MidTower Deluxe sprung a coolant leak! Fix or go back to air cooling?
I've taken a long break from posting videos here as I have been dealing with personal stuff and needed a long "vacation" from doing computer tech videos... however this weekend, the water pump on the MidTower Deluxe sprung a leak, which will require replacing the pump. But... with the current setup this system has, there really isn't a need for water cooling, so...
Do I replace the pump and keep this machine water cooled.
Or, do I gut the water cooling components off the system and go back to the simplicity of air cooling. I should note, if I do strip this system of its beloved radiator its sported since 2010, that doesn't mean it's going away permanently. I very well could go back to water...

AI is getting shoved into our daily lives and I'm not a fan of it
Просмотров 3462 месяца назад
In recent years, and especially in the past year, AI, or artificial intelligence, is getting integrated more and more into our daily lives. From seeing it in Google searches to Copilot in Windows, to social media platforms like Facebook, to even the drive-thru speaker, some may welcome it. However, there are many like myself who would ideally like to see it gone. Not all of us want AI, and we s...

Your old computer might not run Windows 11 24H2 (May 2024 Update)
Просмотров 8862 месяца назад
If you're looking to install or upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 and your computer does not have an Intel Nehalem or AMD Bulldozer CPU or newer, you just might be out of luck. Microsoft is making these CPU requirements hard requirements, so even if you bypass the "official" requirements, you must still have at least this new of a CPU.

Even some IT departments are bypassing Windows 11 requirements!

Enterprise IT departments know the Windows 11 system requirements are bloated and ridiculous. Now while I do think any computer running Windows 11 should at a minimum have a solid state drive, the truth is, Windows 11 will run on hardware that is significantly older than the minimum requirements. There are cases where IT departments need to use Windows 11 because a piece of software they use is...

Samsung NP305V5A-A0CUS laptop screen removal (replacement procedure)
Просмотров 2635 месяцев назад
In this video, I'll be showing the process of removing the LCD screen from this Samsung laptop (model NP305V5A-A0CUS). Since this panel was not too difficult to get to, I pulled it to get the part number to look up a replacement. Due to the exorbitantly high cost of a replacement screen for this specific model laptop (screen costs $140 for a 12 year old laptop), the customer opted to keep the e...
Your old computer might not run Windows 11 24H2
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The next feature build of Windows 11, known as 24H2, will have more strict "unofficial" system requirements, thanks to a new requirement for the system processor to have the POPCNT instruction. Chances are, if you are running Windows 11 on a system that does not meet the official Windows 11 hardware requirements, you won't be affected by this, unless your system is sporting an Intel Core 2 Duo,...
Worn out Samsung NP305V5A-A0CUS laptop gets 512GB SSD swap

In this video, I'll be swapping in a solid state drive to help squeeze a little more life out of this system before it ultimately gets retired.

Why sensitive devices can get damaged from power restoration
Просмотров 2037 месяцев назад
There is a reason why electrical utilities advise people to disconnect/unplug unneeded items during a power outage. One of the reasons is to help lower startup demand when power is restored. But there is another reason - in some cases, when power is restored, voltage at your outlets may not be within spec. Typically during restoration, it could be under spec as there is higher demand on the sys...

The system will finally quit working...

    It's useful for recording 96khz or 192khz audio but sound quality does not improve by much. In fact it use more CPU resources because Realtek does not have offloading processor like Sound Blaster does. So it's relied on a CPU for sound so its like a PC Speaker in 1980s but with DAC and Codec slap on it This may sound like a little thing nowadays but Sound Blaster XFi still sounds better than realtek regardless the sample rate setting and its does Hardware Acceleration sounds like EAX 5.0 and earlier and its will also do Hardware Acceleration on music playback. Not sure how much does the new Sound Core3D do hardware acceleration for music playback but there are no hardware eax support sadly. I wish OpenAL become a big thing On linux make sure to use Alsa and not PulseAudio or Pipewire so it can take advantage of EMU20K2 or Sound Core3D offload processing

    The directions clearly state to add liquid bleach first . You never figured it out that the bleach dispenser you have guides the liquid bleach to enter the tub "BETWEEN" the porcelain basket and the outer plastic tub. Thus never going directly on the clothes but to the bottom to be then mixed with the water you add. The ring works for "TWO" different methods of dispensing liquid bleach....one with a hose and the one you have. I have the same type of dispenser only I have a whirlpool washer 😀😀😀

    • @CubeComputerChannel

    • @tomtransport
      @tomtransport 17 дней назад

      @@CubeComputerChannel The point I was making is that the "slot" in the bleach dispenser we both have, when installed to the plastic outer tub, will direct the bleach "between" the steel porcelain "inner tub" and the plastic "outer tub" thus never putting the bleach directly on the clothes. BTW, the same thing happened to my whirlpool washer, the tube rusted through under the agitator. I used a hand drill with a cutting disk to cut through the tube at the slot of the threaded keeper. I found the basket/part for $152.50 and $10.99 shipping + tax at Parts DR.😀😀😀

    Ok with so little info out there about this issue, I'll add what worked for me. I have the newer model and I've had the static noise issue for over a year. Changed the phone and LAN cables, router but no luck. I was just going to get a new one when the time came to renew then I stumbled on this video. I wasn't going to change the capacitor (I'll just get a new unit), but I saw some comments about how changing the power supply solved the issue. I changed mine to a 2A power adapter but that didn't fix the issue. What solved it was removing the optional magicjack USB extension cable and plugging it directly into the power adapter. No more static noise. I tried the extension cable again as a test, and the noise came back. I tried directly with the 1A power adapter again and it worked. So MY issue was with the extension cable.

    • @CubeComputerChannel
      @CubeComputerChannel 26 дней назад

      I have a video posted about the power supply causing issues with these. I tend to run mine directly off the power supply. There's a chance the extension cord could be cheaply made and causing a voltage drop to the magicJack when it needs additional power.
