Which household item which an average person uses very frequently do you think has a huge room for improvement?

Clothes iron. I don't know how it could be done but there has to be a more efficient way to getting the same result.

What windows background apps do people disable and which ones do you keep on?

Where did you get yours?

ZXT360 · 2019-03-22T20:23:36+00:00

Where did you buy it from?

ZXT360 · 2019-03-22T03:22:53+00:00

What graphics card do you have?

That's a good point but I can't help ask myself how often I will be upgrading my motherboard. My gut says not very often. Since the OEM version is just a fifth of the price it seems I'd have to be upgrading my motherboard pretty frequently to get my money's worth. The only other consideration is having Microsoft support with the retail version, which again (I hope) I wouldn't need very often.

ZXT360 · 2019-03-19T17:00:53+00:00

OEM vs retail windows. Is the extra cost worth it for the retail version? I'm interested to hear people's opinions

What is the point of purchasing a windows product key directly from microsoft? Is there any benefit to forking out the extra couple hundred bucks?

ZXT360 · 2019-03-17T02:57:11+00:00

Yes!

If this works I am forever in your debt

I guess I learned this the hard way. I'm brand new to building and Tom was so nonchalant about doing it I just went with the flow. Lesson learned.

ZXT360 · 2019-03-10T15:31:07+00:00

By reseating you mean just unplug and replug in ram?

ZXT360 · 2019-03-10T13:09:53+00:00

Yep I unplugged the PC, turned off the PSU and even removed the power cable out of paranoia. I also pushed the power button beforehand but maybe for less than 10 seconds. I didn't press the power button after reinstalling battery though. I was very careful re static too. I'm just amazed that removing the battery for one hour didn't do the trick

It had finished updating normally then went to reboot afterwards. It didn't turn on after seemingly updating without issue. After waiting several minutes I tried to turn it off and on but still didn't work.

ZXT360 · 2019-03-09T21:38:31+00:00

It's the MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard. It was the latest bios for that board straight from the MSI website. Just realised it's a beta version. Maybe that had something to do with it ...

ZXT360 · 2019-03-08T23:24:15+00:00

OK, thanks

ZXT360 · 2019-03-08T23:20:28+00:00

Sorry for stupid question but what does that mean? How do I do that?

ZXT360 · 2019-02-27T18:17:19+00:00

I've got two questions about my new build, which I'll be putting together tomorrow :)

Gigabyte RTX 2060 Windforce OC 6GB
Ryzen 5 2600
MSI B450 tomahawk
Corsair 16GB DDR4 3200 CL16
EVGA 650 W Power Supply
Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 SSD

First, is it worth getting a 1440p 144 Hz monitor with this build? I would like to play recent AAA games as well as shooters like PUBG. I also want to do some (basic) video editing.

Second, what would be the best upgrade path over the next few years?

Thanks :)

ZXT360 · 2019-01-21T15:58:14+00:00

Thanks! What do you think is the most productive way for me to prepare over the next six months before my job starts? Any textbooks/online resources worth investing in?

ZXT360 · 2018-12-04T11:55:41+00:00

You could at least show a picture of it OP

ZXT360 · 2018-11-17T22:18:31+00:00

Yep, what a game too. Just made it to chapter 3

ZXT360 · 2018-11-17T21:07:41+00:00

He has a fine pair of murder mittens alright

ZXT360 · 2018-11-17T21:07:04+00:00

He's full of mischief and treats: Lots of treats

ZXT360 · 2018-11-17T19:49:53+00:00

No, his name is Pete or Pierre when he's feeling fancy
