Ive had the PC for a few years now, I did have an issue when i initially upgraded my ram (clock speed was too fast i had to underclock it because the clock speed for some reason would cause my pc to get BSOD) ever since i did that i got stable performance out of everything with the very odd occasional error. this just happened to pop up randomly. I do have fast boot enabled in bios ill have to check if i have it enabled in windows. As for removing them with DDU I used amds software to uninstall previous drivers. I was just playing for an hour thinking i solved everything and the crash happened again.

Basically this. You can max out PPT TDC EDC by disabling limits. You can also set a limit like in this video.

TLDR: start with TDC EDC PPT values, Then move on to curve optimizer with as much negative value you can push without sacrificing stability.

It's up to the person at the RMA center. If he is having a bad day, yes that is enough. Nobody on the LTT forum can tell you.

Need Help on 5700X3D Undervolt Tutorial! Some said that I should use the PBO2 App and someone said that I should use the BIOS. 2 Problems, I cant find a easy to understand tutorials on both the App and on the BIOS (Gigabyte B550M DS3H Rev1.7). I guess its because the 5700X3D is a new chip that is why there are few tutorials?

Like this: ACB on bridge. DHCP on ER-X. You should be able to power it over POE after installation. You might have to switch ports around in order to do so. First power it with power adaptor, then enable POE on ER-X

Futher adding to these; Did you cross tighten the screws to get even pressure?

Hello there, I want to setup my network, when I did it my way devices were losing wifi connection. I was using the AirCube ISP with PoE and it was running in Bridge Mode, I assumed when it's in bridge mode it will use the EdgeRouter X settings, portforwarding, filters etc. but some people say I shouldn't be using Bridge Mode. I'm also using Home Assistant and about 10 devices connected. How do I set it up? Bridge Mode or Router Mode? Static IP or DHCP? I'm not a network person.

Id argue that one feeds a decent bit of air to the GPU and so would be beneficial to keep there

Nah its fine, i have 7 intake and 2 exhaust, and thats a bit (read; WAY) too much but its still fine, it just means i have really strong positive pressure, so air flies out wherever it can find and i can run my front fans much slower, so lower noise

I used that pump for 1-2 years without any color additive etc. So it had some roughness and then I polished it and maybe it works maybe it doesn't, I think it will take a year to know that

Also if you have faulty display cable it's known to caue flicker or outright driver crashing with 5000 series RDNA cards.

That should be fine. So long as warranty hasn't expired.

Maybe. Depends. You can ask them before sending. Also make sure your issue isn't driver related. Check in bios if you got fast boot turned on or off. After, check in windows if its set the same. If it's not the same it will crash your driver. Also make sure CSM is disabled. If you still got issues, download DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/Download-Display-Driver-Uninstaller-DDU-18076 Run DDU in safe mode, will prompt at launch of DDU. After rebooting into safe mode, go to options in DDU and set "prevent windows update from installing drivers". Choose clean and don't restart for AMD drivers. Then after DDU is finished run again with Nvidia. Run clean and shutdown for installing new GPU. Turn off PSU and install 7900 XTX again.

Realistically, Everything that is a big loss tends to be either a) bleeding edge (never buy high end parts like i9's or xx90 GPU's upon release), I've bought one xx90, and only when it was half the price it was a few weeks earlier. I refuse to buy the i9's because they essentially need liquid coolers. Don't liquid cool unless you are going all-out on high end parts. b) obscure (one of the reasons why I won't buy a VR HMD, they all universally suck at present, and will continue to do so because people just don't want VR until there is a must-have app, and all we keep getting are less capable ugly re-inventions of second life. I basically noped the hell out of VR. c) not capable of what's advertised. PDA's, I swear Microsoft abandoned this market instead of transforming it into a smartphone and basically ceded the entire smartphone development to Apple. I had three. I've less smart phones, primarily because of this burn and why I won't touch Android. Give me something that lasts 7 years, or I'll just hypermile whatever I use. So in terms of "lost money" every single laptop. Do not buy laptops if you want to play games. Do not buy laptops if you need a "Desktop replacement" they universally suck and are getting worse in every way. If you need a laptop for portability reasons that is one thing, but at home, and at work you should have a desktop tower, or even a SFF rather than a laptop. Why are laptops terrible: a) laptops used as desktop replacements last 18 months b) ultrabook designs have exceptionally low life spans, and are noisy as hell. c) They are typically twice as expensive as a desktop for the same performance. An overengineered desktop will last you 10 years if you want it to. A laptop's life is dictated by it's battery and it's cooling fans. Until we get to a point where batteries can be removed ad-hoc and the laptop remains usable off a USB-C power source/docking station, laptops are poor investments.

Try to ask how long has the AIO been used AIO part degraded over time, especially the pump and unless you have specific technical skill to tear down the pump, most people would just replace the whole AIO Most AIO has 5-7 years of warranty, so with the price on eBay that is half of MSRP, I would hope that the user hasn't use the AIO for more than 2 years NZXT product performs good, but not great, especially with the premium price tag but pale in comparison to most other brand. The positive side of NZXT kraken, it surely does looks really aesthetic when paired with NZXT case to keep it on the same ecosystem

If using a CPU air cooler, then just take the lowest front fan and place in the back. Remember more fans = more noise. Also more exhaust than intake = more dust.

I will have to give it another shot. The desktop always grays out for me in HDR mode but maybe I’m not remembering right. I just got the C3 like a month ago and tested it briefly. The washed out look is what I normally remember from all times I’ve tried it.

I've been having a problem with my Sapphire 7900xtx Nitro. It just stopped displaying any signal about 5 minutes after being booted up. I was just chilling in discord and my screen when black . Card worked perfectly fine for 7 months without a single issue. I've tried all sorts of stuff and I cannot seem to make it display a thing. I even went out and bought a new Mobo / PSU / Ram / CPU. Reformatted , Clean install of windows. No overclocks. Never have. Cleared CMOS . My old 1070TI Works no problem. Using that one right now. My specs are currently . AMD Ryzen 7800X3D Corsair 32gig DDR 6000hz CL 30 MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Corsair RM1000x Shift Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD's NVMe 2TB I am wanting to RMA my card but the RMA process says my warranty wont be deemed good if Returned GPU is found to have cosmetic damages with obvious scratches . I have a few scratches due to having a case that barley fit the card for a few months before I was able to upgrade to a bigger one. The scratches should have nothing to do with the performance of the card. Will these scratches screw my RMA over for a 1500$ card? I'm located in Canada if that matters at all.

I mean HDR10 doesn’t talk about brightness. I think you be fine with nearly any modern monitor in a dark environment. HDR10 just means it supports HDR signal.

Is 3 intake and 1 exhaust enough exhaust or is there too much intake vs exhaust? That’s why I was thinking 2 might be needed but I’m not well versed on the subject.

I wouldn't personally upgrade if my PC was those specs. I would use it for quite a few more years first.

Best would be rear exhaust first and foremost, then if he wants to add a top exhaust he can too
