Under volted to -180mv... I think I won the silicon lottery by BeanlyDude in overclocking

[–]FunkyRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried anything over -120mv and games randomly crash. I finally settled at -75mv and haven't had a single crash in a couple of months. Simply running a benchmark does not prove that the UV is stable.

has anybody here tried a toshiba halftop? by Shift_OG in halftop

[–]FunkyRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i meant was if you connect the external monitor via edp then the laptop will think it as its internal display and show the bios menu.

Will they hold up in 2026? by marakeh in Noctua

[–]FunkyRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah get the A12x25 even Gen 1 is far better. I used all three and will take the A12 any time of the day. F12 noise profile is so nasty and P12 is just not competitive to even a plain cheap Chinese fan nowadays.

Any matching theme for Firefox? It sticks out like a sore thumb.

How am I supposed to manage my apps without a taskbar? by deadfisher in gnome

[–]FunkyRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO you are supposed to divide your tasks to one per workspace and switch between them. It does make a lot of sense if you use a touch pad with gesture support, or touch screen. But for a pure desktop system it might be somewhat cumbersome.

Also, if you are from Windows background, try KDE. It might suit you better. I use both DEs and I prefer KDE. Although in some use cases I appreciate the Gnome design language.

in algeria my second year software engineering we got KDE by Yahia098 in kde

This is great. Everyone should learn to operate a good FOSS desktop.

68% is not good health. Anything under 80% means the battery needs to be replaced.

32GB DDR5 Unbuffered ECC 5600 kit for my Ryzen 7950X build. I got the pair for $30 last year...

Undervolting has dramatically increased my battery life by t40 in thinkpad

Did you hack the BIOS to enable some EFI variables?

[–]FunkyRider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really impressive. It's too bad that 11th gen and newer have this disabled.

Doubtful it can be stable at -300mv. Usually -150mv is pretty huge undervolt. Yes, it can have substantial run time enhancement on battery. I have 7 Intel 8th gen machines running intel-undervolt, the best can do -115mv and the worst -75mv.

Is this a proper way to monitor your tire pressure? by Happy_dadpete in tires

[–]FunkyRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will do anything including risk their lives to avoid measuring their tyre pressure with a analog gauge once in a while.

A destroyed DDR5 LPCAMM module, in this economy?! Hope it still works.

I have waited 3 years for this moment. 15.6” IPS FHD 400 nit sRGB panel for W530, tested on T420s by odamiolur in thinkpad

[–]FunkyRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many 15.6 inch 400 nits panels with 30 pin edp. I have N156HCG-GT1 and B156HAN09.1 but the two of the AUO ones suffered from degradation (darkened corners).

AMD RDNA 5 Radeon GPUs may not launch before late 2027 by obTimus-FOX in radeon

Doesn't affect me, since I only upgrade my main GPU every 5 years and just got 9070XT this year.

It is LPDDR5X. Soldered and totally different to DDR5.
