    Spare GPU usable to stream?

    Just got a used gtx 1080 for cheap locally and I have my rx 570 4gb model still. I'm wondering if there's any reason to keep it as a secondary gpu in the system (for rendering/streaming to help offload from the cpu if that's even a thing?!) or should I just sell it off locally and get some dosh...

    Neighbour has installed high power WiFi that's taking my network down. What to do?

    Our old neighbour moved out and the new neighbour has installed a high power WiFi router (probably the 1000 mW TP link one with 9 dBi antennas.) As if the 10x power atrocity wasn't enough, the bandwidth has been set to 40 MHz. Now, I invested in a new router a few days ago - TP Link Archer...

    does having gpu fans spinning at high speeds affect its life span?

    ive been looking for a good fan curve for my gtx1080 and i see lots of people talk about how they set it to 20% for 20c, 40% for 40c, so basically a 1:1 ratio. Is this harmful for the card? Ive tried it and it spins REALLY loud. Which kinda worried me. But it did keep the card cool.
