  1. Question Unstable system only when both RAM modules are installed - what is at fault?

    Generally the problem is crappy or overclocked memory. Patriot rates it 3600, 18-20-20-40, 1.35V, only there's no such thing in DDR4, which goes up to only 3200, 22-22-22-32 and operates at 1.20V (absolute max. is 1.50V), according to the chip manufacturers. Memory tests run on PCs aren't...

  2. Honda Dealer Service - Tire Balancing for No Apparent Reason?

    I recently read in another forum that car dealership service writers can make $60,000-$100,000, and now I understand how. How much does the A1 service cost, versus Honda's required service? Dealership "recommendations" can be twice as expensive as the manufacturer's.

  3. How many Americans deaths will Trump be directly responsible for due to COVID-45

    Germany: 80 million people, 4000 coronavirus-related deaths . If that ratio held for the US we would have had 16,000 deaths instead of 58,000.

  4. Amsoil says "we're better" with their tests..

    PQIAmerica verifies ingredients in motor oil but does not perform wear tests. Oil can be formulated to make it perform very well on certain tests, without it necessarily protecting the engine very well.

  5. Question Weird old-timers question.

    I vaguely remember Shuttle being known for smaller motherboards.

  6. Question Weird old-timers question.

    There was a time when those two companies made identical boards that differed only in color, and the PC Chips models had soldered jumper wires instead of fuses.

  7. Question DDR4 3200 memory

    To be blunt, it's because it's not real 3200 memory but overclocked 2133. Real 3200 memory would be something like this: https://www.skhynix.com/product/filedata/fileDownload.do?seq=9272 3200 is its real JEDEC speed, no XMP

  8. What happened to the Highly Technical forum?

    Some of its stickies were priceless.

  9. 12-sided sockets?

    With some 6-sided sockets the square drive hole is rotated slightly to give a different angle with each face, making it easier to locate non-ratcheting handles, such as breaker bars, at almost any angle.

  10. Question HDD making odd noise when waking from sleep

    Or they're HGST drives with Coolspin. Some of the 5400 RPM drives could idle at 4500 RPM.

  11. Socket wrench set suggestions

    Apex Tool Co. makes several brands of mechanic's tools, including Sears Craftsman (now just Craftsman?) and Harbor Freight, Stanley (co-owner of Apex), and Home Depot's Husky.

  12. Discussion Reliability of current HDD's?

    The extra noise is worth it. RAID 6 with HGST Ultrastars.

  13. Car Battery: Costco, Walmart, or..?

    Those AGMs are still lead-acid but not conventional flooded lead-acid. And because the plates have better mechanical support (coiled up or tightly packed between the moist fiberglass mats), they can be made of pure lead instead of from lead alloys that cause water consumption (antimony) or deep...

  14. Mobile1 20k mile motor oil?

    But no longer fully synthetic. There's Pennzoil Gold blend 0W-20, only $20, but Walmart's fully synthetic Supertech is $5 less, and after rebate so is Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic.

  15. I drive extremely low miles. Oil changes?

    Manufacturers typically recommend driving every 2 weeks, 20 miles continuously each time, with the air conditioner running (set temp to hot in the winter). That's driving, not idling, which can be bad for the engine.

  16. I poured the wrong oil

    I haven't seen a manufacturer allow 20W-50 for any gasoline engine since the 1990s or 1980s, and the minimum temperature for it ranged from 0-32F. So don't use it below freezing or if you hear knocking at start-up.

  17. Are democrats really better than conservatives?

    Not when Democrats have meekly caved in to Republicans, but otherwise there is no longer any question as to the superiority of Democrats vs. Republicans any more; the Republicans have become lunatics.

  18. USB C trickle charging a laptop?

    Lithium-ion batteries can be charged slowly but cannot be trickle charged because overcharge is not tolerated virtually at all. Any charging mechanism must sense full charge and shut off completely.

  19. HGST UltraStar warranties & models?

    Almost all HGST drives sold ad new by lesser known dealers are used, grey market, or pulls from storage farms.

  20. Fixing roof leak at chimney

    Do something about the termites as well. Use two layers of flashing per side, a continuous piece first and over it shorter segments layered like the shingles. The latter lets water run off. Using just a continuous piece of flashing will make water run down under several rows of shingles.

  21. Battery chargers

    NiMH and NiCads are considered fully discharged at 1.1V per cell. Voltage at full charge should be 1.25V but in practice can be slightly higher, especially immediately after being charged (surface charge). I believe ideal charge rate varies from C/10 up to C, and above C/10 the current must be...

  22. Is electric charge in new TV body normal?

    An actual charge is absolutely normal with a 2-prong connection, if it's only through the two Y-capacitors, which apply half the AC voltage to the case ground.

  23. Shucking HD's is over?

    Is that with 3.5" desktop drives?

  24. Goodbye Craftsman ... hello B&D?

    They may become like the current B&D Stanley tool warranty, where the B&D will say the broken tool has to be returned to them but they frequently waive that requirement.

  25. Is electric charge in new TV body normal?

    There are RF filter capacitors across line & case ground and neutral & case ground (with 240V the second would be between ground and the other line), and when case ground isn't earthed, it floats to half the AC voltage because each capacitor drops half the voltage between line and neutral or...

  26. Surge protectors with UPS, household use?

    An electrician can install a surge protector for the whole house in the circuit breaker box, and it will likely provide better protection due to its more direct ground connection. By stating that, I am not trying to revive an an angry thread about this topic.

  27. J-B Weld has rotten customer service

    Their website says 500F, 600F intermittent (10 minutes). The lowest maximum temperature spec I've seen for regular slow-cure epoxy is 180F. Could the fact the original owners sold out to hedge fund managers or venture capitalists in 2008 for $20 million have anything to do with the quality...

  28. We all know a video card can catch fire but can it...

    No worry with a metal case. I'm not sure about side windows, but a maker of clear cases warned against using them unattended.

  29. Will you help Donald Trump make America great again?

    It's going to be impossible since Trump's ideas are so off the wall, and he has the temperament of a dictator and a child. Unfortunately too many Republicans have equally bad ideas and prefer power over principle, and Democrats don't know how to put up a fight.

  30. Am I crazy to buy Nest Protect smoke/CO detector?

    If that Nest's smoke detector is only photoelectric, as one of their other models is or was, it could be a bad idea since Consumer Reports it did not react at all to low-smoke flames, whose detection requires an ionization detector.

  31. How to engine flush a high mileage vehicle?

    Some old cars did just as well in frontal crash tests as today's cars did, despite lacking airbags. But I would seriously doubt they would compare with today's cars in offset and side crashes.

  32. Dead NAS HDD... will replacing the PCB bring it back to life?

    Not all of the firmware is updated. Certain parameters, such as the settings for write current of each head and the current for the head servo, are written permanently at the factory for the particular sample of the drive and must be maintained to prevent damage to the related components, even...

  33. Is my motherboard defective? **Screenshot**

    Yes, it doesn't report the voltages accurately.

  34. I bent some pins on a motherboard that just got sold for about $200.

    Yet another example of unnecessary cleaning causing damage. Resist the urge.

  35. How to engine flush a high mileage vehicle?

    Why do you want to flush your engine before replacing it? And you'll likely have to replace it much sooner if you do flush it, but the maker of the flushing chemical will deny responsibility for damage its product caused. Just keep changing the oil and filter every 5000 miles using high quality...

  36. Does a dying HDD show signs of dying or does it just die?

    Not enough to rely on them to predict failure.

  37. No O'Reilly thread yet? (Slaves that built White House were well fed!)

    Feeding the slaves good food made it perfectly OK.

  38. Impressed by Seagate's Customer Service

    I once bought some externals from Target that were in shrink wrap but had been crudely pried open and the internals drives replaced with defective ones. Target claimed they always inspected returns carefully, but that was obviously untrue, and they didn't want to exchange the drives except at a...

  39. Where do you purchase your hardware ... and why?

    Mostly Fry's (store very close), Newegg, and Amazon, with eBay for misc components like cables because sometimes nobody comes close in price. Amazon is currently offering a $50 credit for signing up for their credit card. Fry's isn't what it used to be but still still offers great deals...

  40. Seagate Owners CHECK your warrenty on Seagate it may have expired.

    Fry's recently had a sale on Toshiba MK2002TSKB drives like that. 5-year warranties but only a year of coverage remaining since the drives were 4 years old when sold -- new, not refurb. To make matters more pleasant, Toshiba tech support is often handled by a rather angry drunk.
