    Question Advice on upgrading processor for Windows 11 compatability

    I’m considering purchasing a new processor for my gaming tower built in 2014 in order to run Windows 11 and hesitate to spend the money in fear of discovering the upgrade still won’t work. My reason for doing this is simply to get familiar with Windows 11 at home so that I can use it at work in...

    Question Is Low Frequency Protection Windows setting gone?

    Got it. I will give it a try but am going to wait a few days. I'm finishing up a major project under a time crunch and don't want to risk messing up the computer before. Not too long ago I was in a similar position when Windows Update rendered it unbootable and I had to recover the project files...

    Question Is Low Frequency Protection Windows setting gone?

    You mean a third party app? I'm not able to go down that rabbit hole at the moment, but I did just update Windows and Geforce Experience with still no luck.

    Question Is Low Frequency Protection Windows setting gone?

    Thanks. I research before making purchases and a lot of planning when into the system and it has paid off in many years of excellent performance and minimal problems, most of which were caused by me or Microsoft. Windows 10 Home 19043.1826 I tried what the guide said systematicaly for every...

    Question Is Low Frequency Protection Windows setting gone?

    It's an audio high-pass filter which used to be listed in the Enhancements tab of my audio device Properties but has suddenly disappeared and been replaced with three new options that don't seem to do what I need. Was this feature eliminated in an update? I've googled it and keep ending up down...

    Sound isolation for an apartment

    I'm moving into an upstairs apartment and want to isolate the sound from my stereo speakers so my neighbors can't hear them. I already do things like turning the bass all the way down and keeping the volume low, but I have floor-standing speakers and I expect sound will conduct through the...

    Is it normal for case fan speeds to fluctuate wildly?

    Interesting. Now, all of my fans are connected to the motherboard. The case fan switches are wires coming off the fans themselves with the switches at the end. Are you saying that the motherboard can't properly read fan speeds on the case fans? I will add that the case fans have three-pin...

    Is it normal for case fan speeds to fluctuate wildly?

    I am using Corsair Link to monitor my system. My Corsair PSU has a USB connection to the motherboard, and the Corsair Link software is made to monitor the PSU, but also displays the rest of my system information. After you posted this, I referred back to Corsair Link and realized the case fan...

    Is it normal for case fan speeds to fluctuate wildly?

    I just built a gaming system. The case came with two fans which have two-way speed switches which I left at the low setting for the first couple of weeks. Playing Skyrim Special Edition, the system seemed to be keeping itself quite cool with those fans running between 600 and 800rpm. I just...

    Do power strips protect equipment?

    I have almost always used them, more for distribution than protection. I ran out awhile back and never bought any more, and I have some devices plugged straight into the wall, like my Mac Mini and laptop. When I turn the ceiling fan on and off, I hear pops from my stereo speakers and it is...

    Do non-Apple monitors work well with Mac Desktops? Any specific needs

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini that I'm running on a 47" JVC television via HDMI. I work with live-video projection systems, and we frequently plug Mac Minis and MacBooks into our video switchers using different kinds of connectors. I used to use my old PowerMac with a Samsung LCD monitor. I have rarely...
