    News AMD Purportedly Targeted by RansomHouse Extortion Group, 450Gb of Data Stolen

    So is Ransom House going to start bootlegging Radeon cards? AMD price is hinged to some basements boys bragging? What are they going to do with it? This just stinks of a stock spoof. Like the affluent goverments won't be able to identify the proprietary technology and seize the bootlegs. Like...

    Question How can I hook up a 3rd monitor? My system specs...

    I'm wonder if I can trouble you for some more information? You mentioned you hooked up 4 on a 7950. Can I hook up 4 on 7870 ( with the system specs above)? Also, I know the processor has some type of onboard graphics. Is it possible to mix those with a dedicated video card? It doesn't seem...

    [SOLVED] How can I set up a tethered (mobile phone) backup internet connection?

    The reason for it is stock trading online. Prices can change rapidly, and for an internet connection to go out in the middle of a trade could be costly. The tethered connection is a fail-safe to flatten or get out all trades. Its a rare event, but it does happen. It would be great if there was...

    Question Help connecting the front panel pins of a Corsair 4000D Airflow?

    Yes, I think someone on the Corsair board told me back in about March :) I still wonder if a reset switch is a bit of a waste. I've never used it but maybe different OS's need it? Thanks for the response!

    Question How can I set up computer to switch between two boot drives?

    I found the problem. In the BIOS, under the boot options, you have to scroll down to the bottom and there is option for hard drive priority. I need to set that to the hard drive I want to boot from. My mistake!

    Question How can I set up computer to switch between two boot drives?

    Hmm. Well I guess I'll have to install the other OS as portable on an external SSD. It just seems so odd that its quite easy to choose a USB boot device and it impossible to choose an internal boot device in the BIOS. Something is wrong there. Either the BIOS are FUBAR or I am completely...

    Question How can I set up computer to switch between two boot drives?

    When I installed the new OS on the M.2 drive, it was the only drive connected. I do that as a safeguard when I install any OS to prevent any mistakes. And it booted fine. I then removed it and hooked the SSD back up, and the SSD booted fine. Then I hooked the M.2 back up and it doesn't show up...

    Question How can I set up computer to switch between two boot drives?

    I have an MSI 490-a pro mother board. I have an OS installed on one SSD. I recently purchased an M.2 drive with the intention of installing a separate OS. I thought I would be able to select which drive to boot from in the BIOS, but that doesn't seem to be the case. After installing the new OS...

    [SOLVED] What's a good cooler for i9-10850k?

    Interesting. I like that he showed the cuts on his fingers from installing the fan on the Hyper 212. I'm still nursing the cuts on my fingers. I just have to believe those spikes to 100C, even short lived, has to shorten the life of the CPU. I'm between the NH-D15 and an AIO. From what I've...

    [SOLVED] What's a good cooler for i9-10850k?

    I don't plan on over clocking. Does turning on Intel's Turbo Boost count as over clocking? I know it makes the CPU run hot, but with it off and using the Hyper 212 in stays about 57-59 C during CPU 3D renders. That seems like a very safe temp from what I've read about the CPU. But I'm think in...
