S/PDIF or SPDIF is NOT only optical. And electrical form of SPDIF also exists, usually carried by an RCA socket marked "Digital" or "SPDIF COAX"

Those are Dupont header connectors. You're looking for the pins... https://www.amazon.com/SUNKEE-100PCS-Dupont-Jumper-Connector/dp/B00Q6ZEE9Q There are two common types, a 2.0 mm pitch and a 2.54 mm pitch Here's a guide to working with these...

At some point I'll test the video card in another machine, a Windows 10 machine, see if there's any issues with the thing.

I pulled the GTX 750ti out of the machine and am using the integrated Intel HD3000 graphics. Games display as they should now, up to resolutions that are reasonable for XP games. (And one game I play - Thandor - was originally a Window 95 game!) I play RTS games and the integrated graphics...

that makes sense. I tried to select the most capable card which had XP64 drivers, but this strategy did not work out... Thanks

I had a bunch of older games I want to play, and getting them to work on Windows 10 was proving impossible, so I bought a copy of XP-pro 64-bit and built a machine to run XP and run my games. Machine is an i7 2700k with 8 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GTX-750ti XP runs great but the games don't work...

I have built the box -i3-8350 CPU at stock speed -8 GB G Skill DDR4-2666 (2 x 4 GB) -Samsung 256 GB 950 PRO m.2 SSD -Garden variety slim DVD RW drive -ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac mini-ITX motherboard (using on board video) -CRYORIG C7 cooler -Windows 10 pro 64 It runs beautifully on the 150 watt PSU...

Hmmmm. Interesting. I ordered an i3-8350k, too. Maybe I'll return the i7-8700. Or maybe I'll build a different PC with it. The DDR4-4000, I always buy the fastest RAM without going too too crazy, as this memory will be recycled into other computers later on that will be able to take...

Well I ordered ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac , G.SKILL TridentZ Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 & Intel i7-8700 CPU We'll see how it goes. Power is going to be CLOSE, very tight....

The case is an Antec ISK 310-150, I've looked and could find nothing compatible to upgrade the PSU, which mounts to the side with a long cable going to the back of the case for the IEC AC power socket.... have a look...

Hi A nice, but small, Antec mini-ITX case came my way. It has a non-standard size 150 watt power supply. So, only 150 watts, and no way to upgrade that. I want to build the fastest non-gaming PC for things like browsing the web, doing a few Microsoft Office documents, watching Netflix 1080p...

VW should use powerful AI to learn how to build reliable cars and provide quality service.

That's one of the cool things about the GTX 1080, it is quite power-efficient. It's power efficiency is as impressive as it's computing power.

I think I solved the issue. I think that the Gigabyte Z97X-UD-BK-CF motherboard M.2 connector doesn't support full PCIE bandwidth. Maybe it does if I find some setting I have not found, but anyway I installed the NVMe Samsung 950 PRO 256GB SSD onto an Asus HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD that I...
