What's a good AIO replacement? in Desktops ·
No, no, you need to optimize the power draw in the BIOS. Lower the voltage. I don't know if you're actually comfortable messing around in the BIOS settings yourself, so just let me know the temps once you've tried.

JPMorgan Chase: What are your experiences? in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
I’d love to see if they can actually pull any crowds, though I don't even bank with JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo myself. It's hard to imagine attracting anyone when every other major bank is sitting there offering pathetic interest rates of 0.2% or less.

The savings rate for USD or Euros is set at 0.50% for the first year, then bumps up to 1.50% for the following 12 months.
Best gaming PC builds for around $800 - $900? in Desktops ·
For $600, you could squeeze in a Ryzen 5 3600 and a Gigabyte card for $650 plus an extra cooler.

What kind of prices were you looking at? Cash deals usually run lower.

Ryzen 5 3600 $496

MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX, AM4, ATX $283

GSkill Aegis 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3000MHz $150

Gigabyte GF GTX1660Super Gaming, 6GB $650

KINGSTON A2000 500GB SSD, M.2 2280, NVMe $156

Enermax 500W MaxPro II $127

Zalman S2 Midi-Tower ATX $93

Ugh, maybe $850 with the Ryzen 5 3600, and that's excluding the monitor.

I’ve never just bought an entire rig from one single shop. I go wherever makes sense—wherever it's cheapest or where there's a decent sale. But whatever.

Why on earth wouldn't you go with a Ryzen 5 3600? Instead, they're charging $167 more. Ridiculous.

And say we have to use this specific retailer.

They completely forgot the CPU cooler?? Unbelievable.

Ugh, I almost never post in this thread, but here we go.

So you're looking at a 3600/x versus a 9600k? Honestly, I’d just wait for the new Intel chips—you know, those AMD processors coming out later this year. And why on earth do you need a 1200W power supply? That's overkill. A 550W or 650W Corsair modular unit is plenty. Also, skip the HDD entirely. Just grab two 512 GB SSDs, or maybe one 1 TB and one 512 GB. If your budget allows, just go with two 1 TB drives. As for the GPU, any graphics card will work with any motherboard, but you didn't even mention what kind of monitor you're using! What's the resolution? If you're trying to push anything higher than 1080p, you're going to need a much beefier graphics card.

ironseal8 said:This is total nonsense. You're much better off just grabbing some dumbbells and a barbell set.

If you can swing an adjustable bench and some rack stands too, then you're actually set.

I’m with ironseal8 on this one, but honestly? I'd still grab the machine. It's got a lat pulldown, chest presses, curls—all that. What are you going to do for back with just a bar and some weights? Sure, you can do bent-over rows or deadlifts, but that's it. No lat machine, no pull-downs, and zero pull-up options. Just limited.

Just plug your drive into another PC and back up everything, or just reinstall Windows without wiping your files.

Arthur Richardson26 said:Hey,

Can someone please point me toward a shop that actually stocks the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 with yellow switches? Layout doesn't matter.

Thanks

I’ve been hunting for this exact keyboard too. First off, the price is ridiculous. Plus, I absolutely need the US English layout with specific engravings.

Best Buy, Staples, Protis—none of them have what I want. They might offer custom engraving, but then you're looking at an extra $150 just for the service. Amazon has the right layout, but they make you jump through hoops if you want to pay in installments.

This looks like the cheapest option I can find in the States, assuming you don't care about the missing markings and a measly one-year warranty instead of the standard two years everyone else offers.
Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) in Movies ·
Yeah, I really hope this is finally the end. Honestly, the whole thing feels just as messy as the Divergent series—you know, Allegiant and all that nonsense. The first movie was decent enough, I still remember it, but the second one felt like they were just wandering aimlessly through some random building at the end. It’s been three years since the last installment, so let’s be real: most of us have already forgotten half the plot from the first two anyway.

Issues connecting PC to Smart TV wirelessly? in IT Support ·
Of course there's Wi-Fi, what do you think this is, your living room?

http://www.philips.com/c-p/42PFL6007K...specifications

Wireless connectivity
WiFi certified

As far as wireless goes, just try typing the IP directly into the TV. I once had to hardwire my PC straight to the set just so I wouldn't miss a single second of a football game while streaming.
13 Hours: The Siege of Benghazi (2016) in Movies ·
Anthony Kim37 said:I don't really get why they didn't just start by hitting them with mortars before sending in the infantry. I mean, everyone was armed to the teeth, and they surely had enough mines to just level the whole place. If they’d just brought in a few combat vehicles and started hammering them with heavy machine guns from every single side, the Americans wouldn't have stood a chance. Instead, a hundred people died because they decided to charge a fortified building across open ground. I just don't follow the strategy here. It also doesn't make sense to me why the Americans didn't just use a drone when they had everyone in their sights. It seems incredibly illogical, honestly.

Exactly. Either that, or why they just stopped hitting them with mortars instead of leveling the entire area.
Sleepy Hollow (Before I Wake) 2016 in Movies ·
To felt more like a fantasy flick than a horror movie to me. What kind of horror even is this? It’s an alright movie, though.
If someone asks me for my take on that movie, I'll tell them I can't even remember the plot properly. It was some watered-down version of *Gladiator*. Got a 6/10 on IMDb—just something you watch once and immediately forget about.
The Last Witch Hunter (2015) in Movies ·
Jacob Torres93 said:I actually liked it. Just what I needed—Vin Diesel kicking ass and playing that untouchable tough guy role.
The CGI holds up, and the plot is decent enough. Honestly, I don't get why the critics trashed it so hard. The ending was a bit dumb, but I won't spoil it for you.
If you're a Vin Diesel fan, just watch it.

I was wondering before watching why people said the ending was stupid. Watched it yesterday and, like I thought, it's a 6/10. If you think that ending counts as "dumb," then yeah, it’s a solid 2/10.

Frank Chase6 said:Even the trailer looks dull and completely cookie-cutter. I don't get why they keep churning out these same old movies.

Yeah, I'd give it a 6/10 at best.

Boring movie. Total snooze fest.
TV won't recognize external hard drive in Hardware ·
nimbleskipper5 said:So, how did you format the drive??
If I remember correctly, most TVs and video players over USB only recognize FAT partitions, not NTFS. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

ps.
swiftridge40, you're so clueless I can practically see right through you.


You're wrong. It reads NTFS just fine. My SanDisk 640GB drive is plugged straight into my Smart TV... maybe 3GB is just too much for it? Is there even a 3GB 2.5" external drive available for purchase anymore?? Honestly, the moment I see an external drive that requires its own power supply, I run the other way.
