  1. Yeah the electrical in our house is real screwy, my sister can't plug a hairdryer into the bathroom we share without knocking out power in most of the upstairs (100 year old houses suck). We have breakers, but I don't think they were put in by a professional.
  2. The frist looks like it will kill the connection to to the nonactive device, less idea because that means my PS4 can't download updates instuff while it is in sleep mode but might be an option if it is the only option I have. The second would be great if had an extra outlet for it ?
  3. I already have a pretty big power strip (10 outlet) and it full with the other outlet on the wall. So for PoE would just need an injector on the modem/router side and then a switch the use PoE?
  4. So about 2 years ago I ran a ethernet cable to my room due to my metal loft bed causing issues with wifi (my house is so old we do not have ethernet in the walls) and it works great for my computer I have been doing more stuff on my PS4 as well and my cable is not quite long enough to reach it. I am thinking about putting a network switch but I don't have an extra power outlet for it in my room, I know Power of Ethernet it a thing but I don't know it need a special modem/ router for it or do they make network switches then are low power enough that I would power it off the USB port on my TV. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. *I have a modem/router combo unit, it is a Netgear C6300

  6. just pc, I will use the peripherals I have, and I can get a windows key free though the Microsoft Imagine my collage is enrolled in
  7. So I am thinking with a Ryzen 7 1700x system mainly because I now host and stream some podcasts to Twitch and sometimes I have to stream gameplay footage and I want to make sure I have power to make sure that goes smoothly on more demanding games. The big question, do AM4 broads support "Stereo Mix"? I use that to pipe the show music and other audio into the Skype call to keep everything in sync. Any recommendations for a mid tower ATX case that I could use my H80i v2 AIO liquid cooler (will be getting the AM4 bracket for it soon-ish), blu-ray drive, an SD card reader, and some front USB ports are would be nice (2.0 would be fine they are just for controllers and my USB headset). I would prefer a green case is at all possible. How are the reliability of SSDs now? When I was building this computer I was looking in them but they where too small and too expensive and I also heard they would wear out after after about 5 or so years at best. Also, should I get one big SSD or 2 smaller SSDs in RAID 0 and back them up periodicity it one of my HDD I already have?
  8. I would take either, I really need something better than my old Compaq laptop for about 2007
  9. Some cable providers (like mine) will only allow basic cable if you are lucky, so if a cable box would still be needed for any premium channels

    Windows Help!

    Yeah only reason I had to get a new key was because I had to reformat Windows and I could not find my original key

    Windows Help!

    1 if you call Microsoft and talk to someone they can reset so it will activate on the new board 2 you can get a new key on a site like http://www.kinguin.net/ (I got my new Win10 pro key for less than $40 USD)

    yeah what Samppa221 said. If they ask why, just tell them you had to replace you motherboard they don't need to know it is an upgrade
  13. I use a Corsair h80 and it keeps my core unlocked Phenom II to about 45c under load
