Another "when" method I've used in the past is to basically firewall off MS servers. Windows can't update if it can't reach MS servers. MS has a list somewhere of the servers/ports for WU to work. You can simply use that in reverse to only block MS servers. Note this also blocks MS Store in case that matters.

Gameboy Color? NeoGeo Pocket Color? Wonderswan Crystal?

Probably cheap or lots of 10ish year old ssd is dying probably all of them have bought same month years ago. Probably black friday.

okay so I haven't really changed anything, but I noted my cpu is running at 5.3ghz! that seems far too high. I havent tried overclocking and all the bios settings are default! I dont think I have any programs that should be making it run that fast

I am planning on doing a Ryzen 7 7800x3D build. Right now I don’t have enough money to buy a new gpu. I currently have an ancient Asus R9 290x which I could use. But I don’t know if I will run into problems by using that gpu? My other possible option is to buy a second hand NVIDIA 2000 or 3000 series gpu for now. Until I can afford a 4000 gpu

Conclusions so far are that my 14900ks is stable for individual p-cores using auto motherboard settings, except disabling ASUS enhancements, and limiting p-cores by cores used to x59 for 1 to 8 cores. Setting the limit to x60 will get errors when compiling GCC on cores 8 & 9 and 10 & 11 which are the only ones that should be able to boost over x59 anyway. This suggests that the "extra" boost to x62 should only be enabled when only one hyper-thread is being used.

You can also stop Copilot from running in the background through settings, it will still be installed but it won't ever run unless you tell it to. If that's not good enough for you and you want to disable it in the registry, there should be plenty of guides online.

Yeah, I'm well acquainted with optimising settings, but with VRAM usage trending upwards I don't want to be stuck with what's barely enough right now, 12GB doesn't seem futureproof at all, I have 12GB right now and routinely max it out, and I don't even use gimmicky ultra settings. I just feel angry that NVidia's entire lineup seems to be driving me towards the 4070 Ti Super by gimping the VRAM on previous cards. I'd like to buy an AMD gpu - hell it's the reason I have one now - but FSR just sucks so hard. Is 12GB really enough?

I was second guessing myself lmao. But since they’re in a non US country the Arctic should be cheap enough I’d heard the fans are loud, pump too in reviews. How’s yours? They might be wrong or have faulty units

As far as I know you can pause updates again after pending updates were installed, but I could be wrong.

5h if not more.

if you go to windows update advanced options, you can set it to pause updates for up to 35 days but i'm not too sure if you can keep repeating the process forever.

While you can't really control what updates Windows wants to install (mandatory really does mean mandatory in Windows), you can control when you want to install them. You can pause automatic updates for up to 5 weeks, during that period Windows won't check for new updates, but will resume doing that once the time runs out or you tell it to resume.

With the fan the other way it is more likely to suck in your GPU's heat, but it shouldn't make it that hot. Unless your GPU is boiling hot too?

Use a program such as HWInfo64 to see more precise temperature readings. You might need to repaste your CPU, or you may have mounted the cooler wrong.

hello guys im completely beginner in oc so bear with me i have an i5-11600kf paired with an Z490 A pro mobo, AK620, and a 750w xigma psu that is dying (it do weird noise when i hit full stress test on GPU AND CPU combined) the main reason for me to oc is basically i want more fps in cs2 due me getting a 280hz monitor with the research i conducted i have oc with the following settings changed load-line calibration is mode 6 CPU ratio 49 ring 43 voltage 1.370, CPU in dynamic ratio mode NOTE: this is not something i came up with its basically a guy in youtube OC and i just copied it i have used this OC for 4 days i think and it was stable, ive tested it also in OCCT for 20 min all good however i have reverted the OC after checking some other people results with lower voltages and made me worried of degrading the cpu so as the title say can someone help me re-overclocking my CPU + any motherboard settings i need to change? thanks in advance attached below is a ss of my hwmonitor with the oc i had and without it

Ever heard of pebble watch? Garmin, Amazfit Tech itself isn't really new

There isn't a way to prevent WINDOWS from doing that, but nothing like that will happen if you install linux

huh, maybe trouble shoot the bluetooth device in device manager, and try disabling and re-enabling it too, it could also be the BIOS revision, i had a BIOS version on my B650 tomahawk where the bluetooth was unstable and disconnect and reconnect my controller every other minute, was very annoying but they fixed it in a later version, downloading that fixed my problems

I am sick an tired of Microsoft shoving shit down my throat. I want to be able to control EXACTLY when my PC checks for updates, when and what updates I let it install.

For backing up iPhone, the sad but true reality is… just pay for iCloud. It’s the only solution that really works, besides back it up to a pc/mac and then backing up that machine. The only seamless way to backup an iPhone is via iCloud, which is one of the reasons Apple is getting sued right now by the US. As far as checksumming, yes. ZFS scrubs are what will check for and correct and big flips, and it’s easy to set up in truenas. I have mine run every 2 weeks, Wednesday night at like 1am. You should also schedule SMART checks, I think I do smart checks once or twice a week.
