But i need new case as old one (NZXT Guardian 921) has lot of small opening from which air can go inside. Its 12 years old it has CD rom bays and HDD bay which sucks more air from outside. Can you please suggest few cases in my budget which have good dust resistant design without compromised a lot on air flow.

I live in Delhi, India where its ultra dusty. I am looking to upgrade case which will accumulate minimum dust. My current case needs cleaning every 2 months and I am tired of it. My budget is $120. I am only using air cooling for everything (no AIO & using CPU stock cooler). I only play apex legends once in a while where temps get 85C on both CPU & Mobo. Currently using Ryzen 5 3600x, GTX 1660, 16GB DDR4 3600mhz, Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus Motherboard, 1GB Nvme SSD, Antec HCG750 80 Plus Gold PSU. Other then that, few requirements I have : If it comes with prefitted case fans then its a bonus. Cable management, so I can hide all cables nicely without bending them badly. Don't care about looks, RGB, etc. Only want maximum protection from dust in the air. I think if fan is on top of the case it will attract more dust (not sure about that). So front, side, rear fan might be better. Case like this is what I want but it's impossible to find anything similar or same model like Silverstone Mammoth MM01 :

I got new Antec HCG750 Gold PSU and I ran OCCT power test which stresses both cpu & gpu at same time. CPU temps stayed fixed at 90 C as the stock cooler is garbage. Anyways at 36min mark the whole pc froze and I had to force restart using power button. is this normal behavior ? Also I am using razer orochi v2 mouse, the cursor on the monitor freezes for 2-3 secs randomly 3-4 times per day and when I press keyboard button to check the system is taking input of keys which means PC is not freezing just the mouse cursor hangs. I tested with other usb ports but same issue. Does this mean fault is in motherboard? Update : I ran OCCT CPU test and core 5 is giving errors. I am attaching log also. CPU errors.txt

New update, mouse left click double click issue has started. I already knew all the mouse are like that. Damn me. Maybe next time I will get optical switches for mouse. Omron/Kailh etc they all suck.

I found some models under $100 can you recommend 2-3 from these or you can also add your choice if you know any better model. I checked PSU tier list on these sites. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psucultists-psu-tier-list-rev-14-8-12-07-2021.3624094/ https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eL0893Ramlwk6E3s3uSvH1_juom7SMG5SCNzP2Uov8w/ MODEL - TIER Antec HCG750 Bronze - C # Antec HCG750 Gold - A ~ Antec EA750G PRO 80 Plus Gold - A Antec Neo Eco NE550M V2 - D Antec Neo Eco NE650M V2 - D ANTEC ARES AP550 - D ANTEC ARES AP650 - D Corsair CX650M - C Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 V2 Full Modular MPE-6501-AFAAG - B # MSI MPG A650GF 80 PLUS GOLD - A # Deepcool DQ650-M-V2L 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold - B # Deepcool DQ750-M V2L 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold - C Silverstone 750W ‎SST-ST75F-GS-V3 - B Silverstone 750W Gold ET750-HG - B Label - ~ 7 years warranty # 10 years warranty Rest are 5 years warranty PS : Sometimes it's tough to figure out so there could be error in my list. https://www.primeabgb.com/ https://mdcomputers.in/ https://www.vedantcomputers.com/ https://www.theitdepot.com/ https://www.easyshoppi.com/ https://www.itgadgetsonline.com/ https://www.theitwares.com/ https://compify.in/ https://nationalpc.in/ https://smcinternational.in/ https://www.vishalperipherals.in/ https://www.pcshop.in/ https://www.krgkart.com/ https://sphinxpc.in/ https://rptechindia.in/ https://elitehubs.com/ https://starcomp.in/ https://www.thevaluestore.in/ https://www.ezpzsolutions.in/ https://computerspace.in/ http://www.overclockerszone.com/

I live in India, I buy online there are many website, not amazon as amazon is most pricey.

This is expensive in India like $120. All others I listed are under $95.

I am looking for new PSU as my current Corsair VX550 PSU lasted 12 years. I need semi modular or fully modular. I think I should get wattage between 500W to 750W. I am using : CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600x (95W) Motherboard : Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus RAM : 2 X 8GB A-Data XPG 3200Mhz CL16 SSD : Silicon Power 1TB NVMe M.2 Gen 3 GPU : Zotac GTX 1660 Twin Fan (125W) Cabinet Fans : 3 (120mm) * No LED strips or RGB. I might buy a new GPU like RTX 3060 or 3060ti in future once price gets back to normal. So even my next GPU won't suck more then 200W. Also my current PSU didn't had 4pin EATX12V for extra power to CPU. I looked some models today but they also don't have that connector. Does it come only with high end PSU? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I found some models under $100 can you recommend 2-3 from these or you can also add your choice if you know any better model Antec HCG750 Bronze Antec HCG750 Gold Antec Neo Eco NE550M V2 Antec Neo Eco NE650M V2 ANTEC ARES AP550 ANTEC ARES AP650 Corsair CX650M Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 V2 Full Modular MSI MPG A650GF 80 PLUS GOLD Deepcool DQ650-M-V2L 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold Deepcool DQ750-M V2L 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold Silverstone 750W ‎SST-ST75F-GS-V3

Whenever I play Apex Legends (it's the only game I play) it makes the whole PC stutter every 3-4 mins (for 2-3 secs everything freezes). Although stuttering also happens when I am not gaming and just browsing but it's 2-3 times per day. This issue only started last month. Also I got my GPU replaced last month, so it can't be GPU. I checked temperatures during gaming and it's all under 70 Celsius on GPU, CPU & Mobo. PC is little less then 2 years old but PSU is 12 years old. CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600x Motherboard : Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus RAM : 2 X 8GB A-Data XPG 3200Mhz CL16 SSD : Silicon Power 1TB NVMe M.2 Gen 3 GPU : Zotac GTX 1660 Twin Fan PSU : Corsair 550W (Bought in 2009) Where should I start ? Coz it could be motherboard or CPU or PSU or RAM or GPU, it's hard to figure out as I don't have 2nd desktop to switch parts & find the faulty hardware. I think it's most likely PSU but I just don't want to buy new PSU for $100 then later realize it was something else which was faulty.

I need all-in-one printer for home use preferably ink tank (or inkjet if ink tank is out of budget) and with duplex printing if possible. Laser is out of my budget. I can't find any printer which can print on blank Discs (they have white Inkjet printable surface). Can someone please suggest what all options are there !

I can't find this info. Do you know if I can replace optical switches with standard cherry MX or Kailh or Gateron switches if one of them fails. I can solder other brand switches but not sure if size are same for both optical & standard mechanical switch.

I am getting ASUS TUF Gaming K7 for $87, is it better model then all the ones we discussed here? If yes then I will buy it ASAP before it runs out of stock

Thanks for help

So I got Razer Orochi v2 , here are my issues with it, it's mostly subjective : 1) Length could have been little longer to get grip from palm side easily, it should ideally be twice in length as in width but it is little less at Length: 108 mm Width: 60 mm So if length was like 115mm or more it would be perfect. My hands are 17cms long and 10cms wide 2) On left and right side for thumb and pinky finger they could add a grip , coz right now its smooth plastic surface and little slippery 3) Scroll wheel is little too tight, it has notch clicky detent mechanism and you have to make some effort to make it spin. I prefer more effortless scroll wheels with small detents to stop it going into infinite spin. 4) Scroll button is okayish, could be little lighter. 5) It's for people with small/small-medium hands. It's too small in size for Medium or Large hands.

Whenever I launch any game and play for 2-3 minutes it crashes the whole PC. This issue only started last month. Also I got my GPU replaced last week, so it can't be GPU. I checked thermals during gaming and it's normal on GPU, CPU & Mobo. PC is little less then 2 years old. CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600x Mobo : Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus RAM : 8GB X 2 A-Data XPG 3200Mhz CL16 SSD : Silicon Power 1TB NVMe M.2 Gen 3 GPU : Zotac GTX 1660 Twin Fan PSU : Corsair 550W Where should I start ? Coz it might be motherboard or CPU or PSU, it's hard to figure out as I don't have 2nd desktop to switch parts & find the faulty hardware.

Most of the model you recommended are not in India. I looked only and found only 3 options in my budget which are available in India : 1) Corsair K68 2) Corsair K60 Pro 3) Asus TUF Gaming K3 All of them have red switches both corsair keyboard cost same at around $102 and Asus K3 cost only $72. Which one would you recommend? I don't mind paying $30 extra for corsair if they're providing more features or better quality then Asus." * K60 Pro have hot-swappable switches but you can't find Cherry Voila switches anywhere.

I mainly play FPS games like Apex Legends & Hyperscape. I need gaming keyboard with following requirements : 1) Palm rest 2) Should be full size keyboard 3) Actuation Force should be as low as possible as I got small hands under 50cN 4) Linear switches 5) Multimedia hot-keys Optional features : 1) Wireless would be better, even though I am fine with wired also 2) Backlit 3) Dust proof keys 4) Hot-swappable switches as I don't want to spends hours replacing switch/solder when it fails.

I am looking for wireless gaming mouse under $90. I mostly play FPS games like Apex Legends, Hyperscape. These are my must have requirements : 1) I am Right handed user with Finger Tip Grip & small-medium sized hands 2) Mouse should be under 100 grams with batteries 3) Same latency as wired mouse These are optional requirements : 1) More buttons the better (preferably more then 6-7 programmable buttons) 2) Battery life should be more then 50 hours if it's built-in rechargeable and if AA/AAA cell then it should be more then 150 hours. Also every mouse I ever bought (HP, Logitech, Asus, Microsoft, Dell) in my life had double click issues after a while I don't think there is even a single mouse in the world which won't have this issue.

I was looking to buy external blu-ray writer but I can't find any in Indian Market that supports all regular blu-ray formats along with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc & 3D Blu-ray movies. However I found 2 internal blu-ray writer which supports everything I need. But I am not sure if internal writer will work with any random enclosure or Sata to USB converter cable that we find on amazon. I know that Sata internal hard-drives work easily using even the cheapest enclosures but I have no idea what type of enclosure works perfectly for full size 41mm height Blu-ray drives. I also don't know if those enclosures/case or sata to usb cables will work in Plug & Play USB mode with optical drives. Please help if anyone knows, how I can get it to work without any problems.

someone suggested I can fix it by running a manual garbage collection. I have no idea what that is.

I just ran trim command in powershell but still same result Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter YourDriveLetter -ReTrim -Verbose Drive is around 65% full, so this slow speed is normal behavior and nothing can be done to fix it? and no point getting it replaced?

I ran some benchmarks and I am getting very low write Seq. Q32T1 speed from few weeks in crystal disk mark. Originally Seq. Q32T1 write speed was always above 3000mbps when I bought it last year which is the advertised speed by company. I am not sure what could be the issue. Maybe the SSD is fried ? Does anyone know? Original Benchmark from last year: Recent Bechmark : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I could send the SSD for RMA but problem is I don't want to reinstall everything. I have 2 external HDD lying around. So I can clone full disk image of my SSD into a USB HDD then when I get it back I can restore image on it. Can anyone let me know good software to do that. Also I think first I need to create image of SSD onto an external HDD and then when I get it back I will have to install Windows on another spare HDD so I can restore that image back to the replaced SSD. It's very long and tedious process. Let me know if there is any easier method. I am not sure if its possible to restore the cloned image without installing any OS.
