    weak range for Asus pce ac 68?

    So I enabled bridge mode but it disconnects too often and I can't surf the web because it constantly disconnects and reconnects. The link rate fluctuates but it's never at its full potential. Sometimes when it's good I get good speed for about 30mins. In total there are only 6 people sharing the...

    H105 Waterblock Cleaning and Applying Thermal Paste Question

    Thanks for the tips. I installed H105 on Haswell 4790K on Maximus VII Hero. The idle temp (realtemp) is higher than I expected (around 37C with no overclocking). Is this too high? Should I reapply the thermal paste? Also I found that the fans come with H105 are rather too noisy. I think...

    H105 Waterblock Cleaning and Applying Thermal Paste Question

    Thanks. I just used some microfiber cloth but it left some tiny scratches (visible but not much). I think there was some small particle on the cloth itself. I cleaned the surface but I hope it doesn't affect it too much.

    Time for a new desktop (Buying CPU,Aftermarket Cooler for OC,Mboard, Case,RAM)

    Last time I built a desktop PC was a 5 years ago already. I've had Core i7 920 with EVGA X58 and over the years they've worked great without any major malfunction. Lately I noticed some telltale signs of motherboard failure and started thinking about upgrading my PC (more of a major overhaul)...

    Black Screen with transparent horizontal waves after installing a new video card

    I used driversweeper to remove any Nvidia related driver for the last video card. Do you think it's the monitor? This monitor is over 8 years old. I tried different refresh rate for the monitor but it's the same. For PSU I use Corsair 1000W and I think it's more than enough. The video card...

    What's wrong with Amazon.ca and/or UPS?

    Thanks JD. No I haven't even opened the package. The funny thing is the hard disk's static bag has a bunch of words like fragile, delicate, etc. I don't want to take any chance by opening it. I ordered it from Amazon.ca because I use them occasionally to buy books and some electronics. Actually...

    What's wrong with Amazon.ca and/or UPS?

    I recently order a hard disk (Western Digital 2TB Black) from Amazon.ca. I happened to check its delivery status yesterday and was surprised to read "Delivery Status: delivered" on the invoice. I never got the package and called UPS (Amazon.ca sells stuff UPS is the middle man) this morning and...

    Black Screen with transparent horizontal waves after installing a new video card

    I just got a Powercolor HD7850 and installed the video card. Everything is fine and I like the performance of the card but when the monitor shows a lot of black it appears to have non-ending, transparent waves moving down towards the bottom. How do I fix this? My monitor is a bit old (Samsung...

    Looking for the best scanner under $100

    Hi guys. I need to a lot of scanning of book excerpts and documents. I need them look clear without fuzzy edges and stuff. Looking for a flatbed scanner that does its job smoothly and fast. It also need to be big enough to fit a school textbook. Thanks. Oh and I tend to avoid HP products.

    What's an alternative to buying a can of duster every so often?

    I guess I will go with Costco since I have a membership. But do they always have it in the stock?

    What's an alternative to buying a can of duster every so often?

    Buying a can of air isn't cheap. I think it's normal to pay from $5~8 a can and it doesn't last long. I was thinking about buying a air nozzle. Has any one had an experience with this? I would like to hear more about this or any other alternative option. Thanks.
