    News Chinese DRAM maker CXMT 18.5nm node allegedly complies with U.S. export rules

    They must have learned it from Intel. Oh wait.

    Question Ethernet switch but in reverse possible?

    Are you planning to use the orbi sa a wifi receiver, which is then wired to your PC only? If so, just get a USB adapter, it will likely be better. If you're planning to connect other devices as well to the orbi, then just stick with it.

    Question Blank monitor screen on HP Workstation running Unix ?

    Seems like the default console has been changed from the screen to the serial port of the computer. If you connect a serial cable to the port, you can connect to the console using putty, or similar. This will also allow you to access the settings and set the default console back to the screen...

    Question Computer working but no display output ?

    The board does have a HDMI port because it does support CPUs with integrated graphics, but their CPU (Ryzen 5 2600) does not have a GPU, so even if he did connect something to that HDMI port, there would be no output. Back to the topic, would you be able to try a different GPU and/or test your...

    Question BIOS background color changed

    I think the GPU is outputting a signal in the YCbCr colour space until Windows loads the proper drivers for it and your monitor can't quite comprehend that. There is nothing wrong with it, other than the fact that it understandably bothers you. Nothing is faulty or broken, I mean. Just a...

    Question Video Edit: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G or Intel Core i5 12400?

    I think AMD would be better for timeline scrubbbing, they usually have better driver support and compatibility for editing software.

    Question Is it possible to run 6 monitors on my PC?

    You may be able to use a DisplayPort MST hub, just like this one: https://www.startech.com/en-gb/display-video-adapters/mst14dp122dp The 4080 should support DP 1.4, which it requires.

    Question Could dual Xeon run each on 4pin EPS Cable?

    It may turn on, but some boards check the presence of an 8-pin power connector and won't even turn on if only 4-pin cables are used. You may be able to get an adapter that converts two 6-pin PCIe cables to one 8=pin CPU power connector. But you should only do that if the PSU has enough power...

    News Windows 10 Still More Popular Than Windows 11, Two Years Later

    It's simply filled with ads and tools I'll never use. I don't want an AI copilot or Office 365, thanks very much, or any of the ads in the start menu and elsewhere. All of this just slows things down for no benefits to me whatsoever. On my main PC, I run Linux and of I really need Windows for...

    News Taiwanese Companies Deny Helping Huawei Produce Chips

    The US doesn't seem to realize that these sanctions will only speed up China's independence in designing and manufacturing their own semiconductors and semiconductor fabs. The CCP can and does put a lot of money into the sector and they have tight controls over every single company, something...

    Upgrade ATI Radeon HD 4250 to a higher one

    It should work with the older quad core Phenom IIs as well. I suggest you get one of those second hand, and buy the best GPU from the money you have left. They are actually better and cheaper than the quad core FX processors.

    Mini-ITX build suggestions

    First of all, it's a good match, though if I was building it for myself, I'd go for an even smaller case. But you mentioned using BT devices. More than one at a time. That won't go very well. I was doing the same thing, a BT mouse, keyboard and headphones at the same time, connected to my...

    I5 8600k + GTX 1070 bottleneck?

    you should be fine with 4-500W. As of the bottleneck, they make a good pair, so there wouldn't be any.

    Time to upgrade and what to upgrade?

    What are the games that you are playing? Some like better CPUs and others are more GPU intensive. If you have a better-than-1080p or high refresh rate screen, I'd say go for the GPU, but you can also consider running an SLI setup with 2 1080s, if your games scale well.
