I did reach about 29 to low 30s on my CPU one time: GPU's usually been at around 70C if I let it do its thing.

It looks like a new addition to the standard so people probably haven't had time to make something safe to use.

I think both are used to express the same thing in the end. However I think too much about the literal meanings behind it and it becomes something bad, so I try not to use it. ?

If the other software is performing fine, it's likely limited to Metro Exodus, and this post may be better suited to a bug/crash report to the developer. Especially something as generic as "NULL POINTER WRITE" (it basically means the software was trying to store data somewhere that for all intents and purposes, the computer can't or won't resolve where to write the data because the location is gibberish)

There's two major reasons why clock speeds tend to hit a wall: Power budget. Clock speed is directly related to how much power a processor will dissipate, which in turn means how much heat it generates. Sure we can make processors run to 7-8GHz, but they're outputting so much heat that it requires basically running freezer unit directly on the processor to keep it from frying. Timing issues. Instructions are processed on the CPU in stages. Some stages may become a bottleneck, meaning it limits the actual performance in the end. For example if we had this setup: And stage 3 was the bottleneck, then increasing the clock speed means that while the rest of the stages complete their work in a shorter amount of time, stage 3 will just hold up the line rendering all of that time savings moot: There's probably other reasons other things, but those are the two primary ones.

Hell I wouldn't subject myself to 90+ dB without hearing protection for longer than I have to.

I'd argue get something now and develop on it. Whatever you do is likely going to perform better anyway on later hardware. Ultimately though, you should test on the lowest specification you're willing to support.

I wouldn't worry about it either way. This is how the processor is designed to work. If it's bad for the processor, there would've been recalls out the ass a year ago.

Any LED based solution will theoretically last the longest, but longevity depends on how you use it. All the OLED displays I've used work just fine even after years of use because I don't crank up the brightness on those things.

Some software monitoring tools like HWMonitor and HWiNFO can report power or current consumption probe values if the hardware is reporting it. But this isn't the entire picture either, so at best it's a ballpark estimate.

Yes, by virtue that it's an actual reading.

Typically cards will only price drop when a direct competitor or a refresh of the lineup comes out. When a new generation of cards come out, there's almost never a drop in MSRP from what I recall. Any price drop is because the store wants to make room in its inventory.

Pitch and roll. Yaw from what games I've played put it on the shoulder buttons.

It depends on the laptop and what it's capable of outputting on the USB-C port.

You only update BIOS if: You have a hardware compatibility problem (example, needing to get a B450 board to accept a Ryzen 3000 processor) There's a feature a newer version offers that you'll actually want There's a security issue with the current version that's fixed in a later one Otherwise it doesn't matter when you do it. But don't update BIOS just because.

An LED monitor in current parlance means an LCD that uses LEDs as the backlight, instead of cold-cathode fluorescent lamps. This breaks down into two types: edge lit and array lit. Edge lit has a row of LEDs on the edge of the panel and a diffuse layer distributes the light. Array lit has an array of LEDs behind the LCD panel that lights up sections of the LCD. MiniLEDs from what I can gather are used to make array lit LED displays have more sections. microLEDs seems to be looked at to specifically use the LED as the complete display element like OLED, rather than using it as another backlight source for LCDs, even though you can still do that. My gut feeling is the mainstream will be white microLEDs used as backlights for LCDs, because it's easier to make.

Practically all GPUs don't have a upper limit of frequency. They'll boost until one of the following is hit: A soft cap on the voltage, which is what the GPU won't exceed by default A hard cap on the voltage, which is what the GPU won't exceed ever, because going beyond this will damage the GPU A cap on power dissipation AMD simply raised the power dissipation cap on the new vBIOS. However this means that the VRM may have to be re-validated and cooling profiles have to be tweaked to cover for this. If we're talking base clock frequencies, I'd argue raising it is a moot point unless you're trying to keep the GPU at a set frequency.

The common convention I've seen is the left stick is used as the control joystick and the right stick is used to move the camera around. The triggers are often throttle/brake since for the Xbox/PlayStation controller they're analog still. You might think they'd be good for firing weapons, but they're too mushy for a binary action.

No, the second connector is if you're going to do hardcore overclocking. Hopefully it won't care which one is plugged in as long as at least one is plugged in.

Ryzen Master is only showing you the VCore setting, it doesn't show you the actual voltage reading.

As far as I know all 120mm case fans are primarily 12V.

That's normal. Whenever the processor boosts to the maximum frequency (4.3GHz or so), it has to bump the voltage up to reach it.

Bottlenecking is something you worry about if you're not getting the performance you want out of a game. If we don't know what kind of performance you're getting now and what you want, then the question isn't really answerable.
