    melted like what? wrinkled ? this is a common problem for old lcd tv.
    if it's wrinkled, it's easy to repair. you can just replace the top layer called the polarizer film.

    DevlosMaxima got a reaction from Nayr438 in I found a guide for single GPU pass through.

    I found a guide for single GPU pass through guide by someone on youtube named risingprismtv I am sharing this in hopes of more people picking up his work and eventually making a more easier user friendly guide for people on other distros down the line. I have noticed with linux the more people share and communicate the better solutions become and I hope this will help people who cannot afford dual GPU setups but don't want to use windows as their primary driver and still want to be able to game without headaches in games like PSO2 which was just recently released. VM gaming to me seems like a good idea especially with my frustration with recent microsoft builds being unstable for me.

    TLDR: This is less of a request for help thread and more of a sharing of something neat I found apologies for the rambling.

    Your motherboard doesn't have heatsinks on the VRM, which is a circuit that powers the processor:
    If the processor consumes too much power, those chips which convert 12v into 0.8v..1.4v for the processor can overheat.
    If they overheat, the BIOS detects that and will automatically throttle the processor (reduce the frequencies) for some time until those components cool down below some threshold.
    So cooling the CPU itself won't help much, in fact the better you cool it, the happier it will be to aim for higher frequencies, which means it will take more energy to function at those high frequencies, but this in turn makes those components I circled with yellow to heat more.
    The 3800x has a 105w TDP.  I personally would only use 65w TDP processors on motherboards that have no heatsinks on the VRM circuit.
    The 3800x processor will work, but that circuit will be constantly hot and if you do something very cpu intensive, the cpu may be slowed down to keep things cool.
     
    You can try to improve things by getting a 80 mm or 92mm or 120mm and screw it to the side panel (after you make a cutout in the side panel) so that the fan will be right above that area blowing air down on it.
     
    You could also improve things by a tiny bit (not much) by applying some heatsinks on those chips:  https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Heatsink-conductive-Regulators-8-8mmx8-8mmx5mm/dp/B079FQ22LK/
     
    Here's another link, where you can buy exact sizes to cover each chip individually : https://www.digikey.com/short/pdtjqm

    In your case it won't. If you don't want to replace your mainboard, it makes more sense to go for aircooling with a ton of airflow over the board.

    What mainboard and CPU are you looking at? There's some incompability with the 3xx chipsets.
