    Question What is max practical distance from wireless AP?

    I would somewhat respectfully disagree that there isn't a theoretical answer. Theoretical could go with ideal conditions; no walls, flat land, and mounted on a short pole for example. Then add caveats that a wall clad in drywall reduces distance by 50' or plywood reduces by 50'.(numbers pulled...

    Question What is max practical distance from wireless AP?

    I've got an Aruba IAP-215 that I'm trying to find the max practical distance on. So far, I can't find what I want with bing. I found this datasheet: https://www.arubanetworks.com/assets/ds/DS_IAP215.pdf It claims 5 GHz 802.11ac and 2.4 GHz 802.11n. I'm debating if I need to move it to...

    Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

    I'll look into that. I don't think I stated my video use very well :( My monitor is 4k. I play in windowed mode most of the time. So for example, my Roguetech window is 1920x1080. As an example of how 'bad' Roguetech is, while on a settings menu, it is tying up 17GB of 32GB ram. But to...

    Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

    I can't say I've had a problem with the board but I'm also not pushing it since I know it isn't a performance board. From the first about five minutes of that video, the guy strikes me as dumb. His nitpick is throwing premium performance CPUs on a low end board and then it not performing like...

    Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

    Roguetech is a memory hog as well as a core hog. I'm not upset with graphics performance in MW5. To me, less critical performance hit than 'issues' with Roguetech. I am playing windowed mode on a 4k monitor(2xxx res)

    Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

    I've got a 'gaming lite' computer that I'd like to upgrade the CPU. I do mainly Mechwarrior 5 with mods, Roguetech, and other AAA(low requirement) games. It is setup as: MB ASRock B660M-HDV CPU i3-12100F 32GB Ram Nvidia GTX 1050ti Windows 11 According to ASRock, it supports 12, 13, and 14 gen...

    Question How many of you hate or dislike your CPU coz you were forced to get it due to reasons?

    Somewhat this... but I won't say I hate it. I occasionally have a problem with MW5 and Roguetech but not enough to pay for an upgrade. But I'm also not convinced my issue isn't the graphics card: NVidia 1050ti.

    Question I oscillate between 8700k ,6800k or 7820x

    I did a i3-12100F($100) + ASRock B660M-HDV motherboard($100) + 32GB ram($90) for a bit under $300 for new to my door parts. I forget the cooler I bought but it was ~$20. Here is CPU I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325299861175 It is a 4/8 core system just like you are looking at and does...

    Question Favorite Windows program to find/remove duplicate files

    I just gave this a whirl and it was hugely helpful. LOTS of fat trimmed. I didn't try to delete 100k's of file at once but I was able to track directories and delete via file explorer.

    Question Favorite Windows program to find/remove duplicate files

    Title basically is it. I'm creating some master backups before replicating them to a large file server(movies, music, and other files) Currently, the content is going to be spread out on three 4TB drives almost completely full. I'm 90% certain there are some duplicate files. I can hook the...

    Question Graphics driver i5-650 windows 10

    Out of curiosity, how did you come up with this number? I want to say I spent well under $400 USD for a 12100F, 32GB RAM, cooler, and ASRock B660M-HDV about 3 months ago. I reused a case, PSU, and SSDs.

    Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

    Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

    I've run Tomato on two routers for years. Current router has been running it for ~6 years with no issues. Main reason I'm going from Tomato to PFsense is to rack mount all my hardware.

    Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

    I'm hoping to only have to use this setup for max of a day or two while I get the PFsense working correct. Once PFsense is working, I am going to pull the Tomato completely. So buying more hardware for very temporary setup is out of the question. My ISP gives me four static IP addresses due...

    Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

    Correct, I have a fiber line/cable to a piece of equipment that converts it to copper ethernet. From that piece of equipment("modem" or "converter"), I have a single ethernet cable going to my Tomato router. Hubs are what in my storage closet:D From what I recall at a basic level, hubs just...

    Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

    Title is the short. I have ATT business fiber optic with their 'modem' hardware. It currently goes to a Tomato firmware router. I'm hoping to covert over to a PFsense computer for routing duties. I can't have an extended downtime while I play around with PFsense. I'm not confident in a...

    Question Recommend me a low to mid level graphics card for "light" gaming (new or used)

    Thanks for the feedback so far and the explanation on "risk" for mining cards. If I were getting used, I would be going "local" to me(ie in USA). The 1050ti was used when I bought it and is doing fine. The BIOS change is interesting. Out of curiosity, is it a display disabling change? As I...

    Question Recommend me a low to mid level graphics card for "light" gaming (new or used)

    I'll bite. What type of issue is miner cards having? My experience with computer stuff is if it lasts the first ~3months, it is good for years.

    Question Recommend me a low to mid level graphics card for "light" gaming (new or used)

    I am doing older games like Battletech with Roguetech upgrade(ie memory hog), Shadowrun Returns, and Warhammer 2. I have ZERO interest in FPS games or multiplayer type games. First half of it is kind of a lie since I've broken into Mechwarrior 5:innocent: My system is a bit on the lower end: I...

    Question What "cheap" current processor/MB should I be looking at for "gaming light"?

    Just a quick update and thanks for all the feedback provided. The motherboard ended up being a ASRock B660M MicroATX. Price drove this. As noted, I just needed a black and yellow board that said motherboard; basically no frills. Since the CPU can't overclock, I don't feel I needed a z690 and I...

    Question Help me flesh out a 12100F build

    I run a pure OS drive and then the games/apps go on another drive. I'm currently typing from the new system and pretty happy with it. OS drive is about half eaten so no big deal. I've got a pair of 240GB Intel 535 SSDs(2.5" drives) for games. One is close to 190GB full. On the se226xt...

    Question How do I get my hard wired ethernet working during clean install of Win11 Home?

    Title is basically it. I am doing a fresh install of Win11 Home on my new computer(12100F + AS Rock MB). I get to the "Let's connect you to a network" and the only option it is giving me is for wireless. To put it bluntly, monkeys will be flying out my rear before I let a desktop go wireless...

    Question Help me flesh out a 12100F build

    Quick partial update. I ordered a se226xt cooler and Amazon "jerked" me around with shipping it. It arrived and it was ~1/2" too tall for my case :eek: To add insult to injury, it was missing the Intel brackets. Basically a wasted week waiting for it so I could finally fire up a light gaming...

    What if any D&D games are available?

    Title basically states it. I'm looking for modern made D&D based game. I liked the old 90s D&D games and was hoping to find new versions to try out. I know I can get ported 90s but I'm wanting something more modern with nicer graphics. I liked Shadowrun Returns, Battletech, and Warhammer...

    Question Is more memory sticks or bigger memory sticks better for 32GB?

    I thought the question was generic enough not to provide full details(ddr4 or timing):confused_old: I gave some thought to ddr5 but some extra reading basically told me not worth extra money for a non-over clocking CPU. For memory specifically, I was looking at G.Skill brand 3200 CL16. In the...

    Question Is more memory sticks or bigger memory sticks better for 32GB?

    Short: assuming 32GB total memory with same timing/speed, is 1 stick of 32GB, 2 sticks of 16GB, or 4 sticks of 8GB better for the computer performance? I am building a light gaming computer that I am trying to finish fleshing out and I'm scratching my head on the memory. It is going to be a i3...

    Question Might be buying an Intel "F" CPU

    I thought that the iGPU had quicksync and other video type functionality(h264???) integrated in it. Thus no iGPU, no quicksync, etc. But I haven't done any real research into it and I'm relying upon old/stale knowledge. My question on power is related to whether the iGPU pulls overhead away...

    Question Might be buying an Intel "F" CPU

    I'll piggy back on this since I'm looking at 12100f. Does things like Handbrake suffer from lack of IGpu(Quicksync??)? Is there a lack of Watts by not going with IGpu? Basically, aside from the 'lack of diagnostic capability', is there any real downfall?

    Question Help me flesh out a 12100F build

    Well, shoot... non-sale price doesn't work. Wish I could have jumped on it last night :confused_old: Any reason not to go with G.Skill Aegis Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-25600 DDR4 3200 CL16-18-18-38 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08175L812

    Question Help me flesh out a 12100F build

    Pulling your build list over here: PC Builder - Intel Core i3-12100, Radeon RX 6400, Fractal Design Focus 2 ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker What made you suggest the ASRock Z690 Steel Legend ATX... the price works for me. Also, I'm not familiar with PNY brand memory. Are they reliable?

    Question Help me flesh out a 12100F build

    Question What "cheap" current processor/MB should I be looking at for "gaming light"?

    I got a used 1050ti on the way. I'm hoping before end of month to get rest of system. Would going with: Gigabyte Z690I AORUS ULTRA LITE Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-4800 CL40 Memory be a good setup for a 12100F? The MB and memory wouldn't add to much in cost over a B660 MB and...
