Best products from r/techhelp

Thanks! It took like a year to save up and finally build.

My tv is not an lg but a samsung and I am not using it as a monitor.

I would test this but it hasn't gotten a black screen in like 2 hours so ima test this out tomorrow if the black screen continue to happens.

I have just update my mobo bios, gpu drivers, and cpu drivers and it is still happening.

I have tried every DP port and it does the same thing, I have also tried a different cable. (This is the cable I am using for my monitor)

I doubt my monitor is over heating because its in a pretty cold room and when I touch the back side it doesn't feel hot at all

My temps are pretty solid even when under load so I doubt it is that.

It does it whenever im gaming or just using chrome.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

lol found that on ebay for a much better price https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-Logic-SCSI-LVD-SE-Controller-PCI-Express-x4-LSI20320IE-439946-001-Tested/142155949051?epid=1524610697&hash=item211927a3fb:g:i8UAAOSwHsRYCbli&frcectupt=true

yeah man, they all look like iomegal or something ones from late 90s/ early 2000s

I purchased it from Microsoft via Amazon. According to my Orders list, it's the exact same webpage from which I purchased my previous Xbox 360 controller, which worked considerably better.

Here is the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004JU0JSK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or maybe something like this if you want a switch to move between displays

I've never used either of these products, so I'm not recommending them in specific, I'm only showing the solutions exist.

Try using the auxilary input, the cable is included as per the listing on Amazon(Speaker). Connect to the audio out behind TV(red,white), the other end to the aux in on the speaker. 3.5 mm cable looks like the headphone jack cable.

Use this cable

Or if you have 3.5 mm cable use the one below to convert to RCA

Around $48 Hope this helps if not what yoir looking for let me know.

Btw sorry it took so long had to go for neck xrays.

If you are looking to buy something like this will do the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EO6X4XG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_21dSCbRNY1DRC

I had to get a display port to hdmi adapter like this
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0035PS57M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497835895&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=display+cable+to+hdmi&dpPl=1&dpID=41Z56w28dJL&ref=plSrch
To get 1080p on both monitors

It seems to me that your wireless card is either too weak or just bad in general. You should be able to buy a good wireless adapter for pretty cheap. I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC600-Wi-Fi-Adapter-A6100/dp/B00F6EL6O4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522786566&sr=8-3&keywords=netgear+wireless+adapter

Yes... they make a converter type plug that goes into the socket. It has a tab on it that would go underneath the screw in the faceplate to ground out the plug.

Looks like this:

This is my case, and this is my PSU

Do this first and then just use it with this and you just scored yourself an external HDD :D

What SCSI version are the drives? If you don't know, post a model number or drive label and a pic of the port.

You'll need a SCSI controller, IDE won't work as SCSI uses an expanded command set which IDE doesn't support.

Best bet is to find a cheap PCIe SCSI adapter and a cable to host the drives on a machine to wipe them. Older SCSI is dated tech, but the controllers will still run you 50-150 ea, even for the old stuff. If this is out of the question, put a bullet through them or take them apart with a hammer.

DO pay attention to these controllers! Most of them are PCI-x not PCI-e because they were mostly for server boards from 90's to late 00's vintage. The link below is for an LSI PCIe card which will probably work for you if you have U320 SCSI drives. You'll have to add a ribbon cable AND the SCSI terminator for each unused port, AND have your drives addressed in the controller. SCSI is nowhere near as simple as SAS/SATA/IDE. Much of the drive/controller/cabling in SCSI requires setup on the controller firmware to address the drive.

I'm looking around for a USB to SCSI adapter but they are extremely rare and expensive.

You definitely not get a "gaming" branded monitor for that price, but really all that you need for that price is a fairly low latency, no more than 6-7ms delay, and then 1080p with whatever inputs you need.

this might work alongside a display cable adapter if you need one
