    Discussion Recommendations for a good quality RGB mechanical keyboard with tactile switches?

    So, I'm looking to switch out my current mechanical keyboard for an RGB one. No GOOD reason, old one works fine. Just, you know, cool factor. So what I am looking for is a good quality mechanical RGB keyboard that... 1. Has tactile (not clicky) switches as an option OR clicky keys that aren't...

    You would think I could easily find this information via a simple google search, but I guess my google fu just sucks. What are the normal idle and operating temps for an AMD Ryzen threadripper 2920x? Many thanks.

    Question How to completely reset the Microsoft Seach/Indexing

    I understand that I messed up my clone operation. Moving back to my original question, is there no known way to make windows dump it's old search results/indexing and start over (short of a reinstall, obviously)? I tried using the rebuild option in Indexing, but that didn't work. I found some...

    Question How to completely reset the Microsoft Seach/Indexing

    I did not disconnect the drive. I just changed the system boot order so that it would boot from the new disk. Apparently that is where I messed up. Below is the requested screenshot. Disk 0 is the old HD. Disk one is the current. Disk 2 is an external I have hooked up. View...

    Question How to completely reset the Microsoft Seach/Indexing

    It's strange. The old C drive is now the D drive. Everything else is fine, but the search results point to the files on the D drive now (even though I wiped the drive). My google searches turned up some stuff to try, but they are for windows 7. I don't want to mess with the registry based on...

    Question How to completely reset the Microsoft Seach/Indexing

    I recently cloned my OS drive onto a larger one as an upgrade, then changed that to be my boot disk. I have everything running fine EXCEPT when I search for documents via the start menu search, it keeps bringing up my old drive (which I WAS keeping for a backup). I tried rebuilding the index...

    Question Recommend a new 27 inch gaming monitor for me?

    This SHOULD be the last time I bother you, and I thank you for your time. Primary and TV are connected via Display Port. Secondary is connected via HDMI cable (it doesn't have a DP connecter) if that matters. I'm surprised the first monitor costs so much more than the second, if the second...

    Question Recommend a new 27 inch gaming monitor for me?

    Hopefully this will be the final thing I bother you with. Is there ANY difference between these two monitors aside from one having one display port and the other having two? I've looked them over and don't *see* any. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824160516...

    Question Recommend a new 27 inch gaming monitor for me?

    Primary and TV are connected via Display Port. Secondary is connected via HDMI cable (it doesn't have a DP connecter) if that matters. I'm surprised the first monitor costs so much more than the second, if the second actually has a better picture. Are the response time differences even...

    Question Recommend a new 27 inch gaming monitor for me?

    Thank you for your suggestions. So, if I am understanding correctly, basically the Acer has slightly better response times, but the AOC has a better picture? Also, I just want to confirm, having my primary monitor at a different resolution than my secondary and TV won't cause any issues when...

    Question Recommend a new 27 inch gaming monitor for me?

    Hello. I was hoping you experienced folks could recommend a few monitor replacement options for me, as my primary display is starting to go bad (black lines showing up, confirmed they don't appear in a screenshot). -I am looking for a 27 inch monitor that I can mount to the monitor "arm" that...

    Question Black lines appeared across lower portion of monitor. Now gone.

    So, this morning when I turned on my monitor, I noticed black lines had appeared across the bottom of my monitor. They persisted after a computer restart, BUT went away when I changed my display settings for my monitors from Duplicate to Extend. My computer is hooked to two monitors and a TV...
