Yes, I am the administrator and only account on the PC.

Hi all, I am using Windows 10 Pro. In my downloads folder under users/name/downloads I can't move or cut and paste multiple files or folders. I can drag and drop files and folders one at a time and then delete the remaining file from downloads one at a time, but if I select more than one then...

Hi all, I need some of your expert opinions and some help, please. I am thinking of getting a new mouse and keyboard and I have some options in mind I want to try. I just am not sure some are actually good reading the reviews. I primarily play FPS games I guess and multiplayer online. Here are...

Thank you - I appreciate it; but I read most of that when I Googled the error. Since I am not familiar with it, I thought someone could enlighten me more than google searches would in terms of what it is, what causes it and why, and how to fix it beyond what google can tell me.

Hi all, I received a stack-based buffer overflow error on my PC yesterday. I am fairly tech savvy, but this isn't an error I have personally received before. I did some googling to see what the error is, how to fix it, and what could have caused it. I only received it once so far, so it's hard...

No, I definitely have it set to blow out. You actually just made me check and I second-guessed myself too. lol I really should update this post because I figured it out last night and stumbled into it during an epiphany.

Hello all, UPDATE: I believe I figured it out. In my frustration, I made sure I had all the latest drivers, chipset, Bios, etc. After updating those, I realized Nvidia recently updated the GeForce Experience and when I got the latest driver not all that long ago, I updated GeForce...

Right, but the difference with a top-mounted AIO and front for the CPU temps are more marginal than the GPU usually. I would only top mount an AIO personally.

Not a big fan of the size of large radiators. They just aren't pleasing to look at for me most of the time. The designs could be better colored or something, but generally, companies are not doing that very much.

I do have them all in hand, but I am not keeping all of them. So, I would not have the time to open, test, and try all three. What do you mean by trade off for GPU and CPU cooling with an AIO? Doesn't it depend on where you mount the radiator with an AIO for GPU cooling or does an AIO in...

I agree with that. Statistically speaking, it is much more likely that the pump will fail before the AIO leaks and ruins anything. I would just have to monitor performance temps more frequently than I currently do I now so that I notice it right away. The 3900X was up there when I purchased it...

Thank you. Yes, I know those coolers are good too. I have made my mind up really on the three that I would choose that are within a certain budget. I do like models like the NZXT Kraken Z53/52 that have the LCD screen on the pump. I know other brands have since come out with something similar...

Hi all, as odd as it is I have a mid-range air cooler I bought when I built my PC that has a fan that is failing. Buying a new fan is easy enough, but I figured I would upgrade my cooler anyways. However, I tend to overthink things for a variety of reasons. I have in my possession a Dark Rock...

Hi, I have a hard drive that crystal disk and hdtune says has bad sectors. I ran chkdsk and it did not identify any. Is one more accurate than another? I guess there isn't a way to fix retired sectors. I just have to watch the drive as it will eventually die. Are there better hard drive...
