    I put an Asus GTX 750ti OC in my XPS 8500 and another in my son's XPS 8700 - 6 pin to the 460W PSU, 6 months ago. It works flawlessly in both machines.

    Blue yeti picks up too much?

    Have you adjusted the mic gain within the Sound driver? You can search microphone test and it will set it automatically, usually between 40-60 and then I have my Yeti gain at around 11:00

    Blue Yeti Distortion?

    Do you have your speaker system on? You may be causing feedback as the Yeti hears sounds coming from your computer speakers. Turn off speakers and see if that helps issue.

    I am confused why the ram i bought doesnt work

    1st, they should be in slots #1 & #3 or #2 & #4... 2nd, Dell computers have issues with the CL of RAM... I believe the OEM are CL 11 RAM and they like the slower CL 11 RAM and not CL 9 and smaller. you may want to try the original ram in 1 and 3 and new RAM on 2 and 4 and see if it sees all the...

    Is wireless network card upgrade for desktop to 5G needed?

    Last question... at 50+Mbps where I know streaming video has no issue... does this 10% variance between the benchmark in my house (wired 59Mbps) and 2.4G (wifi 53Mbps) present any discernable lag for online video game play? I guess I'm trying to discern what benefits from a 10% improvement...

    Is wireless network card upgrade for desktop to 5G needed?

    Thanks for the suggestions. What I know is my download speed on my wired computer is 10% quicker than with 2.4G wifi based on the Ookla speed test. Upload speed is about identical. So the question is... is 10% a big deal? How much of that 10% would be reduced by a 5G ac card? Based on this...

    Is wireless network card upgrade for desktop to 5G needed?

    I recently bought a Netgear AC1900 router with 2.4G/5G. A lot of my portable stuff connects to the 5G band but my son's pimped out desktop upstairs has only an 'N' vs. 'AC' card so only connects to the 2.4G band. First let me say the AC1900 has really been impressive for me. Second, my...

    Samsung 840 Pro SSD vs Samsung 840 Evo SSD

    I've had the 840 Pro 256GB in my desktop since before the EVO came out. I love it. I suspect it will long outlast my desktop. I just bought an 840 EVO 250GB for my son's desktop yesterday... but waiting for the 6GB SATAIII cord to arrive today to finalize installation. It was ~$70 price...

    Laptop Design - Laptop built for lap?

    It is well documented if you want to actually use a laptop on your lap or sitting on the bed it has to be propped up to provide ventilation, using a cooling pad, etc... My wife and son rather not deal with the technicalities and over the years have burnt up a few HDDs. In addition to blocking...

    Is Ivy Bridge outdated?

    My understanding is that unless the integrated graphics of the 4770 are needed, the 2 are more or less a push.
