Hello all, I've recently made an effort to squeeze the last bit of relevance out of my old ASRock X370 Professional Gaming motherboard by flashing its BIOS (latest is 7.30), upgrading to a 5800X processor, and re-assembling the custom cooling loop to include a 6800 XT graphics card (previously...

I recently discovered that some mornings my home "server" needs to be manually powered back on. Looking in the event viewer there's clearly something logged, mentioning wininit.exe with a loopback address, but I'm not sure how to go about what is actually causing the system to power off. My best...

Love it or hate it, Subaru finally got us some decent pictures of the redesign. https://jalopnik.com/the-new-subaru-brz-is-more-powerful-and-looks-like-a-ba-1845704661 I like the front end but don't like the Honda/Acura looking bum. They managed to get that 2.4L making close to 230hp without...

Well, I had myself an exceptionally rough day today as I found myself sloppily and anxiously rebuilding my home server after a ransomware attack encrypted all of my files. Didn't really lose anything of merit, except my entire router and wireless controller config. Long story short... I've had...

I've been mostly happy using my current 34" panel (Acer XR341CK) for the past 5 years, but was considering an upgrade before Big Navi is released. The current IPS panel only goes up to 75hz (OC'ing nixes the FSync) and I'd like to venture upward into the 100+ hz range. I don't think I'd need...

DISCLAIMER: I understand that SLI support, as a whole, is awful, however what I am doing should work in theory--so I wanted to post it up anyway, for "kicks" if you will. SPEC: Intel 4690K Gigabyte G1-SNIPER-5 (Z87) 16GB G.Skill Sniper DDR3-2400 Corsair TX1000 PSU Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (fully...

I am no longer able to make backups of my OS drive with either Acronis True Image 2019 or Macrium Reflect 7.2; the process of imaging does not seem to initialize or start. Reflect mentioned something about VSS failing to verify or something; Acronis just stays at 0% (calculating time...

Guerilla already looks to be knocking it out of the park on the new console... srry if repost. https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/06/11/horizon-ii-forbidden-west-announced

nvm, repost. blah

I've been having this rather weird network connectivity issues on one of my PC's... but before I try explaining all of my ethernet drivers are up to date and I'm on the latest build of Windows 10. This board has both a Aquantia 5G LAN port and a Intel I211 Gigabit LAN port, in which I am using...

I've got an abandoned ASA 5506-X firewall that was left over from before the company I work for sold to another. It hasn't been powered on for some 6-7 months now and I wanted to see if I could reset it and possible offload it at some point. Problem is, it seems the reset button on the back has...

Sounds like network admins might want to push updates as soon as possible. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/01/patch-windows-10-and-server-now-because-certificate-validation-is-broken/ Affects Windows 10, Server 2016 and Server 2019

I switched out my pleb 2TB 5400rpm drive in my launch PS4 with a 2TB SSHD but I'm having an issue restoring the data from the external drive I used, formatted as exFAT. AFAIK FAT32 or exFAT should work fine... The backup data is about 600GB (full backup of all installed games, along with...

Have this older dual core (i3-3225 I think) PC that I use primarily use for home theater and streaming. It's got a 1GB GT 710 graphics card with DVI and HDMI. Signal to my TV (via HDMI) has always worked fine but more recently just kind of stopped. DVI still works so I tried adding the HDMI...

Interesting read and video: https://videocardz.com/newz/teclab-make-their-own-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-super Not something practical of course, but it actually worked. Must be nice to have the disposable income for modding projects like this.

I've been having this annoying issue lately that I can't seem to fix... every now and then one or two of my Windows 10 computers can't seem to get online. Sometimes, I can physically disconnect/reconnect LAN and other times simply waiting clears it up but it's rather aggravating. Windows 10...

...it's a damned VR title?! https://kotaku.com/valve-announces-new-half-life-game-1839930385 Valve's Twitter Post I feel violated.

This may have been covered elsewhere, however I recently tested it myself to great success with a Gigabyte F2A88XN-WIFI; wanted to share. Basically, in setting up a mini ITX media server I ran out of SATA 6G ports and needed another way to get a booting drive online. I wanted to use an NVMe...

At least GTX 1660 SUPER... accourding to ASUS HQ https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-confirms-geforce-gtx-1660-super-is-coming

I touched upon my difficulties with this update in another thread, but since it wasn't relevant to the topic I figured it was best to just start a dedicated thread. *specification of PC in question is listed signature, line #1* Normally I wouldn't make a stink about an update not working, and...

Alright, so this has been driving me to near madness for almost a week now. Long story short, we upgraded all of our equipment to Sonicwall at the office so I took the old Ubiquiti access points home since nobody wanted them. There's 2 UniFi AP-AC Lites and 1 AP-AC Long Range (LR) w/ PoE...

Story: my girl's 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited has (what sounds like) gear or differential noise that increases as the vehicle speeds up. The noise used to be quieter but has just recently gotten somewhat louder. The transmission should be covered until 100k miles but I'm not convinced it's...

These are not the same as Oil/Water separators found on boosted applications... but are similar in what they do I see these in a lot of engine bays these days... a canister that is placed between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. To my basic understanding, they claim to trap any...

I recently picked up another Vega 64 reference card second hand so I could resume gaming @ 4K while my main PC goes down for upgrades. Card works fine but I did notice something peculiar that doesn't occur with the other Vega 64. Upon looking at the temperature/usage graphs in AB it appears that...

Not an Opera user, nor do I think using a browser that is still in development/testing is wise, but some users might find this intriguing: https://www.opera.com/gx#start I suppose it could be useful for a small percentage of (most likely) younger users but I personally don't see anything...

In a sort of strange occurrence my B350 machine is totally acting up now; I've never had any issues with it before--aside from my 1500X processor being a bit of a turd of an OC'er. Anyway, the board is a MSI B359 Tomahawk Arctic and I can't seem to run two 3200mhz DIMM's anymore though I had...

Oh green team, what art thou up to this time? I honestly have no idea... I could count the number of times I was correct about an NVIDIA reveal on one hand. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-claims-something-super-is-coming

Apologies in advance if this is more complex than I mean it to be... but I'm pretty stuck. Basically, I have a SFF low power computer at work that I use as a personal file server and to run some older proprietary apps. This machine runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and does not have a monitor...

Finally made the switch to an NVMe drive from a regular SATA-III SSD since the prices have come down, but I overlooked something. Macrium Reflect wouldn't allow me to edit the size of the partition that contains Windows when I cloned it over. I was trying to jog my memory but I thought that this...

Disclaimer: I'm not big into welding but I'm looking for a solid machine that can perform quick beads for mainly DIY exhaust repairs--mild and stainless steel. Of course the machine will only be as good as I can weld but I don't really need anything that I can use to create those gorgeous tight...

I've a second hand MSI Z170 board that is giving me grief with a post code of 71 (late south bridge initialization?) and I can't get it to POST at all. The board is the Z170A XPOWER Titanium with dual BIOS but neither of them seem to work; code is the same. I've cleared the CMOS, tried different...

I recently bought a new set of wheels and tires for my 2013 Scion FR-S and I made sure to get the TPMS sensors put in by the installer/mounter. Now, I know basically next to nothing about TPM besides that it's been a requirement since like 2008 and if you don't have them you get a light on your...

Anyone reading into this yet? It's more of a service than a tangible product in part, but Google is hoping that it catches on; looks like they've already got a controller prototype in the works...

Looks like you 2000 series owners will soon have a gaming benchmark tool for your fancy high end feature, currently only supported in BF5... UL Benchmarks reveals 3DMark Port Royal for Ray Tracing Screenshot Slated to release January 2019; I'm sure AnandTech will feature it.

I have a 120mm radiator from an old Swiftech AIO kit, one of the very first I used ever, that I'd like to reuse but it's got a couple of issues. The entire piece is in pretty good shape for being just about 11 years old but it's got fixed 3/8" barb fittings and the paint has started to chip off...

I have a pair of these quirky little access points that I've flashed to the latest firmware (HW rev A, 1.42) but I'm still having an issue that just seems to keep coming up... I can connect basically any wireless enabled device to either AP without issue but one of them, though the settings are...

I've never been one for wearing watches, or personal accessories in general aside from hats and cheap shades, but I've been liking the idea of having a nice-ish watch for a few weeks now. I know there's a ton to choose from and I'm not about to go out spending 500 bucks on a luxury watch that I...

I was away this past weekend and wanted to view some Amazon Prime video on a hotel TV, a modern Samsung 50" LED smart TV. I know that I can stream wirelessly using direct wi-fi, which is certainly usable, but the quality suffers a bit even if the phone is within 15 feet of the TV. I mean, it's...

I have a lighting problem... seems like my '06 Subaru Impreza is a black hole for standard H7 halogen bulbs and I just keep having to replace them every 3-4 months or so. The PIAA bulbs I typically buy in pairs aren't cheap either so I'm looking for something else now. I wanted to ask if...

Has anyone experimented with having two separate D5 or DDC pumps manifolded together, so that if one pump were to fail the other could still operate? I realize that there would likely have to be two bypass lines with ball valves so that coolant wouldn't need to flow through a pump that were...
