Hi Everyone,

What should I use to clean up this hammer. It is a regular household hammer and I removed the handle grip from it because it was dried, cracked and coming apart. On the end of the hammer handle end it is black. What is that and what can clean it. I cleaned off rust with coke a cola that I had and that worked. There is some residual from a sticker that I can probably get off with goof off or goo gone. I just don't know what that black stuff it at the end of the handle. I bought some heat shrink grip that I'll use to replace the handle grip. Any other tips you have is appreciated. Check Pic! Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I am about to buy my first prebuilt gaming computer on Andromeda Insights. I am choosing a prebuilt with the option of customizing. In the custom section it asks what thermal paste to get. Since this is my first gaming PC and I don't know much about thermal paste, which should I get, check picture. Is there a difference between a $10 and a $17 Thermal Paste?

I am going to be getting a new PC probably next month, I hope there is a good 4th of July sale on one of these. They are all very similar. Some are 1tb and others are2tb storage. I can do with 1tb since I put my games on a separate internal SSD. I have been using Intel for years but I hear AMD is better at this time. 5070TI and 32gb RAM. What are your thoughts on the brands? I think I chose some good ones from what I read on other posts. I hope the prices are reasonable. This would be my first gaming computer. I've had several Dell XPS in the past and they have been good for games. I play GTAV on my current Dell 8930 with a 1070TI. I thought I would try a different brand. Dell custom is putting it at $3000, so i think I'll look elsewhere. I'm not a big gamer but would like to do more if time permits. I don't really want to go more than $2700. Also, I've heard when you buy on Newegg to be sure it is Sold and Shipped by Newegg. Only the Thermal Take is sold and shipped by Newegg, all the others are buy the Brand. Is that a problem or should I be ok? Any other thoughts on these let me know. This is the most I've spent on a PC. This 8930 from 8yrs ago I think was around $1600.

Don't bash me too hard if it's a dumb question. I'm still figuring out overclocking and the Intel's letter series. I'm looking into buying a Dell Tower Plus Desktop and for the processor I'm looking at the Ultra 7 265 or 265K. K is for overclocking which I don't plan on doing since you need to know what you're doing and how it can heat up inside. The 265 says 1.8-5.3ghz and the 265k says 3.3-5.5ghz. Is that ghz boost on the K if you have it overclocked? Or does overclocking not effect the ghz? I'm doing a custom build Dell and not sure which to go for. For an extra $100 would it be worth the boost to get K?

This is the 4th time in a month I have got this message. I'm on my computer and all of a sudden this pops up. I click enter to proceed and it takes me to a recovery page and I just click the first option which is to restart the comp. Sometimes when it restarts it will say that there was an unexpected problem and needs to be diagnosed. Then it would say couldn't fix the problem so I would just restart it and it would all load fine and be normal again.

In the picture, the link starts with E:\Windows, which I think means it is a problem with the E drive. On the other picture, I don't see an E Drive. Could there be a separate partition on the C that would be labeled E? I think when you set up partitions on a new drive you can label them by letter? I've only done that once or twice. The main OS drive is C and that is an SSD M.2. The D is an HDD and H is a SDD. All internal drives. Computer is about 8 years old. So what is this E:\Windows error string and I don't see an E drive? I don't know if it is hardware or software problem.
