I upgraded from 400 mbps to 900 and a i5 4690 to 7800X3D around the same time, but still - Steam etc downloads don't use that much CPU... odd

It sits around 900mb/s but that never bothered it before!

Hi all, I'm running a 7800X3D with a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black. I've recently repasted it (thought it wasn't set properly, turns out it was an effect of Adblocks' recent bug that threw me off...) and it was purring fine at mid 30C idle. I let Blizzard download an update and boom, temperatures sky rocketed to 81C, despite no backgrounds tasks running. Battle.net launcher was using 56% of my CPU utilisation. During gaming sessions, I do not get spikes that high. Any tips on what it could be? It happens exclusively when downloading/installing updates. I have 4 M.2 SSDs of varying sizes, running Windows 11, fan curves set to performance on the NZXT board. All fans are Be Quiet! Light wings x2 120 and x2 140mm, CPU fans are Noctua default 140mm and 1 basement fan NZXT included fan with H5 Flow. GPU temperatures are unaffected (RTX 2070), and with an upgrade coming soon I want to sort out CPU temps before it gets extra hot in there!

Make a copy of your license key though if you can!

I believe the 'crowd' wished to know why the employee was let go, not the person. It is convinient that one side of the party cannot disclose legally why someone was let go, they cannot defend their side from it. And before I get 'corrected' I am not saying that anyone is wrong, but you can't avoid bias if you only have one side of a story. We may only ever hear one side, and that is not a fair state to be in, no matter the scenario. Wrong or right, I find it peculiar that the entire world seems to be dumping on Linus in particular at the moment. And if we are concerned about one induviduals mental health, why are aren't we concerned about anothers? Allow him to correct his business. We are all obviously (according to comments all over the internet) expecting him to continue to be Linus; we can expect better, but we don't need to burn him at the stake for it. As for GN, they've definately profited from this debacle. I was a massive fan, particularly impressed with their coverage of the 7800X3D issues recently. And if it wasn't got GN, we wouldn't think twice about the issues on LTT. God forbid GN makes a mistake in the future. But just how GN went about the reporting of this (as necessary as it was) hasn't sat right with me for the last 24 hours, depite obviously being a million times removed from the entire ordeal. When GN (or any of the great community guys) call out Intel or whoever, why does the internet not fall over denying them their fantastic profits etc? But because it's Linus, we can poop on his door mat all day. Who gives crap, right? Just doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks all - I’m going to have some self debate about a Ryzen 9 7900X (still not what I want even if it is technically better) and see how it plays out over the next month. Very frustrating, but no doubt worth the wait….!

Hi all - I’m about to pull the trigger on a 7800X3D to replace my 4th gen i5, but now I’m hearing it doing all sorts of fun things to motherboards. I can’t find a straight answer to which motherboards are affected - is it limited to ASUS boards? I was going to pair it with a B650 NZXT BOARD but don’t want to think I’m playing my cards right when the issue is universal. I know Gamers Nexus and Jayztwocents have long long videos on it but I haven’t had an hour to set aside to watch them all with the level of attention I’d want before making a decision. My alternative is, at today’s prices, a 7900X but the power draw is what is tempting me to a 7800X3D. If this has been posted somewhere else please link me to it, I did have a quick skirmish. Cheers all!

Hello all, I'm interested in replacing my Logitech G910 keyboard after nearly 7 years. I got it for 50% off in a sale (£75) and haven't looked back, but now the keys are starting to double tapping (or whatever the phrase is). I've want wireless with USB-C as I can charge my other peripherals when it's not plugged in, and ideally RGB backlighting as that's just what I like. I can't bring myself to spend £200 on the G915, although I am considering the TKL (£159). I don't really want something I have to faff around with and use software etc, I prefer just plug and play. I've tried Corsair and didn't really like them. I like linear switches. I am curious to the communities experience with Ducky or Keychron, or other manufacturers? Thanks in advance

Xbox 360 S (Office, screen 1) Xbox One X (Office, screen 2) Xbox Series X (Living Room, used as better half's DVD player ) PS4 (Finished Spiderman, haven't plugged in since) Nintendo Switch (It's portable....) Nintendo 3DS XL (Drawer somewhere)

I bought the previous gen LG OLED series (2019 B9 series as I couldn't see a difference in the shop/spec sheet for the price), 55" TV. I got it for £200 off in a sale just before the 2020 versions were announced at CES this year and the only thing I regret about it is not getting a 65" version. Don't do what a friend of mine did and get an expensive fancy TV only for it to have no HDMI 2.1 ports. And use the correct HDMI cable!

Executive Summary: LuckyBoy Malvertising campaign has penetrated 10 Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) (where platform publishers sell advertising space), mostly in Europe but with confirmed cases in the US and Canada. Security vendor Media Trust has said that the malware checks for the presence of blockers, testing environments (such as being loaded onto a virtual machine) and active debuggers, and will not execute if found. The users behind LuckyBoy are being exceptionally careful at being caught for this type of Malvertising, indicating a well versed team in this type of campaign. It is not uncommon for Android applications to have bad adverts embedded in that have been applied once Google's automatic application vetting process has given the greenlight, however they have made significant progress in the last year removing applications (normally based on a paid alternative with similar functions, or simply fake apps designed to look legitmate) that break their rules. It is not insignificant in the threat landscape that an attacker like this tries to hide from detection, and even more impressive that they are hiding from non-desired targets. Whether or not it is removed from a non-target system remains to be seen. Closing thoughts Notable in this case is the sophisticated use of tracking pixels1. This could be an attempt to decide who a target of interest may be, before executing the payload - who this could apply to remains to be seen. It will be interesting to see who the targets are, and how their evasion techniques adjust to ensure low detection probabillities within systems. There is also very little users can do to combat the malvertising, as the publisher will apply the advertising to those that their data shows it is relevant to, possibly limited the targets available in some way. I expect affected devices will require patching however it should be on the penetrated DSP provider to resolve any issues.

I use TP Link Deco M4. The speed is normally at 80% of what I pay the ISP, during the day when all our phones and gadgets are online (around 160 Mbps).

I installed 3 mesh WiFi devices once we realised working from home was going to be semi-permanant, and they have yet to fail on me after nearly a year in use. I used one of the LTT videos to help me decide what route to go for, helped immensley although from memory I don't think I used the models they used. My desktop and the other half's laptop are wired via switch into one device, and the other two are in the living room and the hallway - I only needed 2 really but 3 was cheaper. 1 feeds directly off the ISP's device, and the other 2 feed off that, and I was not required to switch into bridge mode on my ISP device, I have not had any negatives by having it on. They weren't cheap and there are probably better solutions, but from my perspective there wasn't a better solution except re-cabling which I couldn't be bothered to do!

I hope these translate to respectable prices for the UK market and not 1:1... Cute little thing isn't it!

I have tested and it all worked - I even re-did them all regardless, still no luck. I unplugged the cables from another room and BOOM it worked... which is fine as I don't need the Cat5 in the second bedroom but I will need to install a mesh system at some point but I'll cross that bridge later.
