JamesBurgundy reacted to genexis_x in 10 C temperature difference between cores
Will dry out fast in laptops due to low heatsink mounting pressure. I would suggest Gelid GC Extreme

Asus laptops have shit stock paste so what do you expect. Moreover FX553 is very mediocre

RMA it. Most likely faulty GPU.

I would say it is the 1080s fault. perhaps faulty ram. That usually shows this kind of behaviors.

JamesBurgundy reacted to W-L in Can an ungrounded outlet damage a PC and is there any way to fix it?
It's less of a worry to the PC as a safety hazard as it can potentially build up a a dangerous amount of charge which can shock you if you were to touch the case. It's more of safety than anything else as mentioned a UPS will not help as it needs a ground pin, your best option would be to have someone come in a see if they can properly install a ground or remedy the issue of the lack of grounding in the whole home.

As said in that post you don't want to reverse polarity cause sometimes it can cause some dangers at times with contacting potentially the hot side of the circuit a good example of this is in an edison light bulb where the metal screw portion would be live and can shock you.

Yeah true, I was speaking in terms of functionality to the hardware. Then it makes no difference (apart from the on/off switch), as it's AC and the "polarity" is constantly switching anyway.
As a safety hazard, with only the N being grounded, it's ofcourse important. Which also answers my earlier question why there is a L and an N

Oh so you mean it's a single-pole switch? Ah yes, that would make sense. Only the N is grounded. It also means this is considered "safe", as with the live wire you become the ground

JamesBurgundy reacted to HKZeroFive in Is 290W OEM PSU enough for a 1050Ti?
Assuming it doesn't have propriety cables, I'd say it'd work just fine.

It's a Delta power supply so it should be good quality-wise. Even though the 1400X isn't even out, I'm willing to bet that power supply could run it with a GTX 1050Ti quite comfortably.

you could get a kill-a-watt gizmo and measure the power draw at the wall
the PSU should be enough

GTA V for PC has been one of the most highly anticipated PC releases of the past few years... How does it perform now that it's here?
