    Knoxtane's DELL OptiPlex 7060 SFF 2024 Build.

    So ever since I got into PC gaming/building I've always wanted to turn a Optiplex or some sort of Small Form Factor business PC into a gaming system. Well, seeing how my previous PC was a bit older and somewhat lacking in the CPU department with an i7-7700 and an Entry level RX 570 4GB Card. I...

    Your GPUs from the past ........

    First actual GPU Card I ever owned was a ASUS DUAL GTX 750 Ti 2GB card. This was my "first" gaming PC that I built at 20 years old, I was on a budget and it was early 2014 so the 900 Nvidia GeForce series hadn't been released yet and a GTX 760 was just a little too much money for me at the time...

    Question DDU or Fresh Windows install?

    Well, I got the RX 580 and it was a bust. Card didn't like more than one port at a time, while all "worked" the card had nothing but artifacts and permanent ghosting and none of it was fixed with a driver update and restart into safe mode. so I'll be returning that RX 580 and hopefully getting a...

    Question DDU or Fresh Windows install?

    I have cleaned the 1080 but not replaced the thermalpaste on it. I took it out of the case immediately after gaming on it and it was hot to the touch, it started to burn my fingers, not literally but it was that hot. I dusted the case, GPU and let it cool off, I set the fan curve to 100% while...

    Question DDU or Fresh Windows install?

    Hey all! I'm getting a "new" to me GPU, to replace my troubled GTX 1080 which was also used as I just can't afford a brand new GPU right now. My 1080 has been acting really weird and I'm not sure if it's the newer Nvidia drivers or just the age of the card or the fact I purchased it used...

    Linus Tech Tips (Linus Media Group) vs Gamers Nexus

    I've actually lost a lot of respect for LTT, LMG and all other subsidiaries BUT mostly with Linus himself, in his "response" posted on the LTT Forums he makes a lot of excuses, finger pointing and plays the Victim card. He completely F**ked over BilletLabs and he said "We didn't sell it we...

    Picked up Battlefield 2! (Yes, you read that right!)

    I was browsing eBay, bored at work and I thought to myself "Ya know, I've never owned a copy of one of the greatest war FPS games ever made for PC". So, I looked up Battlefield 2 NEW and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a BRAND NEW copy, still sealed in the original "EA Games" Blue security...

    Yeah, that one seems fine, price is pretty good, I looked at some reviews and everyone says its a good PSU, a few people complained about the cable quality but nothing major.

    Stuck in installation loop when trying to install windows on new build.

    If it's not listed as bootable it could be because it is partitioned wrong? I remember having an issue like this while trying to install Windows 11 on my Crucial P3 m.2 NVMe SSD paired with an i7-7700 which originally wasn't supported by Microsoft. See if you can reformat it to a different type...

    ASUS ROG G22CH

    Asus has launched a new PC in it's "G2X" Line-up. Now it's the G22CH. This entire system is seated in a 10L enclosure. While I was going to go for a more traditional build, I think this might be at the top of the list now, I've always been a fan of how ASUS handles their SFF machines with the...
