    Question How to backup a whole drive to re-install OS?

    Hi, I've been struggling with my PC lately, it absolutely refuses to update since new years and every time I start it, it goes into about 5 minutes of trying to update to restarting to apply the update and then always saying "update failed, restarting PC" and it finally booting. I figure the...

    Question Bluetooth 5.2 latency?

    DON'T DO IT. I got the 5.2 earbuds and the 5.2 BT card and there is a very noticeable latency. Even for watching a youtube video, it's bad. I play Tarkov a lot and the sounds lag alot

    Question Bluetooth 5.2 latency?

    Howdy! Just got these (https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-buds-pro) Wireless earbuds for Christmas and wanted to also use them when I'm PC gaming. My two questions would be, what type of Bluetooth adapter do I need to get for my PC? (Example...

    [SOLVED] 10700k vs 10600k

    Hi, I currently have a Xeon e3-1231v3 since the beginning of time and want to upgrade my cpu. I am between the i7-10700k and the i5-10600k and am struggling between the two.

    Question Should I upgrade?

    Ok thanks. I may just wait till next year when they announce their new cpu's and it will hopefully bring out some better hardware and bring the down the price for the 8700k/9700k.

    Question Should I upgrade?

    Thanks for the recommendations guys, but I am choosing the 8700k for Overclocking compared to the 9700k which doesn't look that great in comparison, namely on the GamerNexus video about the 9700k. What I really wanted to know is if I would get a pretty big fps difference from switching from my...

    Question Should I upgrade?

    Yes I have 3 monitors (other 2 not 1440p, but 1080p) and I usually have alot of tabs open and I do stream sometimes. I do max out my current CPU quite a bit and that's another reason I want to upgrade. But yes I truly do want to go with intel, I'm not sure though if there will be a new...

    Question Should I upgrade?

    MAX probably 600-700, not including a new gpu, as I just want to focus on everything else for now.

    Question Best mobo for OC'ing 8700k?

    I have read that the Z390s are probably the best chipset to go with for OCing an 8700k, as I want to try and keep it at 5ghz or right under. I am having trouble narrowing it down, because I already use 6 USB ports off the motherboard and 1 port in the front of my case, and MANY of these new...

    Bent HDD pins along with black screen and white underscore.

    Alrighty, but just to clarify, the only bent pins are for the power part not Sata. When I get the power part plugged in and working, the bios recognizes the drive but just brings the black screen with the underscore going.

    Bent HDD pins along with black screen and white underscore.

    So I should just pull out all other sata devices and see if it will work solo? I am also just considering getting a new HDD with Windows since a few files I need are in onedrive. That would run me about $75 and then I asked a few different local repair guys and they all were in range from...

    Bent HDD pins along with black screen and white underscore.

    So yesterday I got home and tried to boot my computer after being away for two days and I got my bios screen to load normally, then it went straight to a black screen with only a blinking white underscore at the top left. I first tried re-seating my ram and when that didn't work I re seated the...
