Hello, I am following the below guide to set up the 10GbE card built-in of my PC running Windows 10: https://elements.tv/blog/achieve-maximum-ethernet-performance/ I have the following questions. 1. In Step 1, I went to Advanced tab and selected Jumbo Frame. I changed it to 9014 Bytes as...

Hi, I have a BT keyboard that can also be connected to a PC via usb cable. I prefer to have everything wireless to make the desk clean. Whenever I go to BIOS or bootloader to choose the OS of my dual-boot system, my keyboard does not work wirellessly. I have to connect it to the PC via a usb...

The problem is that the laptop manufacturer tightened the screw so hard that I cannot remove the stock NvME from the laptop.

After waiting for six months, Samsung eventually released the 970 Evo Plus 2TB. Bought it on the day it was released and it looks like it is DOA. I put it inside a Adwis USB 3.1 SSD enclosure (which I know is working) and connected it to a laptop. Did not show up in Windows when I clicked on...

Hi, I have tried both X1 Yoga Gen 3 and Yoga 930C. For both laptops, when I flipped into tablet mode, sometimes the screen became non-responsible and the laptops became laggy. Is this a common problems due to Windows tablet mode or any Windows 2 in 1 laptops? When using the 2 in 1 in tablet...

Hi, somebody mentioned that although Intel has released new 9-gen CPUs, laptops with these new CPUs will also have thermal and noisy fan issues (could be even worse) because they are also 45W TDP. Is this true? Given the same case and cooling system, will those with new 9-gen CPUs be quieter and...

Hi, is it useful to learn these things? Given that there are applications like Dreamweaver that allow users to build websites easily, what is the point of learning these things?

I tried the Creative Katana since my room is small and I cannot mount speakers to the wall. Also don't want to have too many things on the desk since my TV is 49" already and I have a full tower PC next to it. Compared with the nice but desk facing speakers from my Sony 49" HDR 4K TV, this...

I have no idea how much throttling I am willing to deal with. If no lag in using Office, Youtube and Adobe software, that would be sufficient. I don't game but I want to use the laptop to do CUDA computations some of the time. So if I prefer a light (below 1.9kg) laptop with less noisy fans, I...

Hi, I am looking for a laptop (below 1.9 kg) that has RTX GPU and is silent. Can't stand those jet engine noise. Is there such a laptop yet?

To connect a desktop computer to a soundbar or AVR for Atmos, do we use the HDMI ARC port or just HDMI port of the soundbar/AVR? In the case of the former, we will run out of HDMI ARC port to connect to the 4K HDR TV because most soundbar/AVR has only one HDMI ARC port? Can the HDMI ARC port be...

I got a reply from Corsair about what the update does. They mentioned: "It fixes a couple of RGB compatibility issues. It will not affect the RAM itself, only the RGB component. If it does fail the update I can provide the file for a manual flashing of it." So it is fine to do it?

Hi, I read that unless something is not working, it is better not to update the BIOS of motherboards. How about the RAM? I am using Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro. I got a message from Corsair iCUE that firmware update is available. Should I update it or just leave it as is?

How likely will the 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD be available within a year? For NVMe SSD, what is the limitation of size?

Sorry for not being clear. I am talking about NvME M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD. I am using a 970 Evo 1TB SSD on my Windows desktop right now. If I get two 970 EVO Plus 2TB, I will put my existing one on a laptop.
