Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Special Edition, The Cheats :
Secret - Unlimited Skulltulas
First you need to get bombs, the Song of Storms,and the Boomerang. Then go to hyrule castle and jump in the moat so the guards won't see you. Drift until you see a shallow corner. Climb up and you will see a tree. Play the Song of Storms. A hole will open up, then jump down. There will be several walls that can be blown down with a bomb. One of these has a gold skulltilla behind it. BE CAREFUL, first kill the bug then stand right in front of the circle that sends you back to the surface. Next, throw the Boomerang at the token and as soon as it hit's the token step back on the circle. You will be back at the surface. If you did this right the gold skulltulla should still be there. Repeat this process until you have 100 or more.
Secret - Sinking Lure
If you want to easily catch really big fish in the fishing pond without having to spend countless hours, then make sure you have caught the "lunker" fish as an adult and have obtained the gold scale. Now go to the fishing pond and you will find a new lure in one of three places: 1.) in the feeder creek, 2.) in the grass around the perimeter of the area, or 3.) on the log jutting out of the pond. Once you find this lure, try fishing with it. It is irresistible to fish, so catching a 20 pounder will be no problem. However, if you set any records by using this lure, the fish you have caught will be noted as illegal on the aquarium and at the record board in Link's house.
Secret - Never Lose Tunic or Shield
To not lose your tunic or shield when you are eaten by a like-like, put on the kokiri(green) tunic and the mirror shield. Since both of these are one of a kind and can't be re-bought,the like-like can't eat them.
Secret - Make the Sinking Lure legal
This will make the fish you catch with the Sinking Lure be legal, as if you had caught them without it. After getting the Sinking Lure, go to the fisherman and say to him "Let's talk about something else". He will then allow you to use the Sinking Lure, and the fish you catch with it will no longer be noted as being "Illegal".Note: You will still need to find the Sinking Lure each time you come back.
Secret - Kill Zombies Easier
Play the sun song anywhere where there are zombies. They will freeze and be easier to kill because they won't attack you.
Secret - Infinite money at will
In the past, there is a beggar in the Hyrule Castle Market that asks you to sell him things with C. In the future, that same beggar is relocated to Kakariko Village, which is perfect for arguably the fastest non-Skulltulla money trick in the game. Behind the old lady's potion shop in Kakariko lies a grotto, and within it, a fish. Bring a bunch of empty bottles to the grotto, then enter and re-enter the grotto until you're able to fill all of your bottles with fish. The beggar will buy each fish for 100 rupees, and you can repeat this process as many times as you wish until your money is maxed out. This obviously works best when you have the Giant's Wallet and are able to carry a maximum of 500 rupees at a time.
Secret - Giant monsters
If you continously kill the same type of monster, you will encounter a giant version of the type you've been killing. This works on Stalchildren, Guays, and Leevers.
Secret - Get the golden scale as a kid!
When you are a child, go to the fishing pond and start fishing like normal. Keep fishing until you get a fish that�s big enough to earn a heart piece. Instead of going to the fishing owner, go into the middle of the pond. Face towards the owner in the water and hold Z + R (lock and shield). Don�t let go and swim and run to him. Once you reach him, talk to him without letting go of Z and R. He�ll give you the golden scale instead of a heart piece!This allows you to do many things early on. Such as entering Zora�s Domain without having to play Zelda�s Lullaby. Or getting the heart piece from the Lakeside Laboratory (letting you have both the scale and heart piece.)
Secret - Get Fire Arrows Early
First, get the scarecrow song as a kid. To do this, go to Lake Hylia as a kid through Zora's Domain. Talk to the scarecrow on the shore, the fist by the lake. Take out your ocarina and he'll want to play. Play a song you made and that's your song. Be sure to remember it. Next, you'll need the Longshot. To get this, beat Dark Link in the Water Temple. As an adult, go to the scarecrows and play the song for the first one. Piere will now appear where there is a green Navi but nothing there. Now, when the sun is rising, shoot the sun with an arrow by the Water warp point (with the Water Medalion on it. When the Fire arrows appear, go down the hill. Don't drop, just go to the edge. Play the scarecrow song to make Piere appear. Use the Longshot to hook on and grab the arrows. Good Job! P.S. The Fire Arrows light things on fire. Duh!
Secret - Free Masks At The Mask Shop
This won't work unless you've already sold the Keaton mask to the guard outside of Death Mountain. Once you've done so, before getting the Skull Mask you can ask to borrow the Keaton Mask again for free. Once you've done so, leave the shop, go back in and ask to trade masks. You can trade the Keaton mask for the Skull mask (he'll say you have to pay, but you won't) for free! It even makes the sound of you giving him the rupees, but you'll still have all your money. The same works for the Spooky mask and the Rabbit hood, you just have to trade the mask that you sold before it.
Secret - Free Hylian Shield
When you're a kid you can get the Hylian Sheild for free instead of wasting 80 rupees. First go to the graveyard in Kakariko village and wait for night. Then pull the tombstones that have flowers in front of them back and go down their holes. When You find the right one it will have a treasure chest inside. Inside that is the Hylian Shield.
Secret - Use the Lens of Truth without using magic
Play the Song of Storms. As soon as you regain control of Link, use the Lens of Truth. If this is done correctly, the white border around the magic meter will not flash and you can have the Lens on without depleting your magic.
Secret - Use any Weapon on Epona (gold cartridge only)
To use other weapons on Epona, you need to get rid of the Master Sword. One way of doing this is in the second battle of Ganon. When he knocks the sword away from you, save it, and press reset.
Unlockable - Elemental Arrows
Secret - Roll through spiked things
You know those spike things that slide around (like the ones in Ice Cavern). Iff you roll before you touch them, they will pass harmlessly through you.
Secret - Re-use bugs
Let a bug go near a bean bed, but make sure you're not too close. Once one bug goes in, catch one of the other two, and you'll have as many bugs as you need.
Secret - Pass through objects
This is a very unusual glitch that requires you to interact with the cartridge itself. When you come up to a character or object that's blocking your path (such as Mido or the Kokiri blocking the forest exit at the beginning of the game), you must pull up VERY gently on the left side of the cartidge. If done so correctly, the screen will become a bit fuzzy, and if you move forward, you can use this tme to walk through people and objects that aren't completely solid. This trick gives you access to portions of the game you wouldn't be able to get to until later.
Secret - More Bottles
First equip a bottle, then go find something to put in a bottle (example: fish, bug, blue fire, fairy, or anything else you can put inside a bottle). Now, hit the C Button to catch the item and hit start directly after hitting C button. Select an item you do not want (Claim Check is recommended) and equip it instead of the bottle you were catching the item with. Press start again and you will see Link still catching the item. Now you have an extra bottle. Do this on all of your weapons and you will have 24 bottles! (Note: do NOT save after doing this or else you CANNOT get your weapons back!)
Secret - Make fish easier to catch (Gold Cart Only)
Go to the pond as adult Link. Put the Hover Boots on, and pay the guy to fish. Once you have the rod, run onto the pond, and cast while hovering. You can now walk around with the rod cast! While you can do this, let a fish bite the rod. When it has, hold in "A" so as not to loose the fish. Run over to the pond owner, and tell him you want to quit. You'll loose the rod, yet the fish will be stuck in the place it was in before you chose to quit. Now, simply run over to the fish, and the little scene which plays when you catch a fish will play. And there you have it! You can use this to catch the biggest, hardest to reel in fish in the pond with great ease!
Secret - The Bald Fisherman
If you go to the Fishing pond as an adult you will notice he is wearing a hat, if you get it just right, you can catch his hat, he will get mad at you, but from then on you will never see him wearing the hat again.
Secret - Scarecrow Song Encore *updated*
After watching the ending to the game, leave the game on during the "The End" screen. After a little while, you'll hear whatever Scarecrow Song you composed being played over and over again in various forms.
Secret - Hidden secret in Hyrule Castle courtyard.
When you arrive in the Hyrule Castle courtyard, look at the left window. Now take out your slingshot, and shoot the potted plant. Someone will yell at you to stop doing that, and they will also throw a bomb at you.
Secret - Hidden Nintendo characters in Hyrule Castle.
When you enter the Hyrule Castle courtyard, look at the right window. If you look inside the window, you will see paintings of Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Luigi, and Bowser.
Secret - Hidden Bowser broach
If you look at the broach that Malon is wearing, you will notice that it is actually Bowser's face.
Unlockable - Skulltulas Unlockable
To get this unlockable items, you must kill the number of Skulltulas Spiders that is required. After you kill the skulltulas spiders, collect the tokens and then go to the Skulltula House in Kakariko Village to get your prize.

Four Starred Reviews!
"It's also the warmth of their intergenerational relationship that will make this book so satisfying, for both young readers and the adults sharing it with them."—The New York Times Book Review
"That material poverty need not mean spiritual or imaginative poverty becomes beautifully clear in the quietly moving pages of 'Last Stop on Market Street," a picture book by Matt de la Pe�a filled with Christian Robinson's vibrant na�f illustrations."—The Wall Street Journal
"Matt de la Pe�a's warmhearted story is musical in its cadences...Christian Robinson's angular, bright illustrations are energetic and vibrant... [A] celebration of the joys of service, the gifts of grandmothers and the tenderness that the city can contain."—The Washington Post
"The sharp illustrations — in bold, and cheerful primaries — get CJ's restless energy and curious postures exactly right. The voices of CJ and his grandmother carry the story along in subtle point and counterpoint so that at this book's quiet close you feel like you've been listening to a song."—The Boston Globe
★ "This celebration of cross-generational bonding is a textual and artistic tour de force."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "Like still waters, de la Pe�a and Robinson's story runs deep. It finds beauty in unexpected places, explores the difference between what's fleeting and what lasts, acknowledges inequality, and testifies to the love shared by an African-American boy and his grandmother."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ "De la Pe�a and Robinson here are carrying on for Ezra Jack Keats in spirit and visual style. This quietly remarkable book will likely inspire questions... it will also have some adult readers reaching for a tissue."—The Horn Book, starred review
"The urban setting is truly reflective, showing people with different skin colors, body types, abilities, ages, and classes in a natural and authentic manner... A lovely title."—School Library Journal
"It's not often that you see class addressed in picture books in ways that are subtle and seamless, but Last Stop on Market Street, the affectionate story of a young boy and his grandmother, does just that...This ode to gratitude is 2015's first must-read picture book."—BookPage
"If Robinson doesn't win this year's Caldecott, then next year could be the one with his name on it. His remarkable Last Stop on Market Street (with Matt de la Pe�a), is an early favorite for the best picture book of 2015."—Huffington Post Books
★ "With the precision of a poet, Matt de la Pe�a chronicles a boy's heartwarming Sunday morning routine with his nana. Christian Robinson's uplifting palette and culturally diverse cast brightens the rainy-day backdrop."—Shelf Awareness, starred review
"Bright colors and streamlined shapes keep the urban setting and its denizens cheerful, emphasizing the positive message."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This story is full of figurative language and the art provides a distinct contemporary feel to support this urban story."—SLC

"If my budget is only___, can I get a PC that can actually play games?" There are too many factors to consider for such a question, but if you don't mind spending time on it, assembling it yourself is definitely more cost-effective than buying a finished PC. Today, we'll recommend you the most suitable and affordable PC build on the market, and explain in order how to assemble the computer by yourself. Just follow the steps and you can build your own gaming PC! If you want to assemble your own gaming PC, first you have to know the list of parts you need to buy. The necessary parts include: 1. CPU, 2. Motherboard, 3. Memory, 4. Hard drive, 5. Graphics card, 6. Power supply 7. Case. In addition, you can get: 1. CPU Cooler, 2. Case fan, 3. Network card, etc. The main reason that CPU cooler is listed here is that the CPU comes with a fan, so it's not a necessity. However, if it's a large game load, it is recommended to buy a CPU cooler with a better cooling ability or a larger CPU cooler to control the CPU temperature to avoid overheating or crashing during the gameplay. 【All components for PC build】 A. CPU To make it affordable, the R5-3600X will be one of the best choices since AMD is a real bargain in the mid-range. The R5-3600X offers 6 cores and 12 threads. It has a basic clock of 3.8GHz and a boost clock of 4.4GHz, supports native 3200MHz memory, and is PCIe 4.0 SSD compatible. The expandability is excellent, and very few gamers will manually adjust the CPU or memory frequency. Learn more: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600x B. Motherboard The new B550 series motherboard is definitely a blessing for gamers. In the past, the B series is quite different from the X series in terms of CPU overclocking, memory overclocking and I/O interface; The TUF Gaming B550 PLUS is highly compatible, close to the X570 level, and has a sleek military look, making it the best choice at this price range. Learn more: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-GAMING-B550-PLUS/ C. Memory To keep the budget in check, try to avoid getting components that have RGB lighting. However, since it's a gaming PC, the memory must be gaming style as well. We pick T-FORCE VULCAN Z 8GBx2 3200MHz. It looks like a mecha with a strong sense of gaming design, and 8GBx2 3200MHz is also very sufficient to run all kinds of games. Learn more: https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/vulcan-z-ddr4 D. Solid state drive There are some tips on how to choose an SSD. Since we want to have enough speed and capacity while keeping my budget under control, we choose a 512GB TEAMGROUP MP33 PRO M.2 PCIe and a 512GB T-FORCE VULCAN G SATA 2.5" SSD, so the read/write processing is done in PCIe and data storage is stored in SATA to avoid purchasing expensive SSD that has both high speed and large capacity. Learn more: https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/mp33-pro https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/vulcan-g-ssd E. Graphics card As for graphics card, the ASUS TUF Gaming Geforce GTX1660 Super is a real bargain. Although the performance is not comparable to the ultra-high specification but over-budget RTX 3080, RTX 2080Ti, etc., but the 1660 Super is still the best choice in terms of Full HD quality. Learn more: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/TUF-GTX1660S-O6G-GAMING/ F. Remaining parts (Power supply, Case, CPU cooler) Among the remaining parts, you should pay attention that the use of a major manufacturer's power supply with a better warranty, such as the durable CoolerMaster, will reduce the chance of burning out. The wattage should be sufficient to support PC's normal operation. Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose a power supply of more than 650W for a PC build with a discrete graphics card. The case and the CPU cooler are basically the same as long as they are compatible. Anything that isn't bad enough to become an oven can be considered. Learn more: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-gold-650-full-modular/ 【Installation Process】 Next is the installation process. How to make a cool PC build out of the scattered parts? Even if you are a total beginner, just follow these steps and you will be all set! 1. Install the CPU cooler base onto the motherboard Nowadays, many CPU coolers are designed to be used by both AMD and Intel, so the screws need to be slightly adjusted to align with the motherboard holes. You can refer to the attached manual for the adjustment. The manual of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler is quite detailed, so don't worry! 2. Install the CPU in the motherboard Start by lifting the lever beside the CPU socket. Next, you need to pay attention to align the CPU correctly when placing it into the socket, otherwise the pin may be broken or burned. The motherboard and CPU are now equipped with foolproof mechanism, so you can install it correctly by following the arrows shown below. 3. Lock the power supply into the case From the front of the case, there is not much space on the right side, but if you open the right side panel, you will see a space below, this is where we will place our power supply. In most cases, the sockets and switches should face outwards and the air vents should face downwards, then lock the power supply from the back of the case. Also, since this is a non-modular power supply, which means the power supply itself is connected to a large bundle of wires, so it can be installed directly, but the downside is that it can't be removed when there are too many wires. If you choose a "fully modular" power supply, since the wires need to be connected by yourself, you must make sure which wires are needed and connect them first and then lock the case, otherwise it won't be easy to plug them after the case is locked! 4. Lock the motherboard tightly to the case Usually, the case has 9 screw holes corresponding to the holes of the motherboard, but not every motherboard will have 9 holes. As for myself, I usually lock 7 or 8 of them. When locking the motherboard, make sure that the CPU socket is on the top, so that the heat from the fan can be discharged out of the PC, and the graphics card will also have a place to put in. 5. Connect the power supply cable to the motherboard The most troublesome part of the installation is organizing the messy cables. We usually pull out the CPU power cable and the mother power cable from the reserved holes of the case and plug them into the motherboard. This can avoid leaving no room to plug in cables after other components have been installed. 6. Connect the front panel connectors of the case to the motherboard Almost all cases nowadays have 2~4 USB ports, power on/off and reboot buttons, etc. on the front panel. They all need to be powered and controlled by the motherboard. Since the wiring method of each motherboard is different, it is recommended to follow the user manual of the motherboard to connect them to the corresponding positions. The following is a brief introduction to the corresponding connection method of the TUF B550 PLUS motherboard. 7. Install rest of the parts on the motherboard Before installing, it is recommended to lay the case flat so that it can be screwed in easily. It can be installed in the order we are used to: Install the M.2 PCIe SSD first, then the CPU cooler to the base as mentioned in the first step, followed by the graphics card, memory, and finally the 2.5" SATA SSD. Most of the cases on the market still have the position of the 2.5" SSD on the power supply side, so the 2.5" SSD cable is usually the last thing we consider. Please note here that most mid-range and above discrete graphics cards also need to be connected to the PCIe power cable of the power supply! 8. Cable management The installation is almost complete! The rest is the most painful part: cable management. After installation, there will be a lot of messy cables, so you will need to find some cable ties to tidy them up and hide them out of sight. This is the part that requires more experience. 9. Install OS & update drivers Please support the genuine software when installing the OS. How to install the OS is explained in the "Tutorial of SSD Unboxing – The 6 Things You Should Do After Buying a New SSD": https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/info/ins.php?index_id=83 If you are lazy to search for the drivers, you can download Driver Booster. It has the latest drivers from major manufacturers and you can install them by one click: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php Conclusion Here we explain the whole installation process, and introduce how to buy a PC for only $1,000, so that you can refer to according to different needs. All the selected products can be found on Amazon. T-FORCE VULCAN Z 3200 2x8GB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QMM6NY3/ref=twister_B08L6D9P16?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 T-FORCE VULCAN G SSD 500G: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F754NPR/ref=twister_B084H9RJ5S TEAMGROUP MP33 PRO 512GB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GM9TQDB/ref=twister_B081CYW1B8 The installation process contains my own experience, and the order of the process is also based on convenience. Hope it will encourage new gamers to be more willing to try to build a PC by yourself!
The memory is going to enter the DDR5 era soon, which means that DDR4 technology is relatively mature. We've seen 8GB 3200MHz memory in stores and 32GB 4000MHz unboxing articles on forums. Comparing to three years ago, before AMD's rise to power, using 16GB 3600MHz memory with I7-8700K was already very luxurious then. DDR4 technology is much more mature than it was a few years ago, but there are times when you are so excited buying new memory, only to encounter various problems after getting it home. Today, we'll help solve some frequently asked questions to you. 1. Compatibility issues The IC, PCB, and Layout used are different for different memory manufacturers, models and specifications. Therefore, the memory QVL (Qualified Vendor List) is required to be verified for compatibility before the memory is released. The following screenshots are for reference. Usually, the QVL information is located on the motherboard page -> Support -> Memory However, there are numerous kinds of motherboards, and a motherboard manufacturer may produce 4 or 5 types of motherboards from a type chipset. With such a large number, manufacturers will prioritize upgrading newer chipsets. As the number of users of older chipsets gradually decreases, and as consumers using older chipsets usually have DRAMs that will not be upgraded, therefore manufacturers will assume that motherboards before a certain generation of the chipset will not support new ICs or specifications. In this case, if you buy a new memory and install it in the old computer, or use the new memory together with old memory, there may have incompatibility problems. Solution: Please refer to the motherboard's QVL List before buying the memory. Generally speaking, you only have to verify if the list has information such as (1) The memory manufacturer you wish to select. (2) What capacity is supported? (3) What frequency is supported? (4) How many sticks of memory can it install? It doesn't matter if the general public doesn't understand the external material number and CL value. Also, please avoid purchasing a new memory and use it with old ones that were bought a long time ago. Not only the difference of specification may cause incompatibility issues, but even products with the same specification may also be incompatible due to different ICs used in different periods. It is more effective to replace the entire set of memory if you want to upgrade. TEAMGROUP's memory will be sent to the motherboard manufacturer for verification during the development phase, and the memory will be left at the motherboard manufacturer so that it can be verified as soon as a new motherboard is released. TEAMGROUP memory is a reassuring choice thanks to the multiple verification of avoiding incompatibility issues. Here we provide some QVL list from specific motherboards for your reference. ASUS: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/TUF-GAMING-X570-PLUS-WI-FI/HelpDesk_QVL/ MSI: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/MEG-X570-ACE#support-mem-19 GIGABYTE: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-MASTER-rev-11-12/support#support-doc ASRock: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20AQUA/Specification.asp#MemoryMS 2. Overclocking issues This is a complicated question with no fixed answer. It involves the relationship between CPU, motherboard and memory. There are too many scenarios, so here is some basic logic for reference. The most frequently heard questions are: (1) I bought a 3200MHz memory, but why does it only run at 2400MHz? (2) Your specification indicates that it can go up to 4000MHz but no matter how I overclock it, it is only 3600MHz? (3) If I buy a 3200MHz product, is it guaranteed to overclock to 4000MHz? First of all, if you have a question about overclocking, be sure to provide the motherboard model, CPU model, BIOS version you are using to help us determine the situation accurately. Otherwise, any answer that is not based on comprehensive judgment is invalid! Solution: (1) For frequency issues, the first thing to consider is whether the maximum frequency supported by the motherboard meets the specification of the memory you bought. Generally, just click on the SPEC page on the motherboard and scroll down to Memory and you will see the details. (2) CPU support After all, overclocking is not a standardized specification, which means only referring to the specifications listed on the INTEL and AMD websites is not enough. It takes experience to know how much memory frequency can be overclocked by the CPU. Different motherboards will have different results, but in general the higher the CPU is, the higher the memory frequency can be overclocked. The following is a brief explanation of overclocking. For INTEL, I recommend selecting products with K at the end of the model, such as I9-10900K, I7-10700K. For AMD, I recommend picking products with X at the end of the model, such as R9-3900X, R5-3600X. If your CPU doesn't happen to fall into one of the above categories, your memory frequency may be limited to be overclocked. (3) BIOS version This is the most overlooked problem. Sometimes memory supportability will be corrected during BIOS update process, and if the older version has not been updated, the memory frequency may be limited. BIOS update can be downloaded from the official website of the motherboard manufacturer. It is recommended that for those who have not updated before, go check out the update SOP provided by the motherboard manufacturer first, because errors in the process may cause the entire motherboard to fail! (4) Check the actual representative type of the specification label It means to determine whether the frequency indicated on the memory package is the native JEDEC standard frequency, or is the frequency after XMP is enabled. JEDEC is an international solid-state technology association that sets different parameters for different frequency bands of memory. As long as the memory is produced following JEDEC standard, consumers do not need to do anything after purchasing the memory, just plug the memory onto the motherboard to meet the specifications on the package. The other type requires XMP, which is classified as an overlocking product. After buying it home, the most basic way to do is to go into the BIOS and enable XMP, and then let the motherboard read the SPD value in the memory and automatically overclock to the frequency indicated on the package. Just google JEDEC and frequency you are looking for, you will find the corresponding CL value on web pages. If the frequency and CL value of the memory you purchased match, it means it is the frequency within JEDEC standard and you can use it immediately by plugging it in. If the CL value of the memory you bought is below the JEDEC standard, then it is the type required XMP. Please note that not all motherboards can support the latest JEDEC standard frequency! Recently, JEDEC 3200MHz memory is slowly appearing on the market, but only the latest motherboard chipsets support this frequency, including the INTEL Z490, Z390, AMD TRX40, X570, B550. Therefore, if your motherboard chipset is not among them, you need to check the type of memory you purchase. Another situation is when the memory belongs to the type that requires XMP, but you haven't gone into the BIOS to enable XMP after buying it home, then it will only display the frequency without being overclocked. That is why many consumers bought 3600MHz home, but only showen 2400MHz. 3. Fully equipped with 4 modules often do problems. For optical reasons, many would like to have all RAM banks equipped on the motherboard. Since everything with the X470 / X570 or Z390 or Z490 is designed for dual channel and two ram modules would be sufficient for this, problems often arise when using four modules. A solution approach is, for example, that you only plug two modules on the mainboard and activate XMP. When the mainboard starts up and the XMP settings have been correctly applied, you can increase the memory controller voltage in the BIOS / UEFI. With AMD it is the SOC voltage and with INTEL the VCCIO voltage. Increases the voltage in small steps (0.05V steps). Save the setting and switch off the PC. Then plug the remaining two modules onto the motherboard and turn the PC back on. If everything works, the PC should start and the frequencies set in the XMP should be displayed. The background is that the memory controller is more loaded with four RAM modules (AMD external and Intel internal) and therefore requires a higher voltage for correct function. But remains in the motherboard specifications for the maximum voltages suitable for everyday use. If you have a lot of problems, take a look here https://linustechtips.com/forum/5-cpus-motherboards-and-memory/ 4. DOA problem Dead On Arrival, abbreviated as DOA, means damaged on arrival. This can happen with any electronic products, not just memory, which means that you can't avoid it completely as long as it is an electronic product. After all, the transportation environment or changing factors are unpredictable after they leave the factory. However, don't worry, as long as it is a DOA and you have proof of purchase, the manufacturer will usually let you replace it with a new one to ensure consumers' rights.
After using the computer for some time, many people want to upgrade their computers when they start to experience lag and slowdown. Usually, the first thing that comes to mind is to upgrade the SSD and the memory. Here are the 5 things you should do after you get a new memory. 1. Open the package of the memory There are a few things to pay attention to on the packaging as well! The mainstream memory packaging on the market is divided into blister and carton sleeve packaging. The label information on the packaging is particularly important. On the packaging of TEAMGROUP's memory, the product specifications, features, ICON introduction are clearly labelled, making it easy to understand at a glance. T-FORCE DELTA RGB: https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/delta-rgb-ddr4 Don't be too violent when you open the outer packaging and take out the memory. The gold contacts and IC are very fragile. 2. General visual inspection of the entire memory Major inspection item: Are the gold contacts brand new, no scratches or oxidation? Is the PCB intact, no breakage, burrs? The next is to see if the heat spreader is flat. However, I have never encountered any of these problems, so just think of it as a routine checkup. *Please avoid squeezing the IC when holding the memory. In addition, there is a product serial number sticker on every memory that you buy. Do not remove this sticker. You have to keep the sticker in order to have valid lifetime warranty. 3. Plug it onto the motherboard The memory is designed to be error-proof. The left and right sides of the middle notch are different in length. Please pay attention to the direction you insert it, otherwise the gold contacts may break if you force plugging it in! The wiring method of each motherboard is slightly different. Please refer to the user manual of the motherboard to make sure the location of the dual-channel when plugging in two memory sticks. The following image is an explanation in the ASUS motherboard user manual. The memory installation methods has been explained in "The process to handle memory errors": https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/info/ins.php?index_id=74 Reminder: Make sure to turn off the power supply before installing or uninstalling the memory, otherwise the memory may be damaged if the power is still on! 4. BIOS setting After plugging it in, make sure there are no problems with other components first, and then boot the computer. However, please check the status of the memory in BIOS before entering Windows. Please press the DELETE button in the first screen after you press the boot button, or press DELETE like crazy after you press the boot button to enter the BIOS. There are some basic information after entering the easy mode screen of BIOS, but there's not much that can be adjusted. You can adjust more with the memory after entering the advanced mode. Since different motherboard manufacturers have different hotkeys, you can refer to the description on the screen. The memory with frequency above 3200MHz on the market is dominated by overclocking memory. Only a few meet the native JEDEC 3200MHz specification, not to mention that high frequency such as 3600MHz, 4500MHz which require BIOS settings. Next, I'll show you how to reach the overclocking frequency that the manufacturer claimed, so don't ask again why only 2666MHz is displayed when you buy a 3600MHz one. Currently, there are four major motherboard manufacturers and they are divided into INTEL and AMD. For more details, please refer to: <How to overclock your RAM?> https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/info/ins.php?index_id=80 Take INTEL series of ASUS motherboard for example: After entering the advanced mode, press the right arrow key on the keyboard to move to "Extreme Tweaker" Next, press enter to select "Ai Overclock Tuner" and change to XMP, then you can press F10 to save and leave BIOS. This is a way to simply turn on XMP to read the content of the SPD in the memory. It is simple and easy for rookies, and you can correctly overclock to the frequency indicated in the memory by the following steps. If you want to adjust the frequency manually, here is a brief introduction to manual overclocking, but the matching of values and some more detailed adjustments require experience accumulation. In the same way, on the "Extreme Tweaker" page, please go to "DRAM Frequency" and press Enter to select the frequency. After selecting the frequency and press Enter to confirm, scroll down to "DRAM Timing Control" and press Enter, then you will see "DRAM CAS# Latency" which is the CL value. The next three cells of CL need to be adjusted accordingly, then try again on your own. After adjusting the CL value, voltage is the next to be considered. Press the left arrow key to go back to the previous page of the CL setting, go down to the "DRAM Voltage" and input voltage. It also requires experience to determine how much voltage is sufficient to support the set frequency. Reminder: It is recommended to increase the voltage little by little Setting too high at a time may cause memory damage! New gamers may not be able to get into Windows, and keep entering BIOS automatically due to incompatible values or settings that exceed the highest frequency supported by the motherboard and CPU. Now adjust the values again, or press the shortcut to restore all settings to default factory values, then you can enter Windows again! 5. Check the overclocking information At this point, the preparation is basically done. Don't rush to play the game just yet, make sure that the content you just adjusted is actually working. Check the operation status of the memory by using the CPU-Z software. After downloading and running the software, click on the "Memory" at the top, and then look at the DRAM Frequency at the bottom. The displayed value multiplied by 2 is the frequency in the actual operation. CPU-Z download: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html Why multiply it by two? The full name of DDR4 is Double Data Rate, therefore we need Double to calculate the frequency. Beneath the frequency, you can also see the CL value in operation. Conclusion That's it for the basic introduction to memory. Now you can also buy components to upgrade your computer, or install it yourself!
These settings are only from our recommendation. They don't mean the must do or have Below are some very simple steps for setting up Team group DRAM module for desired frequency on the Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero, Bios 3008. Because the IMC characteristics of Ryzen are way different from Intel, we decided to write this article to provide you some suggestions of how to set AMD Ryzen system easily and properly. :D!Currently we just find out this way will make your Ryzen system and our products work together easier. https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/products/t-force/gaming-memory/ Environment: Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero Bios 3008x64 CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X Storage: T-FORCE CARDEA 240GB DRAM: TEAM GROUP DARK PRO DDR4 3200mhz C14 OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 RS3 Memtest windows pro 3 Example for how to set up our DRAM modules for DDR 3200 on the AMD Ryzen system. First, choose Manual (Please don't use DOCP) Set BCLK frequency at 100 Choose 2133/2400/2666MHz as memory frequency divider Next, go back and adjust the BLCK frequency again. When you change the BCLK value, the memory frequency changes as well. Therefore, you can raise the BCLK value to reach desired DDR frequency. Set the primary timings. Last, adjust the CPU and DRAM voltage. We advise you to set it at 1.35V when using 3000mhz or higher frequency RAM, and 1.2V when using under 3000MHz RAM. After that, save BIOS and you are done for all! Hope this would help you. If you have other question, please feel free to ask!
Refer to the user manual of the motherboard. The additional setting is unnecessary because BIOS on the motherboard would detect SPD parameters on Memory Modules automatically after the memory has been installed.
With the help of some software tools, you can detect memory settings from Windows XP. These may include the CPU-Z, SiSoft Sandra and EVEREST. In addition, SiSoft Sandra and EVEREST are equipped with the efficiency verification solution to further validate whether or not the performance based on the SPD settings is achieved.
Have you ever encountered installing or boot issue while using the memory? Do you know how to use the memory correctly? Let's introduce the simple memory debugging process now! 1. Installation method The correct hand position for installing the memory can ensure the force on the gold contacts of the memory is even to avoid damage. When installing the memory, make sure there's no dust or foreign objects on the gold contacts of the memory and the motherboard slots. Foreign objects or dander might easily burn the memory. 2. PC won't boot (Cannot enter BIOS) First, refer to the order of the motherboard memory slot. → Install the memory (single or dual channel) in the correct memory slots of the motherboard. → Check if it can boot normally. →dual channel →single channel The memory slots of each brand of the motherboard have a custom order. Please refer to the manual of the motherboard. If already installed in the correct position but still can't boot. → Install a single memory in a slot of the motherboard in turns for testing. → Find out which memory has a problem / If the problem that the PC is unable to boot has been confirmed, please contact the manufacturer for repair. Cross test to see if there is a problem with the memory slots of the motherboard. → Install the memory that works normally in DIMM1~DIMM4 in turns to see if all DIMM slots are working. If there's another motherboard available → Install memory on the different motherboard to see if it's working normally. → If it is still not working, it can be inferred that it is caused by the memory. 3. RGB lighting issue If RGB memory's lighting is not working, it is mostly caused by the LED lightbulbs. It should be sent for repair directly. If RGB memory's lighting cannot be controlled, please install and test with only one RGB software, or update RGB software to the latest version. While testing, please make sure other software is completely uninstalled. Please do not use alcohol or eraser to clean gold fingers.

(AP) -- Two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay has retired after 16 seasons in the major leagues with Toronto and Philadelphia.
The 36-year-old right-hander signed a one-day contract Monday to retire as a member of the Blue Jays, where he spent the first 12 years of his career. He made the announcement at a news conference at the winter meetings in Orlando.
Halladay played for the Phillies from 2010-13, finishing with two injury-plagued seasons. He won an NL Cy Young Award in 2010, throwing a perfect game that season and a no-hitter in his first postseason game.
Halladay was 203-105 with an ERA of 3.38 in 416 career games, including 390 starts. He had 67 complete games and 20 shutouts.

Beaulieu Sponsors March of Dimes imbornto campaign
Dalton GA, March 12, 2013– Beaulieu of America executives announced today Beaulieu's sponsorship of the March of Dimes imbornto campaign for 2013.
Beaulieu will donate $0.50 for every yard of selected styles of Bliss carpet sold during May and June.
Beaulieu's Bliss carpet brand joins with Kmart, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, ProFlowers and other well-known brands to be the "official sponsor of Mother's Day and Father's Day" with its support of this March of Dimes annual fund-raising drive.
According to Chad Royal-Pascoe, vice president of national partnerships and cause marketing for the March of Dimes, "The imbornto campaign recognizes that every baby is born to do something great. So our goal is to help them be born strong and healthy."
Since its founding by President Franklin Roosevelt, March of Dimes has funded accomplishments such as the polio vaccine, the discovery of the double helix in DNA and expanded newborn screening for every baby in every state.
"We are extremely excited about this unique opportunity to support something so worthwhile as this," said Ralph Boe, CEO of Beaulieu of America. "This is a cause that resonates with everyone of us."
Gary Fisher, EVP of Marketing for Beaulieu of America, said that while this is a year long partnership, much of the support will be focused during late spring, early summer: Mother's Day and Father's Day. "Beaulieu's participation with our Bliss brand will be featured throughout this national campaign in USA Today and Martha Stewart Living ads, as well as outdoor boards in major U.S. cities. We will also promote this cause with our Bliss dealers, nationwide."

Clint Upchurch of the Colt 3-Gun Shooting Team was kind enough to take DefenseReview (DR) through the Colt Pro CRP-18 (called the "Colt CR Pro" in the embedded video, below) semi-auto-only, direct-gas-impingement (DGI) AR carbine at SHOT Show 2013. Since this 18-inch (18")-barreled rifle/carbine was specifically developed by Colt Competition Rifles for 3-Gun competitive shooting, it comes with all the bells and whistles, just like th Colt Pro CRP-16 with 16-inch (16") barrel. The barrels on both guns are fluted for weight reduction, by the way.
Both guns feature Colt's proprietary and very cool toolless adjustable gas block/gas system, and are relatively lightweight (competition) ARs thanks to the fluted barrels and lightweight modular rail systems. The muzzle brake/compensator also looked interesting. If you're looking for a 3-Gun AR, they're definitely worth taking a serious look at.
Editor's Note: One of the reasons we wanted to take a look at these guns at SHOT was because one of our contributors' expressed an interest in it's out-of-the-box viability for 3-Gun competition, as it looks like a well-thought-out package.
Defense Review likes the handling qualities of this gun, although we haven't run it at the range, yet. The Geissele Automatics SSA-E (Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced) two-stage match trigger is excellent, as are all Geissele triggers. Obviously, a great trigger is crucial on any competition gun, and DR is a big fan of Geissele's.
Assuming the Colt Pro CRP-18 and Colt Pro CRP-16 go bang every time you pull the trigger and are accurate they're claimed to be, the guns should be winners.

This article is a reprint of Wise Bread's contribution to OPEN Forum from American Express -- where small business owners can get advice from experts and share tips with each other.
Everyone's heard the cliché that you're the average of the five people you see most. While I haven't come across any scientific proof of this, common sense says that if you spend time around successful people, you'll learn some valuable things from them. "The people you associate with definitely determine your level of expectations of yourself," says Jimmy Hendricks, co-founder and CEO of DealCurrent, a San Diego-based company that makes software for daily deal sites,
How do you meet the kind of entrepreneurs, investors and mentors who will inspire you to raise your game? You've got to make the most of the time you put into networking. Here are some ideas on where to spend some time building your brain trust.
Join Your Local Tech Meetup
"I think it's generally useful for any major city," says Brad Feld, a serial entrepreneur and investor who is co-founder and managing director of the Boulder, Colo. venture capital firm the Foundry Group. "The Boulder [New] Tech Meetup has become very large — about 500 people a month. The New York one is about 800 people. That's the best way to build the network you don't currently have.
Share Some Java
In many cities you can make great connections at OpenCoffee Clubs, first launched in March 2007 to bring together entrepreneurs and investors in local communities. "These are informal gatherings of entrepreneurs, usually every other week — a coffee shop breakfast type thing, from 8:30 am to 10 am or 7:30 am to 9 am," says Feld. "The networking tends to be very, very good. It's entrepreneurs that are all close to each other and very inclusive of anyone new who shows up."
Hit Your Local Campus
Even if you bypassed college or it's been years since you sat in a lecture hall, don't ignore the resources available at colleges and universities in your community. Many larger schools will have an entrepreneurship center that is either run by the business school or as a cross-campus effort. Often, they host talks by leading entrepreneurs and investors and offer free workshops to local business owners on topics like sharpening a business plan.
Participate in a Business Plan Competition
Run by business schools, venture capital firms and other entrepreneur-friendly organizations, these contests can be a great place to meet others in the entrepreneurial community, get feedback that will help you improve your business and raise your profile. DealCurrent's Hendricks says his firm enters them as often as possible. "We started early and built our reputation," he says.
Lounges at Airports and Hotels
Instead of staying glued to your laptop on business trips, spend a little time in these gathering spots, suggests Eric Sedransk, founder of The Early Birdie, a group discount site for golfers based in Jersey City, N.J. You're likely to meet other business people who have experienced flight delays and have time on their hands. "If you introduce yourself and hit it off, you may have two hours to solidify that relationship," he says.
Join a Structured Entrepreneurship Group
If you run a substantial sized small business, consider joining Entrepreneurs Organization, a worldwide group, advises Feld, who founded two local chapters. "If you are a high growth entrepreneur, it's probably the best way to find your peers and actively engage with them in a deep and consistent way," says Feld. "When I was in my twenties, it was incredibly valuable to me professionally."
Get on Top of LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook
Sedransk says the social media sites have been invaluable for expanding his network in his industry. Even if someone has no time to meet in person, you can still get to know him or her by email or phone, notes Feld. "For many people, `face time' is not actually that key,'" he says. "There are a lot of people who have developed very significant relationships with me and we've never met."
A final word: No matter where you network, you've got to be consistent about showing up to make real connections. Say you like in-person gatherings. "It will probably take you three or four months before you feel like you are part of the community," says Feld. "It's important to keep showing up."
And once you do get there, look for ways you can help the other members, instead of asking for things or selling something. "If you show up with a mentality of giving more than you get, you'll be welcomed into the community and lots of doors will open for you," he says.

Are Pagers Obsolete?
Are Pagers Obsolete?
These days, it is unusual to see people with pagers on their belts. The hot accessory and workplace essential has mostly been replaced by the cellphone. Pagers now are used primarily by people in the health care industry.
This next story is for people who go for old-school technology. If you're the kind of person who owns a tube television - not one of those flat screens - nothing wrong with that. Or maybe you're the kind of person who has an old Walkman with cassette tapes hiding in a drawer somewhere. Maybe you even still use it. And if you're holding on to technology that others have deemed obsolete, you are not alone.
Reporter Tracey Samuelson found some dated devices in a place that might surprise you.
TRACEY SAMUELSON, BYLINE: Pagers were the cool, must-have gadget of the 1980s, popular with Wall Street bankers and hip-hop stars...
SIR MIX A LOT: (Rapping) I'm rolling like a Playboy, beep, beep, beep. Just another page, just another freak.
SAMUELSON: Now pagers are primarily used by one industry - health care. Over 90 percent of hospitals still use pagers. But that's changing.
Dr. Sunny Shah is standing in the ER of the NYU Langone Medical Center. In one hand, Shah holds a small hospital-issued pager with a greenish screen and dated ringtone.
DR. SUNNY SHAH: The last time I personally used a pager is probably when I was 13 years old and I guess late middle school.
SAMUELSON: Then he started working in hospitals and the pager came back into his life. But in Shah's other hand is a shiny new iPhone - one of about 50 the hospital recently purchased for its emergency and internal medicine departments.
Dr. Dan Shine is running the iPhone pilot program. He says smartphones are - no surprise - streamlining communication.
DR. DAN SHINE: And in hospitals that is the name of the game. You need to communicate with the resident, with the attending, with the senior doctor, with the emergency department.
SAMUELSON: In the old system, you'd have to send separate pages to each person you wanted to get a message to. Then they'd all flood to nurses' stations and line up to use the phone. It was time-consuming and meant staff were constantly leaving patients to return calls.
So even in the hospital world, pagers are becoming a bit passe.
BRIAN EDDS: Doctors don't want to carry a pager anymore. They want to carry their iPhone or their Android device.
SAMUELSON: Brian Edds is a mobile product manager at Amcom Software, which makes communication programs for hospitals - both for pagers and for smartphones.
EDDS: They don't understand why they can't, you know, get all these critical messages on their smartphone just like they receive all their other communications in their life.
SAMUELSON: Edds is literally the only person I could find who still tracks pager use. The market research firms I talked to stopped studying pagers so long ago, they no longer even keep records of the data. But Edds says even though pagers are still widely used, 70 percent of hospitals report using or experimenting with smartphones.
Still, switching over completely is more complicated than just swapping devices. Smartphones' extra functionality comes with complications, like safeguarding all the patient information that lives on the phone. Pagers, on the other hand, are simple, reliable.
EDDS: The little things, like replacing batteries. Your smartphone runs out of battery, it takes a while to charge. A pager runs out of battery, you pop a new triple-A in there.
SAMUELSON: And then there's price. Between equipment, data plans, developing apps, NYU Langone spent $10,000 to $20,000 to pilot just 16 phones. Which all means Edds expects the pager to coexist with smartphones in hospitals for the next decade. The pager is dead, long live the pager.

- Engaged customers via the screens, devices, and channels they prefer most by leveraging data
"Data directs our creativity and the way we engage with customers across products, screens, and channels. Our creativity extends beyond aesthetics with Adobe Advertising Cloud, and using data to activate audience segments, we can get the attention of the audiences that drive our business".
Steve Weeks
Director, Media Strategy and Planning, Adobe
The path less traveled
Programmatic advertising has an image problem. Many companies view it as low quality, low impact, limited in functionality, and vulnerable to fraud. So why did Adobe decide to take a 100% programmatic approach with its latest global advertising campaign?
Adobe Advertising Cloud provides a new path for success. The Adobe solution is an independent, end-to-end platform for managing advertising across a full spectrum of channels—including display, video, social, audio, TV, and digital out of home—delivering high-impact, brand-safe, dynamic campaigns.
By using high-quality customer data, combined with greater visibility into campaign performance, Advertising Cloud provides marketers the control over programmatic that they've never experienced before. As a result, companies can connect with high-value audiences everywhere they engage with content.
Adobe prides itself on using captivating, creative marketing campaigns to engage customers' imaginations. Its latest Experience Business campaign is no exception. The campaign's focus was to strengthen Adobe's position as an experience business enterprise solutions provider featuring firsthand accounts of what it means for businesses across industries to deliver great customer experiences. It targets C-level executives—including CMOs, CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, and CXOs—with high-impact creative that its brand is built upon.
Previously, Adobe only invested 20% of its advertising budget in programmatic campaigns. By taking a 100% programmatic advertising approach, Adobe can leverage first-party audience data, find the best ways to reach them, and measure impact. At the same time, Adobe can provide executives with a new level of transparency into the power of programmatic advertising.
"Data directs our creativity and the way we engage with customers across products, screens, and channels," says Steve Weeks, Director of Media Strategy and Planning at Adobe. "Our creativity extends beyond aesthetics with Adobe Advertising Cloud, and using data to activate audience segments, we can get the attention of the audiences that drive our business."
In addition, transparency offered by Adobe Advertising Cloud—knowing exactly where ads are running and what fees are being added by publishers—helps ensure that campaigns perform optimally without sacrificing brand safety by advertising on inappropriate sites. Added visibility also helped Adobe advertising teams gain buy-in quickly for the new strategy and create momentum behind the new campaign.
"Today's most successful brands focus their energy on delivering a consistent, unified experience through many different channels. We're using Adobe Advertising Cloud and this all-programmatic approach because we can now effectively target audiences by analyzing their behaviors and actions online and engage with them more naturally".
Alex Amado
Vice President, Experience Marketing, Adobe
Powered by intelligence
This is a new direction for a business that's relied on traditional media and ad buying strategies. It's no longer just focusing on outlets that intuitively align with what marketers think Adobe audiences will engage with, but now addresses the specific interests, behaviors, and preferences of customers. With Adobe Advertising Cloud, the team can now analyze actions—such as time spent on a page or navigation patterns—across channels and leverage data from multiple sources to target customers where and when optimal opportunities exist.
With Adobe Advertising Cloud—including Advertising Cloud TV, the cross-screen planner, and display, social, audio, and video capabilities—Adobe has enabled marketers to target audiences more precisely. Through its integration with Adobe Analytics and Adobe Audience Manager, both part of Adobe Analytics Cloud, Adobe measured on-site engagement and used that as a signal to optimize media placements toward higher engagement.
"Data provided us the right business case to move forward with the campaign, but it wasn't until we got our first few wins that executives could really understand the potential," says Weeks. "In-depth reporting provided by the Advertising Cloud team enabled us to effectively communicate how we connect with high-value audiences and at what cost, and helps us refine our strategies on an ongoing basis."
After the first six months of running the solely programmatic campaign, Adobe found that display and video viewability, impressions in target markets, brand safety, and fraud-free success metrics were at or well above industry benchmarks—validated by DoubleVerify. The team also cut cost per thousand impressions (CPM) by more than half, from $25 to $12.
Most importantly, Adobe is continuing to deliver experiences that are brand safe and engage with customers more organically. "Today's most successful brands focus their energy on delivering a consistent, unified experience through many different channels," says Alex Amado, Vice President, Experience Marketing at Adobe. "We're using Adobe Advertising Cloud and this all-programmatic approach because we can now effectively target audiences by analyzing their behaviors and actions online and engage with them more naturally."
Learnings gained through Adobe's programmatic activities are also helping to support traditional online and offline advertising efforts. Adobe can view which content runs on premium inventory and what was most viewed by target audiences, helping the company further refine strategies for linear TV and offline advertising.
"Adobe has a clear vision of what it wants to achieve through programmatic advertising. We're enhancing what Adobe is doing with Adobe Advertising Cloud by diving deeper into data, leveraging our expertise from working on other programmatic campaigns, and offering refinements—such as improvements to buying strategies—that build on the company's success".
Alison Finley
Senior Partner and Senior Director, WaveMaker
Moving the needle
Adopting a data-driven, programmatic approach to marketing has surpassed Adobe's expectations for delivering on visibility, customer experience, and over 70 KPIs. In near real time, Adobe can view which channels are driving desired results and advertising teams can adjust spend within minutes based on results, as well as make hourly or daily optimizations.
In addition to leveraging analytics within Adobe Experience Cloud, Adobe worked with a close agency partner, WaveMaker, to provide added oversight for its Experience Business campaign, and enhance account-based marketing strategies. A strong collaboration between WaveMaker and the Advertising Cloud media strategy team helped Adobe develop innovative strategies to take advantage of new social channels, including LinkedIn, and identified key drivers behind success, such as pairing video and display advertising.
"Adobe has a clear vision of what it wants to achieve through programmatic advertising," says Alison Finley, Senior Partner and Senior Director at WaveMaker. "We're enhancing what Adobe is doing with Adobe Advertising Cloud by diving deeper into data, leveraging our expertise from working on other programmatic campaigns, and offering refinements—such as improvements to buying strategies—that build on the company's success."
Over the course of the Experience Business campaign, the partners have helped boost awareness and engaged customer visit rates by 1.5X, compared to the previous two quarters. This success is attributed to an increase in reach using multiple channels—30% higher than what was previously possible—as well as more successfully targeting key audiences. Additionally, Adobe can take better advantage of digital out-of-home channels—such as digital billboards, bus station signage, electronic elevator signs, and similar—to be everywhere customers are and expand its reach.
"The best feedback we got from our Experience Business campaign was from our customers, letting us know that they found us on some unlikely websites," says Weeks. "They typically followed with the question, 'What made you think to connect with me there?' Our response was simple—'Because you were there.' Adobe Advertising Cloud enabled us to make that vision a reality."
Adobe has also seen a 13% increase in unaided awareness and has increased customer association between Adobe and the "Make Experience Your Business" tagline from 16% to 27%. Adobe is also seeing an overall improvement in perception across customer segments by up to 6% on customer surveys.
"Our mission is to put customers at the heart of everything we do," says Weeks. "Programmatic, data-driven advertising is helping us reinforce that message and connect with customers how they want and where they are."
From Adobe's perspective, the more automated approach is also enabling advertising and marketing teams to spend more time on strategy and creative, instead of daily management of media accounts and administrative tasks. Further integrating customer and website data from Adobe Analytics Cloud will enable Adobe to leverage even more audience and behavioral data to better target campaign content.
