The corner's only a problem with Prime95 - I thought I did pretty well lol. A thought just occurred to me - I can stick the thing in the garage! It's about 5 degrees right now

I meant to say the thread concerns stability, not temps My real workloads don't ever cause the CPU to draw an average of more than 110 watts, so being able to dissipate 130 is generous enough IMO. My workloads occasionally have small peaks to 135 watts which are 5-7 seconds long, but they...

To verify stability can I instead run 5 threads in Prime95 and change core affinity in Windows Task Manager from Core 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (first 5) to Core 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (last 5) to stay under 130 watts? Or do all threads need to be run at the same time. Key is "to verify stability" Edit: I'm not...

Can Prime 95 be used on less than all cores at once to verify stability? Using all cores eventually. I have a mini ITX build with the CPU cooled by a Noctua NH-L9i low profile cooler. It's a 9600k on a Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard. The cooler dissipates a bit over 130 watts of heat...

I have a Microsoft Surface Laptop 2. Its ports consist of the proprietary Surface connector, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and one USB 3.0 type A. The configuration works for me - I use the port for external storage when needed, my mouse connects via Bluetooth, and I use my trusty 4 port USB 3.0...

I came back to this thread to update it with some answers. The solution is for everyone. There's also specific information on the TVs previously mentioned - known as Sony A8G/AG8 (OLED) and X900F/XF900 (LCD). Setting custom resolutions and having custom resolutions take is discussed. And...

Damnnnn, this is smooth! Going to make gaming great. And scrolling. And moving the mouse lol

Damn, same chipset as my TV! Maybe I'll get 240hz on my OLED?

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Hardware involved: HTPC with 3080/1030, Sony A8G TV I browse the internet, play games, and watch TV/movies with the setup. The problem is: in Windows Settings > System > Display, the "Advanced display settings" page shows that the the "Desktop...

I didn't even think to lower the voltage! But I can't anyway lol, the bar's greyed out. That probably would've helped me get most of the way there. I had an AMD card I undervolted a couple years ago by modifying the BIOS (not flashing to a different manufacturer, modifying). Can't be done with...

I really don't want to. Bought a 3080, don't want to spend another dime on a video card lol Edit: I have a resistor kit, from 1 ohm to 10 meg ohm :D (12 of 150ish different values), 1/4 watt. I can make any resistor!

By shunt do you mean run a wire from one spot on the card to another? Or from the power supply? If so, I'd do it. I'm decent with a soldering iron

My actual graphics card is broken and won't be fixed for a couple months. I'm using a MSI GeForce GT1030 2GH LP OC for the time being - link at bottom. I'm able to increase the GPU clock in MSI Afterburner, but when running reasonably demanding games (anything but UT2k4) I only get about 85%...

I have had those options available before, not sure of the exact steps I took to get there, but when I tried to apply the 10 or 12 bit colour, the screen flickered (off for ~1/10th of a second), then the menu options were gone, along with the apply button. It takes the TV 2-3 seconds to start...

For me, when I switch to 4k60 I get 8 bit colour. HDR gives me "8 bit dithered". Changing the chroma resolution to 4:2:2 doesn't make available the 10 or 12 bit colour options. The only thing that does is a refresh rate of 30hz. Actually, I once made a custom resolution of 48hz and 10 bit colour...
