    PCIe Network Card Recommendations?

    PCIe Network Card Recommendations?

    Very helpful post, thank you. I've decided to purchase the Intel X550. It seems like the card has been around the block a time or two and generally seems to have favorable reviews. I'm purchasing new from Mouser: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Intel/X550T2?qs=gt1LBUVyoHn5EuxqxsnoEw%3D%3D...

    PCIe Network Card Recommendations?

I'm not sure what the current state is on network cards... Last time I remember reading a review of one it...

    What Linux OS do you use currently?

    I run POP_OS about 25% of the time right now. Once Windows 10 support ends I'll be making the switch full time.

    Computer not detecting new SSD

    Well, probably a user error in the end. I did end up returning the drive as I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but it might have just been Windows needed to initialize it? Haha. When I returned it to just buy a larger M2 drive, Windows also didn't detect the M2 drive until I went to Disk...

    Computer not detecting new SSD

    Hi all, Recently swapped my PC into a new case and with that added a new SSD (1TB) to replace an old one (500gig) that I gave to a friend. I am not detecting the new SSD in my system... not in BIOS, not in Windows, not in Linux (POP_OS). I've swapped the SATA cables, I've swapped SATA plugs...

    Headset recommendations for loud environment

    Hi all, Curious if anyone has any recommendations for a headset for a loud environment? Specifically, I am attending Quakecon next month and last year found my open-back Sennheiser HD599s let in a bit too much sound. I was really cranking the volume and it was really difficult to get the right...

    Reusing an old AMD motherboard (X370)

    Hi all, I have an ASUS Prime X370-Pro motherboard and a Ryzen 7 1700X I purchased in 2017 before upgrading in 2021. Since then, the components have just been sitting in my closet collecting dust, but I'd like to revive this build to give to a friend. As part of this, I'd like to upgrade the CPU...

    OptiScaler’s New Experimental Update Enables AMD FSR 4 in Cyberpunk 2077, FFVII REBIRTH, and More for Radeon RX 9070 Series “RDNA 4” GPUs

    Wouldn't people always lower resolution if they needed more performance? At least now if we're playing at 1440p we're not looking at a stretched 1080p resolution on a 1440p native screen but an upscaled 1080p image on a 1440p native screen.

    Mouse recommendations without the bloatware

    Hello! I've been working off a Microsoft Pro Intellimouse the past 5 years and it's been great, but the back/forward buttons are starting to wear down quite a bit. I've decided it's time for a new mouse. One of my main concerns with a new mouse is not the weight or shape, it's actually whether...
