    Fitting M.2 2260 in 2242/2280 Slot?

    I think that the answer you're looking for is theoretically yes. If the connector is the same (Either type M or B) there is no firmware or software issues that would prevent you from running any size in any slot. That said, if you don't have a solid way to hold down the drive, it could very...

    High End Gaming Audio/Headset Help

    The one thing I would advise, is that if you've never tried a decent set of open back headphones for PC gaming, see if you can find a way to try a set out before making a purchase. I'd never go back to closed headphones for PC again. Also, don't pay any attention to any "Gaming" features. A good...

    Rechargeable Lithium AA/AAA?

    Just so happens I researched this myself for a project recently. So, not really. I mean, there do exist lithium cells in the same form factor as AA and AAA batteries (called a 14500), but there are a few issues. Firstly, the chemistry of a lithium ion cell makes it 3.7v rather than the 1.5v of...

    Intel Core i9-9900K Review Comment Thread

    I think I'll be in the same boat. Wasn't overly impressed with the X299 platform, so held off upgrading then. Rather than get an 8700k I waited to see what Intel would do to compete with the AMD chips, and it turns out not much. That said, my MOBO just lost all fan headers and some USB ports...

    Potheads 🌿 Cannabis IQ

    I don't use it myself, but I have no problem with anyone else using it as long as they're not driving or working in a safety critical job while inebriated (Same parameters as alcohol, but yes, testing is much more difficult). I believe that a lot of countries will soon follow suit and legalize...

    Which option should I choose?

    Honestly it depends on how much you want to spend and what your personal qualifications are for "high quality" for the headphones and mic. As others have said, skip over most of the "Gaming" branded stuff. No sense paying for bright colours, BS surround features, wireless, etc. To be completely...

    what DAC, AMP, Speakers & Headphones do you have?

    Upped my speakers and cans recently. After having tried lots of headphones, I wanted to go with the Sennheiser 660s, but then the 6xx Massdrop came up again earlier this year. It was too hard to justify an extra $380 for the bump in quality, So I went with the 6xx. Picked up a Schiit Jotunheim...

    what do you use for knives?

    Bought and sold quite a few knives before settling on the Misono UX10 series. A 9.5" chef knife and a 5" petty knife cover 95% of everything I do. 59-60 HRC, slight asymmetrical grind on the chef knife, excellent edge retention. For sharpening these and nicer pocket/utility knives, I primarily...

    The Happy thread!

    That's exactly how mine is as well. Only time I can see it is lights off with black on the screen. Unfortunately that's a somewhat common scenario with 16:9 sidebars.

    Recomended Laptops for work

    Consultant in the patch as well. For work, performance isn't really a factor at all, integrated graphics are more than adequate, but having an SSD obviously makes a world of difference. No requirement for explosion proof or anything like that. I'd just go with whatever mid tier, reliable laptop...

    New Jurassic Park Game

    Bought it and played 8 hours, 40% complete. I love Jurassic Park and have always loved games like sim city, sim theme park world, zoo tycoon etc., etc. However, this game is incredibly repetitive, boring, not terribly challenging, and I think I'm probably done with it. IMO, it's ok for a $25...

    AutoCAD Specific Build

    I've been doing quite a bit of messing around in Solidworks and Fusion 360 the last decade. I see as much as 70% CPU, 30% GPU, and 10GB memory usage on my current (old CPU, new GPU) system. Worst case scenario is quickly rotating complex objects, or rendering complex scenes. Cad software doesn't...

    What music subscription service are you using?

    Spotify. Shared with 5 other people (Immediate family members who live at the same address of course, not just me and 5 random friends.........) works out to $2.62 / mo / person after tax. I work out of cell service a lot of the time, but I've downloaded about 3 dozen playlists that I like to...

    GPU Baking still a Thing?

    Just as likely to be a drivers / windows thing as anything. In my experience, PCB/solder issues tend to manifest as artifacting, crash at full load, or complete failure. Throwing the card into another system is the easiest way to check. That said, I've baked 3 or 4 cards successfully including a...

    Do you use a VPN?

    Been using expressVPN as it works with torrents and US netflix. Would like to find a cheaper alternative that supports these activities as it is $8.32 USD/m.

    Using liquid metal thermal compound to reduce laptop temps

    So basically, I've never really gamed too much on my laptop, but have been starting to do it more recently. It does get quite warm and loud however, so I wanted to try to reduce the temps a bit. I bought some Grizzly Conductonaut and gave it a shot. This is an MSI GT72 with a 6700HQ and a 980m...

    Euro Trip Ams-Bud-Muc

    Spent 6 weeks in Europe a couple of years ago, a month of that was in The Hague for work. Really nothing too surprising to be honest. Transportation is easy and cheap, though the conversion rate is a bit painful at the moment. The one thing that was really helpful was getting a Euro sim card...

    Hard Tube to a Bay Reservoir?

    This. Depending on your exact reservoir, you likely won't be able to top fill if the res is in the uppermost bays. If you have it in bays 2/3 or below, no problem to fill it with the front panel off. If you absolutely want it in the top bays, you may be able to fill it with some difficulty if...
