  1. Just CPU, CPU-OPT, SYS1 and SYS2 fan headers. I try to set the Pumps to 100% no matter what. Not a fan of Gigabytes software. The Rad is getting warm to the touch after a 15 Minutes of All 16 Cores at 100% CPU usage. I am not joking when I said I push it hard, it was a render, btw. There's a 5th fan in the BIOS/HW Info but I think that's referring to the one built on to the MB.
  2. I have both a USA Account and a British account on my British PS3 and British PS4, at the same time. I don't see why a PS5 shouldn't work the same as the PS4 did.
  3. I hit a CPU Thermal Throttle incident a few days ago. I think there could be something wrong with my AIO. My CPU Die Temps are usually around 58C to 60C At idle. As I do use this for CPU heavy tasks, like rendering and Video editing, I often push it hard, and quickly hits 90C. I used to have CPU "die block" on CPU fan,while having the Inline block on CPU OPT. When I look at my CPU "Fan Speeds" the CPU reads a 0RPM, and the CPU OPT seems to be full 5000RPM on or off. The SYS1 (Rad fans) varies based on load, but up to 2000rpm, which appears to be normal for said fans.. I swapped the CPU to SYS2, and still zero RPM. I swapped around the CPU die block, the CPU Die Block always reads Zero, and everything else reads fine. Yanking the plug while on doesn't affect temps, unlike the other block or fans. Am I worrying about nothing, or is there an issue that could kill my setup in the future. (I had a CPU die on me over a year ago...) I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU. Gigabyte x570 Aurous Elite Motherboard A BeQuiet AIO CPU Water Cooler with 2 Fan slot. (240 PureLoop https://www.bequiet.com/en/watercooler/1961 )
  4. I've been working with 6GB of VRAM since 2016, which is right on the edge of being supported with the assets I have.. (I've learned some tricks to make it work with 6GB VRAM, but I'm more or less using them on a regular basis.) I'd love to grab the 3090, but it's currently outside the budget. I've found 3080 TIs at £450, which I expect the 4060 TI 16GB to be at.. But what ever I do I'm going to stop and save, and wait for the review for the cards. I'd consider Team Red or Blue, if the software I used wasn't locked to Team Green.
  5. I think I'm approaching Apathy.. and I'm stuck on Team Green for my "work." I really can't continue Ray Tracing with iRay using a 1060 and a 5800X.. So planning to go second hand 3080..
  6. I will Just add that the PS3 controller needs to be connected to a console (ideally the PS3 or PS TV/Vita TV) or PC, not a battery bank or "Wall Wart" charger.
  7. Could well be, I've found the photo of the price tag, but it came out blurry. The card is a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti Waterforce. I just hope it doesn't suffer from the weak clip.
  8. Whoops, I omitted that from the list.. updated. It's a 850 watt one.
  9. I recently saw a used second hand RTX3080 TI (and a non-TI 3080) at local second hand store. Under UK£500, it's a near the top end on my budget. I'm currently have a GTX1060 6GB, that I purchased in September 2016. I'm considering the RTX 4060 TI 16GB, partly of the VRAM. I personally don't think that the 8GB is too little for the tasks I plan to do. I'm constantly being held back in DAZ Studio with it's Nvidia iRay Render. This Renderer is partly why I'm "locked" in to a Team Green. I'm constantly getting "Out of VRAM" Errors due to the how large assets are, and how little I've got to work with. (I can optimize the assets, but it's easy to turn the image in to a blurry mess.) I currently game at 1080p, but then I am thinking of upgrading in the next year for HDR 1440p monitor. The GPU I saw had a AIO watercooler, which I'm not sure it can fit inside my PC. The GPU Radiator had 2 fans on it. I also have CPU AIO, with a 2 fan Radiator installed in "the roof". Can it fit in my case and keep my GPU cool? (I will "red line" the GPU due the CUDA operations.) As Store is part of a known chain of 2nd hand Computer parts re-seller here in the UK(CEX): Are there any questions I should ask before forking over £500? The 4060 TI was picked partly due to the AV 1 support. For those who run both a RTX and Arc card how easy/hard was it? I'm considering buying a cheap Arc card later, to fill one of the other Slots to give me AV1 encoding. System Specs: Ryzen 5800X Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite MB (I didn't know about the Gigabyte user account.) 32GB RAM be quiet! Pure Base 600 Black Windowed PC Gaming Case (I think, this looks like it. I did check with the site I got my Case from, or their store.) (I do use the OOD bay.) GTX 1060 6GB (to go) Three monitor Setup. Corsair RM850 PSU
  10. I'm a Kindle Author. While I don't own the Kindle Oasis model, I have older Kindles and somewhat aware of the limitations. I also have many books gotten via 3rd party on my Kindles, as "Documents". (Including test versions of my own books.) The Kindle Oasis can't read epub files directly. Most epubs can be converted, either using a 3rd Party app like Calibre, or via one of Amazon's own converters. The Kindle Store can store "Documents" in the cloud, but with some file size limits. You can't really send Comics over the app. You can use both the app (on Android, iOS and PC) and the Kindle Oasis devices. There's Whispersync which allows you pickup on another device where you left off. You can have a number of devices connected, and a limited number devices with the same book at any one time. How well ePub Book covert will depend on the original file was made, but most books will be able to use some of the customisation features.
  11. I've got old Phenom II PC that I'm about to resurrect for as a server hidden in office shed. Given that the PC is 10 years old, I bought some Fans to replace the worn out ones, not realising they're 4 pin and the PC has 3 pin fan headers. So what would you recommend for me to buy to make the fans work? As for replacements, It's about UK £30 to get like for like replacement 3Pin fans.
  12. You then have never had to sit though a cold boot sequence on a relatively Modern Laptop still running a "Spinning rust" HDD as the OS. I often had enough time to get a coffee and a cake, and eaten it before the log in to Windows screen. I actually have planned to swap this drive soonish, but this is not a daily driver at the moment. My current laptop with SSD is ready before I can complete my order. Yes, I've encountered a few Hot laptop bag moments myself. Most of them where with a Toshiba Satellite laptop from 2007/8, that was barely able to run Vista in the stock format. Fixed that with Hibernate until the Battery dies within minutes of unplugging from the wall.
  13. I'm personally waiting for the 4060.. I'm currently undecided if I should go with 2060 12GB, or 3060 or higher. I really hate not being able to Ray-Trace via Nvidia's iRay on my GTX 1060, due to Vram issues.
  14. Time to throw my hat in... Boosting the Number of Adverts is a really, really slippery slope.. I could see the UK regulator getting involved, which isn't going to be nice for Google's wallet. Plus too many adverts will drive users away, which is not what YouTube wants to do. AV1 while is great.. It's too early to drop VP9 and some other encodings, as I don't think my T460 Thinkpad (with i5-6800U and integrated graphics) can do AV1 at 1080p.
  15. I play quite a few DX9 titles, so Intel Arc really makes me think against it.. However, I really want to know if I could get a DAZ Studio's iRay render using Arc.. but I doubt it, It's NVidia's Render engine. Mind you, I'm half tempted to run this with my GTX 1060.. the AV1 support sounds nice.
