Hi Everyone, I would like some advise on this matter, I've been out of the loop with development in the GPU space for quite some time now. So I thought I'd ask here, since a lot of people are far more well versed on this subject than I am. I'm looking to upgrade my GTX 1080 on a budget. For most of my use cases the 1080 is still serving me very well. However, my main issue is that I run Linux. Which in most cases is fine, however for things, especially Wayland AMD is way more ahead of the curve. This is the reason I'd like to switch to an AMD GPU. I'm preferably looking for something with a bit of a performance increase over my 1080, while still hoping to stay below $400. I mainly use my PC for regular browsing and occasional gaming. With most games I play the 1080 is still plenty strong, but a little bit of a performance Increase would be great. I was looking at the following cards: - RX 6600 XT - RX 6700 XT - RX 7600 XT (maybe, no release yet) If some people could share their suggestions/experiences with me, I'd highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance :D

Yes, I had to, the noctua mounting uses it's own backplate

I have to loosen them almost all the way in order for it to boot, even one turn that it just hangs on to the thread seems to be too much

So, today I got my NH-U12S in. After i'd installed it though, my motherboard bootloops, and gives a CPU error. However whenever either loosen the mounting screws of the cooler entirely (no pressure) or change the cooler for my previous cooler (Corsair H100i) it works fine again. Does anyone have any Idea what the issue could be? I've checked both the motherboard and CPU and neither looks anything out of the ordinary. Motherboard: MSI z170a Pro Carbon gaming CPU: intel i7-6700k Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Settling is such a weak mindset, you accept what has happened. Inperfection of a craft.... Yada yada yada

Whilst I agree that by running an open beta you accept some risk in form of bugs/buggy behavior, crashes, data loss/corruption. It is the way in which this instance happened that I believe OnePlus fucked up. Mainly due to the Update causing the issue being installed automatically instead and giving the user only an option to restart after which the device is wiped. While usually the user has to install the update theirselves. Another reason I don't think this applies here is because the actual software/update that was installed that caused the issue was actually the stable branch, thus not the open beta, hence it should have never had this behavior build in in the first place. I might be lucky enough to have my important data backed up. But this is still a big mistake IMO

Summary OnePlus seems to have made a mistake while rolling out their latest update. This mistake has caused some phones running the Open Beta version of their operating system (Oxygen OS) to automatically install an update to the stable branch of their OS, triggering a full wipe of the system. This has caused users to lose tall the data they hadn't backed up. Oneplus has since halted the rollout of their latest OTA due to "investigating user reports" and have confirmed this to be a bug. Quotes My thoughts As one of the affected users I believe OnePlus has a major screw up on their hands. Automatically installing an update is already bad enough. But also letting an error slip that causes the phone to perform a full wipe is something that should never be possible without the users express signoff.

Hello, First some context. I have a desk with a blue yeti on an arm above it. My headphones are directly plugged into the yeti, due to this, I can both hear my computer audio, and monitor the sound of the mic with no latency. My issue is however that I now have my headphone wire hanging form the yeti above my setup. What I would like it some way to have the headphone cables not hanging down from my microphone in front of my screens. What I was thinking was either 'buy an extension cable' and just plug that into the mic and route it behind my screens. The issue I've had with that though, is that there was a lot of noise that wasn't there before on the headphones, (maybe a crappy cable). What I would like to know is. - Is this possible in the way I want? - What would be the kind of cable I am looking for? Thanks for the help in advance. edit: The audio monitor output from the blue yeti mic is a 3.5mm jack.

then i'd probably personally go for the GTX 1660 or GTX1660 TI You could take a look at amd's offering, im however not really well versed in AMD Gpu's

id say either a GTX 1660ti or a RTX 2060 depending on your budget and need for real time ray tracing

I personally use the old version of the H100i on an i7-6700k. It runs like a champ even while overclocked and under full load, my temps don't go above the 70 C I'd say the H100i is going to perform with no problems, even while overclocked.

Yes it's possible by disconnecting drives. I would only recommend this if windows is booting in BIOS mode though. One small addition, if windows does not immediately show up in your grub menu on boot. You might need to boot into Ubuntu first and run the following command "sudo update-grub" This should add windows as a menuentry to grub. I windows boots in UEFI mode I would suggest the following: I pressume you want to use your entire new ssd for linux. When installing Ubuntu (with all drives connected) you will be given the choice of installation type. Here you should pick "Something else" this indicates you want to define your partitions yourself. After that you'll be greeted by a window where you can browse your drives and create partitions. Here you can also find a dropdown that sais "device for bootloader installation", in this dropdown you can either select your windows drive or your new drive. - If you choose to select your windows drive, the installer will install (without touching the windows bootloader) the grub bootloader to the efi partition on your windows drive. this is the way I usually do things and has as consecuence that all bootloaders are in the same place. This however has as downside, might your windows drive ever fail. you will also lose the bootloader for linux and will have to restore it (you don't lose any data, but the process of reinstalling a bootloader isn't a fun one) - If you choose to select your new drive, the installer wil create a new EFI partition on your new drive and install the grub bootloader onto that. This has in my opinion the undesired effect of bootloaders being all over the place. this might be a good choice if either, you want some more redundancy in case your windows drive fails, you don't trust the installer near your windows bootloader or you simply just prefer this way. On to creating the actual partitions, you can decide for yourself what you would like, however ill give you a simple example: Swap partition with the size of your ram And a ext4 partition with mount point / that fills out the rest of the drive. When you press next, the installer will ask you to confirm your changes so you can double check. and if you accept you should be good to go. After this process you should go into your uefi and select ubuntu as your prefered uefi bootloader. Hopefully this awnsers your question. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.

You can connect to the D and F drives no problem once you've installed linux. You don't have to do anything during install, you can simply mount them once you've entered linux. About installing a dual boot, I need some more information. What distro are you planning to install? Is your windows drive MBR or GTP formatted? (you can find a guide on how to check here)

Hello, A friend of mine has got a new pc. The problem however is that it randomly reboots after some time. The time between reboots is random. Specs: Apu: Ryzen 5 2400g Ram: G. Skill DDR4 Ripjaws V 2 x 16GB 3200 hz Mb: AsRock AB350M Pro4 Ssd: Samsung 960 Evo 250gb Psu: Corsair VS450 Things I've tried: Updating drivers. Updating bios. Checking the motherboard for loose connections. The pc does not give an error message when it reboots. It just seems like it loses power and reboots. The reboots occur randomly, but once they've started they occur more frequently. The max cpu temp under stress is 55 degrees celcius. It does not matter what programs are running. However load does seem to make it occur more quickly. Im at a loss, I've tried everything i could think of. Could someone please help me? Solution: well, this has been quite the ride. After returning both the motherboard and cpu to the vendor for a replacement, they maked the CPU as faulty and replaced it. After this the problems persisted however. Turned out the motherboard was faulty aswell. All problems are now solved after replacing both the CPU and MB. Thanks to everyone who replied.

I seem to have found the problem. My LAN driver uses the Killer control center. This prioritized my internet browser(where I ran the speedtest) very low. Giving my browser a higher priority in the killer control center fixed my connection speed. Thanks for the help.
