If you cant get into the Bios I would suggest you try to unplug all connected Harddrives/SSDs/NVMEs and remove all but 1 Ram stick and then try reboot again.

That has worked for me before and got me to show the Bios

max a couple minuits

Then i better dont update mine

If you need more than 2 carriers, the US phone won't do very well.

I have never used more then 1 carrier.

There is plenty of call apps that make calls over the internet, some are even for free.

@jaslion thx for your response

Import fees and esim are not an issue at all.

Will have a look at the bands. I wish apple would have a document about the differences between EU / US Models of their IPhones.

Anyone knows the differences between the Iphone 14 Pro sold in the US vs EU??

Here in Germany the Iphone 14 Pro starts at 1300€ and in Anchorage I can get it for 1000USD, thats a 30% difference in price......

Is there any reason not to buy the US Iphone and use it mainly in the EU (Germany) ???

Hi guys,

I got a wierd problem regarding my nvme SSD.

I got a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB nvme m.2    

It was running just fine for over a year, but like 6 month ago my system began to freeze from time to time. At some point that happened so often that I needed to trouble shoot the problem. I found out that it is my nvme SSD.
In my system i got my old Samsung 950 Evo 500GB Sata SSD(windows is installed here) + my Samsung NVME 970 Evo Plus NVME(for games).

Now to my problem, my 970 Evo Plus keeps "crashing" when its beeing used. Beeing used means, when I play a game that are installed on it. If I open "My Computer" the SSD is there but i cannot double click it. If i do so, my whole system freezes and i have to press the reset button. I have tried to install it inside the other nvme slot on my mainboard with no change. I also tried to install it in a PCIE to NVME thingy i bought on amazon, with no change. As soon as i load the 970 it crashes. When I use the Samsung Magician programm to benchmark the 970 SSD it takes 3 Seconds for my whole system to be stuck. Only way out is the reset button.

I am certain the SSD is not faulty.
When this problem began i brought it back to the store. They send it back to Samsung and 4 weeks later i got a brand new SSD. I also gave it to a friend and let him test it. He had no problems at all.

My system:

the whole system is custom watercooled

Intel Core I5 8600K @5.2Ghz 1.38volt
Asus ROG Strix Z370-F Gaming Bios 2401
DDR 4 32GB 3000Mhz CL15 @3200Mhz CL15
Nvidia GTX 1080TI @2100Mhz + 6000Mhz ram

I have tried to run the system without any overclock. No change, the SSD still crashes.

I have no Idea what the problem is. I start thinking its the mainboard. Anyone here got an Idea what i could do to find out whats the problem?

I would go with an 9700k or 9900K. Put a good cooler on it and OC it to 5Ghz all cores or more.

Gaming wise they perform the same. Even for streaming 8 Cores should be enouph, but if you dont care the price difference and really want that hyperthreading then go for the 9900k.

9700k and 9900k still beat the AMD CPUs in pure gaming on CPU intensive games.

Whats the highest Temp of your GPU during stress test/Benchmark?

if you play in 1080p I would take the 2060 Super, it got more then enouph power

Monitor - 27" VA Panel 144 Hz and 1 ms

What is the resolution?

Thx m8

Okay, so what I would do is set windows to 5.1. That will tell the games to output surround sound. Then for the sound card settings, I would do 7.1 headphones, and then also enable sbx surround. I believe the importance of setting 7.1 headphones is to enable the headphone amp and also make sure you get the headphone version of sbx processing (as opposed to the speaker version). Then sbx surround is the hrtf, which allows you to differentiate front and back better on headphones in games with surround sound.

 

Since you are getting hrtf from the sound card, you want to disable hrtf in games that offer it. For example, you would turn off dolby atmos for headphone in overwatch, or turn off hrtf in pubg.

Sounds good, I gonna try it that way.

You know where I can enable sbx sound? Cant find anything named like this in the Sound Blaster Connect software

Or is it the first Option in this Screenshot? "Surround"

Hi,

I am using a Sennheiser Game One Headset with a Sound BlasterX AE-5

https://en-us.sennheiser.com/gaming-headset-game-one

https://en.creative.com/p/sound-cards/sound-blasterx-ae-5

I am not sure how i should configure it. In Windows should I set it to Stereo or 5.1 Surround?

And what about the configuration menue inside the Sound Blaster Connect software? Should I use the 7.1 Headphones or the Direkt HP option? Cause the Game One only got Stereo....

Or maybe select 5.1 in Windows and Stereo inside the software?

I am looking for the best setup to play mainly First-Person Shooters so localization is really important. Maybe someone has a clue?

Thx in advance!
