    Budget 21-30k CPU advice

    It is quite an adventure to try a 5900X on that board. It will work, but it won't perform optimally over time. Better to go for a 5700X.

    Budget 0-20k Good budget mAtx board for R5600x?

    For your requirement, I'd suggest ASRock B550M Steel Legend..... And yes, for good performance, use a half-decent Air Cooler or a smaller AIO.

    Wi-Fi Cards: Intel 9260, Intel 9560, Intel AX200, Intel AX201 and Mediatek MT7921

    MT7921 Wi-Fi 6 M.2 adapter installed and fully functional in Intel 10th gen platform, so if you all are looking at whether the newer chips would be compatible with older boards, the answer is yes. For the record, these chips are intel only - won't work with an AMD motherboard/CPU: Intel AC-9560...

    Beware: Avast and AVG are officially snoopware!

    Webroot is a bad product. Good luck. It's also basically useless without a 24/7 Internet connection.

    Beware: Avast and AVG are officially snoopware!

    Well, I use some computers with paid versions of AVG/Avast. The paid versions snoop a lot too. You'll get random alerts that your IP address is visible, please get VPN. You may open gmail one fine day and AVG/Avast will alert you to add the email signature for "peace of mind" for your friends...

    FS: Desktops Price Drop : Intel Core i5 6600K + Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3

    That means I'll pretty much have to spend a lot on heatsink + RAM. Might be worth it to just buy new CPU + Mobo combo then. Let me think about this.After some consideration, I think deal's off - I'll just buy a new one. I don't plan on OCing much as I will not be using the rig, and it seems...

    Any experiences with Cashify?

    They are good, but keep their contact number handy. They run their operation through franchisees. If the vendor who comes to your house offers a lower valuation, call cashify and explain the situation. They will then give you a whatsapp number where you can send the phone pics. Their own agents...

    Game collection discussion (Physical copies only).

    If I remember correctly, in India you have the "official" distributor's versions which are barely have anything than a card and discs, and you have those "Eastern European/Asian imports" which usually come in DVD casing but do include full manuals and occasionally some freebies too.

    At least till 2019 there will be 5 as Idea/Vodafone will initially operate under separate brands "for customers" (i.e. one company, two brands). This is already announced.

    FS: Desktops Price Drop : Intel Core i5 6600K + Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3

    Hmm, I might be interested, but I am not currently in Mumbai. I can update you on whether I am still interested in about 10 days if you don't sell it off by then..... Questions: 1) Do I need to change the CPU cooler combo or add new thermal paste? 2) Anything else I should be looking out for...

    [WIP] Disruptions in the Telecom Segment in India

    RCOM - 599 (later 499) - FIRST plans to include roaming outgoing + incoming free [Called as One India One Rate, Later Freepaid]. I kept my number on RCOM for years due to this as I was travelling frequently between states (still do). What was even better was that you could latch on to Tata...

    Poll: Porting to Jio

    It's not required, though the donor operator may request to speak to the original owner on the phone when they call you before they finally accept your port request to recipient operator (postpaid only, AFAIK prepaid doesn't have ANY such thing). Should have waited, excellent plans are coming...

    Jio : New Plans & Even more data (2017)

    ^Jio Prime may be extended but I doubt it's going to stay forever. It's a way to raise ARPUs AFAIK. A good chunk of non-Prime Jio users are also going to stay anyway, so I expect RJio to be as big as RCom subscriber-wise (or very close). Most of the competitors are focusing their efforts on...

    Anil Ambani-led RCOM and Aircel to complete $6-billion merger by June End

    No word on this particular topic by RCom internal employees. They say that those employed with ADA group will remain ADAG group employees and because the Reliance brand is strong in some circles they might keep both brands active, or allow a smooth transition into Aircel. Everything is...
