  1. https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PCIe-NAND-NVMe-3500MB I'm considering this one, but I have no good experience with crucial drives in the past so i'm skeptical.
  2. I'm looking for the best M.2 SSD I can find that for PCIE 3.0 4x with 4tb capacity. I've always just gone with Samsung drives, but they don't have any 4tb options. I don't want to lose out on performance compared to my current 970 Evo 2tb. Thank you!
  3. I am currently using 3 AOC CQ27G2 144hz 1440p 27" Gaming Monitors on my tipple monitor stand. Lately I've had almost no time to game, and I spend hours staring at these screens programming. I'd love to hear some suggestions for replacements that would be better suited to my use case, possibly including a monitor stand that is lighter. These stand, arms, and monitors are very heavy and have started to sag quite a bit. I'm running a 3080, and will be upgrading to a 4080 when/if they exist. Thanks!
  4. My current case is HUGE. It's way too big. It's a caselabs THX10A. I'm running a Gigabyte TRX AORUS XTREME motherboard And I want to downgrade to just 2 RTX 3090s. Currently I'm running 4 480mm rads, 2 d5s. I'm looking for the smallest case that would pack this config, with the most rad space. I do understand i'll be compromising a little. And when I say small form factor, I do understand it won't be tiny....but I want to see what my options are. The biggest trouble is this motherboard's slightly larger than standard E-ATX Size Thanks for the help!
  5. @Mel0nMan Okay so I think the issue is Samsung Magician. On the boots that don't result in a BSOD the app won't even start!
  6. I just realized, I have some fast mode enabled for my drive in Samsung. And I think after a BSOD, I remember a pop-up saying magician failed to start. I'll try disabling magician and see what happens
  7. The error usually says "Driver Power state failure" Every OTHER boot, after between 2 and 5 minuets a BSOD. Here are my dumpfiles: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArHstwOM3zZHgc3RW402HylWI-J51-I?e=UlIwgR This randomly started about a week ago - although I THINK the start of the issue was when my BIOS switched to some 2nd backup BIOS because the motherboard app prompted me to install a BIOS update, and all my bios settings were wiped, The version showed an older version of the BIOS prior to what it was when I updated it when I first got this motherboard, and my saved bios presets were different....weird. I can tell when it switches between the two because the original BIOS instance has a problem were on forced reset (so blue screen, or power loss) it wipes my fan curve settings - whereas the version that I think may be linked to the power state failure BSODs doesn't have the fun curve problem. I did have occasional BSODS prior to a week ago, so I'm not sure if this is the reason for the issues. However, the BSODs were rare. These are literally multiple times a day, every other I boot to windows. Windows 11 x64 Pro - Retail, fresh install 2 months 8 months old CPU: Threadripper 3990x GPU: 3x RTX 3090 Founders PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1500 T2 80+ Titanium Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus TRX40 XTREME Rev 1.0 - LATEST BIOS VERSION I can't seem to get perfmon to work. It's been looking like this for 10 minuets:
  8. I used to to this, until I realized that carrier phones with the carrier OS worked significantly better in terms of call quality and cell service in the USA. I switched to T-Mobile, and they offered a 50% discount on my phone with a two year contract. Because of this, I came out cheaper than had I bought the phone myself... Next, I paid off the phone in the first month. As a result, I actually was able to manually unlock the phone. Sure, my service is still in a two year contract - but I was able to get all the benefits of an unlocked phone with the benefits of being carrier locked. Best experience i've ever had with a carrier. My bill, including my phone is like $33/mo/person with their Magenta Max plan. That's the most expensive, unlimited plan. $33/mo inluding the cost of the phone for unlimited? That's cheaper than most 10gb plans not including a phone.
  9. I'm confused. The unlocked vs locked ROM should be the same if within the same country. You must have not explained something well.
  10. While this makes alot of sense. I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile in the US. They gave me a 50% discount on the phone for signing a two year long contract with them that, after two years, will actually come out to being 50% of what AT&T was costing me for a less comparable cell plan + buying my phone outright. Additionally, T-Mobile's ROM that came on my locked Oneplus 9 from them got considerably better cell coverage and call quality. I think there is huge value in buying a phone that the the carrier at least supports on their network. AT&T Never sold or supported OnePlus phones. And, using the carriers rom can improve things further by optimizing for the frequencies of their cell towers. That is a huge reason there are different roms for the same phone across different regions.
  11. There are also situations, like with Oneplus 6s, were it was possible to install a custom rom, with root, with a locked bootloader because OxygenOS contained a rom flashing utility designed for OTAs.
  12. That has nothing to do with unlocked vs locked. The reason they are taking so long is because they have to build a custom version of the OS for each language, political region (europe has different laws than the us, for exmaple), and of course lastly cell tour frequencies. They are going to perform these updates in order of populations effected. So, they will start with the regions with the most people, and work their way down to the least. Switzerland probably isn't too high on that list. US, EU, India for example all very likely have significantly more users of this particular phone compared to your country. Additionally, you may find that carrier phone running the carrier specific OS gets significantly better cell coverage and call quality.
  13. Well, i'm not sure that is the case - however if it is, since manufactures are downloading android source code they have access to change those things. Technically speaking, the manufacturer has root access. They are the ones that limit you to non root access. Not Google directly.,
  14. I think there are two major values in carrier customization. 1. Competitive, desirable features that don't create new problems for the user 2. Hardware specific optimizations such as support for specific cell-tower frequencies. I think is one huge, easily fixable downfall that Google has been working on: 1. Extremely slow security updates. These security updates should be decoupled from the OS as best as possible. Although this can be difficult to implement. We know carriers cannot be relied on for pushing these updates The biggest problem with carrier customization, including google's pixel: 1. Lack of customization for the users specific desires. This isn't event across different carriers. For example, recently my Oneplus 9 updated to Android 12. The update has absoloutely harmed my android experience significantly. Many features have been removed....many of which are changes to the base AOSP. I personally believe that the UI, the base OS, and the phone-sms subsystem should all be completely isolated componets. And a feature once implemented, should never ever be removed. And the user should be given the choice to choose their phones function and appearence. For example: Why do I have to own a pixel to use Google Camera when it works perfectly fine on any other device? Why do I have to buy a OnePlus phone to take advantage of their software specific touch gestures and always on display?
