AFAIK I have the good one otherwise it would probably not last almost 5y already

My Arctic Cooling tech support experience:
I bought Liquid Freezer II 360 in 2019.
I just sent a mail to them like a week ago to request for the offset mount for Ryzen and included my invoice of purchase.
They replied few days later saying they are sorry it took so long and that they have already shipped the parts + extra standoff in case I lost them as the new mounting mechanism now uses some of the Intel parts that were unused for Ryzen before.
Not only it did arrive 2 days later from Germany... they also included thermal paste and cleaning stuff for free. Quite awesome!

Arctic customer service is otherworldly by today's standard
2 years ago I bought a big tube of the "oily" MX-5, months later when the oiliness issue was acknowledged I RMAed it, they accepted and sent me instead 2 big tubes of MX-4 ! (MX-6 wasn't released at that time)
Great !

Did you get the "QC passed" version or the version that needs water block change?
The one I bought got a water block filled with gunk before swapping it to an alternative (sent from Arctic for free).

Last time I had this good support was when my first ever Kingston SSD broke outside of warranty period and I emailed them just to confirm it's the drive issue.
They told me to send it to them and have sent me brand new model as a replacement without even asking for it.

Really depends from the games art style and which settings we're talking about. In general Ultra settings tend to be not worth it over high but some settings can be noticeably worse on medium/low vs high. I like cranking up textures as long as you have enough VRAM as that tends to be a big visual impact for little to no performance hit. Screen Space Reflections in Cyberpunk 2077 have for example extremely high performance impact on FPS to the point that when maxed out they almost have as much performance hit as just enabling RT reflections... But I can't tell difference between the lowest settings except off (which gives me almost 80FPS boost) and the highest one.

I don't know why you play games

I can't be really bothered. The whole point was to use the controller wirelessly in the first place
-
I knew the battery life was supposed to be bad but I still expected to get at the very least full day out of it Guess I'll have to learn to play with more breaks, lol. I have just a short USB C cable so it's uncomfortable to play while plugged in.
-
The Dual Sense controller battery life is a joke but otherwise the controller is solid. I just miss the back paddles a bit.
I got like 6h of battery life playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I played for the first 2h with haptics enabled but the game makes the controller vibrate like crazy 90% of the time which got annoying really fast.
But still, I get like 3-6months of battery life with two AA batteries on Steam Controller.... wtf is this. Heck even my Razer Basillisk Ultimate mouse gets at least a whole week of intensive use without RGB.

I get solid 7 days out of my Xbox one gen2 controller lol. Batteries are 11 years old too.

I read somewhere that bluetooth protocol that sony uses with dualsense is pretty crap regarding energy consumption.
I have pretty much the same battery life as you, regardless if I am playing on PS5 or PC.
Fun fact - edge version of the controller have even smaller battery

CPU seems all right. People get around 806 points and CB has some variation in scores so it depends, this is close enough. I'd suspect your RAM is the limiting factor then but if you're not comfortable and don't know how to navigate the BIOS then theres not much I can really help with as RAM tuning can lead to some weird issues if not tested correctly for stability. And stability testing for RAM takes at the very least hours and sometimes days depending on what you're trying to achieve. At the very least update BIOS to the latest version and maybe things will improve if you're on something really old. (if you're comfortable with that).

Sorry I was away. You tested GPU in Cinebench instead of your CPU. I also have issues finding the MemTweakIt... seems like it was removed from the ASUS website? I found this one but not sure if that's legit. https://memtweakit.software.informer.com You can also try some of the ones here but I don't know if you need a particular motherboard for them to work.... https://community.hwbot.org/topic/209738-z690-bios-and-tools/ Otherwise just check in BIOS.
-
@NUSURIAaditionaly you can run something like Cinebench R15 or R23 and compare with others. Memory has little impact on Cinebench scores so if your score is quite a bit lower it's most likely CPU underperforming either due to power constraints or temperature.
-
Get ASUS MemTweakIt and post a screenshot. I don't have much experience with Intel memory overclocking but most of the timings should behave simillarily to Ryzen so I may at least be able to see if some of the timings are completely out of whack and causing issues with performance.
-
Looks like both your CPU and GPU are slightly underperforming. GPU clocks seems to behave fine so it's possible your DRAM is either tuned wrong or runs very slow which would in turn mainly affect your CPU perf.

can you please post a screenshot instead of us having to download and open a file?

My last experience with NVIDIA on Linux is like 4-6y ago so I can't really comment on that. But I remember it was a pain back then. And the biggest issue is to actually get to the desktop without the driver rather than install it. If you are already versed in Linux it may not be a hurdle but if you're a new user you'll be left clueless.

Seems like good old restart of PC worked for whatever reason... I couldn't restart sooner because I was still doing some stuff and I honestly did not thought it would really help
-
I have that enabled btw Are you from neigbouring country?
-
No, I'm good on SSDs I simply just want to use web apps more when possible.
-
I have the same build but I'm on just 22H2 and Windows claims it's the newest...

I've been trying to get it to load for the past 40min and the farthest I've got is to enter login info and now I'm stuck at this

TM5 generaly finds errors significantly faster with a good config. I was just doing memory overclocking for the past 3-4 weeks on my main PC and for example the paid RAM Test from Karhu passed 12000% in over 12h without an error and TM5 found error within first 10minutes. The system is basically unusable while this runs as it will almost max out your RAM to 100% and it may crash due to running out of memory if you interact with the PC. Regarding Core Cycler it's possible your CPU may encounter instability when hitting the max boost clocks. Core Cycler will let individual cores boost to it's maximum clocks briefly and cycle between them to test the stability of max frequencies. If you''ll use your PC while this is running it wont let the cores boost properly.

Did a fresh install of W11 Pro today. Updated to the latest version. Apparently I'm still unable to uninstall Edge or Copilot despite being in EU and I have set everything for Slovakia.
Is the update not rolled out everywhere yet or do I need to do something to get it to uninstall?
-
How much have you tested with Memtest? Try TM5 with 1usmus_v3 profile and let it complete at least 25 passes without error. You'll have to probably edid the config file to change the max pass count. Also try Core Cycler and let it run for at least two hours. (don't interact with PC when any of those are running)

Is anyone using Discord web app?
Is it always this incredibly slow to load and sluggish?
I was thinking to stick to using web apps instead of installing most of the SW but I feel like I'm being crippled with DIscord on purpose.

Not sure what would cause that as it seems to work fine in Vivaldi here. Maybe try refreshing the cache "CTRL+F5" or checking Network and Console under the Developer Tools (F12) to see what it's hanging on.
