It looks like some 7000 series cards, at least the 7900 XT and XTX, have a usb-c port on them. What exactly is this for? I am assuming it is for VR headsets, but I haven't found anything in the marketing or any reviews that specifically calls that out. Is it just for video. or does it carry data...

The internet in my desktop, my main machine, is very unreliable. Websites time out when trying to log in, YouTube vidoes buffer constantly, etc. My internet itself seems fine. Verizion FIOS, 1gig connection. Speedtests all come back in the high 800mpbs. No problem streaming 4k content on my tv...

I have an Asus Pro Art PA279q. A 27″, supposedly factory calibrated color accurate monitor with 100% AdobeRGB coverage. I’ve had it for almost six years now. During those six years I have kept it calibrated using the Datacolor Spyder5 and it’s software. After not bothering to calibrate it for...

....<Mod Edit> 2020 I swear

UPDATE: I was able to reproduce the issue for both drives in an external dock with my Windows laptop as well. SO I guess I somehow got two physically bad drives?

It still seems really unlikely that I would get two DOA drives at once though.

SeaTools reports the drive passing SMART

It's still running the Fix All Long test in SeaTools. but Crystal Disk Info sees the drive, but cannot pull a health status or temperature reading from it. I can check the other drive when this one is done, I think this is the one that had the loud grindy sounds the first time I fired it up.

Two Samsung M.2s and a 2tb 2.5" HDD (that is at close to capacity, hence why I was adding more storage).

I bought two 6tb Seagate Ironwolf drives. My short term plan was to put them into my desktop in RAID 1 as redundant storage. Long term plan is to eventually put them into a Synology NAS, hence why I paid extra for NAS drives. I can't get Windows to properly initialize either one. I am currently...

Hi all, Kind of a weird question. My keyboard has some media buttons across the top (on the function keys). The volume related ones work, but also don't work. Say I am watching a YouTube video in a chrome tab. If I press the mute, volume up, or volume down buttons, I get the visual indicator...

Hello all, I am looking to add a NAS to my current setup. I am a hobbyist photographer, but lately have been taking it a little more seriously and actually getting paying clients. I think my current solution.of just dumping all my raw files onto an internal drive, and then backing that drive up...

I've been having some BSOD issues, trying to narrow down the cause. Currently running Memtest off a bootable USB drive. It's 10 and 1/2 hours in and, unless I am reading this wrong, it's only 91% done of pass 1 of 4. Been on test 13 [Hammer test] for the last few hours. Is this normal? Is...
