    What is pcstudio.in like?

    I read somewhere, maybe in a TE forum thread, that pcstdio.in is legit. What I'd like to know is what they are like to deal with. Many Indian sites, although not outright scammers and cheaters, are very frustrating to deal with. Some of them list products they don't have without showing that...

    Fair price for a GTX 970 4GB?

    Someone has asked to buy my old Asus Strix GTX 970 4GB. It has no issues. I'll clean it thoroughly, repaste it and give him a testing warranty. What would be a price that's fair to both sides?

    About Colorful and Inno3D products

    I'm not a gamer and have only a broad general idea of the GPU market. I just do some research when it's time to buy one, mostly for others. I've long noticed that products by brands like Colorful and Inno3D are usually cheaper than those of the big names like EVGA, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, Zotac...

    Computech and Mehtabrothers not shipping, not responding

    Most of my online purchases of computer hardware over the past 15 years or so have been without any major hassle. But it seems the latest two are going to be different. The two shops involved are computechstore.in and mehtabrothers.in. I enquired about these two sites here at TE before ordering...

    WTB USB 3 Type E header to Front C port

    My motherboard has a USB type E header for connection to a front Type C socket but my cabinet doesn't have a Type C front port. Amazon has Type E to Type C connectors but they start from about 1k upwards. I think this is too much. AliExpress has them for as low as $1 (INR 84). If our countries'...

    OS partition size for Windows 10/11

    How big is your Windows 10/11 partition? Do you feel it's too small or needlessly big? Would you change the size if/when you get a new drive? I know how much C: space I need for my own use. I don't play games any more and I don't install huge programs in my computer. The 90GB partition I've...

    Air cooler for Ryzen 7/9 X CPU

    I'm not a power user and the only times I used third-party CPU coolers were when I wanted something quieter than the stock coolers of pre-Ryzen CPUs. I'm now in the process of choosing parts for a new computer for a friend who will use it primarily for video editing with DaVinci Resolve, and...

    Same GPU & CPU, different monitors

    This comes from having to help someone choose a monitor but perhaps it has more to do with the associated GPU and CPU. The friend is getting an RTX 4070, Ryzen 9 7900, 32GB RAM and a 27-inch monitor, mainly for video editing and playing MS Flight Simulator. In general, a higher resolution and...

    Video Help evaluate Mi TV reliability

    I've bought about a dozen Mi TVs since 2018, both for home and for relatives and friends. Out of those, two of them had the backlight fail - one of them after about 15 months and the other after 4 years. I'd like your help in re-evaluating the reliability of Mi TVs. Is this failure rate...

    Monitors MSI Pro MP223 E2 monitor (or recommended alternatives)

    I'm thinking of building a desktop for my wife from old parts that I've accumulated over the years.. I have everything except the monitor. She doesn't need a fancy rig - just something for browsing, youtube, playing music, typing, and the like. From a first quick search, I find that the MSI Pro...

    Buying an active speaker

    I want to buy an active speaker system and have my eye on Ahuja XPA-3010DP. Online prices range from 24-28k. Moglix is one of those offering the lower prices. I've long heard of Moglix of course but have never ordered anything from them. Are they reliable in terms of efficient service, quick...

    I don't know if this question belongs in this section, but here goes: I want to revive an old laptop - a 15-year-old Samsung RV509 - for use by someone who doesn't need a fast modern model. It still works fine except that the battery's quite dead of course. Can anyone recommend a brand of...
