  1. If you want my opinion, that's a big enough red flag to scrap facebook as is. That's creepy as hell, and I'm sure there's plenty of other ways to connect with people. If you're still that dedicated, just use a stock/random photo of someone online, then once you get on your account, change it.
  2. Since i have a basically new rig, on UWQHD, I'd say 60 is "acceptable" but I'm only happy when I see 3 digits.
  3. I just use a password with randomly generated passwords, then make a password you can't forget. My Bitdefender password is like 30+ characters, but I have it set I have to need to be put in every time I open Firefox, so it's burned into my mind. Side bar, does anyone have a method to check to see which passwords need to be changed? I have like 30 passwords in my vault and I really would like to avoid changing them all if possible.
  4. It confuses me when there's data breaches for Chinese based, or random no name, or "free" VPNs, and people are blown away and act like all VPNs are cancer and just as or worse off than no VPN. Illegal activity aside, there's plenty of uses for VPNs (privacy, security, geolocked content, avoid throttling, etc). You can also get some pretty solid deals from reputable companies, and they're end up costing as much as a couple coffee's a month. Define "many" on the data cap comment? Pretty much any reputable, popular VPN has zero cap. I think if anyone does their research, and shops around a bit you can find a reliable, safe, no log VPN.
  5. If you're that dedicated to using Facebook, just make an another account, but use a different name (i.e. First + Middle), and don't post a photo of you as your profile or cover photo. This is recommended behavior in general. EDIT: I'd keep uploaded content on it to a minimum, and just use it as a temporary placeholder until you hear back about your main account.
  6. Motor oil is make for motors, gun oil is made for guns. Just because something smells like break cleaner, doesn't mean it's brake cleaner. I don't know a single firearm that has an oil filter on it, the actual contents can be very different. If it's an expensive/precision gun I wouldn't even use something marketed as "CLP" tbh. I'd recommend like MPRO-7.
  7. I'd recommend the Seagate. That or a WD Blue would be plenty fine.
  8. With a name like that, and "Hong Kong Based" I'm not surprised in the least.
  9. Why do people recommend shit like this? The 3600x is a 6c/12t CPU. It shouldn't reach 95C on a stock cooler, never mind a 240mm AIO. The constant advice of "if it's not max temp it's not a problem" is utterly ridiculous.
  10. I agree with the above, I would bench it somewhere else and compare it. Or even just run some games and compare it to game benchmarks.
  11. Define issues? .223/5.56 is like the most common chambering in AR-15... Also just out of curiosity why are you interested in a platform purely for AP? Seems kind of pointless.
  12. it would help if we know your specs/the component this was for. It likely looks like a connector for something, or something that might plug into a RGB controller.
  13. a 1TB HDD is like $40. If it lasted you 5 years. That's 66c/month. Try unplugging the HDD and seeing if you can boot into windows. If you're still having issues it's likely an issue with your SSD as well. If you're planning on replacing the HDD with an SSD, there should be no issues as far as compatibility. Just take the HDD out and use the power/sata slot for whichever new SSD you choose. Also if your windows SSD is good, you shouldn't require a windows reinstall.
  14. So for some reason AMD doesn't even list the max safe temperature on their website for the 3300x, but if it's anything like literally any Zen 2 chip on the market, the TJMax is 95C. If that's correct and you're at 80C, you're well within the safe temperature range, though cooler is always better. You could always try to remount your cooler to see if that's an issue. That's a lot of heat for a 4c CPU. A side note, if anyone tells you 80C is good (or any temperature for that matter) without knowing the hardware/cooler/specific circumstance that they're talking about, I'd say ignore literally any tech advice they have to offer.
  15. If there's ever time to give into peer pressure, it's now.
  16. It would be really, really helpful if you linked us the exact products that you're considering buying, with the exact price, instead of posting incorrect information multiple times, and still expecting an accurate answer. I would suggest looking up the gaming benchmarks yourself and comparing. The 4800H beats the 9750H in pretty much every single conceivable benchmark imaginable. There might be a couple games the 9750H wins in, but the 4800H tends to be the most recommended CPU right now, regardless of what you're using it for.
  17. Soooo, have you contacted Gigabyte about either of these issues? Or are you just going to condemn a usually reputable company because you've had two issues that you've never really tried to find a fix for.
  18. I never said they were bad... I said they were good. I have a 1660Ti in my laptop and it shreds 1080p 144fps in lots of games. I just said it's a cheaper, better option than a 5700xt, etc for 1080p
  19. Why is that? I would still consider an A15 over the MSI since it has a 4800H + 16GB Ram + 1TB SSD. The MSI has none of those.
  20. Are those the actual links? Because they don't even have prices for them.. Regardless, the MSI has a 9300H (not 9750H), a 1650 (not a 1660Ti), 8GB ram (ew no), and an SSD 1/4 the size of the A15. For all intensive purposes the A15 is significantly better than the GF63
  21. My internet is a giant pile of ass right now, so I can't really find it. I believe it was on /r/overclocking, but I could be wrong on that. It was actually pretty nuts, just his PC being a PC then a giant flash + bang. Needless to say his OC was not stable.
  22. Your post doesn't really make sense. Do you have links? The A15 is more or less? They're completely different CPUs, so it depends which is more expensive.
  23. Yes I know, I just haven't seen a single thing about P95 destroying a CPU the entire time I've been building computers (7+ years), yet in that time I've seen multiple posts and precautionary posts about furmark, so even if their issues are older I still like to tread lightly is all.
  24. What is your budget, and what else do you need besides CPU/RAM, and what are you doing with it? There's a format sticked that you can follow that might make this a smoother experience for all parties involved.
