  1. I was about mid-way through writing a second paragraph then the page reloaded ... so I'll just shorten what I said before. One of the major reasons I'm getting this is the small heatsink and fan, but also I have a second GPU in the slot below it. Its an old card from about 2006 from an old server I had. I only use it because two of my monitors have VGA input and the 1660 doesn't support that. It covers about 1/3 of the fan so that definitely affects my temps. I feel like if I can mount a 120mm aio or something similar to my gpu, I can avoid all the fan noise, bad temps, and maybe improve the looks a bit. If anyone can think of a better options lease lmk. Also, I was messing with fan curves all last night but I couldn't get a good noise to temp ratio. I also swapped the thermal paste with arctic silver 5 and that improved my temps by a bit.
  2. If you look at the pictures I link below, you can see I have a very tiny GPU. It's a PNY GTX 1660 Super. It has a single fan, and is VERY loud sometimes. It starts to sound like a jet engine every time I play a game. I believe its due to the small cooler and only 1 fan so it has to keep the RPM's high. I was wondering if I am able to water cool it. I have room for a 120mm rad at the back of the case so maybe I can put one there. Can I water cool it? And if so how would I go about doing that?

    New RK61?

    When downloading the software from their google drive, make sure you make a copy to your drive and download the copy. Google marks it as a virus for some reason.

    New RK61?

    Hi to anyone who's reading this, I just made a video about the keyboard and I'll link it below. I made it longer than it could have been but I kind of just pointed my webcam at the keyboard and started recording. If anyone knows anything about the RK61 with hot-swappable switches, feel free to reply here

    New RK61?

    I just got the Royal Kludge RK61 today. There's a few other weird things with this keyboard. 1. The USB-C port is on the left side, however, I've always seen it in the middle in pictures/videos. 2. There is no bluetooth (I think I might have bought the wired-only version though) 3. The switches are hot-swappable, unlike all other RK61's I've seen. I thought maybe it was a fake, but I looked at the hardware ids and found out the PID was 8016. This PID is also listed in RK's driver list, but it was added February 10th. Could this be a new model? I haven't been able to find this keyboard anywhere else but in Amazon Q and A's
  6. I just found the solution. The driver that I had installed was outdated. I installed the latest driver for the GPU and it works properly now. Thanks to everyone who helped me!!
  7. Thanks for looking in the manual for me, I haven't been able to find a menu where I can disable crossfire. I've been looking in the bios for about 25 mins and I can't find anything about crossfire. I have an AMD and Nvidia gpu in my system right now, could that be the issue?
  8. I just went through my bios and couldn't find anything again. I have the AsRock bios, I'm not sure if maybe someone else if familiar with this bios and could help.
  9. I want to know if I am able to add a second graphics card in my PC for more video outputs. Today I bought 2 dell monitors that only have VGA inputs. I have a GTX 1660 Super in my PC, but I used up the DP and HDMI ports, leaving just the DVI-D. I can't get a DVI-D to dual VGA adapter so I looked around and found a GPU from an old server. It has a DMS-59 connector on it, and I have a DMS to dual VGA adapter which is just what I need. I thought I could just install the GPU in the second PCIe slot, however, I get no display output. When I remove my 1660, and leave the older GPU in the bottom slot, I get video out of the dell monitors through the older GPU, so I know it works. Is there any reason I cant get video out of both of them? I have an AsRock B450m steel legend motherboard and a Ryzen 5 1400 if that helps at all.
  10. Have you checked gpu temps? I had an issue where my pc would shut off because my old gpu overheated after 30 mins
  11. My Pixel 4 XL shuts off when I put it down. Even the slightest tap on the table turns it off. When it shuts off, it won't turn back on unless a charger is connected. Even when the battery is 90%+ it still does this. I had to go all day without it working because I was not home and without a charger. Maybe it's a loose connector in the phone? In the video I'll link you can see it shut off when I put it down. Then I hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Nothing works so I grab my charger and it gets to the Google screen. Then I set it down gently and it turns right back off again. Even with the charger connected it didn't turn back on the second time.
  12. Update - It's happened three more times since last night. When I plugged in the phone the last time it happened(5 mins ago), I got a battery symbol with a question mark in it. Does this mean I have a battery issue? Or might it be a motherboard issue?
  13. I was at school today and I was using my phone like normal. I put it in my pocket for a minute to talk to a friend and when I took it back out, it refused to turn on. I held the power button for about 30 seconds and nothing happened. My phone was around 90% and was working fine prior to this. The only way I was able to get it to turn back on was to plug it in to the charger for a second. Since then, it's happened 3 more times. 2 of those were in school within 5 mins of each other, and one of them was at home. I am updated to the latest os version, Android 11, and I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to prevent this or is it a hardware issue?
  14. I would list them on eBay and see what happens. It may take a few months until someone shows interest in it. I've done this before and it takes a while but someone might want it.
  15. Ok thank you, it's a fairly small card so I just want to make sure I can find the right cooler.
  16. After my RX 570 died, I got a PNY GTX 1660 Super. I was only able to choose from what my local best buy had at the time and this was the best card. While playing games, it gets pretty toasty and very loud. Sometimes I have to take off my headset to listen to it for a moment. It's a single fan GPU which I believe is why this is loud. I looked everywhere online for a way to make it run cooler and quieter but to no avail. I want to know if anyone knows of a dual fan aftermarket cooler that will fit on this card. I'll attach a picture below to show the mounting hole locations. I want to go with a dual fan cooler because I believe those run cooler and quieter. Is there a way I can use an older GTX cooler on this card instead? Thanks!
  17. I ended up getting a GTX 1660 Super, I've spent hours on the 570 and nothing seems to work
  18. I just posted in the GPU section of that forum page, I hope to resolve this soon!
  19. I've looked everywhere there and I can't find the right bios version. The card I have isn't even listed there.
  20. Yeah I think it's a Dell OEM. I'm not sure where my friend got it from. My system won't even post with just that graphics card in the PC so I have to put another GPU in my pc for signal and then put the 570 in the second slot. I get a code 43 error in device manager. Just to clarify, the card has been working good for weeks before this happened.
  21. Recently my friend gave me his old RX 570x 8gb and all of the sudden it stopped working. I narrowed it down to a bios issue but I cannot find the right bios anywhere. The device ID is 1002 67DF - 1028 1722. I've looked everywhere online and nothing matches this. I'l link a picture of what GPU-Z says about the card. If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated.
  22. I still haven't been able to find any info about it online. I don't know if I'm looking in the right place
