Re: UPS Backup device

I'm on my 2nd UPS, last one batteries leaked, so bought this one a few months back. Like it but don't like the loud "beep" when it's powered on / off. It can be disabled only be turning off all sound notifications. https://www.newegg.com/cyberpower-cp1500avrlcd-nema-5-15r/p/N82E16842102048

Re: New X570 Build - A Couple Of Questions

Thanks for the reply DJ Tucker . As you can tell by my current set up in my signature, I tend to build something and hang on to it for a while. Been 10 years since the build in my signature and it's still running fine, so splurging for a 3900X seemed logical, not to mention I got it on sale last wee...

New X570 Build - A Couple Of Questions

I'm building a new system using a MSI Meg X570 Unify mobo & Ryzen 3900X. For the first time ever I'm using a NVME M2 storage device, specifically a Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB. Do I install the 970 in the M2 slot closest to the CPU socket to take advantage of CPU controller or the 3rd slot closest to...

Re: Dumb Question about IPod Touch

Yes you can move any MP3 over from your PC to iPod, iPad etc....I think you're stuck using iTunes to to it, I've read up on other programs but haven't tried them, I just use iTunes to load my iPod up.

Yeah, I was a bit apprehensive posting a response to somebody with only one post. Now that I see all the spam replies, I won't do it again.

Re: Windows 7 update 2823324

Re: SSD Caught Fire at SATA Power Plug

That sucks, hopefully there was no other damage to your place. I had something similar happen years go with a floppy drive that I didn't get the IDE and power plugged in correctly. Melted down the cables, floppy drive and mobo.
