  1. By "changing uefi settings" do you mean clicking "load UEFI defaults"? (This has been done.) The CSM says "to enable, please install an external graphics card". I can't find "secure boot".
  2. Greetings, I just sold my RX 7600 and can't boot into my OS without graphics card now. My NZXT N7 Z790 motherboard has the latest BIOS (7.01). I reset it (the display wouldn't recognize the output prior to that. Was using DP with the GPU, now HDMI). My CPU is an Intel i5-13600K. I am brought straight into the UEFI each time. My SSD (Kingston KC3000) shows up there. But the boot section is empty. I'm attaching pictures of sub-menus I think might be relevant. I'd be grateful for any ideas. (My plan is to get an RX 7800 XT at the end of the month.)
  3. Hi, I'm planning to buy Klipsch The Fives 2.0 bookshelf powered speakers for music playback in the basement. I do have an Asus Essence STX II internal sound card in my main/gaming desktop, to which my Edifier S550 Encore 5.1 speakers are connected. But my desk is in another room. So I'm wondering if I should take the sound card out to use with the Klipsch speakers (my motherboard can handle 5.1 on its own), or if The Fives' built-in DAC would be just as good. Any advice or information is welcome. Thanks!
  4. Greetings, The 13,3" MacBook Pro (i5 dual core 2,9-3,3 GHz with Intel Iris Graphics 550) of a friend gets too hot while gaming (Sims 4 through Origin). So I'm looking to install a program with which I can limit the max. framerate. I don't have any knowledge with that OS. Origin, the game and the OS settings app don't seem to have such a setting. I've searched through search engines and in the app store with no results. Does such a software exist? Is Aferburner compatible? Maybe a kind of Intel driver Interface? Thank you in advance for any help.
  5. Sounds like a CPU or RAM bottleneck. What processor do you have & how much RAM?
  6. Do you really need that kind of CPU power? What do you intend on doing besides gaming? It's multiple times the performance of your current one. The fastest 8 core CPU only to run games seems like a waste. I don't believe we will have a new Nvidia GPU gen before Q2. And with Nvidia at launch you rarely get more performance for the same money anyway. I wouldn't wait. For the SSD, it depends for crucial RAID 0 is for you. It you work on very critical projects and never back-up, then I guess it makes sense... If you are a pretty normal user, than no, go for just one drive.
  7. It depends on the price difference. If it happens to be only 20 USD, I'd say go for the Ti - it's at 1080p on average 5% more powerful. If it's 40, don't, the value of the Super would be superior.
  8. I know but maybe Sapphire uses specific parts on their cards that don't play nice with my PSU, and components/PCB-configurations used by other manufacturers have a higher chance of being different than Sapphire's from one 5700 XT model to another.
  9. Greetings, So I got the Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse. When gaming, half of the time, I could hear various tones of coil whine over the GPU fan noise (rest of the system is silent), which is very unpleasant/irritating to me. I sent it back, and now I'm wondering if going with another brand instead of another same-GPU-based product from Sapphire (the Nitro) would increases the odds of this not happening again. I want a very quiet card, so besides the Nitro the 2 other candidates would be the Powercolor Red Devil & Asus Strix - whichever one is cheaper at the time of purchase. Is the Sapphire Nitro just as good as an option with no more coil whine risk with my configuration that the others?

  10. If only the semi-passive fan wasn't constantly turning on and off when there isn't a heavy load... and it makes a very annoying noise when doing so. I'm pretty sure this would solve the issue, but I would like to avoid that because I would have to spend 2h setting everything up again
  11. Greetings, I have the 2400G, and changed my motherboard from the Asrock AB350 Gaming-ITX to the Asrock B450 Gaming-ITX without an OS (Windows 10 64 bits) re-install, considering how almost identical these MBs are. I installed the drivers of the new MB, and un- (+DDU) and re-installed the Radeon driver However, since this hardware change, the screen doesn't detect a signal and so turns off after benchmark sequences or after leaving any game. Basically, as soon as the screen doesn't receive a signal for a second. When I press the monitor's power button, it then instantly shows what it is supposed to (benchmark score or desktop), as if nothing occurred. It would be a hassle to reinstall the OS, given how much optimization work I did to make it lighter. Does someone have an idea abt what I could try / what is causing this?

  12. Yes, it's Original Sin. Thank you We are tying to upgrade the OS to 18.04 but are having some difficulties. Will keep you posted.
  13. Greetings, A friend of mine would like to play the game Divinity on Ubuntu. Unfortunately I'm not familiar at all with that OS. The min. requirements according to the game is OpenGL4. When she looks at her system it says "OpenGL version 3.0 Mesa 18.0.0-rc4". She checked and believes 18.0.0 to be the lastest version (well this was 1,5 months ago). She doesn't have a dedicated GPU but has en Intel Haswell CPU. I checked and in theory the CPU supports OpenGL4.3. Sure the gaming performance might be bad, but it should at least launch, right? So it should be a driver/software issue, maybe despite her efforts, something is not up to date? We would be grateful for any tips.
