    Need some hub or switch advice please.

    Just a follow up here as I'm about to order my 24-port switch. I see two Netgear unmanaged 24-port switches on Amazon. Is there a compelling reason to go with the more expensive one? The cheaper one gets tons of good reviews on Amazon and it looks like it would do the trick. I'm guessing the...

    Need some hub or switch advice please.

    Thanks again for your help Eulogy. That helps a ton! At least now I have some guidelines to shop for and have a little better idea what I'm looking for. Thank you!

    Need some hub or switch advice please.

    Thanks Eulogy :) Much appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't have much choice in how the CAT6A is terminated, run, or set up. The home is being built out of state in a small community so there are simply not any network professionals that I could subcontract. I know that having electricians run...

    Need some hub or switch advice please.

    My home builder is nearing completion of a new home for my family. He has wired each room with CAT-6A (Around 12-14 cables) to terminate in the utility room of my basement. He said its up to me to purchase a switch or hub to plug all those rooms into. Unfortunately I'm a complete novice with...

    Thermal Paste for 5800X3D?

    Thanks for the replies so far. I should edit the above to add that using any pre-applied stuff isn't an option as this is a CPU swap and remount, rather than a brand new cooler with pre-applied paste and a new CPU.

    Thermal Paste for 5800X3D?

    I'm about to mount a 5800X3D. Cooling is a 360 AIO (Z73). I've got two unopened syringes of thermal paste sitting here: 1) Kingpin KPX 2) Noctua NT-H2 What is your opinion? Which do you think I should use? Which have you had good experiences or bad experiences with? ETA - This is a CPU...

    Any RTX 4090 vs Lian Li O11 Dynamic?

    Looking to upgrade from a 3090 to a 4090 and trying to figure what will fit in my case. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with stuffing an RTX 4090 in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Case? (The original O11 Dynamic, not the EVO or Mini or any of the other offshoots). On PCPartsPicker I see a...

    Swap 5950X for 5800x3d?

    Thanks everyone for chiming in. There are quite a few threads here, and other places, about some gaming advantages to the 5800x3d and even a few comments of switching from a 5900x or 5950x to a 5800x3d. Especially in MSFS 2020. However, I figured I'd pop in here and see if anyone had done...

    Swap 5950X for 5800x3d?

    Built a new system about a year and a half ago (May 2021) for flight sims (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & DCS) & gaming. For flight sims I use only VR. For non-flight sim games I use a monitor. AMD 5950X ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero GeForce RTX 3090 Over the past year and a half the...

    Need advice on getting some more performance from 5950X

    Thanks Vengance_01 Got it. Just a couple follow ups and then I think I'm set to give it a go! What duration do you set the test for? 1 Hour total? Or 1 Hour per Core (16 Hours on a 5950X)? Are you selecting all physical cores in the advanced thread box and then testing them all at once...

    Need advice on getting some more performance from 5950X

    Vengance_01 Just wondering exactly which type of CPU test and exactly which options you set in OCCT? I'm new to it and just watched a few videos and did some reading on the options available, but wanted to know which options to set to follow your advice and exactly what a 1-hour test consists...

    Need advice on getting some more performance from 5950X

    I'm pretty new to MSFS 2020 so am still tweaking and fiddling and trying to figure out what FPS feels "ok" and what is just too much of a slideshow to enjoy. That said, I've been working off the following settings: HP Reverb G2: Set Render Scale to 100% via OpenXR Tools for WMR in windows...
