Why

#

is everyone

#

Buying ryzen 7

#

over 9?

#

9

fleet canopy
#

Uhh

#

Affordable, good price, good cores/threads

#

And R9 expensive

knotty haven
#

THEN WHY YOU MAKE ME GET 9

#

: (

fleet canopy
#

Because it's good to balance GPU power, also you said it shortened render time?

knotty haven
#

yes but like

#

Depends on how much

#

if it shortens it by like a minute

#

ir ather save 200 bucks lul

#

i rahter*

fleet canopy
#

I mean, what CPU

knotty haven
#

wut

#

?

#

r7 or r9 wym

fleet canopy
#

What cpu u buy

#

Also it's blender, doesn't blender have option to use both CPU and GPU render?

knotty haven
#

what ever saves me

#

Yes

#

But gpu better

fleet canopy
#

What exact CPU did you get

#

3900X?

knotty haven
#

i havent paid for it yet

fleet canopy
#

3950X?

knotty haven
#

no

fleet canopy
#

Oh ok

knotty haven
#

also no

#

not paying 700 for cpu

#

500 most ill go

fleet canopy
#

So what'd you get

#

oh

knotty haven
#

pc case GPU

fleet canopy
#

You bought 2950X?

knotty haven

and storage

#

n o

fleet canopy
#

WHAT YOU GET?

knotty haven
#

havent got any CPUs yet

fleet canopy
#

Oh

#

ok

knotty haven
#

No cp u

fleet canopy
#

THEN WHY YOU MAKE ME GET 9

#

Hm

knotty haven
#

why you telkl me to

#

same shit

jade ermine
#

local shop here had batch of 3900X's for 350 euros

#

they sell like hotcakes

knotty haven
#

thats 400us

#

lol

#

same price

#

er 4 something us

#

i think

#

still, but if i can save 200 on it over like a min of render time saved

#

then i will

knotty haven

best for blender

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Don't take the numbers on userbenchmark so seriously, its not a reliable benchmark to reference when it comes to real world performance.

Yeah, and 3900X beats 2950X unless you absolutely need all the cores

Also isn't 3950X a thing :)

#

Better buy imo

#

Stick drift in modern day controllers is usually the result of cheap parts used in the joystick modules. Microsoft (finally) took the initiative (after like 8 years) to come up with a controller that uses more durable joystick modules.

#

What usually happens is that some little side panel comes off, cracks, wobbles, or moves out of place to the point where the stick either makes too much or too little contact with the sensors in the module.

#

These sensors control vertical and horizontal movement, and they can get damaged pretty easily, but they can fortunately be replaced.

#

However, if the housing on the module itself is falling apart, then you'll probably need to solder in a whole new module and glue down any parts of the housing that might come apart.

#

And, in this case, that grey panel piece moves out of place from time to time, causing some small discrepancies in regards to directional input. Basically, if you move your joystick in a particular direction, it might not register that input quite correctly.

median moon
#

tl;dr: xbox and ps4 do what nintendon't

eternal cairn
#

All three companies actually do sort of the same thing though, at least with their standard controllers.

#

Similar parts, similar OEM manufacturers.

#

It's probably cheaper and easier for them to manufacture controllers through garbage parts this way. Plus, if you break a controller and have to buy a new one, it's not like Microsoft or Sony will have any complaints.

brisk badger
#

good reddit post

#

is it possible to buy just the sensors and not the module? third party i assume

eternal cairn
#

Thanks. I made sure not to leave very many details out.

#

Also, yes, I believe you can.

brisk badger
#

i wonder of their production quality. probably not everyone has a spare controller laying around to disassemble spare parts

eternal cairn
#

You can just take the sensor wheels out of the housing.^

#

I don't think production quality matters much for the sensors since they can only be built a specific way. (Just plastic with copper rings.)

brisk badger
#

yep. interesting regardless that those companies all use the same or similar parts

eternal cairn
#

True. However, I have noticed that some people who have replaced their joystick modules (soldered new ones in) with non-OEM ones have said that their sensitivity or dead zones feel different. Also, some modules may have some legs on the bottom which may need to be melted off so the module can sit flush on top of the controller's PCB.

#

Other than that, replacing just the sensor wheels shouldn't affect this as much.

fleet canopy
#

Those videos on using rubbing alcohol are bullshit

#

On the plus side, vibration is actually better as it doesn't feel like there's an earthquake inside my controller

sick reef
#

Couldn't you 3D print the part and replace it, or does it not disassemble?

fleet canopy
#

Not everyone owns a 3D printer I guess TohruShrug

late sorrel
#

yeah that's an issue with the steam controller

#

one of the parts breaks after a set amount of time

#

and you have to 3d print it

sick reef
#

Don't need to own one. Friend of a friend is often good enough.

#

Or if you can commision it.

#

But that doesn't mean that the part is serviceable

jade ermine
#

I think im modding my board

#

this chipset fan is ass gonna make it passive with heatsink

#

going to be dank

#

Performing this operation when i take my pc apart next time, I would have to drain my loop to install it so i will do everything at once then

brisk badger
#

do the location of the screws fit of the ones of your mainboard? the link above shows some good old northbridge heatsink. i don't know if southbridge has the same layout

jade ermine
#

Should fit

jade ermine
#

there are 3 different options for it and this is the worst case scenario.

fleet canopy
#

The walls look

jade ermine
#

You can also see frame rate difference on top left corner

fleet canopy
#

More detailed on 1080p

#

The girl looks a little blurred in 2160p, but more sharper and some details added to 1080p

#

The little cracks on the stone thing holding plants are showing more details in 1080p the leaves don't look so fake in 1080p compared to 4K

jade ermine
#

ye its very sharp

fleet canopy
#

And supposedly it's supposed to be easier to run too

jade ermine
#

from 9 to 48 fps so yeah way easier

#

2070 was used

fleet canopy
#

What about 1440p DLS2.0 compared with 1080p DLS2.0?

#

I wonder if resolution doesn't make a difference when comparing the two

jade ermine
#

There is 1080p, 1252p and 1440p dlss presets in that game for 4k

#

i dont see big difference between them

fleet canopy
#

Eh, that's pretty neat I guess

Was played on 4K TV?

jade ermine
#

Not sure. Does not make a difference on performance tho

fleet canopy
#

Well that's fair

jagged robin
#

Hey, just wondering what the recommended settings would be for getting 144 fps on GTFO?

fleet canopy
#

Depends on your specs

#

And resolution

jagged robin
#

well, I got a gtx 1050ti, AMD ryzen 5 and 16GB of ram

fleet canopy
#

And the resolution?

median moon
#

optimal 144hz 1080 would be like

#

a 1060 super or 1070, ryzen 5 2600, 16gb

#

1440 would be more like 1660ti/2060, ryzen 5 3600X, 16gb

fleet canopy
#

1660 Super

#

What Ryzen 5 CPU @jagged robin

#

1600? 2600?

jagged robin
#

1600

fleet canopy
#

More likely it's not the AF version

#

You might need to look into some upgrades, unless it's a laptop then we could try to recommend a laptop

#

I dunno if you could reach 144FPS though

median moon
#

bro just get a 3990x and two titan rtxes

#

then you can run anything

fleet canopy
#

lol no

#

That's wrong

#

Because it won't run Crysis

abstract kite
#

A 1600AF is basically a 2600 in disguise

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

But because those specs are sort of eh and meh, it's gotta be the 14nm one

abstract kite
#

True

merry bay
#

My local shops say they can't guarantee an AF model, as they still have stock of old 1600's. Getting one is a gamble.

jade ermine
#

you can see the chip from the box so if you pick it up yourself you can see is it AF or not

vapid crypt
#

If they're old 1600s, then none of them would likely be the AF model since they only started making them in the past 4 months or so?

merry bay
#

Comments on the order page had plenty saying they got the AF model. Then a representative mentioned there's no guarantee's for which model it will be.

after i get my new build

i got 1.6TB. probably going to expand this year monkaSTrash

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

Was 2TB too expensive, or did you just not need that much at the time?

#

Oh you mean across all storage you have?

neat scaffold
#

I got 2x1tb drives and it was 1.8gb after formatting so i need a little bit more too

abstract kite
#

I think getting x2 1 tb is smarter than getting a regular 2 tb drive.

#

If 1 TB HDD corrupts you still have the other.

#

If the 2 TB Corrupts than you're screwed. Kek

fleet canopy
#

I think it just shows it as 1.8TB when it really is 2TB

neat scaffold
#

I mean. i Raid0'd mine so if one drives i'm screwed lol

finite violet
#

That difference in storage is because your operating system and the actual drive seller are using different measurement
The drive is actually 2TB which equals to about 1.8TiB ๐Ÿ‘€

#

You'll have this for pretty much any drive you get

#

Will always be around 10% difference

fleet canopy
#

Or really, 930GB for every 1TB

#

Itโ€™s not exactly showing 930GB, I remember getting a 931GB before but eh

#

So with each TB, thereโ€™s 930GB multiplied by the amount of TB you paid for

finite violet
#

Not exactly

fleet canopy
#

I didnโ€™t say it was gonna be exact

#

But thatโ€™s what you get for 930GB multiplied 4, since being exact really doesnโ€™t matter

vapid crypt
#

drive manufacturers basically calculate like this for the purposes of marketing 1000mb = 1gb therefore 1000gb = 1tb while OSes use the proper measurement which is 1024gb = 1tb right?

fleet canopy
#

I guess? But it's 930GB, and if it were correct like that, it'd be giving us 976GB

vapid crypt
#

My 1tb drive shows as 953gb

fleet canopy
#

Hm

#

Oh yeah you do use a 1.024

#

Or not?

#

Cause then I'm not sure how it displays 953GB

remote horizon
#

The drives display less than the "advertised" capacity because the space is used when you format the drive

vapid crypt
brisk badger
#

the reason why you may see different spaces for the exact drive volume has to do how the disk was formatted and what blocksize was used (speaking of NTFS, it is often 4096 bytes per block, if this is changed, then the disk size is changed as well. don't change the blocksize unless you know what you are doing, let the OS else decide)

#

And wesley is right. technically it's wrong to use expression like MB, GB, TB and MiB,GiB and TiB are correct but for the ease of communication it's better to talk in MB, GB, TB but it causes confusion

remote horizon
#

I think he is asking why when you have a brand new drive that is recently formatting, why you dont get the full capacity that is listed

brisk badger
#

okay, but the missing space is not "used" as you said before. like there is no hidden data written to the missing space

#

if you say, "missing", then I can agree ๐Ÿ˜‹

remote horizon
#

Okay, missing, sorry english not first language

#

Is there a difference when you use different file systems?

brisk badger
#

nope I don't think so. I mentioned that the "allocation unit size" can change the disk size but after reading up again I was wrong and it's a bit different

remote horizon
#

I think you're right with the gibibyte and gigabyte conversions

finite violet
#

I don't think the block size will change anything to that.
Just that having a high block size, means on average you'll have more "unused" space (that'll show up as used) because files will always fully use each block they need.

#

While at the same time, a higher block size means you'll have less blocks which results in more efficiency because there's less blocks to sort trough/manage.

#

But yes, typically you'd just use what your os decides, it'll do.

jade ermine
#

Oh you mean across all storage you have?
@fleet canopy Yea thats all my storage combined lol. Late answer but been busy!

neat scaffold
#

I didnโ€™t have this storage difference with my older drives but I did get the 512gb versions instead of the 500gb. I wonder if some brands do 1024gb for there 1tb drives

With my SSD that seems to be the case, its an intel 660p

merry bay
#

would it be way way cheaper to just go 3600 CL16?

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

Like hugely cheaper

#

Because lower CAS makes it expensive as hell unless the speed is like 2400MHz or something

merry bay
#

Looks like a needlessly premium model just for the heck of it ^^

jade ermine
#

Cheapest 3200c14 kit when i bought that one was around 230 euros
Prices are nice now thankfully

fleet canopy
#

I guess, but I felt like why not?

#

RAM prices might increase eventually

#

I heard something about it

#

Or that was SSD

jade ermine
#

likely yea

fleet canopy
#

At least I've let myself go from an SSD to HDD lol

jade ermine
fleet canopy
#

It was 2TB, 220$

#

Fucking wild

jade ermine
#

HDD???

#

hol up

fleet canopy
#

SSD

#

Reason why I went from SSD to HDD in first place

jade ermine
#

yea that makes more sense lol

#

I can get by with around 2TB storage so i have no reason to buy HDD's

fleet canopy
#

Decided, not a good idea so I went with a 1TB M.2 NVME, because OS and some games like Siege requires fast load

#

2TB HDD for games lol

#

And random shit

jade ermine
#

oh yeah

#

good budget solution for me would be external hdd for movies and stuff like that

#

but external storage is kinda dumb when you have atx case right?

fleet canopy
#

External is not really what I want or need

jade ermine
#

:D

fleet canopy
#

I don't see a reason to own one, unless you needed to bring data along ig lol

#

500GB would be good enough

#

Plus external is more expensive, yeah?

jade ermine
#

i think so yea. hdd is not that badly priced

fleet canopy
#

Not at all, at least

jade ermine
#

im probably taking my pc apart when im upgrading GPU later this year so i could slap in one more m.2 drive while im at it

#

C drive is 250GB right now oof

fleet canopy
#

lol damn

#

500GB or 1TB?

jade ermine
#

1TB most likely

#

lasts bit longer

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

I think I owned a 250GB

#

Or was some fucking trash 150GB lol

jade ermine
#

aw

#

my 250GB boi is 960 pro from samsung so its good and all but 250GB

fleet canopy
#

Purely OS, but holy shit it increased because no matter what I did, something was added to the damn C:

#

Not purely OS

#

But like

#

A few stuff, but it was horrible

jade ermine
#

some software etc + OS

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

Kind of bullshit, hated 250GB

#

Who could even live with that

jade ermine
#

Yea its not enough. OS + 2-3 games basically

merry bay
#

I swear by multiple SSD's. Latencies get wonky sometimes from too many programs and whatnot accessing at once.

fleet canopy
#

Never had games on C:

#

By multiple SSDs

#

It'd be lovely

#

If it weren't so damn expensive

jade ermine
#

I got 1x M.2 and 2xSata ssd's

fleet canopy
#

At least it's supposed to last for a long damn time

jade ermine
#

threw my HDD out 2016

fleet canopy
#

But seeing how I barely touch my PC except for power, HDD is good

jade ermine
#

I ran out of room so they had to go

fleet canopy
#

lol I have so many expensive shit on my to-buy list for PC

jade ermine
#

There is always something to improve...shit2

fleet canopy
#

I'm thinking of going with 4700X/4800X, so like 300-350$, I might get 670X if it comes out, cause then I don't gotta replace it for some time, so tat's probably 200-300$, RAM is 250$, unless I settle down for a 3600MHz CAS16 because I might just be like "Fuck it"

jade ermine
#

I have been saving up for new GPU since December. Now nvidia cancelled their GTC "announcement" and ampere cards are delayed for god knows how long due corona.
1k of hobby money ready right now just gathering dust spurdo

#

@fleet canopy Nice plan. Idk you could probably go with X570 too because im pretty sure it supports upcoming zen chips. Also after 4xxx series next ones probably require new mobo anyways

fleet canopy
#

Like 2K USD left idk haha

jade ermine
fleet canopy
#

I also plan to upgrade GPU again

#

But I'll wait for a 3080 Ti or 3000 Super

jade ermine
#

how much flareX kit costs there? that 3200mhz cl14 one

fleet canopy
#

Unless AMD pulls out a great card outta ass

#

Exactly the one I'm getting lmao

#

250$

jade ermine
#

Big doubt on that amd card lol

#

oh 32GB kit

fleet canopy
#

In total, that's about 2600-2800$ I'll have spent including 2070 Super and DRP4

#

AMD might do well though

#

You never know

jade ermine
#

Yea thats pretty much the best kit to go with

#

it OC's well if you are into tinkering

fleet canopy
#

I want to be really positive about the motherboard though

#

I don't want one that'll not do CAS14 3200MHz

#

I'm totally fine if it does 3600Mhz CAS16, but that missed OC potential will just be ZTcry

#

The recent AMD roadmap on CPU, seems they'll probably do a boost on gaming for CPU, might even destroy the 9900K in gaming performance, even!

#

I hope

jade ermine
#

Motherboards don't really care too much about ram speed. Very similar across all the models. Some have small advantage when there is only 2 dimm slots but those are mostly ITX boards

#

or DTX

fleet canopy
#

If I had a debit card right now, I could play around with stock market and win me something good

#

Don't motherboard have a limited power thingy, which disallows wild OC sometimes?

#

Cause I've heard of it in online threads

jade ermine
#

Im limited to 3600mhz speed anyways because my 3900X shits on itself when i raise FCLK above 1800mhz

#

What that limited power thingy might be

#

?

fleet canopy
#

Lemme try

#

Finding

#

It supports this for RAM speed too

DDR4-2133
DDR4-2400
DDR4-2666
DDR4-2800
DDR4-3000
DDR4-3200
DDR4-3300
DDR4-3400
DDR4-3466
DDR4-3600
DDR4-3866
DDR4-4000
DDR4-4133
DDR4-4266
DDR4-4400
#

But not too sure on CAS though

#

Because CAS is a huge thing for speed sometime

jade ermine
#

Oh those dont really mean anything on AM4

fleet canopy
#

Hm?

#

So it's literally nothing?

jade ermine
#

because when you unpair your FCLK to run 1:2 mode you can go as high as you want

#

without performance gains

fleet canopy
#

The power limit of the mobo that'll give power to parts

jade ermine
#

and compare it to 3600mhz

#

are you after VRM?

fleet canopy
#

VRM being VRAM?

#

Or?

jade ermine
#

noo you were talking about power delivery so i was thinking VRM

#

lol

fleet canopy
#

Oh yeah

#

I mean it might be that

jade ermine
#

yea every X570 board not including MSI cheap models are overkill

fleet canopy
#

I just heard that some motherboards might limit how much you OC because it'd be ovk for it

#

Oh?

#

So it's just B450 then?

#

Also I'll probably just OC the RAM, CPU and GPU altogether lol

jade ermine
#

Shitty B450 boards might get hot with 3900X and 3950X. They require fan but can handle them

fleet canopy
#

So I might need a hefty PSU unless that's not the case

#

I thought B450 doesn't support 3900X and above?

jade ermine
#

Just get good quality 650W and you are good to go

fleet canopy
#

Or at least too unstable

#

As you might've seen, 850W gold

jade ermine
#

Like if you slap 3900X on B450 tomahawk for example it will work just fine. Overclocking is not recommended and VRM heatsink might need some airflow

#

but it will be fine

#

also overclocking is not needed at all so theres that. You are better off just tuning in ram speed and you are set

fleet canopy
#

Current PSU, 650W gold cert 80+

jade ermine
#

wattage wise thats good

fleet canopy
#

I mean, I kind of wanted to go 850W, cause I feel sketchy not increasing it

jade ermine
#

lol

fleet canopy
#

And it's like a few years, but eh

jade ermine
#

I did exactly that for no reason so im not the one to talk lool

fleet canopy
#

The shit PSU isn't fully modular though

#

So that fucking sucks for me

jade ermine
#

semi modular is fiiiine

fleet canopy
#

And the whole wiring is horrible!

#

Nah it isn't modular I believe

jade ermine
#

You will be hiding the cables anyway!

fleet canopy
#

It's like permanently on the PSU

#

You can't remove it without purposely ripping it off

jade ermine
#

If you cant add cables at all then its not semi modular

fleet canopy
#

Can't remove, can't add

#

Only cable you can add though

#

Is the power cord

#

lol

jade ermine
#

lol

fleet canopy
#

Semi modular! /s

jade ermine
#

my "old" PSU died only after 1.5 years so i got paranoid and bough this brick

fleet canopy
#

I might change it up a bunch though, probably

#

Ooh, 1200W

jade ermine
#

IT WAS ON SALE OKAY

fleet canopy
#

I heard higher the wattage, longer it lasts

#

Is it gold cert?

#

Or bronze perhaps

jade ermine
#

plat

fleet canopy
#

Oooh

#

Really fucking nice

#

Poor me and decisions though

#

I have 4 keyboards to choose from

#

Main problem of all my goddamn things

jade ermine
#

It set me back 149 euros but hopefully it does not blow up before 2 year mark

#

also fan rarely spins up wich is nice

fleet canopy
#

Nah it shouldn't

#

It should last you a very long time

#

Plus Corsair is epic with PSUs

jade ermine
#

Yea i heard they are great

fleet canopy
#

Oh indeed they are

jade ermine
#

it gets really really hot before fan starts to spin

#

i can play light games like league and cs:go without fan even spinning

fleet canopy
#

The guy behind the PSUs in corsair is a huge geek and is really smart on PSUs

jade ermine
#

but the unit is like 60C

#

:D

fleet canopy
#

I think he's retired from it idk

#

He's a legend for it though haha

jade ermine
#

aw

#

im proud how my first corsair psu held up

#

GOOD OL' TX650 from 2011

fleet canopy
#

Nice

jade ermine

it still works but i sold it for my friend

it was powering i7 990X and hd6990 overclocked for 5 years

Haha

#

I should consider a different mouse

I've used it before, but maybe a new mouse will be good, a lighter, much better one perhaps

Any mouse to recommend?

At least with a few extra buttons too, I use it commonly

The keyboard on other hand, haha

For mouse, if later on, I picked model o

mouse is just a mouse. it needs two thumb buttons and feet that last long

and okay sensor

boom good mouse

Yep

glad crater

I bought a Raydem keyboard just before they went out of business, all support for it is gone

I assume too much money into the keyboard production, couldn't make good profit off them cause not well known

glad crater

They just made the one keyboard

I made smart choice with keyboard, Got GMMK modular one so if i ever want to try new switches i dont have to buy another keyboardOMEGAROLL

There's red RGB on glorious keyboard, but not much color to choose, nor even rainbow I guess

#

Haha

brisk badger
#

the keyboard looks nice but must be awful to clean

jade ermine
#

also my tab is pretty blasting

fleet canopy
#

I feel like the ten keys would probably benefit me later on

#

For gaming, I might rebind to one of them

#

Or use as macros

glad crater
#

I use them for macros

jade ermine
#

@brisk badger It cleans just like any other mechanical keeb what you on about

glad crater
#

Sweep it like a floor

fleet canopy
#

It actually looks much easier to clean

#

Than it would be on mine

brisk badger
#

it looks like dust can easily enter the keyboard

fleet canopy
#

That would never matter, Wooza

#

For there is a lot of dust in my keyboard :)

#

You clean it either way

jade ermine
#

Dust is harder to see from white keycapsrollsafe

fleet canopy
#

But my keyboard is a hell lot harder to clean because of the whole way it's made

#

G710

brisk badger
#

I meant hapchers keyboard sry ๐Ÿ˜›

glad crater
#

I wouldn't be worried about what's on the inside, at one point a spider was inside my keyboard

brisk badger
#

or the one he posted

fleet canopy
#

Oh

jade ermine
#

ooh

fleet canopy
#

That looks ezpz clean too

#

But take in for like my G710

#

If you look at it, you'd notice that the keys are below the flat part which sucks

brisk badger
#

(still using a logitech g19 lol)

jade ermine
#

I honestly clean mine like every 8-9 months properly

#

dont care about few hairs or dust under caps lol

fleet canopy
#

I like the keyboard that unlucky or Hapcher has posted, because the way it looks seems really easy to clean it no problem

jade ermine
#

it takes some time to remove all the keycaps, bath them in soap water, Dry them and slap them back on

brisk badger
#

how do you clean that keyboard easily?

jade ermine
#

dishwasher

glad crater
#

Lmao the one time I cleaned mine I put it in the dishwasher and let it dry for a day

brisk badger
#

on my keyboard I remove some screws and I can take all key caps apart easily. the one above looks like you have to take em out one by one

jade ermine
#

Yea one by one

#

pick them out with that included tool

glad crater
#

It's like 10 minutes to take me all off, it's not bad

brisk badger
#

it's more than my 10 sec dissassemble technique ๐Ÿ˜›

jade ermine
#

whole process is around 30 mins

glad crater
#

I mean the same day I cleaned it, I took like 4 hours to repaste my CPU and rearranged my entire desk and all that

#

Just make a day out of it

brisk badger
#

well that's a matter of experience and routine

jade ermine
#

talking about cleaning and shit, i should clean my dust filters and get rid from all the dust on my desk in general lol

glad crater
#

Me too

jade ermine
#

Dark picture does not really show but there is nice gray halo around all fans lol

glad crater
#

Lick it off

jade ermine
#

and top panel is full of dust too

#

snort it off

glad crater
#

Dinner and a show!

#

I like the glass though

#

Mines aluminum so it already looks like it's covered in dust

brisk badger
#

since having animals, I gave up on dust on particular places. but always good to keep the dust filter clean

glad crater
#

Just make all your animals bald

brisk badger
#

potential solution but will interfere with seasons and temperatures

glad crater
#

That's what you call an acceptable casualty

fleet canopy
#

Hm

I myself prefer unfortunate circumstance.

Unforseen consequences is a good one too

vapid crypt
#

Check the fans on the GPU, see if they're running under load

stark plover
#

@abstract kite if you got a window case just look inside when its running a game lol

vapid crypt
#

How do you know its the gpu overheating?

stark plover
#

Set up a gpu overlay in game to view the temps as you play gtfo

#

You can do it with radeon software if you have amd gpu, not sure about nvidia

abstract kite
#

@abstract kite wait weren't you the one before with the Ailenware Case?

#

So three things could be happpening, wires are in the way of your vents, your fans suck and you should think about replacing them or that Alienware case may not be designed to vent heat properly.

#

What Case/GPU is it anyways?

#

@abstract kite Send me a screen of you r device manager please!

Answer the questions though @abstract kite

Okay for the case... Can you send picks of all sides of it?

#

Damn look at bigfoot

#

That pic is really blurry like the big foot pictures

#

Anyways

#

Could you please take a closer picture of where your case fan vents are.

#

And tell us how many you have, not including the GPU or the Heatsink.

#

Ouch....

#

@abstract kite i have the same carpet!

#

sry just wanted to share

#

Also is that a new pc? Looks like an old Alienware model

fleet canopy
#

I mean, you could look for a video, there's a lot of ways to clean it most or completely off

wintry cobalt
#

What seems to be the issue? Hope i can be of help

fleet canopy
#

Best way to do it is with like one of those waterguns which I forget the name, they just shoot water really fast enough, used to clean paint or shit off walls, and then there's like soap that's pretty good for it

ornate ginkgo
#

What seems to be the issue? Hope i can be of help
@wintry cobalt Driver problems. It does not accept the drivers for the integrated intel gpu.

#

and also it does not install the Drivers for USBC and one sound ๐Ÿ”Š device.

#

The lag with teamviewer did not help ^^ But i have an idea. I hope it is not what i think it is ;_;

#

Also:
Drivers are on his pc, but it likes to not accept them x3

#

I have no idea anymore x3

#

Drivers are functianal, i tested that, tried to install older ones, same problem.

"Additionally, XY2 (Y = 4, 5, 6) Krakens are quite a bit more expensive than the competition at the same performance level because of their flashy design. Under the hood, they're the same coolers as the H100i v2 and H115i, barring the fans."
