  1. make sure both displays are plugged into the same GPU. 

    honestly, it probably won't be that great with a 2 monitor setup because you're going to have a bezel in the middle of your FOV. 
    I tried NVSurround with my three 3440*1440 displays and the support is terrible, and the desktop experience is made worse. it's not super great IMO, and you aren't missing anything.

    What is the difference between tactile response for brown switches and blue switches? for example the Gateron or any other switch type

    are you looking to know at what depth the switch gives tactile feedback? in the form of resistance, pass-bump, or bottoming out?  
    what do YOU like to feel most? 

    laptops, for example, are all bottom-out, with no good resistance or pass-bump. (pass bump is what I call it when a key gives you that affirmative feedback that it's pressed, without being totally bottomed out.)

    By great typing experience I mean the keystrokes must be good unlike the laptop keyboards. I have read that the low profile switches are very similar to laptop keyboards and so do not give the experience of a mechanical keyboard

     

    very similar in terms of depress length, maybe. in terms of spongey feeling, no.

    no mechanical board regardless of height, could possibly be as spongey as laptop membranes.

    I want to buy a mechanical keyboard and I came across the low profile mechanical switches. I have tried the normal mechanical switches in near by stores, but could not get my hands on a low profile mechanical keyboard. Could someone tell me the difference in typing experience between a Low profile and a regular mechanical keyboard? My only requirement is a great typing experience, whether it is a low profile or a normal keyboard.

    "great typing experience" is pretty subjective. 

    with tall key caps i tend to fat finger more often than i do with low profile or membrane keyboards. your mileage may vary.

    Yes there is a way on WIN10, Win8/8.1, likely also Win7 as well but best research that one if that's the case..
    You stand the chance of loosing your install if something goes wrong, and different systems may behave differently.

    Start REGEDIT and look for this line :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride
    Change the 0 DWORD value from 3 to 0.
    Reboot, and change your SATA controller to AHCI in BIOS.

    Now let it boot into safe mode, WIN 10 will install required drivers for AHCI.
    Now with a normal boot you will boot into Windows with AHCI drivers.

    they haven't installed windows yet.

    I’ve reset the cmos already and I can’t get to the bios to update it because I can’t get past that screen

     

    your motherboard doesn't support BIOS Flashing without full boot?

    is this a new motherboard? what board is it and what CPU?  I assume this is the first time you've put together this particular machine?
    are you sure the chipset supports the CPU without a BIOS update?

    my friend has two of the same 8Gb ram cards. in slots 1 and 3 it will show using 1 slot and only 8gb total. same with slots 2 and 4. both cards work individually in all 4 slots (1 of 4 slots for total of 8Gb). only when its put into slots 1&2 2&3 3&4 and 1&4 will it show that its using 2 slots for a total of 16Gb. im pretty sure that its not supposed to work like that and that its not dual channel. what should he do to run dual channel ?

    at some point you may want to just deal with it. i've had crazy stuff like this happen with my RAM channels before where i know all of my sticks are good, and all of my slots are good, but not in all configurations. I personally haven't ever figured out why it does this. i'd run it in whatever configuration allows for the most RAM. if they are good sticks I wouldn't sweat over dual channel too much.

    Could be bent pins in the cpu socket, I hat this issue with my 3570k years ago

    lol WUT? i don't think so.

    I have the laptop display still connected yes, and idk how to check the pcie bus on this laptop.

    Also, might you be in the LTT discord? I could dm you and talk about this easier

    i'm not on the discord, sorry. 

    any luck?

    You mean plugging in the PSU at the same time as I click the power button right?? If that's what you mean it still doesn't work. 

    i mean flipping the power switch on a pre-jumped PSU when you hit the power switch for the motherboard. 
    have everything already connected. 

    do you have the laptop display connected still? and a 2nd display out of the GPU? that way you can see either if they come on. also, just enter the BIOS and see if you can detect anything on the PCIe bus.

    Recently I turned on the fTPM on my asus B550 wifi motherboard because of the new Windows 11 TPM 2.0 requirements, after I did that I started getting random stuttering on everything, heavy cpu or gpu load don’t seem to trigger it, I tried running the heaven benchmark and doing some heavy renders in blender but nothing happened , its just random and everything stutters, discord calls, games, YouTube, it happens randomly at least 3 times a day

     

    I turned off fTPM and the stuttering went away, anyone have a clue what could be happening? I have a 3090 and a 3900xt

    which ASUS b550 wifi motherboard is this? TUF gaming or ROG Strix? 

    the tuf gaming has a TPM header. you would do best with buying the TPM chip to go in the header instead of using the fTPM because the Firmware TMP probably steals clock cycles from the CPU if i had to guess. whereas dedicated TPM hardware does not.

  11. i wouldn't consider an ITX for a workstation at all. either EATX or ATX. 
    if your programs use CPU compute, then go with a threadripper, otherwise, pack the 5950x on an ATX board so you can slot another quadro later if you use GPU compute. 

    ITX is going to cap you at 64GB of ram and if you find your projects need more than that you can't cram in any more sticks. go with ATX for the 4 dimm slots and extra PCIe slots. 
    i'd use those 2x 32GB sticks instead of the 4x16GB sticks too, to save space for later. 

    your case is up to you. 
    you don't need an Auros M.2, just get a samsung. 
    do not cheap out on a PSU. go 750W on either build. if you add a 2nd quadro or upgrade toi a higher TDP card later you're going to regret the 550W 
    always get a wifi motherboard, even if you're going in LAN. no one ever regrets that. and situations change down the road. flexibility is key.

    yeah he must've overclocked it hard but man this card is beefy itll need extreme cooling to reach scores of a 3080 ti. however in gaming there isnt a big difference between the 3080 and the 3080 ti about 10 fps as far i can tell from youtube results

    shhhh don't tell me that. i paid too much for this. let me believe.

    wow im actually shocked. i guess im in the clear. i dont know why but i really keep thinking that my gpu is like the best or one of the best 3080s you can find so i see some people getting a bit higher scores and i instantly think im underperforming but looks like im not. you sir are of great help thank you

    yeah, it's best to look at your specific card because if you just look at the raw scores it's going to be flooded with LN2 and LH overclockers that do it for the lulz and records with shelves of spare GPUs to swap out when they pop the one they put under the coldpot. 

    you're good dude. 
    i'm pretty impressed with that 1 OC dude that beat you with the same card because he's got a score of 16000-ish, which is neck and neck with my 3080 ti. 
    he can't hold that score all day long though, and everyone only publishes the best scores 😛  my Ti can pull 16000s all day at 89C.

    Oh well, we can't all be K|ngp|n

    i actually did run it on 4k optimized and i compared results but due to how inexperienced i am i couldnt tell from other people's scores if they are using OC or not cuz if they are getting higher scores than mine without oc that means my gpu ( i think) is underperforming. this is a score i got yesterday 

     

    would be great if you can somehow tell me if im getting the scores i should be getting using stock setitngs


    https://benchmark.unigine.com/leaderboards/superposition/1.x/4k-optimized/single-gpu/page-1

     

    look at this. these are the 4k optimized scores for Unigine Superposition 
    now in the search box enter your MSI rtx3080 X trio and find the scores for that specific card. your scores are in the high end of the range. only 1 user with that specific card is higher than you. probably due to a custom OC.
