunch of "other devices" in the device manager. I can remove them, but they come back with every reboot. Everything seems to be working fine with the devices themselves, but I'm just curious what these...

I think my PSU is on its way out. Everything is still working fine, but whenever I play anything intensive (like Baldur's Gate 3), my PSU starts to smell like burning plastic. This just started yesterday, Temps are fine and it's not powering down or anything like that, but the power light on my...

With more people moving to the platform and so few motherboard reviews these days, it's nice to see something like this.

This might be the most realistic looking game I've ever seen. I'm sure the things will change over the course of development, but this is pretty amazing.

https://wccftech.com/corsairs-connector-shifting-shift-atx-3-0-psu-prices-revealed-1200w-for-189-us/ Beyond being ATX 3.0 certified and priced right, these have a different layout for the plugs that would make them face the front/back of your case. I kinda like it, but I can imagine it won't be...

Looking at the specs for these two kits (Dominator & Vengeance), they seem almost identical, yet there's a nearly $100 price difference between the two...

They're on sale and shipping, but reviews seem to be few and far between across the board. In particular I've seen absolutely nothing on the ASUS B650E ROG Strix board, which looks pretty ideal (for me) on paper. What are people seeing on this front and anyone have any good/bad preliminary...

https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-11-gets-brand-new-hdr-calibration-app/ This is similar to the ones built into on the Xbox and PS5 and helps get your maximum brights and darks correctly configured. Right now it's only supported in Windows 11...for reasons, apparently.

https://www.androidpolice.com/nova-launcher-acquired-by-branch/ I'm not going to be that guy who immediately freaks out and suggests finding a new launcher, but it's worth keeping an eye on. If you're on Android there's a 95% chance Google already has all of your data, but Branch is yet another...

I was curious about whether Netflix could display DV in Windows when I stumbled upon some random Reddit threads that say it IS possible. There are even links to this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/app/9pltg1lwphlf?activetab=pivot:overviewtab I was able to install the package without issue...

After using cable for years and years, it seems like everything we actually watch is finally available to legally stream. It seems like it would still potentially be cheaper than paying for cable, too. Even with services like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, etc. Anyone have experiences with local...

Pretty straightforward question. Anyone own either of these and have experiences that the normal reviews don't cover? I'm looking for caveats and good/bad personal experiences. I know that on paper the LG seems like the way to go, but it's about a grand more expensive (for the larger models) and...

The title of the thread says it all. I know there were some early issues with certain models having problems with the Xbox Series X and Nvidia 3000 series. I started looking into models from Pioneer, Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, etc. but a lot of what they're pushing isn't actually available right...

With the new consoles coming rather soon and video cards (like Nvidia's Ampere) potentially supporting it - anyone have a good resource for HDMI 2.1 TV's? Google tends to pull up old articles and most ratings sites barely mention anything about it. Even the manufacturer websites are overly...

It works fine: https://www.neowin.net/news/not-an-insider-heres-how-you-can-get-the-new-start-menu-on-windows-10-version-2004 I'm one of those people that likes to tinker with the Win10 visual elements. I like this new look. It isn't a huge change, but it's nice and subtle. A couple of my...

This is one of those things I've always been a little curious about. Mainly because the two work in conjunction with one another. My motherboard (MSI Z370) has a pretty elaborate control system for setting fan curves as well as for setting fan to DC or PWM mode. In addition to that, Corsair's...

Anyone have a good source for decently priced Xbox One pads? I'm looking for new ones from Microsoft, but I don't care about the color scheme. For years I've been buying black or white ones from Best Buy or Amazon for $39. I can't seem to find one for less than $65 from a reputable retailer...

I recently sold my Xbox One and am discovering that all of my other devices seem to have caveats with streaming. Either they don't do Atmos, they don't do HDR, and thanks to DRM my PC is really only worthwhile with Netflix. On paper it seems like the Amazon 4K stickls are the best option for...

Driver notes here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/zombie-army-dead-war-4-game-ready-driver/ Something I don't see any mention of - the Nvidia Control Panel is now a Windows 10 UWP app. It no longer appears in your control panel and there doesn't seem to be a non-UWP version of it.

I had no idea this game even existed until yesterday...but it's actually pretty good if you like the series. It's a little bit like the Underground games, but with the cops and a little bit of a plot tossed in. It's not going to win over anyone who didn't like the other games, but if you want...

I have a Corsair H110 that I've used for roughly 7 years with no issues. My fan settings are being handled via my mobo's BIOS and I mostly devised them based upon online recommendations and trial and error. Things seem to work fine. Are newer AIO coolers with real-time monitoring programs able...

Anyone on any insider ring has access to the final build of this right now. You can always join and then opt out after it installs, too. I just did an image back-up, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. Install only took about 15 minutes and I had no complications at all. Things actually feel...

Weird issue. Starting on Saturday morning, I could seemingly no longer enable Dolby Atmos in Windows 10. Normally it's my default since lots of Netflix content uses it. I'm using it via the Nvidia HDMI-out. Yet now no matter what I do, it won't take. Swapping my speaker array to it doesn't...

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Mice/DARK-CORE-RGB-Performance-Wired-Wireless-Gaming-Mouse/p/CH-9315211-NA On the surface this looks pretty similar to the G700, but is using newer tech. Plus, it's actually readily available. Anyone have one? How well do the thumb...

When searching this topic online there is rarely any recent information and even less good information. Lots of forum banter, but it tends to be old or people bickering. I'm aware that everything on paper requires features that only Intel graphics have. I'm just curious if any sort of work...

The subject line pretty much says it all. Looking to get a new large drive for storing system images and random things like savegame back-ups and program installers.I don't need it to be blazing fast as I won't be running anything off it. Yet I don't want Macrium Reflect images to take like 4...

After managing to bork some things along the way, I'm thinking about starting over with a fresh Windows 10 install. I can't specifically recall, but I think I'm probably on an install that has been upgraded from Windows 7, to 8, to 8.1, to 10. The joys of imaging software. I'm good about keeping...

The subject seems straightforward enough. What card model, settings, and program (Precision X1, Afterburner, or something else) are you using? Any tips or advice?

Anyone else pick this up? It's both fantastic and kinda lame at the same time. It contains nearly arcade-perfect versions of every arcade Street Fighter to date. It also includes online play for Hyper Fighting, Super Turbo, Alpha 3, and Third Strike. On the downside, the arcade version of Alpha...

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/geforce-397-64-whql-driver-download.html Hopefully these will alleviate the problems certain cards/setups were having last week.

Anyone here have a Denon S-model receiver? Those would include the 710W and the 730H. My trusty 710W is (of course) now out of warranty and received a firmware update last week. Upon receiving it, my Xbox One immediately started having sound issues. Bitstreaming audio would randomly crap out...

Long story short, Android 8.1 breaks notification functionality within PowerAmp and the developer hasn’t made an update in years. Their forums borderline mirror the Valve Half-Life 3 forums. If there is an update coming, it's more than a year late and it's probably going to be another...

Anyone else totally unable to get this thing to install? I get that one of the issues is a false install error, but I can't get it to install, period. Tried all the usual tricks (clearing update cache, stopping/starting services, SFC /scannow, etc.) to no avail. I can't get it to manually...

When I sold my normal Xbox One and PS4 (for the X and Pro), I included the the headsets in the package. Seems neither the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X include a headset in the box, so I'm now in need of one. Are there any good ones that can plug into both controllers via an adapter? How about something...

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017/dec/07/soulcalibur-6-announced/ I was never a huge SC fan, but I know a lot of people who are/were. Since it's running on the same engine as Tekken 7, it should run really well across all platforms. I love that fighting games are a thing again. They're...
