If he was stopping them from turning temporarily with his fingers for example, NOT when they are running... then I don't see a problem with it, but as others have said, just unplugging them is a) safer for him and the fans b) doesn't waste energy, or duct tape for that matter c) isn't idiotic. I literally just noticed about an hour ago, that I accidentally reversed a fans direction when installing it into the case a few weeks back My excuse though is that I was very tired and had just come back from hospital, so wasn't feeling the best mentally. Still funny though. It's not really making a big difference, I'll just change it round next time I turn off the PC.

Wow, good deal... certainly offsets the cost of the expensive motherboards with this deal. -
Make backups of your data whilst it's working. I really cringe when I see people say stuff like "help, my whole life is on there", if it's important data, always back it up.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08XM1ZJQ8?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=pepperugc03-21&ascsubtag=2371755182 £129 if you buy it today before stock is gone... also might be able to pay 25.80 a month for 5 months if they offer it to you.

When you mention "backup to NAS", is that an image of your PC, or all relevant files? if relevant files, I would and Do it much more often, like daily. But for me that means any new files I've gotten from nzb etc for example, these are backed up to my NAS daily, and my NAS gets backed up weekly to my backup server and Rpi. My Rpi is basically OMV and running things like plex server, and a few other things, so that my main pc only has to be on when I am actively using it, saving me electricity. It also mean my PC can be much more streamlined. I am in the process of upgrading my PC to 11400f right now, and only gonna run essential software on it, everything else can be either run on the pi 24/7, or used on one of my other laptops/pcs if it's being tested first for example.

Well I finally decided I should upgrade my all of the things machine(6700K), that will now be my webs and nzb ingest machine running 11400f and z590
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NZyH8r yeah I know I didn't need the Z590 with a non-OC CPU, but this board had features that were hard to come by on b560 etc or if they did, they had other constraints. Plus I may decide to upgrade the CPU at some point, while I got the 11400f OEM CPU for just £99, which kept the overall upgrade costs down enough that I could easily afford the mobo I wanted.
I may keep it as my jellyfin media server too, but haven't decided yet as I also have a RPi plex server that's on 24/7. So this new machine can be turned off and on at will instead of draining my electricity unnecessarily... especially with how much that has increased, it's almost 3x the cost it was now.
-
Right click, select "shrink volume", pop up will give you info on how much "max"you could shrink it by etc
-
In that case I'd say you're fine and wouldn't worry about it. I take it you ran some stress tests and such? if so then yeah it should be OK and would just ignore the glitch and it should be fixed after a few windows updates maybe.
-
What about HWINFO64, can you try that and see if it's still reporting wrong clockspeeds?
-
What do you want to do on it? that might give us some scope for trying to help. Eg running dockers. I personally am using an Rpi 2GB with armbian and OMV.... It runs really well, I am using a 5TB USB 3.0 drive for storage, and running the OS on microSD (OMV has some settings for not blasting the flash cards and killing them). Have got plex and a few NZB dockers running on there, and trying others on there too... I'm impressed with how well everything runs on there. I am waiting for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to come back in stock, or newer model if stock continues to be a problem for longer than I hope. Here's my dashboard of OMV, it's idle at the moment as I am not actively using plex or anything, but the dockers are still running and ready. I'm using just over half of the memory, and using dockers for what I need is a great way of keeping that memory usage down.

Self Checkout Shoplifter gets 5-10 years for "hacking"
paddy-stone replied to wanderingfool2's topic in Tech News
I don't agree with what the woman did, but that's ridiculous to charge her with hacking. By their logic, if a store is displaying an item with the wrong price on it, they should be charged with fraud. -
No internet after getting New Motherboard
paddy-stone replied to SolariusGaming's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
2 ways you can fix this. move the pc near to an ethernet port, and download the drivers for wifi.... don't forget to download other drivers you may need at the same time from the motherboard manufacturer's website. Download the drivers for the pc onto a usb drive and install the drivers... don't forget to download other drivers you may need at the same time from the motherboard manufacturer's website. -
yep, makes sense, been saying most of those for a looong time. I will say though that I did used to go to the beach a lot when I was younger, probably more so because of the fact I live like 1 mile from the beach though I really don't like just lying there at the beach though, never have... but love swimming, playing games and other actual activities though. I haven't been to the beach, other than to walk the dogs, for about 20 years now.

For remote desktop into my linux mint, I have been using windows remote desktop on the client side, and sudo apt install xrdp xorgxrdp -y echo env -u SESSION_MANAGER -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS cinnamon-session>~/.xsession on the server side. It's not brilliant, can be a little glitchy occasionally. But I use SSH for most important stuff, I have to make myself cheat sheets of cli mostly as my disability makes it hard to remember stuff. Hope that helps.

go into uefi/bios and have a look at the fan curve and what they're assigned to.
-
Ahh shit, just realized that I made a big mistake on OMV... I moved some disks over from a freenas build, but then wiped them as I thought I HAD to, then after enabling zfs and going into the disk options saw that I could have imported the array
That;ll teach me to look before assuming something I guess next time. Now I have to copy all the data over again.

Adflix - Netlifx to add comercials to subscriptions
paddy-stone replied to Arika's topic in Tech News
Should rename to Notflix I seriously don't get how some companies think they are the god's testicles, and can do whatever they want and still retain customers. To me the customer would always come first, seeing as they are the ones parting with their cash for whatever your company is offering. They should instead look at how much managers are making that are driving the train off the tracks.. salaries should be commensurate with how well the company is doing. Not pay the managers big bucks and then go "oh no, we;re not making enough money, let's put the prices up again so that next year the CEO can pay for his mistress to have that new house in the Cayman islands, so she can dive into all the gold like scrooge mcduck" -
Do you have a NAS, or an accessible share on your pc will do... then use a file manager like fx/fe file explorer to copy to that share,
-
Go to the onboard settings, then there's a button that says [restore defaults]
-
reset CMOS. must have been a pre-owned board I guess. Turn off PSU, press and hold start button to discharge capacitors. Open up PC and remove the BIOS battery, wait 10 seconds and then re-insert, and turn pc on....this resets the CMOS and should enter BIOS setup when you reboot. Make sure you don't re-enable fast boot in the settings or it will happen again.
-
Here, download BIOS https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550-A-PRO/support
-
Use the flash bios button on the rear IO, don't need to put old CPU back!
-
Ahh OK, so you had a new board sitting around for 3 years. I can't understand why anyone would do that, but each to their own.
-
What did you have in that board previously then? can't you swap that CPU back in and update the BIOS?
-
Yeah, that's bad.. I totally agree with you there. A tech company should know better than to suggest dual channel is the same. Well, I wish you luck with it. I really hope you get what you should, which is a replacement/refund if they can't repair... it's not your fault that they aren't playing nice with customs. Please update this as and when something shifts, I don't like a story not having an ending... and hopefully a happy one in this case.
