My last monitor was a Samsung C32HG70, a 32" 1440P 144Hz VA panel.
I got it back in 2018 or so, so I had already used it with Windows 10 for 2-3 years before I upgraded to Windows 11. Since Windows 11 moved the Start Menu to the center, I noticed that the old Windows 10 Start Menu icon was...
If you are using 11 Pro, then just use the Domain Join option:
If you are using 11 Home, then your best option (aside from a 3rd party utility) would be to install 10 using a Local Account, and then upgrade to 11. When you upgrade, the local account is preserved.
HP made multiple versions of the Z230. How old is yours, and what form factor (Small Form Factor or Mini-ATX)?
Is the power supply fan the only exhaust fan for your whole system?
Here I have my trusty old X-Fi Titanium HD. I've owned it for about a decade now. It has been a great card for me that entire time. For a long time, I used it in my main computer. A couple of years ago I swapped from using the X-Fi Titanium HD in my main computer to using a regular X-Fi...
I'm still waiting for reviews that include performance numbers from the games that I actually care about, as well as comparisons against cards that are more than 1-2 generations old.
I used SLI and Crossfire many times in the past. Shame to see it go away. DX12 multi-GPU is BS. Everyone knew from the moment they announced it that hardly any game developers would bother with it. Now you have $700-1000 cards (3080) that don't even come with an SLI/NVlink connector anymore...
I have this one AVC Fan, model number DA12025B12L that has been a VERY reliable fan for me over the years. I recently had a chance to buy a pack of fans with the same model number for fairly cheap. I like to have spare fans on-hand so I bought them. When they arrived, I was surprised to see...
With my 2500k and Z68 board, the onboard GPU also has to be set as the primary display adapter or it is automatically disabled. I use my onboard to handle some secondary displays for 2D purposes. Only downside of having your onboard as primary is that your BIOS and startup info will come up on...
It looks like you have a 6 pin and an 8-pin coming from each of your 3rd and 4th rails. Each rail is good for 30 amps. Yeah, you can spread the load across multiple rails without issue. You should be fine.
Existing games are limited to a great extent by the way DirectX 11 works and how many games are coded. Regardless of how many cores you have, a great deal of processing is still done on a single core. In many cases it is mostly secondary tasks that are run on the additional cores. You are...
Great idea!
Turning auto-updates on or off has nothing to do with whether it's using Windows Update or Microsoft Update. It will simply auto-update patches for windows only. Besides, when I'm trying to get a build done quick, I don't have time to let auto updates do their thing.
I had...
