Yup, you are absolutely right, weird how that wasn't caught when I was trying out the cat 6 cables, but the cable that came with the router was crap, switched it out and now my connection is much faster!

Hello, for a while now I have been using a direct connection from a MoCa adapter to my PC for internet access and it's been working really well (About 400/400). Recently, I got a Nighthawk XR1000 router for wireless connections to my Raspberry Pi's, so I plugged that into the MoCa adapter, and...

3080ti is not a whole lot faster (~15%), though it does vary based on what model you get. The 6800XT on the other hand, is ~30% SLOWER compared to a 3080. Yes, that is true, high refresh rate does tend to be more of a FPS fan's wet dream. If you are playing moba and mmo, then it will still make...

Sounds like a bad fan bearing, not much would make a noise like that in a PC. Try what Ralston suggested.

Userbenchmark is a very useful site for comparing speeds, temps, and performance of different GPUs, CPUs, and more! I personally would go all out with the 3080ti option, just because there is only a 100$ difference, but it is true the 12900k is marginally faster, though unless you plan on...

Yea, as it turns out having steam on the SSD does make installs MUCH faster, Im actually able to download a large game in under 3 hours...

Steam WAS installed on my internal SSD, but games are on a separate external SSD I actually just reinstalled Steam to the external SSD, could that be my issue?

Oops! Thank you for clearing that up!

Open up a hardware monitor and see if you cap out the ram when this occurs. Could also be a failing / full drive, how long have you had your drive for? How much free space do you have?

Yes, that is Pos. 4 Have you tried the other positions as well? If you have tried pos. 1, 2, or 3 and did not get a signal, that would indicate to me that the mobo is faulty. I would do the same test as well with the other sick of ram you have and see if it posts again. If it does, it is most...

Microsoft account is not required to transfer a retail license, at least not the last time that I looked. OEM license keys cannot be transferred, as it is not possible from what I know to tie it to a MS account. A key is tied to the hardware in the PC (usually a HWID) and to transfer a key, you...

Hey Chris, its Chris. That GPU will not be able to handle games like that. If you want those games to run at 60fps on Med settings, I'd suggest at least a 1660ti or above (2060s maybe?). You can also use websites such as userbenchmark to compare GPUs based on performance and see how they stack...

Key-stutter is often caused by the switch sticking down, or a broken switch where the metal component at the bottom of the switch is broken and makes contact multiple times. What type of keyboard is it? Does the stutter happen with every key, or just a few specific ones? - if so, you could try...

System won't post with no ram installed, if you have a GPU, connect the HDMI straight to that. Sam was referring to unplug one stick of ram at a time and confirm the system posts, not both at the same time. You also have to make sure that your ram is in positions 1 and 3 (the black slots) and...

Hello, So my Steam downloads are taking forever and keep jumping the speed around like crazy. So far, I have cleared my Steam DL cache, changed DL servers, uncapped DL bandwidth, tested my external SSD for read/write speeds, set the priority of Steam in task manager, and have even gone as far as...
