Is it possible to get an extension for a front-panel HD Audio connector? The cable in this case is comically short and the cooler I want to install might make it impossible to reach the header on the motherboard.

Kikka posted:I recently bought a new HD monitor with a DVI-D in port. However, the output from my Nvidia graphics card is through a DVI-I to VGA adapter; am I getting the best available picture quality I can, or should I also purchase a DVI cable? Get a DVI-I or DVI-D cable, run it straight from your graphics card to your monitor with no adapters in between.

Earl of Lavender posted:Is it possible for bad RAM to cause a machine to hang for about thirty seconds to a minute and then power off, or does that sound more like PSU/CPU/mobo? There's an easy way to figure out if your RAM is failing - MemTest86+. Download the Auto-installer, run it, install it onto a USB drive, and boot from it. Let it run for at least one full pass. If it detects errors, it'll display them very prominently.

Temporarily in a living situation where wired 'net for my desktop isn't really practical - what's a decent wireless solution that won't break the bank? I'm only gonna be using it for a couple months, so I don't wanna go hog wild.

Let me know and I’ll make a thread in SA-Mart so everything is on the up and up. I'm European, so that's probably more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for the offer though!

I bought a 20TB hard drive because i never wanted to have to think about storage again. Anything that's sensitive to access speeds goes on the system SSD.

Running CrystalDiskMark on the HDD if you have it already will give you a good indicator of how fast sequential reads are (which will be what matters most for most larger games in that use case). And then the answer is just "faster internet than that".
