    Hi! Just recently all of a sudden started randomly getting a black rectangle that cover the right size of the main screen, it looks kind of like the notification sidebar but it's a about 20-40px thinner. It covers everything at all, as in it's always on top of any other application...

    CPU Fan pushing RAM - is it dangerous?

    Apparently it's not stable, just reboots at some point, not that I ever thought that it was a good idea in the first place. But yeah, I actually managed to just put cooler on top of RAM, so it's not bending at all, just touches it from the top. It's now a bit taller but it still covers pretty...

    CPU Fan pushing RAM - is it dangerous?

    Hi, Here's the picture, says more than words: Baically - CPU cooler is pushing onto one of the RAM sticks tilting it to the side, but connection is still ok. Question is - realistically, will it cause any trouble? Like damage Mobo or Ram over the time?

    Add Sata ports to PC (SATA, SAS?)

    Hello! I'm looking for a way to add SATA ports to my DIY home server. I always knew about PCI Raid controllers, but I don't need Hardware RAID (and those cards are expensive), what I need is a PCI-E card that would give me as much simple non-raid SATA ports as possible, for a cheap price...
