  1. I'm pretty sure I didn't have too much expectation when I expected that my laptop shouldn't crash because of bad SSD (hynix BC511) it goes to high 80C while gaming, also i didn't expect too much when I expected that the new bios update wouldn't kill performance and improve thermals as they promised
  2. So last month I bought a laptop called Dell G5 SE 5505 with a Ryzen 5 4600h and a Rx5600m graphics card, (Dave2D reviewed the laptop and said the graphics card is faster than an RX2060, most reviews from reputable sources weren't has as negative as they should have been) but this laptop has had only problems since release, partly due to dell and partly due to windows, so the issues I have are faced by a significant amount of people, these issues include over heating of laptop (I know gaming laptops run hot but not this hot), bad drivers, a monstrosity called smartshift which causes the CPU to thermal throttle and GPU to power throttle and bad SSDs which get so hot that they crash the system. What does dell do? they release a bios update which doesn't help much for thermals but under-clocks the GPU so heavily that it performs like a gtx1650, when you reach out to dell support they force you to reinstall windows and install that slow shitty bios, they send an older version of AMD radeon driver so that every damn time windows updates our driver is downgraded (older version gets installed without consent) you can't turn off SMT even if you want to and guess what this laptop is now under "long term support only" that is they wont release any bios update to fix all the shit they did. The biggest problem is bad engineering, the heat sink is so poorly engineered that it doesn't dissipate heat effectively and bad thermal paste application doesn't help either. (You can verify this stuff for others too if you check the subreddit r/DELLG5SE) for the past month it hasn't been gaming but troubleshooting for my free time, when I contact dell support most of the times they ask me to the same goddamn thing again and again, Why TF should I need to turn off turbo boost in the first place!!! When I try to game right now, my GPU is always bottlenecked, not due to heat (new thermal paste helped with the GPU at least) but with power because smartshift somehow decides that that specific game needs CPU to be faster even when it is over heating so it takes power from GPU and shoves it to the CPU causing even greater thermal problems. DONT buy the Dell G5SE
  3. Yeah, so I was wondering since an nvme ssd uses PCIE -x4 slot (same as in thunderbolt), will it be possible to adapt an extra m.2 slot (nvme compatible) to thunderbolt?? I may we way wrong here, please do correct me in that case.
  4. I changed my drive setting to ahci in bios and it bricked my motherboard, after RMA I bought an ssd but am scared to change it to AHCI. what to do? it is a gigabyte h61 ms
  5. Just ordered the aforementioned headphones for about 3200 inr, is this a good deal? I am a metal head ( lead guitarist )
