I think you’ll enjoy this. This week I started putting my PC in sleep mode instead of locking it like an idiot. I know because I come back and I won’t wake up. So today my wife and I go out and smart me uses WIN+L to lock it instead of clicking the wrong button.

I’m offering my engineering services for $50/hour. I got my degree at Mars University, graduated year 2069.

I’ve had a Razer Blackwidow Stealth for a good while now, but the day has finally come: it’s dead. Like, dead-dead.

I recently bought 16GB (2x8GB) of 3000 MHz DDR4 RAM second hand for my server so that I could swap out the 32GB (2x16GB) of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM and put them into my new gaming rig.

I’ve been a long time Linux user on laptops, but this will be my first time putting hardware together and running a dedicated gaming rig on Arch. I’m aiming for a high end 1440p ultra wide gaming experience and some light Davinci Resolve work. Want to make sure I haven’t made any “first timer” mistakes with compatibility or bottlenecks.

Around six months ago (and luckily before the whole ram shortage) I managed to scrounge up enough money to build this monstrosity of a machine, based on what I thought was a lenovo thinkcentre m700… More on that further down.

My cousin had encountered issues where his PC would ask to choose an OS to boot into which was strange as I only installed windows 11 into it. From there it began to not detect any bootable devices.

I’ve been rocking 3, 40inch 1080p 60hz Best Buy insignia TV’s, for about three years now. I bought them because I was heavy into Online racing. And they also worked nicely with with the other game I love Arma 3.

I need some advice: I have a system that refuses to run without memory errors and the resulting file corruption has forced me to start replacing components until I get the advertised/expected performance. In this case, the DDR4-3600 (CL18) RAM I purchased cannot get through Memtest86 (Test7) without a ton of address errors.

With AI seeming to consume all resources for hardware, I’m wondering what parts of those current systems we could see trickling down into componentry for desktop PC’s as they get outdated for AI tasks.

Anyone know if possible and where to buy CXMT DDR5 RAM? There’s a bit of news about it considering the rampocalypse going on at the moment and I’m curious.

I’ve been searching for a software (for windows 10 for work/home, soon to be Linux mint for home) that can emulate the right click gestures extensions found on browsers.

Hey guys a few weeks back I posted this post: https://lemdro.id/post/32878167. I have an update, with a help of a friend we upgraded my motherboard to a mb550 and upgraded my cpu to. Ryzen 7 5800XT from an intel i5 8600k. All my RAM is operating fine. So we assumed the RAM started to fail or the motherboard was dying. Glad I didn’t have to buy a full kit of ram. I’m going to be rocking my DDR4 2666 mhz until the end of time. Thanks for everyone’s help from the previous post!

I heard the DRAM shortage has started affecting PC sales, and I would think that it would be hurting Intel’s bottom line.

Hi!

It’s been an honor being apart of the PC Master Race for the last 9 years. Unfortunately my Ram decided to die when the market is too expensive. Troubleshooted all 4 RAM sticks, they are dead. I’ve been meaning to update my 2666 DDR4 but never got to it. Paying for my lazy consequences. It’s been a fun ride. Don’t know what I’ll do with my spare time. I’ll still be a lurker. Learn from my mistakes, upgrade/update when you can. Milk signing out. ✌️

This only makes sense if you have an iGPU, but hear me out.

So I decided to use the Ryzen 5 3600 and RX580 I upgraded from a year ago in a homelab build.

I currently use my laptop next to a monitor with 21” but I am thinking about an upgrade. I casually play some light games, nothing competitive. The rest is a lot of reading, office or coding work and some multimedia.

It has been forever since I built/bought a PC/Laptop and now I was asked to suggest a laptop with an iGPU for casual light gaming (if possible refurbished).

Hey all,

Hiya, folks! Over this year, I got a huge interest in VR, and I’m planning on purchasing a VR headset and a FBT setup. I’d say I’ve done a fair bit of research and I’ve landed on the following two combinations:

My 1440p monitor died on me so I’m looking to upgrade to a 4K monitor, to be used with my home+work laptops, some older game consoles and an aging Linux PC.

Hello,

Hey guys,

Hi, in my current PC i have an RX 580 8gb, Ryzen 5 2600 and 32gb of RAM 3000mhz CL 16 (its 3200mhz but i had stability issues and had to put them at 3000).

Hi,

Hello guys I currently have a 55-inch TV as my monitor I think it’s worth around $500 1080p 60hz nothing crazy, I need a good monitor with 120hz at least and preferably 1440p and OLED, would like it to be bigger than 30 inches but may have to compromise on the size if I want a good one

I am going to be upgrading my graphics card soon. and the ones in my price range are the above mentioned. Which do you think I should get.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.

I finally started the move over to Linux, and installed a dual boot system. So far liking it, except for 1 or 2 things. The big one is the process of dual booting.

I’m looking to get a new keyboard since my current board (Cooler Master K653) is in rough shape, spilled some coffee on it a while back and it’s started to not register inputs randomly and sometimes doubletyping instead.

I dual boot Fedora and Windows with Windows being the gaming OS

My #1 priority is actually idle power usage. Efficiency on load is irrelevant. 99% of the time, it will be idle or web browsing. With low idle power, good Linux support (especially for decoding) and efficiency cores for light usage, I heavily lean on Intel. I don’t mind if it is inefficient on-load.

Hi guys, a friend of fine asked if i could make him a build for his new pc, something small so he can move it around easily and not expensive, so he could have a work pc on which he could play some games (he usually play not demanding games like cs2, but he may play some heavier games from time to time) Im super out of the loop for pc’s since i build mine 6 years ago some im asking some advice. I’d tend to to go with AMD both for CPU and GPU, but im open to any advice. Thank you very much!

I built a PC for my friend and I am at my wit’s end in trying to figure out why the wifi isn’t working well on his PC. MB: Z87-G45 GAMING OS: windows 11 RAM: don’t recall brand, but I think it has 16gb Old Wifi Adaptor: FV-AC2030T (I don’t have the part information for the new wifi adaptor that we bought within the last month) GPU: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger

I noticed my D: drive was marked as dirty and some folders were coming up as corrupted, so I recovered as much data as possible, and then scheduled a chkdsk /r /f on next restart, and I’ve been here since Thursday (it progressed a bit throughout Wednesday):

The USB onboard controller on my ASUS Crosshair VI seems to have busted on me. That being said, it would seem I’m now in the market for a new MB.

i managed to build my first proper pc in the most hacky way, and it works wonderfully(the one of the previous post).

after finally having some free time between exams and work, and enough money to build it. i decided to assemble a decent pc, both for interference and general usage. due to limited budget i chose to pick up a refurbished thinkcenter m700 and a 12GB 3060. the problem? the thinkcenter is an sff pc. so it would have never fit the card, plus due to using a proprietary psu i couldn’t upgrade it to something that could run the card.
