Your AIO seems dead, and the stock cooler seems badly installed...

win+r, type "diskpart" and hit enter. Allow administrator access. Your flash drive probably shows up under Disks as 0 bytes, but not Volumes, correct? Unfortunately there is nothing you can do - it seems as though the controller is alive, but the flash chip is dead. If you're lucky, the hardware failure could be as "simple" as a broken trace or bad solder which you could fix if you know how to do SMD rework. But likely, the flash chip is completely cooked and it needs professional data recovery.

Unless you need the bleeding edge, you start to stretch the definitions of old and 'ancient history'. For a regular Joe who uses the basics - a 10yo pc will doubtfully hinder his life. Afaik, a 10yo MacBook Air can still handle bare minimum, with macOS still getting the crucial security updates once in a while. A 10yo iPhone 6S also gets the security updates afaik and is usable. But OMG, these devices can't play AV1 without chugging the battery like crazy and can not handle 4k encoding/decoding... ... of tech is mainly the reason why 10, 5 or even less years can become the performance cutoff.

Further testing has shown that just testing p-cores one at a time with two hyper-threads, and testing all p-cores together is not enough to confirm stability. It looks like you need to test in groups of four as well, so for example: MAKEOPTS="-j9" taskset -c 0-7 emerge -1 gcc MAKEOPTS="-j9" taskset -c 8-15 emerge -1 gcc To test the first four p-cores and the last four p-cores in a group of four. If a full multi-core load draws say ~400W when there are no power limits, 4 p-cores would draw around 200W of power flat-out, which is under the 253W limit, so the power limits won't stop 4 p-cores overheating if they are each running two hyper-threads.

Hi guys. My Patriot Supersonic Rage Pen drive who lasted many years suddenly died, but sadly I had many important private files on it and did not made backup. Any way to somehow save the data via some software? Drive is recognized in device manager but not is disk managment and not in my computer

Are you using thermal paste?

It's a different bundle, it's a sort of rare x13 variant with a 3050 instead of a 3050 ti, and with the 6850m XT xgm.

I know that putting in a CPU that already has PCIe 4.0 is the "Preferred" thing to do. This was just a question and NOT a Real World Scenario. I know EXACTLY what I am doing. I posted this for people who might not know the differences between the two.

i will definitely do that thanks so much for the advice

Gonna be real if you think this is "The worst" customer support I dread to think what it will be like when you experience actual god-awful support. Try mailing a product back to a company 5 times to get "fixed" and getting it back with the same problem every single time leaving you unable to use the product for months and at the time it was the most expensive thing you ever bought. Not to mention only getting them to finally replace the product as they should when you called out the CEO on twitter.

ohhh i didn't see that either

From what I can see, not much. Probably something in the neighbourhood of 150-200MB. Edit: I was right, 185MB are hardware reserved, I didn't see that at first.

atleast youve got that but even then still kinda not worth it aside from just buying an i5/i7 and putting a better gpu psu upgrade if you need it for a better gpu is fine since those can be carried forward as long as you arent an idiot and buy a new <750w trash unit (~50$) instead of a used 750/850w rm(x) or equivalent around the 50$ mark thatll handle new 80 and probably 90 class cards with ease (ex 3080) budget? country? you can usually get an old polaris 70 or 80 card at ~30-40$ for a 4gb variant and ~50$ for an 8gb variant and these cards have similar performance to a gtx 1060 which will be alot better than a gt730 though that thing might still fetch 10$ if someones looking for a cheap display adapter, power draw can be reduced to ~100w with an undervolt to .86v core clock ~1100 atleast thats what i saw with an rx 580 2048sp 8gb (basically an rx 570)

i think it could also be reserving some for their intel graphics

At this point, I just consider it vaporware! I have one of the first backpacks and was vry qucik to sent the Google form about the zippers back in Dez. 2023. In March, I contacted LTT support and they still cannot tell, when it will be sent to me. Conclusion: It is vaporware until I have it in my hands. Regards

Hello, I would like to know if anybody can connect the regular PSU on the HP 705 G4. since the HP PSU had 2 x 4-pin 12V power and 7-pin Pwr command it would be something Like this? I recently bought Coolermaster V750 SFX and where the cable that I connected to it well, Let me know if you know the Diagram of this "power command" connector

You have to be careful with this sort of thing. Your ISP is not selling you a connection that is meant to be maxed out all the time, its being sold based on the fact it wont be as the combined available bandwidth will be much less than all customers combined. If you max it out continually during peak hours, you're going to be slowing down other customers connections and the ISP will not be happy. If you only do it during quiet times when everyone is asleep, they probably wont care however. eg Soon I will be able to buy 1.8Gbit, but that is effectively shared between 30 customers on my fibre segment. I'm effectively being allowed to use ALL the bandwidth, as its not expected I would ever do so for long periods so it wont impact other customers.

I have a Ryzen 9 3900x and I just fully reset my PC in an attempt to fix this overheating issue. I had an ID cool AIO and yet it was at 70 C at idle. So i popped the stock cooler back on to see if it was the cooler that was causeing the issue but it continues to be at 69-70 C at idle.

The SSDs were bad. I'm headed home now to try reinstalling all the other drivers but at least the PC wasn't slow when I tried copying my steam games from my external HDD. Thank you for being on this journey with me

your laptop will only use as much ram as the system thinks is required, cached or otherwise. have you tried looking at your ram usage while in a game or similar load? you'll probably see the ram pick up.

I just finally finished my rounds. I got a Samsung Evo 990 and it's now working perfectly. There are a lot of counterfeit SSDs here but thankfully I was able to lay my hands on original SSDs. The system is operating optimally now. Thank you so much.
