Mo5

what about swapping drives around (putting the one from mobo to the adapter)?

have you tried it in different pci-e slots? I feel like there's something that goes wrong when data goes between the cpu pci-e lanes and chipset pci-e lanes but somehow only in one way. could be some bios setting that affects these things too but i can't think of anything on the top of my head.

It's funny how Canon is only protecting the RF mount like this as it shows it clearly doesn't care about the EF-M mount and wants it to quietly and quickly go away.

technically when reducing volume it's better to do it as close to the output as possible to have the strongest signal-to-noise possible so doing it at the amp would actually be preferrable. opposite is true when you're boosting the signal - better to do it as close as possible to the source. but when the setup is as simple as this it shouldn't make too much of a difference.

just don't turn the volume up too much which you shouldn't do anyway to protect your hearing

People who never had WP don't know how good WP actually was.

2. if that's how you want to spend your time go ahead i guess 3. funny because it's probably true 4. what are the odds the rpm speed signal wire is broken... probably close to none but considering the other fan works might be worth checking out. or just ignoring the error 5. just because it overclocked good doesn't mean it's actually a good cpu overall 6. yes. 7. literally can't see the cable but if you say you did then it must be true

1. That's an OEM HP board (MS-7778) that they've designed to take Intel coolers on AMD socket... love when companies engineer weird stuff like that 2. How did you get W11 to install on it? Did you seriously went through all the effort of editing registry just to get it to work. 3. I like the case... it's probably worth more than everything else in the pc 4. Please change that back case fan to something larger 5. That APU was considered to be pretty average if not slow even when it was new. That was 10 years ago. 6. Changing to those side SATA ports would probably make it look a bit tidier 7. I think you didn't plug in the 4 pin EPS power connector that's next to the cpu socket/where you plugged in the back fan (if i'm looking at the right mobo pic) Overall, I give this a solid 4/10 - you're focusing on the wrong things if at all

what you described sounds normal to me tbh. noise levels really depends on the cooler itself and the fan curve profile but 70c sounds fine. now if the fan needs to run at 100% or some insane high speed to keep it like that then you probably need to replace the thermal paste on the gpu.

even if it would somehow provide more cooling (let's entertain that idea) it definitely wouldn't be worth the added noise those tiny, whiny fans add

double check with a few other programs to see if the temps match up... HWMONITOR would probably be a good start

I'm not sure if 5000 series still does this but back in the og ryzen days the temps reported weren't actually accurate (source: https://www.eteknix.com/amd-ryzen-temperature-reporting-is-wrong/)

Broadcom is in my experience always a pain to setup. Sometime you need a different driver (b43 or broadcom-wl - some more info here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Broadcom_wireless) and sometimes it doesn't like having secure boot on. Usually you need to go wired to install driver.

I'm going to suggest something different which is to get one of Canon's old full frame cameras (maybe 5D MkII or MkIII even) used and invest more in lenses than the camera body itself. The reason I say Canon is because they're usually the most plentiful on the used market and their old EF lenses adapt excellently on thec newer RF bodies once you upgade.

I have a pc with 2 SSDs (1TB and 500GB) and a 4TB HDD - currently dual booting Windows and Manjaro from said SSDs. I plan on moving Linux only (maybe have a cheeky Windows VM if i really bother) in the future but have /home on a separate drive. Anyone has suggestions if I should put the home directory on the 500 or 1tb ssd or just any tips on how to better parition 2 drives for linux.
