I have read some posts about undervolting reducing power demand. Hopefully I can get it to where I am comfortable else I might just go with RX6600.

I am not considering nVidia options. I plan to stick with AMD as much as possible. The games I play are usually 2 - 5 years old anyway so it should be OK for sometime. I am quite concerned about power consumption though hence planning to stick with RX6600. Can the PSU theoretically hold up...

I am planning to buy a basic graphics card for 1080p gaming (30 fps is alright I feel) at low power consumption. I need the graphics card not to go out of support in the next 3 years at least. I would also like the card to be smaller in physical size if possible. I have been looking at RX6600...

This looks decent enough for me. I have bookmarked it, thank you.

Both the Dell and Acer ones are presently available. Though Acer one seems to be last piece. I have poor expectation of quality from Acer. But similarly the present Dell IPS monitor also started getting discoloured within 2 years. So I am now in a dilema. I feel 27 inch is too big for a monitor...

What did you end up buying?

How is your experience with this now? I am considering a replacement for my present DELL S2240L and this thing caught my eye *www.amazon.in/dp/B08GGF4L1K But the screen is written as matte there which is bothering me.

Heating may not be the issue as this is sometimes observed in BIOS soon after boot. Still it could be one point to verify. I will do a clean contacts and reseat and check. It is a Crucial SSD. SMART values were normal last time I checked after 3 or 4 such episodes. This happened while...

I have a M2 NVME SSD containing the main OS and data. I also have other HDDs with secondary operating systems. Recently computer freezes at random times including while in the BIOS or pre-boot, requiring the press of hardware reset button to bring it back. On reboot, the SSD will have...

It is generally advised to stay invested in a fund and not change frequently right? Also the situation is like selecting the best toll gate in a toll plaza. The queue you have joined suddenly might get stuck and everyone else might zoom past. It is almost betting at this point.

Unfortunately no other messaging app keeps chat/downloaded content in an accessible place. WhatsApp was the only one. Still we can access the media directly although we cannot use it to restore in future. All other apps keep it somewhere hidden and if you want to keep any you need to...

This will only work if both phones are in working condition. After going through alternatives it seems no one gives an option for full manual backup. WhatsApp had that one thing going for them but now I do not know.

Local backup is no longer supported by WhatsApp. Looks like they have finally pulled the plug on that. I had great trouble transferring from one Samsung to same model Samsung. Unfortunately Google backup restore is fraught with errors and possible data loss. If you implement direct transfer from...

Need a Moto for my MIL. She has a Moto G9 now which only runs if charging. Thinking of Moto G52 vs. G31. They seem to be similar.? Do not want to go beyond 12 K.

Reading some articles gives the feeling that it is basically a fork of Android/AOSP/LineageOS with no default proprietary apps and a closed app store containing curated apps for the security conscious government departments. Something like Sandes. Theoretically.
