Specs: Ryzen 5 3600x RX 5700 XT Corsair Pro RGB 4000mhz ram running at 3600 MSI B550 Gaming plus motherboard. Performance lines up with whats expected and even exceeds in synthetic benchmarks with my CPU, BUT for some reason CS2 has been a huge pain. With all background tasks off im getting around 60% of CPU usage in deathmatch and around 120-150 FPS depending on the map (i think fps is slightly better on mirage). Watching other people with similar CPUs (like the 3600) they are getting 200-300 FPS in the game AND only like 30% usage. Before anyone asks no i am not gpu bound as its working at 50% of its full potential most times in game. I don't know what to troubleshoot or if maybe it's even a issue with counter strikes engine itself. Im literally getting worse FPS on this much more powerful CPU than i was getting with an i5 4690K (granted it worked at 4.5ghz). Thanks in advance.

...unless you understand the syntax of a .BAT file, then at the very least read through all the code so you know exactly what will occur before executing them. But agreed, for anyone that doesn't know what these files do, don't execute random code from the internet is good advice.

I'm a a bit confused by this. Does she have a pro or a M1 Air? Why doesn't she have the basic model? If you just want a no nonsense tablet, then the standard is the right way to go. Anyway, stage manager can be disabled. So unless she also messed about in the settings, then this works perfectly fine.

Looks like we dropped a place in marathon. @GOTSpectrum Is Jake's working on marathon yet?

Hello I have a macbook pro 13 2017 that will not power on can some help me i dont think it the battery and it wont power on when the charger plug into it as well

Howdy guys, I'm looking to setup a proxmox server with a windows VM and within windows I'll be setting up a tunnel to allow a minecraft server to be available. My question is, with a max of 20players on this server at once. And I want to future proof without breaking the bank. my hope is to setup something sub $500 that will allow my windows vm with a file share/mc server running + another proxmox vm and good headroom to add more servers if I wish. Although the servers will always be live and running the peak amount of users that will be connected to any mc server will doubtfully exceed 15 players at one time. What is the best path to take in your opinions? Should I stick with modern hardware or go with older xeons? Maybe start with an i5 12thgen and see how long that holds over till lag kicks in? Or switch to an older xeon platform start with a basic six core cpu and upgrade as is necessary?

cheap speakers place and tuned properly will always outperform expensive speakers used incorrectly brother from another mother!!!!! am not the only one on that!

Or they might have gotten bored and quit 2 months later because programming wasn't for them. Which is why they should start off with what they have and don't start buying things before they feel like they need them. 3000 dollars worth of gym equipment will make workouts better, but it's not something someone who is just starting out should buy. You need to actually try things out before going all out and blowing a bunch of money on equipment you may end up never using or needing.

Those are perfect parts to start a NAS build. Mine was a 1600 +8GB RAM + 1050Ti at first. I'd flesh out a Windows machine, get the rest of the parts. THEN if you need more, look into prebuilts. But you have a great base to start.

just use a magnet switch , it's way easier to implement and just as difficult for normies to figure out

Hi all, I wanted to ask about potentially getting a prebuilt NAS, or if I should DIY it with parts I have on hand. Primarily it would be used for Jellyfin, and I could see down the line as photo/cloud storage as I become comfortable with how it works. I had in mind $300, not including the cost of the drive(s). I've been looking at 2 bay Synology NAS, they seem like nice little units that have a spot on my desk. The prices seem to vary quite a bit, so I'm not really sure what I should be looking at for my needs. Like I mentioned, it would be primarily be for streaming from Jellyfin. I dont have any 4k video. All the video I have is what I ripped from dvd's or blurays myself, it currently sits at about 1.25tb. Most movies and shows from the DVD's are 480p, and generally the blu rays I encode at 720p to save on space. The only videos I have kept at 1080p are usually the BBC David Attenborough nature series, and just a few of my wife and I's favorite movies, otherwise most of the blu rays I made into 720p .mkv files, I aim for a size of about 1gb to 1.5gb per movie, then of course there are exceptions for some films that are very long. If any had recommendations for a Synology NAS, that would be appreciated, or even another brand, I'm just in uncharted territory here. The other thing is that I was thinking about doing a DIY NAS. I like the prebuilt units because of the size, and have looked into mini atx cases, but they are still pretty chunky by comparison. Heres the parts I have on hand: Ryzen 1400 CPU with Various CPU Coolers 16gb Ram Rx 580 4gb GPU Maybe when I typed it out, it makes more sense to get a pre built. I dont have a motherboard, psu, drives, or case. I have toyed with the idea of PC for the TV that could also serve this function, but I'd like to not have a full on pc running all the time. Any recommendations are very much appreciated! And please do ask if I left any info out.

you have dark blue text over black.....obviously thats not going to be very easy to read.

You have a 5600 and an Asus TUF Gaming B550. It makes no sense to go to the next generation with the parts you picked. I would focus on other things instead, like maybe more RAM or storage if needed. If you are gaming, you are not going to notice much if any performance increase with the RX 6600 that you have.

What I’m trying to do: Mount a secondary screen above my Steam Decks main screen. It does not need to be touch screen. You with your infinite wisdom has probably already sussed out that I want to emulate 3DS properly. Why it’s not going so well: I really don’t have any preference over how this is accomplished, but the easiest possible way that I can think of is to find a roughly 7 inch screen that plugs into USB-C and mount it on my Dbrand case. The issue is I want to be able to plug it into power for charging still so I either need a screen that has a hubs IO on it already, or I need to find a good USB-C hub, and a decent USB display, and make some sort of housing for it all to go into. This is me begging I know someone here knows exactly what I need, and there might even be a product designed specifically for my use case, but I am not having any luck googling. Please help me achieve my goal have having the ultimate 3DS emulation experience.

Probably goes without saying but don't download random scripts from the internet.

that board has had 22 bios updates since release , have any of them been applied?

250W for a 550W 10 supposed-10-year-psu could be death reconing tbh. I don't want to be a bad preacher, but my guess is both are dead or in near-death condition. Anyways, if the author is willing to get a new GPU he/she has to go for a new PSU too. Just in case.

A list of things you look for in a new phone would be very helpful, there are literally hundreds of phones out there. A budget would be nice too so we know where to start looking.

Don't the D30s use a JST connector instead of the standard one?
