Hello JohnBonhamsGhost, Thank you for the info. That said, I'll likely hold off on buying anything until next year. Rumor has it that LG will be releasing a 42" 4K 240Hz MLA OLED monitor end of this year (or next year). If that's true, that would make a good long term purchase. Thank you...

Hello JohnBonhamsGhost, Thank you for the reply. This confirms what I believed. Also, given that a 55" works for you at ~4 ft, I may end up moving up to the 48" C4 (as it includes BrightBoost technology, which the 42" lacks). Just out of curiosity, would you say that a 55" is too big at less...

Hello, I currently own a Dell G16 7630 with a 4070 mobile GPU. I've spent days researching for the best large monitor (i.e., around 42"). I've narrowed my search down to the Corsair Flex...

I tried both (60 and 240 Hz) on the same system. 60 was slightly more jittery than 240 (but not horrible). Either way, I'm nearly 100% certain that the refresh rate wasn't the major differentiator. I think OBS vs ShadowPlay (as ShadowPlay seems more optimized), plus Nvidia Optimus being...

Hello TerryLaze, So unfortunately nothing worked. That said, I finally got things working by: 1. Disabling Optimus (in BIOS), as this was setting my internal display adapter to the iGPU rather than my 4070. 2. Using ShadowPlay rather than OBS. 3. Ensure ShadowPlay is recording at my native...

Hello, I was interested in purchasing a capture card to record my PC desktop. Though I've heard that purchasing a capture card if all you're doing is recording your desktop is useless, I'm not 100% certain. My problem is this; I'm trying to record the output from a PowerPoint presentation...

Hello, I was looking at purchasing the following heat spreader: https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Heatsink-Thermal-Pads%EF%BC%8CHeat-Copper/dp/B07YC1HTFR/ref=sr_1_3?crid=29MUIB4XRGOCF&keywords=m.2+heatsink+laptop&qid=1671861030&sprefix=m.2+heatsink+laptop%2Caps%2C346&sr=8-3 ...for the WD Black...

Hello USAFRet, Unfortunately the fix doesn't seem to be working well for some users: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/13ooks5/new_samsung_990_pro_firmware_3b2qjxd7 Users in the thread are complaining that the FW update bricked their systems: User 1: "This FW bricked my 990 the...

Hello SonOfJesse, Yeah, given the good reviews on Amazon and price, I just bought the drive (directly from WD for the same price on Amazon). Thank you, Nelson

Hello, I plan on upgrading my OS drive (M.2 PCIE 4.0 256GB) to an M.2 PCIE 4.0 4TB drive. I was initially planning on purchasing a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB drive, but after the firmware fiasco (and how they dealt with customers), I decided to try a different vendor. I've narrowed down my choice...

Hello Bill001G, Just want to make sure the setup below is correct (as the new goCoax MoCA 2.5 Adapter is missing a splitter that the previous version used). That said, can I assume if I get cable TV with all my coax lines (whether internet is passing through or not), that I should be good? If...

Hello Bill001G, A big thank you for the information. So as for MoCA; I do have coax cables in every room of the house (that said, I'm not sure how they are all connected - but the cables do allow me to watch TV). However, I'm not sure if the coax cables are internet "active". In other...

Hello Ralston18, I too agree that wired connections are always better. However, my house is too big, plus there are computers all over the house (at all 4 corners). I can't do a wired setup (or if I did, I'd have cables running throughout the house). As for various mesh setups, it's...

Hello Harisrehman, A big thank you for your help. Regards, Nelson

Hello, I currently use a Linksys EA9500 v1 router (situated at the top-left corner of my house - this cannot be moved without paying my cable company $200.00+): http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Linksys_EA9500_v1.1 ...and a Netgear EAX15 range extender (situated in the middle of my...
