Switched the entire network over last night (since my last update). All seems to be well. I can get speeds of up to 16mbps where I was only getting 2-3 before. I can now stream HD movies and I get good coverage over the whole house. I'd call this project a huge success even if it was quite...

Figured I'd update on this. I've run the CAT6 cable for the full distance between where I will have my two routers. This was no easy task and required some pretty creative solutions for running the wire from the attic all the way to the basement and across a hallway, I got it done though. Now I...

K, so I want to avoid repeater mode, got it. After obtaining the blueprints for my home and examining them carefully I believe it's actually possible (though quite troublesome) to run ethernet from the first router to the second one. (it involves running a cable through the attic and getting it...

Hello everyone. Very soon I am planning to upgrade my home network by adding a media bridge. I've never done this before so I have a few questions. Here's how I'm hoping I can set up the new network. Bear in mind that I have in my possession two ASUS RT-AC66R routers. (I bought another one the...

I installed the replacement power supply this morning and fired up the machine. Everything ran fine for about 30 minutes before I started to hear the squealing again. I got into the AMD catalyst control center and monitored the video card activity from there. Activity is still spiking up to 50%...

I just purchased an 800w 80 Plus Certified Gold PSU (from Cooler Master, the other one that interested me was the XFX 850w silver). Should be here by the weekend hopefully. For now I guess I'll be using the laptop, I'm too scared of frying something to turn the tower on.

I have a Corsair GS 800 (2011 model) power supply. This is connected to an ASUS Matrix 7970 GHz graphics card. I'm suspecting a major problem between these two components. This morning the power supply started to squeal. It starts up about once every 30 seconds and goes for about 5 seconds...

Hey everyone, I'll just get right into it. I have a Cooler Master HAF X case and I'm looking to build a high end liquid cooled system in it, but I've never done one of these before and thus I do not know exactly what I'm looking for. I don't think that I'm going to liquid cool the chipset, RAM...

Thanks for the help! The BIOS wouldn't update using the program in Windows. What I did instead was load the files onto a bootable USB flash drive (formatted in FAT32 for those of you that read this later) and update the BIOS from there. I extracted all of the downloaded BIOS files onto the...
