Thanks I appreciate it! It's W11 installed on a pc for W8. I ended up suggesting she just use Rufus and it had the option to do that for her basically. I had not heard of that method before but thanks for the information.

The laptop is already running Windows 11, and in trying to do a clean install of it my girlfriend gets the "doesn't meet system requirements" problem. I can't do it myself and just had her use the typical Windows 11 installer, which doesn't work. Do I have to run her through Rufus and burning...

That is the only thing I'm unable to do, my back up cards are now in young family's roblox computers lol. Nothing is 'out of place' in terms of ram use or cpu scaling and heat, etc. My games and OS are on SSD, etc. Like I said I have no qualms about just buying a new one this one has given its...

Yes I used DDU in safe mode, and reinstalled Windows 10 for a separate reason about two months ago. I had that problem as well with Windows 10 where windows would install drivers over my latest crimson drivers.

lol no the 6 core 3.2ghz. except i think the amd overclock thing has it 3.4ghz on low volts. that's why i am so confused. i've built computers for 20 years and there is something i am completely unfamiliar with causing problems. it could just be the card is dying, i bought it on release and...

I have an AMD 3600+ cpu under water cooling. as i said all my temps are good, it is not a thermal throttle - the absolute hottest it gets on load is like 72c and that's full load (on the graphics card not the cpu, which is much lower.) good case flow, regular cleans. i was just playing sea of...

It's quite a few games but not necessarily the most demanding. It will stutter in games like CS:GO but not in higher demand games. The 480 was bought new awhile ago, and the temps never stress the curve, they don't get about 70c even on load. The gpu load graph ends up looking like...

My gpu downclocks for energy savings, which is fine until i game on it. I download the Crimson drivers with the UI and took off AMD Chill and everything that seemed like it would do that, but to no avail. I also put the computer in 'high performance' for the Windows energy plan and nothing yet...

Thank you! Do you know off hand if there are channel-specific curves? My headset could use a tiny more low end, and but my altec lansings are so bass-heavy music actually sounds bad.

Alright thanks. I tried looking everywhere and I just don't get why per-channel equalization is not an option in W10 but was in W7.

I've only recently migrated to W10 and I'm looking to turn my 3.5mm Realtek output down, because my sub is just overwhelming at stock levels. In W7 I think I used to just go through the Sound Devices and add a "effect" that was an equalizer from within Windows. Is there anything similar now? I...

I usually set the base where it's next to silent, or at least hardly audible, the +/- 10c leads to a lot of revving up and down. The fans seem quite a bit louder per RPM than my others, but I suppose I have to account that it's blowing into a radiator. I could find the options to change the...

I'm using MSI Command Center to set a real basic cpu temp/fan speed plan. However my cpu temps will jump around in ~5-10c increments, cause my fan to fluctuate enough to be noticeable (the fans themselves aren't very loud, a few hundred RPM difference, but it dips above and then under a...

The WD Red NAS was on sale about $50 less than the comparable HGST so I got that. Thank you all and I will look into Hard Disk Sentinel as well. I occasionally use free HDD monitoring/scanning, but either my previous HDD had a failure to sudden to account for or it was simply unable to be picked...

That's why I'm asking, In my experiences in the last ~15 years of building I've had about every brand of everything die early on me. The drive I'm replacing is a Seagate 4tb that had no errors within a month prior to its dying (or near death, hopefully I can get some of the data off but it's...
