A funny thing happened on the way to build my server - a great deal on a combo.
The original plan was to put the Dell motherboard and Xeon combo in the HP case and build me server around that. Then I thought I'd just swap out the motherboard for something with more SATA ports and less messages during post. What a rabbit hole this is turning out to be. #i54430 #asus #B85

What started out as taking a look at how one game played on #Minimum Specs turned into a bit of a comparison video. I look at #Halo infinite and #Battlefield 2042, to see which one, if either will allow you to play on the minimum specs listed by the developer.

Tiptoeing through #affiliate programs you barely understand is bound to cause confusion and even a bit of stress, but what do you do when you get that email that says you no longer qualify. I got that email from #Amazon. Let's go over what happened and what I plan to do next.

It started out being a simple test to see how much faster a 2TB #Samsung #SSD would be loading games than my current WD #MyPassport. Well, that didn't work out like I planned. So, I tested several hard drives to see what some of the differences were, and as usual, I was surprised.

Sometimes you have to leave well enough alone. The AG400 tower cooler from DeepCool was working well unless I ran a CPU benchmark like Cinebench R23. I would get the red CPU light on the motherboard and the CPU would throttle slightly. My score was still good, but I thought I could do better. Then again, maybe not. #deepcool #corsair #AIO

A few months ago #BestBuy created their 'Total Tech' program to 'help' everyone be able to get #PS5 consoles and have preferred tech assistance. Now the same pay wall includes #NVidia founder's Edition GPUs. And they are the ONLY widespread retailer that carries them. Could you be any shadier?
Very recently I have actually praised Best Buy for how they have been doing business, especially when stores like Fry's Electronics are failing. Now, I have to rethink all of that. Maybe it's a good thing the Crypto Currency market is waning and we may be getting a lot of well priced used options.

I get to take my first look at a set of DeepCool fans that connect to each other instead of a hub or controller. That means less cable mess and cleaner looking builds. The FC120's are a set oof 1800RPM Hydrobearing fans that have rubber grommets on the screw holes for cutting down vibration and noise and the RGB connects straight to your Motherboard!
Looking forward to building with them.

Today I am trying one of the many ways to convert a Master Boot Record drive to the required GUID Partition Table format to be able to download and start using Windows11. The method I am using is from #Microsoft and is one of the suggested methods when moving to #Win11 from 10. How hard is it to convert from #MBR ?
