    You are correct sorry for miss quoting you.

    Try moving the computer to the other side of the desk so that the fans aren't blowing against the side of the desk, also with the computer off, using the old mechanic's trick and apply a little force against the GPU by lightly giving it a smack as its possible when you cleaned it you inadvertently knocked something out of alignment.

    Hello all, I have three APC Back-UPS xs 1500 (BX1500) that all have the same problem where they dont accept wallpower, i have found that a couple SMD capacitors are dead however i cant find replacements, the two i need are the 22 22uF 16s 16volts H13 ?????????????? and 10 10uF 35s 35volts HD3 ?????????????????????????/ when i go to Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors - SMD – Mouser there are so many i dont know how to choose, ik technically i only need to care about the volts and capacitance but id like to get one that is the right size too ofc mine are about 5cm in diameter (cylinder part) can anyone help me? i think h13 and hd3 mean something but i dont know what

    I didn't say to stop using it. I said don't talk about it on wan show. As for the usage, like with anything, do it in moderation, do it well and do it when it make sense. A three shot in less than ten seconds violates two of those.

    That's a really superficial take. If all your work with is webdev building basic lading pages, then sure, but why did you get into university to begin with? Anyhow, OP already mentioned that they want to make it for fun and to learn, that's more than enough reason.

    The 14700k has slightly higher boost clock from factory so it IS faster but not by much.

    If there's nothing on the drive you want to keep, just install Windows 11 on it. Safe Boot, was a now-failed attempt to stop Windows users from installing Linux in a dual boot situation, and no longer provides any use whatsoever. Even when I was running Win 10 alone, I never had any problems when I turned Safe Boot off.

    lmao I did that, I'm very picky about noise so I can't really unhear it:(

    Move your computer under your desk so that the noise is no longer being blasted into your ear.

    If they're both $400 is there any reason to do the non-K over the K or vise versa if I don't plan on overclocking anyways?

    I am going into college for a degree in engineering and I am looking for a laptop to handle CAD work and some light gaming. I am hoping for some recommendations for something I can buy that will handle that. My current top choice is a Dell XPS 17" from 2022. My main requirements are at least 2 TB of storage, a dedicated GPU, 16"+ display, and I would prefer a business class laptop. I have no preference to brand, just something that will work for a long time and complete CAD and simulation work with ease. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you can offer.

    Been using Mint on my "other server" for a while. I do this, "can you switch to linux today" kind of challenges once in a while and this time I am surprised how good it went.

     

    Topic of interest was gaming this time around. I used to play native linux games (like stardew and rimworld) when I had to use a laptop for N3060 and 4 gigs of ram for close to 2 years. As you can guess, experience was great that time around.

     

    This time around, its even better. I played FH4 and crysis 2, what impressed me the most was crysis 2. Which runs like shit on Windows due to being notoriously CPU bound. I was able to play the game SMOOTHER than my PC in my specs. Mind you, this "other server" has only 16G RAM(3800C18), R5 3600 (static all core 4ghz) and a 1660S. FH4 runs kind of stutters, it almost feels like its due to network gateway this device is connected to having over 200ms of latency so I am going to test that later.

     

    Overall, I am VERY impressed with Proton. All I had to do select Experimental for every game I wanted!

     

    I am genuinely happy to see that I can in fact switch from Windows or Mac into any debian based distro and be fine with it.

     

    Anyways, I did something to the PSU of this thing lol. I think one of the main caps of this PSU is fucked. It takes couple of minutes for it to turn on lol...

    Road trips in cars are extremely common in the U.S., I’ve driven over 800 miles in a day many times. I have been on the TGV a long time ago, I like train travel, but high-speed rail is unrealistic in the U.S. We do have long-distance trains here, but the tickets are expensive and it’s slow, they also have to use the freight line tracks so the travel stops are not always great.

    I've had a problem with black blocks popping up on my screen for almost 1-2 months now. I've tried to read up a bit, but nothing works. About. 0.5 months ago, Windows also crashed on the PC, but I got it repaired. Then bought a new M.2 and a graphics card to see if that would fix the problem with the screen. No significant difference. Tried then re-downloading all drivers and BIOSes, but nothing. The parts I use are: Asus ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD Ryzen 5 5600G ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X (formerly GeForce RTX 3060 VENTUS 3X 12G OC) G.Skill Aegis DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB and Adata XPG Gammix D20 Black DDR4 3200MHz 2x8GB WD BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD M.2 1TB (formerly PNY CS2130 M.2 NVMe 500GB) Corsair CV650 650W Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 Philips Momentum 24M1N3200VA 24" Full HD

    I think we're going to need to do 4 Jav throws since we have no idea what we can do and only doing 3 is quite a big risk for us since the lowest throw is taken as our score for the event. The 4th and last can be skipped if the first 3 are good enough, or our first is not our worst.

    Like I said unless you MOST have 144FPS+ it is fine.

    Honestly, this is what I always do with stuffs downloaded from the internet and outside the package manager. Just create a bin dir in your home and add it to your path. Create a .desktop inside your applications dir if it has a gui.

    - Take the original backplate, trace it on paper along with the screw holes and all. - Scan the paper, make a vector file out of it using something like Adobe Illustrator (cutting down the length to what suits your want of course), then order a custom laser cut acrylic / sheet metal using the vector. - Metal / acrylic arrives, grab spray paint, get to spraying. That's what I'd do.

    Wiggle the Display Cable/s,.... When he plugs the display cables in, turn the PC on, get to windows..(Driver loaded)., give the cable a wiggle, see if it creates the artifact. If so,... Replace his display cables. I've seen this with a cable that I thought was A-OK but wasn't, stressed about it, but prior to replacing anything, I test cables and what do ya know, a little wiggle instigated the artifacting off and on with certain wiggles. (Could be the port or the cable) but just make the user aware of such things. Lazy personalities would just leave it and re-wiggle every now n then.. but replacing it would be advised.

    This game suffers from heavy shader compilation stutter and every time you install new or old driver the game has to compile the shader cache again. You likely had already everything compiled for the most part before you changed the diver. It will fix itself over time by playing.
