    Question How to enable sound with Yamaha RX-V377 with HDMI ARC into an older Bose soundbar

    I tried what you'd suggested. Checking ARC, it was enabled already; there was only one ARC mode that I could find, which was the previous. Changing the Simplink settings didn't seem to help. That's ok. Sound runs well enough from the TV Optical out to the soundbar itself, was otherwise hoping...

    Question How to enable sound with Yamaha RX-V377 with HDMI ARC into an older Bose soundbar

    I wasn't really worried about stereo being surround sound, I was just perplexed as to why no other audio can be driven though the AV Out RCA connection regardless of the source. Tried every combination I could see, no dice. I just put the Optical back into the back of the TV to go directly...

    Question How to enable sound with Yamaha RX-V377 with HDMI ARC into an older Bose soundbar

    Hi, all, I have a setup problem that I just can't figure out. My present components are: Yamaha RX-V377 Receiver, an LG 3d TV and an older Bose soundbar with only optical and RCA inputs. I've successfully created a passthrough with the HDMI/ARC through the TV, and my other peripherals (BD...

    Question Different Hz values on the same model monitors

    Greetings, all! I'm stumped on this one. I have three identical monitors, the Acer 34" Fire Legend (Sold as AOpen), Model # 34HC5CUR. Link to Micro Center for details...

    [SOLVED] FPS drops in every game ?

    My suggestion would be 850W or more. 1000W would be overkill, but there's nothing wrong with that either. At least you'd have a ton of headroom, powerwise! Also, the above suggestion of checking airflow is pretty good too. A couple of extra fans (one in, one out, though you should have equal...

    [SOLVED] FPS drops in every game ?

    Straightaway, you have the absolute minimum recommended PSU for this card...750W. Your CPU alone can draw up to 205 watts at its peak (according to Anandtech.com). My guess would be that, between these two, the PSU may be struggling quite a bit to keep up with any and all higher power...

    Question GPU VGA LED light on for Graphics card RTX3070 TI Aorus

    Good afternoon, So I noticed that you're replacing an AMD card with an NVIDIA card...was DDU applied to wipe the AMD drivers before installing the NVIDIA drivers? There will be a conflict if this isn't done. Also, from my own experience, I had an MSI RX 5700 XT a couple of years ago that...

    Question What's causing my desktop background to go black (override) and refresh rate lowered and capped?

    Hi! Can you give part specifics/system specs for your setup please? Thanks!

    Question Cannot get both monitors to display at the same time ?

    Is this card within your RMA warranty? This sounds like the card is just flat dying or defective as it should just plain work without issue. This sounds like a defective GPU/GPU developed a defect to me.

    [SOLVED] Will Arctic Freezer II 240 a-rgb fit in Deepcool Matrexx 50?

    According to PCPartPicker, it will fit, yes. Looking at the case itself and adding in the "View compatible CPU coolers", that's the first one listed on my screen. I have the 360 version of that same cooler and the radiator is decently thick along with the clearance you'd need for the fans, but...

    Question Wraith Prism Cooler works intermittently

    I've run a Prism as a stopgap solution for a 3950X for a few months a couple of years ago on a B450 Tomahawk board, and that was also while running Folding @ Home nearly continuously. I have the screenshots for temps to prove it. A Prism, therefore, should have little problem handling a 3700X...

    [SOLVED] AMD ryzen 5600x wont work on b550 tomahawk

    Good day, Can you list your exact model of motherboard please? Different vendors have varying ways of updating a BIOS. We can give you better advice at that point. Thanks!

    [SOLVED] MB or PSU on Win10 Uncommanded Restarts...?

    Final update: It was the PSU...sort of. I finally went and swapped out the PSU for my machine. Turns out that the 24-pin ATX connector on the PSU side didn't "click" in all the way. I wouldn't have discovered this if I hadn't gone in to do a swap out. My working theory is that the PSU side...

    [SOLVED] MB or PSU on Win10 Uncommanded Restarts...?

    So, as you've said prior, it may not be optimal but I ended up unchecking the automatic restart button in the Control Panel option and I've had no further restarts for three days. This is a clean install of Win10 as of two weeks ago and had actually done the sfc/scannow several times prior to...
