    Ben17 reacted to merco in 100% cpu usage but task manager cant find anything, please help!   
    I would try to run windows update and see if it fixes it. For some reason antimalware service executable is taking up a lot of CPU, could be normal though I have never looked too closely at it.

    Ben17 reacted to Origami Cactus in Ryzen ecc support pinnacle ridge or summint ridge   
    Yeah and pinnacle and summit ridge are the ryzen 1000 and 2000 processors. Your picture doesn't load, but as far as i know all ryzen cpus from pinnacle and summit support it.
    So anything from r3 1200 to r7 1800x, and from r3 2200g   r5 2600 to r7 2700x.

    Ben17 reacted to AngryBeaver in Is a 5400rpm 2 tb drive ok to use for backup of a pc   
    On its own it is an extra layer of security, but it can also fail. I personally prefer my backup to be on a raid for extra security. That way if one drive fails your data is still safe and you can add a new drive and rebuild the raid. I think the most important question is how important are the items in these backups? If the information is critical then you should have it backed up much like you are trying to do (preferably with a raid) and also have a copy in the cloud.

    Ben17 reacted to kkpatel87 in NZXT H710 Front panel airflow mod   
    Very creative, however here are a couple tips to make this look professional:
    The cuts look jagged and not-straight. I would recommend more sanding/filing to ensure a straight edge. The corners are probably the worst spot as they draw the eyes to it immediately. Its hard to clean up straight corners but i would have put in some corner rounds. In your case, maybe add some filler to the corners and create a radius. Any time you make a cutout, you should always re-finish the edge. It hides any imperfections and covers any exposed metal.

    Ben17 reacted to BetteBalterZen in Intel i7 9750 cpu clock speed frequency stuck @ 0.78ghz.   
    I've seen this issue on many laptops. 

    What mostly fixes it is choosing another powerplan that allows for more power to be used. 
    Or then it's drivers that needs to be updated, and/or firmware/BIOS.

    ^^this only works if you either use the jet to drive a turbofan, or when your CPU is hotter than the exhaust of the jet (which is very toasty)

    Ben17 reacted to Melodist in What stress test is better? CPU-Z or Aida64?   
    LOL and what do you use your PC for? On Linustechtips? Neuroresearch? WTF DUDE? What is your fucking problem? Prime 95 is old and at the time I used it didn't use the CPU properly, that's a known issue, because if you were such an expert, you should've known. How do you check your CPU's performance other than Geekbenchm, Cinebench and Adobe Premiere? Let me guess, Crysis 3?
     
    Read that thread before you begin to cock around:

    Their CPUs are probably all faulty.

    Ben17 reacted to Bombastinator in What is ur opinion on rgb lighting?   
    Older isn’t necessarily better.  It’s often worse or much worse.  Sometimes it isn’t though.  When an objects primary attribute is metal thickness or wood hardness for example older can be better simply because some materials like copper were often much cheaper. It’s a case where design improvements are overwhelmed by material robustness.  People haven’t gotten smarter but they haven’t gotten stupider either.

    Ben17 got a reaction from Lurick in How can I change a network from Guest to Private?   
    you need to have it connected to a network first 
    the profile bascilly tells windows whether network it is connected is private or public (the adapter doesn't really decide that iirc)
