Thanks. I thought of this, but I hoped there would be some software solution. My PC is built into a compartment under my desk, so any hardware change is a big job. Depending on which fan is the problem, the front case fans for example, I can access them if I climb under the desk. Thanks for the...

There is a fan in my computer that is very loud when it ramps up to max speed. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to locate which one. Is there a tool I can use to ramp up speed on each fan to find the culprit?

Hello, I just set up my first Home theater. I'm using my PC playing audio through the Nvidia HDMI to a Yamaha RX-V385 AV Receiver. All of the 5.1 content on my PC (movies, Netflix, games etc) sound fantastic. The issue comes up whenever I play stereo content (music, older movies, You Tube etc)...

I feel like a simple explanation for exactly what I want will help this. I have one modem from Comcast (basement of main house). From that modem I want to get physical Ethernet plugs and a WAP to the main house office upstairs and the next door garage/office. Both locations need wired ports and...

You guys are rock stars! every once in a while you get a reminder that the internet is more than just a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Here are some pictures of the Comcast modem installed in the basement at my parents house. https://imgur.com/a/V2yY2yZ The modem output appears to have...

TLDR: Can you connect more than one wireless router to the main ISP modem installed on site? I searched through the forums here for a while and was unable to find a solution for my particular quandary. I agreed to help my parents figure out how to get two separate WiFi routers (hopefully with...

Thanks!

I just picked up a 4K TV that supports 4k at 60hz, I ran my current 25ft HDMI cable from my GTX 1080 desktop and was limited to 30hz at 4k. While reading around a little I found out that I will probably need a specific type of HDMI cable (or display port to HDMI?) to achieve the 60hz. I know...

That's kind of what I figured. Swapping the configuration takes only a few seconds. I just get a kick out of optimizing, and simplifying stuff like this.

So I've recently completed a simple hardware project. I ran an HDMI cable, USB extension cable and a 3.5 mm cable from my desktop through one wall to my bedroom to play games and watch videos in bed. The setup went exactly as expected, everything works as intended. I would like to make a macro...

Thanks, I went through and did everything you suggested. I will report back once I've let it sleep a few times.

About a week ago, I presume after a Windows update, my PC does not wake form sleep. Sometimes it wakes but my mouse buttons don't work and when I tab over to power and reset it goes to a loading screen indefinitely until I force power off with the button on my case. I have had Windows 10 since...

The Beyerdynamic headphones are 250ohms and I was looking at the Topping TP30 Amp/DAC and I'm trying to find out if this amp can power a set of 250ohm headphones. Both the headphones and amp/DAC come very highly recommended and are very affordable. I have little experience in headphone amps and...
