I would greatly appreciate some recommendations for a surveillance camera to put in my backyard, which ticks the following requirements: has its own battery, with good autonomy (~8 hours), no external power source required has good night vision capabilities can record on SD card (or internal storage alternatively) at 720p and higher, at 30fps at least It's important that the camera is highly autonomous and can also withstand outside weather. Discreet dimensions and appearance would be a plus. WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity is not essential.

I wouldn't say they don't work, it's just that i noticed some latency in my system, a problem similar to this one, so i thought IRQ conflicts might be an explanation.

I have spotted some resource conflicts, including an IRQ conflict, on my Windows 10 HP laptop while looking into System Information. Is there a way to fix them and should i be concerned? I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers participating in the IRQ conflicts (16 and 94 respectively), however they get assigned the same IRQs and i can't change them. My laptop has some occasional input lag and i was wondering if resource conflicts could be the cause.

I'm looking for an eBook reader with LCD screen and support for PDF files. I don't care about tablet characteristics as long as it's capable of displaying eBooks and PDFs perfectly and smoothly. Can you please recommend me such a device? I already know about Kindle Fire, which could be a good fit for my needs, but unfortunately it's not sold in my country, so i'd like to see some alternatives.

I think i'll go with option 3, buy a new liquid cooler for my CPU. It's pretty difficult to come by Swiftech components where i live, so i'll probably buy a brand new Corsair cooler.

I checked the CPU temps in BIOS while this happens, they are definitely rising to 90 degrees and more, so it's not an issue with the motherboard. It's an ASUS Rampage V Extreme, by the way.

I purchased a Swiftech H240-X liquid cooler for my CPU in 2015, and apart from a few issues related to fan speed control it's been working pretty well. Starting a few months ago, however, every 1 computer start-up out of about 8-10 fails with a CPU fan error. This is because the coolant in the loop does not seem to be running. If i shake and turn my computer case for a few minutes, then it usually starts working again and the CPU is cooled properly. I can't tell for sure what causes the failure in the first place, whether it's the pump or the coolant. I didn't notice any spills or impurities in the liquid that might block its flow, so i'm not convinced it's time for a refill. When at rest, the liquid level - although a bit lower then it was at the beginning if i recall well - is still between the min and max markers on the chamber near the pump. Can you please advise on how i should fix this problem for good?

Indeed, I was starting to fear that after recently purchasing the headset which many reviews proclaimed as the best on the market - Plantronics Voyager Focus - just to realize the mic pales in comparison with a much cheaper wired Microsoft headset. I will do some research on your recommendation, Hyper X Cloud Flight, and one of its direct competitor models I read about, Steelseries Arctis 7. Thanks!

This modmic you're suggesting is only wired, so it's not really what i'm looking for.

I'm looking for a wireless headphone with the best microphone when it comes to transmitting voice. This is the main factor. I'm not looking for audiophile-level headphones, although good sound quality is of course welcome. I will be using them for work, in the office, paired to the PC. I also want them to be over or on the ears, no earbuds. My budget is somewhere around 200-250$ max. I've already tried Plantronics Voyager Focus but I'm not satisfied at all with the microphone quality. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, i checked and it's still in warranty until September. I guess i'll open an RMA request and see if they indeed identify this as a pump problem. Thanks!

I see, so it seems that my best option is to RMA the card, right? No point in fiddling around with that pump, it looks custom anyway and not easily replaceable.

@Skiiwee29 even so, how can the temps rise to 90C if the GPU load is almost 0? Besides, there is also the other fan that should at least work as a backup.

@Morgan MLGman i can't say for sure, the other fan (it's a hybrid card, liquid + air cooling) is working at 100%, and everything becomes quite noisy.

I have an Evga GeForce 980Ti Hybrid graphics card and it worked smoothly for the past 3 years. Starting yesterday, i'm having a weird problem with it. After some minutes of system uptime, the GPU temperature suddenly spikes to 90-91 Celsius degrees in the course of about 1 minute, and the fan ramps up to full speed. This happens quite sudden, there is no significant spike in GPU load to explain this, it happens even while not gaming. Worse, the coolers are unable to bring the temp down to 30-40C as it was before. Even if i restart the computer, the GPU is still not cooled, i have to wait until it cools down naturally. I replaced the thermal paste and cleaned the dust in the graphics board, without success. I don't think the sensors are wrong, because the board feels very hot when i touch it. I am running the latest GeForce driver (397.31) on Windows 10 Pro x64. What could cause this? Is it a hardware failure on the graphics board?
