No.
The functionality of both apps (Control Panel + GFE) is eventually going to be all in this one app, but at the moment, while the app is basically feature complete to supplant GFE, the control panel stuff is still being added in, and that's why you can still access the classic one, in case...
Given that this isn't a change that's going to retroactively strip FSync compatibility out of existing budget displays, I don't see what the big deal is. This is a branding issue more than anything, because there are a lot of terrible "gaming" displays that try to leech off of AMD's image by...
Any TV that is any good for gaming isn't going to be lower than UHD resolution in the first place, because TV manufacturers don't care at all about making sub-UHD displays with good total latency and panel response times.
It's a good thing you already made the correct decision, because one thing that a lot of people seem to forget is that, when it comes to VR performance, Nvidia is still the best choice. AMD has been playing catch-up on that end pretty much since the inception of the VR consumer market, so much...
GMK caps aren't cheap raw ABS like the noname chinese brands you'll find all over the place. While I also agree that their pricing is wild and wouldn't pay for caps that cost as much as a whole decent keyboard, I wouldn't compare their quality and durability to the cheap stuff. I've only ever...
Because it doesn't need to be said; VESA mounting has been the standard in the consumer space for a long time, and nobody's changed things up, so it's become synonymous with "wall mount". The most common sizes on sub-40" displays are 75x75mm and 100x100mm. You can also buy adapter plates to...
The first thing you need to do with an AIO that's been sitting around unused for a long time is to shake it around and bit and have it run with the radiator above the pump, preferably with the ports facing downwards so that the air in the system will work its way out of the pump/lines and...
That fan is for the PLX switch chip if I'm not mistaken. A poor design choice just because they wanted to have that cover plate over the board, and without enough airflow, those chips run pretty hot. Most boards that used them would just have them heatsunk via a heatpipe that ran across the VRMs...
PNY is generally fairly trustworthy when it comes to the quality of their products, even if they're pretty barebones compared to the more expensive brands. I'm not sure if they still do this, but they are/were the OEM for several of nvidia's reference GPUs and professional cards (e.g. Quadros)...
Looks like those evga cards use the standard micro 4pin, so you can just use one of these cables to attaoh whatever fans you want to the heatsink. Dealing with GPU fan failures really isn't a big deal unless you absolutely want to keep the card in OEM configuration for warranty/resale, or you...
Honestly, I wouldn't waste time doing multiple BIOS flashes for an issue like this. It's rare that something as simple as fan control gets completely borked by a BIOS revision (especially on multiple headers), so it's more likely that they are just fried. A quick board replacement is probably a...
That hasn't been a major concern for midrange+ boards from either vendor for probably at least 4-5 years now. The vast majority of performance-oriented boards come with built-in CPU-less BIOS flashing contros, in the form of a designated USB port for a properly formatted drive + BIOS file, and a...
I mean, USB-C power delivery is a thing, and a thing that people actually use. Some would probably like the option of being able to feed a high-powered USB hub right off of their computer instead of needing to have an external hub with additional AC adapter. Most non-TB ports cap out at like...
Did you ever test them running vertically to see if they act the same? Because fluid dynamic bearings are just fancier sleeve bearings, and depending on the quality, can exhibit similar behaviors/limitations, such as making more noise when mounted horizontally instead of vertically. I would...
Yeah I've used some of those cables/controllers to add fans to appliances that needed more ventilation, like routers/modems, or in areas like AV cabinets. You just have to get fans that are relatively low power, but have decent performance at those lower RPMs.
The Crucial MX500 series is the next best thing, and is generally cheaper. The 2TB model is significantly cheaper than Samsung's (~$95 vs $120), but right now on Amazon, the 4TB Samsung is a bit more attractive at only ~$10 more than Crucial's 4TB.
The only thing I've used a 5.25" bay for in recent memory is for a 6-fan controller, and a drawer to store spare case screws, a thermal paste tube, and some microSD cards.
I haven't used any of these enclosures in a while, but I had seen some people have issues in the past with certain combinations of enclosure + ssd make, for both SATA and m.2 drives. It most often seems to be some issue between the ssd + enclosure controllers, and given that Crucial's chip is...
If you had a 2060S since release, are you also still on that original old system? Because even top-end CPUs from that era (~2019) would definitly be holding back a 4090. I mean, from personal experience, I moved up from a 3080 to a 4090 and the performance uplift is massive, especially since I'm...
Never had that issue on a 3mon setup (48" 4k@120 + HDR, 32" 4k@60, 8" 1080@60), even on the default Optimal Power setting, and I'm also on a Gigabyte 4090.
Pretty sure he said that it was user error, but that a good connector shouldn't be allowing for user error like that in the first place, which isn't the same as what you're implying.
It will be funny to see how actual nV bootlicker channels react though.
Out of curiousity, have you tried manually setting the PCIe version to 3.0 in the BIOS to see if that does anything? It's a bit uncommon, but sometimes PCIe 4.0 GPUs can be a bit flaky with those old 11th-gen Intel platforms.
Not stock, but you can do this with the Alphacool Eisbaer series. They come with a quick disconnect on the inlet side of the block/pump so you can expand it with another radiator, or a GPU block.
Alternatively, if the case has enough clearance up top, you could just get a chunky 38mm thick AIO...
It's something I got used to doing on my work keyboard since I used blank keycaps but accidentally lost the third row, so I had no locators on F and J. Didn't want to bother getting spare R3 caps or stick anything to the tops of the ones I did have, so I just put heavier switches under those...
75% is my preferred layout nowadays, so I'm using a Keychron V10 at home with stock red switches for alphanumerics, heavier blacks for the space bars and my most commonly used F-keys, progressive linears for less used keys, and superheavy 60->90g clickies on the Fn and macro keys.
For...
I imagine that the 12VHPWR connector issue, as overblown as it may be (in terms of absolute % of affected users), might also play a part in their decision to not pursue a higher-powered consumer-level card for the time being, until they dial in the connector situation a bit. They probably don't...
It was 100% the worst card launched in recent memory, because not only did it have a heavily gimped PCIe arrangement, it was also missing most of the onboard hardware encode/decode features compared to the rest of the 6000-series (no 4k .264 encode, no .265 encode, and no AV1 decode).
In what context? A subsection of the high-end market already exists for lower timings + moderate OC, rather than max possible frequencies, and in situations like OC records chasing, raw bandwidth is king, so there's no use focusing on something irrelevant.
There's a reason why Asus (and maybe some others, I forget) have designed their latest motherboards with offset release buttons/levers that are linked to the PCIe latch, so that it can be used even with a huge CPU heatsink and/or extra wide GPU blocking the way . Even though there are defined...
Then I would still recommend decoupling the frame and the stack as much as possible. All fans have a different sound profile when their intake is obstructed, due to a variety of factors such as blade shape, rigidity, and stability of the hub area due to increased intake restriction. Try to match...
Assuming you have that fan oriented correctly to pull so it matches the original intake fan direction that you didn't move, then it sounds like the body of the fan blade assembly isn't sitting deep enough below the frame, causing it to come in contact with the heatsink fins. It only takes like...
Out of curiosity, why is this a concern? I can 100% agree on SFF and midtower cases being much more desireable in Al for the sake of weight since there is a reasonable expectation of them being semi-portable, but for a full tower? I guess I'm in the extreme minority, but I actually like large...
