The RGB Case Fan (Powerspec G434) with Lian Li label on the back of the PC is going out.
The back case fan is going out. It is randomly slowing down, making noise as it slows down. I tried finding a replacement fan on Amazon and struck out 2 times. It appears the case fans use all 4 pins for both power and the RGB function. The only ones I found online that specifically said they were PWM RGB LED 12V and FAN…

AMD Build for development
Hello, I'm a software engineer looking to build a PC. I'll be running Linux (Mint) as the OS. I do not do gaming. The biggest load the PC will experience is embedded Linux builds. These will usually utilize all available cores to parallelize the compile. These can last 1-2 hours (depends). I have some specs I know I need,…

Decent Build?
I've been wanting to build a pc for a while now and I am about to pull the trigger. I put this together, I'm in my budget but I'm not sure how well it will look and perform.

Micro Center! Las Vegas Needs You!
Hi there! Not much rhyme or reason for this post, but I recently built a new PC after not building one for a couple of years. It just occurred to me that after Fry's Electronics closed a couple of years ago, we no longer have a mainstream dedicated store for selling computer hardware. I basically had to resort to buying…

Has anyone else had this many issues regarding a repair/diagnostic?
I brought my PC in like.. three weeks ago or so for a diagnostic. The first time around wasn't so bad honestly, in about 3 days they told me the GPU was bad, so I picked it up, bought a new GPU, and plugged it in. The new GPU didn't fix the problem though and I got the same error on my motherboard, so either the new GPU…

Future plans for Washington State?
We've not had a tech center in our region for our shopping needs ever since the infamous implosion of a certain chain. The closest thing we have is Best Buy, which carries absolutely nothing. Many of us enthusiasts have to rely on web shopping for anything, which leads to a bit of scamming, inflated pricing, etc. I for…
