  1. Hey, so I recently got a WD Black SN750 250gb NVMe to replace my old Samsung one which was having these same issues, so when I transfer a file from my downloads to literally anywhere else on the same drive (such as the desktop), it takes far too long and has a very noticeable pause, sometimes I even see the loading bar stuck at 0% for a few seconds then suddenly speed up and finish (it does not matter how big the file is, the file in the video was a 136kb jpeg), why is this, and why have I never experienced it with SATA? Here is a video of it (no loading bar, just slow):

     

    This also does not seem to be a problem with Windows Defender as I have disabled it before (at least the virus scanning part) and had the same issue.

     

  2. Hey so I have an ASUS tuf x570 (wifi) motherboard and I tried using the usb-c to usb-c cable that came with my new note 20 ultra to fast charge it, and it will show fast charging for a few seconds than suddenly switch to slow charging, obviously this is an issue with port not providing enough power, so I have decided to get a pci-e card to fix this, all of these seem to have a internal connector for SATA power, which I would assume would mean that these infact can fast charge, but im not entirely sure, I have found these on amazon and want to make sure:

     

    (I would *really* rather have one that fits in the pci-e x1 slot, as the board only has 2 full slots and I may want to use something else in the 2nd full slot at a later time)

  3. Hey, so I am fixing and cleaning up an old Dell Dimension for someone else, and I decided to check the chipset to see if I could replace the thermal paste on it, well, clearly it needed it so I cleaned the old paste off the heatsink with a bit of work, but there is still a fair bit of it dried around the chipset die itself. I'm not really sure what to do here since I don't want to possibly damage it, but it would be great if I could clean up the old paste.. Heres a pic of the chipset:

  4. Hey, so I have a 1660 SUPER as my main GPU, its perfectly fine, but I remembered I had a GT 710 laying around so I decided to put it in the other PCIE slot so I could maybe use it for mining or something, I booted the PC back up, and there seems to be no issues. However I just want to make sure it wont slow the PC down or anything. I also use a samsung nvme as my main boot drive if that makes any difference.

    see if uninstalling everything asus related helps. they have notoriously bad bloatware

    Alright i'll try that. (I dont usually install manufacturer software ever, unless its absolutely required for a feature, which in this case it is, since ASUS has no BIOS RGB control, even though all the software does is tell the BIOS what color to use.......)

  6. Ok so, I have a pretty much brand new ASUS 1660 SUPER that I got last December, and I have used it with various motherboards since then, however the motherboard I eventually ended up settling on is the ASUS TUF X570-Plus Wifi, I have not had this issue with any of the other boards I have used this GPU with, but heres what happens. I will boot up the PC, have no problems for a good length of time, several days or even a week, then randomly, any process that is being used will suddenly jump to 100% GPU usage, this means anything, Desktop Window Manager, Firefox, etc, and make my PC beyond slow and very hard to shutdown. Once I do manage to shutdown, and I reboot, no problem again for that same period of time. From what I have seen when googling, this seems to be a Windows related software issue (obviously) that could be caused by something ASUS. Again, I have only had the issue with this motherboard and I am assuming it is stemming from that.

     

    If anyone knows anything else about this, I would really love to fix this issue and not have my PC randomly go extremely slow when doing something important. Any comments or help is appreciated.

    Ah, so the software was forcing the card into a constant higher power state. Depending on what the modes do, that might be intentional. 

    Well, not necessarily, I ran both the ASUS software and GPU-Z at the same time, and GPU-Z seemed to be reporting the correct stuff (that screenshot), while the ASUS software just seemed to be mis-reporting the clock lol
     

    Still uninstalled it though, probably better without it, even if it wasn't "causing" the "issue"

    You have another build to put the card into?

    Welp, i'm an idiot, I *assumed* that the manufacturer's software would actually *work*, I just opened GPU-Z and found some interesting numbers..

     

    Going to uninstall that ASUS crap right now, god knows what else its doing to my GPU...

    Did you manually install the drivers? I would also just try doing a clean driver installation to see if the issue goes away. It's definitely stuck in a higher power mode. Have you also just tried rebooting the PC? I don't know what your habits are as far as shutting down the PC when you're done using it or if you leave it running.

    Hmm, for the drivers I let Windows 10 install them automatically first, then after that I updated them from NVIDIA's website, and yeah, I have shut the PC down in the last hour to look at the BIOS.

     

    I'll try DDU though. (Would you recommend using the Windows autoinstall drivers or the NVIDIA ones after though?)

    What is your GPU load? It should be close to 0%, but it can't hurt to check.

    Yeah, it stays at 0% at idle (I mean, at this point it wouldn't surprise me if its the motherboard, it LOVES to ignore user inputs for fan speeds)

  11. Hey, so I seem to be having an issue lately where my GPU clock will not budge at idle and always stays at 1830mhz and ~50c, this does not seem right at all, I checked and nothing large was using the GPU at all (when I took this screenshot almost nothing was running), I set the GPU to optimal power in the NVIDIA panel, tried windows power plans, nothing. Whats the issue?

  12. Hey, so I am looking to sell my Dell I7 "non-gaming" laptop (with an intel iGPU, yeah, its awful....), and get a GOOD gaming laptop that can get good FPS on most games (im not talking RDR2 here, but im also certainly not talking Minecraft). I am looking for one in the $700-$850 range, and I want it to be *somewhat* thin, if that's even possible.. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
