  1. I wouldn't. It would just reduce GPU budget, which you probably gonna need buying 4000 series.
  2. X has slighly higher clock frequency. Will you notice? Probably not. I don't think you'll notice it on your electricity bill either but slightly higher clocks is slightly higher clocks so if they cost the same... EDIT: Both can probably be undervolted a bit.
  3. I don't think power usage would be noticeable but I generally don't use laptops. I've seen from reviews that KC3000 is more power hungry than others though so I dunno.
  4. HWInfo displays the values of sensors. I've had one motherboard which at some point spat out rediculous values. Fans going at 200.000 rpm and 14 million volts here and such crazy stuff. I think it got normal again after clearing cmos or something, I don't remember exactly. /shrug Apart from that short period al my sensor values on several computers have been plausible in HWInfo as well as backed up by other monitoring software. If you are unsure of HWInfo values use Ryzen Master if you have Ryzen CPU.
  5. Sounds like issue with XMP. Turn XMP off and see if it gets better. Otherwise please provide more information like what kind of system it is, components what you're doing when it happens but it sounds like random events. Event 41 is just an event recorded after Windows haven't been properly shut down.
  6. I know but if you didn't try checkdisk before the others... you may wanna give that a shot first and then do the rest again if check disk did anything. You can do a simple scan with checkdisk and see if it can fix something. If not it looks like reinstall time to me, sorry. If the PC have been shut down without the proper procedure then it's likely there are issues checkdisk can fix. You can try (after backup) but I doubt it will help. I think Windows install media repair only repairs boot issues but I may remember it wrong. Haven't used it in maybe 5-10 years.
  7. Try this and see if it helps. EDIT: You cant use Start menu? I think you can open CMD as admin from task manager? Ignore this if you did check disk on the drive. You didn't mention it so I think it's worth a try doing that first and then SFC etc. Scan system drive Search Start menu for cmd and choose run as administrator. Then run command below before you reboot and let it scan. chkdsk c: /f /r Scan system files When back into Windows after scan open cmd like before and this time run command sfc /scannow Scan Windows image Reboot if it fixed anything. After reboot or if it didn't fix anything run these commands in cmd admin session. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth Then reboot and see if any of this made it better.
  8. Generally Nvidia laptop GPU is 1 tier lower than marketed so a 4090 laptop is generally a desktop 4080 and a 3080 laptop is generally a desktop 3070. If I understand what I've been reading correctly. I'm no laptop user though but I can't say I think very highly of this practice from Nvidia as it's gonna fool potential customers. I don't know anything about AMD laptop GPU but they may use a similar practice. Pretty much. They can call it what they want but in my eyes it's just lies.
  9. Either will be fine and I don't think you'll notice a difference. With that being said, you can use your NMVe for both OS and Steam. Windows don't take much space and if you do a clean install, you'll have a fresh Windows install which may improve a lot of things. The most important thing is to have SSD but in the future more than 1 game will use direct storage so there is also that.
  10. If cooler is inadquately mounted causing higher core temp on some cores then it will be more than 3-5°. Having some difference in core temp is normal. Here are mine for reference. Column to the left is temps at the time of screenshot (at pretty much idle). As you can see I have a delta of around 6°C. So yeah. Your temps are fine.
  11. I doubt that his PC is in the jungle. Humidity outside and inside are two different things. Inside it may get mouldy. Which is not good.
  12. Unless you actually game on two monitors you will not see a difference. So feel free to plug it into your GPU with no noticable penalty. You're running in single channel and that cuts your bandwith in half.
  13. Your 1 RAM stick is holding you back. Also why use a USB dock for display out? Surely that's gonna make it even worse.
  14. Seems like you're in hibernation mode. Try disable that. Open CMD as admin and run command powercfg /hibernate off Retry.
  15. DDR5 memory controller is on the memory sticks. You probably need to set some timings manually. The corsair mems are they labeled Expo?
  16. 3600 is an overclock which the memory is rated and tested for. 3200 is not overclock that is what they mean by supported speed. Now, even if the 3600 speed won't work it is not gonna break anything. It may just make your system unstable of sorts. Whether or not it works depends on several factors, but try it. If you encounter issues you can ask for help on this forum with whatever problem is occuring. It should work fine but some kits especially 32gb kits may cause issues (I run mine at 2666 MHz and don't even get me started on those Kingstons that I removed from my PC)...
  17. If you unlink it you can't transfer the licence, as I said. It has to be linked. No offline time is needed. The old PC will have it's licence deactivated. I am still using my Windows 7 licence from my old HP machine. Upgraded to 8 Pro, then 10. Then moved to another machine, then upgraded to 11 and moved to this machine. 4 versions of Windows on 3 machines. I paid 300 bucks for that HP and 20 bucks to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro.
  18. If the licence is RETAIL you can move it to and from computers as you see fit if you use a MS account and the licence is linked to the account. If it is OEM it can't. How to check: Open cmd and type and run slmgr /dli Look in the window that appears for RETAIL channel, OEM, etc.
  19. If it's that humid, no it's not good at all for electronics or the lifeforms present.
