    ok thanks

    i am using the ryzen 5 3600 but anthony said in the 'FREE performance for Ryzen! - 1usmus ClockTuner for Ryzen' video that agesa 1.0.0.4 combo pi was needed to run the clocktuner software
  3. Joealex24
    there would be the chance of bricking the motherboard wouldn't there?

    Anthony said for the ryzen ctr thing your bios needs to be using at least 1.0.0.4 combo pi. I'm using the msi x470 gaming plus max and in the bios it says BIOS Ver: E7B79AMS.H40. Am I all good?

    Does a dual monitor arm exist that would look normal with just one monitor in case I want to add another monitor later and still be able to use the same arm for both?
  6. Joealex24
    I'm guessing it isn't under full load at 65c but 65c is completely fine

    To check if you need more ram run a game and some things in the background to replicate how you would use it normally worst case scenario and check task manager to see how much ram you are using. It is easy to swap out the 4gb stick. Just buy another 8gb stick of the same frequency and preferably the same manufacturer if you can tell. If you want to check if the CPU is thermal throttling, download cinebench r20 (it's on the Microsoft store) and hwinfo. Run cinebench and look at the max CPU temp in hwinfo. Temperatures shouldn't be going above 85-90 c. If they are you may be able to fix this by turning the fan speeds up in the bios or if not an air cooler.

    I'm using an old HP prebuilt (hp prodesk 400 g1 sff) to build a nas server. It only has 4gb of ram so I ordered 2x8gb ddr3 @1600 off ebay but it won't boot with either f the sticks in either of the slots and it boots with the original stick in either of the slots. With one of the sticks it continuously beeps 5 times and gives a red light and doesn't boot. With the other stick it still doesn't boot but doesn't go red and only does the beeps once and then the CPU fan ramps up. Could I be doing anything wrong or are the dimms broken and I need to try to get a refund?

    A wifi extender plugs into the wall and uses the electricity cables as ethernet cables. You can connect to it via wifi or ethernet
  10. Joealex24
    if you have an android phone or tablet you can use the wifi analysis app to check your wifi signal. Best case would be being plugged straight into the router but I'm guessing that's not possible so yeah you might want to get a wifi extender and be wired into that. Or maybe a mesh system if you need better signal throughout your house. With a mesh system, when you connect you will automatically be switched from one disc to another rather than having to go to settings and change your network whenever you move room.

    I'm trying to port forward for rocket league using a technicolor router. Do I just put any random number from 1,6000 in lan port or is there a way to find out what it should be?
  12. Joealex24
    Yeah I've heard of that might try at some point. Turned off smart fan mode so they are now constantly at 2000rpm and averaged just over 70c in cinebench r23 peak 75c which I think is good? The fan curve mustn't have been reaching 2000 for some reason.

    thermal paste was spread perfectly across the whole ihs not spilling over the sides
  14. Joealex24
    can I remove the cooler to check without having to reapply thermal paste?
  15. Joealex24
    I moved the fan curve up after the first test run. Pretty sure its at 100% past 75c or something so like 2000rpm for these fans. If I take the cooler off can I just put it back on or do I have to clean and reapply the thermal paste? I don't want to redo the thermal paste right now but can do in the next day or two (I might get some isopropyl alcohol then as well).
  16. Joealex24
    there was just a piece of plastic which I took off yeah

    Today I installed my new NH-U12A on my R5 3600, replacing the stock cooler. I've gone from idle temps of 38-40c to 33-34c. My cinebench r23 multi core runs went from 9111 points and 92c peak 89-90c average to a 9173, 89 - - and 9148 with peak 89c and average 86c. This doesn't seem like anywhere near the expected performance increase :/. I'm using pbo. Case is meshify c. I did clean the IHS with a microfibre cloth before applying the paste but maybe I didn't apply the paste very well?

    Why throw away money?
  19. Joealex24
    No it's not ok or no its not bad?
  20. Joealex24
    Looking to sell some game keys I have that I'm not going to use so may as well sell them. Thought G2A is probably the best site for that but is it bad that they want your passport details? Maybe it's completely fine but don't know if I should be giving away my data like that.

    Hi, I've just started mining with nicehash, realised there can be quite large fees for exchanging or transferring the bitcoin. Please could someone fill me in on the best way of transferring/exchanging/saving bitcoin earned on nicehash. Bit confused by all the different types of wallets and stuff.
  22. Joealex24
    I realised mcafee was quarantining loads of files everytime there was a problem because you can't just exclude a whole folder in mcafee. Good point about the fees I didn't think they were that bad because nobody really mentioned them.
  23. Joealex24
    i use mcafee and have excluded it the installer in the real time scanning thing so i dont think that is the problem. I have managed to download the installer, just when i try to run it i get that message. When I go to setting in windows, windows security, virus and threat protection it says MCAFEE virus scan and microsoft defender antivirus periodic scanning isn't ticked so I don't think it is to do with mcafee anti-virus or windows I could be wrong though
  24. Joealex24
    No I was using the top one there 3.0.6.0
  25. Joealex24
    I have downloaded the installer after whitelisting the file in my mcafee virus protection software but when I try and run the installer, it says 'This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default apps settings page. Anyone know how to solve this?
