My first PC was a 286 16mhz machine back in 1992. it had 1Mb ram and a 40Mb hard drive... Those were the days playing all those shareware games on floppy disc, and PC speaker sounds :D Between then and now there have been so many upgrades, and parts that its all just a blur. Current processor...

Linus Tech tips actually did a video on these cards back in 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg4&ab_channel=LinusTechTips

I notice the same with my 5900x. When I have just powered on the computer and logged in with it idling at the desktop I'm in the high 40c range, but if I shut down all the game launchers/stores that run on startup I drop down to high 30c range. The worst offender is epic game launcher. That...

I think the raytracing is just like when 3d TVs came out. None asked for it, but all the manufacturers pushed it hard to justify its presence... In the end few people showed any interest, so the manufacturers gave up on it. A bit like curved TV... when they first came out most manufacturers...

Presuming it must be a bios issue, as looking at other topics there seems to be a few people having issues on certain motherboards with only beta bios availability

Finally received my 5900x yesterday... Ive had my new mobo (asus tuf b550m plus wifi), ram (8 pack team 3600mhz), and NVME (Samsung Evo 980) waiting around 2 months for this. Id already updated the bios to the latest released bios from last week (which is no longer a beta version) I pulled...

Could be the thermal paste settling in/ curing after some heat cycles

In the past I've had a whole host of AMD processors from K6, k6-2, athlon, and last one being an opteron 170, after that I've just been running Intel until my current setup I've been running several years now which is an i7 6700k at 4.6ghz. I've been fancying an update for a while, and after...

W00t! got a R9 5900x with delivery tomorrow for under £522

I'm in the same boat. Have been running my 6700k @4.6ghz for years now and itching for an upgrade. I've looked at all the Intel options, but I've made my mind up to give AMD a go with the new release, so I've bought a new mobo, ram, m2 drive and power supply (for if I ever manage to pick up...

I recently bought one from another supplier. I didn't get the code at time of ordering so I messaged them, and phoned them several times. They told me that they have to inform Nvidia of the sale, Nvidia sends the code to them, and then they send the code to me. Took 2 weeks for the code to get...

Have a look at the capacitors on the motherboard to see if they are bulging on the top.

The last laptop i repaired i wore rubber gloves whilst repairing it :( :rolleyes: It was my brother-in-laws brothers laptop. we knew he used it whilst working away for his Pr0n watching pleasures. when i lifted up the screen there was a pube on the keyboard :eek: :mad: :o. There was no way i...

Nevermind, ive found a firmware flash on the MSI website that claims to improve the battery charge function. I Run the flash, rebooted, and the battery is now happily charging :rolleyes:

Has anyone else with a GX660 had any battery problems? i had it start a few months ago where it would say something like 90% available. Plugged in Not charging. after a few google searches it looks like it is a common problem in Windows 7, and going into device manager and...

I dont see how a wireless keyboard is more convenient? it is something else that needs batteries, and messing around having to make a connection, which will then lead to the tablet going flat quicker due to having the Bluetooth radio turned on. Cheap / Spilling something on it to replace it...

That Medion Erazer looks just like a rebranded MSI GT660 ?

the P1 loads the program of your choice. like a favourite button. just choose the program you want it to launch then whenever you press P1 it will load that program

I dont think its worth buying a card just for DX11, as it isnt massively in use yet, and probarbly wont be for a while. Just look what happened with DX10 when it came out.

Primany is the one nearest the front of the laptop under the palm rest
