    Strange monitor artefact

    Bit of a late reply, but my parents PC has an old samsung monitor (old enough to be backlit by CFL) and this is full of these issues, and they are now permanent. All of the tabs in browsers keep their goast lines forever now, and the cause of this is partly age but mostly the amount of time it...

    Upgrade for MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4GB OC GPU

    After doing more testing with my card, it seems that the minimum RPM my fans can go in windows is 2190 at 30%. That is most certainly not slow or quiet. The maximum RPM when briefly putting the fans to 100% is 4725. I would guess that this is much higher than the average card? Rather than...

    Upgrade for MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4GB OC GPU

    Useful to know. I have to say that my nvidia EVGA GTX-1650 seemed to run about 8 - 10 degrees warmer on average than my current card, despite being bigger and having larger fans. That is one positive about the 6500 XT - it does seem to run very cool which is impressive for it's compact size...

    Upgrade for MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4GB OC GPU

    Is the 3060Ti FE an Nvidia card? To me it looks like it is.

    Upgrade for MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4GB OC GPU

    Hi. This was my initial thread regarding my current card, and I was wanting to try and make it quieter, but spending money on that would be less beneficial than just buying a new and better card...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    Would anybody be able to recommend a graphics card that is under £300 and has larger fans that have a lower peak RMM than my MSI 6500 XT? Many that I'm looking at seem to be the same very compact size and I actually think the fans will have to do less work and be quieter if they are larger and...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    with my knowledge, it think this is too much of a risk. All I do in the software is create a custom fan curve and I would rather not do any of the other things that are more risky.

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    but as the only intake is at he bottom of the case, i would have thought a great deal of air will be coming in under the card already. I expect this as my 2 extractor fans are very powerful. 120mm is 1450rpm and 140mm is 1600rpm. And when gaming I have them both on full. When these are on, I...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    I simply don't have the space for a bigger case. Every component runs at a perfectly quiet level other than the graphics card. As I don't mind the sound of case fans as much, i would rather use more of them if possible and reduce the arm of the GPU fans. I don't know how to lower the power...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    the software has a zero rpm option, but this is fixed at going off and on at 50 degrees and you can't change that. This results in lower demanding games that fluctuate just above and just under 50 degrees having the fans click on and off all the time and it just sounds like an old mechanical...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    I know very little about undervolting fans. I just use the AMD program which annoyingly only lets you go to 30% of the fan speed at minimum which is too loud for when I'm not gaming. I would worry that if the speed of the fan on the 6600 is so much faster, wouldn't the then minimum speed on this...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    That is yet another option. I could try doing a modification and somehow mounting another quiet 4 pin fan under the graphics card that hopefully will maybe result in me being able to run the graphics card fans at a lower rpm, which will at least reduce the annoying noise they make. 120mm fans...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    Yes, i guess the other option would be seeing what range of graphics cards there are with either MUCH quieter fans or ones that come without coolers and this could then be applied. Quiet noise levels is definitely priority over performance for me, but it would be beneficial, especially in time...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    There are no intake fans on my case. The only ventilation holes are where I have my 140mm and 120mm extractor fans. There is a large grill under my graphics card and SSDs that will obviously take in a lot of cool air due to how much the other fans extract, so I should have room for fans if they...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    Good to learn that this involves removing the current fans altogether. Even at the moment, it isn't really temperature i'm worried about, it is noise, so if getting this heatsink can already reduce a lot of heat, then using a low power noctua fan i would imagine would be incredibly quiet. The...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    Would the radiator in the 2nd link be able to mount in a single spare slot under my GPU? I do have one slot available. I think I would spend up to £100 if I could get it so that I only have to run the GPU fans at around 30%, and I would expect noctua fans to be quiet. I just need to understand...

    Advice on making graphics cards quieter and cooling solutions

    There may not be many options left, but I'll say what I've tried. As I'm very sensitive to noise, i overclock my GPU (MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4GB to be at the same rpm from warm to close to maximum operating temperature, but always make sure that it still remains at suitable temperatures...

    Reliable, well built wireless mouse

    I know my post is long, but I did mention it would need to be a similar shape and size to the M705. The MX master is nearly 20mm longer, which for my tiny hands is a real stretch. I tried it in a store once and i can only comfortably touch the rear of the scroll wheel. The one thing that is...

    Reliable, well built wireless mouse

    My post turned into a very long one, so I'll divide it into two sections. What I'm after: A reliable wireless mouse that is a very similar shape and size to the Logitech M705. I would appreciate the button and scroll wheel features that it had, but don't need them. The only two additional...

    Motherboard compatibility problem with Nvidia cards / drivers?

    Update to all this: After sending my PC back to the retailer that built it for the 3rd time without them finding a problem, I ended up buying windows, and even that had multiple problems. Constant blue screens and other graphics errors. I then bought a new motherboard (Gigabyte B550M AORUS...
