  1. Personally, I'd say yes. I use mine for my older games and to back up my movies and music. Drivers are mostly a non-issue since most network drivers are built into the OS and you can download the rest. Drivers on disk are often obsolete anyway. They don't take up much space and they don't cost much, so in my opinion it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
  2. COD after/during Cold War Heroes of Might and Magic after IV THPS after Underground 2 Need for Speed after Most Wanted (2005) Battlefield after 4 World of Warcraft after Battle for Azeroth (Still bought the Dragonflight collectors edition but didn't play) Counterstrike after Source I know I'm missing some but those are the first that came to mind.
  3. Most NA stores don't charge import taxes and handling fees upfront for international orders. I've ordered from lttstore.com a few times and always had to pay import tax and handling fees seperatly directly to the customs or post office. Also it's hard to say how much you'll have to pay in the end because different countries have different tax rates for different things. Also also some post offices charge extra to get your package from customs and deliver it directly to you. Those fees can change at any time and stores have no easy way to find out and account for all of that.
  4. You could also align the connectors and fixate them with a bit of tape or cable ties so it's easier to push them in to the socket. I'd reccomend cable ties because they are easier to remove once the connector is installed. I've used super glue in the past too, but it's better to use a less permanent solution. Worst case a little bit of glue leaks out and your connector and socket are fused forever.
  5. Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Gothic 1 and 2, World of Warcraft Legion, Vampire Survivors and Dishonored.
  6. 3.5" Drives need an additional 12V power source to work because USB alone isn't enough. Could be an issue when you are traveling and don't have a power outlet nearby. The hard drive wouldn't fully utilize the 10Gbit connection either. I think it would be best to go for pure NVMe storage. They are lighter, not as easily damaged by drops and faster than HDDs. The only thing that makes HDDs better is price per GB. If you NEED 20TB of storage go for the HDD, if 4-8TB are enough go nvme or at least 2.5" SSD. Also yes, it should be plug 'n play and show up as removable storage not matter the drive you put in there.
  7. Some anti-malware programs flag WinZip software as malware or potentially unwanted programs. For example, Malwarebytes detects WinZip Malware Protector as a "Fake Computer Cleaner". Not surprising with all the ads and fake warnings that pop up when winzip is installed.
  8. The 2 oldest CPUs I still have after throwing away the rest of my collection. Intel Pentium P54CS 150MHz AMD Athlon A1000AMT3B I think the AMD is broken since the Silicon has a few cracks on the sides but I don't have a motherboard to test it. Currently they just serve as display items to showcase what CPUs looked like 30 years ago and how the design has changed over the years.
  9. I've never heard of Dahua but on paper it looks good. More and better connectivity than the Huawei or Gigabyte but I can't find any reviews for things like picture quality or backlight bleeding. Could be worth a try if you can send it back without paying a fee in case it doesn't perform well.
  10. Then go for the M27Q. You can find an in-depth review of the monitor here For the price, it's difficult to find anything better, especially if you live in a country where availability may be limited.
  11. I'd go for the M27Q. You could also take a look at the Dell G2724D or the LG 27GR83Q-B. I think both are better than the M27Q if they are in your price range.
  12. The first things I'd do are: Update all drivers and software including your BIOS Check temps with HWMonitor Check your RAM with Memtest86+ Do a fresh install of your GPU driver. Use DDU for a clean uninstall. Disable XMP/DOCP in your BIOS Swap your PSU with a known good one. 500W should be enough for your system.
  13. I would go for a smaller nvme for proxmox and maybe RAID1 the SSDs for virtualization. But keep in mind my proxmox is 8 years old and running just openvpn on debian and windows xp so take my advice with a grain of salt
  14. I don't think that's too relevant in this case. They use Noctua coolers with their SecuFirm mounting system wich limits the maximum mounting pressure. As long as the screws are fully tightend every time there shouldn't be much if any variation.
  15. Did you overclock your system? If so maybe try resetting the BIOS by removing the battery from the mainboard for a few minutes.
