  1. I prefer to not wear headphone because one of my ears hurt when wearing them. So, does anyone have any recommendations for monitors and maybe a dac to use? So far, I'm thinking, KRK classic 5 Studio Monitors. https://www.andertons.co.uk/krk-classic-5-studio-monitor-bundle-w-cables-and-foam-pads?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=CjwKCAiAl-6PBhBCEiwAc2GOVM-kJA4Dq8mfuR2YBoR6qPpKDFmaQCsHHBzreODIMK39vPt19cyNmBoCDMUQAvD_BwE Buy stands for them have them to the left and right of me, using stands or clamps on my desk. Then I use a spark 40 amp that I have my pc connected to currently. I also use that for guitar playing, so that has the guitar plugged into it. My ideal situation is, having the Spark 40 as my front speaker, then the KRK monitors as left and right channels. Is this possible and is it a good idea. I want to play games using it too. Would this even be a good idea to do it like this or is there a better way?
  2. I have a custom PC. Could you explain a bit more about the devices own volume pop up. I'm just seeing the default Windows volume UI that appears in the top left when changing volume. Also, I've tested multiple games in most windowed modes.
  3. I’m trying to fix my GPU fan. I’ve watched a bunch of videos online about adding lubricant to it and how most fans have a little rubber stopper that you can take out and add lubricant to that. I don’t have that. I think they magnetic bearing fans? The sticker on the back says “DC Brushless Fan”. I’ve taken that sticker off and I can see the circuit board for the fan through cut outs. some video say you just need to pop the fin part off the main unit but I’ve tried and don’t want to put too much pressure on it in case it breaks. Any have some advice or tips? Maybe a video? I’ll attach pictures too
  4. This is a strange one, but when I have my Bluetooth (Bose QC35) headphones connected, if the volume is - what I would consider normal - levels, the game keeps un-focusing, as in clicking off the screen and I have to click back on to be able to move in game. When turning to headphones off or turning the volume down, everything works fine. Currently tested in Tarkov and Hell Let Loose. In full screen the game minimizes. In borderless, it's like the mouse clicks off the screen. I have two monitors, but when the mouse appears it's in the centre of my game window, which makes me believe that the mouse isn't clicking off the game window. I can try and record some footage if that will help.
  5. This is something that has been going on a while. When I'm playing games, either in borderless or full screen, changing the volume will un-focus that game window. So, when changin volume, I will have to click on the game when the UI volume changer in the top left appears and then again when it fades off. Has anyone come across this before?
  6. I recently noticed that one of the fans on my GPU is making a noise. Sounds like it's grinding or something stuck in it. Took the GPU out and had a look, looks a little loose compared to the other fan on the GPU. Using MSI Afterburner is there way I can control only 1 fan at a time? If I have Fan 1 on auto it stays on 0% when it's idle and I can manually control Fan 2, but the problem is when the GPU isn't idle, Fan 1 will kick in to cool the GPU. Taking Fan 1 off auto the minimum is 25% which makes Fan 1 spin and make the noise. I want to take Fan 1 off auto and have it at 0% and then set Fan 2 to say 80% to keep up with the heat. This is a temporary fix, I've contacted EVGA for a replacement and waiting on them getting back. I've found replacement fans on a separate website but I think they're dispatched from the US, I'm in the UK, might take a second. My GPU is EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080 XC Black Edition Gaming 8Gb. TLDR: In MSI Afterburner is there a way to take Fan 1 off auto and have go below 25%, which is the minimum off auto.
  7. Do you know of any good replacements or where to look for them? It's an RTX 2080 XC Black Edition Gaming. I did a quick google on GPU shrouds and coolers, but I don't know if they will fit my GPU, I imagine it's not a one size fits all.
  8. In both cases, would the issue be to replace the fans? Or shroud etc or can it be fixed?
  9. Here’s one of it turned on. Doesn’t sound good. IMG_3835.MOV
  10. Recently my gpu fan started to make a faint rattling noise, getting louder when I play a game. Tested it by pressing my finger lightly on each fan and it was one of the fans on my GPU. Took the GPU out and checked for anything touching it, dust or anything, nothing there. Just span it a little and it made a sound as if it’s loose or not lubricated well enough. I’ve attached a video of the problem with a comparison to the other fan on the GPU which is fine. IMG_3833.MOV
  11. Reinstalling what? I've just reinstalled some of the audio drivers I'm using. No luck there. Same problem.
  12. Last night all of a sudden my volume starting to change to 0 when I changed the volume, whether it was through the keyboard controls or through the settings on Windows 10. The UI for the volume appears when changing the volume then as it fades out, it snaps to 0%. I've unplugged everything that's plugged into my tower whilst it's off, and my keyboard and mouse that is plugged into my monitor, then plugged it all back in and turned my pc on. Didn't work. Tried the troubleshooting feature in Windows, that didn't work. It's like it's defaulting to 0 whenever I changed it. So frustrating. That whole volume UI in the top left has always frustrated me. Sometimes takes me out of fullscreen mode when in games whenever, I change the volume and the UI appears. 2021-12-04 11-36-09.mp4
  13. We have a NAS full of hard drives for work. We are looking to add an SSD cache to it for faster speeds while editing. In order to do that, the enclosure only supports SSD caches for 24TB-40TB in RAID 1 configuration. Would I be able to convert/migrate the current pool from RAID 5 to RAID 1 without losing data? Or would I need to back the data up to somewhere > convert to RAID 1 > then transfer back to the NAS?
  14. Thanks for the info. I've got 2 Noctua fans which are 4 pin I think. Probably just buy 3 more of them. But that Corsair hub is still no good since, it's different connector. Damn
