This is why I avoid people.

This. Segmenting them off in this manner isn't going to provide any additional security here since all computers still have access to both LANs just put it on the single segment (network) and be done with it.

Will that work for gaming and more than 20 devices??

Step 1) go outside Step 2) touch grass

That's either a really bad cooler contact or bad paste application/dry out/pump out

nothing is wrong with the laptop, it's just that if the wall outlet isnt grounded, the laptop itself has nothing to reference itself to.

shouldnt it be fixable if you run a small copper wire and connect the heatsink to whatever ground the laptop has?

i'll try this now, and ill post the after result then, thank you

if nothing is earthed, things have a tendency to float, so your laptop's heatsink ends up at some voltage above earth, but there isnt actually any capacity to drive current, so the moment you get a zap that voltage sinks away, and builds up again over time. if your local power outlet standard is reversible (meaning, the plug can go in two ways), try plugging your laptop in the other way around, depending on the charger's internal design that can actually make a notable difference for how much charge builds.

so the laptop works fine? if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

It might have to do with firestorms implementation of dynamic viewer memory allocation not playing nice with APUs. It would potentially conflict with dynamic memory allocation by windows/the APUs driver. Try configuring your graphics options before actually logging in, set your vram limit to something like 2gb and disable dynamic memory allocation. See if that lets you get in world. As for logs, they’re in your appdata folder for firestorm, they show the location here on the firestorm wiki under how to file a jira https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/file_a_jira#how_to_give_us_your_logs

Well, the tv is an Insignia F50 (2021), so hopefully that wouldn't be old. I plan on trying a cable straight from the server to the tv to see if that improves. Will update soon on the status of that. Tried different codecs on the hardware acceleration as mentioned earlier to no avail. Thanks for the explanation. For my situation, it does seem like attempting to switch codecs would have been for naught and affect performance.

You'd be using any generic thermal paste, ideally non-conductive. If you live nearby any place that sells computer hardware, even Best Buy, they'll have some basic stuff or Corsair branded stuff. People get way too deep into min-maxing thermal paste. As long as its non-conductive and thermal paste, its fine. Otherwise you could run into an issue I ran into back in 2014 or so with Artic Silver 5 and have a small strand shorting the die to one of the caps around the die on the substrate that prevented the machine from POSTing. Just be careful removing the cooler to not mess up the thermal pads too much. Ideally you're mitigating the damage to them so you can reuse them. On a DDR6 card like the 6700XT, even if you have to put the pieces back on, it should be fine. You'll more than likely tear some of them or they'll just tear on their own, but just play puzzle pieces with the parts so they're still mostly whole.

Not to do the 7800x3d although a Ryzen is fine just to do something not as focused on gaming. Sorry

I suspect so, it's not "powered", it has residual static

My AMD Ryzen 7 8700G crashes when running Firestorm viewer. It is a crash black screen reboot. No BSOD, no other messages, just a reboot. I tuned off the integrated GPU (not fun or easy) wiped the drivers, and installed a dedicated GPU, RX 550. Firestorm ran great. AMD says it is the viewer code. Anyone else have this problem or suggestions for a way to catch the application state before the reboot?

Hey man i fixed it i asked a guy i know he said try unpark cpu cores and it worked its now working like it should but thanks for the help anyway

just get a 14700k it performs very similarly to the 13900k while costing $100 less this is the lowest I could get it with 2tb of storage and decent cooling and mobo PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K 3.4 GHz 20-Core Processor ($389.99 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 56.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($116.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 EAGLE AX ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($179.99 @ Newegg) Memory: *Silicon Power Value Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($97.97 @ Amazon) Storage: Leven JPS800 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($104.99 @ Amazon) Case: Montech AIR 903 MAX ATX Mid Tower Case ($75.00 @ Newegg) Power Supply: MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($104.99 @ Newegg) Total: $1069.92 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-04-26 11:48 EDT-0400

You want overclocking and a 13900k, you’re spending at minimum $200 on cooling alone, and then a chassis that supports at least a 360mm radiator. Your mindset is “oh I don’t need all those fancy cosmetic features” thinking that’s what makes a build like this expensive. What makes any build with a 13900k expensive is needing a good motherboard and a really good cooler. And cutting corners on those things, you won’t be able to overclock beyond just “look it says Z690 in hwinfo” and it’ll thermal throttle itself into the ground constantly. This is like asking for a cheap, luxury car with off-road capability. It exists, minus the cheap part. And if you want the cheap part, you compromise the other required attributes.

though, i never changed a thermal paste on a GPU before, hopefully i don't destroy or break the Card if i decided to repaste it.

It is a BIOS issue. The last two revisions of the BIOS have been to accommodate the new AMD processors.
