wccftech AMD Zen 5 CPUs Might Get Delayed To 2024-2025
schuck6566 replied to Avacado's topic in Hardware News
So, because Intel couldn't make their own chips small enough, they become a vip customer of the people who can? -

Notification not mapping browser to said post
schuck6566 replied to Storm-Chaser's topic in Resolved Bugs
Yeah, I clicked on THIS alert from the home page, and even though the page continued to load after it opened, it opened with BOTH of their comments right at the bottom of my page where they belonged.... was still room to add a comment below but it didn't show it because it went to where the alert directed. -

I think it may be an issue of the page opening before it's loaded all the way. My reasoning is that I just tried to replicate the issue after having this page open perfectly to your comment when I clicked on the notification. #! I closed the Tab. #2 I opened the Forums home page. #3 I opened my alerts and RIGHT clicked the 1 for this thread and opened it in a new tab. #4 Immediately opened the new tab (that was still loading ) and was greeted with THIS .... That's an image from way up the page. Possibly the page isn't loading in our browsers quickly enough? That could be due to many reasons, including junk at our end,glitches in speed,ect. Edit: The more I think about, it's always in new tabs that it happens to me 'Cause I right click on my alerts and open them in new tabs.The 1's I just straight click on from the home page when reading something new,never seem to open to some random place for me. -

msn Google Issues Massive Warning To Users Of Chrome March 28
schuck6566 replied to bonami2's topic in Journalism & Entertainment
What I love is nothing said to the users themselves or recent updates to fix it being applied as of yesterday... I mean no notice in MY browser on windows OR android about this. Edit: Ooops! When I just opened chrome it updated in the background to ver. 101. Maybe they didn't tell me,but they did update it. -

seems like it's random, sometimes it opens right where it should, others it goes all voodoo like it's possessed and opens anywhere it wants on the page and I have to scroll to the last place I was(either back or ahead) -
My build started out the opposite way, I purchased a RTX 2070 for an upgrade and it wouldn't post on my Dell. Posted fine on anther build with the same cpu/memory configs so I knew the card was good. Ran across a comment in nvidia forums about how they were having issues with some older dell bios not working right with the new cards. Wife convinced me to build a new comp since the dell was a 2nd gen i7(2013 purchase) and my parts for the whole comp weren't much more than $50.00 over the cost of the card from EVGA.($549.99 +$50.32 tax) Comp parts were Ryzen 7 2700x ,16Gb ram,X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming Motherboard,120Gb NVME m.2,2Tb sata drive,Windows 10,computer case,EVGA 600w psu. Aurora Fan kit I won from InWin here on the site in a contest. Edit: EVGA and Galax have a bunch of 3000 series RTX cards back in stock at semi reasonable prices.

How to select and delete batch copies of files in Windows?
schuck6566 replied to HeyItsChris's topic in Software
ccleaner has a duplicate file cleaner app built in it's tools section but you have to run it then ck each file you want to have deleted. Or ck the box at top to remove all. -
lol, it could be like my gigabyte board with the main m.2 slot under the main pci-e slot for my video card and the second m.2 slot butting up against the cmos battery keeping the choice of a heatsink limited...

Saw this video on Jayz page and thought,"Hmm,alot of people here are always talking about their fans and controlling them and have like oodles of them..." This seemed like a really comprehensive piece of software that did fans and pumps and was free so I figured I'd post it on here for ya's to ck out. 🙂 Link to the software on github is in the youtube comments.

Many people first computers have been refurbished comps off of company lease. I wonder how that will work in the future now that it's getting harder and harder to refurbish them? Want to add memory?Ooops! can't,it's oem specific! Want to add a video card? Ooops! The PSU doesn't have enough power and it's OEM specific so it can't be upgraded! The days of getting a system off lease and upgrading it are coming to an end.... And it's not just Dell, HP has been doing it with the PSU's also.
-
The money from the repeated consumer purchases every couple of years because parts can't be upgraded also helps to buffer the possible losses from the great turn around time on repairs for enterprise customers. but we won't mention how the consumer is always placed last compared to the people who lease....

I'm not sure if you've tried this, but I was reading on the socket A's and ran across a piece about how they were out for a while and some of the earlier boards didn't support later cpu's because of the bus differences. maybe pick up a bottom end cpu to test the boards with, with a minimum of drives,ect?

Driver Crash Every Time I Press Ctrl+Shift+E To Record In Game, Why?
schuck6566 replied to HeyItsChris's topic in AMD
on a side note,not sure if you have 3rd party card or original amd made but you might wanna ck this out Flashing the Radeon RX 480 turns the 4-gigabyte version into the 8-gigabyte version / Sudo Null IT News SUDONULL.COM Programming news, technology, and just useful information also ran across this when trying to find some possible clues for ya... If the xbox dvr was giving it issues, maybe the capture feature in the xbox game bar could be doing the same? So if you disabled the app it might make a difference? -
When I bought this, my 1080 had gone out and like you,I don't really do many shooters so 60hz was fine for me. Wife nagged me to get something better than another 1080 so I picked this 'cause of the 4k and 1ms response. I like the colors and it has a fairly nice menu also if you want to play around adjusting,and HDR is a button on the front for on/off so when I'm browsing the web or forums I just turn HDR off. Edit: I'm sitting 2 feet away from it when I'm at my desk so anything bigger wouldn't be realistic or fit.

Contentment - is it what the PC industry hates ?
schuck6566 replied to J7SC_Orion's topic in Water Coolers
Nice thing is,I got the x470 when I bought this to build and it supports pci-e4.0,and even the 5th gen of Ryzen's so the choices will be open when I need to upgrade. Not much into the competitive online games,latest 1 I bought was Horizon zero dawn and I'm doing mid 40's to low 60's fps game play in 4k settings as shown in screen shots. I'm sure I could teak them to get above 60 most/all the time,but it's not effecting gameplay 4 me so I'm happy with the look. -

schuck6566 replied to J7SC_Orion's topic in Water Coolers
Every time I see 1 of these new items being released, I think,"Oooh,maybe It's time to finally upgrade." But then I realize I'm still able to play the games I play quite well on my current set up. ryzen 7 2700x, 16Gb ddr4 ram,RTX 2070(non super). Maybe if I was playing flight sim or another demanding game like that I could see the need to upgrade, but I'll wait for the next socket /ram combo before I give it much thought,by then the gpu's may even be more available near MSRP. -
(sigh) U had to go there, Now my Ryzen 2700x says it identifies as a 1800x. I can only imagine it thinks it's going to set some new record.....

Great idea! Wait,isn't there some rule that the person who comes up with the idea is responsible for it afterwards??? lol -
Forums first comp: CPUz Benchmark
schuck6566 replied to Storm-Chaser's topic in Benchmarking General
I just want to say,all the specialized cooling talk here is corrupting me. I saw a 3 and 1/2 ton ac unit for sale on the local sale site and my FIRST thought was "If I'm gonna switch over from air cooling,I bet THAT would keep my system chill..." of course I was then hit with the * am I going to put that in a 10th floor 1 bedroom apt. -
Driver Crash Every Time I Press Ctrl+Shift+E To Record In Game, Why?
schuck6566 replied to HeyItsChris's topic in AMD
What are you using to record? That combo in Windows 10 is showing it's for "pressing the Alt or F10 keys shows available keyboard shortcuts. ... Capture a screenshot. Ctrl + E. Show canvas properties. Ctrl + Shift + E." here's a screenshot of the gamebar commands if they'll help any. -
