Alright, so I'm currently rocking a Gigabyte RTX 3070 in my PC. Unfortunately it was the only one I could get my hands on at the time of purchase. I paid 799 for it, and it's already showing signs of age. (Louder fans, hotter even after cleaning, odd glitches now and again.) So, would it be...

So, I managed to get lucky enough to get my hands on an RTX 3070 after waiting in line at micro center for 3 hours, and now I have a very important question...... I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600X CPU. Will that be a bottleneck to the 3070? Mind you, most of my applications and games are on a 4k TV, at...

Well the connection currently being used is L2TP because my IT apparently doesn't believe in security. But I've tried just about everything I can think of. Changed registry settings to no avail, reset the router to factory default (when the VPN still worked) to no avail, tried adjusting the VPN...

Hi, it had actually originally resolved itself for a while, but now it's back to it. And I've taken it to my company IT before, he claims there's nothing he can do and that's it's on the ISP end. And I'm inclined to believe him since it gives me an error about NAT and not being able to connect...

You make a good point. I did just have to replace my motherboard and CPU recently. I didn't think anything of it at the time, just chocked it up to a bad overclock or the silicone lottery, but maybe that was when the leak originally occurred and my GPU was just fortunately spared.

Sorry, couldn't get the images to insert... Don't know if you can see it, but there's a dark spot of residue below where the AIO tubes are, on the GPU. Just above where it says GeForce in light gray on the backplate. GPU still works great thankfully. AiO Pump Residue on the GPU

Hey all, just need to get some verification that my CPU cooler might have finally gone bad. I have an h100i v2, have for years now. Lately my idle temps have been pretty high for an AIO, hovering around 45-50c. Almost like it's passively cooling. Also, the pump seems to run full throttle...

Thank you. That thread was very informative. I appreciate it.

Hey all, so I bought a Ryzen 5 3600x way back when the Gen3 first came out, and finally got a stable-ish overclock after a year of fiddling. Here's what I got. (Because otherwise my memory is stuck at 2133, and a quick CPU boost to 4.2 or 4.4 under load, isn't as useful as just having a 4.2 base...

I get where you're coming from, seeing as how this would make for easier swapping and personalization... However I have to get something with simplicity in mind. This is for my parents' home, not mine. They won't know the first thing of what to do with a complicated setup. So simplified, all in...

Hey all, Just looking for some suggestions for a cable modem to go with my service provider, Spectrum. I have the one they provide, but it's a piece of junk "Technicolor" something or other that drops connection to everything, every couple days and has to be reset. So I've been looking for one I...

Hey fellow PC users, gotta VPN problem. So I use my laptop at home to work through a VPN to my office... Well, yesterday my internet went down during a storm. It's come back up since, however now my VPN will no longer connect. Nobody else a my company is having VPN connection issues, just me...

Oh, right. Sorry. My bad, I assumed on a tech website, people would see 4K littered throughout my post and assume I'm using the standard 4K resolution 3,840 x 2160 ... But I guess common sense is in short supply even with moderators.

Just a quick question that I can't seem to find a straight answer on... Does HDMI 2.0b support HDR above 30hz? I just recently purchased a television that's 4K HDR compatible. And I have it hooked up to a PC with an RTX 2070, both are HDMI 2.0b standard and 4k HDR compatible. I can't seem to get...

I have a bit of a strange issue happening where, if I begin downloading a large file with with the MS Store (such as a game) the game download will stop with an error any time I open an exclusive fullscreen application. I'm not sure what could be causing this at all. Anyone have any ideas...
