Didn't notice any Teams issues but the Outlook outage is worldwide which is wild. It went down before I went to sleep and it's still happening this morning like wtf.

When I tried to Google or even ask AI to find examples of melted 8 pin connectors, it was like 90% of the time a 12vhpwr adapter when you clicked and took a closer look. It's very damning, lol.

Sounds good, looking forward to your further testing including the dithering visibility for PC use etc. :)

You can also monitor everything with the Wireview in HWconfig even without the TG app (which is portable, no install needed). And the device keeps logs internally for a pretty long time, in case you don't want to monitor 24/7. Really makes no sense to replace a high quality and working PSU...

He just wants to pick fights on the internet, I guess. Pretty much all his posts are aggressive for no good reason at all, even when clearly wrong. Whatever, no point feeding him.

The 2 year EU rule is a minimum because some manufacturers were trying to get away with 1 year or less. If the manufacturer offers more than 2 years at the time of purchase they have to honour it though, it's not rocket science - thus Palit is 100% in the wrong. Many vendors explicitly tell...

I mean it's cool and puts a bad light on AMD since they are dragging their feet so hard with software. Their cards are fine, and FSR4 is even good next to DLSS, but they are so damn slow and literally just doing "same as nvidia, but later, and worse".

A handful of games put them in, mostly newer ones, but generally no, it's up the user to force the preset they want. It's still common for games to ship with an old-ass version of DLSS or FSR.

It's weird still, some people used the leaked version of Reflex 2 and had no major complaints.

8 pin connector has 19 years of history behind it, you can't be serious comparing the few failures it had with 12hpwr that is only around since 2022 and making the news since release. There is already far too many documented cases. That Google search link above mostly just shows burned 12hpwr...

Burn-in in 18h isn't possible the way I understand it, that's got to be temporary retention, which you can clean up? But running your HUD elements at full nits certainly isn't smart. Personally HUD elements beyond 100ish nits literally hurt my eyes and practically blind me (I'm always in a dark...

The CPU may be a coincidence, hard to believe as it may be. And maybe it's not even really dead, it's not like we have pictures of the damage or extensive testing or anything (like maybe a clear CMOS and the CPU could boot again?), the melted GPU connector we can clearly see though. Either way...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1wxqgoy/my_9070_xt_isnt_feeling_quite_well/ When even a 300w card isn't immune to it you know it's bad. Luckily you can avoid the connector on such cards though... just have to pick the right model.

It can't out of the box, but you can add a $15 IR illuminator in your room and it will.

Doesn't sound like the right headset for you at all to be honest. Look at the Pimax stuff or Bigscreen Beyond maybe? They support proper wired VR, have OLED and better resolution, and the BSB is particularly impressive on the comfort front. (I'm assuming you want to avoid Meta, which I can...
