  1. The one I use is a bit expensive, but super worth it if you have ocd like me needing to get every little piece of dust out. UltraGlass They got a special applicator that just works even in a relatively dusty environment.
  2. no guys this is not funny! they might be watching all my prime videos...
  3. So apparently this is not just happening to me... Other users are getting same email with a sign in code even though we didn't; request one. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazon/comments/9o74n7/amazon_signin_code_email/
  4. That is exactly what i am trying to achieve. HOWEVER! This kick starter is really expensive and the product is non existent. if you check their page you will find they are 1 year pass delivery. The product I ordered and will try is a product in production already and where as these hubs can only connect to themselves the one i order supposedly will connect to any bluetooth headphone which every one seems to have now( no thanks to apple)...
  5. Yes a transceiver is enough and that's all i really want. However sometimes its not just 1 person who's watching TV when other people are sleeping. Which is why the 3+ Bluetooth audio device. That being said i know not everyone likes watching TV like that which is why i ask if anyone is interested in such a item to begin with. Lets say your kid is sleeping, your friends come over and want to play super smash. would it be useful in that scenario? (legit questions no sarcasm or anything of the type intended)
  6. 1. I want to ask if there's anything like this on the market if so can you guys recommend some to me. (i.e. a device you can plug your TV or computer into and it will split the audio to 3 Bluetooth headphones.) 2. I want to know if anyone is interested in such a device. (i.e. a device you can plug your TV or computer into and it will split the audio to 3 Bluetooth headphones.) Lastly if anyone in LMG is interested in covering such a device on the show, let me know.
  7. I don't know what I can say on this forum but the general rule is unless you go to "bad" sites and use Edge browser you will be fine with windows defender. That being said though if you are prone to installing whatever sites and other programs tell you to, I suggest you get 1 more light weight anti-virus.
  8. For air cooling the effect is far less. I would say 5 minutes is more than enough. As for "benchmarking", if you are really serious about it, get another hard-drive/ssd and have a clean copy of windows and all the drivers you need on it and nothing else. Then use this ssd/hard-drive as a control over your usual setup.
  9. To add to what Majestic said about computers are not like cars, I like to point out why cars need a some to get everything warmed up. Cars has a lot of moving metal parts that are nearly air tight with one another. If you ever tried rubbing 2 pieces of metal against each other you will find that no matter how smooth they are they get really hot and the friction is enormous. Therefore it needs the oil to lubricate it. However back in the day oil consistencies are not what it is like today. Especially on colder days the oil is thick and not very fluid. Thus you needed to heat the oil to increase the fluidity before you go 60 on the freeway, since at those speeds the friction might be too much for the car to handle long term wise. Now computers are not the same. There's no oil, or metal rubbing against each other. Computers hit up because of electrical resistance. If you think about light bulbs you will understand this more. When you connect a light bulb to power you see it give light due to the temperature the filament is at. Same with a CPU and GPU. When you power on the PC, it is like turn on the light bulb. it actually gets hot immediately. In fact the die of the CPU or GPU is always hotter than the metal touching it. The only reason why it doesn't overheat is because there is a cooling system attached to it spreading the heat to a large surface area be cooled off by the fans. Also due to the fact that at higher temperature differences heat transfer is also increased, your CPU will loose heat at a faster rate the hotter it gets. In summary your CPU will never heat up too quick for your cooling solution to handle unless its thermal throttling. There can be too much power(energy/time) for the coolers to handle but not too quick to handle. Also side note if you want to see how you system runs. Depending on if you have liquid or air cooling if might be best to give it like 30 mins after startup to run benchmarks. This has nothing to do with damaging the system or anything it will just give you more "real" numbers. Liquid coolers has water inside and water has a high specific heat, meaning they can absorb a lot of heat before going up 1 degree Celsius. So you kind of want your system to warm up the liquid before running benchmarks to not fool yourself thinking you may have a better cooling solution than you actually do.
  10. yea but isn't this cpu only rated for 1.4v or something?
  11. I think there's something wrong should i be worried? My VID is super high... this doesn't make any sense... Please help
  12. Give the regedit i mentioned aboved a try so far worked for me.
  13. Oh don't worry about hex or decimal since hex and decimal for 4 is still 4 it only gets weird when 10 or above. Btw theres a new update that came out i don't know if it fixes anything for you. it did nothing for me... Its looking like Microsoft is neither actively trying to find a fix nor acknowledging the problem... Only if someone big points out the problem. **Cough** Linus **cough** But i can't blame him for not pointing it out though since not everyone is having this issue. I asked my friends only 3 out of 9 people I asked has the issue and out of the 3 only some of their computers have the issue. I guess i pulled the short straw... All 3 of my computers have the issue **sigh**
  14. I actually went and time this shit cause i am stupid. I had a 1tb 850 before full startup with everything loaded took 20 seconds. I then cloned that disk to my 1tb 960 and it now takes 15 secs to load everything. GG! pop goes $450. The difference is far from HDD to SSD. But if 5 secs is really that important to you then i guess you need it... BTW with window 10 1709 update theres a feature that loads everything in for you before you log in and that further eliminates the need for the 960 in my opinion. All that being said windows does like giving you false "BIOS times" and if you are into those, that number will decrease a lot with nvme. I am currently down to like 7 secs or something...
  15. Not 100% sure about 4th gen but z370 motherboards have basically another 4 pcie lanes for nvme and stuff not sure if they get used good question!
