I read Power Station are now the best ups. Since most new unit use lifepo4 less fire risk and ways more reliable. Also ways more power output over 2000w. Can probably fit a pc fan and cut the wire not sure about it. Ups battery may show good because of voltage but can be sulfated pretty bad and voltage drop to nothing on a low load.

Which BIOS chip do I flash on ASUS X570i Gaming Motherboard?
CoolGTX replied to HeyItsChris's topic in Desktop
I'm wondering if it is a "dead"/ does Not POST issue .... that is the only good reason I know to flash directly to the BIOS chip ............... because anyone else who needed to flash the chip for serious OC customization would not need to ask where the chip was. -
Good to see more members have joined the fun! I'm not "all in" for this event .... already posted over 2.5 Billion this month for the Team Three (3) UPS units are down, sigh - I'm sure the over a dozen power interruptions during the "Great Northeaster Storm of 2026" did not Help .......... eventually I shutdown all rigs & turned off all the breakers to any major appliance other than heating system - in hopes of preventing surge damage. Still, we made out so much better than many families who lost power for Hours - some even lost power for DAYs! It could just be the batteries are too old? Two (2) of my CyberPower 1350 Watt rack UPS units (PR1500LCDRT2U) failed to keep a PC running even for 1 seconds (while idle in Windows), though the batteries are indicated as "good / fully charged" in the display, aka "no battery error symbol". One of these 1350 W UPS units has a "bad fan" (only fan in unit) that is trying to intimate the sound of a blender .... pulled fan it has a failed bearing. ---> Does anyone know a good place (in US) to buy replacement fans for CyberPower UPS units? --->>>> (fan is) 80mm sq x 25mm thick two wire 0.34A 12VDC (T&T 8025HH12F ND1) I just replaced the batteries in my oldest CyberPower 1500 Watt rack UPS & that unit indicated the battery had failed. Voltage testing confirmed bad batteries; after I pulled the battery pack & tested individual batteries ...... 6+ years old? unit, so ........ The cherry on top: two (2) 900 Watt UPS units also have failed to keep an idling PC running for even 1 second. So, I pulled one of my Folding Rigs down; to keep the misses happy with her PC, as she worked from home post Nor'easter. Since "OEM CyberPower battery Packs" have gotten way out of hand $$$$ (it was $244 for the 1500W UPS) I am thinking of buying generic 12V batteries & rebuilding myself. --->>> Any suggestions for brand of batteries or where to get "fresh" sealed 12V batteries, would be helpful. Speaking of insane prices: the (2) 1500W brick UPS I bought a couple of years ago ($500.00 each) are now just over $700.00 .................... what is up with that, copper & lead prices are way down from a few years ago?

Hey guys, So we've owned this site for over a year now. Not once have myself or Labrat asked for any donations. Nor do we have any plans to, this was our purchase, our decision to keep this site alive. That said, a close buddy of mine, a Youtuber who is EXTREMELY wholesome and super fun to be around is having some issues in the making babies department. He's already put out some content for our site here, and he's planning on more (since we donated an entire AM5 system to him recently LOL). If you guys wouldn't mind, if you could at least click the link, and read his story at minimum. MAYBE consider shooting them a donation? As you saw, I never ever ask for donations for something for us personally here at EHW. That's not my style. We can make stuff work here even without a budget. But EctorPlays, he REALLY needs community help to make his dream of parenthood happen. Please please please and thank you! Even just clicking it, reading it, and maybe spreading his story around the internet wherever you deem appropriate. ANY sort of exposure or donations helps. Thank you for your time! ~pio Donate to Made With Love and a Little Bit of Science - Our IVF Journey, organized by Kassidy Cabral WWW.GOFUNDME.COM For the past six years, my husband and I have walked through … Kassidy Cabral needs your support for Made With Love and a Little Bit of Science - Our IVF Journey

https://www.techpowerup.com/346645/intel-plans-return-to-unified-core-design-no-more-performance-and-efficiency-core-split It's about time! I understand where they were going there; but what was wrong with what was working great before? We had good strong cores, and hyperthreading capabilities. I think the "E" cores kind of "replaced" HT there for a while, and I think that was kind of a bad idea. I feel like regular HT is probably less latency than going to differently clocked cores entirely. That's just my opinion of them based on their design; I've never personally used one of those CPU's that had them myself. Either way this is exciting! I sincerely hope we see Intel doing great things this year, both on their CPU's and GPU's! More competition is always a good thing.

Due to the nature of our forum here, and the already existant rules, I've gone ahead and removed the 18+ requirement for registration for new members. This should allow teens to join into the site (I set it to 13+ to continue following appropriate US laws). Being an adult is never a requirement to be involved in tech communities. Let's face it, we ALL probably started much younger than 18 over at other forums years ago. I hope you all give any of our new members a nice warm welcome! Thank you, ~Management

Which BIOS chip do I flash on ASUS X570i Gaming Motherboard?
pio replied to HeyItsChris's topic in Desktop
It's underneath the m.2 heatsink. Not sure why you'd need to though, these boards just use simple software BIOS flashing. -
Yea sadly the US gov are part of it. Special force reported abuse in Afghanistan and tried to intervene and got fired. Sad world we live in guys. The UK is the one leading those change but I heard the USA want to implement some kind of worldwide vpn for freedom of access. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-plans-online-portal-bypass-content-bans-europe-elsewhere-2026-02-18/

The argument is end to end encryption. If the U.S. wanted to charge anyone, they would have.
