Hey guys, I'm really having a hard time decide between the Lenovo X1 Carbon 9th Gen or the Lenovo X1 Nano. I'm a real estate broker, I will use it to do more web browsing, watching videos and that's pretty much it. Maybe play league of legends once in a while, I love gaming but prefer to do it on a desktop with bigger screen. For sure I would not mind the extra inch on the X1 Carbon and the extra ports on the laptop. My budget is around max 2800$ CAD. Would like to buy it in the next month, open to suggestions but really like Lenovo laptops from everything I read and reviews. Those on the picture would probably be between the 4 Lenovo laptops I would choose from. Thanks in advance! Alex

I am planning on building a new system and I ve been waiting for Asus to release their new AM5 mini itx ROG Strix B650E-I because I needed a motherboard that can support the new gen ryzens, DDR5 and can fit in the Fractal torrent nano case. The motherboard was finally release a couple of days ago in my country at the wonderful price of 410€!!!!!! even though the same strix motherboard for intel's cpus costs 270€ which is still expensive but still inside my budget. Do you have any information whether we ll see a drop on the AM5 strix motherboards soon or is this going to be the standard price for this motherboard? It was the first time a case met all my requirements, looks, airflow and build space and I really don't want to go for intel...If only there was a small torrent case that could support micro atx that would have solve my problem but now I simply don't know what to do and I really need a new PC before February... Do you have any other recommendations that would help me? The PC I am planning to build will be using an AMD 7700x.

Just wanted to know your guys thoughts on the r9 nano, for a small rig. Still worth it? there's one for sale for 200 USD near by

I really do want to get the nano, but i am worried about the possibility of coil whine. How likely is it to appear, and is it "fixable" or able to be tuned down?

Hey all, I was reading about vega and found out HBM RAM was the technology that allowed the R9 Nano to be so small. I noticed that VEGA uses HBM2, using the same space saving methodology. If that is the case how likely is there to be a R10 Nano to come into existence and how soon/how expensive would it be

From what I gather the 24-pin cable supplied with this psu is going to be a tad too short unless routed in front of the gfx. Can I get any 24-pin cable from a quality brand or do I need a specific type of plug for the psu side? (I noticed Corsair sell cables, but none are listed for the sf)

So I was looking into doing a full liquid loop in my system, and EKWB has the (only good looking imo) full block. It says it's end of life, but are there any other sites I may not have seen that could have it? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-r9-nano-acetal-nickel The only other block that looks like is available and works would be this one: http://www.xs-pc.com/waterblocks-gpu/razor-r9-fury-nano There are 2 more but those are nickel plated and both the rad and the cpu block are copper. If there is no way to get the EKWB one, are they the same thickness (The tube connector looks thicker on the XSPC one)? There seems to be no information on dimensions anywhere on the EKWB site.

So...I had been entertaining the idea of a mining rig for a while and I got 6 RX 580s at a very good price, but I got drunk one night and decided I wanted to try older hardware (I don't know either), and I bought 3 R9 Nanos, 1 R9 390, 1 R9 Fury and 1 R9 Fury X. Any problem running those 6 cards? They all have the same GPU except for the 390, but the deal is done (Drinking with ambien...SO F*UCKING WISE) and I wanted to ask if there could be a problem mixing them. Got no issues with the 580s, but I'm wondering on that mix I purchased while intoxicated (still at good prices surprisingly)

I've been contemplating on upgrading my R9 Nano for some time. The 1070 itx was a very interesting option at first, but given how its only marginally better than the R9 Nano, I decided to hold off until newer ITX form-factor GPUs would get introduced. Fast forward a few months, and now there's not only a 1080 ITX mini, but also a 1080Ti ITX mini. Add to the heap the announcement of a Vega Nano, and I kinda feel split on which card might be the better investment. At first it seems like an easy choice: 1080Ti ITX mini would be a no brainer, if not for the fact that a) It runs hotter than a ZOTAC 1080 ITX mini, so cooling could be a problem and b) It requires 2 8-pin connectors, as its power draw is much larger than its non-Ti cousin. c) It's also the priciest of all the ITX cards, surpassing even the R9 Nano's original MSRP. (I could also say that D. It's not available due to bitcoin miners buying them out, but that's true for all GPUs atm.) So now I'm sort of split between the Vega Nano and the 1080 ITX mini. I'm still waiting to hear more details about Vega Nano, including its performance and price, while the presence of the 1080Ti ITX could make the non-Ti 1080 ITX mini a bit cheaper. As a matter of fact, I'm hoping the case will be that both performance and price would scale evenly: 1070 ITX mini -> Vega Nano -> 1080 ITX mini, but then again that's me just speculating. So what do you guys think of this situation? Right now, only an ITX width GPU will be able to fit my build.

Hello, im having issues with coding on arduino, its my first time actually having fun with arduino. So i dont really know what im doing. What i am trying to do is to make DIY steering wheel and pedals with potentiometers and im getting this error atlibusbdfu.dll This is code i found on internet. Potentiometer has limited range of 300° (full turn) so basically 150° in each direction... Can you maybe guide me towards success This is the code : #include "UnoJoy.h" void setup(){ setupPins(); setupUnoJoy(); } void loop(){ // Always be getting fresh data dataForController_t controllerData = getControllerData(); setControllerData(controllerData); } void setupPins(void){ // Set all the digital pins as inputs // with the pull-up enabled, except for the // two serial line pins for (int i = 2; i <= 12; i++){ pinMode(i, INPUT); digitalWrite(i, HIGH); } pinMode(A4, INPUT); digitalWrite(A4, HIGH); pinMode(A5, INPUT); digitalWrite(A5, HIGH); } dataForController_t getControllerData(void){ // Set up a place for our controller data // Use the getBlankDataForController() function, since // just declaring a fresh dataForController_t tends // to get you one filled with junk from other, random // values that were in those memory locations before dataForController_t controllerData = getBlankDataForController(); // Since our buttons are all held high and // pulled low when pressed, we use the "!" // operator to invert the readings from the pins controllerData.triangleOn = !digitalRead(2); controllerData.circleOn = !digitalRead(3); controllerData.squareOn = !digitalRead(4); controllerData.crossOn = !digitalRead(5); controllerData.dpadUpOn = !digitalRead(6); controllerData.dpadDownOn = !digitalRead(7); controllerData.dpadLeftOn = !digitalRead(8); controllerData.dpadRightOn = !digitalRead(9); controllerData.l1On = !digitalRead(10); controllerData.r1On = !digitalRead(11); controllerData.selectOn = !digitalRead(12); controllerData.startOn = !digitalRead(A4); controllerData.homeOn = !digitalRead(A5); // Set the analog sticks // Since analogRead(pin) returns a 10 bit value, // we need to perform a bit shift operation to // lose the 2 least significant bits and get an // 8 bit number that we can use controllerData.leftStickX = analogRead(A0) >> 2; controllerData.leftStickY = analogRead(A1) >> 2; controllerData.rightStickX = analogRead(A2) >> 2; controllerData.rightStickY = analogRead(A3) >> 2; // And return the data! return controllerData; }

Hi, I am looking for a reasonable (under 1000) build for a mini ITX or SBC light weight render blade. I am trying to balance cost with render power so that I can build a bunch of them. I've been looking at the node 202 and an rtx 2060. Are there any recommendations to keep down costs and have high enough performance? If possible I'm looking for something that is stackable. Thanks

Hello again. I'm ordering a access point today/monday to test out if 1 AP covers enough of the rooms (entire 1. floor) or if I should do 2 APs each floor. Ubiquiti have this new nanoHD that looks similar to the AC-PRO, have a smaler size and higher speed (1300 vs. 1733), and about the identical price. Its also something about a 3x3 vs 4x4 MIMO (?), loosing the secondary port (?), and not being able to aggregate (?). I were kinda ready to jump on the nanoHD for future proofing reasons - until I unfortunately read the YT comments and got scared by big words and stuff. Little info about what the use will be: - Normal home stuff. There will be plenty cat6 outlets everywhere to drive desktop PCs and internett TVs. Only laptops and phones will use wireless, maybe 1 PS4. - There will be 2xcat6 available for each AP. - Minimum 3 APs will be installed. So the question is, which to chose. // Homesites to the two APs below: https://unifi-nanohd.ubnt.com/ https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ //

Hey Guys, I've finished making this project (LED Project (LTT Forum)) some time ago. The problem is, that if I give a command to the arduino through the serial monitor, the only responsive command is "Off". So it doesn't execute the command I send it. Code (from the project, not mine, just a little adjusted): I can't see why the code shouldn't work properly and accept any declared command. Information: I've burnt my voltage regulator of my arduino, so I bridged it Between the Arduino and the LED Data pins is a Resistor (300 Ohm, 0.6W, 0.25%) and a <2m long wire LEDs are not powered by arduino Baud size in serial monitor is the right one, made it higher once for testing purposes, no change Any help in fixing this problem is appreciated. 5chmidti

So not too much is known about the card as of right now, but I suppose we might be getting a miniature thermonuclear bomb. I'm just a little confused about that VRM sectioning though, I think they got phase 3 and 4 mixed up, and it should be that phase 4 should be the bottom inductor, leading to a 6+1+1 arrangement around, for core + something + HBM2.

hey guys, i applied this product to protect my pixel 2 xl's screen.but it seems to mess with the light and ambient sensor on the top of the phone. is there a way to remove nano coating? maybe with a chemical and rubbing or some alcohol? its not a major issue, it just causes the phone to sometimes think its in my pocket and the always on display doesn't work. help please.

Hello Friends, I am working on building a computer that I can bring with me to my girl friends parent's place in a foreign country as a gift.

so i am trying to make a program launch on boot and i found a way that should work with my rPI but now NANO text editor wont let me save and i just get the error: "Error wrighting /ect/init.d/*filename*: no such file or directory" and i dont know what to do about it, i used sudo nano /etc/init.d/*filename* to get into NANO and then i put in the code and the when i go to save and exit i get the error. if someone knows how to fix this that would be just awesome thanks for any help and any replies!

Sooooooooo this just popped up on my Twitter timeline. rip R9 Nano? EDIT: Sorry if you were looking for some details on this card. I just saw it on my Twitter timeline and figured it would make for some good discussion.

Hey I have a watercooled overclocked R9 Nano in my itx pc. Even when overclocked my Nnao drops clockspeed while at load just because of the bios even though my Nano is under 55c at load. AMD offers firmware for the R9 Nano and Fury X to download on their website, I wanted to know if it's ok to flash the Fury X bios onto my Nano since it's the same card with a different TDP and adapted for less cooling. So I just wanted to know if it's ok to load the Fury X bios so my card wont drop clockspeed and have better overclocking.

I'm going to hopefully put together a sff system with a custom loop. I wanted to know if how much you can increase the r9 nano's power envelope under water or is it more recommended to buy a fury (or x) due to the 175 versus 275 and then cool that due to the larger tdp allowing for more power out of the box. I was hoping buying an r9 nano to watercool would save me some money compared to the fury x if I can achieve equivalent performance.

Hi! I've been watching a lot of Linus Tech Tips/NCIX/AsQuicklyAsPossible and other Linus hosted videos as of late ever since I've taken up Comp TIA A+ and Net+ classes. Often case the subject matter just happens to overlap, and in one area that I currently lack is the fear of trying to build my own computer myself. Now I've had a custom computer made by my local MicroCenter before (using a combination of finding great deals, like paying $125 for an AMD HD 7870) since I wasn't particularly versed in assembling a PC. Even now, despite taking up an A+ class twice, I have a fear of accidentally blowing up a rig by selecting the wrong PSU or perhaps applying thermal paste wrong. Maybe I'm just paranoid... Anyways... I promised myself that my next computer would be smaller but meatier (VR compliant) than my current build, which is currently housed in an Antec VSK3000 series tower. Even I still found it too unwieldy setting on my desk, which is why I decided to go for Silverstone's RVZ02B "Home Theater PC" cases for this. Many have claimed that it is relatively easy to work with compared to other itx cases out on the market (and I have, as Linus would put it in one video, "small Asian hands"). I thought it would be great to pair it up with AMDs latest miniaturized graphic card, the R9 Nano, as the lower power consumption and form factor would work great with in this case, especially if I were planning on mounting a 3.5" 4TB HDD together with a Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 1TB SSD (the HDD has to be mounted in the same compartment as the GPU). I planned on utilizing the ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac fitted with an i7-6770k in conjunction with 32GB of DDR4 RAM (most likely the HyperX Savage 32GB HX424C14SBK2/32, but I'm also eyeing the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB F4-2400C14D-32GVK to see if it could possibly fit...) cooled with a Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet Slim fan (I've seen posts of several builders that have claimed it does fit the RVZ02B). Some problem arises should the fan be covering the fan slots, hence why I'm still trying to decide if a RAM like the HyperX Savage would be a better fit than the G.Skill, which does have heat spreaders going slightly upward. I'm waiting for Corsair to release their SF600W power supply after hearing the bad news about the Silverstone SFX600's failure rate. Thought I was assured that the SFX-L500W would be more than enough for my rig (though I'm still unsure about how good these PSUs are). Lastly, I do not plan on overclocking my rig. This is mostly for longevity reasons (Yes, I do plan on making this rig last a decade! I'm not spending this much again in a loooong time!), but also because I'm also inexperience and don't want to fry my CPU/GPU that I've bought with hard earned cold cash (or credit). I did hear that "increasing the Power Limit" of the Nano and "undervolting" is not considered "overclocking", but I'm still scared about applying any out-of-specification usage that might result in damage. Here's my list from PCPartsPicker: CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet CPU Cooler (Purchased) Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Kingston Savage 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased) Toshiba 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 Nano 4GB Video Card White Edition (Purchased) Case: Silverstone RVZ02B HTPC Case (Purchased) Power Supply: Silverstone 500W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply Optical Drive: Panasonic UJ240 6x Blu-ray Burner BD-RE/8x DVD±RW (Purchased) Goals: Small as possible Try to keep it as close to 500W as possible/ Keep power consumption low Must be able to run 3 monitors (3 x 1366x768@60Hz), VR Ready Avoid the need to open the case (RAM is maxed from the get go because of this. RVZ02B also has dust filters.) No overclocking/ longevity and durability utmost importance. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback and advice!

Will an AMD R9 nano experience bottleneck if the cpu is a AMD Athlon x4 750k Quad Core Processor 3.40 GHz ? or will these two cooperate nice ?
