    What could be wrong with my brother's PC?

    Note that your link is priced in AED--that is about 32$ US. Can find same product for around $15 US. Here is another option from Noctua; Arctic Silver also makes another type. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZ4K67Y?tag=journeymanhq-20 Or you could just use coffee filters and 99% isopropanol...

    Regarding Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 and compatibility with certain boards due to tall m.2 heatsinks

    mamob I did request and receive alternate parts from Arctic a few years back. Something had changed in the block configuration and as you mentioned, Arctic said they would provide the correct parts at no charge. Contacted them and the parts were received back within 10-14 days. Am in the US...

    Monitor for reading text with progressive lenses

    I've had for years a pair of glasses strictly for computer use. The upper part is "mid-distance" I guess you'd call it for viewing the monitors. The lower part is bifocal for close reading and such. That way I can look at the monitor in focus and then look down to read an article or write...

    I realized yesterday This case is harder to pick up and move around than it was 14~yrs ago when I bought it.

    And the little pieces and parts are a lot harder to see now than they were 14-15 years ago.

    Windows isn't the best operating system anymore

    Multiple monitors! Killer to me on Linux. Two monitors were bad on Windows 7, 10. No go on Linux. Now have three monitors and Windows 11 is pretty slick with them. Cannot imagine trying them with Linux. That is the main holdup on trying Linux again. Is it easy to set up three monitors...

    Shopping for a new sub, ported or sealed?

    Also using the SVS SB 3000 in piano gloss finish. Lovely sub with great response and only moderately heavy--65 pounds shipped and 55 unpacked. That was a consideration as it had to come up a flight of stairs. Great apps and support by SVS.

    Anyone RMA or heard from Arctic Cooling lately?

    Have used the Liquid Freezer AIO in current build and a previous build. They have performed flawlessly. Also had to order some adapters for one of them for a different socket size. Arctic sent them without charge and within 7-10 days. Have also used several of their fans. Never any...

    To quote Dorothy Parker: "What fresh Hell can this be?"

    And how do I get rid of it. Saw this article a few minutes ago. More stuff to be added to Windows 11. https://www.theverge.com/games/892875/microsoft-xbox-mode-windows-11-gdc

    Old timers thread. How long have you been in the game?

    Got a TI99-4A c. 1983--decked out with all the stuff--external 8" floppies, telephone modem, voice module, amber on black monochrome monitor--"real mainframe stuff as one friend called it". Played a few of the early TI games hooked to a TV. It had a bitchy interface and shit keyboard...

    Any reason you shouldn't use XMP RAM on an AM5 build?

    Yes it is. Looked at that kit first then went with this one that is XMP and Expo. For the Crosshair X870-E Hero (new build). Verified it both from G.Skill and MB QVL. F5-6000J3636F32GX2-TZ5RK Just set yours to XMP and see what happens.
