After installing a 1050ti 4gb from a radeon 6870, I used DDU to get rid of all the old drivers, and started fresh. I got a bunch of games during the steam sale, and began playing the games I hadn't since my old graphics card broke. I cranked everything on high, and did some optimizing. Now...

Hi, I just recently got two JBL 8 ohm speakers. They take normal speaker wire, no rca connector. I am planning on making them work for essentially anything, whether for guitar, TV, computer, or 3.5mm (3.5mm isn't that much of a worry, I have a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter). I am guessing that this is...

A friend of mine recently moved to a new place and, with moving houses being said, has gotten a new room. There is a goal to put speakers (and a possibly a subwoofer) in said room. I will upload pictures of the room with all the corners included, and am open to suggestions on how the speakers...

So, I thought my graphics card was getting too toasty for my comfort; 30 degrees Celsius at idle and around 85 under load. It's an XFX HD 6870, so it's generally small but has a massive heatsink that comes in direct contact with the VRMs and RAM chips. There's about 5 years of smoker's dust on...

I might have posted something about this before, but now it's really getting out of hand. I have a powerline adapter in a faily old house - lots of noise in the circuitry. I get a huge loss in speed (via speedtest.net), but my ping stays fairly the same on both ends. Here are the results...
