    KarathKasun got a reaction from vanished in Do I need a sound card for ASUS ROG Delta USB C headset?   
    Any USB audio device has its own sound processing hardware built in.  You can use a USB headset on a PC with no audio device installed and it will work fine.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from KnowledgeByTech in ?Overheating? CPU on post, won't let me into BIOS before losing all power   
    Make sure a fan with a RPM signal is connected to the CPU fan header.
     
    Its also possible that the AIO pump has failed, resulting in a 0 RPM reading and excessive temps triggering over temp protection.

    Negative, you could try to use it as it won't damage anything that I'm aware of, but it will just refuse to POST in all likelihood.

    KarathKasun reacted to emosun in Black bleed in sleep? Why does the monitor glow when it's in sleep? 27" 1440p 144 Hz IPS   
    that monitor isn't in sleep mode it's just on showing a black image

    Doesnt work like that.
    You cant just plug a PCIe device into SATA and have it magically work, the signals are not compatible.
     
    SAS has an implementation that carries native PCIe signals (U.2), which is why these adapters exist.  The cheap SAS to USB adapters only work with the SATA based implementation of SAS.

    No, stop pulling stats out of your rear.
     
    The total impacted number of users is more like 0.1%.  There is not enough being reported to assume that it is over ~10%.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from BTGbullseye in Mutli GPU FPS Issues   
    Windows renders ALL displays on the primary GPU then copies the image to the secondary GPU.  In effect, it just streams the other displays to the RX 580 for display.
     
    The last MS OS that actually used multiple GPUs for the desktop was XP.  The change was made because of things like video decoding and GPU accelerated apps being broken between displays.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from Kilrah in Ryzen 7 3700X Running Very Hot Mini-ITX Build   
    Did you put the LNA on the fan?
     
    Your motherboard is likely overriding the stock boost limits, running the CPU at ~95w (or more) all the time.  You will likely need to disable boost override and any other "cpu performance boost" type option in the BIOS.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from DJ46 in Am i having a bottleneck?   
    Memory speed will be limited to the slowest module.  16gb at ~3200 will perform better than 32gb at 2133, unless you are actually running out of free memory.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from TimoHalofan in Legal recourse for botched computer repair? (Canada)   
    Thats not thermal paste in the socket.  Looks like a ghetto pin repair job using clay to support a broken pin.
     
    Anyway, the CPU is likely fine.  Overpasting doesnt kill CPUs.  Crap in the socket doesnt kill CPUs either.
     
    My question is, if you had the knowledge to even take the CPU out and examine it, why did you take it to a repair shop for a simple MB swap?  Thats like a 10m job.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from Lurick in Why not use liquid metal in watercooling?   
    Liquid metal is not as good as water in many respects.  Its thermal capacity is much lower compared to water.  Its more difficult to pump than water.  it eats other metals very quickly (put any gallium or mercury compound on aluminum).
     
    Gallium compounds also solidify at around room temp.

    KarathKasun got a reaction from MATTJW in I want to add another stick of ram to my system and maybe overclock it.   
    If the RAM has different timings it IS a problem.  In which case you have to manually figure out what timings work with both modules, set those timings with one module in the system, then add the other stick.
     
    But if the memory is the same model and SKU, this is not a problem 99% of the time.

    Pretty much nailed it.  Go back to defaults and re-OC and test after adding RAM.
