Edifier S730 install woes (no subwoofer sound)

Quick query

Overclocked and liquid cooled, will stock NVIDIA GTX 980s perform on par with branded cards? (Gigabyte G1, ASUS Matrix?)

X61 rattling woes

If this were air bubbles, wouldn't this have happened a long time ago? I've had the computer since late November 2014 or so.

ASUS Matrix vs Gigabyte G1 Windforce (x3) - GTX 980

Is it me or there's very few reviews of the former? I'm trying to compare both cards. Only comparative review I could find was the one of Hardware Canucks, where the Matrix only emits 50°C at full load, while it is 68°C for the Gigabyte.

X61 rattling woes

Hi, Recently (maybe a few days ago), my NZXT x61 Kraken started making some kind of rather distracting rattling noise. According to preliminary online searches, it seems to be a relatively common occurrence, either for this model or others. I tried my best to get some decent audio and video...

Phanteks Primo Glass Replacement

Does anyone know an outlet which does side panel glass replacement for the Phanteks Primo? I'd be particularly interested in having the easy to scratch acrylic glass replaced by actual glass, as done by many modders in this thread. I have zero manual skills. Maybe I'm using the wrong [French]...

Information Alarm Clocks

Rather clumsy design. 3$ monthly subscription. Bad reviews. Discontinued manufacture. Expensive. $100+ Meh. Tablet & dock it is. Just have no idea about which.

Information Alarm Clocks

Surprised that such products (Sony Dash Alarm Clocks) were discontinued in the early 2010s, and I can't seem to find any matching products from competitors that weren't discontinued as well. What's I'm talking about: http://dash.dash.sel.sony.com/ Thought about buying a cheap tablet with...

Cleaning agents

Hi, This might seem like an unusual question, but I was wondering;what do you personally use to clean your peripherals? I used to use anything that was at hand (Windex, Lysol), but since I've invested good amounts of monies in new hardware, I'd rather not prematurely damage my stuff with...

What are some of the most secure and affordable wireless routers?

Thanks for everyone's help so far. My reformulated question sent to Cisco: (any other companies I should perhaps contact?) I am not a small business owner, but I am interested by the more numerous and stronger security features generally included with the aforementioned devices. Namely, I am...

What are some of the most secure and affordable wireless routers?

Just noticed that I confused my Wi-Fi USB key, (Rampage IV has WLAN native support - GG ASUS) as my router model. I have a Cisco/Linksys E1200-CA running DD-WRT. That's what I thought. However, there seems to be a market for high-security routers? Newegg even sells dedicated hardware...

Scam?

Whois says that the site only went online in September 2014. Newegg.ca just received a batch of PG278Qs in stock, so drama avoided. Thanks for everyone's input.

Scam?

Yeah, one person is a far cry from a scientific sample, more so when most reviews online are written by people unhappy with their transaction; but the whole thing seems overly suspect. The first red flag that popped up is the fact that they allegedly have the PG278Q in stock, that's how I...
