USB PCI-E Card - Speed and Drivers?

I needed more 3.0 ports so I installed a PCI-Express card that into the first PCI slot on my motherboard. The expansion card is powered so I have a power cord plugged into it. Seemed to install as expected and windows took care of the drivers without issue. Plugging drives in they all connected...

Editing Video laggy-What Video Card?

What is a reasonable video card to edit GoPro footage of my family vacations? I was filming in 4K but I immediately dropped it down to 2.7K because I knew playback and editing would be a problem and i'm fine with 2.7K quality. I can stream in VLC for the most part, but if I try to stream and...

Best NAS for a good price?

I've been very happy with my QNap Nas, has been running about 2+ years and never misses a beat. Only time it goes down is for quick firmware updates when I trigger them. I can't recommend it enough.

Router Recommendations? Or Google Wifi/Mesh?

I want to upgrade my router and was considering this router since people say its fast, tri-band, and its range is very far. The reviews on TP-Link AC3200 seem like it may be a decent single router setup: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Tri-Band-Archer-C3200/dp/B00YY3XSSA Current Setup...

My CPU Vs New CPU's? Worth Upgrading? Intel i7-2700K

I may try to overclock the 2700K and see how it performs. Also may try a fresh load of Windows and see if that helps as well. If not i'll be buying components, good timing with Black Friday around the corner I suppose.

My CPU Vs New CPU's? Worth Upgrading? Intel i7-2700K

Thanks for the feedback everyone. 40%+ Seems like it would be a worthy upgrade. So will I definitely have to upgrade my motherboard to upgrade my CPU, or are there any socket 1155's available that would be worth upgrading? I see that the chips you all have mentioned are socket 1151's. So a...

My CPU Vs New CPU's? Worth Upgrading? Intel i7-2700K

I can use some help with deciding if I should build a new computer. Ever since updating to Windows 10, my computer feels a bit more sluggish, and Video editing can be painful. Are CPU's of today much quicker than the CPU I'm running? I checked some of those CPU comparison sites and it seems...

Laser Printer Streaks-Toner Going Bad? Cartridge reach its end of life?

I have a simple monochrome Brother Laser printer that has been a work horse for over 15000 pages. I've refilled the toner cartridge at least 3-4 times in all those pages. Now for whatever reason if I look at the toner roller the toner is spotty all along and there are lines and areas that...

240GB SSD Recommendations?

You are right, next time i'll probably just send the drive back. I have 30,000+15,000 emails I'm sure, but none are considered classified lol. Man, HD shopping is a slippery slope. I started out looking for a new SSD for my secondary computer so the best of the best wasn't a factor. Now I've...

240GB SSD Recommendations?

Thanks everyone, has really helped narrow down a sea of options. I'm leaning towards the 850 EVO. I run the PNY CS1311 in my main computer so I'll be planning to move that data over to the new drive I buy, and run the PNY CS1311 in my secondary machine. The CS2211 and the Sandisk Ultra II also...

Copying SATA to Flash drive on 3.0USB Port too slow?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Now that I think of it, it is a USB 2.0 drive. It just seemed so darn slow as it was copying, and it took a long while. Strange though, I tried it in a different computer and it was much faster. I wonder if the first computer has some sort of bottleneck in the...
