  1. Question What are the pros and cons of installing a 3.5" multi-card reader on a PC rather than getting a usb one?

    Assuming that you have A) The necessary mounting spot inside your case to hold the reader, AND B) The necessary connector on your motherboard to connect it to, AND C) You don't need to take the reader with you anywhere.. Then, internal cards are ALMOST always perform better, than anything...

    Well, I've built 100+ rigs for clients using several of the Sammy 980's, & WD 850's & 750's...neveranottaproblemo....so I can't say that I really agree with this generalization, but I also know everyone's machines are a little different here & there, so the possibility of a variety of issues can...

  4. Discussion Goodbye $$ air blaster/duster products!

    That's a bit overkill for cleaning a pc, but will work nonetheless, but you have to remember the old sayings: "With great power comes great responsibility" "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" "If you have to ask for that much power, then you don't really need it"

  5. Question Do you have a separate "work" computer at home?

    Neva, eva, eva use your personal machine at home for work purposes......NO IF'S, ANDS, OR BUTTS.... there are sooooo many concrete reasons why that it would take me hours just to type up the list...... Look at it this way: If your company provides the hardware for you to work in the office, it...

  7. ST: The Strange New (gay) Worlds

    1st let me say that I am a lifelong ST fan, and have nothing against alternative lifestyles (as long as those involved don't try to throw it in my face or try to make themselves out to be moar "special" than everyone else), but I'm just wondering why all the newest Star Trek series seem bent on...

  10. Question Looking to upgrade my Desktop and Laptop and Need Help Finding Compatible NVME drives

    You will need to research the different terminologies of M.2/nvme drives to make a sound decision on what to buy, because not all of them are created equal....google is your friend :) However, 2280 is merely one of the phycical sizes of the sticks and the space allotted to their slots, which...

  11. My Western Digital Black runs very hot - is this normal?

    The older ones do run hot, but I recently purchased 2x current-gen 2TB Black spinners and they never felt warm to the touch when I had them laying on my desk while I formatted them and copied over about 1.1 TB of files to each of them with a USB adapter (as a test before installing them into my...

  12. manufacturer refurbished ssd's yes?, no?

    Factory Refurbs direct from mfgr's websites (not fleabay/'Zon marketplace), are usually ok and a good way to save a few $$, provided they carry the same warranty as new units. I have done this many times over the years for all sorts of stuff & have never had any problems whatsoever with...

  13. Question Is it now time for SSDs to replace HDDs?

    When each of my 8 or so 2005-era spinners (10k Raptors) have died over the years, I have been steadily replacing them with SSD's, first with SATA 2/3 units and now with M2 nvme drives.... a process which I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to each time.. Since the prices are dropping like...

  15. Question Full Tower with a slot for Optical drive

    THermaltake TT900 Supertower has a 5.25" bay in the front. Granted it is huge, but is a dream to work in with tons of space for everything, wires, drives, cooling (air, AIO CLC, and/or water) and just about anything else you might wanna throw into it :) Last time I looked they were running...

  16. Question Looking for way to answer calls from PC

    What do you mean by "handset" ? If you're talking about a phone that looks like a normal office phone, but works to answer online calls, you will need to get one that has an ethernet port on it, otherwise known as a VoIP phone......as in Voice over Internet Protocol. These phones use an...

  17. Question Why does anyone ever use inkjet printers?

    That "L" word should be forever banished from the earth..... On my scale of 1 to 10, their stuff rates around NEGATIVE 2169 :)

  18. Question 3rd party carts?

    If you insist on using 3rd party carts, don't get them from da 'Zon.... get 'em off ebay, that way you will know for sure that you are wasting your money on uber-el-cheapo bottom-barrel P.O.S. crap piles that may or may not work at all, or contain only a few micro-drops of ink :) My brother...

  19. Question Using a 13 Year old UPS

    Nope notta no-way Jose'.... not on any of MY 'puter stuff :) Even for someone like me that tends to keep some stuff longer than necessary, I would NEVA, EVA, EVA trust a 13yo UPS period !

  20. Question How is the RMA procedure of Gigabyte and reliability of its motherboards?

    For a $500 board that had problems from day 1, I would DEMAND an immediate replacement, shipped overnight with a prepaid return box and a coupon for $100 off my next purchase at the retailer where I got it from, just for the hassle & inconvenience :D Yes, I am a hardass when it comes to stuff...

  21. Discussion 8GB vs 16GB vs 32GB in 2018

    IMHO, you will regret this decision on that GPU.....been there, done that with my son's gaming rig..... the 3gb card was constantly lagging, stuttering, skipping frames etc..... switched to a 6GB card and boom, no moar problemos :) He runs a Z170 mobo, skylake cpu @4.7GHZ/ with 16GB of 3200...

  22. Samsung 840 EVO worth it still?

    840 @$30 = a bad deal, especially when you can get the 860 (much faster) for around the same $$ with BF coming soon... Shop & buy :D

  23. Any new good ssd price drops coming?

    YES, on black friday/cyber Monday OTOH, the market opinions are that ssd's and other flash types will continue dropping even more than now in price well into 2019, so if you can wait until then, do it. Otherwise pull the trigger on BF/CM...

  24. PCI-E or SATA III SSD?

    Airflow/AC is the answer..... Both for the room and inside your case......increase both and you will not see any issues with throttling on the nvme drive....plus you will be more comfortable while using the computer too :D

  25. Thermal paste shelf life?

    So I guess I should replace that tube of stuff that came with my Apple Lisa, huh??? hahahaha... But seriously, I have used paste that was about 2 years old without any problems whatsoever on several recent client builds....

  26. Phantecks ENTHOO Elite case ($900!!!)

    Overall a nice case pe se...but for $900, they should include ALL the drive brackets & fans to max this thing out from day 1. You should not have to spend mo' money and wait for delivery of the extra parts....

  27. AIO questions

    Been there, done that many times... Im kinda partial to the Corsair H series, which require about the same level of expertise to install as a tower cooler does, assuming you have enough room in your case and a good, unobstructed air flow path. I currently have an H80 & a H110i GT in use and...

  28. What kind of cable is this please?

    thats a 20-pin USB 3 motherboard connector, used to supply signal to your front panel USB connectors :)

  29. NVMe OS and Data Drive

    ^^^^ what he said ^^^ spinners for storage/low access evo for OS/Data :)

  30. Corsair Air 540 or Zalman Z9 U3?

    For air flow and build possibilities, you really can't beat the 540. Check my rig in my sig for an example, which is strictly air-based, but with the gobs of room inside, could easily have been water, either AIO or custom built.... And with the right number of fans, set to run at moderate...

  31. Corsair 540 owners using stock fan config, do you have dust issues?

    I have 6x 140mm fans in my 540... 2 front + 1 rear + 1 bottom intakes, 2 top exhaust, plus a 120 on my cpu cooler pointing north at the top exhaust.... I only have to clean inside the machine about once every 2-3 months, so I am not getting much build up. HOWEVER, I keep it on my desk instead...

  32. Case Options for first time builder

    on the original question, a case for a rookie, my advice is: Go Big, or go home :) Whatever you do, get a case that has removable HDD/SSD cages....they put way too many of them in todays cases IMHO, (unless you want to build a server/SAN/NAS box) and all they really do is get in the way, by...

  33. Upgrade old board or go New?

    Da Skylake is calling your name... Just do it, you know you wanna. And so do we :D so leave that antique hdwr where it belongs...in the 90's, and be happy !

  34. Which motherboard for my new Skylake CPU? I've narrowed it down to 2 boards.

    look in my sig for what you want :) Been running rock solid since Feb '16 neveranottaproblemo !

  35. I never expected this many BIOS updates. 11 so far.

    all this means is that ASSUS rushed the board out to market before it was actually ready for primetime... I would venture to say that most of the updates were bug fixes and feature enablers, for stuff that should have been there from day 1. But as usual, greed took a higher priority than...

  36. Z170 Recommendation

    check the rig in my sig for what u want :)

  37. ASUS Z87-PRO upgrade now to Z97 or not?

    save your $$ for a Z170 rig :) I found out the hard way last year that Z87 & 97 boards are essentially the same except for the differences listed already, and those dont really amount to much of a difference performance-wise...

  38. Gigabyte H170 Gamer 3 and NVMe issues

    This is true, at least for now on most current boards, including the one in my sig. You have to check your manual to see which ports are disabled... they are generally numbered 0-5 or 7 depending on how many you have. Since my board has 2x m2 slots, and I use them both, I lose 4 of my 8 sata...

  39. Z170 vs Z170A vs Z170X vs Z170E vs Z170M

    Why should anyone limit themselves to only the Asus website....unless they have already decided on that brand... There are plenty of mfgr's out there that make all of the different types of boards, me thinks the OP just need to refine his/her search methods a bit..... Here is something to...

  40. Need Help Picking new LGA1151 motherboard

    look at the rig in my sig for what you want :) Granted it is the upper-mid tier, but has all the features you want and a few more too. Of course if you wanna save a few $$ you could go with the 5 or 3 series of the same board I have, and get most but not all of the features......
