eh 1700 is dead better off with am5 if you want actual futureproofing and the 14100 is just a renamed 12100f still using alderlake afaik and the 12400 is neck and neck with the 5600x, keep in mind that the 5600x is overclockable and can be found for pretty cheap used alongside its accompanying am4 mobo can pick up used midranger b3/450 for around 50$ like the tomahawk or equivalent and there are used 3600(x) for 50$ with 5600(x) at ~80$ worst case theres the 3100-3300x-3500(x) for 30-50$ depending on your local used market if you wanna buy a dead platform do it properly and get the best bang for buck not buying new like a complete moron and ripping yourself off with a 100$ board and 95$ cpu that has the same if not worse performance than cpus from 4 years ago 1700 is only viable with a 12600k(f) and ddr4 cause if you can afford ddr5 you can jump over to am5 with a cheap 7600 (~180-200$) or even an aliexpress 7500f (130$) and get a much better board at the 100-130$ mark like the b650m hdv whilst getting a cpu that draws less power and is straight up faster in singlecore with a platform where you dont need to do a mobo swap or ram swap (if you get hynixes) to upgrade the cpu

Steam provides developers tools to lend Valve's anticheat service in their games, called Game Bans. They appear on user's profiles. Once enabled for the publisher API key, you can ban any user that owns the game with a simple HTTP request. While Valve disallows the use of this API for any non-cheating purposes, it hasn't stopped malicious devs from abusing this to attack, suppress, or potentially even racially discriminate their own customerbase. These Game Bans are shown on Steam profiles and will permanently mark users as cheaters, destroying their reputations, which is their nefarious goal. They know they can get away with it, as they have been able to do this unpunished, for years now. The victims can't retaliate, as Valve has a policy to simply not help and ignore banned users. They redirect victims to their abusers, which is obviously not going to do anything. There have been many attempts to make Valve aware of this problem and have them do something about it, but they do not seem to care. What do you think of this?

I might be interested in buying this laptop, but I can’t find if it has a second ssd slot or not. This is necessary as I have another ssd that I need to add into this laptop.

Usually when you have the core temp in acceptable ranges but a dramatically higher hot spot in excess of +30C, its because of poor contact or the thermal paste is defective in some way (could be poor application from the factory). Its unlikely that the delta between the core and hot spot is that high due to a lack of airflow, but not impossible. If you're comfortable doing it, repasting the graphics card would be a good idea. What's the history of that card? Was it something you got new or used and how long have you had it?

I am in the process of making images for a large amount of computers with many different users so I am trying to keep all of my shortcuts in group policy. I can get all the URLs I need to go up just fine but I am lost on how to do it with applications such as ms paint, notepad. As well as shortcuts for logging off, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Any ideas are appreciated.

Science be damned!!!!!

it doesn't make a difference from what i see when i open the side panel, for the GPU fans, they should be running at their max RPM

The webiste you have linked is not working for me. I found a similar website and I have linked screenshots of both the ip's one from the website and one from my router's admin page. https://ibb.co/F3BWf3G https://ibb.co/PCfv3BJ looks like both the ip's are different

This is when i'm idle or not playing The Last of Us

looks so coooool

Do I get like a 3 year anniversary for how MIA I’ve been? Lol

@filpohas the exact one your talking about in the bottom list if im not mistaken haha

ill try to open the front temper glass and the front panel

I am not sure on how to find the ip in my router but I have dug through some settings and found one. I have linked both ip addresses. https://ibb.co/F3BWf3G https://ibb.co/PCfv3BJ edit: I forgot to say both the address are not the same. So what does this mean?

Here's the info from HWInfo64

Arctic 36 may be a bit weak for a 5900X full blast, but if you undervolt it a bit and keep PPT under 140W (don't need eco mode) it'll work fine I think

I finally created my account just to ask this. Was reading an article on Ars Technica about an HIV outbreak that started because of a process called "Vampire Facials". It mentions "microneedling" which I remember Linus mentioning when he shaved his beard. Does anyone know if that is the cosmetic procedure he got done? https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/dirty-vampire-facials-behind-first-hiv-outbreak-linked-to-spa-treatments/

Please do not revive an 8-year old thread, just start a new one.

Or you could save those double digit dollars and save up for something much faster like the bottom of the barrel 14100F. Agiven you'll need a new motherboard but in the long term you'll save significantly more money building yourself a strong foundation than keeping alive a system that's begging to be put down
