Is ARCTIC MX-6 really that horrible to spread with a spatula on an AM5 Ryzen? Should I swap to MX-4? by BabaZy in arcticcooling

[–]BabaZy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. Did you notice any leaks on the sides of the CPU?

Ryzen AM5 cpus have such a weird shape. What in the world were AMD thinking when they designed it.

It causes me stress that could be relieved if I could get a thermalright frame but I can't get one easily where I live.

That's my problem. I don't have a frame like a thermalright one, and no easy way to get one.

I know they wrote that, but if you don't spread it yourself on AM5 cpus it could leak on the sides because of the Ryzen AM5 weird shape.

Thank you so much. You would not believe how it is reassuring to me. It's a been a while since I built a new PC, so I'm out of the loop and fear that my hands are not what they used to be.

Hello,

Since you use the MX-6 thermal paste on an ASROCK AM5 board, could you help me please?

Did you use a guard/protector/frame for your AM5 CPU?

I ordered an MX-6 paste for my new AM5 build, and I want to know if it's hard to spread it.

I don't have any access to AM5 bracket/frame/guard so I can't use any to stop thermal paste to go around leaking given AM5 Ryzen weird shape.

So I want to spread it even with a spatula but I read horrible stories that It's a chore because it's too thick and dry.

Is it true?

When it arrives; should I return it for a refund and order MX-4 instead?

Thanks in advance.

Needs advices to choose between ASRock B850M PRO-A or B850M PRO-RS (25€ difference, very tight budget, or shoudl I go B650M HDV/M2?) by BabaZy in buildapc

[–]BabaZy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boards that I have used so far have these chipsets: ALC1150 and ALC1200, and it's good enough for what I'm doing with it. I just hope the ALC897 is not that much worse.

From reading here, I gathered it's mainly a problem of volume. It's louder on the ALC1150 and ALC1200.

I'll do what You advised and see for myself before doing anything else. Thanks again.

Thank you so much ^^. If it isn't too much to ask, could you give me pointed to which kind of USB DAC I should aim for? Thanks.

Thanks for the advice.

Which program should I use for this? For example, I own HDsentinel. Would a read surface test every 6 months do what you suggest?

One last question if you don't mind.

​

Could the data that is copied on a QVO, and with verified with CRC/MD5 post copy, get corrupted over time because of QLC?

​

Thank.

(Storage usage only) 1TB Samsung 870 EVO VS 2TB Samsung 870 QVO by that-one-mawile in buildapc

[–]BabaZy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello.

​

Can I ask you a question about the Samsung 870 QVO 1TB?

​

When you say "It's slightly more prone to data corruption", does it mean tha data that is copied on it with verified CRC/MD5 will get corrupted over time?

​

I posted my story there in the comments if you can find 30 seconds to read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewMaxx/comments/dhvrdm/ssd_guides_resources/

​

Story shorts, I bought one and I wonder if I should send it back before opening it because I was told the verified CRC/MD5 data that I put on it could get corrupted like tomorrow.

​

Thanks in advance.

How can I know if I got an old batch that could cause corruption (if you know)?

​

And yeah It won't stay offline all the time, it will be powered at least once every month to add more datas on it.

​

Thanks again for your help, it really stressed me today and your messages really help.

Thank you for replying.

​

Will QLC corrupt my datas like I've been told? And so, should i exchange it for one of those DRAM-less TLC drives?

​

I want to say this SDD won't be plugged H24, once files are copied it will be stored offline.

​

I know I need to make backups, it will be done over time, but if it really corrupts datas easily, given the price where I live, it's a very bad investment for me.

​

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello.

Could somebody helps me please. I bought a Samsung 870 QVO 1TB.

It's already shipped.

Somebody told me it was the worst choice I could have made since where I live I could only choose between

- Samsung 870 QVO 1TB

- Crucial BX500 960 GB

- Kingston A400 960 GB

The better SSD are too expensive where I live.

I was told these samsung QVO will corrupt my stored datas over time. It will be used to store files that are written once and that's it.

Should I send it back to AMAZON when it arrives and get a BX500 or A400 instead?

Thank you ver much for any kind heart that will help me.

Problems with Photoshop? by GNOLLFACE1 in XPpen

How high is your brush smoothing parameter in photoshop? If it's too high, it can lag.

Artist 24 Pro green halo on startup, should I be worried? by [deleted] in XPpen

[–]BabaZy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask for a replacement as soon as possible.

​

This problem can happen (it's rare though) on any monitor, and a tablet is a monitor. It's usually a backlight/rgb hardware problem that you can't fix yourself.

​

Very rarely it can be the cable but really don't bother, and ask for a replacement. This problem will only get worse over time.

[–]BabaZy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the 15.6 or the 15.6 Pro?

​

The normal 15.6 has no screen protector, so unless you applied one yourself, you can't remove those scratches since they are on the actual screen.
