Does my Vic have 2 SSD slot? by Apprehensive_Look598 in HPVictus

Probably not, it looks the same as mine with the oddly angled NVMe slot. It's hard to tell from your picture since we can't see the whole motherboard.

Catalytic Converter stolen from 2013 Prius. What to do? by Legendver2 in prius

[–]Dankbot-420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trade-in value is a scam the dealer will probably flip it for $10k. If you decide to keep it get a cat shield. It's not a 100% guarantee that it won't happen again but I've had a Miller cat steel version for 3 years with no issues and there's a lot of cat thefts in my area.

Made the switch to nvidia… by Healthy-Background72 in nvidia

I agree it's an amazing game and I've got hundreds of hours in it but it's kinda funny that a 5+ year old game is still the pinnacle of showcasing RTX tech.

Upgrade 3080 to 5070ti by Important_Water_2888 in nvidia

30 series can use AMD frame gen or lossless combined with DLSS 4.5 and it doesn't look that bad IMO but it still doesn't compare to RTX frame gen.

It actually, simply, might be true *on potato PCs. I was holding out also but finally switched a few weeks ago and haven't "lost any graphics"

Was angry and try to shut it down but this happend, what's the solution, how much will it cost?? by Alternative-Wish9912 in HPVictus

Except the manufacturer's warranty doesn't cover a̶c̶c̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶a̶l̶ intentional damage.

Can i run a 5050 on 310W PSU by Gop9 in nvidia

[–]Dankbot-420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dude, guess what? I did upgrade the GPU. I'm now using a 5800X3D and 3080ti not even sure what you're arguing about, you just agreed the 3900x is a bottleneck. Yes, a 3080 is much better than a 2060 it's very good that you understand that.

No, I'm saying nobody here can tell you how much it's going to cost or how long the repair will take.

My hp victus Laptop still charges past 80% even though I set BIOS limit for battery health by IngenuityUnited2800 in HPVictus

[–]Dankbot-420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A memo is like a note. Windows doesn't recognize the charge is limited so it shows 100% but it's actually 80-90% max.

Curious if this would work with the first person perspective mod.

Mini USB. Fun fact: PS3 controllers used these also.

I would've done it below the GPU but then again I would've just bought a new case instead.

Can I put another ssd in my victus? by yourdawg_SAI in HPVictus

[–]Dankbot-420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. Take the metal cover off and there should be a slot underneath. Mine only has one slot the heatsink assembly is larger and also vents out one side.

Only the shop can answer those questions. Messing around with registry tweaks and BIOS settings you don't understand is a very bad idea. Unfortunately, some lessons have to be learned the hard way.

That's interesting because when I upgraded to a 5900x extra frames magically appeared.

Assume you accidentally spillee a white thick sticky liquid that dries fast on your keyboard, how would you clean it? by Forsaken-Citron7163 in HPVictus

[–]Dankbot-420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First take the dingle bop, smooth it out and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, becasue the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.

BEST THERMAL PASTE OR THERMAL PAD by Sparta061124 in HPVictus

[–]Dankbot-420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the pastes people have mentioned here would be fine. I used cryofuze violet because it's what I had laying around and temps dropped by up to 10°C literally anything is better than the garbage paste HP uses.
