So its impossible then for now. I expected as much, just couldnt find that confirmation online. Thanks

Tired of playing shooters or other action games with full size headphones and i'm wondering if its possible to get a good wireless experience with earbuds. I'm currently using Sennheiser TW Momentum 3 with a somewhat generic BT 5.0 usb adapter (something like this). Trying to google this i only run into people with delay and severe latency issues and no actual way to completely remove latency. Is such a thing even possible, maybe with a better bluetooth adapter or something else?

Display issues after installing Ryzen 5 3400g drivers
Altaren replied to Altaren's topic in Troubleshooting
I think it mustve been a problem with both of my monitors, because when i went and tested it on my friends PC the system worked. Havent heard from him since so i imagine its not a problem. Its very odd though that it didnt work on two of my monitors (an AOC and a DELL) so i dont consider this fixed. -
Having trouble updating bios on MSI H97 Gaming 3
Altaren replied to Altaren's topic in Troubleshooting
Managed to flash the bios using the second method, was not aware i had to use a different file for the AMI utility. Downloaded E7918IMS.1B0 and that one worked. Still not sure why the first method using M-Flash did not work though. Ill mark issue as solved with this post, still want to thank ShrimpBrime for trying to help -
Having trouble updating bios on MSI H97 Gaming 3
Altaren replied to Altaren's topic in Troubleshooting
Tried, same result. Ive also added pictures to the post for clarity. -
Hello, I am trying to update the bios on this motherboard (current bios version is V1.6B0), however i am running into some issues. Firstly I've tried updating via M-Flash, while it recognizes the USB it does not find the file. I'm confident I'm doing everything right on my end, still here are the steps i took: -Formatted the USB (tried two different sticks, one 16gb and one 32gb, tried different ports) with FAT32 -Copied the "E7918IMS.290" file onto it (root, no other files on the stick) -Ejected the drive -Went into uefi and clicked M-Flash, it found the USB and when selecting it i get the "There isn't any BIOS File in this USB key (root folder). Please copy BIOS File ...." -I also tried an older version (still newer than current bios), same result. Also tried renaming the bios file to "MSI.ROM" as some have suggested in older forums I then tried updating with the AMI Firmware update utility AFUDE238, the error here was "Can not analyze ROM file. ROM file may be corrupted". Steps i took: -Made the usb bootable with rufus (freeDOS), copied the "AFUDE238.exe" along with the "E7918IMS.290" onto the root of the USB. -Booted into the usb (not UEFI, when i try that it boots normally into windows?) -Ran the "afude238.exe e7918ims.289" command -it started copying and extracting but did not finish and reported the error "Can not analyze ROM file. ROM file may be corrupted" Am i missing something obvious on my end or is there some other problem going on? Thank you

Hello everyone, i've been tasked to build a budget office pc and i already have a configuration in mind based on current local availability and pricing. That means i am not looking on suggestions to change it but only a confirmation or two that everything would work well and be compatible. I'm pretty confident it should work but like i said i haven't done this in a few years and i would just like to make sure i'm not missing some glaring issue that would be obvious to someone that's more in touch with current releases. Thank you! Edit: I do have one specific question. Is dual channel still a thing? I see i could save a bit if i bought a single stick of 8gb, so im wondering if there would be a performance loss from that. The list: AMD Ryzen 4 3400G (boxed) ASUS MB PRIME A320M-K DDR4 4GB PC 2400 CL15 G.Skill (1x4GB) - two sticks SSD Kingston 240GB A400 INTER-TECH PSU Argus APS-420W, 120mm, 82+ efficiency IT-APS-420W LC-POWER 7036B midi ATX one random 120mm fan as a single side intake

So just yesterday i got myself a new m.2 ssd and decided instead of cloning to just go with a fresh Win10 installation. My only problem so far is that the adaptive g-sync on my monitor (aoc 24g2u) is no longer working even tho to my knowledge every setting is the same. Basically the frames are capped at 144hz constantly as if adaptive g-sync was turned off (its turned on in the mintor osd and nvidia control panel). No other hardware has been changed, running on a gtx 1070 just like before with the old windows when adaptive g-sync worked flawlessly . Here are the things i checked/already did: -Nvidia control panel under "set up gsync" i tried both enable for full screen and windowed/full screen under "manage 3D settings" it shows "G-sync compatible" and i also tried the different vsync options tho that probably doesn't matter -reinstalled drivers after a driver sweep -Changed display port slots -Reset settings in the monitor osd Am i missing some other advanced option or setting? Im pretty sure i have everything set the way it was before reinstalling windows but i may have missed something.

Display issues after installing Ryzen 5 3400g drivers

Display issues after installing Ryzen 5 3400g drivers
Altaren replied to Altaren's topic in Troubleshooting
As stated in the OP, i tried two cpus and also older drivers (oldest i could find on amd site). The problem does not appear in the bios, only in Windows and only with amd drivers. After a fresh install it works normally with windows basic drivers, starts artifacting only after installing amd drivers (i suppose the igpu runs at a much slower clock or some sort of safe mode until then) -
So i am buiding a pc for a friend and everything went smoothly until i installed the drivers for the 3400g. Immediately after the display started randomly flickering or those rainbow pixel lines appearing every couple seconds. A couple times the screen went fully purple as well. Here are the things i tried so far and none worked: Software: -Several new windows installs (got them straight from microsoft site) -DDU wipe and then installing older amd drivers -in the bios i tried overvolting the ram and the igpu, also reduced igpu clock Hardware: - different 3400g - different psu - different hdd - tried the two ram sticks in different slots and different configurations The only things that i havent tried and i can think of are new ram and new mobo. Is there some software related fix i havent tried? Like i said the problem only appears after installing amd drivers, no issues with windows basic drivers (except theyre slow and choppy ofc). Here is the full list AMD Ryzen 5 3400g (tried two different units) Asrock b450m-hdv 2x4gb G.Skill F4-2666C15D-8GVR (tried different configurations, speeds and even 1.3v) 420w LC420-12 V2.31
