Embattled

Didn't think I would see another Kino fan here, not a vinyl guy but it would be cool to have an OG record from them.

Its a TZ 400W and no official documentation that I looked at mentions what the connection types are

Don't think it matches up, these are threaded

Hey guys I'm trying to hook up our router to our existing outdoor antenna setup but I have hit a snag regarding identifying the type of connector on the router. The router side connector I haven't been able to identify, I initially thought it was an N type connector but after I ordered an adapter it became evident that it wasn't and this connection is smaller. The other connector I'm pretty sure is an RP-SMA male connector meaning half of the adapter has to be RP-SMA female. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I recently did a fan replacement on my 6 year old 290x with fans that were marketed as replacements for my particular card and appeared to be physically identical sans the MSI logo sticker. The fans spin up just fine and I have a normal idle of 60C. The only issue is after the replacement there are now 2 blue LEDs on the cards PCB that have lit up that I had no idea where even there in the first place. There is no option in graphics cards app to disable them and googling the issue for 20 minutes has revealed no answer. Any suggestions on what the LEDs indicate and how to turn them off would be greatly appriciated.

Any idea what "access blocked content" actually means in their sub tiering?

Hi guys I have been using PIA VPN for a few years now but I'm rethinking my continued use of them now that my subscription is up and it's time to renew. I vaguely remember hearing that PIA's ownership changed and for the worse too so I wanted to start a conversation about what the community thinks is the best paid VPN service the balances performance, security, and cost.

The issue is the vast majority of the business projectors aren't 1080 and usually dont have good contrast either. I don't want to buy a used projector that will leave me wanting in terms of image quality or brightness.

Ill definitely keep this one in mind if I ever need a portable one but I was looking for a projector that has a better contrast ratio and a lumen count high enough that it's listed upfront.

Hi guys, I'm tired of borrowing my friends projector when we want to chill in the spa and watch movies so I am looking for recommendations or advice about what to look for when trying to buy a projector for semi frequent set up outdoors. It will primarily be used to watch movies during the evening/night on a medium sized screen but my family has also expressed interest in using a projector that needs a larger throw range for when we have parties and want to display pictures, videos, etc. Budget is around $500-$800. EDIT: I went outside and measured the maximum distance it will be used at which is around 32 feet.

I have honestly never seen wireless charging actually being used. I would love a headphone jack and it used to be a dealbreaker for me but I guess I decided I could live with it.

It's a thinkpad

I'm still really bummed about this. Motorola was one of my favorite phone manufacturers.

You still have to pay for the AIO though. Additionally it adds cost in the form of shipping, RnD (or more likely contracting), and again not everyone wants an 120mm AiO as their cooling solution. Of course they are going to have an AiOless SKU which renders my griping pointless. There is a reason though that intel doesn't include even the basic stock cooler with their high end CPUs.

I also don't see how a 120 rad is going to fit in there unless they have some pretty flexible tubing. At the same time I can't say why else the packaging would be so large aside from aesthetics and wow factor.

I know at this tier of CPU price becomes less of a factor, but also at this price point wouldn't most people want to buy their own cooling solution.

I really hope the 120mm AIO rumors are untrue if they are not going to sell a version without the cooler (which I am sure they will).

Hi guys, I have had a 290x hooked up to an awful 900p HP monitor for a while now and have recently been thinking about upgrading to a higher resolution one. My main criteria where 1080p or 1440p, 144hz, and freesync. It seems this monitor on Massdrop seems to fulfill all of those a decent price. Any reason not to buy it or are there any better panels for about the same price? Thanks in advance.

Darn seems out of stock everywhere but Ill keep looking for it.

Seems right up my ally, have you had any issues with it at all?

Using an S340 Love the case but miss that 5.25 sometimes.

Hey guys I have been working with a lot of HDD/SDDs recently and have needed to do quite a few clones/linux installs/general drive reading and I have really wanted a SATA to USB dock with preferably 2 slots so I dont have to open up my rig and pull sata cables out. What are some quality ones that I can have sitting on my desk but wont run me more than $75? USB 3.0 is pretty much a need here. Thanks in advance.

Ok so right now I am trying to decide between the Ausus DG and the Sound Blaster Rx. Both are about the same price. What I really want is good audio (duh), virtual surround for gaming, and no nonesense drivers. Out of this two which would fit my use case better? EDIT: It looks like the newegg reviews for the Rx aren't that great... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102063&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Ok I'll look them through and consider each. I am leaning toward the SoundBlaster one right now.
