    Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a program that completely uninstalls the graphics driver to make sure that no errors will occur after a reinstall.

    I dunno how many hours I have in roblox. It's probably #2 since my account was 8 years old in september but I can't be sure since you can't track your hours.

    Next year? As in Sept 2020? If so, don't even bother looking now. It's way too soon.

    mxk reacted to Fasauceome in GPU Upgrade - Should I go all out?   
    In terms of value, the higher end versions are rarely worth it. The FTW3 has a better cooler and all, so if you love quieter operations and such it's the aim of it, but the Black certainly does its job and does it well.

    The cooler and motherboard are calling out for a 8700K, but it's a nice build otherwise.

    there's the Coolermaster MB511, Fractal Design Focus G, or for less you might find a Tesseract BF, or MX 330 from cougar.

    mxk reacted to Slottr in questions about overclocking my 2700   
    4ghz is a pretty good spot for the 2700. If you wanted to keep tinkering, I'd bring that voltage down
     
    That xeon chip had a different architecture than the 2700, 4.3 ghz on that chip may be crappy compared to the 2700 at 4, and vice versa.
    There's more factors aside from clockspeed that determine a chips performance

    mxk reacted to 191x7 in Identifying the bottleneck(s)   
    I don't know how those simulators use resources, but I can tell you from general gaming and some multiplayer games like Battlefield V, there are titles where an older 4 core with HT does bottleneck a high end card like the 1080Ti.
    Thus, I would recommend a modern 6-core or better, something like the Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600, and from Intel the 8600K or 9600K and up.

    mxk reacted to Exaco in Low FPS with GTX 1080   
    Seems like your FPS is locked to 140, what do you expect?
    If the cap is at 140fps then GPU doesn't push its limits and so doesn't utilize to the max, try to turn off Gsync/vsync/fps limit etc and see what happens. 

    Also R6 isn't demanding game for a GPU, so it's normal to have below 99% usage.

    mxk reacted to vanished in Recovering my files if it's possible   
    First the obligatory "we are not professionals and the best thing you can do to maximize your chances of a successful recovery are to take the drive to a professional - anything you do to it yourself, be it a recommendation from this forum or otherwise, has the chance to simply damage the data and chances of recovery further".
     
    With that said, there are various home data recovery programs out there.  I know of "recuva" and used it once on Linux to (iirc) good success. nvm apparently it's windows only and I forgot the name of what I used either way, that is one option for you.

    mxk reacted to Oshino Shinobu in is it necessary to re-apply a new thermal paste if i have to remove cpu cooler for a few seconds   
    Not necessary, but it's best practice to, generally. If the paste is relatively fresh, you're fine to put it back on.

    mxk got a reaction from Blatcher2 in Choosing a CPU Upgrade   
    what are you talking about? The R5 1600 keeps up fine with the 2060s unless you just want more out of your CPU that the 1600 isn't providing.

    task manager sucks, its buddy and not accurate
     
    moving up into higher resolutions is based off the gpu not the cpu
     
    a 3600 would be fine tho
