  1. Question USB-C up front

    Well, all I need is a way to easily connect a SMART card when needed (which is not often). I currently have a 3 ft. cable connected to the rear C port to connect my phone for file transfer; I reckon I can just get a female-> female adapter for the cable that I can plug the card reader into. I...
  2. Antec Performance Series P82 Flow ATX Mid-Tower Case w/Tempered glass window $49.99 after $15 rebate - Newegg.com

    Working with the P7 Silent variant of this case. Nicely engineered, per usual with Antec.
  3. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    Must have been a short. Connected just one of the fans for the BeQuiet cooler, it spun right up and F2 took me right into the BIOS. Thanks for the suggestions and help.
  4. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    I agree, and had I thought of it (Doh!), I would have tested the mobo outside the case. Had never run into the standoff problem before, so I didn't suspect it until I put my thinking cap on. Life is for learning, yes?
  5. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    Yep, made sure of that when I started over; now every standoff in the case supports the motherboard and has a screw. If this turns out to have been the issue, it strikes me as odd that the manual (such as it is) doesn't make a point of letting the user know. Will fire it up today with fingers...
  6. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    Well, pulled it all apart, set up outside the case and sure enough the CPU fans spun up. So, unless I am mistaken, there was a short created in/by the case. Have put it all back together but haven't fired it up yet. Question: if it doesn't spin up, what would likely be the cause? I've never had...
  7. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    Today I am starting over, but first will a) try the stock cooler on the affected headers, and b) plug on of the fans into a case fan header. If the problem should be a faulty header, then I guess the next move is to return the mobo to the Egg, but I've never done such a return and have no idea...
  8. Question New build, cooler fans will not spin up (in the case)

    So, put together a new build today, and at first power up, fans in BeQuiet cooler would not spin up. Case fans work fine, graphics card fans ran, all else appears good. Corsair 550W PSU, Asrock B450M Pro 4 mobo, Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, Corsair LPX 3200 RAM (2x 8GB). Power leads from fans on correct...
  9. Losing your hair

    Iost most of mine to typical male pattern baldness in my early 20s. Nothing to be done about it, just deal. Keep it short and life is simpler. I'm at an age where it no longer matters how I look, just so long as I can look. ;)
  10. What is the oldest item of clothing you still wear?

    I have two short-sleeve button-up shirts I've have for over 10 yrs. now and they are still as good as ever. Got em at Mervyns years before they went under, and not a stitch has dropped, the fabric is as solid as it was when I bought it, and I still look good in them. No plans to get rid of them...
  11. Galaxy S 20 - Do we care?

    Thank you! Being cooped up as we are brings out the nasties on these forums (who may well be like that anyway), but I'm pleased to see the mods stepping in.
  12. SyFy The Expanse

    Hmmm, perhaps I should re-read/re-watch. Could be my memory is failing me. It will also be interesting to see if anyone in the cast goes on to equally good roles in other genres. Now that production has come to a Covid-19 halt, actors are waiting to get back to work, and we are equally ready to...
  13. Small electric razor?

    Excellent, thanks!
  14. Discussion Old-timer PC guy with a new itch

    Well, my last rebuild was the most fun I'd had in a while, and the case was the only part that made it to the new machine. My sig tells it all, and it ran me about $900 all told. Didn't want to go with liquid cooling, and it's only in games that I hear the fans (1 case, 1 CPU, 2 GPU) spin up...
  15. Small electric razor?

    About a month into growing a goat and using a blade to tidy up is a pain. Can anyone out there recommend a good, affordable small razor for tidying up? I have an old one that take multiple heads, but it's seen its best days. Just for every other day maintenance on cheeks, upper neck, etc. TIA.
  16. Is there ANY easy way to add music to my iPod/iPhone? I haven't been able to for YEARS!

    FWIW, I do not use the current version of iTunes, but ver. 11.01 because it streams radio with much less hassle. No, I can't manage my collection on my Android phone with it, but there are other applications that can. You can find earlier versions of iTunes on the interwebs, so you might try...
  17. Question Been out of it for a while, new build suggestions please

    This. I spent over a month figuring out what components I would go with (and yeah, Intel was never under consideration) and once decided upon, each part was ordered and added to the pile. Once it was all here, it took me all of 3 hrs. to assemble it. Had a bit of trouble getting the Sammy 970...
  18. Question Bottleneck?

    It's been my sense that something will prove to be the bottleneck in a system, be it graphics card, RAM, whatever. I finally upgraded my vid card to my current one, and for sure I could have spent a lot more for newest and fastest. Still, this one is a leap ahead of what I was running in my...
  19. Which printer brand to avoid if wanting to use generic ink?

    In all fairness to the mod, the OP's question might better have been put "Which printer has no problem with third-party carts?" Just sayin'...
  20. When did you start computer gaming?

    Well, I got my first PC in '88 (still have the receipt!), so it couldn't have been much later. Maybe '90? I remember getting a Microsoft Mouse for Word 4.0 (again, DOS) and with it came a copy of Windows 2.0, which ran on top of DOS, and not well ;). Then came the shareware games, which led to...
  21. When did you start computer gaming?

    The first real game I got that challenged me was one called "Colony," circa 1989. You traveled around the surface of a planet (no textures to speak of) in a first person craft , hunting for captured hostages. Structures were all wire frame, no 3D or much else. Actually lots of fun on a 10 MHz...
  22. Online traffic school recommendation?

    Thanks to all, but yeah, the comedy one has been recommended to me by others as well. The whole thing is a scam, the "infraction", the fine, and the "school."
  23. Online traffic school recommendation?

    Just paid my fine for a speeding ticket that includes going to traffic school. The list of online schools is ridiculously long, so I'm asking if anyone out there can recommend one they completed. I'm in CA, so I have no idea whether I need to use one in the booklet they gave me or if the...
  24. Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    Just visited the DVM to get a license renewal/Real ID and EVERYONE I dealt with was polite, courteous and friendly. The people I work with should be that nice!
  25. Who Wins Super Bowl LIV?

    I'm predicting nothing. Imagine the odds you could have gotten in Vegas on GB being scoreless at the end of the first half yesterday? If it all comes together for the Niners, they can beat KC. I just hope it's a good game.
  26. Question What GPU to get in the $200 range? Should I buy used?

    As you can see in my sig, I'm running a Radeon RX 570, and honestly it handles everything I throw at it (Wolfenstein Youngblood, Doom, MW5) without much stress. The 8GB copy ran me about $140, dollars well spent in my view.
  27. Question PCIe slot for storage expansion

    Good to know, thanks! And yeah, intake.
  28. Question PCIe slot for storage expansion

    As shown in my sig, I'm running a Ryzen 5 3600, so I reckon that concern is null. Good to know about the throughput of the slot. I figured this setup would not give me the performance I'm getting from the Sammy 970 Pro I have in the PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot I boot from, but even so it would be nice to...
  29. Question PCIe slot for storage expansion

    I'm afraid I failed to make my desires clear, so let me try again: My goal here is to add another NVMe drive to my system using the SIIG adapter. I have enough (three, to be exact) SATA3 drives as it is, so if this slot, described as "1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot (PCIE3: x4 mode)" in the manual...
  30. SyFy The Expanse

    So far I'm really enjoying season 4. What I don't get is that it doesn't follow the last installment of the novels; not that this bothers me, as I found the last novel something of a disappointment. I just figured the show would stick closer to the book. Still, one of the best TV shows I've ever...
  31. Question Windows Live Mail in 2019

    I thought this application was dead and gone, but I just downloaded the Essentials "suite" (such as it is) just for Live Mail, and it works like a champ. This has always been my favorite client, and I'm really glad to see it still works under W10. I know it won't enjoy updates, but as long as it...
  32. Question After 7 years its time again? (new comp build)(FINISHED w/UPDATE)

    You might consider the Samsung 970 Pro (I'm biased, I admit it) over the Adata offering. Your boot drive is not where you want to go "less expensive."
  33. Question Building a high end Lightroom / Photoshop PC, how does this build look?

    This. Intel just got their a** handed to them with the release of the Ryzen 9 3950/60x. Costly, yes; but you will know where that money went and it should easily last you several years.
  34. Question PCIe slot for storage expansion

    Yeah, I could, but I'd really rather just keep it all internal. Good to know about the speed difference (or lack thereof) with the adapter. I will keep an eye out for deals on an NVMe drive and pick one up. Thanks.
  35. Question Type of coax needed for Xfinity, and this is *cable*, right??

    I live in a heavily forested rural area (every summer we hold our breath; just exhaled with our first big storm), and the infrastructure here is out of the 1940s. Everything is on poles, so we feel lucky we can get cable speeds. Honestly, I don't know how AT&T is going to compete; even their...
  36. Adobe's CC Photographer's Plan?

    I'm using Luminar 4 right now, and honestly it does everything I need with a fairly elegant interface. Gone are the days when I just had to do all the local adjustments to an image that LR does so well. When my subscription with Adobe is up, I'm out. If they let you go month-to-month, I might...
  37. Question PCIe slot for storage expansion

    So I have a free PCIe (2.0 x 16) slot in my mobo that I think I can use with a SIIG PCIe adapter I bought some time ago that will take an NVMe drive. According to the info on SIIG's site, this adapter can only be used with an NVMe drive (M key), and is not compatible with B key drives (SIIG...
  38. Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    Sorry, but every boomer I know can do this. Erm, no. Not a high-tech skill; not even medium.
  39. Question TLS Handshaking is driving me batty (in FF at least)

    Yep, it was the profile. New one now keeps up with my cable speeds. Thanks!
