Hi All So this issue is completely random, it can happen when gaming, it can also happen when doing something very lightweight. It last happened about an hour ago when I had the log running. I'll get a blackscreen on all 3 monitors, followed by a restart after about 20 seconds. I did run a log since this morning until the issue happened, but honestly I'm not the best at interpreting the logs against which piece of hardware (if it is a hardware issue). Could anyone take a look? Many thanks! Here are my PC's specs (from my profile): CPU AMD R9 3950X Motherboard Aorus x570 Xtreme RAM 64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum CL14 3466Mhz GPU MSI Rtx 3080ti Suprim x Case Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL Storage 3x Seagate Firecuda 520 500gb NVME Gen 4 PSU Corsair HX1200 Display(s) AOC U4309V Cooling Custom hardline loop: 2x360mm Bykski thick radiators, 1x360mm Bykski slim radiator, Coolermaster SF fans HWinfo_2024-01-19.CSV

Unfortunately their hardware doesn't support any form of casting. It's a bit weird here, whilst the parents pay an arm and a leg to get their kids into the school, and it's a a good school, the facilities are quite dated.. The school spent all their money building a new campus that has everything, leaving this one feeling decidedly pre-2010..

Hi All So I teach in the mornings and do have a problem class that just doesn't concentrate well. I won't go too far into it but these kids' parents bought their way into the school. Most of my presentations are PowerPoint based and I've been using a presentation pointer which works well as it allows me to walk around the class and still teach, but functionality is limited to up and down. It does have a laser pointer but this doesn't work well on monitors. I do rely on the pointer as walking around the class, especially near the disruptive ones and engaging them does quiet them down/cause them to write. I've been adapting presentations and finding new ones that may engage with them more (more dynamic), but my simple pointer wouldn't be enough. My computer is a laptop/tablet combo (Asus ROG Z13, was on an unboxing video with Alex) and works well. I'm thinking that if I could find a good wireless type C transmitter to HDMI receiver, I could still walk around the class but be able to click on different parts of my laptop's screen (more dynamic presentations) rather than just up/down. Whilst I can find HDMI options, I'd like to keep the bulk down considering I'd be carrying it around. My laptop has 2xType C ports (not sure of the generation but I believe support TB3), I guess the best thing would be to have a Type C to HDMI adaptor and have the transmitter plugged into that, potentially a small mod to have it not dangling around too much. The type C port isn't the sturdiest in the world, so I know I'd have to be careful with it. Does anybody have any thoughts, feedback, or experience with this sort of setup? Many thanks!

Hi all So I've always had some sort of annoyance with the cable. My current cable is partially coiled but I do still get annoyed by straight ones. I won't go wireless (less weight, not having to worry about charge, responsiveness etc), and use a DAC as I do appreciate good sound. With and without the DAC I've run the cable in pretty much every route under and over the desk (including drilling holes for a clean run) with it always being in the way somehow. I've been using a Keychron Q11 for a couple of months now and really like it, having a split keyboard means I can run the cable down the middle which, I feel, has improved things immensely. It wasn't a consideration when buying the board but it was a very nice surprise. It still isn't "perfect" with my hanger being to the side, but I kind of feel that it's as close as I'll get, at least for the moment. How do the rest of you run your cable in a way that is at least satisfactory for you, or have you seen other methods you're interested in but have yet to try?

Usually with vertical mounts they're going to need something to mount to. It's likely I'd need to fab a bracket if it's for the ones I typically see. If there's one that mounts to the MOBO screws/standoffs then this shouldn't be a concern as it's standardised. Regarding the link, it was for JD, the main competitor to Taobao in China, not sure why you were getting a dodgy option but here's a picture of one of the products. Colour/size options do vary but is should help to demonstrate.

Hi All I had previously planned a custom build using aluminium extrusions but life got in the way.. I was looking at picking this up again/going for the Lian Li DK-05f but that's still a huge amount for features I don't care about/what I'm getting. I'm in China and found this alternative, it's not as nice but it's also 1/6th the price (1600mm version): https://item.jd.com/10069540491835.html#crumb-wrap Overall it'll do the job I need, but there's one issue, my GPU. The block is enormous, I made the rookie mistake of not checking the dimensions before buying and I can no longer fit the side panel on my O11DXL. I'm fairly certain that it won't fit here (I'll check) so there are 2 options using a PCIE riser. If there's a product that will allow me to put this over the MOBO (maybe using the MOBO standoffs?) this would mean minor alterations to the desk. Cut away the rear left fan mounts (keeping the screw holes) and get someone to fab a bracket to fit there that will hold a PCIE riser Option 1 would be preferable as there's be less cost due to less fab work. Does anyone know of a product that would work here? Many thanks in advance!

Hi all I'm trying to overcome my some of my ADHDness by using my phone. Previous attempts have worked okayish but I've dropped them for various reasons. I'm trying out some apps but the alarm etc doesn't work for them, just the banner notifications etc. I typically have my phone set to DND and mute to avoid distractions (also due to ADHD). Is there a concrete way to ensure sound alerts for a specific app always come through? Many thanks!

Hi all I've almost finished my quest to have the best (within reason) portable setup, to work from anywhere. I bought a portable monitor which has a touchscreen, to complement my Asus Z13 which also has a touchscreen. Picture is of the device, I didn't need 4k, 2k was preferred but there was only a £30 difference between 4k and 1080, with no 2k option so I just went with it. I have no complaints about the screen/touch functionality, but the cover/stand was obviously designed to be set on a stable surface with no touchscreen, as every press forces it closer to collapsing. Does anyone have any advice on a good, portable stand for this sort of device? Ideally very lightweight but structurally strong. Currently, the most stable way of using the case is to put the laptop upside down (so the rubber feet are in the air) and hook the smaller part of the cover under the lip at the back.

Hi All I'm struggling to find the right setup for my situation right now, and feel that due to the below circumstances, Proxmox (which I'm using and would prefer) isn't going to work. I'm living in China, so a lot of repositories are blocked such as GitHub, Bullseye etc. I'm sure there are others available but it would really eat into my time to research them, and with not being a Chinese native speaker, could be quite difficult. I'm wanting to use my 11th gen NUC (has a 256gb boot drive and an 8tb SSD) as a server for mass storage, Plex, HASS, and qbittorrent. I may run some other things like Adguard down the road but they'll be lightweight. I'm thinking of moving away from headless to a more traditional OS that can have all of the above installed, but also my VPN which I can turn on and off as needed, so I can access the repositories. Considering the above, what do you think my best course of action would be? I really wanted to keep everything headless and lightweight, but thinking a simple Ubuntu install might be best. I have looked into VPN options for my router but this isn't going to work well here. Many thanks for any feedback!

I already have a near silent full ATX build (list in my profile) using 3x360mm rads etc. Whilst space is indeed something I want to maximise, it does fit in my office. The dream is to remove all the noise and heat though. I didn't specifically mention in this thread but removing coil whine would be ideal as that can often be the loudest part of my setup. Although I've never gone with an ITX build and wouldn't for my main build until I can achieve the silence and thermal levels I want without even slightly inhibiting performance, they are cool and would use one. I'd be more tempted to go with one for HTPC etc.

It would be either/or, not both. Maybe USB over ethernet rather than running a line however.

Fair, I was wanting to go for one of the x570 Aqua boards but they sold out by the time I was ready to buy. I know for that and others, yes I'd need to run a DP cable from the GPU to the MOBO. Honestly I don't see that as a dealbreaker but stability sure is. Maybe my experience using it on a laptop was indeed the ideal scenario as my stability was perfect. Daisy isn't my ideal scenario, I try to keep my signals as as separate as possible but yes it's a thought I had that would make things easier, but could have an impact on performance etc down the line. I'll keep reviewing things in the meantime!

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah you're right about the condensation and need for a heat exchanger, thanks for clarifying. Regarding TB: It'd cost me RMB5,368.60 for a long cable (Corning featured in LTT videos) as well as a MOBO that supports it. Obviously not buying the full MOBO just for TB but could pay a premium to have it. I already have a TS3+ that I used with my laptop. By the time I get around to it, this may not be that feasible due to USB4 becoming more of a thing and certain compatability issues but I'd have to rereview the video that came out recently. Possibly there would be a new Corning cable that would support it. Can I ask what issues you've run into with TB? My personal experience has been really good but yes it has solely been on a laptop. Regarding multiple cables: Definitely an option. It is the messiest/would require the most work to achieve cleanly, ideally running some more conduit around but this wouldn't have to go far. I looked up the option to run USB over ethernet but obviously this wouldn't also carry the display signal too. It would cut down on the cables required but I'd need to find the right product for me. I'd probably also look up options for daisy chaining the DP but not sure how well this would work given the required cable length and combined amount of data. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi All Before moving into our new and renovated home, I had planned to build a desk PC but this plan won't work as well as I would want it to. Beijing being Beijing, space is so expensive so getting anything extra is a big bonus. External radiator: The original idea was to have a passively cooled PC using quite a few radiators, whereas now I'm thinking of getting a larger radiator(s) for a car etc and putting this on the outside of the house and wall mounting the PC. The new place is a bit strangely laid out, we occupy the ground and -1 floors, below us are storage rooms and there's a void on either side of the house (including next to my office) where a skylight lets light into the windows of rooms like my office and the storage room below. That void stays pretty cool in summer (Beijing is in the 30s °C, this must be in the teens), and quite cold in winter (often in the - figures, can get below -10°C probably a similar temperature despite being underground). I'm thinking that there will probably be 2 major considerations, pressure and the risk of freezing. Pressure I can overcome with pumps and staying with serial flow, but interested if anyone has experience with getting the pressure to run through a large radiator like a car. With the freezing risk, I can go with antifreeze as coolant but it looks like people have stated it needs to be diluted quite substantially. Does anyone have knowledge on this? This PC also won't be on all of the time, so I am concerned about it ptoentially freezing if the concentration is not good enough. Rack mounting The alternative would be to rack mount it. I have a 42U rack about 3 meters away from my office. The office has 2 ethernet jacks using CAT7 currently wired into a USW Pro 48+UDM Pro. I wouldn't mind replacing the wire in 1 of these with another that could enable a more distant setup. It also wouldn't be out of the question to run a wire up through the ceiling and to the rack. The length of this cable would probably need to be at least 11/12m. By the time I get around to this, or just coincide with an upgrade, my current CPU/MOBO will likely be replaced. Considering these 2 may be replaced, what would your thoughts on this be? My requirements currently (and likely stay this way for a while) are: 4k HDR 144hz display with 1ms refresh rate. 2 additional portrait 1080p monitors. USB: keypad, keyboard, mouse, webcam, DAC and another couple of ports for adhoc use. Would TB4 be the way to go or is there something else that's advisable? Especially given that there's already CAT 7 to play with. I'll rewatch some of Linus' house videos to refresh my memory on what he's doing but I think he was using a long corning TB cable that isn't easy to get your hands on. I don't mind going slightly experimental but it would be good to have a proof of concept/example before proceeding. I've used TB3 with a Caldigit dock as part of a previous setup and was happy with that. Any thoughts or references would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks
