mobo

So for some reason or other, my motherboard seems to not have a cmos battery present, does that mean that I'm unable to save bios settings at all, or does it mean they will be reset every time there is no power in the mobo?

The quest 3 just came out and it's looking pretty good especially when I see people talking about actually being able to read text. I use to have a VR headset an Oculus CV1 I don't know if it was just me, but if I remember correctly that headset was pretty bad and blurry with a noticeable screen...

So, about a week ago, I unhooked everything from my PC (Besides CPU/Heatsink and RAM) and aired out the GPU, Radiator, Fans, PSU, and Case with the compressed air tank we got in our garage. (Was just doing some cleaning because it was very dusty in the places I can't normally reach) Plugged...

Hey All - this is a unique one. I have had an RTX 2060 for a few years. The first thing I noticed with the card was that RTX features would crash instantly. I brushed this aside as RTX wasn't too important to me at the time. It has a unique issue I noticed when games started being DX12 or...

Hi everyone, I am considering upgrading my CPU (as well as mobo) and wanted some suggestions that won't break the bank. I am currently on an EVGA Z370 board with an i5 8600k @ 5GHz all-core. At this point, 6c/6t just isn't cutting it anymore so what would be some solid value upgrades? If I...
