Hey, a bit of a serious question here and it's probably not in the right spot so sorry about that. I want to have as few identifying pieces of information here as possible but I recently became aware that my ex had been having all my emails forwarded to them by use of a filter in Gmail. I have...

Thanks for the tip! Uninstalling the device actually seemed to work although I didn't even get a chance to reinstall because it just did it itself. Given that it seemed the network problems were solved, I moved my main PC in yesterday and it's been perfect until I tried to do a Discord call...

Okay, this is pretty confusing. I've had the laptop I've been using for about 6 months now. It's a Dell G7 with a Killer AX1650i card in it. I've just moved house and my internet is working fine on every device (older laptops, phone, TV, wired devices like my NAS and PC) except this. Doing speed...

Ahh, that's interesting to know. I did not know that. Thanks! I shall go with the Gigabit option in that case. Cheers! I did have MoCA recommended to me but there are no coax plugs in here and I would have to get an electrician or something round to find out if there's a cable even run to where...

Hi all, I'm building my first desktop after being a laptop guy forever and I'm thinking about networking. I'm not in a place where I can run a direct line from the router so I thought about going down the Powerline route. That said, I'm actually planning to move in about 6 months so it might...

The thing is, it's actually the 3060 plain that's rumoured to have 12GB which is why this is a confusing question. It's worse in one area and better in another. I've looked at the Puget article before and it's very helpful. It's actually where I got my 8GB VRAM recommendation from. And I...

Oh, yeah. I've well got that covered. I managed to snag myself a 5900X so I should be set on the CPU front for a while. I know the older cards would certainly do things just fine and any of the new stuff would be more than capable but given the price difference between the 3060 and 3060 Ti...

Hi all, So I'm building a new video editing rig which will be nice as I've been mostly using laptops up until now and I'm trying to decide which GPU I ought to go for. Obviously I don't need anything super high-end as I'm topping out at 4K in Davinci Resolve and Premiere/After Effects so my...

Hi all, I've been flip-flopping on a bunch of cases. Each one I've considered seems to be almost right but not quite. While I like RGB, them as front case fans have never really looked that great to me but the RGB intake vents really appeal to me. I've been staying away from completely solid...

Yeah, it sure is unfortunate that they don't have hardware controls. Apparently it's something to do with the white point not being able to be set right. Setting it manually to 6500K seemed to yield better results but still not close enough. The thing is, it's not a slight difference...

Hi all, I bought an Xrite i1 Display Studio yesterday and I set up my new monitor and that looks pretty good to me but I was able to adjust the Red, Green and Blue channels in the monitor’s OSD to get the coloured bars at the right level which helped a considerable amount. On my laptop screen...

Ah, that's it! Thank you so much! I'm normally a good googler but all I was getting was type-C to type-A plugs for Macbooks and the like.

Hi all, I'm picking parts for my new build and there's a good deal on the motherboard I want (B550M Steel Legend). The case I have my eye on (Deepcool CL500) has a front panel type C which only the full ATX B550 version of the motherboard has a header for. I prefer pretty much everything else...

Okay, breakthrough. I managed to get it working as I wasn't aware I was supposed to be using WAN rather than LAN. Both were hooked up but I couldn't get them to both be on the same network without causing a conflict. I need to do another wired test I think, though, because the speed is far from...

That's a good idea. I'll send that through now.
