So I was going through my stash of RAM and found a couple Dell 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM modules I had forgotten about. Decided to try them in my Precision 7740 sporting the i9-9980HK CPU to see if they would run properly. I already had 4X 16GB DDR4-2933 sticks running in this laptop at 2933...

So I am working on getting one of my old programs to compile with VS 2022. And of course a couple of the libraries I used are super outdated and even the newer versions have not been updated in years thus the VC project files had to be upgraded. To top it off, I need to set the correct paths...

I have an ACARD ANS-9010BA SATA 2 DDR2 RAM drive I want to use for older systems. The manual says that it will not work with registered RAM. There are 3 different designations that I would like clarification on, but only if you know 100% for sure what the designations stand for. For example...

I just got a retired system with a SuperMicro X9DRG-QF motherboard. The case is also a SuperMicro case and has dual 1KW 80+ Platinum PSUs. I plan on sticking 4x Quadro cards in this and using it primarily to mess around with GP-GPU programming. Already ordered a couple 2697 v2 CPUs for it and...

We have a single Windows 10 computer that is bringing up the UAC prompt in order to open the cert manager. Anybody have any clue as to what would cause this?

First off let me say that I don't have a 3d printer myself but do have a family member and a friend that have 3d printers. I am needing to make a model for a replacement lense hood for one of my DSLR lenses because a new one is not available and the aftermarket ones are way overpriced. I did...

Looking for a guide that has any actual good information for overclocking Ryzen 5000 series is pretty much impossible. Seeing some random people say to use PBO and set the wattage / amperage limits. Seeing others say to set the voltage lower than stock while others say to set it higher than...

Looking for a couple G1/4 ball valves that are 3/8" when open. I ordered a couple XSPC ones but they are only 1/4" when open. The pics of all the other ones I saw look like they are also only 1/4" when open. I know I can go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get some nice, high quality ones (never...

I've already had to drain and clean the pump and block twice. Thought I got all the stuff out after the first cleaning but more freed up and is clogging the block again. This is on a new setup so it is just stuff coming out of the radiator. Looking to get a high flow in-line filter that has 0...

I've looked at a ton of reviews for different thermal compounds. I've never run across one that graphs the time it takes for the temps to rise or graphs on temp spikes on the way to the final high temp or the time it takes for the temps to go back to idle temps. With the massive difference in...

I used to enjoy the picture threads. Looks like the last good one was for 2018-2019? Anyway, I took these pictures while on a camping/fishing trip with my oldest son.

Microsoft took the Windows Driver Kit 8.1 and 8.1 update files offline. I can still get the web installer, bir it fails because the files it is supposed to download are not there. I found that Chocolatey has one labeled as 8.1 but not one labeled as 8.1 update. Anybody have a saved offline...

This topic has come to mind every once in a while and it always makes me ponder what the huge deal is with worrying about hashing algorithms such as md5 for executables. Even if you were able to reliably change the content of a file to return the same hash as the original file, other than...

Setting up a new/heavily upgraded computer for a friend. They would like to use Microsoft Picture It! which only works with up to XP. I was looking at Hyper-V and saw that the host OS runs on top of Hyper-V as well. Not sure if this will hurt timing as far as video editing goes so want to get...

I need to either get some good double-sided thermal tape or epoxy. Anybody have any experience with current products? Most of the stuff I am seeing is either complete trash or super expensive. I do have a lead on some Arctic Silver thermal adhesive but I am kind of wary of getting it since it...

I'll start. This is a 500GB 5400rpm HGST HDD from an older ASUS laptop. And it failed at the end so I have to try again. Just trying to get it working well enough to be able to image the drive to an SSD so I can hopefully get it to boot so I can upgrade it to Windows 10. I'll add the other...

Not sure if this is the correct area to put this in but I didn't see anything dedicated to VSTs or the like. I'm trying to test out the Massive X demo but I am having trouble with VST host programs crashing as soon as I try to play notes after changing the default waveform. So far two have...

The water cooling bug has hit me. I need a cooler better suited to my current setup and decided I want to go ahead and do a custom loop after looking at the prices and reviews of CLCs, Already did some research on CPU blocks and found the one I wanted for a good price and went ahead and ordered...

I have an old Rocketfish / Lian Li full tower case. I think there is just about enough room above the expansion card slots to add a 3-slot vertical mount. This case is 8" wide but there is no space behind the motherboard to put cabling. Are there any full tower cases wider than about 7.5" from...

Sooo.. finally a board that is almost perfect except even with the massive number of PCIe lanes, it still doesn't have enough to run everything at the same time. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/Pro-WS-WRX80E-SAGE-SE-WIFI/ If you are using a high performance...

Working on setting up a Dell Poweredge r720xd for local backup and ftp server. Any reason for me to update to any BIOS after the last one that doesn't have the performance killing security patches? Edit: I updated to 2.5.4 which is the last before they started doing all the "security patches"...

I just swapped out my x79 setup for a x99 setup. Why the crap does ASUS and other mfgs for that matter think it is a good idea to disable an x8 slot when using an x4 PCIe M.2 drive? Why not just drop the PCIe slot to x4 instead? Am I missing some rational reason here or are the motherboard...

This is one of my auctions. Mostly just posting here for erek to see it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284097461533 I am selling 2 Arcnet cards. One of them is a Nestar / Zynar card that I believe is from 1984. Seems to be really rare as I couldn't find any information on it and only a single pic...

Been shopping around for a replacement for my crap TN 75Hz monitors and found this Deco Gear one on sale. Specs are nice and form what little I could find, people seem to like the Deco Gear monitors...

I have plans to set up a public ftp site mostly for retro and vintage drivers, manuals, and other software. I have a couple different options for servers but the specifics of those are not all that important at this point. I will also be using this server for local backups / data sharing and...

Sooo... I ordered a used Intel 6950x off of eBay from China for $78 from a person claiming that they upgraded to a new AMD setup. What are my chances I get a working 6950x? The pictures in the post were of an actual 6950x. The seller also shipped it the next day. I'll close the poll and...

Sooooo... we have a couple identical Dell Poweredge R7515. In the one location, the LAN vswitch basically just dies on one of the hosts.... it happens on both, but never at the same time. None of the VMs on that host using that vswitch are able to be pinged. If we power off the VMs and...

So Antlion stopped making the modmic 5 and there are apparently not even any usedf ones available. They replaced them with models named modmic usb and modmic uni. GRRRRRR. Anybody use the modmic USB or uni? How do they actually compare to the modmic 5? Antlion's "comparison" uses their USB...

My current setup uses a XEON 1680v2 overclocked to 4.6Ghz. I am contemplating going to an x99 setup with a 1660v3. I would be: Going from 25MB cache to 20MB cache DDR4-3200 instead of DDR3-2133 Whatever else the x99 setup offers over the latest x79 setups .. see rig in sig. I already have a...

The cheapo gaming headset me 8 year old has just died. It is no longer detected by the computer. I want to buy a new headset for him but want something that doesn't suck. Looking to spend around $50 max. Doesn't necessarily have to be brand new. Ideas?

Earlier this month I purchased a used 1080Ti locally for a good/great price. It ended up being faulty but still under warranty. I registered it on the EVGA site and then called up EVGA. They asked me a few questions about it and then issued me an RMA. I sent it off and once it got there, it...
