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.

I'm helping my friend with his First PC, and we decided to go for a LunarCore wall mounted type of thing. I'm kinda struggling to find the more niche parts we want for it though. Can anybody help me out? we're looking for stuff like: orange T Virus (double helix) reservoir opaque orange hardline tubing 420x140 fan grill Amazon isn't yielding much and I haven't looked at niche stuff in so long that My old go-to site seems mostly defunct lol. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

Warhammer Vermintide 2 is free to keep on steam right now. It's kinda like Left 4 Dead, in that it focuses on co-op play against hordes of enemies.

Unbelievably extra. Well done.

Hello Everyone. I decided to purge my SSE mods because I wasn't getting the effect I was looking for. I had followed a guide by TheEpicNate315 but I wasn't getting the results I was hoping for. Does anyone here have a recommendation for a guide to follow to make Skyrim look next gen? Thanks! (I'm absolutely willing to downgrade my install version to an extent. right now I have 1.6.353)

While googling the issue that was what I found as well, but all of my settings should allow for variable size arrays. I'll try changing the standard though. right now it's set to C17 which I believe should work, but maybe I misunderstood.

Hello All. I'm taking a introductory C course at uni, and I had a really weird issue with my compiler. First some background though. As per the instructors instructions, I am using VS code with the C/C++ extension and GCC 11.3.0 installed through cygwin64. All of my paths are set up in system environment variables, and in VS code (VS code automatically sees the correct paths). Up until everything has worked fine, but this one problem refused to compile. SO, the goal of the problem was extremely simple, just query the user for the size of a square matrix, then have the user populate it. take the populated matrix and print it back to the terminal with the lower left triangle of the matrix replaced with zeros. My issue wasn't with the code, but with the compiler having a strange problem with it. Whenever I try to compile it, I end up with the dreaded segmentation fault. I deleted lines of code one by one until I found the one causing the fault: ... scanf("%d", &nsize); //create matrix int sqtrix[nsize][nsize]; ... When the code gets to the matrix initialization, it just hangs and gives the segmentation fault. I checked it with online compilers, and I ran it through linux using WSL, and it worked everywhere except for on my pc. Can anyone give me insight into this? I'll be going to office hours to get this sorted, but some insight before then would be great.

The charger is working. I was worried that missing some output modes would hurt it, but I guess all the modes I need are accounted for.

Hello All. My friend's dog ate my HP laptop charger (she's okay though don't worry) and now I need to find a new one. The original HP charger was 45W and supported listed 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 10V/3.75A, 12V/3.75A, 15V/3A, and 20V/2.25A. The generic replacement I found at Bestbuy outputs 65W but doesn't share the same Output modes; it doesn't list anything for 10V or 12V and its main output is 20V/3.25A. Is it still okay to use this charger? TIA.

I'm on Windows 11 pro and I noticed windows update being really weird today. It is stuck at a really low percentage while downloading a major update (V. 22H2). I tested my connection and I still have really high upload and download speed as well as low latency, so I know it is not my wifi adapter or router. I also have Delivery Optimization on. In task manager, my network usage just shows up as a bunch of usage spikes. Does anybody recognize this behavior? Thanks in advance.

Here's something else weird, my C: drive doesn't have the UEFI partition on it. for some reason that's on my other M.2 SSD. Could this do something like funnel all of my drive fetches through the slower SSD?
