hey bros, i pulled out the num5 key from uncle's laptop while  was using it because it was pressing itself like this 55555555555555555555555555555 and i thought that maybe it not fitted in right, when i pulled it the hooks that were holding it in postion were destroyed and now the key is not even sticking in its place, yes i thought about sticking it there and putting it where my uncle keeps his laptop but it looks like that it is not sticking at all (i want to find a way to make it stick there (it wasn't working previously so that wont matter, i don't want it to work now i just want it there) . it will be ok if its squished he wouldn't notice that because his 5 year old is like beating up the laptop all the time. So, is there a way in which i can stick it in there without any adhesive and if there isn't any then pls recommend me an adhesive that does not smell too sharp (noticeable) and please no tape.... any help would be appreciated..... thx

not a bad idea man but i would prefer an adhesive that is strong enough to survive pressings but not strong enough to resist if someone tries to pull it out (this way they will take the blame lol, don't get me wrong the ones who will try to pull it out r his wife and kid so that will not get them into any problem because the laptop is already in a pretty bad shape). i would want the adhesive to be transparent......thx again.....

hey there, if u haven't read the first topic please go read that first and then come back here, so for those who have read the first one, as u know that the num5 key wasn't so i decided to fix this problem with keytweak. it made some changes in the registry so now the computer boots up normally and sometimes it that windows had ran into a problem and recent hardware or software changes might be the cause. what should i do now? i don't even have windows 7 setup disc and i don't want to do something complex because i have done enough fucking up for today for sure. so, people please tell me how i can fix this, i don't have any registry backups but i have a system restore point before that(9/10/2020), will restoring to that point fix my registry? any help would appreciated.......

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
