    Question Can I use a spare router to create a direct wireless connection between my PC and devices in the same room without connecting it to my main router?

    I can’t run Ethernet from the room with my PC to my main router across the house. All of my devices in this room are on a 2.4 GHz band to connect to the internet because the 5 GHz band constantly drops connection. The issue I’m having is that I would like to stream games from my PC to devices...

    Question Can fiber optical or active HDMI cables damage the HDMI board/ports they’re plugged into?

    I’m probably going to sound dumb here but this isn’t in my wheel house. A few months ago, I bought a 50-foot fiber optical HDMI cable from RUIPRO. This seemed like a reputable brand on various AVS forums and cost around $70. It worked as expected, but I noticed that the connectors were really...

    [SOLVED] Will there be any negative effects to my CPU and its lifespan if I disable global C-States in my bios?

    My fans are the standard RGB ones from NZXT that came with my case. The fans are designed to plug into their own fan controller. They won't plug into my motherboard directly without some cable modification or a special cable that I have yet to find. My AIO is also HID so it won't work without...

    [SOLVED] Will there be any negative effects to my CPU and its lifespan if I disable global C-States in my bios?

    NZXT's CAM software is freezing my Ryzen PC (3700X). NZXT is aware of the issue but still has yet to come out with a fix for over a year. People have said that disabling global C-States has fixed the issue for them, and I need CAM in order to use my AIO and fan controller properly. Will...

    [SOLVED] My PC keeps freezing up with the latest feature updates following ver. 1909 (both 2004 and now 20H2). I feel like I tried everything?

    Hello, sorry for any confusion by my previous 'answer.' I have since determined the actual problem to what I've been experiencing. If, by chance, you are using any NZXT devices (e.g. AIO, fan controller) on a Ryzen-based system, which requires NZXT's CAM software to perform optimally, then this...

    [SOLVED] My PC keeps freezing up with the latest feature updates following ver. 1909 (both 2004 and now 20H2). I feel like I tried everything?

    Oddly enough, it seems that I just needed to disconnect/reconnect my monitors from my GPU. Apparently the 2004 feature update adjusted some things involving the monitors with differing refresh rates. This was likely the culprit.

    Windows 10 will not detect my second monitor; it only detects a specific one.

    My dual monitors worked up until recently when I plugged all of my cables back into my computer and logged in. My monitors are both plugged into my video card via DVI connection. I switched cables, plugged them into different ports, and tried plugging only the monitor that doesn't work, but...

    How do I reformat my Secondary Hard Drive?

    Long story short, I had to wipe my SSD boot drive and reinstall Windows 10. Since then, I've been running into a few issues with my secondary hard drive containing programs and games not recognized by windows, so I can't uninstall them properly. I already decided on wiping my hard drive and...
