Sim racing gear
First of I want to thank MicroCenter for starting to stock higher end sim racing gear. My question is, why isn’t any of it displayed in the store? My store is Sharonville Ohio and if you didn’t look online you wouldn’t know they stock simCube, or the higher end rigs just to name a couple things.

This is my first issue.…

Reserving GPU
Given how few and far between Micro Center stores are, it seems like it should be possible to reserve a GPU. I realize that people line up before the store opens, but I would venture to guess that an hour after the stores open, those people have gotten what they were waiting for. When you live over two hours away, driving…

*New Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Master z690* I just got my PC back from the Micro Center shop and they advised me that I would need to do a fresh Windows install (which I expected because I switched chipsets).

Is this how this works?
My daughters purchased a refurbished HP laptop from Micro Center around February of this year. She tried using it a couple days ago and it wouldn't boot up. After going through all the diagnostics we could find, it cant access the OS on the hard drive. I might be wrong, but shouldn't a refurbished laptop have all factory…

Conference Room Computer
I'm looking for a CPU to be dedicated to our conference room to run video meetings. I don't need a monitor or keyboard necessarily, but something that will allow for 1-7 people to join by video and a presenter and it maintains video (not frozen). It can't be too expensive, but I'm open to some suggestions/ideas. Thank you

Would a WiFi or Internet radio give me better reception? We're having a hell of a time with it.
Hi. I'm new to this site and am hoping that it will help me expand my tech knowledge as I age. I was an early adopter of the Mac for graphic design use in 1985 and still use a fair amount of tech in my present teaching job. I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge and hope to catch up.

Will a DDR5 motherboard support all DDR5 RAM, no matter the MHz? (further explanation below)
I was able to get my hands on a DDR5 MB and RAM recently. After the upgrade, I’m having trouble getting the PC to post. I googled my symptoms and they mostly pointed towards improper GPU installation (which I was able to rule out), or RAM issues. I singled out the DIMMS to see if one of them was bad to no avail… then I…

Speeds: WD 12TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive HDD, USB 3.0, Compatible with PC, Mac, PS4 & Xbox
• I just purchased this drive. I reformatted as Mac Extended Journaled and created 3 partitions. • I use Carbon Clone for backup. I started a backup set for my 6TB drive (3.5TB used). • 21 hours later only 2.5 TB has been backed up to the WD. This seems painfully slow - even for a first backup. Question: Is this normal for…
