880m runs HOT!

Hot I expected but this just seemed a bit much. Cooling wise, aside from repasting/repadding its all stock. I would imagine being an Alienware that gaining control over voltages would be possible but I have yet to investigate.

880m runs HOT!

So, long story short, I happened upon a dead Alienware m17x (I'd wager its a R5, its from late 2014) on CL. Guy wanted $250 for it. I met up with him, took a peek and offered $190, he went for it. After some poking around I was pretty certain it was a bad board. Got a new board, installed...

How do you ASIC mine?

If the answer (for one who is inexperienced) is, "you dont", thats fine but figured I would ask anyway. Long story short, I have never done any crypto mining but have read the stories here and there so I have a drop or two of knowledge. Saw a box at a garage sale and thought it might be a...

Best HDMI Switch? (4K/60 4:4:4)

Not...sure........what???!! I'll wager you arent a gamer? Minus my Dreamcast (may it rest in peace), I have pretty much every major console since 1986 connected (though NES stuff upscaled to 4K is a bit....odd). Not certain how I'd play Forza AND Gran Turismo if I only had one or the other...

Best HDMI Switch? (4K/60 4:4:4)

Ok, I give up. I would like a new HT receiver. Trouble is I have now listend to just about everything I can find in the $2500-$3000 range and I can find nothing that touches to audio quality I get from my current Receiver, a Yamaha RXZ-11. Listened to an AVR-X7200 an hour ago and..it...

Someone tell me I won't need to upgrade my PSU!

I was afraid of that. Never had an issue with dual 1080's but the TI are....a bit more power hungry. Drat. Perhaps I will give er a shot when they arrive and see if I can make it. If not..perhaps a 1200w Prime?

Someone, just TELL ME what card to buy (AX53)

Ah ha, didnt realize one was 3rd party. As for Google, just as big an enemy as a friend. After exhaustive research it is MUCH more resourceful to simply ask individuals who own the product and have first hand experience. Simple, straightforward and much more useful than "go try Google".

Suggest some IP cameras for home security

Personally, I have 6 various model Hikvision cams. I cant say much to their motion detection as I have them recording 24hrs a day to a local HDD but the 2-way audio offered by some models works well and the clarity was enough to help catch the person who broke into my car several months back.

Purely for gaming(High res or high refresh?)

Personally, I go higher res all day long (4K (Dual 1080's)), but I am not a "twitch" gamer and prefer the clarity to the extra advantage of a high refresh rate.

Some solid advice here to be sure BUT, with a little research, 4K can be had and enjoyed with ease. The MOST important factor, don't skimp. Make sure you have the budget for not just the 4K display, but all of the devices needed to max out its potential. As for color and chroma depth, some...

A 4K problem (4K projector, 1080p receiver)

Oh it could easily be ME thats missing something (hence asking in the first place). However, the signal I get from the 1080 is 7 channel PCM. best I have been able to get from the SoundBlaster would be 5 channel PCM. (At least, thats what the receiver is interpreting)
