    Is there a website or app that will download but not store data on my iPhone. Thanks in advance.

    First off I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, so with that out of the way let's get into it. So I have a 50ft Cat6 cable running from my router to my room the problem is that it can't make it all the way across without having to be strait so I need to extend it. Now I have a 6ft cat6 cable made from the same company, is there any way that I can just cut and strip the cables on the inside to extend it without having to do any crimping. Thanks in advance and also I tried looking this up online and couldn't find what I was looking for.

    I took the entire radiator and motherboard and shook as hard as I could and now the pump is running quiet! It rattled a bit more and than stopped, I don't understand, did I shook the broken bit down one of the tubes and into the rad?

    Well this sucks... I bought an AIO off of ebay for $20, it's asetek and is 120mm. It works and my i5 2500k at 4.5Ghz is idling around 38-40C. Before everyone starts saying that it is air bubbles that is causing the noise, I don't think that it is air bubbles because when I picked up the cooler out of the box I heard a faint rattling noise like a piece of plastic has broken or something. I hooked it up and everything went fine until I started up the PC, it started making a rattling and harsh sound and I turned the PC on its side and moved the radiator around and tapped on the tubes but the noise continued to rattle. It got quiet the first time I mover the radiator and tubes but than started back even worse. I don't want to send it back because it still works but I am willing to disassemble it to take out the piece if that is causing the noise. Thanks for the help.

    Well I just bought myself a evga ftw 1080 and I have a 500w 80 plus white evga power supply. Well that power supply only has a 1x8, 1x6 pin cables but the house has 2x8 pins. I know the minimum power supply for the 1080 FE is 500w. Now since the FTW is factory OC it will probably require more power but I don't plan on maxing out this GPU for at least 6-8 months and by than I will have a 600-700w psu. I'm going to be running at 1360*768 most of the time but will upgrade to 4K in 6 months. Should I get a new psu or will this be able to power it for the time being. System specs- Cpu- i5 2500K @4.5 Motherboard- Asus P8Z68 gen 3 Cpu cooler- Hyper 212 evo GPU- EVGA Gtx 1080 FTW 4 system fans. 2Tb HDD 1Tb HDD 500W EVGA 80 Plus white. Thanks for the help. P.S. I only upgraded to the Gtx 1080 because I sold my RX 470.

    I recently moved my entire setup to a different side of the room and everything was working fine until I moved it and now it says that there is no network available even though it detects the cable. I've reset all the drivers, made sure that all the cable connections are good and unplugged and re plugged them. Reset the router, I've tried everything and I just don't know what to do anymore. I have also restarted my computer. Thanks for the help in advance.

    I ordered a new hard drive and tried to install windows but now the mouse is stuck on that too just like before so it's not the hard drive... Do you have any suggestions. Edit: There were some incompatible Maoist drivers that for whatever reason would freeze up and he hard drive would be at a high capacity of use.

    Ok thanks

    I do not but I was able to put onto an entirely different system with completely different components and had the same issue.
