Hi Everybody, Yesterday I purchased an "economical to times" GPU till my Radeon RX 6600 XT gets back from MSI. After install the device seems mostly stable for processor and function; however, the fan is stuck on at 100% and neither the Asus GPU Tweak tool, GeForce software, or MSI afterburner see the fan running.

My wife and I came into the Micro Center in Rockville Maryland. I knew exactly what desktop computer I wanted after lots of online researching.

Having issues with my wifi?
I built a custom pc recently, and I'm starting to have issues with the wifi speed. I tried resetting the router, and I even checked the speed on other devices connected to the network and it was very fast. I uninstalled and reinstalled my wifi drivers, and I changed the speed of the network adapter from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz,…

Motherboard Low Power While Off
I just upgraded my motherboard from the AORUS B450 Pro WiFi to the MAG B550 Tomahawk, and I'm looking for a “feature” that was a part of my old B450 board, but that I can't seem to find in my new B550. The AORUS board maintained a kind of “low-power mode” even after I shut down the computer, enabling me to do things like…

Gigabyte board, i7, 64GB RAM (RipJaw DDR3-1600)
I brought a PC home from work that was (excessed--i.e., "who wants it?") after someone left. It was a custom build with a Gigabyte board, the fastest i7 at that time (~5 years ago), and it has 4 small RipJaw RAM cards (F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL) which are DDR-3-1600. A couple years ago, I removed the two spin-disks, installed a…

I do have PCIe 4 as I have a Asus ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING motherboard paired with an AMD 3900x. This 2tb SSD is about half full and is used as my main C: drive…

Power up issue?
Computer will turn on for 3ish seconds then turn off then return on. This will continue until I turn the switch off in the back. So far my solution to when this happens is to just randomly unplug and replug wires in until it works. Anyone else run in to this problem and have a solution for it?

How often do microcenters usually restock their GPU?
I’m looking to get a new GPU (3070) but there’s always out of stock. Curious if they get stock every week or how it usually works. I live about an hour and a half away so I’m tired of getting my hopes up.

Just a reminder to have a backup DP cable.
I just got my 3060 recently and was about return it. My VGA light on my Asus board kept coming on at random times and my monitor would never fully enter power save mode, it would go black but stay on with white lite around the edges. I finally bought a good DP cable 'Vesa Certified' and all my issues are solved.

I'm Bob sometimes known as Natural Bob in music circles.
One year after purchasing my HP Pavilion laptop I'm getting an email saying that my Norton Antivirus subscription was renewed, but we didn't order that. I don't know if calling the phone number will be a way to straighten this out or to get hooked by a phishing scheme. The message is coming from someone named Juvlein Wyatt.
