    In need of a keyboard

    [/quotemsg] Thanks for your help, can you give examples of trustworthy keyboard manufacturers? [/quotemsg] Well uh... I'm afraid that I'm not too familiar with other brands... I've only bought Razer's Black Widow and Ducky's. Razer uses ABS, and the build quality is alright, I guess. I've...

    In need of a keyboard

    It seems like you might want to go for a little keyboard hunt then? I think it might be good to give you a small list to consider when getting a new mechanical keyboard. For switches, Cherry switches, ALPS... Cherry switches are the most common option and they are decent enough. Cheery switches...

    Hi all, I'm making the extended sleeved cables for my PSU but I've run into a problem. So, I bought the Engineer PA-09 crimper that I believe is quite popular among other. I found that I cannot crimp Molex mini-fit terminal with the size the crimper provides. I can crimp the wing that is...

    Is my Graphics Card Dead? Direct X Hung, Artefacts, Crash, Reboot, Blue Screen...

    Hi Ishaan, First off, I really appreciate your help for this! And as you probably don't know, I suppose anyone who doesn't live in Taiwan wouldn't Delta. They are a good company that makes awesome products and I fully trust their power supplies! The company is more towards being an OEM, they...

    Is my Graphics Card Dead? Direct X Hung, Artefacts, Crash, Reboot, Blue Screen...

    Hello again, I removed my GPU and ran FurMark, previously mentioned games that would crash all with Intel graphics. Nothing strange happened, they all ran fine without any issue.

    Ah, I get it! So it's for each 5v or 12v cables then! A 5V cable can tolerate up to 20A vice versa, and I just need to calculate how much for 5V and 12V then. Now I get it... Thanks for your help! That's really helpful! Haha, I forgot the x16 and 4x speeds on PCIE... Then it's time to say...

    How Many Drives Can a Cable Handle?

    Hello, everyone I wonder how many SATA power connectors I can attach to one cable from my PSU. My PSU is DELTA 550W Platinum. (I don't think this brand is available in some places? Afaik, they do OEM mostly.) It's dual rail 12V and uses 18 AWG wires, here's a photo of the specification. Don't...

    Which SSD and HDD are the Most Reliable Ones?

    I know this has been asked countless time... I checked some reports from Backblaze, but I'm still confused... It seems like something has changed recently? So, I wanna ask that which 240G SSD is the most reliable one? And which HDD also. Many people say that both Intel and Crucial do a good...
