  1. thanks both of you for confirming my suspicions, google is useless since the whole first page of results is just you need this, 100% even with added question context. As far as trying the simple re-terminating fix I did try that but no dice. Another snag here is that the electrician that installed the ethernet run (as a part of a whole hanging a new TV and having those cables hidden in the wall thing) used 2 cables with a coupler so who knows if the 2 other terminations are actually correct or matching or what. My mom really knows how to pick the good contractors . Again everything is kind of working against us here, I could just get some raceways to hide a new ethernet run (the tv and router are max 15 feet apart) but there is a fireplace between the router and the tv is so it's not as nice as hiding it along normal floor molding. The MoCA solution seems to be the only one that doesn't affect looks or anything and isn't annoying like having to cut up the new ceiling to fix it the way I would ideally want to
  2. Question: Do I need a MoCA filter using this setup? Can MoCA escape through the ethernet connected to the first MoCA adapter and out the ISP coax through my router? Long story short we just had our basement finished and the guy didn't do what he was supposed to; we found out our original ethernet run in the basement ceiling to the living room TV area had some sort of faulty wiring and could only get 10 Mbps on the other side if it worked at all (it was only connected to a pc we don't use often so either no one noticed or his crew broke something or idk, whatever it doesn't work now). He didn't fix this like we asked and has ghosted us for a while now on other stuff he left unfinished/never followed up on. There's no real way to fix or even rerun new cable without cutting up some brand new ceiling, but instead of directly using the ethernet I was thinking we could use the existing coax that was run for a cable box (that we don't have anymore) via MoCA to get wired internet back to the entertainment center. So going back to the question, do I need a MoCA filter (which I'm 90% sure we don't have, there's an attenuator but no PoE filter, and I heard can cause loss of performance) for this isolated coax cable run that will only be doing this one thing and has no connection to the outside other than the ethernet connection to the router? If it matters at all we have Xfinity internet that directly goes into our Netgear C7800 router/modem no splitters, nothing.
  3. this. as much as I like the shorter videos they do for these (as opposed to jay, paul, kyle) this is infuriating, don't talk about how great thermal performance without showing what you used and how it differed from the 9th gen stuff and even the ryzen stuff, crazy that they would exclude that information Edit: same thing with power draw, show me what the others are doing too, compare things if you are going to compare
  4. So im in the middle of building a new pc and am going to be getting a GTX 1080 but my monitor only has a display port 1.2 input while the 1080 has dp 1.4 output. I tried reading the FAQ's but i just want some clarification since this exact situation isn't really touched on (if it is just tell me im stupid/lazy) My questions are kind of connected: 1) will this cause any sorts of problems (im planing on running 1920x1080@144hz) 2) does the kind of cable i have matter? ones like the Amazon basics say they are 1.2 compliant while ones like the iVanky say they are 1.4 compliant. should i get a 1.4 compliant for the best future proof, or would the 1.2 input port not be able to handle a 1.4 feature/specification? A new monitor isn't out of the question its just not a thing i want to invest in since my current one is still pretty new (to me) and works well.
  5. i am currently running a 970 but would love a new card for either myself or a friend that is trying to get into pc gaming.
  6. i would love a kiro since my Ttesports commander mouse just broke and i'm using my ibuypower one now.
  7. the headset looks really nice and i love the keyboard, simplistic but good looking.
  8. thank you for the help, I will have to pick up a dp cable. also I can't and probably wouldn't change my mind on the 970, I know I can trust NVidia due to old computers and what not and I know that amd has problems and would rather not deal with that.
  9. ​I am getting a new computer that has a GTX 970​​ and I'm planning on getting an Asus VG248QE (144hz 1080p is what I want to play at) should I use hdmi or displayport. I am a noob and I was confused so I just want to know what would be best for my set up.
