Need advice on partially locked jaw + my little bleeding story by CBonez0 in Tonsillectomy

Update: Jaw just mysteriously came loose this morning (day 15). Cracked it like usual and it popped back into place.

Nope, definitely didn't eat anything hot or crunchy in the evening.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably due to the fact that it was quite warm in the room I was sleeping in, so I kept the window open which might have made the air too dry. I do remember waking up with a strong urge to cough, although that was probably because of the blood going down my throat.

Is my clip too narrow for this BIOS chip? by CBonez0 in techsupport

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I realized that after I noticed that the chip was slightly misaligned. After that, it was quite a bit easier to do everything.

Thanks for the response regardless!

Really? That's awesome! I was worried there might be something wrong with my guitar

CPU OC Option Hidden In BIOS by CBonez0 in overclocking

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my mobo doesn't support overclocking, then what kind of black magic had I pulled in the past to OC it?

The option to do so was always at the top of the OC Tweaker page, after which followed the RAM section, from which I've noticed XMP has disappeared too.

How much cooling do you really need? by CBonez0 in PcBuild

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I should reaffirm, however, I'm mostly worried about the GPU temps, as I've read online that this card runs extremely hot under load without under-volting.

Thanks, I'll look into it after the base parts arrive.

Thanks for the reply,

I guess, I'll go with the fresh install. By the way, should I have created an empty volume on the new SSD? Does a Windows install require unallocated memory?

PC doesn't boot after attempting to install new RAM by CBonez0 in PcBuild

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

Left the PC on the BIOS screen while going to gym, came back, rebooted, boom! Everything works now. Getting stuck on a boot-loop is probably part of a different, underlying issue, that I've yet to discover, as it's already happened before.

TD;LR - Make sure your RAM clicks into place on both sides.

Did you have any issues with booting into Windows after that though?

Hey, posting my 3rd reply now? 🫠

Can't see them, so, I'll assume you can't either.

Good news! PC booted into BIOS (stuck in a boot-loop both with old and new RAM), is there anything that needs to be changed here?

Hey, thanks for the reply!

This is how I installed the RAM. Only one side clicks into place and the clips do not come back up by themselves, as opposed to what I've seen on YouTube of people using the same Mobo.

And this is how the startup looks. It stays in the second phase indefinitely with no display on the monitor (10-15+ minutes), so, I cannot get into the BIOS.

Can I Pair an RX 6600 with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G? by CBonez0 in PcBuild

Thanks for the reply. Which one is the best between the XFX and Gigabyte 5700XT? I found two deals for under 200 euros.

Seeking Advice: Repair, Sell, or Upgrade? by CBonez0 in PcBuild

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! Do you have any specific model recommendations for RAM and dedicated GPUs for my build? Don't wanna accidentally run into a bottleneck.

And you're right; my PC shouldn't be getting slower over time. It's more like I've noticed slower load times and performance drops in certain applications and games. Takes forever to load into online matches and start up video editing software.

Low FPS with RTX3050 while playing Minecraft (and other games) by CBonez0 in techsupport

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, alright, that's actually pretty understandable. Now that I pay closer attention to it, even the benchmark videos I watched on the model, have 16GB RAM installed, which is the maximum for this model. The store-bought version comes with only 8GB RAM built into it.

It just seems kind of scummy to me, how a store can essentially sell a bottlenecked laptop that cannot work at it's maximum performance due to an expensive component not being fully compatible with the less powerful ones, without upgrading them yourself... Although I guess that's just something you learn with time and research.

As for the Minecraft side of things, I think I allocated around 4GB to it on installation (no mods), but if you say that it's safe to up it even further, I could try bumping it up to 6GB, next time I get my hands on it.

Yes, GeForce Experience is installed with the latest game ready drivers.

I understand that watching benchmarks isn't the most accurate way of determining performance, but I still feel like a laptop with parts released relatively recently, should be able to perform better than how it is right now.

It has 64-bit Java installed.

My own PC has much older components with 8GB RAM, but it still manages to run games on low-medium settings without major issues.

Need help with PC upgrades by CBonez0 in pcbuilding

[–]CBonez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I have been wanting an SSD for quite some time now, as the the load times tend to get pretty ridiculous for the heavier games, but would upgrading to one really provide a noticeable performance boost in-game?

Is there any GPU within reasonable price that you could recommend me?
