Just regarding Bifurcation on pcie. My first pciex16 is gen 4. It's where the rtx 3080 is installed. 2nd slot is gen3 only. In the BIOS it mentions PCIe_1 for bifurcation. But that's the one where the video card is. It has these settings: x16 8 x 8 16 x 4 x 4 4x4x4x4 If I use it it would...

When it rains it pours. When my case was heating up it most likely killed a 1TB adata drive. The drive will write fine but can't read! It reads at a few kB every few seconds at best. Even a test revealed 480mb write, zero read speed. Not coincidentally 2 Samsung SSD drives are fine and 3...

Well I thought my 3080 would be fine with my current case and psu, and I was right....barely... BUT, just ran into a problem as I was going to put the 1070 into a crappy old case with a crappy old psu I had. PSU is crud and has no PCI-e even though it's a good 600w PSU, but it's just too old ...

I frankensteined a pc together for niece/nephew. It has an i5 2500K so I want to use the intel iGPU (DX11), but the motherboard has no video out of any kind. I do have an ancient GTX 260 (DX10). So I have everything set up, but we're stuck on an old DX10 (2008) card. Is there a way to enable...

I have never had an accident in 23+ yrs driving. We bought a brand new car 3 weeks ago. Yesterday, my wife was stopped at a red light for 30 seconds. Some old lady just plain didn't stop and hit the car behind my wife, which then hit our car. Just the bumper is fudged. But with that comes any...

short story: I ended up with many 256/512/1TB m.2 nvme 2280 drives. They sit around collecting dust as I only have 2 slots on my x570 motherboard with ryzen 3900x. If I use one of these adapters: https://www.newegg.ca/riitop-model-dul-m2tpce4x-pci-express-controller-card/p/17Z-0061-00056...

I have been putting off these 2 old systems for a while. But now I wanted to see if I can get them up and running for my son to use. 1st system: Used to work 100% until some time ago. Now it takes up to 20 tries to get it to boot. If it boots it will work absolutely flawlessly until you...

I finally have some time. I was thinking of machining a custom acrylic case for fun. (ATX form factor). The problem is without disassembling a current case, getting semi-accurate measurements myself as to where everything goes, I don't know where to start. Is there anywhere to get blueprints...

Used a sweet dell monitor on another sytem always had 2560x1440 res. Using monitor on wife's PC now and can't get anything above 1080p. monitor: Dell U2713HM 1440p cpu: i5-4690k (using igpu) claims 4k on HDMI. motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 So the monitor is an obvious 1440p. cpu...

Is this part of the forum dead or am I posting in the wrong place? Trying to re-install Windows 10 PRO on parents lap top. I boot off the DVD (just downloaded from Microsoft). It worked last time. This time when I boot into the installation it ends up saying it needs a device driver. "No...

I currently have an LG Nexus 5. All paid for, it will become a thing for my son to mash now. I can get any of the below phones for no cost, just a tab. So which is bettererer? Of course I could get one of the newer shiny phones but $$$$$ and what's the point. LG G5 Samsung Galaxy A5 Samsung...

I hate to start another one of these threads but... It's $399.99 $CAD for this Samsung 4k monitor. CONS: TN panel, and it's doing something freaky to make it 10bit but not true 10bit colour, but yes, but no, but looks like it but isn't? That vs sticking with what I have: Dell 2713HM 2560x1440...
