I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for confirming.

I have a Corsair Strafe RGB mk.2 with some sticky switches and some flashing LEDs; two separate problems on the same keyboard with only a couple keys being affected by both issues. I tried cleaning the sticky keys with isopropyl alcohol, which worked at first, but it didn't stay fixed for long, and I haven't tried anything for the flashing LEDs. Should I try cleaning them again, using lubricant, or should I just replace the switches outright? Thanks for advice.

I'm sick of Scalpers/bots buying most of the stock of limited edition stuff. The starfield controller just has a really cool aesthetic to it and I'd like to buy one for my friend and maybe me. Does anyone know when/where I'll be able to get one before a scalper does? Thanks for the advice.

the most strain is put on a fan when it is changing speeds, or just spinning up. With that being said, you really don't need to worry about the fans. just run them in such a way that they only spin up when gaming, and then stay fairly constant.

I remember back in the days of halo 3 that a really well-timed weapon melee could actually parry a sword, similar to a sword/sword parry. Thing is, I can't tell if it's possible in Halo Infinite, and I don't know if that's because of the game being buggy or if it's because they still haven't brought that feature back. Super random, but does anyone know?

At this point, I'm becoming the crestfallen knight. On multiple occasions my steam saves for a Dark Souls game (be it 2 SOtFS or 3) have just disappeared. I believe this happens after multiple updates occur on my system between instances of starting the game. It is becoming increasingly frustrating. I also rarely see my saves reappear after reinstalling the game after a system refresh, for instance. This game is set to upload to the steam cloud, but steam claims it is up to date, so I don't know what else I can do to get my saves back. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey thanks for the help! I'll show these to my partner and see what she thinks. I don't really have a budget yet, I just wanted to know That what I was looking for still existed, and you've really helped with that.

Ideally 4k. If it has gaming features like freesync or G-sync even better, but I feel like it's impossible to find that in a non-smart TV.

The security issues associated with smart TVs is concerning to me, not to mention many of them are frustratingly limited in their smart capabilities. So I was wondering, is it still possible to get TVs that are just a good panel? I'd rather pay for a good panel and image processor over a smart TV subsidized by the sale of my data. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm going to break tradition here and say it really doesn't matter. The air in most cases with this many fans will be very turbulent and heat rising vs flow direction isn't going to matter. I believe LTT even did a video on this once. What may be an issue is the GPU since it will have made its own little pocket and the bottom radiator fan may not pull enough air down there for it. Do you ever notice its fans ramping up a lot, or when there isn't much load on it? You could try running the intake fans on a higher duty cycle to create positive pressure to help push air around the GPU.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I checked out the outlet box, and there's no room to route anything else through it. On the other hand I also checked out this old phone line cover and, wouldn't you know it, there's no back to the box! It looks like I'll be able to go through here to the other side of the wall. After the holidays I'll see if my landlord is cool with this. There's already a few blank covers on the wall so I guess we'll see.

I have two neighboring rooms that I'd like to pass a few ethernet cables (and maybe more later) straight through. I've measured the wall to be about 5" thick. My plan was to use this little doodad to just go straight through the wall. I just thought I'd come here and see if anyone else can share their solutions to a similar problem or to see if anyone has a suggestion. Thanks for reading.

What you are describing sounds like an overload fault. This happens because the components in the system are trying to pull more power than the power supply can, uh, supply... yeah that's definitely an english sentence. Anyways, this is probably because the components are too powerful for the PSU, or because the PSU lied/is bad and can't output what it says it can. We'll need to know the PSU wattage (on a label on the side, usually) as well as the power-hungry components like CPU and GPU. This is a less common issue, but it could also be because your PSU might have multiple 12V rails (the main supplier of power in a power supply) and right now you are overloading one of them. This is hard to diagnose without some kind of documentation on the PSU so we'll try other things first. I'd also like to say that cheap and/or bundled PSUs are rarely a good deal or idea. It is the most vital part of a system's health and if it dies it can take the rest of the system with it. a quality PSU is relatively cheap insurance on a system, and I'd recommend just swapping it out if you have the chance. If you don't know what size you need, we can link you to some easy to use PSU calculators, or even do the calculations for you if it helps.

Thanks for the links. I'm kinda surprised to see so much trust for aliexpress. Most people I talk to stay away from there. I'll give it a shot though. As far as water cooling color goes, I remember the best advice being to use treated water, and colored tubing/reservoir. This way there's no additives in the water possibly reducing performance, causing corrosion, etc. plus this way it will give the effect of that the reservoir is actually the helix and not the tube around it.
