    News Open-Source, RISC-V Laptop Will Be Easy to Make and Upgrade

    I like the idea of an open source laptop, yes it's ugly , not sure why they wouldn't at least demo some normal looking colors, it's just a concept after all. Speaking of which, I can see this was made with good intentions but since it's meant to made by other companies I can see other companies...

    News This Dock Turns Your iPhone or Android Smartphone Into A Laptop

    I own a Nexdock and that was a poor description. It can be used for far more than just Samsung Dex and a quick google search would would tell you that. You can connect any HDMI device as long as you have a compatible HDMI cable, you can connect a Switch with one usb c cable and any phone that...

    News Raspbian Buster Gets New Features in Big Up

    It's still 32bit? Aren't Ubuntu and another distro already 64 bit on the Pi? Wouldn't it make sense for the pi to support 64bit for the 4GB version?

    Review Zotac Mek Mini Review: Big Things in Small Packages

    Why not get a Zotac Magnus mini PC instead? it costs a bit more more at $1500 but it's significantly smaller, I don't think it uses 2 external bricks , I could be wrong though.

    Control: How it Plays on Different GPUs

    I'd say Batman Arkham Knight was the only one that really suffered on the PC port, it took them a bit to fix it too, but I bought a new GPU to play Arkham Knight (GTX 980 at the time) I don't regret it because I really enjoyed that game but I felt the others you mentioned didn't have that much...

    Control: How it Plays on Different GPUs

    Wheres the rest of the article where they benchmark RTX GPUs with Ray tracing on? Also yea it seems pretty demanding but on DX 11 without all the fancy ray tracing my GTX 1080 has no trouble at 1080p medium smooth as butter 60fps, even on high settings I get 'mostly' 60fps and sometimes I get...

    Question Can I cut cables on non-modular power supply?

    I bought a really good 850watt power supply a while ago to prepare for an dual GPU SLI setup which never happened and I don't plan on doing SLI anymore either. It's not modular and the many cables are taking up too much space in my cases power supply shroud, so can I can cut some of the cables...

    Can i use a m.2 ssd without an hdd even though it has both slots?

    anytime. Also I second the clean install, you can use the free Microsoft download, Media Creation tool to create a bootable usb. You won't have to worry about the cd-key or anything like that. It will just work. Also if you can see a drive on device manager but not the normal windows file...

    Getting frame skips while game is showing normal FPS.

    My guess is an automatic update or setting is causing the issue. That's why when the older driver is installed it clears the setting and goes back to a default but something updates it afterwards and is causing havoc. I don't have an idea for a fix but you test the theory by trying an offline...

    [SOLVED] I have an insanely good pc but not getting fps that my friends are getting even though they have worse systems

    Your Kingston hard drive is part of the problem unless you know for sure you are using it just for media storage. If you have Windows installed on it or Fortnite, or even the Epic Games Launcher, that could be a bottleneck. Also am I reading right, You have a 60-79hz display but want much...

    Can i use a m.2 ssd without an hdd even though it has both slots?

    Yes and Yes. M.2 memory will show up as a regular hard drive. In rare cases you may need to use a driver in which you can follow the on screen instructions. in order to copy from a regular hard drive to the m.2 (or any hard drive to hard drive) you can use software like Macrium which I think is...

    Case Phanteks P400 Help needed with temps

    I have this case and love how it looks but it's kinda not the best for high end stuff that puts out a lot of heat or Overclocking. I have a AIO water cooler 280mm in the front and 2 140mm up top along with a GTX 1080 and for newer games that push the card the system can get pretty hot after an...

    Phanteks p400S: Wacky RGB logo & strip

    Actually I forgot to mention there's more to it. You actually have to plug your case lights back into original controller on case and then use the manual color change button to reset the lights before you plug it in to your motherboard or the adapter I linked in my previous post. Check the...

    Phanteks p400S: Wacky RGB logo & strip

    Hi my Phanteks case wouldn't sync with my motherboard until I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Adapter-Specified-Control-PH-CB_RGB4P/dp/B01BZIBJAK I'm using an Aurasync motherboard and build though but I still think it might be necessary in your case.

    MSI 1070 ti wont fit phanteks p400s

    I have a fairly big Asus Republic of Gamers Nvidia 1080 installed in my Phanteks P400 case which I believe is bigger than your 1070 so I don't see why size should be a problem.
