While reading reviews for the i5-14500 I came across many who said it ran hot with stock cooler, and one review which seemed to maybe shed some light as to why so wanted to ask it this is true; below is from the review in question stating motherboards are overvolting the CPU:
"This is a great...
Realtek has control center software that enables the surround system settings to digital output, but wondering, given the age of my Sony Dream System is its audio superior to that of the HTPC's onboard Realtek audio which would connect to receiver by 3.5 line out to dual rca?
The price between the two is practically the same and the GIGABYTE B760I AORUS PRO says support for 6000 OC. But the 15-14500 is DDR5 4800.
The CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB Timing 36-44-44-96. Latency 36 for the 6000.
Are there any downsides to using 6000 instead of 4800?
Support for DDR5...
This will be my first SSD, going into an itx motherboard so build will be tight and while I really want to try out an SSD I'd rather not have to take it apart to replace a failed drive if possible.
The mobo has a couple M2 2280 (only going to use 1 for OS) so am interested in trying it but am...
I was ready to buy an i3-14100 as I don't really game (would like the option to) but am wondering if going with an i5-14500 or even a i5-14600 would be worthwhile. I see the i-5 has 770 graphics over the i3 730 (I may add a graphics card but not sure yet.) Do you think the i3 is a solid cpu for...
I'm not overclocking or anything but prefer having an spdif output. I see the ASRock Z790M-ITX has a lot more reviews than the GIGABYTE B760I AORUS PRO. I don't see much difference in the two. The Gigabyte is $40 cheaper so there's that. Is one a better choice than the other?
Edit: My last itx...
My connection is 100mbps and both computers are within 15ft of the router--one is on the other side of the wall from the router, but is hollow interior wall. I only do basic stuff like browsing the internet, some 1080p streaming, no intensive gaming. All the routers I'm seeing are overkill for...
I see many student laptops in the $100-$200 range; which one/s do you think are best value for the price--staying under $200 and closer to $100 as possible--for younger child so doesn't need any fancy features, just be able to browse internet, etc; basic stuff.
Am not heavy gamer; built an HTPC right before GPU shortage so wasn't able to put one in; was going to get the EVGA GTX 1650 Super, and that's still a fine card for my 1080p setup, would've liked an RTX card but they seem to take up more than 2 slots. Just looking for a durable card, no coil...
I should've specified, by distance I just meant while sitting back in computer chair, not having to lean forward to be heard, and by different directions, side to side not have to be directly in front of mic. The current one looks omnidirectional but really the mic is just at the end. Had a 10ft...
I considered that when looking for the headphones but wasn't using voice chat then, and even now most of the time still isn't so the boom mic would just be in the way, I figured. I have a 3yr warranty on the headphones. What I'm wondering is in this budget range is there any advantage using a...
Current one has to be spoken directly at it--and pretty close up as well. Looking for one that will pick up voice clearly while on desk and at different directions. Budget <$25; is for child so durability a must and good with picking higher (treble?) as child's voice is higher end.
It's running Win10; looks like it'll only run up to version 1.16. I guess HD2000 only had opengl 3.1 and the newer mc java installations need 3.2 or higher; runs 1.19 on an i3-34XX with HD2500.
I've tried using the update troubleshooter, dism, manually updating etc but it still doesn't work. Is anyone else having this issue, know how to get it to update successfully?
I reinstalled windows, deleted the nvidia driver from app (still shows a driver in device manager.) How important for gaming (is kid's pc, mostly roblox, some light steam games etc) is that Geforce Game Ready Driver (oh, and I did get the latest to download but it wouldn't install, maybe is too...
My child's XPS 8300 PSU finally died & according to someone over at Dell forums the PSU needs to have a min of 142W combined on the 3.3v/5v rails (I have a CX650 that is 130W combined?) They suggest an EVGA 850BQ which does have 160W combined (also the 700BR which has 150W but I can get the...
I don't have the product key; was going to do a clean install; but if there may be an issue I suppose can clone drive over instead. Do you think after install signing in with microsoft acc't will work ok?
Internet speed is 40mbps, speed tests show the max speed, but when I go to load a webpage is slow and there's often lag while scrolling down. In new pc I built last year: Asus Rog Strix B460 I Gaming mobo, i3-10100cpu, CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz C16 LED Desktop & Seagate...
Yeah, I've tried emailing for details of warranty and cable used etc, will give them a call. In the meantime I've found these cables: Custom Cables Headphone Cable Made from Mogami W2549 & Neutrik Connectors | Performance Audio I think that setup would be unbalanced. Seem beefy at 22awg; don't...
20-30ft max, and yes it's for those headphones; they actually have very good sound, decent drivers; main thing it cames down to was that they fit his head and had some better components than others that were kid sized. Not just for watching movies in bed now. Am moving, mom wants to put the...
Just looking for durable--long--audio cable, and it's seeming that ones for music performance are fitting that and their balanced, so was wondering if using an adapter would affect them (and is it even going to matter if they are balanced or not if just for home audio headphones to pc?)
It has a drop down menu for different "things" like the 802.11a/b/g has a drop down next to it to choose an option for it. Then below it is another 802.11n ac/ax with drop menu for it's options which is set to 802.11 AX. And then below that are continuing other options for different things...
The wifi is part of my Asus Rog Strix Gaming Mobo AX200, but is currently set at 802.11a/b/g. Would it be better to switch it to 802.11/n/ac/ax? My internet speed is 40mbps.
(EDIT: I think was not understanding, when going into network settings the first one is the 802.11a/b/g and is highlighted...
Is this: MSI Global - The Leading Brand in High-end Gaming & Professional Creation
I did just now install Afterburner but being GPU noob don't know what to do with it; I liked the idea of the gaming app because it gives general settings to apply. But I will learn what to do with the settings in...
Oh my, I've actually been going back and forth whether to use a usb wifi dongle (has extender antenna as well) both it and the internal run pretty much the same speeds. I was thinking the internal would be better for long term as the pc gets used pretty much all day, streaming, light gaming etc...
Is on old PC so resource usage an issue. If is good to use, how to install it, link on MSI site is dead. Have box but in process of moving so is packed somewhere--or maybe gone:unamused: I see 3rd party site offering it but seems sketchy that way. Any suggestions where to download it safely, if...
There is no place for a wired connection where it's at, but wifi router is not far away, I'd say less than 30' max. The wifi card has an extender of sorts, is this one. My concern is that it's right below the GPU, wonder if over time that heat might fry the wifi card. The card does have a...
The card is a 1050ti that takes up 2 slots and the fans blow downwards so the next available slot is right under it; the card has a heatsink that faces downwards. Doesn't get a lot of heavy gaming, is it going to be ok there? I could put it in the last 1x slot but will have to remove one of the...
