  1. I have an RX5700, Ryzen 3600 and on some games, but specially on Battlefield V, Free-Sync works really bad! I get framerates between 120 and 165 fps and my monitor is a 1440p 165 Hz Free-Sync Premium Lenovo G27q-20. Whenever I enable free-sync, the monitor's refresh rate jumps from whatever the framerate is to its half, very fast, which makes the game very laggy and unresposive. If I disable free-sync the game behaves normally but with screen-tearing, of course... Has anyone experienced this before?
  2. I'm close to buying this 2nd hand RTX 2080 but just noticed that one of the tracks of the PCI connector is a little damaged in one of the listing's photo. Could this be a serious issue? I asked the owner for a video showing the GPU working. If in the video it works fine, do I assume that the missing bit is no problem or could it still be? Thanks!
  3. I just saw both Short Circuit and Jayztwocents videos on the RTX 3080 and they both talk about the embargo to release performance reviews but none said any dates. Does anyone know when the embargo will be lifted and we'll get some juicy benchmarks?
  4. I thought of that possibility! No, I never replaced the thermal pads and they contact with the memory chips for the GPU, the VRMs and mobo chipset. Could that be my problem then?
  5. I've had a Lenovo gaming laptop for about 3 years and the last few months it started overheating and I can't fix it. Before, eveytime this happened, I opened it up, cleaned up the fans that had built up dust, put fresh thermal paste and it was good to go again, but now, nothing works! I've cleaned the fans, repasted, used a newer paste, a Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for a 3rd try, different spread methods, quantities, etc, and to no avail. The fans work flawlessly, I have a 10% undervolt on the CPU (i7 7700HQ) and the GPU is a GTX 1060 Max-Q that NEVER went above 70ºC and now it can reach 85ºC with no problem. I've only been able to play games that allow me to have the laptop with the bottom-side up in order for it to breathe as unobstructed as possible and still it shuts down if I don't let the CPU downclock when it throttles... I have a friend that is a pc technician and he told me that it was one of 3 things: either the battery, that has been acting up is causing the issue, which I removed but hadn't had time to properly test, or the heatsink is defective or the chips, CPU, GPU or both are dying and can no longer dissipate the heat properly. Is there any way I can diagnose which of those problems exactly is causing the issue? I have access to an IR thermometer, if that helps. I don't want to be buying a new heatsink or battery to then realize the problem is on the chips... Thanks in advance!
  6. It can't be just that because I never had this problem before and I've had this laptop for 3 years. The undervolting always worked great and was more than enough to keep the CPU below 85 ºC and the GPU, which is a Max-Q never went above 70 ºC and this shutdowns NEVER happened before. That's why I'm worried it might be the "glued" thermal pads that contact the VRMs and memory modules that became inefficient but I have no easy way of knowing because those don't have temperature sensors and I don't know how to identify overheating of those components. Would the IF thermometer help in this?
  7. For the past 2 months my laptop (Lenovo Y520) has been turning off abruptly due to overheating and I can't seem to find what the problem is! I've already repasted multiple times, using many methods, quantities and even different pastes. I bought a new Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, applied it using the little spreader thing, with more than enough quantity, cleaned all the dust from the fans completely, use the boost mode for the fans and clearing the bottom of the laptop for air circulation, still this happens! I am also undervolting the CPU to the max I can and it's a stable undervolting that I've been running for years now. I'm starting to think that the problem might be VRMs or memory modules overheating because the heatsink has "incorporated" thermal pads that cover those components and I've taken the heatsink off multiple times and never replaced those thermal pads that are somewhat dirty. Could this be it? Also, my NVME SSD goes up to 115ºC while browsing a menu in a game and the task manager shows the SSD apparently idling at that temperature... I have a friend that has an IR thermometer. Could I use it to see exactly what is overheating? Thanks in advance!
  8. The screws are held in place, so even if they're loose all the way, they can´t drop out of the heatsink.
  9. Hi, everyone! I have been having overheating on my laptop. It's a Lenovo with a i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1060-MaxQ and the heatsink is crap. It's a 2-pipe single heatsink shared by both the CPU and GPU. Lately I've been hitting close to 90ºC on the CPU and close to 80ºC on the GPU (which I never saw above 72ºC) so I decided to repaste it and clean all the dust. I used an old MX-4 I had for like 7-8 years and the thermals were even worse after! I figured the paste had gone bad and so I bought a Kryonaut tube and applied it and the thermals did not change! I was hitting 93ºC in the CPU and high 80ºC on the GPU. I opened it up again and this was what I saw (this is the CPU but the GPU looked the same. Usually you see a lot more paste when you open it up. Does this mean I used too little thermal paste? I used the pea method. Also, then I figured that MAYBE the screws on the heatsink are not meant to be tightened to the max and googled it and I guess that's right. Tightening it to the max can squeeze the thermal paste away from the contact zone so it should be tightened like 60%. I tested how many turns the screws had and it was 5 turns. I turned them 3 times each and that time I used the spread method like this. After testing, the max the CPU got was 87ºC and GPU was 74ºC, so either the spread method, the looser screws or both helped! Any ideas about this? Best regards!
  10. Hey guys! Very simple question: which way should I go? Buy a bigger, 65 inch Samsung Q67R or a smaller and better 55 inch Q70R? The 55"Q70 is 970€ and the 65"Q67 is 1300€. I think that given the price difference, the Q70 is better, right? What if I find them at the same price a little down the road, say, Black Friday? Thanks!
  11. Hi, everyone! I recently bought a Samsung NU8005 4k, HDR TVs and I can't seem to activate HDR through windows! I can get 4k @60 Hz but when I go to the TV settings and activate the HDMI UHD Color, which is necessary to activate HDR on windows afterwards, it just goes black and doesn't work! The HDMI cable is HDMI 2.0, or else I wouldn't get 4k @60 Hz, right? Or could I really be having a problem with the HDMI cable? Anyone can help? I'm going crazy with this
  12. The guy is willing to lower the price to 80€, so it's a good deal. The cheapest I find here is 107€
  13. Yeah, very, very confusing! But, @syn2112, it's not always true. There are some M.2 2280 PCI SSDs that use AHCI, which if that's the case, it won't work on my laptop...
  14. @PopsicleHustler, But NVMe are also M.2 xD But there are different keys, and that defines the notches. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on the skhynix site or anywhere else the word "NVMe" and I'm afraid it doesn't work on my laptop
  15. @Minibois, Hmm, I see... I think so too. By the speeds, the form factor, everything it seems to be an NVMe. My fear is that there's a fundamental difference between PCI e and NVMe and that it isn't compatible with my motherboard. I know that, for instance a M.2 2280 SATA SSD doesn't work here and I'm afraid that if it isn't specifically NVMe, it doesn't work either ?
