    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from Moonzy in MSI Laptop won't turn on. Charging light does work.   
    Yeah, it's about 3 years at this point. Not very old, but not new either. Since my brother doesn't give much crap about his laptop, he often left it charging 24/7, forgot to turn it off, and don't maintain it often. I'll take it to a repair shop and if the fix is to expensive, I'll try to look for new laptops. It sucks tho, last night it worked perfectly, and in the span of one night, everything goes south really quickly. Thanks for trying to help bro! ❤️

    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from jumbo9i0 in Which panel is good for eyes?   
    I don't think here's an actual "Healthy display/panel", but there are some things that can help your eyes.
     
    1. Try to add back-lighting behind your monitor. This can greatly reduce your eye strain as your eyes wouldn't have to adjust too much due to brightness difference.
     
    2. Try to sit a bit further away from screen. I used to play Dirt Rally 2 feet from the screen, after trying to play from 3 feet away from my screen, my eyes feel much better, and greatly reduce eyestrain.
     
    3. Consider using filtered glasses. One of those glasses that has a special filter on its lens can also help.
     
    4. Once in awhile, try to get off your computer, look somewhere far, for example, you can spend 1-2 good minutes looking outside, across the room (assuming your room/office is pretty big), or just look somewhere further than your usual distance to your screen.
     
    Here are two other thing that I wouldn't recommend, but also good (according to research):
     1. Eye exercise. moving your eyeballs here and there, you can find many "workout" like this online.
     2. Blue light filter. I wouldn't actually say this is the best way to go, but it can help you get better sleep. In my own experience, this blue light filter thing doesn't help too much on eye strains, but great at helping you get a better sleep.
     
     
    Most of those are from my personal experience, but as Linus say, your mileage may vary.

    For newbies, it's important to kniw that we all start at the same point. It's okay to be unknowledgeable at first, you're going to become better as time goes by.
     
    Feel free to ask about something if you don't know the answer, we all from the tech community are friendlier than some might think.
     
    Thank you.

    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from ISmokeAir in Hp refresh cycle   
    It is safe to assume that most company refresh their high-end lineup within 2 months of a significant component is released.
     
    Unfortunately, I do not have a convincing evidence that HP will refresh their Spectre lineup within 2 months of Intel Comet Lake S release.
     
    I apologize for the inability to provide sufficient information, and convincing evidence.

    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from denver2020 in GTX1660ti vs RTX 2060 which to buy   
    So, if both graphics card are in the same price, get the RTX 2060, they're the same price anyway. If the 2060 is a bit more expensive, ask yourself whether you want ray-tracing or not.
     
    Also note that ray-tracing in 2060 at high-ultra setting can be pretty choppy experience in some games. Ask yourself whether or not the 2060 is worth it for you. And please don't let anyone from the internet make choices for you. Take the advice, ask yourself, and decide. Because no one in the entire galaxy knows youself better than you.

    I'm not so much of an anime guy anymore (I quit 1-2 years ago), but there are (mostly older titles) animes that I can recommend you in case you haven't watch:
     
    1. Akame Ga Kill! (Personal favourite: action)
    2. Yuru Camp (very chill & relaxing)
    3. Black Bullet (pretty good, nothing amazing)
    4. Grand Blue (best comedy)
    5. Yamada kun to 7 nin no Majo. (Personal favourite)
    6. IS: Infinite Stratos (also pretty good)
     
    There are definetly more titles that I would recommend, but I can not get myself to remember the titles. I quit anime about 1-2 years ago.

    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from Letgomyleghoe in R5 3600X Temps?   
    The common healthy temperature of CPU at load is normally below 80c. Unfortunately, from the information given, I can not colclude whether or not the temperature could be harming your system performance.
     
    As far as my knowledge extend, the normal CPU temperature at idle is around 30-40c. 
     
    I suggest you do a stress test. Don't worry as stress test will not harm your CPU nor any other components. If your CPU gets too hot, the CPU will throttle itself, sacrificing performance in order to get lower temperatures.
     
    If you are concerned about your temperature, you can consider undervolting your CPU. There are many guides on YouTube (including an LTT video) that discuss this procedure in depth.
     
    If you don't want to play with Undervolting the CPU (Because it can be scary for some people) you can try to get an aftermarket or a better model cooler instead.
     
    Note: Overheating CPU usually doesn't harm the CPU itself, but will hold back performance as the CPU throttles to a "safe temperatures". Also, undervolting isn't too much of a risk as long as you follow the many guides on the internet.
     
    EDIT: Thank you to @scuff gangfor pointing out my mistake. I have edited this post and hope to deliver a more accurate informations. [EDIT: Normal CPU temperature at idle should be 30c - 40c]
     
    I deeply apologize for the misinformation I have given.

    I am not much of a motherboard expert, but in my opinion, you should get the RTX 2060 since it delivers nearly the same performance as the RX 5700 XT while delivering Ray-Tracing.

    Thank you! 
    I assume this is a response to my post eariler. 
     
    I apologize for not clarifying erailer that Apple does not has the perfect customer service. But, as for the information that I currently have, it is safe to assume that Apple does has some of the better customer service compared to other similar companies.
     
    And, I should have clarified this earlier, that by "better customer service" is about they having many retail stores and "engineers" that can make the service process a lot easier and faster than company like Razer, or Dell.
     
    Althrough Apple is very well-known for Keyboard issues, expensive service cost, and some questionable strategies, they are (service wise, excluding prices) better than some other company. And it should be noted that the 2020 MacBook Air hasn't been known to have the same keyboard issues as the older MacBooks has.
     
    Note: This information is based on most people's experience from various feedbacks on the internet. Your personal experience may differ, and I do not state that your experience will be perfectly smooth, or completely bad in the posts.

    Azura Lightfeilt got a reaction from lal12 in i7 8550u why so trash?   
    Hello, it looks like your laptop has a thermal heat issue.
     
    This is very widely known in the notebook community that some notebooks just doesn't have sufficient cooling system, and hinders the full performance of the notebook components.
     
    From your story, I think there are two things that you can do to get your temps a little bit cooler.
     
    First, you can try to undervolt your CPU. There are many guides and tutorials on YouTube, and it can really shave off that high temps. Perhaps you can try to do it.
     
    Second, you can try repasting your CPU. This is a bit more difficult since it is involving opening your notebook and unscrewing some of the components, and re-doing your thermal paste. Again, there are quite a lot of video on the internet about this procedure.
     
    Warning! Do it at your own risk! The two solution I gave above might void your ongoing warranty! I do not take any responsibility on any damages that might be done by the procedures.
     
    I have personally done Undervolting, which is far less risky than repasting. But, if you do have and confident of some experience in opening your laptop, re-pasting is a good solution too.

    It is predicted that AMD will release their 4000 Ryzen series around Q3 this year. That translates to around July-September. However, release dates might be affected by the current pandemic. But, if you can wait, I think it is best to wait as the current component prices is affected by the current crisis.
     
    Edit: Apparently, Lisa Su, has confirmed that the next Ryzen WILL be released in Q3 this year. Here's some refrence:
