  1. Hello, I feel really dumb but i can't find a thunderbolt to sata cable anywhere, do they make them? i have a 2013 macbook air so i dont have usb type c and I want to be able to plug an ssd for external video storage.
  2. So, im still rocking my old iphone 6s and i have a crack in the corner of the screen and i decided to replace the screen. I have replaced half a dozen or so screens before so its not new to me. However, after i replace the screen, nothing shows on it. I tried puttting the old screen back on and nothing happened. It acts like it turns on cause i can tell because it vibrates when plugging into the charger. HOWEVER, when i plug it into a computer it vibrates super weakly like ive never felt before and it isnt detected by the computer. I tried looking at the connections but i havent been able to get it to work. Is my phone completely screwed? is there anyway i can get my data off of it? Is there any recommendation of where i could take it or who i could contact? Thank u for any help, i really would like my phone back, this sucks.
  3. Yeah I don't need necessarily the latest and greatest, seemed like a quality unit and its fully modular and it's not like it's used so I thought it was a good idea to snag it up.
  4. lol just saw a killer deal on ebay for a brand new EVGA 750w 80+_Gold Fully Modular Power Supply, so i just ordered one, so now i should never have to worry about my PSU
  5. So, I was wondering as the title says. I have an EVGA 500 BR power supply, which seems to be good quality. Currently I have a 3770s and a GTX 1070 and is obviously fine, but I don't know if I upgrade to a 3770k and overclock it, if that would be pushing the edge and wouldn't be enough power. Thanks for any replies.
  6. I sit closer to my monitor then most people so, honestly 24 inches is the perfect size. I ended up going with the lenovo monitor. It looks great and the pixel density is fantastic. Feels worlds sharper than my 1080p monitor
  7. I'm looking to upgrade my monitor, and I'm struggling which one I should get. I've only so much money I'm willing to spend, but I've found two monitor within my price range. However, I don't which one I would enjoy more. I do play competitive games like rocket league and overwatch, so I would feel as though the 1ms response time and 144hz would be super nice. But at the same time, I would really like a little higher res than 1080p, but the 1440p monitor i found in my price range has a 6ms response time. It is also an IPS monitor so it has way better colors. I currently am running a 21 inch 1080p Ips monitor that has served me well, but I would like an upgrade. These are the two monitors. https://www.microcenter.com/product/482600/l24q-20-238-wqhd-75hz-hdmi-dp-led-monitor https://www.microcenter.com/product/513781/g2460fq-24-full-hd-144hz-dvi-hdmi-dp-gaming-led-monitor
  8. So, recently I resurrected my old pc with a 3770s paired with a gtx 1070. I got a good deal for the 3770s, and I didn't think it would bottleneck my gtx 1070, but I noticed it does in some games. Now, I'm looking at upgrading to a 3770k and I was wondering if a 500w psu would be sufficient.
  9. trust me u will notice a huge difference between 60 hz and 144 hz i personally use a 1080p 60hz monitor at 21 inches and I find the screen size perfect for me since I sit close to my screen, and the pixel density is slightly less than a 27 inch 1440p monitor so it's not bad. If u play most fps I would say get the 144hz but if I were u I would try and see both in person at a retail store like Best Buy or something.
  10. I have a MacBook air 13 from 2014 and i love it. I am originally a PC user and i have a gaming desktop, but MacBooks have amazing keyboards, battery life, and build quality. I love both pcs and macs, but U have to admit apple knows how to make a laptop. Plus, i know that it isn't on the new MacBook pro but the MagSafe power connector is awesome. Basically to get a pc of equal build quality and power u end up essentially paying close to the same price.
  11. ok i would prefer one that supports 60 hz but i dunno if its worth the $10 extra bucks....... i dont wanna be a console scrub
  12. so this cable would work fine right? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YONKZ72/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1RI0YHZ8J2HZU
