if a bios is released, then it works. Don't assume they released the BIOS on purpose to make your motherboard die. Because then they will lose money to repair your motherboard. BIOS should work. It will not work only if something goes wrong (power surge, crash)
It is called beta because 5-series support on older motherboards is unstable on some boards, but anything below a 5-series CPU will work as expected.
You can't. It is a laptop
HDMI there is just for projection. Your laptop is not designed for 144Hz anyways (GTX 1650).
And usually HDMI bus is directly connected to laptop's shared Optimus bandwidth (which is controlled by your iGPU)
If one of the GIGABYTE GPU fans gets stuck (jammed, doesn't spin for some reason), then the other fans start spinning at full speed to compensate for the broken fan.
You should check if all your fans are in working condition. Or just exchange your GPU (RMA)
16GB is NOT OVERKILL
If you want Dual Channel then pick 8gb + 4gb with same Clock Speed
Only issue is, you will have to set them manually. XMP will not work
It depends. Windows and MacOS support FULL file system Navigation, Desktop Programms, Window UI, Games and etc
Whereas iPad OS has some simple file navigation, uses apps. Has no Windows UI what so ever. Atleast you can draw beautifully on it.
