Hello again TomsHardware. -------------------------------- TLDR --------------------------------- I lost my backups of some Windows files. I tried opening the folders containing the backups and got the "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." error. I tried...

Haven't managed to fix this, so I'm backing everything up and will re-install once it's done. Thanks for the help :)

Find the price of the 4690k and your SSD new from somewhere, and put that into the build, making sure that all parts have a price. Then, the general rule of thumb would be about 66-75% of the new price. This can vary due to usage, receipts, warranty, etc

Yes, you will be able to. I'd recommend getting a good third-party CPU cooler and some good thermal paste if you want to overclock more. I'd recommend a Hyper 212 Evo, any Noctua air cooler, or a Cryorig H7. I cant recall off the top of my head if these are compatible with AM4, or the Ryzen...

So I was trying to install cwiid (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=841691) to allow me to use my Wii remote on Fedora 26. Looking through the dependencies (info on the first x86_64 link) I saw libbluetooth.so.3()(64bit). So I found that...

I'd recommend picking any tier 1 or tier 2 PSU at around 650 watts from here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html or here http://i.imgur.com/tgrbCnr.jpg. Your power supply is like the heart of your PC. It provides power (blood) to your system. This is the one...

So I've managed to find the time to bring my PC setup across my whole house to connect it via Ethernet and have downloaded the WiFi drivers, but it'd still be really good to know how to do this just for the future.

Hello TomsHardware! I've recently installed Fedora 26 Workstation onto my main PC (after a long struggle!) and I need a way to access the internet on it, as my WiFi drivers aren't preinstalled, and I need internet to get the WiFi drivers. I have done this before in Fedora, in a previous...

Thanks Alabalcho, I set up a HomeGroup, then when I right-clicked the Shadowplay folder, Share To > Homegroup (View + Edit) appeared, which seems like it solves my issue. Thanks heaps!

Hello again TomsHardware! I've recently had an idea; I have a spare laptop lying around that I use as a second screen (Spacedesk), but that's not really using all of it's spare horse power (i7-4700MQ + GT 745M) so I thought of using it as a video encoding server as I like to encode all the...

I would definitely recommend the Seasonic over the Thermal Master (Thermal Master is pretty bad). You can install games on your external drive absolutely fine. If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows (most newer operating systems are 64 bit by default iirc), then the 4GB issue will not be...

That should be fine if your graphics card is shorter or the same size as your 770. Try to measure it in mm, then check the website for the Asus Strix 1080 and look for the length on there. 700 watt should be fine, even with a not-so-great power supply. You should be all fine then from what I can...

Try making a bootable Windows 10 installation DVD / CD. Reformat your hard drive (if there's nothing valuable on it), then install. If that doesn't help, I have no idea.
