thanks, just tried changing my secondary (Dell) monitor to 60hz in windows:
But my Alienware still doesn't allow me to push the refresh rate to anything over 144hz (no 165, no 240) unless i turn off the second monitor:
Secondary Monitor off:
i dont need/want both monitors at 240hz.
I have an Alienware 27in (240hz) as my main, but a Dell 27in (165hz) as my secondary, don't ask, i got one after the other on sale.
I just want my main Alienware to run at 240hz when i have my Dell 27 connected. When both are connected, both drop down...
Waiting to replace my RX580 so that I can support Dual Monitors over DP (240hz + secondary monitor (max at 165hz, but i dont really care since its not for gaming, just have it.)
Currently, whenever i even turn on the second monitor, my main drops from 240hz to 144hz. Tried all different DP cables.
I currently have a small office with 2-3 Workpro (model 9000) chairs. I need to contact them for warranty work for 1 of them but i can't seem to find their contact info or website. Can anyone link me?
and.... this is why people go to LTT: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1185699-advanced-watercooling-question/
Lots of great info there. Lots of responsive users.
So i'm looking to get my custom water loop up and running again. i've had everything since 2010 and everything was working amazing the last time i took it apart. I'll do a test loop for leaks / pump functionality before installing.
My parts:
Swiftech MCP 355 12v DC Pump

On my Aorus B450 motherboard, i have Realtek ALC-1220 onboard sound. The sound works fine, and the Front Panel 3.5 jack works fine when i plug in headphones. Sound quality is also good. I just don't have any dashboard for customizations or any type of user interfance to modify the type of sound...
hmm... i just changed my main wifi router from the Verizon G1100 to the TPLink Ax1500 (wifi 6). Is it simple to set up the Verizon G1100 as a repeater (aka range extender?)
sorry @VirtualLarry since you've heard this multiple times already, you can disregard. i'm pretty crappy with networking...
cases are 90% subjective. They all cool within 10% of each other in the same price range. Quality is also within 10% of each other within the same price range. Buy the one you think looks the best. and you'll be within 10% of the best in the price range for cooling, and within 10% in quality.
You're going to want to upgrade your MB, CPU, GPU (and in turn, ram)
you can try to reuse some stuff: PSU, Case (maybe), HDD/SSD), monitor.
I'd go with the AMD 3600 or 3600x, and spend a $300 for a video card for 1080p gaming @ 144hz.
the Aorus B450 Pro Wifi has over the Tomahawk Max:
1 additional m.2 slot (you'll want this in the future) (The aorus has 2x m.2 + included heatsinks)
1 additional PCI-E x16 slot (also backwards compatible with PCI-E x1
2 additional usb 3.0 ports in the rear (over 2.0 slots on the Tomahawk)
It...
the lancool 1? didn't know they still made that. I have the lancool 2 if you have any questions about it. also, stop getting 2.5 SSDs when NVMEs are so much faster and more convenient. you'll regret it after using the pc for 6 months and everyone has NVMEs and the speeds are blowing everything...
I wish I could upgrade to gigabyte, currently no real need (or at least I haven't been tickled enough) to get gigabit. I actually only had fios 100/100, now they had a deal for a "free, same price, $40) upgrade to 200/200.
So far the only negative is my 2 4 speeds are way below 200,and even...
so its been a few days and with the help of the forum and mainly Larry, i've spent $130 and risked my life in NYC to go to Microenter and bought an AX1500 router https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax10/ + AX3000 PCIE adapter...
yea speeds i'm getting r similar to the G1100. I'm looking for better reliability for all my smart devices and not have to fear network problems if i wanted to add more.
What do i need to do to get OFDMA working?
@VirtualLarry so i just installed the new TP-Link AX10 today (https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax1500/) and set it to my existing SSID's so that i wouldn't have to update every single IOT / Smart device and multiple computers/tablets in the home.
My setup is:
2x WFH...
and what plan do you have with WoW?
the only difference between a PCIE and a USB is that u plug in the USB to the back of the case and something sits on your desk somewhere, or with PCIE you insert 1 screw in to install it and you either have nothing that sits on your desk or you have some tiny...
What internet service do you have at home?
I'm on Fios 200/200 and just got this PCI-E adapter and so far its working well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZV2CJL2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
there may be cheaper options depending on how far you are from your wifi...
Larry, i swear, this keeps coming back, even without restarting windows. i would disable it and uninstall it, look away for a period of times and it comes back
Also heres my multiple BT devices in device manager, any way to tell which is my MB BT and which is my new on from TP LINK PCI-E...
Gotcha my new PCIE card also has BT, and theres multiple BT devices under HW connection. Any way to differentiate between which is my onboard BT and the PCIE BT?
Hey Larry, do you know how i can fully get rid of / disable permanently the selected "Wifi"? I believe thats my MB's onboard wifi. Whats cut off is: "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168"
And i'm currently connecting with "Wi-Fi 3"
The onboard wifi is potentially interfering with the PCI-E...
Yea i cancelled the order for the AC68 card. I was going to go for the TPLink Wifi 6 Router + Adapter setup from above. The adapter was actually only $50, vs $69 for the Asus AC68 (which i'm sure is equally as good.) i'm not fully sure whats the benefits of AX over AC??
Also.... Since my wifi...
i should just update my other more relevant title thread, but damn installed only the PCI E Wifi Card and got these speeds at 6pm EST NYC
Whereas I just ran Speedtest before disabling my onboard MB wifi:
i do have coaxial plugs built into walls, but i've only ever used a coaxial from my Fios Router to my Fios Set Top Box. i no longer have fios tv service. How do i get a Coaxial setup for better wifi?
Thanks to some help on this forum, i just picked up This router and wifi adapter to upgrade from my Verizon G1100 + Aorus B450 Pro Wifi onboard Wifi. At home, i have Fios 200/200 internet, and my Note 9 + S9 can easily get 200-300 up and down nearby the router, but since i'm WFH and my main PC...
The hassle of installing an nvme drive... Lol
Because of the hassle I'm just gunna sticknwoth my trust 3.5in hard drive from 2001. Shut this thread down no need for ssds at all, too much hassle
You are continuing to derail this thread.
Next one gets that person a vacation.
esquared...
No, i cut out their fios tv (Youtube TV, NF, Amazon Prime)
Let me get this straight if i want to use my g1100 still as the main Router (for IOT devices)
-I can configure the TPLINK AX1500 Router to another SSID, set DHCP to Static, Change IP address to something other than 192.168.1.1 (like...
ugh... i'm too shitty with networking to know how to do that. U live near NYC and want to make a few bucks or a bottle of scotch?
Would that TP Link setup be good enough to run in-place of the Verizon G1100 router?
Which Duo would be best to pair with my Fios 200/200 home internet?
22 devices connected (2 computer, 2 phone, 5x crucial security cam/home safety devices, a few smart light bulbs, chromecasts, 2x Smart TVs)
Both WFH and req fast and stable internet
or
Thanks for the detailed response. I placed the order for that Wifi adapter in the OP, will try with that first. Was wondering... how is this still still considered a good wifi adapter in 2020 if it came out in 2013??? Would u have recommended another PCI-E wifi card?
Next i'll try to change the...
My note 9 and S9 both get 200mbps using Fios 200/200 in my living room, 10 ft away from the Fios G1100 router. I've since started to WFH so i had to set up my main pc in a room far enough away that i'm "only" getting 130-150 speeds using the 5g network.
I'm wondering if this wifi adapter is...
