I am going to bid you all farewell. Good luck in your gaming future. And remember, if it isnt fun, it isnt a game. -danthegamer

*sigh* corrected. I dont use W A S D. Better not ask me why my way is better. Options be da... mmm... diggity...dog...darnit...

It means its time to throw the steaks on! j/k If the smell is commensurate with the demand, you have a problem. 'cooking off' is not something I have noticed much in my 472 years of PC experience. In fact with most electronics in general. For several reasons many PCB's are 'washed' (not with...

sounds like a ground loop. or frequency buzz. in either case oscillation is the culplit. for giggles you could toggle 'spread spectrum'

VOLUME is the requirement, not type. DDR/3/4/5 this is generally tied to the design of your motherboard, and is unlikely to be changed. That I recall, I have not seen a game that states "You must have DDR4 to play this title" (that doesnt mean there isnt one) What they do is throw down a...

so please explain what your 'deal' exactly was with the 'professional'? Thats important "I got told the fens were too tight and they cracked something" huh? Splain that to me.

Check the simple things first: bad cables, sockets. which are the MOST LIKELY problems. clean your drivers out, reinstall. cant hurt. on the PC: black screen what pops to mind is GPU/CPU temps memory temps system/graphics. If you have an older card check if it was affected by ballgrid array...

I have been busy this winter clearing acres of my land, but I have made time for some stress reducing gaming. Two very good games in particular I have been playing are Grounded, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. Grounded is reasonably new, but I think I picked up Horizon a few years back, and never...

@BRIAN We are saying the same thing I think, though in a different way. I wasnt suggesting they want to sell hardware, to turn a profit per se; rather that once you own the hardware you buy the games that work on that platform. That is the hook If you own 5k worth of playstation games, what is...

Microsoft has a long tradition of 'If you cant beat 'em, buy 'em' (or sue 'em) I think this is terrible. MS sees the writing on the wall: MS is not the only option for OS. Sure other OS'es have been around for ages, but I think Googles Android is beating their brains out on devices. And I...

no offense but I expect about 10yrs (or close) service, liquid cooled of course. With todays prices I would expect to put 1500 into a graphics card and another 500 to put it on liquid. Mb what 4, 5 hundy? Ram 4 hundy? CPU 800 probably at least 5. My last build spec is somewhere, but badly...

Need new hardware to play FC6. My equipment quite dated. Long story, sometimes it has been about money. Est cost 5-6k, and I was getting sued for a long time (2yrs), then audited by the IRS, so I just put it off. But mostly, and I cant stress this enough, Im really busy. How busy are you,? You...

Well I own Far Cry 6, but cant play it HA! Finally got around to ARK Survival evolved YUCK!

To you first question, that depends, lets make an assumptions: you build an 'enthusiast' level PC about a '7' on a 1-10 scale. One should get about 5 years no questions. One can usually squeeze 2.5-5 years out. Mostly this depends on your willingness to lower graphics/resolutions. Typically...

@Pifanjr Sweet :) Sorry I forgot to reply to Shodan_ I was soo tired I went to bed early. I have run through Below Zero 3 times I can recall. I have not played the original subnautica in at least a year probably more. I may have a look again if they have added some stuff. Even though it was...
