Edit: I found the "Account Upgrades" hidden over in the profile drop-down. You can delete this thread. I can't access: https://hardforum.com/forums/entertainment-media.65/ which was reference a few months ago. Or was it nuked.

Is this a known issue? Today one of the fans sounds like a failed bearing. Any reasonable fixes available?

Asus TUF FX505DV-PB74 (Ryzen 3750H + RTX 2060) To get into the bios, all I can find is Windows -> Settings -> Recovery -> Reboot -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced -> Enter UEFI. Surely there must be a faster way. What if Windows isn't booting/working to use this method? => ugh, hold F2, *then* turn...

Helping someone upgrade from HDD to SSD on an older laptop. What I am trying to do is re-align C: from sector 63 to 4096. I used gparted via Linux to clone and then shuffle D: to 2M alignment which worked fine. Aligning and expanding C: worked fine also (as far as mounting via Linux etc), but...

My brother bought a K740 from Logitech. Turns out while playing games, W (forward) + shift (run) + spacebar (jump) doesn't work. Logitech support said he needed to by the gaming model for that key combo to work. Or basically, they've purposefully broken some of their keyboards to push some...

Worked on my brother's 2700X + Asus X470 Pro (latest bios). The memory won't run at the actual rated speed of 3200, but it will run one under or one OVER. G.Skill TridentZ 14-14-14-34 (Samsung B die), in ANY of the following configurations same results as below: 2x8, 4x8, 2x16. 2xxx...

Holy moly, the first few minutes is a head rush, and your brain is grappling with the fact that you're tethered and can't walk everywhere (well even if you weren't tethered.) Where the heck is my noclip so I can fly around? It's crazy immersive like really being some place else, I can't...

Seems like Asus PG27AQ and Acer XB271HK are a bit long in the tooth at this point, and the Acer is fugly to me. So ignoring g-sync then, what are the recent desirable 27" 4K screens? Or do I just grab the Asus. Or LG 27UD68P (69P?). Or Dell U2718Q? It's like there's no clear choice after a...

Solved.

SC/Non SC is $130 now. Single fan, no power connector. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-04G-P4-6253-KR/dp/B01MF7EQJZ I got SC at $118, then it dropped to $115, now $113. Now $140.

My cheap Android (5.0.1 LG Sunset re-branded for Straight Talk) had gotten really slow. I tried uninstalling every unused app, and restarted the phone regularly. Multiple seconds to switch apps, painful to type, very laggy, unresponsive UI at every turn. I suspect it's something that got...

A shame that there aren't any AM4 boards on the market to transplant the cpu into. I wonder if the HP bios would even allow Linux to be installed as is. Already have the godbox in my sig, just want to build a fresh little Linux box. (Took $499 price out of thread title, that was a promotion...

Inline proxied images are broken ... probably related to the other hw perf debugging thread.

Probably not a popular topic, but I've noted something curious. 1080 + MSI AB seems to work quite well even if the power target slider lowered to 50%. In contrast, my Maxwell Titan X would stutter below 80% in order to meet the power target. I guess the new boost algorithm is better...

Sort of how like the 960Ti vanished ... what if the final performance Pascal card is the Titan flavor, and 1080 just sits at $699. Because I think they are in a position to pull that move. 980 w/4GB left an obvious gap, but isn't the 8GB 1080 positioned more strongly? Perhaps 1080Ti fills...

Tonight I noticed 500MB+ of critical updates (Windows Update), and I have "recommended updates" disabled. The big one was an nVidia driver. But I already have the latest hotfix nvidia driver installed. Since when does Microsoft deliver nVidia drivers as a "critical" update on Win 7/8?

Someone ran me up the pole a long time ago, about Kill-A-Watt having horrible accuracy, and I disagreed. I have encountered the source of confusion ... Go read the Amazon reviews. Mine failed the same way. Basically, first the voltage / power reading creeps up to +50%, then the lcd screen...

This is a GeForce Hot Fix driver, version 358.59 that addresses the following issues: G-Sync Windowed mode & full-screen performance issue http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=37765695

It ends this Saturday. My first ebay sale. It's at $305 presently. It's just wasting away on my shelf, and I don't have any other "godboxes" that I want to plug this thing into. I'd rather have another 950/960 card for my smaller machines. link...

Not too many 960 threads, guess not a popular card for $200 128-bit performance presumably / 970 stealing the gaming show / or Radeon 285 and 290. But it was a huge upgrade for my htpc from a mini 650Ti. Got the evga 960 sc 4gb mini for $200. It was on sale at Newegg. Wish it had been more...

Anyone got leftovers? 820 or 925. Someone gave me an old machine, but it has an X3 in it.

You guys probably know about this? It's been like this forever! Thread and Thread Starter are 2 columns, but only get one header column.

My PC when idle uses about 90-100 watts, but when after pressing Win+L to lock the screen with the default no-animation locker, the wall wattage jumps up over 200 watts! Is there any work around? edit: okay, it spools my Titan X up to max clocks for some reason.

The $699 Zenbook has 1 stick of 8GB, but the $799 Dell has 2x2GB. Sticking to the base models for best battery life. Which will be less problematic to own? Will 4GB be enough for someone that basically web surfs and uses Office lightly? How big a chunk of system ram will the integrated...

There's a function, =cell("filename") The description says, returns filename of the file containing the reference. But it leaks data, it actually returns the filename that the user is currently editing! Make 2 spreadsheets, toggle between them with both on the screen, and hit F9.

SOLD - to amoeba1126. Thanks! Used for 3 hours to debug a new build system issue yesterday. Asking $999 shipped to CONUS (lower 48 states). Only established active [H] members (or OCN). Confirmed PayPal only. Naturally all original accessories included unopened. Card is ready for you to...

Just discovered my 520w Seasonic can pull 620w from the wall (prime + heaven) ... it needs more headroom than that. Hit me with the best of the best suggestions. Typical boring setup in signature. NE has 1,591 power supplies!

Stepping away from OC'ing for a moment, here's the lowest-power that I can do for stock settings, it strikes me as high? 4790k @ stock, sits at 800MHz @ 0.76v idle in Windows on the Power Saver plan 4x8GB down-clocked to 1600-9-9-9-24-2T @ 1.5v Titan X @ stock on adaptive power setting 2x ssd...

Played all of Borderlands The Pre-Sequel with all the sliders maxed out without any notable issues. However with Claptastic Voyage DLC, particularly in level Subconscious, PhysX Effects has to be set to Low. Stutter was so bad I had to stop and figure out the problem. Even on a 4.4GHz 4790k +...

Say I have a folder of program short-cuts on my desktop. I have to open the folder, double-click the shortcut, and close the folder. Is there a way to right-click the folder, and get a sub-menu that lists the contents of the folder? Sort of like how the Control Panel can be expanded on the...

So, in Linux (via VirtualBox) I put 100 x 4GB files of zeros into a zip file, which was about 400MB. Zipping it 3 more times got the file down to 39KB. (Any more made the file bigger). I made the mistake of trying to open that file in Windows ... Defender brings the computer to a grinding...

When I upgraded from P67+Win7 to Z97+Win8.1, all my HDDs started unloading / loading (or parking / unparking) sometimes several times a minute. Apparently I shouldn't have installed that Intel RST driver from the Asus website for my Maximus VII Hero. Persisted even with the latest 13.6 from...

SOLVED - just another Firefox 37 bug turn off ff hw accel (update: I can no longer seem to duplicate this problem with FF 37.0.1 + hw accel on.) (update: FF 37.0.2 - "Stability fixes for select graphics hardware and feature sets".) 4790K @ stock, Asus Maximus VII Hero @ defaults, 4x8GB...

update: ordered Hero already Basically the motherboard is the only part I'm worried about. How's that Asus VII Hero motherboard panning out for people? It looks like the popular choice. Asus has 20 (!) atx z97 motherboards on their site to choose from. Won't be running SLI. Or maybe...

Update: this is supposed to be fixed with FF 38.0.5 according to the release notes. It was a code race condition on tab switch / close. Basically, Firefox "looks" like it's frozen, and "appears" to have stopped responding to clicks and typing. No, it's perfectly alive, except the screen...

update: went with the ASUS G751JT-CH71 + installed extra ssd. 4710HQ / 4720HQ cpus are fine. 860M+ is fine. Win7 is a bonus, but I've given up on that now. Non-TN screen is a hard requirement. Will be used for photoshop, audio, and some gaming. Hence, IPS, decent sound, and okay gfx...

Geek modding t[H]read. The 750Ti is a 50W wonder, but that leaves a lot of perf and wattage on the table. But, the 960 maxes out at 140W according to TPU, which is a bit too much for the particular system I'm looking at. The price diff here is only $149 vs $199 (price is of little concern)...

So I was updating my mega nv video card spreadsheet this evening (960, 970, 980). Screenshot of a small consolidation. (1) for a long, LONG time, there was a gulf between 1536 and 2304 cores (+50%) (2) the GTX 980 finally split the gulf between 1536 and 2304 cores. (3) the GTX 970 packs 128...

Center 2560x1600 + 2x1200x1600 each side. One dual link DVI, One single-link DVI and one HDMI->single link DVI. I'm looking at the spec page, but not sure: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt640/specifications I've got it all hooked up, but won't have a dual-link dvi cable...

My usb3 hub is no longer "fast". Or at least, USB2 and the hub are about the same when using my usb3 ADATA drive. I noticed my last backup went reallllly slowly last time (usb3 hdd) which is why I got around to testing finally, so I suspect it's the hub, not the devices. (The ADATA is...
