Hi. I've been in the market for a legit finger print sensor to add to my laptop that is not equipped in order to allow windows hello. There are miriads of USB knobs and doodads that does exactly this but none is positively recommended and most stop working after a few weeks from buyer reviews. Does anyone know of one that works? I mainly use windows, so no applewatch login tricks. Thanks.

I was playing with some AI video upscaling and I noticed my GPU was getting toasty (85c and 100c+ junction) so I decided I would bump up the fan speed, Upon setting the speed to 100% my fans stopped entirely and the temps began rising fast (hit 91c and 112c junction) so I had to stop the upscaler and lost 90min of work unfortunately. Now I cant seem to get the fans to run past 50% or they just stop and the RPM sensor is reading seemingly random values that are WAY outside the normal range with hwinfo showing MIN 209RPM up to a MAX 61,325RPM. No other issues such as artifacts, glitches or strange noises and the system hasn't crashed either. Naturally I gave her the old turn it off and then on again but to no avail, Everything should be up to date as far as software goes but I haven't messed with BIOS recently as until today I hadn't noticed any problems. I've looked around via google and cant seem to find any info pertaining to this type of issue outside of "try a different card" and "DDU and fresh install". Before I dive into countless hours of troubleshooting I figured I would ask the collective, is this possible GPU damage or are these the death throws of dying fans? I've used this card for mining in the past so the fans have seen ALOT of 100% use and she has been plenty warm in the past too, the cooler/DRAM configuration leaves a lot to be desired with at least 2 chips only getting maybe 50% heatsink coverage and the other half just gets the thermal pad and open air, that being said I have upgraded the thermal pads to thermalright extreme odyssey and made sure that each chip got 100% pad coverage even if the cooler wasn't going too. I've dealt with dead fans on plenty of other cards but I don't recall ever seeing the RPM sensor read anything THIS crazy because of it, usually just trying to ramp up then stalling or not even running. I've taken screenshots of hwinfo which show you my system specs and sensor info hope its enough. Anything helps, Thanks in advance.

I dropped water in an HP envy x360 laptop. After drying it, it opened and everything was almost ok. Windows is running and all BUT it is very slow (the CPU clock is kept at the minimum) , the fans are running at 99%, I cant get a reading on the battery level AND the battery temperature showed in the BIOS is 69 thousand degrees C! I assumed that all those problem are related to the laptop panicking and thinking it is going to catch on fire. I replaced the battery and nothing changed. Water must have shorted a part of the motherboard and is now not able to read information given by the battery. I thought of asking the BIOS to not take into account the battery temperature or overwriting it with a 30 degrees C value but I can't find any info on that online. What are the solutions? Do you have any ideas? Edit 1: it has been fully disassemble, dried and the corrosion have been cleaned with alcohol (there was corrosion on the battery connector). I think I have done everything on the hardware part except replace the motherboard. So I am searching more for a software solution. -
mouse Mouse sensitivity randomly speeding up and slowing down, also inaccurate
Guest posted a topic in Peripherals
Hello everyone! I’ve got a weird issue with my new mouse. I’ve recently bought a wired gaming mouse, when I received it and plugged it into my old laptop (more on that below) it worked as intended - nothing wrong at all. But when I plugged it into my new PC it’s inaccurate and the sensitivity is all over the place (again, more on that below). So I’ve been waiting for my PC parts - who would have thought... - to arrive and while I’m waiting, I ordered a new keyboard and mouse. Surprisingly, my 3070 arrived and I put it all together - so I plugged the mouse into my old laptop that I’ve been using while waiting for the parts and everything was normal - nothing out of the ordinary. But when I plugged the mouse into my PC (at this point, it’s been fully setup for about a week) the cursor seems to be inaccurate when moving it - and the sensitivity randomly speeds up and slows down. I had its software downloaded and the drivers are all up to date. Also, when I plug it back in to my laptop, it’s back to normal - could it be a software issue? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! -
What Is The Difference Between Samsung's 64MP Sensor - GW1, GW2, GW3? How Do They Compare To Sony IMX 686 & 682 ?

Hello, so I was looking for a good explanation how the whole mouse circuit works and sadly I can't find anything "idiot proof". I'm not a electrician but a dude that likes tech and I would like to know how things work. I took my old Zowie FK2 appart because the click button is dead and it was in a box since 3-4 years.

i own x240, x250 and x260... i had a weird problem on x250, cpu temps would spike in seconds from 50 to 90, it would jump from 65 to 90 back to 70 and then back to 90.. i tried repasting and remounting cooler couple of times but that wasnt it, everthing was up to date and i was sure i didnt make a mistake because all the same procedure was done on x240 and x260 and all is good..while in windows temps would go crazy but in linux it would act normal which was weird.. then some.nice dude from reddit told.me that i shouldnt put paste on smaller die on cpu, i thought that cant be it because x240 and x260 had no problems, but tried anyway cos i had no moves left and taadaaa sensor/temp issue was gone. its was weird, stupid and pain in the a** to solve.. so here it is, hope this helps ps: i still have x240 and x260 paste on both dies and it doesnt seem to cause problems -
Hey, I bought a AMD Duron 600mhz yesterday and received it in the mail today. However, my bios sees it as a AMD Duron 800mhz and the temp shows up as 0c. Before this I had a AMD Sempron 3000+ (Obviously faster etc but I don't need the speed ) Because it shows up incorrectly and has a wrong Celsius value, the fans ramp up to 100% the whole time. Oddly enough, inside the BIOS the fans are at an OK speed (Still a bit fast but ok). After leaving the BIOS and even trying to boot to a floppy, the fans go to 100%. My other CPU, the sempron, works just fine with the correct temps etc and the fan is very quiet. Even when inside Windows.. My motherboard is a7v8x-la, it has the correct socket and this Duron CPU is older than the one I had in it before. It should work just fine and is supported. I already tried updating the bios to the latest version with nothing changing. (3.15) Do you have any idea or is this cpu just.. dead? It works fine but the fans are wayyyyyyyyy too loud.. Some information to sum it up: a7v8x-la Mobo AMD duron 600 CPU (yes 600 not 800 even though it says it’s 800, the numbers on the cpu say 600) I tried 2 psu, 135 watt and 400 watt BIOS version 3.15 The AMD sempron 3000+ works normal and shows 49c. If I use fanspeed to check the temps of the duron, it says 29c and -48c. Changing the fan speeds from there doesn’t work, they’ll go down as you change it but go back to 100% a second later. core temp shows 0c (It’s a single core cpu btw) I cleaned everything well and it’s not the first time I put a PC together. (I had to assemble PC’s many many times for my internships including servers etc haha and repair multiple pcs/laptops on the daily) So I have my doubts that I put something in wrongly hehe If you have any idea, let me know if not, I will contact the seller and hit him up. I bought it at some store What I have tried; Clearing cmos, default bios settings, Cleaning the CPU very well since you can overclock it with a pencil(So I have heard), Different psu, reseating it, updating the bios, reinstalling windows xp (I had to else I couldn’t install the bios since I was stuck in an activation loop and yes I tried to extend the 30day trial a few times but it stopped working) and lastly just cleaning it and other stuff some more so it’s dust free. (With care)

I wonder if it's possible to set it up (preferably without any 3rd party software), so that Rotation lock (screen rotation) is set to ON when my keyboard is attached (it's a 2in1) so that the sensor doesn't waste battery while I'm on a desk for example, and when I detatch the keyboard, automatically have the Rotation lock set to OFF (so that my screen would rotate when tilted). This is inspired by my partially broken screen where the touch wouldn't work and I cannot interact with my left bottom corner (start button and everything around it). If anyone knows how to make this happen, please let me know! Thanks in advance! :) P.S. currently if rotation lock isn't off from my last sesion, I can't type in my password to unlock the screen.

I just built my first gaming pc since ~2007 (I use a Mac / Xbox normally) and a lot has changed. my motherboard (Asus X570-E) came with a thermistor temp sensor but most of the hardware already has built in temp sensors, so I thought it might be useful to have this one measuring the temp of the incoming ambient air. the cable is only like 6-8” long and there weren’t a lot of mounting options so I mounted it in one of the cable channels behind the bottom intake fan of a Phanteks Evolv X (see pic). Q: This may be a really dumb question, but does anyone know for sure that the placement won’t affect the readings? my instinct is that the temp is the temp and whether the air is moving or not doesn’t make a difference to a sensor but I wanted to make sure and didn’t find anything searching google/YouTube. thanks! P.S. now that I see that picture it’s bugging me that the logo is sideways. Come on Phanteks!

Is this dangerous or the sensor is failing?

So my friend just messaged me to help him with his ps4. It's not accepting any disk that he tries to insert into the optical drive. (doesnt even try to bring it into the system, it doesnt even seem to nitice that a disk is being inserted at all) every other repair guide online seems to be for when the system AutoEjects disks (safe mode, tightening the eject screw) so this seems to not be a super common issue. I was hoping someone here would have an idea of what it could be

Hey! So this is a bit random and I'm not sure if this is even the right forum for the topic but here we go: I wanted to replace my old G703 mouse with a new one, because the scroll wheel is bugged in wireless mode (randomly scrolls in the wrong direction when using the scroll wheel). I got the G Pro Wireless and the MX Master 3 and I can't decide which to choose. The Master 3 is a lot easier on my wrist ergonomically and is easier on my wrist, but it's also a lot heavier. My biggest problem is that the cursor just feels a lot slower and mushy somehow. This is where the G Pro WIreless comes in: It's a lot lighter and the cursor just feels so much quicker and more accurate. Having used the Master 3 though, I really notice more strain on my wrist when using it. My question here now: Would it be possible to simply switch the sensors on the mice, so I could use the Master 3 with the G Pro Wireless's sensor, as it just seems like an absolutely perfect combination. I don't really have any experience at all with modding, so if anyone knows how to make this work please help! I would'nt even mind paying you for it ^.^ -
So i bought a new PC, and everything work fine except for one thing, my H100i RGB Platinum doesnt give me the real temps of my CPU when benchmarking i go around 60 to 65 but Corsair Icue does not go above 28 ... for now im just using my 2080ti sensor to make the fan ramp up and i do not exceed 60°C on My i9-9900k, but i would still like to ve able to use my CPU temps because its not optimized, does anyone have an idea of why it doesnt sense right ?? Thanks !!

Hello all, lately I have been thinking of putting in a "modern" proximity switch in my car. I am wanting it to be like a kill switch. When I enter the car, the switch will activate. When I'm out of the car, the switch will turn off killing the car. My idea is to use it as anti-theft. Does anyone have an idea with may a finger print, prox card, or something like the keyless entry? It's an older car so it should be simple to wire it. But I'm not sure what parts I am gonna need. Thanks

Yesterday i bought this card, so i faced some weird problem like msi afterburner,Sapphire trixx, gpu-z and others software like these are isn't showing gpu temp,core clock, fan speed etc etc,,i thought gpu has sensor issue, but i checked wattman and the wattman showing everything that's mean the sensor is working, and someone said it must be software problem since it's a new card. So as he said i'm waiting for next updates, But today i checked that gpu fan keeps spinning if i add a custom fan curves, i know if i add custom fan curve than i'll spin everytime, but tried resetting the wattman settings, turned on 0RPM fam,,but still it's spinning, Then i reinstalled the Radeon driver then the fan stopped spinning, but if i again add a fan curve then i cant stop it from spinning even if i reset the whole settings. It's my first time using amd gpu's and i'm really disappointed with their software

TL;DR: My MSI Gaming M3 H170 motherboard's thermal sensor seems to be broken. Right now, it's running with the sensor disabled. Is it safe for me to do this for the long term, or should I start looking for a replacement? The story: It started few weeks ago, when UI performance on Windows 10 was laggy, and games' audio and video were out of sync (with video portion being sluggish). I tried reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, MSI drivers, upgrade BIOS, run Windows Defender. Nothing worked. Last week, because I've been thinking of switching to Linux as my main OS for about a month already, I decided to nuke Windows 10 and switch to Kubuntu 18.04. And performance was also sluggish there. I didn't realize it was thermal throttling until I accidentally hovered my mouse to the KSysGuard Plasma widget, where the clock speed was at 800MHz. Before I decided to turn off the sensor, I tried tweaking the CPU's frequency manually, which didn't change anything. That's when I decided to just turn the sensor off. And now, my PC's running better now. However, I'm worried if I should leave it running without it for the long term. Edit: the thermal sensor was called Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor. That is the thermal sensor right? -
Do you recommend 3 or 4 sensors for the oculus rift? I think I am going to do quite a bit of roomscale but idk yet. Would it be worth it to get 4 sensors or would it be overkill? Thanks in advance!

When I put my PC under a load, say the CPU Z benchmark or stress test, one of the the temp sensors reports temps over 90 C. Thats when I have it the CPU OC'd to 5 ghz (using Asus BOIS build in OC utility), at stock speeds its more like 70 under load. Can anyone identify what sensor it is?

Hi guys, Looking at a new mouse soon. What is the best sensor out on the market is it still the PMW3366? or is there a newer better sensor out?
