Hi all, I recently switched from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It may be important to note that I initially upgraded from a 3600 & RTX 3070 to a 5800X3D and 7900 XT, and was running a stress test with Prime95 & Furmark at once on a 750W PSU. The computer immediately shut down, so I upgraded to a 1000W PSU and don't have this issue anymore. They both run fine at the same time (could this have damaged by CPU/motherboard causing this issue?). I was idling fine on the 3600 around 35 C, but this 5800 idles around 65-70 C. I've asked around on Reddit and other forums and everyone seems to agree that these temps are way too high. From what other people post, I should be seeing around 30 to 40 C idling (when I say "idle", I mean with Discord, Steam, and HWiNFO open at once). I've tried the following: Disabled A-XMP in my BIOS (made no difference, so I turned it back on) Updated my BIOS Reset CMOS Swapped out the kryosheet I re-used from my 3600 for a new one Changing the cooler from a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 to a DeepCool Assassin IV Changing from a kryosheet to thermal paste Nothing I've done has changed the temps and I'm completely lost at this point. Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 32 GB (4x8 GB) DDR4 3200 RAM (3200 w/ A-XMP on) (if the brand matters it's TEAM Group TFORCE) MSI B450 Tomahawk (latest BIOS revision as of this post, not Tomahawk MAX) AMD 7900 XT Corsair RM1000E 1000W PSU I'm using HWiNFO to read my temps, and reading the Tctl/Tdie temp. Screenshot If anyone can point me in the right direction here as to what I'm doing wrong, I would GREATLY appreciate it. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling Windows, but I'm not sure how/why that would help.

So... After a while, I finally got around to installing my brand new Crucial MX500 4TB... and it isn't working. It does not show up in the Windows Explorer, but my BIOS does detect it. I am very confused... I also know that I plugged it into a working SATA-Port, namely no.2 - 5&6 don't work because I have a M.2 installed. I use the B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard btw. If anyone else experienced this issue with the Crucial MX500, please let me know. I don't want to realize I have bought a 300€ paperweight. Thanks!

We all share a home computer at home. (I have a laptop that I use for school stuff but this is about the computer) My family need Windows for their day to day tasks(Ive tried converting them but they wont lol) There is a 256gb ssd on there. I was considering having a triple boot with Windows 10 LTSC, Vanilla Arch with a tiling window manager ( my primary OS ), and Nobara for gaming. There is also a 512gb HDD that I would like to use primarily for storing files, not programs(this is for all 3). How much storage should I allocate for each OS on my SSD? ***My family members do not install any large programs on windows. Just the occasional productivity app or some small games (The software they install might account to around 30GB but nothing more)*** Arch will be my primary OS. I will be playing Minecraft and Terraria. I was hoping for a majority on Arch and equal space on Nobara and Windows.

Like the title says it says "No internet, secured". I've been struggling for like a day trying to figure this out. I've tried EVERYTHING. I've reset my internet 4 times, disabled and reenabled my drivers, network reset 10 times, restarted Windows, restarted my computer, changed the DNS, used power-shell, and nothing worked. My hotspot from my phone works but for some unforsaken reason my home wifi doesn't work. It worked at first after I first installed the drivers, then I installed some apps discord, steam, etc then I enabled EXPO. When I turned it back on it started the issues. It would stay then disconnect and say the phrase "No internet, secured" but when I reset my computer it would work and then stop again. After doing this forever, reseting it wasnt working anymore. Please help me in this.

I think it is best summed up by the support request I sent to ZOTAC: I sent this and got an automated response telling me a ZOTAC representative would get in contact within 24-72 hours. It's been 2 weeks so idk what to do at this point. An update on the "when connecting the display to the motherboard output all issues cease and the PC is perfectly stable" - this is also no longer the case. Doing that made the PC stable enough to get into Windows but as soon as I open a game or game engine the display freezes and it will BSOD if I wait for the DPC watchdog to time out. Got the BSOD information by launching CS2, leaving the main menu running for about a minute. Game froze, closed the game, then after about 90 seconds or however long it takes the DPC watchdog I got the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD (with heavy graphical artifacts). Zip attached, PC spec: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/WpBcCJ, OS is OEM x64 Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 Build 19045, NVIDIA driver is 537.42 (latest as of 30/09/2023). Couldn't get perfmon /report to finish collecting for some reason. Anything for me to try or does anyone have recommendations for how to get ZOTAC or the seller to replace this brick?

if i put this nogdm3.pref file in the preferences.d folder with this config Package: gdm3 Pin: release a=* Pin-Priority: -10 will it prevent an updates to the gdm3 manager the same way i did with snapd after removing it my reason for this need is that i had disabled gdm3 an removed it after installing lightdm an was very much pleased right up till a recent batch of updates to which crippled my rig an left me unable to login an after a bit of effort i reinstalled gdm3 an was able to but for what ever reason i cant get lightdm to work again right an cant get elevated privileges to work from nemo when i need to open as root to do some editing of some thing an also cant get synaptic manager to open either while running in ubuntu wayland mode like i was before far as i can tell this all stems back to the recent batch of updates an some kind of error with gdm3 , lightdm an the main release of xanmod i was running at the time going from 6.6.16 to 6.7 broke a lot of shit im currently running in wayland under 6.6.17-x64v3-xanmod1 lts on ubuntu 23.10 gaming is now stable but the other issues remain like i still cant get lightdm to work again without login fail (doesnt make it even to screen just goes black) an still cant get elevated privileges to work from nemo or package manager to run short of just doing a fresh install id like some info an or advice on a fix for all this or at least a way to block certain things from updating or reinstalling after i do a fresh os install to try to prevent this from happening again also after a fresh os install can i remove in replace/unistall the default ubuntu kernel an replace with the xanmod would my WiFi & Ethernet , an amd gpu drivers all still work?

Budget (including currency): 1000-1500 € Country: France Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: (in order of priority) Music Production and Music Mixing: Ableton Live 11, maybe upgrade to 12 ( for work ) Video Editing, Small animation creation: Blender and DaVinci Resolve ( for work ) Light 3D modeling: Auto Cad and TermoLog ( a software for buildings 3D modeling ) (for work) Gaming: EUIV, WoW, have a peek at more modern titles that I could not play before. (for fun! ) Philosophy of the build: I need a capable machine today, I can add/upgrade non-essential features in the future ( i.e. more storage). (This is why I think going with a DDR5 capable system would allow me to upgrade it in the future. Same goes with the 12th gen CPU, I chose a budget friendly platform that will allow me to upgrade up to 14th gen in the future... Is there something I am missing in my reasoning ? ) Additional Constraint: I have to relocate once per year in a different country in Europe for 2 months, so I need something "portable", some SFF build. Laptops seem to not give a good €/performance compared to desktops, plus they are not really upgradeable in the future. The build: PCPartPicker Part List: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/4ngLn6 CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor (€182.14 @ Amazon France) Motherboard: ASRock B760M-H/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard (€105.88 @ Alternate) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (€138.88 @ Alternate) Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (€102.27 @ Amazon France) Video Card: Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Video Card (€322.00 @ PowerLab) Case: Fractal Design Define 7 Mini MicroATX Mini Tower Case (€123.78 @ Amazon France) Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€129.99 @ Amazon France) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit (€141.88 @ Alternate) Total: €1246.82 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-02-29 10:33 CET+0100 Monitors: 2 Monitors Setup Peripherals: I already have all the basic peripherals, including an external audio interface The more USB ports the better, currently I'm forced to use USB hubs that cause some issues with MIDI keyboards. Here's what I currently hook up to my laptop: External Audio Interface Mouse dongle Keyboard dongle MIDI keyboard 2 external hard drives. ( in the future I will only use them for backup and transfer sound libraries on internal SSD, for now I'm forced to use them for "low-priority" sound banks) Why the Upgrade? I'm currently using a struggling Laptop which technically performs all the tasks that the new build should perform way better. (Current Laptop partial spec: CPU: intel i7-8550U GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M340 RAM: 8GB, 500ish GB SSD of some kind). The laptop is starting to crash once per week, I want to change it before it dies on me. So.. is this build even realistic ? Cheers

Hey! So I know that UEFI is the new fancy bios with all the fancy gui and secure boot and stuff. Legacy bios is the old one for MBR systems. However, I read that there is a performance difference when installing an Operating System from UEFI bios and LEGACY bios. Is this true? If yes, which one should I go for while installing the OS?(Windows, Linux dualboot)

Hi All, I was looking for some advice - consider me a noobie when it comes to electronics, power supplies and matching everything correctly. Please see the image attached for what I am hoping to achieve. To get something like this from the manufacturer of the wall panels is around £200. What I think I know: - I would need a plastic diffuser track to diffuse the LEDs for a more smooth light output - Need some LED strips, Power Supply, some form of controller - To avoid soldering I would most likely need to buy (e.g.) 5 1m strips and cut down 3 of them to get varying lengths and discard the extra LEDs. Not the most economical, i know, but I would really like to avoid much electronic work. What I would like: - I dont have a soldering Iron and would like to avoid doing this as I don't have any experience in it before - A relative plug an play solution, even if the different components are from different manufacturers (e.g. plugging LED strip into power with pre-existing connector) Nice to have: - Smart hope integration (Apple Homekit, or even app based) - Black cables to help hide (not a deal breaker) If anyone could advise/suggest how to do this and what components to use that would be much appreciated! Or if anyone know where I could get something similar to this without the £200 price tag that would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance, Callum

Hi! So, I want to have my gaming PC running on my office (one of the rooms in my house) while at the same time being able to use it from the living room (plugged to a tv) and my bedroom (on a different monitor). I have all 3 rooms connected with ethernet cable and my idea was tu use a HDMI KVM I found on amazon: https://www.amazon.com.mx/gp/product/B099F2T3MS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ALXO6XP10HK6H&th=1 It basically connects a transmiter to my PC using usb and then uses the ethernet cable to connect to a receiver. The receiver has HDMI out put and USB ports for mouse / keyboard. I wanted to know if this is a good idea, or maybe there's a better way to do this using the existing ethernet cable I have setup? The goal is to be able to game on the living room and on my bedroom (just in case there's people on the office).

Budget (including currency): 30,000 MXN Country: Mexico Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Realistically, any game that can be played. I'm not super picky when it comes to playing every single game at an Ultra Preset, but I would like my games to perform well and at least look good. Mainly looking forward to finally Playing Cyberpunk on at least the high graphics preset running at more than 60 fps. It will also be used for graphic design programs, such as most of the Adobe Library (Premiere, Photshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, After Effects, etc.) Other details: Here's the PC Part Picker Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4MLkgB And in written form CPU: Intel Core i7-12700KF 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ATX LGA1700 Motherboard RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive GPU: Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB Video Card Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply I'm also thinking of getting 3 extra iCUE SP120 RGB Elite Performance fans just in case. I was also looking into buying the Gigabyte M27Q-SA monitor, since it's not terribly expensive and its a 27 inch, 1440p, 170hz monitor which is just what I'm looking for, but a 27 inch, 1440p, 120hz monitor would also be perfectly fine. If you have any recommendations for a monitor around those specs that would be greatly appreciated. Is this a build that makes sense? If possible, I would like to stick with Nvidia and Intel since that's what I primarily know, but I'm not entirely closed off to trying AMD CPU's. Also, I'm not sure if the 12700KF is ok with a normal air cooler or looking into an AIO would be recommended, since I was also looking at the i7 13700KF, and that CPU can get really hot if not given proper care and I'm not sure if the same applies to the 12700KF. Thank you so much for your help in advance!

A couple of days ago my Steam Deck and an Anker battery just broke. For the Steam Deck there was no warning and no action which took place beforehand that could be an obvious cause of the issue. I just one day unplugged the device from the official Steam Deck charger and it did not turn on. The charging indicator light does not do anything either. When I say the Deck broke it BROKE. Just to clarify, there were no signs of life from the console. A little after I noticed a similar story for the Anker battery. I tried to charge my phone with it but it just would not charge. Then, I noticed the batteries indicator lights would not do anything. Just like the Steam Deck, the battery also showed absolutely zero signs of life. So I began considering what may have caused the issue. Currently I have no solid conclusion, but it is possible that the Steam Deck Charger could be the cause as that is the primary charger I use for both devices. Except possibly not, as I use the same charger for my phone and my phone functions (for the most part). So I am at a loss here, my Steam Deck ran out of warranty so warranty is not an option. As for the Anker battery I have yet to see.

So I installed a new OS in while only plugging the SSD in and not the HDD, and when I was done installing the new OS, I noticed that my HDD was not detected in windows/disk management/ device manager but is detected at BIOS. Does anyone know a fix for this? I don't know if this has to do with anything but my past OS was windows 10 HOME and my newly installed one is windows 10 PRO. Also I watched a yt tutorial in installing windows from a USB (my pc is DELL so the BIOS might be a bit different), and the guy I watched was switching from legacy to UEFI so that's what I did.

I'm on a gigabyte b650m ds3h and I've done all the prerequisites to get my pc running well. in the bios if I set my CPU fan to max speed it caps at 325rpm when my system fans get up to regular speeds. I've tried to control it thru gigabytes control center, but it doesn't even give me the fan control option even after updating numerous times. I'm scared to run games bc I think I might fry my CPU. any help?

So I have an ASUS VivoBook Laptop that came with 8GB of DDR4-3200mhz RAM (4GB Soldered+4GB Expandable) and I am now looking to upgrade it due to 8GB not being enough any more for the tasks I throw at it. The question I had in mind is this can theoretically support more than the 12GB officially recommended on the ASUS' website as the CPU supports upto a maximum of 64GB, and the motherboard too probably supports more than 12GB which I would like to confirm as I remember seeing another topic being raised on the forums similar to mine where the OP used sysfs to extract the SMBIOS information which in turn revealed his board supported a maximum of 32GB in a similar 14inch ASUS laptop. Help will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

Hello, Recently I've been looking on windows 11 and my tpm is turning off and on irregularly. I looked on my motherboards website and clearly states "Change default status of AMD PSP fTPM to Enabled for addressing basic Windows 11 requirements (https://support.microsoft.com/windows/1fd5a332-360d-4f46-a1e7-ae6b0c90645c)". Now I'm really not a person who understands bios updates, however I know how to use the bios ... typical. Now I have a 2nd gen processor and one of the updates says "update AMD AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.3 B for Ryzen 5000 G-Series processors support". It will still support my ryzen 7 2700x after the update right? I also want to install a new bios because mine is 4 years old. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you!
