It would be slotted in , positioned below the existing heatpipe. using (carbon high performance ?) termal pad between heatpipes. Ofc, i know the cooling efficiency would not be ideal, but it could mby provide aidtional 40w of cooling, depending on how big the aditional heatsing would be and the quality of the implementation as a whole, that would be good for getting more performance out of GPU and running a quiter laptop fan. You could even put a 40mm fan on the heatsink. The cooler(heatpipe) would be slotted/inserted from the back (need to make sure display when opened is not in the way) and it could use some tightening mechanism to make pressure on the existing heatpipe (with graohite termal pad in between them), yes sketchy

I am using win11 desktop with this BT dongle: Hoco USB Bluetooth 5.0 Dongle https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003683353145.html Also tried installing official drivers. Already tried these, but it didnt help: https://github.com/nefarius/ScpToolkit/issues/350 https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/gpm04k/bluetooth_disappeared_from_my_computer_after/ Looks like this now: https://imgur.com/a/MWfcHBj

also, somehow, latest nvidia driver got rolled back by windows, myb that also fixed it, anyway, fck nvidia also

solved by uninstalling latest ms win11 update throught recovery mode, fck u MS

literally impossible to use PC, video uploading.... I can open Task manager and device manager through ctrl alt del and through Run, but cant see desktop nor win explorer. i cant navigate through device manager, it becomes unresponsive rtx 3070 r5 5600 b550

Alright, I bricked my Gigabyte windforce R9 290 by flashing faulty bios on to it, even better, i managed to brick the second bios (I am very smart). Also while switching the switch to use another bios i managed to brake the switch and it came out ... PC doesn't POST with R9 290 in it (classic black screen), only posts and works fine when I use Intel's iGPU (which i cant game on). And right now i cant flash the normal BIOS on because system wont even recognize the card because there is no bios, I also get "adapter not found" when trying to get info or flash the bios in the DOS using AtiFlash. I've found the "short 1+8 pin on the bios chip" method but it wont work , also tried shorting 4th and 5th pin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYm2BjagCP8 (1st YT comment) but that also doesnt work. My best guess is that i didnt make good contacts on the pins or the BIOS switch on the card is fucked and doesnt make good contact as well (I managed to put it in somehow, but it doesnt feel right). Here are all the pics, might help. https://imgur.com/a/JlcAsE5

This was the original/previous post. You should read that one first then come here. *every time you see "PC wont boot" i mean PC turned on, every fan spins, but there is no POST, black screen on monitor* I invited my friend to come over with his PC which has similar specs to mine, i swapped every single component, one buy one until my system worked. and the faulty component was the motherboard. Today i installed new bought motherboard. Plugged everything in. Checked every setting in BIOS. PC booted into windows no problem. Launched a game,then i shut down the PC. Great, the MOBO really was the problem then. now for the best part. put the PC in the case, plugged everything in , PC wont boot, i plugged front IO and power button corectly, same thing when i try to boot it shorting the 2 pins, every fan spins, but there is no POST, black screen on monitor also plugged in different monotor, same shit I have absolutely 0 idea how to fix this. All in all i spent over 14 hours on diagnostics in the span of 1 week.

gonna do a more detailed inspection of the whole board, and probably gonna buy a new one. i just think its crazy how the whole pc worked, got into bios and got to play a game in the middle of the troubleshooting, randomly

Ok, specs: i5 4590 mobo:gigabyte b85-hd3 R9 290, wd10ezex 1TB, 2x8 GB sticks of hyper x RAM, PSU: xfx TS 650w owned the PC for 4 years, treat it rly well, regular dust cleaning and thermal paste replacement. suddenly one day PC wont Post/boot, there isnt that one beep from mobo speaker, rather the speaker makes quiet tick sound every 3 sec. I didnt install or change a thing. already done troubleshooting: i followed sticky "no post guide", changed Ram placement in every possible combination, cleared CMOS, tried using iGPU, tried brand new PSU,upon visual inspection there is no damage of any kind on MOBO, and even reinstalled the whole PC outside of the case. nothing helped if i dont put any ram into mobo, mobo beeps like it should now The Best part pc sometimes posts and boots into windows,regardless of what i changed. in my statistics there is around 10% chance of PC booting,pure fucking RNG. that time i entered the bios, checked every single thing , all was lookibg fine, restarted pc entered windows launched and played a demanding game, no problems, i was like, great. But, i decided to shut down pc and boot it back up just to check. boom, pc wont post, just like b4, and i didnt change a thing. so pls if anyone thinks he is knowlagable try to solve this one , ty

There are a lot of different screen/game capture software out there. I was wonder which one is the best in terms of fps drop. I know that shadowplay doesn't impact fps so much but i have R9 290. There is Raptr from AMD but there is also OBS. I couldn't find a benchmark comparison between all different programs. I dont really care about other features. Fps impact is my main concern. Btw. I think this could also make a good YT video for Linus - measuring the fps impact of 4-6 different recording software while a game benchmark is running to determine which one is the best.

It really depends on the games you are going to play and what type of games do you like. If a specific game is req. quad core CPU then the choice is obvious, but generally i would go for i3 and 1060.

Ok. My C: partition is 97 GB large. Every file combined in it takes up 42 GB. But it says there is only 29 GB left , WTF ? I should have at least 25 more GB left . I know windows has some hidden files for protection and other crap but that doesnt take more than 25 gigs. As you can see :

Main monitor : AOC G2260VWQ6 1080p, 75 hz, 1ms (using DP) 2nd monitor : some old LG 1360x768, 60 hz, 5ms (using DVI) My colors, brightness, and black levels on AOC are normall when my 2nd monitor is turned on, but as soon as i turn off my 2nd monitor (start+P --> PC screen only), colors and gamma on my AOC start to look really bad. Looks like there are only few levels of black and grey resulting a bad images in games where is dark (night) . On the color calibration websites online i cannot see all levels of black that i should see when my 2nd monitor is turned off, but as soon as I turn on my LG monitor it looks well . I do not know why this weird issue exists and i would much appreciate it if some could explain to me why does this happend when i turn off my 2nd display. Right now i am stuck with my 2nd display being turned on, even doe I don't use it very much . 1st world problems :P

Driver version : Crimson 16.2 (beta/hotfix) GPU : Gigabyte windforce R9 290 (1040 base core clock , 1250 base memory clock) CPU (just so you know) : i5-4590 OS: windows 10 x64 PSU : XFX 650W I overclocked my GPU to 1130 core/1320 memory without raising the voltage and it is running stable for 6 months (not 24/7 OC, i only OC when starting demanding game). BUT I WANT MORE. I don't know "which voltage to raise" !? Using GPU-Z i see : 12V : 11.88 V VDDC : 1.008 V (sometimes randomly (but rarely) increses itself to 1180 V for a really short period) VDDCl : 1.000 V Wtf, which one of those i consider my base voltage ? and which one i can/should increase ? On MSI Afterburner i see : GPU1 voltage : 1.008 V GPU1 aux voltage : 1.000 V In the overlocking tab i can increase core voltage and aux voltage but i dont know which one to raise first and should i even touch "aux voltage" ?! Can some of you explain to me what all of this means and what are safe voltages for my R9 290 ?

nah.. T-com in Croatia doesnt have good customer support and they wont even try to fix it. There were multiple complains about the similar thing but they did not fix it.
