    Hey all, I recently got my hp WMR headset. Tried it out with the standard built in windows program and looked pretty cool. However, now I'm running into a problem. Whenever I use anything in steamvr, all I get is a black screen with a white dot at the center. The weird thing, is that if I choose the "display"mirror" option it seems to work perfectly, for example in Pcars2 I can see myself sitting in the car and moving around. I don't have the wireless controllers, so I'm sure those aren't the problem. I've also tried several different drivers for my gpu, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. System specs: Ryzen 1600 8gb ram RX 470. All help is appreciated!

    I've figured it out, if anyone somehow happesn to run into this post I used this fix: https://www.kapilarya.com/com-surrogate-has-stopped-working-windows-10

    Problem isn't in the usb ports, as those work fine. I can move my mouse around fine, and clicking around in task manager and such works fine too. Problem is that there seems to be no way for me to roll back to the previous update AFAIK, even in safe mode.

    So I had a windows update ready, and decided to install it. Afterwards, I log in and get greeted with a completely black screen, aside from my mouse (no response to right click). At best I can open task manager and use ctr+alt+delte, but that's about all I seem to be able to do. After booting into safe mode I can now get back into windows, but some things are still borked. For example, I can't use the search bar, or the start menu, and in the settings menu auto-crashes if I select devices or update & security, meaning that it doesn't seem likely I'll be able to roll back to the previous version. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Even so, a 980ti should be around 1070 levels so it wouldn't be that big of an upgrade to splurge on (especially witht eh costs of rtx cards)

    Take out the CMOS battery for 5-10 minutes and then put it back in. It's the circle sized thing left to the postcode, about the same size of a coin.

    Probably, though I'm not 100% sure about that. Worst case you'd have to buy a seperate fan controller.
  8. monjessenstein
    Yes it will work, and no it hasn't released yet.

    Bottleneck would depend on what you're doing with your system to be honest, whether you'll be running more cpu or gpu heavy tasks. As for stability, well if it isn't stable you'll notice ;). And lastly longevity, whilst oveclocking does affect the longevity of a cpu, you're really not going to notice it. Most cpu's could last 10,20, maybe even 30 years comfortably at stock speeds, and an overclock isn't even going to cut that in half. And even if your cpu does get somewhat damaged (before you sell it), it'll only mean that you'll end up having to use a few more volts for the same clock speeds.

    As long as the temps are fine, and you don't mind the power usage/extra sound form the fans from a high overclock, then why not? Worst case scenario is that it won't be stable and you'll havr to drop it down maybe a couple hundred megahertz at most, but even then it should be minimal.

    Maybe look into getting a ryzen 1600 cpu/B350 mobo used? I've heard they go for pretty cheap, so if you bundle that with 8gbs of ram plus a decent enough gpu it'll be a nice pc for gaming, plus you'll have an upgrade path opposed to something like a 4770k system.

    If the cheaest 1060 is 300 then go 570 all the way.
  13. monjessenstein
    All the failure reports were limited to the 2080ti AFAIK, so I see no problem with it.
  14. monjessenstein
    Personally I'd go with the 2600x, since it won't bottleneck your 580 and you can upgrade to zen 2 next year since AMD will be supporting the sicket till 2020 (who knows, maybe even get zen 3). Currently intel is better, but for the long term I'd go amd.
  15. monjessenstein
    What resolution are you running at? If it's 1080p you might be bottlenecked by the cpu, so cehck your cpu utilization.
  16. monjessenstein
    Nope, won't OC anything unless you yourself tell it to. Rivatuner that comes with Afterburner will allow you to overlay things like gpu/cpu/ram usage.
  17. monjessenstein
    Not really, this is pretty much the most you can do since it's a locked chip.
  18. monjessenstein
    Figured it out. It's because at light workloads, only a couple of the cores are used, meaning it'll turbo high. However, pretty much all modern cpu's run slower when utilizing all cores. As you can see here under general specs: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i5/i5-6400 an all-core turbo is 3.1 Ghz, whilst 1 or 2 cores is 3.3 and 3 cores is 3.2.

    Look at your temps, could be thermal throttling.
  20. monjessenstein
    Yeah totally fine. Technicly most cpu's can handle about 100 degrees, though I presonally don't like going any higher than 80.
  21. monjessenstein
    Far from a big difference, hell you could probably oc to the same level.
  22. monjessenstein
    Agree fully with Slottr. honeslt yI think it's outrageous that the stock intel cooler is even an option, considering that it already thermal throttles an 8700 non k, wonder how terribly a 9600k would perform with that...
  23. monjessenstein
    Probably, plus the speed and cas latency differ between them.
  24. monjessenstein
    ln2 is liquid nitrogen, exotic cooling used for world record OC attempts. It's probably just reading your clock speed wrong, since 2nd gen ryzen isn't gonna be going much faster than 4.2-4.3 Ghz.
  25. monjessenstein
    As for future performance the 580 would realisticly be better, since it has both more vram and is faster in DX12 scenarios.
