How well does it do in actual workloads? There is no way a NH-D15 or any other tower cooler today will be enough if you fully load up the processor without dropping clocks. Intel rates the typical max TDP at 253 W. The actual number is quite a bit higher, almost double that actually. Check your results in games etc. Maybe you want to consider cooling it with water instead (360 mm +, preferably open loop).

1080ti Hybrid Won't Power On After Cleaning
Applefreak replied to A Delicious Man's topic in Troubleshooting
Did you just disconnect the fan or has it been disconnected while testing it? There is a chance the card may not want to boot up it a component is missing or defective. I'd ask EVGA directly for guidance on this issue. Btw. JB weld or any other type of epoxy does not mend broken channels inside a radiator. It can be a quick short term solution when you are stranded in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road. The proper way would be to either replace the radiator or weld or solder them shut. Epoxy needs several days to fully cure and even then there is still a chance with the glycol it will break loose and clog the pump. -
Your HDD might be bad. I've had the same issue, replacing it is quite difficult. A solution would be to boot your system off an external SSD (I use a 3.5" external case for a 2.5" SSD because it has it's own wall adapter, the USB port on those older MACs are a bit limited when it comes to power delivery).

Modern PSUs like that will be able to do both voltages, older one had a tiny red sliding switch at the back. The only thing you need to look out for is to use the right plug type for your wall outlet. Both units you have selected will handle 110-240V just fine.

Not Booting to bios Ryzen 5 5600 and Aorus b550 Elite v2
Applefreak replied to Pai9's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Clear CMOS after updating the BIOS. If the 3600 works just fine, the 5600 may be bad. -
The only kits supported on that board with 128 GB (4x32) are from Kingston @ 5200 MHz CL40, which is not an ideal choice in terms of speed and latency with your processor. It may still work but it hasn't been tested for. Question is if you can even make use of the extra memory at all.

Depends on your platform and how many DIMMS. Many boards won't be stable at 128 GB with more than 2 DIMMs at full XMP / EXPO speed.

Disable sudo-password
Applefreak replied to stefanmz's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Just change the password. You could remove admin rights but that will either lock you out completely or destroy the install. Either way you are better off by either disabling SSH, changing passwords or have only certain MAC addresses allowed to access the machine. -
Usually the old key is linked to your MS account so you cannot transfer it over to a different user. However you can buy working keys for far less than that.

Good news first, 85C on 13th gen Intel is fine for some reason. They do run quite hot by design. You can lower clocks and limit boost if your board has those options, also power limit the CPU. You will loose some fps but lower temps significantly enough. Other then that, a 280 mm AIO or better would be the next step. With modern AIOs there is very little risk of leaking. I have had several of the older models and none of them leaked, even after several years. It can happen but usually they either leak right away or not at all. You can test it outside the case before replacing your current heatsink, that also ensures the pump isn't rattling.

Is 6-pin fan connector compatible with 4-pin PWM fan?
Applefreak replied to SecretX's topic in Cooling
Those are RGB controllers not fan controllers, well they are but for RGB only, no power delivery. -
Camera doesn't work on PC but it does on laptop
Applefreak replied to Chrasher54's topic in Peripherals
Have you tried diffeerent USB ports on your PC? How old ist that PC? The cam seems to only powered by USB, which is fine but it states that it needs USB 3.0 which is confusing as there are different specs in terms of data bandwith but more importantly power delivery. A basic USB 3.0 port may provide about 980 mA while others may offer substantially more. If you have one, you can try with a powered USB hub inbetween to provide extra power to the USB port. What PC or motherboard do you have? -
Can cheap USB C cables damage the phone?
Applefreak replied to 220VoltsallCore's topic in Peripherals
Please buy higher end ones. There is little risk in damaging the phone but I've used cheap cables in a pinch and kink them once by accident and they only charge at abysmal rates, not that they were up to spec before. Please spend the extra 2 to 6 $ on premium cables. As @Kisai said, make sure to get power delivery cables, your phone doesn't need them but they provide better and more stable power delivery for fast charging, even when the connector on the phone gets warm. I mostly use Anker cables, because I can get them fairly quick on amazon and they do last me quite a while. -

What is the most powerful GPU that Ryzen 2700X won't bottleneck?
Applefreak replied to SandyBay's topic in Graphics Cards
I believe your question is: What is the GPU to match my Ryzen 7 2700X processor? Why the AM5 upgrade, you can still upgrade on AM4 just fine and save a lot of money.
