question about PSU and heat inside a case by Yes[_2_]
Roughly, what percentage of the heat inside a case is generated by the PSU? Have manufacturers tried to move the PSU to a stand-alone external unit to reduce cooling requirements inside a case and/or provide more room for other stuff inside the case? These questions arose because I was looking at...

Where do old computers go to die? by Nil
I have 5 or 6 old computer carcasses in my basement. Most of them are AT form factor cases and motherboards, Pentium CPUs, small IDE disk drives. Obsolete stuff that I can't think of any use for. Most of them still work, or would with a little work. What should I do with this junk? I don't...

Windows 10? Who will upgrade from Win 8, from Win 7, from XP this month? by RayLopez99
I decided on my 'throwaway' PC, which I use for coding and gaming (for fun, not my day job), which is a modern quad core running Windows 8.1, I will upgrade to Win 10 later this month and for the first time I will not do a 'clean install' but 'upgrade'. I do this to take advantage of the 'free...

stupid PC needs reset to boot by [email protected]
I have an old Core 2 PC, which I have been keeping because it has a software package that can't be transferred to another machine. Now when I turn it on, just hear the DVD drive grunt. No beep, no monitor, no keyboard lights. But if I then hit reset button, behold it will boot okay. Tried removing...

Does Intel sell processors/chipsets without AMT/ME/SMM ? by Skybuck Flying[_4_]
Hello, Here a question from a girly (not me): Does Intel sell (recent) chipsets/processors without AMT/ME/SMM ? I like to add to that: Without JAVA/ThreadX/RTOS ? I think these technologies are unnecessary for home/desktop computers and form an unnecessary security/privacy risk !

Anything different backing up an SSD vs. an HDD with Macrium Reflect? by Brassplyer
I tried backing up a 240 gb SSD drive for the first time with Macrium and found that the image shows up as two partitions even though I never deliberately created two partitions. One is 100 mb the other is 223.47 gb. I recently did a reinstall of Win7 x64 Home Premium and downloaded various...

Mouse click no longer waking computer by Bill[_36_]
Recent problem. The Window 7 computer no longer wakes by mouse click. I have a Logitech g5 USB mouse. The power button does still wake the computer. I checked, and the option to "wake by mouse" is still selected. I haven't changed anything (myself)! I assume this may be due to a recent windows...

Anybody ever tried a GPT to MBR system disk conversion? by Larc[_3_]
There are apparently ways to do it without losing data. Several utilities claim the ability, AOMEI Partition Assistant for one. A friend has a Lenovo laptop with a GPT disk. It would be nice if he could reclaim the space used by the extra partitions needed for GPT. I made the switch with my...

(Skylake) Intel® Core i7-6700K (4.0 to 4.2 ghz 95 watts) vs Intel® Core i7-6700T (2.8 to 3.6 ghz 35 watts) by Skybuck Flying[_4_]
Hello, I was considering the T version of Intel's Skylake processor. However it seems unavailable, maybe/perhaps there is a reason for it. Maybe the T version is just not so great. What interests me about the T version is the low TDP of 35 watts. However the clock frequency is only 2.8 GHz per...

mainboard won't give memory range to PCI card by [email protected]
I had to setup a wireless network; I usually stick to ethernet cabling. Go through box of spare parts. Tried a D-link card, but Windows 7 does not support it. Apparently particular card will flip out to the BSOD if you force to use older XP/Vista drivers. Then try a TP-LINK, what is Win7...
