    External air-cooled graphics cards

    Has anyone ever designed a GPU to be in an external box or stand connected with a riser cable? They wouldn't have to worry about the dimensions or weight of the cooler since it's not fitting in a case. E.g. They could have a CPU type cooler on the GPU and small heat sinks for rest of the card...

    Is this the end of the internal high-end GPU?

    New high-end GPUs are hugely power-hungry. The 40 series is looking for 450W to 600W, maybe more. The form factor imposes considerable restrictions on cooling and noise control. This is a quandary. But we now have high bandwidth external connections like USB 4 and 100 Gb ethernet. So the...

    Can a Thinkpad Yoga S1 connect to a 5120x1440 external monitor?

    Okay, guys, I'm not specifically into gaming, an I'm not an expert in hardware---this is a simple question that I couldn't find an answer to: how do I know if a computer (laptop) is compatible to a given monitor? In other words, if it can actually use the high native resolution of the huge...

    USB External Hard Drive Randomly Disconnects

    I have recently upgraded my motherboard (second hand), CPU (second hand) and memory (new), however I am now having USB external hard drive problems which I didn't have before. I mostly use Teracopy to copy/move files, but since upgrading it fails most of the time on the verifying stage when I...

    Recommend a 5.25" to USB External Caddy?

    I've got a 5.25" optical drive that I use quite regularly to rip DVDs and BluRays, but I've just switched to a Mini ITX case without a slot. So I'm in need of an external caddy; there's plenty of Chinese products, or adapaters with questionable claims regarding powering a 5.25" optical drive...

    Boost performance on a gaming laptop 4k screen with HDMI dummy plug?

    Hi guys, I have a MSI GS73 8RF Stealth laptop which has an integrated Intel UHD 630 and a dedicated 1070 Max-Q GPU. What I noticed is when I plug in a HDMI cable and work on a 4k monitor on 60 Hz, everything is lightning fast. Unfortunately, that isn't the case when I'm using the laptop screen...

    Files missing after copying a folder to another HDD via new USB 3.0 card.

    Hello, I just installed a new USB 3.0 PCIe expansion card and was keen to see the lightning fast speed but unfortunately it appears no faster than the USB 3.0 on my Mobo. At best it reaches about 120 MB/s. External HDD's at least stay connected now which is something, but I just copied a 300+...

    Changing laptop 4k resolution when connected to external monitor?

    Is there any way of halving my laptops 4k res automatically when connected to my external monitor? The reason is that on my desk the laptop is further away so it's hard to see anything and I end up not using the laptop screen at all. But when used as a laptop rather than on my desktop, the...
