Help, Laptop for architect (apps detailed inside)
Spakes replied to OuterGodHermit's topic in New Builds and Planning
Pretty much every good gaming laptop can be used for those programs. But my suggestion would be looking for something that was refurbished by manufacturer and has Quadro GPU in it. Can't say specific models, but quick search might help you find something. My brother got his Dell from USA to Russia for less than 1000 Euros back in 2017. 6th gen i5, Quadro M1000 with 4 GB of VRAM, afair. -
Absolutely. LEDs get their power from RGB headers, so just connect fan itself and you should be good to go. That might still light up during BIOS initialization.

Will Most External HDD Enclosures Support the Seagate 16TB HDD?
Spakes replied to SpamMeisteren's topic in Storage Devices
AFAIK, unless there's some sort of non-UEFI BIOS-compatible hardware used for those enclosures (which would make anything bigger than 2 TB non-accessible above that mark), you should be fine. -
VS series are mostly trash, which is why everyone says to avoid it. CX series, on the other hand, have all features needed backed up by tested for a long time quality. Try to check CX600/CX600M, maybe that will be available (can't say about price, it depends on country and seller).

Poor gaming performance with lid closed.
Spakes replied to Drexl's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
That's a nice catch, but it's still weird that CPU clock decides to jump all over the place for no real reason. My bet is on "OS bug". -
9900KS has all but disappeared...
Spakes replied to Klips_USA's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Either that or people bought the shit out of stock. Can happen, too. -
Poor gaming performance with lid closed.
Spakes replied to Drexl's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
Can you check what frequencies does CPU and GPU run at when lid is closed and when it is open? -
That option would require reinstall since there might be no bootloader on SSD.

Need original bios for Gigabyte RX 570 Gaming 8G [GV-RX570GAMING-8GD]

Поздравляю!) -
Get used to it. Ryzens favor higher clocks most of the time usually, more than Intel does.
-
Those are definetely safe temps, trust me. "Hot" for Ryzen would be idling at 70°C.

Do you run stock FW? Xiaomi firmware sucks your link sometimes, at least that's what I noticed while using both Mi Router 3 and 3G (OG one) on stock. Flashed Padavan on them and no problems since then. If you need any info on how to do that, PM me, I'll answer as soon as I can. Or you can go OpenWRT route... That works, too.

I remember Linus actually used Ubiquity ones, they have PoE. But make sure that your switch/router also supports it.

Cold boot intermittently can't get past CPU debug light
Spakes replied to Freakeh's topic in Troubleshooting
Also if you can, try to find some other motherboards to test it out. Maybe your MoBo goes haywire for some reason... -

Maybe try to connect that additional 4 pin? Worth a shot. -
I have an interesting question... I do my folding on laptop (MSI GS63VR 6RF with GTX 1060 6 GB and 6700HQ). In order to keep temps as low as possible I use Eco mode and undervolting, so basically my CPU runs at base clock (2.6 GHz, no Turbo Boost activated) and GPU runs at lower P-state (core clock fluctuates between 1500-1650 MHz and memory effective clock is 1620 MHz). That way I ensure that with custom fan profile my CPU and GPU don't get too hot, in fact, they don't reach 80°C at all. But before I settled on this mode, I made custom "comfort" which turned off Turbo Boost and core clock is basically the same, too, but memory clock is restricted to only 7600 MHz. Which adds good 10°C to GPU temp. Question: How much PPD do I lose because of lower memory clocks? I have no idea how to correctly test it myself. With as less variables at hand as possible (aka some sort of consistent benchmark that is launched on "purified" from telemetry, Indexer and Defender Windows 10 that I currently have on my laptop).

Try to switch ports on your PC. Use one on motherboard for now, or try DisplayPort-to-HDMI/DVI-to-HDMI, if you have such adapters. Or use different types cables (like DP or DVI), if your monitor supports them.

Unless you need NVENC and RTX/Ansel, 5600 XT is going to have almost the same perfomance (maybe even better) than usual 2060 non-SUPER. Especially if your unit is going to have its BIOS updated to accommodate higher GPU and memory clocks. G.Skill is cheaper and has same speed. Plus you could probably overclock it to have even better perfomance (though, that's also true for Corsair, too). Storage is just cheaper, plus 660p is QLC and a slow one at that. Which is why I said earlier about 760p. Power supply is going to be quieter because it's not going to do a job as big for itself as 650 W one. Plus more room for PSU degradation (that happens after awhile, and after a really long time... Like, 3 years at least).

And if you want more silence, you better buy a bigger CPU tower cooler that can dissipate more heat than OEM one. Just saying.
