what im looking for doesnt have to be name brand. Also the reason why im looking for a backpack designed for cameras in mind is because i want to be able to reach a lens or two at ease without having to necessarily take the bag off every time to reach in and dig around for gear. I am open to your suggestion, Can you provide me wit ha link to the small bag you use? can it hold a camera body + two lenses?

56C on CPU and 76c on GPU ....by todays standards your laptop is running ice cold, i dont see any issues

Looking for suggestions for anything relatively clean/minimal under $100 CAD Currently looking at the Evecase Shell but i dont like that the DSLR section is facing behind me, paranoid at how easy it would be for someone to open the bag and take my precious A7iii im just a little overwhlemed at the options right now, need to take a rest or im going to go mad, i would prefer suggestions on bags that you have personally used - but im still open to suggestions Thanks in advance (ps yes i know its a mirrorless...and not a dslr)

no one can answer this for you until actual benchmarks get released and validated....

ive had similar issues - needs troubleshooting 1. it can either be bad cables 2. gpu issues /driver issues 3. bad monitor

usually the windows 10 key is tied to the system OR you can sign in to your windows 10 pc with a microsoft account and link the CD key to your account. that way you can activate it once you do a fresh reinstall of windows 10 OR consider spending another $20 and get a fresh new Win 10 Pro key from SCDKEY.com like i did i have personally use all 3 options listed above with no issues

did the SSD come with a software key for any data migration software?

sounds like your i5-7400 is more than enough for your needs tbh if you dont already have an SSD that should be your first upgrade

CPU speeds will always fluctuate based on the background tasks. - its perfectly normal

doesnt sound like you need more threads at all ex. if you had to decide between i5-8400 and i7-8700 - you should get the i5 8400 if anything you may want to just get an nvme ssd that will overall make everything much snappier and quicker or even memory with really tight timings like DDR4 2400mhz @ CL13

puget is awesome, but i dont know of any canadian equivilant with that said the biggest takeaway is the choice of parts and components that puget chooses. its literally off the shelf components that they have validated. the premium they charge is a little ridiculous. just build you own pc with the exact same components they use and i cant imagine you should have any critical issues

page 50, use the Q connector in the box

just upgrade CPU RAM and Motherboard pubg is highly dependant on a strong CPU, it will always struggle on old AMD parts

yes its more than enough what resolution will you be playing games at ? and what games?

yeah the arcticlean solvent i linked in the original post ended up doing 99% of the hard work for me, turned the hard thermal paste into liquid

i used the arcticlean product from amazon and it worked perfectly. the first bottle is the Thermal Material Remover and it does exactly what it says, it emulsified the hard thermal paste into liquid. all i had to do then was soak up the liquid with a paper tower, didnt even have to wipe or scrub it off.

My laptop is running warmer than i am comfortable with. I was able to remove and clean the CPU with ease + was able to clean the GPU die surface as well. HOWEVER - surrounding the GPU are very small resistors that im worried about breaking So i left the old paste around the core alone, and noticed my temps in general on the cpu dropped on idle, but both cpu and gpu run 2-3 warmer under the same stress now. Now im worried that the old paste i left around the gpu core may be insulating the gpu and as a result is causing more heat to build up within the laptops small cooling system /heatpipes. Any suggestions on how to remove the old and hardened paste around the gpu core delicately? im considering picking this up but not sure what kind of DIY tools to use to avoid breaking the resistors https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0007TOR08/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A28VADU4WUGJ11&psc=1

before i make any suggestions can you clarify a few things, 1. what are you currently outputting your audio to? headphones? speakers? studio monitors? 2. what is the current issue with your audio? 3. are you using the audio ports on the back of the motherboard or the front of the pc case? if the onboard audio is not good enough for general use then you can buy any simple 2.1 sound card from brands like asus and creative.

OP please clarify are you trying to free up space? or just OCD like myself to get rid of unused folders? If you feel like there may be large files taking up space then install WINDIRSTAT, it will show you visually what is taking up the most space Other wise START > SHOW HIDDEN FOLDERS > ENABLE then C > USERS > YOUR USER ID > APPDATA > LOCAL and or ROAMING and start deleting folder from old game files that you dont need anymore. these never cause any issue though and hardly take up any space.

thats facinating can you explain more in your post. what psu is it? anything inherently wrong with it? what happens to your wifi when you turn it on - just interference?

open task manager...it will tell you exactly why

any of these chipset motherboards should work with that cpu B85 H81 H87 H97 Z87 Z97 just make sure you check the manufacturers product page to see if there is a bios that supports the 4690, most of them should work just fine out of the box

dont get the K variant, because then youre unable to overclock on your b150 mobo i meant specifically the non-K versions if you sell your i5 for 150, and buy a used i7 6700 for 200 (just for example....) it may be worth it

When youre playing games is your cpu usage maxed out while your gpu is NOT maxed out? then yes you would benefit from a better cpu if the games and application you use will benefit from more threads - consder upgrading to a i7 6700 ir i7 7700 - that way you dont have to upgrade the cpu AND mobo
