had some trouble loading clean OS from thumb drive for some reason so i tried a disc image and there it was. Easy as pie. Up and running clean and smooth.

I recently got a 500gb NVME SSD 960 EVO M.2 . I guess i didnt do enuff homework. i thought that by using a PCIe adapter i could drop it in my Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3HP PCIe 3.0 slot. well Ive done that and did a fresh install on the drive and my bios just doesnt see it. i boot into windows and the...

"You can't directly put the fan on the GPU, that would increase the temperature SUBSTANTIALLY. You need a metal heatsink." This i understand. the fan options i am talking about ARE heatsink fans like the ones you put on a CPU but scaled down to size for a gpu.

I recently aquired an EVGA gtx 760 reference card. I ran Fromark for 1 hr and everything looked ok accept that the stock fan even at idle was loud n cranky. Is there a way to put a custom fan on? I have seen a couple of gpu fans on newegg that look good but my card has a hideously large aluminum...

it is going in a crawl space under the house. I am mostly worried about possible moisture or rodents chewing at it. I dont think it will be touching the ground, it will probably get tacked to the foundation somehow if i dont use conduit. It wont be me going under the house so im not sure what it...

I need to run ethernet cable underneath my house to relocate my router for optimal performance. What type of cable will i need? Im in Southern California so, low humidity and the coldest it gets around here in the winter is still 40 to 45 farenheit. Should i use Plenum rated (maybe even...

Relocated the router to across the room (about 40ft) and found the magic! Now my cell phone picks up the 5ghz channel about 5 ft away on other side of a wall and often shows me 110 to 115 Mbps down over 12 up!!!!! I downloaded a 4.9 GB file in LESS THAN 60 SECONDS! Yes i did $%#* a brick when i...

Yes. i have found that I am crowded with others and their wifi. When i shut the repeater off i get better thru put on the 2.4 or at least the same. My 5g wont show up on my cell phone even if i am right on top of the router but as soon as i plug in the extender it shows up about 10 ft away. If I...

I had Time Warner with a 10Mb/5Mb plan and a Netgear C3000 (2yrs old) Modem/Router. The wi-fi was weak and spotty in most of the house. I upgraded to a 100/10 Mb plan, bought a TP Link Archer AC750 dual band wireless router and a TP Link dual band Booster/Repeater. The main PC gets 110+ down...

Upgraded to 100/10 plan w/ TWC, got a TP Link Archer AC 750 AND a TP Link WiFi extender and see no improvement in range or throughput on 2.4 and occasional 30 to 40 down on the 5ghz channel. My main PC sees 110 to 115 down and 11-12 up. Soooo what is the problem?

There are some routers out there that have the option of limiting bandwidth as well as what time each day it is available. I know the TP link Archer c2 has this option in the guest setting 2.4 channel. Im a bit new with routing but am pretty sure of this situation. Good luck.
