    Question HELP - NOOB Spooked About AMD AM5 Chipset Update

    I like a very clean PC with no residue, etc... Pretty much OCD about this and use DDU whenever I do a video driver update, etc... So was watching a few videos about the importance of keeping AMD chipset drivers up to date. The actual process to install new drivers looks like "install and...

    Question Managing gmails dumping into Outlook

    You are correct. It's IMAP. So, if I understand you right anything I do on GMail will affect Outlook and vice-versa? I can see managing the emails from Outlook (there are many I could delete) and letting gmail "sync". I'm spooked about creating new PSTs. Last time I did that about 5 years...

    Question Managing gmails dumping into Outlook

    Per subject, I'm near my free gmail space limit on emails and need to delete a bunch of old stuff. I just want to make sure that my Outlook keeps ALL emails that have been dumped automatically to Outlook. So, if I go online and delete a bunch of old gmails, will that have any effect on those...

    Question Calibration Point: What % Faster Do You Think the 9800x3D will be over the 7800x3D

    I have a 7800X3D and love the chip. I'm guessing there are a ton of people like myself that bought it for the upgrade path to the 9000 series. Please weigh in on the subject question from your POV. My guesstimate is 30% Am I being wildly optimistic? What is your estimate?

    1080 Ti owner needs advice on FSR or LLFG

    Thanks for the response. Was hoping someone knew of some success stories one way or another. Asked AI and did standard searches and the answers have been very gray and not terribly helpful in plotting a path ahead that doesn't include just trying them both. I typically research, gather data...

    1080 Ti owner needs advice on FSR or LLFG

    Per title... 90 percent of what I'll be doing is flight simulation via FS2020, DCS, and IL-2 series. What is the better option to extending the life of this card with better frame rates and could at least 50 percent higher FPS be a reasonable expectation at 1080 or 1440? Thoughts? Sent from...

    Question Are Wi-Fi Photo Frames a Security Risk?

    Chinese company (YunQiDeer) makes a photo frame I bought for my mom... It's wi-fi and we can down load an app to our phones and send her photos. I really don't care if someone could see/download the photos via some sort of hack, but I do wonder if the frame creates a perfect doorway for...

    Can a 7800x3d be Tuned for best performance?

    Thanks for the response. I was tracking all the excitement with frying the x3d versions of the AMD CPUs and the debacle with ASUS (I'm using their B650E-E Mobo). So, YES, I want to be extremely careful. After doing a ton more research I'm making the following conclusions/questions so please...

    Can a 7800x3d be Tuned for best performance?

    Going for ultimate performance... I know that process lasso can squeeze additional performance from a 7950x3d but does nothing for a 7800x3d. Are there any CPU related tweaks to ensure a 7800x3d is crunching as fast as possible? Primary use is for flight simulation. Thanks in advance for any...

    Question Please help me diagnose this network switch problem

    Question Did I just screw up?

    Thanks for the thorough reply. I ended up having to disable the iGPU in Device Manager to allow the Kraken 73 cooler to read the 4090 temperature (it was reading zero). Next is benchmarking.

    Question Did I just screw up?

    Yeah, that's what my gut says but I wanted to be sure my thinking was right... Win 10 seemed to do fine without the driver so my choice is to keep it or revert back to an install point before the VGA driver. I'd assume to the PC, it see the driver as a totally different piece of hardware...

    Question Did I just screw up?

    New build with a 4090 and a 7800x3d (chip has onboard video). I'm always very careful after I build a rig to try for the cleanest install of all the base drivers such as chipset, audio, LAN, WIFI, etc... There was one on the ASUS site for my MoBo (650E-E) that was called "VGA video" which I...

    Question A few questions before I hit the power button

    Question Need some guidance on NOT hooking up various PS cables to the MoBo

    Per subject... Building a new 7800x3d and 4090 system. I've got 1 4TB drive and will probably never have a SATA, etc... on this PC. Is it standard practice to ONLY use the power cables one needs for the cleanest installation AND to give the power to the ports where "it counts", or is it best...

    Is an update to Win 11 the same as Win 11 Fresh Install

    Always wondered about the subject question... In theory, when Windows does an update to a new OS, is there a bunch of old residue left over from the previous OS? Or... Does it wipe the previous OS clean?

    Basic Question about Win 10 (or 11) install via USB

    Building a new system. Can anything else be on the USB other than the OS? Can I make the OS first and then install things like my MoBo, GPU drivers etc on the same USB drive (in a folder called "Drivers", etc) or must the OS installation USB ONLY contain the folders and files for the OS...

    Question ASUS MOBO Fresh build procedure question to avoid Armory Crate install?

    It turns out I have the E-E mobo. Very similar but some differences. Looks like good advice from Igor on the OC jumper. It's been about 8 years since my last build so kinda splurging... Have a Reverb G2 and hope to pick up a Varjo Aero on sale on next gen and/or a 42" C2 for pancake. CPU...

    Question Need drive config advice on new build

    Thanks for ideas. I'll be installing FS2020, IL-2, DCS, and XP12. All those with extra planes, etc... takes up about 1.8TB and I didn't want to have to "sweat it"... It sounds like Primo Cache creates a "slow, bulk RAM" sort of situation? One can imagine the value there...

    Anyone familiar with HOA Case Law Regarding HOAs controlling public streets?

    Thanks to all who have replied so far! It sounds like there may be (at least) one lawyer posting. I got some good laughs at some of the solutions. Really entertaining. I'm swamped right now but hope to get back in the next few days and respond to some of the queries and give a few specifics.

    Anyone familiar with HOA Case Law Regarding HOAs controlling public streets?

    I've seen a few anti-HOA posts over the years and figured this is a good place to start... FWIW, I don't mind the idea of an HOA that applies common sense and have no issue with rules that keep the neighborhood to a certain standard to protect the investment. I get the concept. That said, and...

    Question Please Help me understand performance of these RAM choices

    Thanks for the NewEgg links. That GSkill RAM is of interest. From the post above with the calculator, the 64GB set appears to be 3% slower but in practical use in a loaded situation where 64GB are called for, the additional speed from the throughput would be noticeable? I noticed the GSkill...

    Question Please Help me understand performance of these RAM choices

    The first is 32GB total, and the 2nd is 64GB total. The flight sim and CAD applications the machine is being built for will probably use more than 32 GB 10% of the time. Aside from the larger amount giving an assumed better performance overall, which RAM would be expected to perform faster and...

    Question Very basic Question about 32 vs 64 GB RAM

    Meat People - Is this Brisket Safe to Eat?

    I think it will be eaten. It is an 11 lb brisket (~$46). I've seen/smelled bad meat before and this had none of that. No slimy feel, no weird smell. I'm guessing the vacuum seal had a lot to do with it. I took the meat out of the fridge, prepped it with the dry rub and put it back in the...

    Meat People - Is this Brisket Safe to Eat?

    Costco Prime Brisket. Removed from freezer 5pm Mon night and put in a sink to thaw (in sealed package). Room temp was about 69 average. Forgot about it until this morning (Wed, 36-40 hrs) and brisket is cool, but not refrigerator cool (guessing 50-60). It's now in the fridge keeping cool...

    Question Anyone have any favorite, reliable thumb drives for loading the OS when building a rig?

    Question Anyone have any favorite, reliable thumb drives for loading the OS when building a rig?
