@VirtualLarry Huh, not sure what you mean. It was an honest inquiry about a problem I had building a system.

@mikeymikec Yes, the CPU was sold and shipped by Amazon. I also checked the "pins" and all looked fine. It also didn't work with just one or no RAM modules installed. It always showed the CPU light, i.e. the board couldn't see the CPU. @ch33zw1z power connections were triple checked. I was not...

I have a new MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi motherboard with an i7-10700K. Unfortunately, whatever I do the system doesn't boot. The screen stays blank and there are no beeps from the BIOS. Based on some googling it means the PSU has issues the CPU is bad the MB is bad The PSU should be fine as I...

I have a Trendnet TPE-S160 and the fan is very loud (high pitched whining noise). Is there some replacement fan that I could use that cuts the noise a lot?

I have about 200 DVDs that I want to rip 1:1 to iso files. Basically: * I don't want any compression at all. I will do that later on if necessary. * I want a program that can handle scratched/old DVDs. * I want an exact copy except... * I prefer region coding removed (most of the DVDs I have...

It's mostly the CPU time that is slowing things down (disk, RAM, networks seems fine). So it seems you are also pointing toward...

I need a new PC and after a lot of research I thought I am going to chose the 9700k over the 8700k. They seem mostly equal with the 9700k edging out the 8700k a little bit. I was fine spending $30 more on the CPU and $30 more on the MB. Also, the 9700k supposedly addressed the issue of...

I have a PC some 50' away from the monitor and keyboard/mouse. The monitor is connected to the PC via HDBase-T. The problem I have is connecting my keyboard/mouse to the PC. All USB-over-Ethernet extender require a direct connection (it can't go through a hub) but I don't have any additional...

I wanted to buy a Factal R3 but it seems only Newegg and AVADirect carries them in the USA, the latter at very high prices. Newegg does not have the Titanium in stock. Why is it so hard to get these cases? Are they going out of business?
