  1. Thanks friends. Was hoping to avoid rooting but I'll have to look into it.
  2. So I've just bought a Galaxy s20 5G FE. Mainly because my S8's battery life had tanked again. I've learnt all the theory of charging for battery longevity (20-80%, reduce heat ect.) But what I need help with is the practical solutions. Show me the Tech! Is there a way to -physically slow charging speed, -delay charging time, -and limit an s20 FE's max charge to 80% overnight? software app option?? hardware option??? I've heard of these being features on other devices. Manually charging up in the morning is not an option for me as I'm pretty much straight out the door and on my feet for 12hrs.
  3. Yea I knew that bit, keeping my clubbed thumbs out of all the zappy bits. ? Whats with the rest of the world and and they're addiction to suing each other. Take responsibility for where you shove your fingers, if not get back in your padded room lol. But thanks for explaining where I went wrong tho. ?
  4. Yea naa, laws must be a little different where your from. I had no intentions of limiter bashing the psu so I was fine with sacrificing some of that top end cooling performance. But it don't work so back to stock I go.
  5. Bugger! O well, ill just have to pop the other one back in and put up with it I guess.
  6. Because its the loudest part of the computer. I wasn't worried about the specs of the fan, I was just trying to make it quieter at idle. And that all it did, it idled loudly and never ramped up after continual pc stress testing. I mounted it the other way because it works better with the entire system airflow since there's a fan pointed at its side "exhaust" vent
  7. I thought pwm fans could still work fine on just voltage control. That's why they still work on 3 pin fan headers dont they?
  8. So I'm building a pc and i swapped the fan on the PSU (Silverstone SFX SX650-G) for a Noctua A9x14 and now its not spinning at all! I had it up and running just fine before the swap but the fan span all the time and was louder than the rest of the computer (all Noctua) which is why I decided to swap it for a quieter fan. Even at full load (230 watts from the wall) the fans not even trying to move! So unless power and ground wires were color coded wrong in the psu (I put black - black & red{psu} - yellow{noctua}) and ideas on what the problem could be? am I missing something? The only thing I found weird is the psu stock fan is 12v 0.45amps, which is 4 times the Noctuas amperage. But that would mean the noctua is easier to spin so I dunno.? Assided ×
  9. So i thought id better finish this off by saying how it ended up. I had to ship it back to them but they paid postage to send back the new item. & there was no waiting time, I received notification of them receiving the tablet and another notification of them posting out the new one that same day. New one works perfectly.
  10. I could send it back for a refund but they're not available in Australia which is why importing was the only option. Only shipping insurance
  11. I found the network bands the canadian/us version of the tablet operates on and contacted optus, who confirmed it was compatible with both 4g and one out of two of the 3g bands used in my area. But that's not the issue. It doesn't READ the sim card, it doesnt recognize that its even in there. The AT&T one came with it in the box so it should definately be able to read that.
  12. I confirmed with optus that it would work before purchasing. I want to mount a tablet in my car to use for gps, car OBDII interface, music & entertainment hub. I have 5gb a month on my mobile plan that i can share with a tablet by connecting a second sim to the account. I chose the shield specifically because i was interested in the gamestream technology and knew console mode is something that i would definitely use. Would i be able to rma direct to Nvidia? or is going through NCIX the only option?
  13. I never expected to have to pay for the new product! My sister works in a local computer shop and she said some manufacturers will reimburse the return postage once its a confirmed manufacturers fault but they never charge for return shipping. Would have bought it locally if it were sold here.
  14. So i got a shield tablet shipped to me here in Australia from Ncix Canada & is doesn't recognize any sim cards, iv tries 1 AT&T and 2 Optus ones. Iv been through all the trouble shooting with NCIX & Nvidia. It did have old android when i got it so i ran all the updates, factory resets and the like but nothing has worked and my customer service representative has just said: "We can help cover the warranty but we would need to receive the tablet back in BC, Canada to replace it and you may be responsible for covering the shipping to send the replacement back to Australia." I expected that I might pay to begrudgingly ship it back to them, but to pay for them to ship it back!? I think NOT!

  16. What id like to know mostly is how these tablet screens look in full sunlight? Is one particularly better than the other? Its very sunny here in Straya and i don't want to buy a tablet if i wont be able to see the screen mounted to the dash in my car. So I planned this out a while back and had settled on a nexus 9. I have just found a barely used one for $620. (Aus $720rrp) 32gb and LTE for GPS and stuff. I wanted a %100 wire free setup to easily get it in&out of the car with Bluetooth audio streaming to my stereo sound processor, Wifi OBDII interface to the cars computer & a QI Wireless charging pad on the tablet mount. Would automate automatic unlocking, music playback, apps and stuff using the 'Tasker' app triggered from the wireless charging hooked up to car ignition. HOWEVER! I reevaluated the market and the Shield Tablet is very convincing. Main Disadvantages: Wireless charging - meaning completely wireless setup will now have 1 charging wire to plug in. This also means automation will work from USB power meaning disabling/enabling that event sequence whenever i switch charging from home/car. Can Qi charging be hacked into the shield?!?! Smaller screen - & less square but still good enough for the application. Less resolution - unfortunate but it still looks good right? Main Benefits: Micro SD slot - Was the biggest disappointment with the nexus, a definite +. Cheaper new - $540 is the best iv been able to find shipped from NCIX & comes with free controller, case & some games. Game streaming - While I doubt my home network can handle wireless streaming, I'm looking forward to giving console mode a go with my GTX780 Having difficulty deciding, any other suggestions for android tablet car installs?
  17. So iv got a second 2tb hdd to set up a Raid 1 redundancy array with my existing 2tb drive. There's about 1.2tb of data existing, the OS is on an ssd so this is mostly files, media, games & installed programs. I need to move my data off the existing drive over to 2 external drives (1tb & a 500gb) & then back again onto the fresh raid setup. Whats the best way to do this? Simple copy paste or is there some free software i should use?
  18. So i have a 250gb evo drive & 2tb Segate drive on m,y gaming desktop (Very High End). I have a 2nd 2tB Segate drive that i "WILL" to set up in raid 1 for redundancy. (On a Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5). I don't however have another drive to copy the 1.2tb of data too before setting up the raid 1. Is it possible to set up the raid 1 "on-the'fly" without doing migration off the stuff back-up-too stuff? Question??? Do you think a 500gb SSD with the the 2tb raid 1 is worth it? I just got a laptop for student purposes that i am putting 250gb evo drive in so i have the opportunity to upgrade my desktop drive. Basically buying a 500GB dribe means i can install 'ALL' THE programs to the ssd and make the hdd strictly data only. #im sorta drunk
  19. Much Awesomeness Many Thumbs up Good Job M8! Poem by a Bogan Nerd Aussie.
  20. Heres my desk http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/15926-desk-build-monolith-big-green-powerful-machine/?hl=%2Bmonolith+%2Bdesk
  21. Yea i put 8 threads on the 4770k and im getting around that now. Its a bit of a bad time for me to have started mining as its been over 40'c all week The fans are speeding up at idle and can be heard up the hallway when its mining. lol
  22. and here's a PTS earnings calculator i found. http://mrx.im/pts.php Jjust input ur cpm and it will give you a daily income estimate, dont know how accurate it is.
  23. I used this video to learn how to mine and get started on the CPU. Then you can download the GPU miner here: https://mega.co.nz/#!lZ5AVBrZ!w8mn_EDRrjsGaDuqvBxIiBy5MOPUOKNTtZRGBn2ZoSg and modify the .bat like you did for the CPU miner except you don't need the threads or memory info Anything pool mined with this has i think a %6 fee that's auto sent to the creator. (actually read the ReadMe lol) Heres another written guide that includes converting it to bitcoin and to paypal. http://www.overclock.net/t/1462655/guide-nvidia-cuda-pts-gpu-mining I FIGURED THIS ALL OUT YESTERDAY SO I COULD AS EASILY BE VERRY WRONG AS I COULD BE RIGHT
  24. i am also interested, just started mining protoshares. 4770k is putting out 90collisions/min and my 780 is doing around 1425 col/min.
