Mr.Humble

Yeah I hear you but last year I literally almost cooked my GPU during the rush. I'll probably join in anyway but not having to compete in leaderboards might lend some more stability to my system

holy cow it's October already, and I totally forgot Folding month is a thing. Damnit.

It probably could be done if I knew any programming at all. I found a solution though: I looked up the event ID and source when the external SSD gets plugged in, then I used that as a trigger in Event planner to start the copy "script" stored on the external SSD. However then I was running into an issue where if I plug in another external drive, it starts the copy if the external SSD is still connected. I solved that by making a more detailed filter for the trigger event as shown: <QueryList> <Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs/Operational">

Hi, I need some help with my backup. My situation: I have a laptop and a desktop with a large hard drive for storage. I periodically backup the laptop to a portable SSD using Acronis and differential backup. I want to have an automatic solution to copying that backup to my desktop. I know this can be done with a robocopy script in a .bat file and an autorun, but I'm not sure how to make it work when I plug in the drive. I would prefer to avoid a solution requiring other software. I tried to modify a solution from this thread but I don't

I know it's kinda old, but the Qualified Vendor List for that motherboard (also kinda old) only goes up to 3200 MHz: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-ab350m-gaming3_pinnacle.pdf Afraid you might me SOL EDIT: Official MB specs also only up to 3200MHz

For storing non-critical data (movies etc.), literally the cheapest drive with the capacity you need will do.

Hi, I personally have a bunch of Kingstons and some Adatas. Why do you need a USB stick?

The 8-pin should be capable of delivering about 230W, the most powerful CPU for that board is rated at 105W, so you should be fine. Not sure you'll get far with Ryzen OC tho. EDIT: corrected the number and source: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/854595-what-is-the-power-limit-for-one-8-pin-eps-connector/

Same please.

Mine probably dying too, except it's a 1080...

Thanks for the advice. I tried to rule out the motherboard by swapping the GPU to the other slot, DDU'd and clean installed drivers, reset boost profile of the card... and what do I get Artifacts and freezes on the d e s k t o p. Afraid she's drawing her last breaths. Now here's an expense I really don't need right now.

Hi there, my 1080 is being utilized heavily in Folding@Home. However lately my PC has been experiencing freezes that could only be resolved by a hard reset. In event log there's a bunch of entries with event ID 17 - corrected hardware error. How should I proceed to make sure it's the GPU?

not really, a slight boost to the GPU clock but that's it. I'll try to investigate further but I was wondering if it may be a Windows update issue
