Does it have dual BIOS? Good idea to try the secondary one if it does.

I don't care if it can fly out and give me a damn reacharound, I DONT WANT IT.

Its way better, but honestly the biggest change they made that lets me have fun is the world tier 1-2 helltide. I am not a hardcore, grind to 100, get endgame loot and do the hardest content player. I'm a casual player, I just want to kill some mobs and have fun. This made it fun.

This right here. This is the benchmark for mice for me now, as a former MS Intellimouse (still have 2 of them) and MX518 user, this one is the best I've used in modern times. I have probably 20 mice (mouses? meece?) in my house collecting dust and this bad boy gets the job done. No extra buttons...

I'd honestly just 3M double sided tape a thin fan behind the board there. Just to get some air moving and it would be fine.

Man thats tempting, if I didn't already have a 4080S I would be all over it.

This one is the one I got, for the price I really can't complain about it. It was 10% off and had a $70 rebate when I got it.

Considering a 4080S is 25-40% ahead of a 3080ti depending on the game, you should get a huge boost moving to the 50 series.

Funny, you posted this right as I was re-downloading the game. I've had it since early access started, then I went thru when it launched fully but the main quest was broken so I deleted it for a year.

BIOS is up to date. The card hasn't had a driver revision since 2020 so getting a new one might not be a bad idea. Interestingly, if I put it in my main rig (also a Gigabyte B650 with a 7800X3D) it doesn't do this, but it does show extremely slow speed tests. Like sitting at the PC my phone gets...

Well I found the problem, it was the TP-link wifi add in card we got from his old rig. I took everything out of the case and built just the bare bones mobo + 1 stick of RAM with nothing else on top of the cardboard box and it worked fine, so I was suspicious of the case and power supply. I moved...

No it has 2 ports, I have tons of cables so I tried both.

Does it all the time. I tried another monitor too. Going to swap the chip to my machine tomorrow and see if it does it there, don't have the time to mess with it any more tonight.

This is a new system for a friend, its based on a microcenter bundle with a 7700X and a Gigabyte B650 mATX board, 64GB DDR5 5600. Originally I was going to put my 7800XT in it but it was too long for the case so to check everything else I used the integrated GPU. When I got it running and into...

This program is one of the only ones that really catches stuff on DDR5. I've had memory overclocks crashing in games that AIDA64, OCCT, Memtest, etc all passed with flying colors but 30 seconds of Karhu pulls errors. I paid the $10 for it. Its running on my other rig right now testing a 6000...

Yeah I agree, I've been using a 27" 160hz 4K from KTC I got on sale for $279. Its pixel perfect, square base stand instead of the disgusting V shaped one, and generally other than having a kind of meh matte coating its exxcellent for the price. I've been thinking about a mini-LED one myself, but...

I think I still have one of these in a box somewhere.

Yeah, nah. 99.9999% chance this is faked and fudged just like literally everything else China copies builds.

Core clock is the base speed of the chip. Boost Clock is the Nivida branding, and it references the general gaming speed you should see, usually quite a bit higher than the core clock. Game clock is AMD's version. Both technologies do the same thing, increasing performance within the thermal...

I tried booting into my spare drive with an installation of Mint on it last week, I was able to update everything, download steam and play helldivers 2 with a reasonable frame rate. I did have some minor texture issues with the game but nothing too bad. The only troubleshooting I had to do was...

AFAIK those backplates are aluminum. I know the one on my Gigabyte 7900XTX is and the MSI 4090 I had for a bit had a metal one too.

You want Memory Context Restore and Power Down enabled. PD is in the advanced memory timings menu at the bottom. If you're under 30 seconds or so, I would call it a win. My ASRock B650 was like 4 seconds to desktop, my current Gigabyte takes about 15-20 seconds. Not like it was at launch taking...

Its a little stiff, you could also just run the GPU in some games for a while with the side of the case off, that'll heat it up too. The nice thing is once its trained into position it stays there nicely.

I had that same Corsair cable for my RM1000x, don't be afraid of it just bend the crap out of it. Those molded non-sleeved cable ends are very tough (unlike the Nvidia supplied adapter). And yes, the cable is good for 300x2 for the full 600 watts. Most 4090s don't even make it to 450w though.

Yeah I think that was an X370 board. Anyways, I follow the instructions now.

Understandable. It gets under my skin if I can't fix it so I tend to keep messing with it lol Last year when I had a messed up machine it took me 4-5 months to figure it out. After the second week I just built another cheap rig to use in the mean time.

Yeah there are some, I had one a few months ago that had like 22 updates and you could only go to like F13 then F17 then F22 or whatever it was. It said it in yellow text above the download. I've only ignored that text once and bricked a board and had to use an external ch341 programmer to fix...

With Gigabyte you also have to be aware of the version ladder, sometimes you can't just jump to the latest one.

Are you sure you're not actually in windows with no display? The fans should only shut down after the driver is loaded. I would really suggest getting your trusty #2 phillips out and removing the card so you can plug the monitor into your onboard graphics port. Matter of fact, this sounds like...

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes these things happen, I went through it last year with a 7950X3D build that took months to get working right.

I did say to read the instructions carefully~ Pull the video card out, use onboard graphics and one stick of RAM. Pull all the drives out. Keep it simple until its stable.

Bro you have Q-flash on the I/O panel. use it. Follow the instructions carefully though!

The only important thing I need to know: CAN I HAVE A DIRE WOLF. I need a Daishi in my life again.

Intel is the only one left out here lol Drivers crash, it happens. My own 7900XTX had the driver crash 3-4 times this week just watching a youtube video but it games just fine so I haven't bothered to investigate that much

Nice work. I've only ever used my CH341 for reprogramming motherboard BIOS chips, didn't realize the GPUs can be done the same way externally.

Specialized in a subject, yes. But still able to string together a coherent sentence without help from a fucking AI. Isn't that the hallmark of an educated person throughout the ages? Being literate and able to communicate effectively is the basic standard regardless of what major you went for.

I keep hearing ads for grammarly(?) talking about how it can write the papers for you and do your citations so you never have to learn how. Like, I thought that was the point of going to school?

Can always try the good old fashioned CPU reseat too, I don't know if you've done that yet.

Yeah I have a couple of wraiths laying around and I only use them on really low end chips because those things scream lol There are a lot of really good cooler in the $25-35 range that would be a nice improvement.
