Question Office 2021 key issues

This may be a little hard to explain clearly and hard to follow. Not sure if I did something wrong or what has happened. Bought a genuine copy of Office 2021 Pro Plus, actually 2 copies and 2 different keys for 2 different computers from ebay for my parents. Bought and installed them around...

Question TWC email address

TWC, Time Warner Cable was bought by Charter communications, which Spectrum is a brand of. Obviously the twc servers are still going but wasn't sure if there was any plans of shutting down. I have a twc email address myself, don't really use for anything anymore. I could have swore a while...

Question TWC email address

My uncle uses a twc.com email address. TWC has been Spectrum for a while now. He does currently have spectrum service. Is it possible to lose access to the twc email even if he keeps spectrum service?

Question Airprint compatible printer

Looking for a laser or inkjet, preferably laser printer that has airprint compatibility for a family member. When searching for printers, most I have looked at don't specifically say airprint. They do say mobile device printing, does that mean it is airprint compatible? He currently has an...

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

Not sure we are on the same page or I am confused. When I said stock, I am talking about the cpu locking mechanism on the motherboard, which the contact frame replaces. I am on the fence about this, I can see why it could cause a curve or bend in the cpu with the way the stock mechanism locks...

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

I am not sure what to think of this. They say the stock ILM causes the cpu to bend with the way to clamps the cpu due to the cpu being longer. If it does actually bend it, I am sure it is very minor. But even if it is a very minor bend, would the constant heat make it worse over time? I also...

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/produkte/522-cpu-contact-frame-for-12th-gen-intel-by-der8auer It replaces the stock ILM and supposed to help with contact pressure for the cpu cooler. From the stuff I have seen, it does make a good difference. I think its only or 12 gen processors at the moment.

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

Most of reviews seem to be good on the hx1200. Did see a few mention loud coil whine. Not sure if that means all the psu's would have that or just depends on luck if you get one that does that or not. Or maybe some are just more picky on stuff like that and majority of people wouldn't notice...

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

Noticed that the Corsair hx1200 psu is cheaper than the hx1000 so did add that to the build. Newegg has a $30 rebate on it which brings it to $215, even without the rebate still cheaper but not by alot.

Question $2500-3000 gaming build

It shows 670 watts on pcp with the 3090. So I should be fine with the 1000 watt psu. What about heat on the 3090 vs the 3080ti? Guessing it will produce more heat but guessing shouldn't be an issue as long as I have good airflow. On the dual nvme drives, I do like the idea of that. I might...

Acer Aspire 5 heat issues

I was able to get into bios by holding the f2 key. Not sure why that didn't work before, maybe I wasn't holding my mouth right lol. But I did not see any way to turn off turbo for the cpu. Maybe most laptops don't have a way to do that, idk. I have not updated it yet but will.
