So, I found out some stuff... Let's consider the idea tha maybe I reset my BIOS and forgot and that's how the BIOS was reset. 1) I first tried unplugging the motherboard and hard drive and resetting the BIOS and the OS was "lost" 2) Don't know if this matters, but I got the select proper boot...

If you don't want "shade" then you (all of you) should adhere to some advice another poster made in another thread, which was basically to either help out, or move on. And you do have SOME clout with the manufacturers if you are reviewing their products. And you should definately use it. The...

I am using the stock cooler. Your assertion is sensless. Just using the stock cooler does not tell me what the temeperatures should be. There could be other issues.

For your first assertion is a straw man. What "that stupid metal thing" is was made clear in the thread with "1) What is up with with that stupid metal thing that goes around the mother board ports?" And the second post made it quite clear that people could clearly understand what I was talking...

This is the second answer I have gotten as to why the CPU runs hot on BIOS screen. The other was that the BIOS might be buggy and need updating. I am mentioning this here because it is relevant to the next post I will be making. Mine just did. I have the boot sequence set right. And it should...

You won't have it when you need it most. My net is slow now so I cannot look those cameras up, but usually they do have a zoom function. Maybe even replaceable lenses. You will mind dragging that DSLR around. The point and shoot you can take anywhere. Only reason to go DSLR is for specific pro...

" With as much respect as I can muster, it might be time to take the opportunity to enlist the help of someone IRL w/ a little more experience building PC's and doing the first boot & install process to aid and advise you through the this, ideally someone who is both willing and capable of...

First you should look at cost. Unless you crap gold nuggets you aren't getting a Hasselblad. I would recommend a high grade full size sensor point and shoot with a zeiss lens. Leica's cheap offerings are trash last I looked. So you are probably looking at Sony. Maybe look at Pentax and see what...

You can also look for raspberry pi monitors on Amazon. Projectors sound interesting.... 0_0

I thought putting filter material on the side of a case in which the graphics card draws air directly through the aide of the case was unusual. Baffles me as to why a filter mount wasn't designed into that part of the case.

Also, I gotta ask? Why isn't the faceplate interface connector standardized? Why are there always all these itty bitty connectors? Why aren't the motherboard screws thumbscrews that can be held onto while putting them in? Why are all the fan and psu connectors so hard to grab? I was trying to...

And part of the problem is that BASIC information is completely neglected by the manufacturer. Like how hot should a Ryzen run? This should be clearly indicated by AMD, but is not. Or what are the measurements of a graphics card? This should be on the sales site but took a call to the...

And this I still need answered.

Um, I have done builds before. BIOS is supposed to be secured by the motherboard battery. And the OS should still be on the hard drive. Static couldn't have done it. I was using a well grounded Desco mat and wrist band and had the humidity up. Only thing that could come close is when my screw...

Also, I reapplied the paste. I am guess when Arctic ways to RECHECK the goop they didn't mean set the CPU down the rip it back up and look. Which is what I did the first time. And why would a BIOS reset during a rebuild? I didn't move the pin thingy. My OS is gone and BIOS is reset.
