sekevu asked:Motherboard recommendations for AMD based gaming PC build Hi everyone, I am planning to build a gaming PC and my main goal is to achieve 240 fps (on low settings) for competitive games (MW is the heaviest) and 140~ fps on Ultra settings (1080p). I would like to receive your feedback on the parts I have selected so far. Is it an overkill/underkill? Additionally, I would love a recommendation on a good motherboard to add to the build. My current (and recently purchased) monitor is BenQ Zowie XL2546 (240hz). Processor: Ryzen 9 3900X Processor Fan: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO Red RAM: Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 C16 2x16GB Video Card: ASUS ROG RTX 2070 SUPER STRIX 8GB GDDR6 2xHDMI 2xDP USB-C Any comment is welcomed.

Hi Reddit, I broke my custom gaming laptop by reapplying thermal paste on the CPU and GPU ( stupid I know ): it's a not very well know brand: Sager. Its no longer in warranty so I don't feel like mailing it all the way to CA to do a repair. Is there any reliable laptop repair shop locally in Denver? Thanks in advance!

Hal B. asked:Hey guys! So... Christopher Jones needs the hard drive in his 2010 iMac replaced ASAP. Now that FirstTech is closed, where locally can he take it to get this done? (Apple Store has to ship the computer out to replace hard drives which means being without the machine for more than a week, so it's really really really not an ideal option. Looking for other apple certified tech services.)Vincent H. replied:Micro Center out here in St. Louis Park did some nice work on my daughter's computer. Give them a ring and see what they can do: 3710 MN-100, St Louis Park, MN 55416 (952) 285-4040 http://www.microcenter.com/Rachel R. replied:Hmm, I only work on mobile devices, so I'm not sure. Micro Center is a good place to start though. You could also check with GopherMods. I'm not sure if they work on that model but it's worth a shotTim M. replied:All respect to wanting a professional warranty on this work. I will, as a former Micro Center employee, say that a new drive is a fraction of that cost and even iMacs are designed for easy hard drive replacement. Standard labor cost from a tech friend -- and I'm sure CJ knows a few -- is a 6-pack of craft beer.

Jack M. asked:Ive got a near fully configured hyperspin running on an old XP tower. I can tell by the outdatedness of the tower, its buggy and some emulators are crashing. I think i've invested too much time into putting it together to be wasting it on a crappy old tower. Does anyone on here have a decent computer they recommend for hyperspin? I think the jump from XP to vista/7 would really be a drastic change in what the CPU is capable of. So if you have a decent tower for a reasonable price (remember, college budget) please let me know! I've also contemplated building my own computer to run as a dedicated hyperspin. Also if theres a better place than craigslist for computer towers, please share.Jeff B. replied:microcenter.com has refurb deals, as do newegg and tigerdirect. I've been considering doing that rather than craigslist.

Mike M. asked:Anyone know of any good computer repair shops? The one that I just took my computer to couldn't fix it so I have to look for another shop. My computer needs to have the audio jack replaced because the previous one busted due to having a 3.5mm jack broken off in it. This would require soldering on the motherboard which some computer repair stores are uncomfortable with doing. If anyone has any place they would like to refer me to it would be greatly appreciated.

You can also upload pics to icloud or other internet based storage services.Isaac L. replied:If you go to the micro center website you can see some options. The store also has a very knowleable team of real geeks, not like best buy, and they are happy spend time explaining and helping you. Google - "ssid drive" easier than explaining solid state drives. And yes your laptop is not worth the work but still holds value, people on craigslist will buy your old laptops for a couple bucks.

Füfski R. asked:Anyone know where I can replace a laptop graphic card? I uses Alienware M17X R3. The price of buying it from dell's website is insane but I'm not comfortable of buying it from ebay cuz there is no guarantee for the quality. I'd prefer a physical store where I can walk in and do the replacement. Anyone have any ideas for this?Chris A. replied:I don't know how many places do replacements and sell parts. You could buy the part from somewhere like Microcenter (http://www.microcenter.com/) or Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/). I can't think of any places that do replacements specifically, but there are some little gaming / hobby shops that do installations and may be interested. Heres an example of one but it's not very close to SBU: http://www.battlegroundsli.com/. I'm sure you could call them and find out, or look for other places similar to it.
