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...
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...
Looking to get reliable 8TB external hard drive with fast write and read speed, to free some space from my internal drive. I will mainly use it to store large video and image files.

Hey guys,
Just repurposed my old gaming laptop into a HTPC and I am looking for recommendations for a good UHD 4K external Blu Ray drive that doesn't cost the earth.
Thanks in advance,

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...
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...
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...
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...
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+...

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...
