Hello, Windows 7 download page at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-7 doesn't contain any download link any longer. Is there any way of downloading the official version from Microsoft. I have a product key, but no installation media. I don't want to download from any...

Ok, I found myself that the fans stand still until 55 C when the silent bios is selected. No further info though. https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1660S-O6G-GAMING/

Since the problem appears primarily in temperature areas where the fans start/stop, what if you would try to prevent the GPU staying in that temperature range by adjusting the cooling of the case? So to avoid temp range 29-31 C with silent bios and 54-56 with performance bios. In practice this...

Hello, does anyone know how the fans behave in this card and separately when using the performance or silent bios? Temperature at which the fans start rotating RPM at the starting temperature Max RPM Any info is welcome.

I got now a bit confused about the minimum. You wrote earlier that minimum would be set to 70% at 60C. I assumed that it would imply then that the fan is idle below 60C. Are there several minimums? Sorry for asking such basic stuff, I haven't adjusted the fan curves earlier but soon will be...

Sorry about a very basic question: does that curve mean that under 60C the fan is completely stopped? What happens if I'd add one more step to start the fan at 40C with 50%? Would it keep the temps easier below 60 and hence more silent?

Ok thanks, that's what I assumed is the best thing to do. Just would want to know explicitly whether even current RGB controllers on mobos are still worse than USB.

The cooler has two connections, one for USB and the other for RGB. No manual to be found for the cooler (not cool, AMD!). I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to connect the leds: USB, RGB or both, and what are the consequences. Some say that only one should be connected, as one...

Sorry for going back to basics, but have you connected the antenna to your wifi adapter correctly? They often come with one...

Got it now, thank you very much!

Thanks, this is good to hear. If there's really no difference, then probably I've mixed it up with assigning ports. May I still ask what you mean with "keeping the DHCP pool open"?

Hello, I'm trying to avoid mistakes in configuring a home network. The router has a setting for "Starting IP address" under DHCP settings. I remember having read from some forum (where someone was giving advice to a newbie like me) that one should not use numbers from the lower end fo the range...

Thank you again. I'm starting to lean towards NAS. If I would after all want to make the NAS available through the internet, it seems to be that port forwarding is needed. At least that is explained in Synology's site. Or then use something that Synology calls QuickConnect. Are these always the...

OK, now I got it. Thanks a lot! I'll have to now see which of the two options to go to, both seem to be equally safe. Sorry to bother you, but may I still ask what you mean by "putting a default gateway on the nas"? Is that some setting that is used when the nas is opened towards the internet or...
