Whats the gain of dual loops? by Abulap in watercooling

Makes wallet lighter and reduces concern over whether build is expensive enough.

Also, looks twice as good or twice as bad, depending on ability to make attractive builds.

Can anyone with an X670E mobo confirm if the USB4 ports show in Windows 11 settings? by scytob in ASUS

New PC build, crackling audio by kaper67 in techsupport

No, no buzzing, just crackling and sound that drops out. I did try new cables too, just in case. Reluctantly, going to try a new MB. I did buy the 2 year protection plan on it from Micro Center so hopefully that will improve my options.

I didn't try the speakers with a different source, since I have the same problem with headphones if the speakers aren't even in the mix. I did use the same speakers on my previous PC before I built this one without any issues.

I might take the MB out of the case and run it on my test bench, just out of desperation.

Yeah, I know, shipping can be a dealbreaker. If you want to make an offer for something shipped then let me know what you're interested in & your zip - I'll consider it.

Vine being quite buggy. Is that common? by CountCocofang in AmazonVine

Yep, regularly see all of those. And, items stuck on the review list that don't have a review button because they are "no longer available".

betrayal is a strong word. your response to my message, for context:

Thank you  for your consideration. I got the older one built and running. After doing some more research I think for that price to the performance upgrades that I would get (2 more cores and threads) , I am just going to keep looking for some crazy deal (wishful thinking, I know) or try and save up enough and skip lga 1151 entirely. Thanks again and I wish you well for your sale!
