  1. Thank you both for the confirmation. I had a feeling it would be fine but was just a little cautious as it wasn't on the QVL list.
  2. Hi there, I would like to buy the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD 2TB and put on the fastest (blazing) m.2 slot of a ASRock X670E PG Lightning ATX AM5 Motherboard. However on the motherboards QVL list for storage it doesn't list the 2TB version of the Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0, only the 1TB version. Does this mean the 2TB version of the drive won't work at all since it's not on the QVL list or does it just mean it hasn't been tested officially by the motherboard OEM? If the latter is true then does anyone have any experience with pairing together a Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD 2TB and a ASRock X670E PG Lightning ATX AM5 Motherboard or similar ASRock board in the fastest blazing m.2 slot? I'm also welcome for suggestions for alternative 2TB PCIe 4.0 drives if the Samsung 2TB won't work. Thanks.
  3. Hi there, I indeed bought a splitter as you suggested and it works perfectly. Thanks.
  4. I like to switch my Xbox One X from my bigger TV for watching films to my 144htz 2k monitor for gaming. However the Xbox One X only has one HDMI out port, so I have to manually put in either the TV or monitor HDMI cable into the Xbox One X which is annoying. To solve this I think I need a HDMI switch that can manage 4k 60hz or with a bandwidth of at least 12.54 Gbit/s. I should also note that I’ll never have the TV and the monitor on at the same time, it’s one or the other, one of them will be switched off completely. However nearly all of the HDMI switches I’ve seen have a button toggle which is not what I’m after. Ideally I’d want a switch / box that just works for whatever device (TV or monitor) is currently in use. Like if my TV is on it just detects that there is a single HDMI input and vice versa for the monitor. I’m not even sure if a HDMI switch is what I even need. I just need a box / cable that has 1 HDMI in that the Xbox HDMI out plugs into and 2 HDMI outs that the TV and monitor HDMI’s plug into. Essentially I’m trying to simulate the Xbox having two HDMI outs if that makes sense. Does such a product exist, or is the only way with a button toggle HDMI switch? Any advice would be helpful thanks.
  5. Thank you for your answer that has given me a bit more insight. That website you linked is very interesting, it does seem like it's a Oxygen OS issue then. I'll do a bit of further investigation now I know about this website. Also, I would update to OxygenOS 10 but I don't think OnePlus has released it yet for my 5T, so I'm not sure If I could. Any ideas?
  6. I should preface this by saying this is a long post that has a lot of screenshots. For months possibly a year, I’ve been having an issue with certain apps where notifications either do not appear at all or are very delayed on the lock screen. Sometimes they do appear without delay, but it's very inconsistent. The delay can be anywhere from 20 min to 2 hours Often times when notifications don’t appear on the lock screen they appear as soon as I unlock the phone or open the app. The apps in question are Twitch TV and Discord. However WhatsApp and my Text message notifications never have any problems, I always see them on time and they wake up the lock screen. My phone is a One Plus 5T that runs the stock One Plus android OS. I should also note that I only use Wi-Fi and not mobile data such as 4G. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I’ve tried: There are a number of things I’ve tried which I will list here. Twitch in app mobile notifications: Ensured that when a streamer goes live I get notifications Ensured push notifications are enabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twitch app phone settings: Battery usage → Background restriction = disabled Battery usage → Battery optimisation = not optimised App data usage → Background data = enabled App data usage → Unrestricted data usage = enabled Notifications → Show notifications = everything enabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Battery Phone Settings: Battery optimisation → Advanced → Deep optimisation = disabled Battery optimisation → Advanced → Sleep standby optimisation = disabled Battery → Adaptive battery = off -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other phone settings: Ambient display → New notifications = enabled Notifications → On lock screen = enabled System → Recent app management = normal clear Developer options → Standby apps = Twitch ACTIVE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google Services Framework phone settings: Battery usage → Background restriction = disabled Battery usage → Battery optimisation = no way to not optimise Notifications → Show notifications = everything enabled App Permissions → Read instant messages = enabled App Permissions → Write instant messages = enabled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Misc: Locked twitch app to always run in the background (courtesy of this post) Installed push notifications fixer app Tried to find a setting for each app that’s not on my phone (I think you need a later one plus model for these settings), courtesy of this post. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: None of the things I’ve tried have made any difference so far. I have no idea if it’s the apps, android or a one plus specific issue. If it’s a one plus specific issue I might be able to root the phone and install a custom ROM but that is an absolute last resort. A lot of people say OnePlus phones have overly aggressive memory mananagement, so that could be a factor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  7. Hi there, A while back I bought 2 AORUS AD27QD monitors but there are two issues i'm having with them. I like to run both monitors at the native resoloution of 2560 x 1440 at 120htz with Freesync and 10 bit colour. The first issue is that sometimes one or both of my monitors will be forced into 8 bpc colour depth, when I’ve set both to be 10 bpc. When it changes itself to 8 bpc things on my screen become fuzzy. Sometimes a restart fixes the issue and it goes back to being 10 bc with the fuzziness going away. Other times I have to restart like 10 times before it fixes itself. The next issue is that one or both of my monitors just turn themselves off for no reason. I have no idea why these issues are happening. could it be the GPU, Windows or the monitors themselves? Could it be because these older monitors are only on display port 1.2 and lack the bandwidth to run 10 bpc, with 120hz and Freesync enabled? Below is a screenshot of how my settings should be in the Nvidia control panel. When the bpc option says 8 bpc things like text and icons become fuzzy. I'm hoping someone could help me resolve this. It's impossible to tell if it's the GPU, Windows or the monitors themselves. Thanks.
  8. I see, I could try that. Thank you for the suggestion. If only the Xbox One just had a 3.5mm audio out port, it would make life so much easier.
  9. Yeah it seems to be the DAC. I did your test by unplugging the toslink cable from the DAC and the sound persists, so it must be the DAC. Could this be because it's a cheap DAC?
  10. One i didn't get one, and two it would be shit compared to my proper senhieser headphones. Plus I doubt an xbox headset would even plug into my PC.
  11. I recently bought one of these DAC’s so I can have sound coming from my Xbox One X Toslink port to my line-in port on my PC, and finally to my headset plugged into my PC. So it goes like this: Xbox One X → Toslink cable → DAC → 3.5mm cable → PC line-in → PC line-out → Headphones. The sound works fine but there is a problem. When I turn my Xbox off and it’s just on standby power, there is a loud screeching / popping sound, coming through my headset, as there must be some signal / interference coming from the Xbox or DAC. If I turn the Xbox on or turn the power plug off the sound goes away, it’s only occurs if the Xbox is in standby power. Is this the fault of the DAC? As it was a pretty cheap one. Or it could it be something else? Thanks.
  12. Okay thanks for checking, on mine you can hear the whine / buzz far away, but as you get closer to to the top right it gets louder.
  13. Just to ask, even if you put you ears close to the top right of your Masterkeys Pro S can you still not hear any coil whine or high pitched electrical noise?
  14. I recently bought this keyboard from: https://www.scan.co.uk/, however after a few days I've noticed that there appears to be coil whine eminating from the top right of the keyboard. Exactly the same as described here in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5pwxz6/my_new_cooler_master_masterkeys_pro_s_has_coil/ I've tried using a different USB-C cable, trying diferent USB ports, disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard, restarting the PC, disabling all LED's and even trying other computers. However none of this stops the coil whine. Note that I have not installed any of the software I have purely used the built in on board memory profiles for lighting. Does this sound normal, or should this not be happening on a keyboard? The only place I expect sopme coil whine is on power supplies and GPU's.
