Thanks a lot for your 2 cents!!:happy: I agree that AM4 is the best way ahead right now... Although I am mighty tempted with the new architecture, I am not going to really need those features. No use getting greedy.. :hungover:. I hope the AM4 lasts me for 4 years, at least. Thanks to AM5, the...

Dang!... I think I am the only one replying to my own post!! :banghead::banghead:

Update : The Mobo is beyond repair as per the service guy. I have below options : 1. Buy a new B150 MOBO (if available for around 4-5K) and try to push the system for an year or two more 2.a. Move to a new Rig with an AMD 5600X and B550 mobo. Retain everything else from the old RIG. I hope...

Hey there... I thought of resurrecting this thread, as my MOBO is on her last legs.. I normally build a new PC after 5-6 years. the last build was in late 2016. I would like to go for AMD. I am highly tempted to go for the new AM5 CPU/ MOBO/ DDR5 RAM, instead of the well established AM4. The...

Thanks. :) I know Pixel 7 series is well above budget. However, please let me know if these ones work. I will be exchanging OnePlus 6T and that should boost my budget a bit. My sims are from Jio and Airtel.

Hi There Need your advice on Dual Active sim phones. I get too many phone calls during office hours and dual standby SIM is a challenge as one SIM gets deactivated during usage of the other sim. I had tried to use call forwarding; but it doesn't work sometimes. I am not looking to break my bank...

Thanks for all your responses. The situation arises to a new question from my side... Is it worth it to wait when 6 GHz will be freed up for personal use by Indian authorities or "normal" wifi 6 is good enough?

Hi All Can anyone confirm if the 6 GHz band WiFi 6E works in India or not? India is not listed in the web page of WiFi org. I am planning to buy a new router (TP-link Deco XE75). https://www.wi-fi.org/countries-enabling-wi-fi-in-6-ghz-wi-fi-6e Thanks and Regards.

Try AVShack website. They have a large collection. 30K is the starting point for amps. I am also planning to buy one... my ten year old Onkyo 5.1 HT has breathed its last.. I am going to use the existing speaker set (5.1). I have shortlisted Denon x1700H (7.1). I plan to connect a couple of...

Thanks for your replies... Funny thing is that the time was not getting reset.. and the problem vanished after two days.. no clue what happened.. Most probably the BIOS @lockhrt999 Or.. probably just a last ditch reminder from my PC to get an upgrade!!. :)

Hi there can anyone advice me regarding the below error. This is coming during start-up since yesterday. Once i press F2, normal boot is taking place. I didn't dare press F1 and check what happens.. :confused:.

I am late to see this comment. . is it on amazon? pl share details. thanks @GeeBee007

I did get a 2TB HDD.. but it conked off within the warranty period. Unfortunately I could not get a replacement as there were files in it that I had to retrieve.. BTW, I have bought a 6TG external HDD last year. I can use that for now, without investing in another SSD.

Thanks @cleo I understand that I will need to cut some corners.. :confused:.. Let me know your thoughts about any particular feature (Mobo or sound card etc.) which I might require for music mixing. On the SSD front, any particular one you would like to suggest? I would probably go for a better...
