    don't you just love spending 2 hours reinstalling windows to fix something and it doesn't even fix it? absolutely fantastic. 

    one good thing is that i got rid of windows 11, reinstalled good old windows 10. it's like shaking hands with an old friend. all the stupid windows 11 stuff like no never combine on taskbar, stupid context menu's all gone.

      this takes up so much space.

      win 10 doesn't remember window positions on external displays and doesn't have that awesome window snapping feature bar thingy.

      One of the best features ever.

       

      also, does win10 even support the new snipping tool?

      i'm the kind of person to have multiple chrome or firefox windows open, across multiple displays. being able to see immediately what window it is without having to hover and select from a list is huge.

      After installing Windows 11 I disabled fancy zones. No need for it anymore.

      Also even with fancy zones Win10 still doesn't remember the last window location.

    i've been using Teracopy for a few weeks now and it's amazing. much better than windows Explorer for managing file copy and moving, mostly because you can que up transfers so you don't slam for example an external hard drive with like 5 simultanious transfers. teracopy can do them one at a time.

      I like Teracopy. It's one of the few pieces of "freeware" that I own the paid version of.

    have you stress tested the system> i mean running cinebench and heaven benchmark simultaniously to see if it turns off? it could be as simple as a psu that's too weak for the hardware. slamming the machine with a load should show that. if it does turn off, run cinebench or heaven on their own, to see if it still turns off when only the gpu or only the cpu is under load. if that's not the case, it's likely your psu is too weak to run both the gpu and cpu under load like in a game.

    can you check here?
  9. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    why is your back fan an intake? that's the wrong way around.
  10. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    some component is being overloaded obviously. do you have another psu to test with?
  11. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    i'm not familiar with any of the "issue" games, but are any of them vulkan titles? and the ones that are working DX12? maybe research that...
  12. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    what gpu do you have? the FX 9590 basically needs a nuclear reactor to power it, it's extremely power hungry. you could be overloading that psu.
  13. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    if you are running windows, press windows key + p, a menu comes up. you can select to have the pc screen only or the tv only, or extend.
  14. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    i assume you're running windows.

    what power supply do you have?

    it's time for my yearly setup change. whenever it becomes hotter i put away my big towers and switch to my laptops due to heat. it makes around a 2 to 3 degree difference in my appartment, so worth it.

    here are my 2 main towers, put in storage until about october, when it becomes colder and i can use them again without turning my appartment into a sauna. 

     

     

    IMG20230513182840.jpg?width=720&height=5

     

    this is my setup for the summer. hp gaming laptop replacing my gaming pc/main system, and the macbook replaces the Mac Pro for aything *nix related that i need. 

     

    makes about a 400W difference i reckon. my display for my pc setup is like 75W on it's own. gaming rig is 250-300, Mac Pro is also a few hundred watts. 

     

    this is a lot less practical of course, i have to use my ssd's that are normally in my pc externally etc. but again, it's worth it. 22-23c vs 25+c in my appartment makes a huge difference. 

     

     

    sidenote, the 2 charger's power cables are run to the power strip under the desk, but i have different ends for both so if i wanna take my laptops anywhere i can just unplug the chargers at the power cord and take my other power cords with me. super convenient.

    it's great you've not had issues. depending on what kind of raid it is you can encounter them. i've had a motherboard with a hardware raid chip, without the driver the ports connected to the chip wouldn't work, even with drives in non-raid mode. the point here is to aliviate such issues. a driver takes up so little space and resource that even if the device isn't used, it's worth installing to avoid stupid problems since it costs so little to have it installed.
  18. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    they have 10 gigabit internet that's not a problem for them lmfao
  19. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    i don't think you realize how drivers work. if you don't install them, Windows will just not have a clue on what to do with that hardware. even if it's dorment unused, that can cause problems since the OS has no idea what it even is, so it doesn't know it's sitting unused either. you should ALWAYS install ALL drivers on a system, no matter if it's for hardware you're using or not. for example, if you don't use your iGPU, if you have drivers and Windows knows it's there but unused, Windows can put the chip in a low power state. that reduces power consumption and heat output. without drivers, the chip will still be active and in a high power state, because Windows doesn't know how to tell it to go into a low power state.

    i don't think so. here's an article explaining it: https://www.ontrack.com/en-us/blog/how-long-do-ssds-really-last basically what wears it out is if you delete something and then put new data on it. that is measured in the write cycles myself and others have already mentioned.
  21. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    as far as i'm aware not really. SSD's usually have a max drive writes in the specifications you can look up for your SSD. you can then use a program like CrystalDiskInfo to see how much you've written to the drive. example here's my OS drive: and here's what Samsung says: so with my almost 30 terabyte written i'm about a third and a bit towards the cap for guaranteed reliabilty. in any case, you'll want to make backups of all your stuff always just in case, but this gives you a good indicator.

      This is conceringly accurate.

       

      Coding is more akin to lego blocks...of other peoples code. You just write the code that glues them together...

  23. Ashley MLP Fangirl
    that'll work fine. just run Windows update once you've done it, that'll install any needed drivers.
