Hey, so I changed a few setting in my bios being I increased my RAM frequency from 3600mhz to 3800mhz and I enabled a feature called “resize BAR”. I have an Asus rog strix b550-f gaming Wi-Fi edition. Any help on what it is? My pc just wouldn’t post, then it did and now I get a blue screen maybe 5 seconds after booting into windows.

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

try setting the ram mt/s back to 3600

#

is ur kit 3600?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:43 AM

#

Let me check

#

I found info that says 3200 and info that says 3600. It worked on 3600 before however.

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

what ram are u using?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

G.skill ripjaws v 16gb (8gb x 2)

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

I'm assuming it's probs a 3200mt/s jdec spec and 3600xmp/expo kit

#

and 3800 is probs out of spec for this one

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

It refused to boot on anything above 3800 but crashed on 3800

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

usually there's a label on the box it came in, there should be mt/s and timings info on that

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

Let me grab that brb

#

You know I think I threw it away actually

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

oof

#

do u have a receipt?

#

that or hwinfo would work

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

Stick says 3600

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

#

in cpuz or hwinfo u should get more detailed spec, sorta like this ^

#

and the xmp/expo settings that the ram came with

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

I’ll do that in a sec just gonna put my ram back in lol

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

also what's the rest of ur build? just in case it's a rebar issue

#

Cpu is Ryzen 7 5800x, gpu is 3080ti FE

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

should be fine then imo, are ur drivers/bios updated?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

Drivers yea, I’ll check bios

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

what's the spd page like?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

idk

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

srry pressed enter too soon

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

yeah it's a 3600 kit, imo just stick with the xmp/expo default

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

so 3600?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

yeah

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:00 AM

#

i wonder if i could get aqway with 3660 😈

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:00 AM

#

there should just be a expo/docp toggle in bios settings, shouldn't have to manually adjust anything

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:00 AM

#

i set it to auto once and it gave me 2100

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

technically u can probs get away with 3800 but that's ur call on how much time u want to put into getting familiar with ram oc and adjusting voltage/timings

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

would it really be worth it?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

for most cases I just toggle xmp on and call it a day since the most u will probs get out of it is maybe 3% more perf and in real world results, like 5fps or something

#

it's not something u can even notice anyways

#

unless ur doing memory intensive conpression/decompression and that's literally ur work and ur making money out of ur pc and the 3-5% gains will make u money faster lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

lol

#

i was wondering since recently my computer has been performing noiceably worse and idk why

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

how long have u had the pc?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

ooh maybe like a year and a half? maybe 2? i dont know wxactly

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

could be dust buildup/paste drying out if u use it a lot daily

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

maybe

#

i cleaned some dust out recently but i havent changed paste

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

if it's been abt 2yrs probs a good time to repaste

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

i was using the default paste on my cooler lol, i got some noctua stuff but never applied it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

how are the temps/perf under load? idk if u kept benchmark numbers from when it's new

#

usually I do a full bench suite with a new system and that way I have references to go back to for troubleshooting and warranty reasons, not sure if u kept any

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

i didnt

#

it was my first build i didnt think about that

#

but an example would be like in a game like fortnite i could go medium settings and get 200+ fps and now i can barely hit 90

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

oh wtf that's like a lot lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

yea

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

which game is that

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

fortnite

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

not too familiar with it, did the game change a lot since then?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

i knew perf would drop form the update to the new unreal engine but i wasnt expecting that much

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

if anything the game should be better optimized after 2yrs but idk abt fortnite lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

idk, they switched to unreal 5 and i started using DX12 not long ago but thats about it really

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

I play apex a lot and they recently did a big overhaul to dx12 and dx12 ultimate compatible and now the game runs at 240fps pinned lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

my fans seemed a little quieter recently under load but i havbe no idea as to why

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

dx12 and ue5 should help with frame time consistency if anything tbh

#

hmm probs time to dust out/clean and repaste

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

yea

#

ill look into how to paste and i might do it today

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

but dust/paste alone shouldn't half ur perf tho so probs still something to do with fortnite

#

did u notice any issues with other games/programs?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

its not just that game

#

in generaly i have a decrease in performance

#

im worried about repasting tho as i have an AIO and i dont wanna mess it up

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

how is the aio mounted

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

top

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:14 AM

#

should be fine then pump wise, if u mounted pump up top, it could have been the pump dying over time from bubbles

#

any hardware changes since new?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

swapped ssd

#

and a few fans

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

shouldn't be an issue either tbh Thonk

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

This is my mount for aio

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

sorta stumped at this point lol

#

how are the temps/power draw under load?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

let me check

#

anythign specific you want me to use to check? like a benchmark or something or just try laoding a game

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

what's the case? is it a mesh version of phanteks Px00?

#

cinebench if u have it or any game u play

#

like hop into a firing range or something

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

its a phanteks p500a i think

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

is it the mesh version?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

what is that

#

like what differences?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

first pic

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

they used to do a solid front which is horrible for airflow

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

ah

#

i didnt know they used to have that

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

yeah but p500 mesh is a great case tbh so shouldn't be a airflow issue

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:20 AM

#

Ok I’m gonna attempt to use cinebench

#

Multi core?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:21 AM

#

just pop open the sensors for hwinfo too so u can see the power draw as well sorta like this

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:22 AM

#

I’ll have to do it again after downloading hwinfo, I downloaded cpuz

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:22 AM

#

#

just check the sensors only and that should pop up

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:23 AM

#

Cpuz says max TDP for cpu is 105 if that helps

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:24 AM

#

tdp doesn't really cover the actual usuage since just about any cpus since the early core series goes over the tdp

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:24 AM

#

Ok

#

How many passes does this thing do

#

Also idk if this is related but my gpu fans turned off completely

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:26 AM

#

oh there should be an option to do just one run

#

#

just have this as off

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:26 AM

#

I’m at 100% cpu usage lol

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

yeah that's sorta the benchmark tbh lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

Yea it’s just never been that high before

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

chilly hemlock just pop open the sensors for hwinfo too so u can see the power draw as well sor...

just grab a screenshot like this

#

with temps/frequency/power

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:28 AM

#

Ok new benchmark with that setting off

#

now im downloding hwinfo

#

Alright it’s going

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:32 AM

#

it's about 1k pts below average, do u have any oc or is it running stock rn?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:32 AM

#

I think stock

#

#

new pts is 14150

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

aight gonna look into it, brb

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

ok

#

i am gonna look at a tutorial on how to not screw up the rescrewing in of my cooler

#

oh i am so lucky my paste came with wipes

#

maybe the pts difference is my thermal paste

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

looked into it and it looks like it should be able to hit 4.5ghz all core and be at about 120w instead of 80w and 4.2

#

also doesn't look like it's a temp issue since peak is like 45c

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

alright

#

this is single core btw if you need it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

do u have pbo on in bios?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

What is that just to refresh my mind

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

precision boost overdrive, amd's auto oc kinda thing

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

I’ll check in a second when my benchmark finishes

#

Btw do you have a recommended pattern for thermal paste? The box says 5 dots but I saw only one elsewhere

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

yeah single core takes a while

#

tbh pattern doesn't really matter as long as it covers the whole ihs

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Ok

#

I’ll go with the 5 dot then ig

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

tbh when I do it I just go in with my finger and spread it over the whole thing

#

but dots, crosses, :) all works lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

Would it go over the cpu when I put my cooler on tho?

#

Like spread to motherboard itself

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

shouldn't be an issue unless u unloaded the whole tube

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

1373 on single core

#

Gone check for that bios setting now

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

hmm that's a bit lower than average too

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

PBO is all set to auto

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

what are the options under the drop down menu?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

Varies

#

Some say auto, disable or enable, some also add manual, some only have auto and manual, some are auto only

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

yeah the auto default should be fine

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

I can set a max temp for my cpu?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

yeah, usually no need to tho since the cpu already has a tjmax temp set

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

Ok

#

So leave them all on auto?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

hmm honestly probs best to take this to #overclocking tho since I'm not too familiar with amd oc settings, more an intel guy lol

#

but yeah auto for pbo works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

Ok

#

Anything else before I restart

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

if u didn't change anything just exit bios works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

Ok

#

I set fan profile to turbo instead of standard that’s it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

just give them the rundown and post the cinebench/hwinfo pics and others should be able to help with overclocking since u have a lot of temp headroom and the benchmark scores are below average

#

fans are ur own preference tbh, if u don't mind the extra noise turbo is gonna give the best cooling

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

Maybe my gpu is the problem for the low performance?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

we can take a look at that too, do u have 3dmark?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

Not yet but I can get it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

should be on steam, forgot how much it is tho

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

Oh it’s not free

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

furmark works too and that sould be free

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

I’ll do that

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

yeah 3dmark works a lot better since it gives a good breakdown of frequencty/load/temps and other data

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

I don’t have $35 lol

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

but furmark and hwinfo works as well for free, just not in as nice a package

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

Ok

#

Shoidl I set the resolution to my monitor or soenthing else

#

here what do i select?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

default works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

so 720?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

yup

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

ok

#

#

couldnt open hwinfo at the same time

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

wait till the temp curve is more or less flat and see what the max temp is

#

oh that works too

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

cool

#

i wonder if something is stopping my fans from spinning up

#

they stay constant all the time, including gpu fan pretty much

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

try getting hwinfo open at the same time so u can track power and and rest of the specs

#

and get a pic of the test itself

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:11 AM

#

do i hit gpu stress test instead of the preset? maybe then it wont be fullscreen?

#

ahaha

#

got it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:12 AM

#

oh, yeah that

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:13 AM

#

#

still climbing a little ill sned the final one too

#

do i stop it whenever or what?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

yeah when it's near flat

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

ok i stopped it, max temp was 76.5 celcius

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

aight grab a screenshot of that and can u also run the 1440 preset once

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

it neverm showed a final windows after

#

do you want 1440 for my monitor aspect ratio or just standard

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

golden smelt

yeah that's fine, just the test window works like u had it here

#

standard

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

I wish my fans would start up more they are on idle speeds it seems like

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

the gpu fans?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

Yea

#

They are either off or on the same speed always

#

#

same with my case fans and cpu fans

#

same speed

#

always

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

which sku is ur gpu?

https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards

Afterburner

MSI Afterburner is the world’s most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking utility. It provides detailed overview of your hardware and comes with some additional features like customizing fan profiles, benchmarking and video recording.

#

grab afterburner and u can adjust the fancurver there

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

ok

#

is it not possible in nvidia software or what?

#

that seems dumb if its not

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

idk if nvidia made one, I just skip all their bloatware tbh

#

haven't touched geforce experience since like 2019

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

i can change temperature target

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

and they require sign in for it now just to collect telemetry

#

yeah u can change the fancurve from there

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

what should i do to it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

what is it like rn?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:26 AM

#

idk i dont see a curve adjustment specifically outside of my bios

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:26 AM

#

oh it should show in afterburner

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:27 AM

#

man, i love this pc but, some of this stuff is just plain easier to do on my macbook

#

i have like 50 software on this thing just for each part and each control cuz nobody can work together apparently

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

yeah that the one thing I miss abt my 2012mbp lmao, stuff just works (worked in this case but it's like 11yrs old)

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:29 AM

#

i have one app on there to see temps, adjust fan speeds, and everything, where on here i need 50 things that are impossible to remove

#

why is afterburner installing 3 other programs

#

ok i have it

#

along with whatever else it just did

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:31 AM

#

the monitoring side of afterburner is a side program

#

yeah sorta a mess

#

but it works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:32 AM

#

it also reinstalled direct x for some reason?

#

anyway what now

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:32 AM

#

apparently u didn't have a game that needed the version of direct x that afterburner runs on https://linustechtips.com/topic/1459440-msi-afterburner-installing-directx/

i already had that version lol. i guess it just didnt like it for some reason

anyway how do i use this thing

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:36 AM

#

#

should be in settings and fancurve

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:37 AM

#

i dont see any of that

#

is it "curve editor"?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:37 AM

#

maybe on a different skin, they keep changing it

#

yeah crv editor

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:37 AM

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:37 AM

Linus Tech Tips

Does this look like a good fan curve for a GTX 960?

This is the 960 that I have in my secondary desktop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013LDXPFO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If I check the box in MSI Afterburner for "enable user defined automatic fan control" it shows what's in the pictures which I assume is the current/defa...

something like this

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:38 AM

#

ok got it now

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

u can bump it up or down depending on if ur ok with the noise or not and also for perf

#

basically like if u want more perf/lower temp bump it higher, or if u hate fan noise bring it down a bit

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

if i do this what will happen

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

it's gonna be really noisy ig but it technically works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

ok i understand

#

what about this

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

so in this case, with temps from 0-40 it's gonna use 50% fan and ramp up from there as defined by the crv

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

ok

#

its pretty quiet so ig thats good. if i usually get to 75 celcius under load should i up my speed a little?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

yeah that works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

#

that look good?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

yup that works

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

ima try the furmark again

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

there's a free demo for 3dmark

#

idk if it includes timespy tho

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:46 AM

#

It’s definitely not getting as hot now

#

It’s stopping at like 65 so far and slowly going up

#

Very slowly

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

nice

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

#

1440 btw

#

it barely got louder but it is way cooler

#

thats good

#

only 1 extra fps tho

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:50 AM

#

yeah that does look quite a bit better temp wise, hotspot went from 102 to 95

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

thats good

#

now to figure out what my cpu is up to

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

chilly hemlock just give them the rundown and post the cinebench/hwinfo pics and others should ...

yeah hit up #overclocking and they should be able to help

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

do you think its the armoury crate stuff stopping the fans from spinning up

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

the asus utility thing?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

yes

#

its awful

#

it has presets its not dynamic so it stays at 1200rpm cpu cooler all the time

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

might be conflicting with afterburner if ur also setting a gpu fan curve there, idk if it does that tho since I usually try to avoid those utility bloatware things

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

it doesnt

#

it just does cpu stuff and its unchangeable

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

for ur pump header did u plug it into the cpu fan header or a pump header on the mobo?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

i think cpu fan but i dont know for sure

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

u can just set the cpu/pump crv from bios iirc

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

yea

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

honestly just set the curves there in bios and uninstall the asus crate thing if that's the only function ur using it for

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

i want one app to justr do everything, all the curves, all the driver updates, with no extra garbage or gamer skins

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

chilly hemlock honestly just set the curves there in bios and uninstall the asus crate thing if...

it does some updates i think but overall its pretty useless

#

mostly rgb stuff i dont use and game launcher stuff

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

yeah I tend to avoid all the rgb barf and "gamer utilites" and set things in bios and afterburner/xtu as needed

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

i use icue with the plugin just to sync all of it but thats it

#

the rgb anyway

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

hwinfo/cpu&gpuz/afterburner and xtu are the only things I keep

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

i keep the nvidia stuff only cuz i need to adjust my settings sometimes

#

and then ofc i am forced to use all the razer garbage

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

oof

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

i wanna replace the mousepad with an ltt one at some point but i cant find any mice that are similar enough

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

mice? should work with any iirc

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

i mean like similar to my razer one

#

in terms of size and buttons and such

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

oh are u using the razer wireless power thing?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

no

#

the mouse is some naga trinity or something, i like the size but it was expensive and its just ok but i want to rid myself of synapse at some point

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

I mean u can use the ltt deskpad with ur current mouse

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

yes

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

ohhh u want to replace the razer thing

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

yea

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

makes sense lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

yea lol

#

its nice i just hate the software

#

my hand literally covers up the rgb why do i need software

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

does it have onboard memory?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

yea but it refuses to work without the software

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

usually u can just set the settings u want and save it to onboard and uninstall the software

#

giant oof

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

if i didnt need synapse i would be ok with it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

with the logitech ones u can just store it onboard and delete the logitech thing

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

oh i hate logitech software it doenst work, i use it for a racing wheel it never works

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

I use the g915tlk for keyboard and g502 wireless for mouse and I just have it stored onboard and deleted the logitech thing and things works out

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

ill try to see if i can get razer to do that as well

#

i think its because the pad and mouse are synced or whatever

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:03 AM

#

that's annoying

#

rip

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:03 AM

#

yea

#

the steelseries software is better, its not intrusive either i used it once

#

very nice keyboard and software

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:04 AM

#

ye have steelseries keyboard on my laptop and it works well enough, still uninstalled it tho xd

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:04 AM

#

lol

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:05 AM

#

just hate anything that's like not critical for my pc to run

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:05 AM

#

assuming it doesnt prevent me from using my computer, i will get rid of the asus stuff

#

i think it just auto installed as soon as i turned it on for the first time

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

is it a prebuilt?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

no

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

some of them image their os installs with a bunch of bloatware

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

yea

#

i think armoury crate just does drivers which you can install from their site, but also include armoury crate by default

#

thats great

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

got windows down to just 45 background tasks

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

nice

#

as soon as i can get fortnite and stuff to run on linux, i am done with windows

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

think I got to 32 on my desktop, there's a bunch of stuff that the laptop runs in the background for systems/fans/etc

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:08 AM

#

yea

#

yay

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

HYPERS

#

yeah I have to use windows for work and uni and if I didn't have to I would have hopped over to the linux train by now

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:10 AM

#

yea, its just a few games/programs i use regularly stopping me

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

idk if apex runs on linux yet but if it does I'd be down to move lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

oh boy i found more asus software that will not let me remove it

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

chilly hemlock idk if apex runs on linux yet but if it does I'd be down to move lol

i think it did, idk if it still does or not

#

protonDB says apex is gold

#

it shoudl work

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

eyesintensifies

#

oop

#

brb gonna try it out

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

ok

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

dang we've been at it for 3hrs

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

chilly hemlock got windows down to just 45 background tasks

where do you see this list? i checked task manager but i dont see it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

mine looks completely different

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

huh what's ur's like rn?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:19 AM

#

its just a giant list of every process, no counter, light mode. theres no apps section and then background section

#

oh no

#

i got it

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

like from here right?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

yea

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

yeah

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

ah, im on 10

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

oh that makes sense

#

there's still dark theme on 10 tho, just search theme in settings

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

i changed my theme with regit cuz i didnt activate my windows

#

its probably broken

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

oh oof understandable

#

that 105 tho

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

yea i am not paying above $100 for windows thats just absurd. i will probasbly switch to linux soon anyway

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

got like 3 free licenses out of my uni lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

and im not updating to 11 until they fix whatever is going on over there

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

chilly hemlock got like 3 free licenses out of my uni lol

nice

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

~~paid with it through tuition but I'd like to pretend it's free~~

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

lol

#

how did you get down to 45 bg processes? there is so many i dont know what to do

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

what's ur list like rn?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

105

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

oh I mean like the actual processes

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

wdym? like all the stuff thats open?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

yeah like this stuff

#

mostly windows stuff or is there a lot of other things running

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

mostly windows but a lot of other stuff too

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

I'd start with the startup tab and turning off everything

#

i have most of my startup stuff off except foir like edge and discord

#

and steam,

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

imo u can have all of them off unless u use them every time ur pc is on, just more background stuff off in general

#

personally only have a script on for my vpn and that's it

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

i keep edge and steam on for sure since thats most of what i use

#

what the heck is this

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

huh not sure

#

i'd just disable

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

realtek audio is rpobably something to keep on right?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:31 AM

#

I have it off, do u use any of the audio filters/enhancers?

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:31 AM

#

i dont use it at all

#

i just assumed it was to make audio work at all

#

like a driver

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

yeah I just uninstall all the utilites, drivers are usually in services not in the processes list

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

so what does it do then? if its not a driver

#

theres nothing to even open what does this thing do

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

for general utilities, I'd sugguest

golden smelt theres nothing to even open what does this thing do

honestly nothing

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

im genuinely confused on the realtek thing, theres no program attached for me to open at all, i dont use it, does it do anything

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

nope, had it off since 2018 lol

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

so audio works wothout it?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:37 AM

#

for all the systems I've used I've just uninstalled all the utilities and restarted windows and let it download all the required drivers and left it as is

#

usually windows is decent at finding basic drivers to make things work

#

and the there's no need for the rest of the bloatware

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

why is there like 70 instances of "svchost.exe"

#

idek what that is

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

oh that's windows stuff

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

chilly hemlock for general utilities, I'd sugguest > - sysinternals > - hwinfo/cpuz&gpuz/after...

grab the system informer thing from ^ and u can see a lot more of what's going on

#

the windows version of it is process explorer in the sysinternals

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:41 AM

#

Alright yea, where do I go to just delete everything and let it install all the necessary stuff

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:44 AM

#

https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/nightly.php nightly build is here for systeminformer, is not developed by windows so ur gonna get a bunch of warnings from windef about viruses/etc but it's a false positive, alternatively u can grab process explorer from here, via msft https://live.sysinternals.com/procexp64.exe and it has similar functions but there's not as much controls as systeminformer

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:44 AM

#

hmm ok

#

i might try that windows 11 thing that lewts you remove all the garbage stuff from the iso

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:45 AM

#

yeah that works too, idk if it works on 10 tho

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:46 AM

#

what is that thing called, i might look into it i just cant remmeber the name

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:46 AM

#

and yeah the deboat thing is much more user friendly instead of a bunch of cmdline entries

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:46 AM

#

yea

#

i just want somewthing for pc that is as simple and just works as macos, but also lets me use the stuff i need

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:47 AM

#

chilly hemlock https://github.com/builtbybel/ThisIsWin11 was about to suggest this but forgot u...

it's this one

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:47 AM

#

ok ty

#

i wonder, is there a way to do that and keep all my files/programs or do i need to clean install it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:48 AM

#

oh for win11 u can just run it as an app and it cleans out windows for u

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:48 AM

#

oh really? so i can just upgrade and then use it?

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:49 AM

#

like it's surprisingly easy and efficient

#

yeah

#

I'd suggest a clean install tho if ur going win11 from 10

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:49 AM

#

hmm i wonder if this would work better since 11 has a bunch of missing stuff that i like https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

golden smelt does thisiswin11 have a revert tool?

yeah u can select to have a restore point created before the changes

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:55 AM

#

if windows didnt use so much performance for random junk it wouldnt be a problem but they wont fix it

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:55 AM

#

and yeah if u use a lot of the windows services a lot of these tools will brick them since those will almost always be online/require connection back to a live service

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 5:55 AM

#

ok

#

i use a few just for like gamepass and such but other than that i want them gone

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 5:56 AM

#

for me I don't use any on my work pc so I went with basically everything in the win11 thing, for my laptop I just did the settings stuff and it worked out

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 6:00 AM

this may be the solution to my rbg software problems

#

https://openrgb.org/

OpenRGB

Open source RGB lighting control that doesn't depend on manufacturer software

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 6:01 AM

#

yeah openrgb works for most things, personally haven't used it yet but I've heard mixed feedback about it. So far it's mostly "it's better than oem software but it's still rgb software so the bar is literally underground"

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 6:01 AM

#

well one rgb software is better than 19

#

after removing the armoury crate the only thing wrong is that the one, low quality light on my motherboard doesnt lioght up but thats not really a problem

#

ok ima try fortnite and see if performance had improved

#

ok i changed to dx11 and lowered a few settings, now im at a low of 120 high of 144 which is good since my refresh rate is 144

#

it seems to stutter occasionally

#

oh yea it dips to 40-50 every so often and its on fairly low settings

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 6:23 AM

#

i cant tell if its any usb port or the specific one

#

Ok it’s going 🤞

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 6:38 AM

#

#

just found it lol

#

idk if this is ur exact one but looks like there's one labeled for bios

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 6:39 AM

#

Yea

#

I had to use that when I built it since the bios didn’t support my cpu by default

#

Ok it worked! My custom boot logo is gone tho but that’s not a giant issue lol

#

i got worried cuz it bootlooped like 5 times and then posted to windows

#

but we clear

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

yeah it takes quite a few restarts sometimes, for bios updates I just let it run for like till it finishes or 6hrs (whichever comes first) and only after that I'll try other troubleshooting steps

#

bricked enough mobos by trying to force a restart too soon lmao

golden smelt Mar 12, 2023, 6:47 AM

#

oof

#

oh wow

#

oh btw it looks like my aio is plugged into the aio header

#

or at least something is

chilly hemlock Mar 12, 2023, 6:59 AM

#

dang lmao

#

do you have any specific tips for reapplying the thermal paste?

jade garnet Mar 25, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

golden smelt do you have any specific tips for reapplying the thermal paste?

If it’s a founders edition ? Be really careful with the ribbon cables

#

And careful with the led cable as it’s almost impossible to remove

#

If you are going to reapply thermal paste might as well replace the padding

#

Take your time as you can only break it once

golden smelt Mar 25, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

oh i meant the cpu lol but ty

jade garnet Mar 25, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

oh for cpu? easy, grab a bowl to capture the screws in.

#

its easy to put it in a bowl since you won't lose the screws.

golden smelt Mar 26, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

ok, what about just general pattern or tips for the application in general

jade garnet Mar 26, 2023, 9:23 AM
