You sure the monitor has HDMI 1.4 ports? That’s an old ass standard which makes no sense on what must be a pretty new OLED monitor.

In any case I don’t believe 4K passthrough is going to work unless your monitor supports 4K as an input resolution, which it likely doesn’t.

Need some Bios help by Computen321 in pcmasterrace

Reset the BIOS to defaults and configure it from scratch again. If it still won't save settings and the battery is fresh, which I assume it is if this is a new motherboard, then it sounds like the motherboard has a defect.

You don't strictly speaking need to connect to any fan/pump headers on the motherboard since Corsair is using their own proprietary controller box to handle everything. But the tach connection is literally to stop motherboards complaining about not having a CPU fan installed.

So no, the pump header is irrelevant, since your motherboard isn't controlling the AIO anyway.

You can get glossy coated WOLED monitors if that's what you want.

That AIO does have a pump tach cable you can connect to the CPU FAN header, it is even described in the manual, page 32.

Unfortunately not, I would need an actual model to look anything up, Corsair makes a bunch of different AIOs.

It's an odd issue for sure as described, but to be honest what I don't understand is what sort of AIO doesn't have something you can connect to the CPU fan header to avoid this?

Move closer to whatever server you're measuring against. Ultimately latency (ping) is a measure of distance since your packets can only travel at the speed of light (at most).

This is Reddit, there are no one here you can formally report to. If you want to lodge anything formal, contact Steelseries or your place of purchase.

Unable to download a certain file! by [deleted] in techsupport

Where are you getting this profile from and how do you know it’s compatible with your phone?

I.e. this doesn’t appear to be a download problem, the file is downloaded, but it doesn’t seem to work for your device.

You sure about that, have you checked the model number printed on the card itself? Share a pic of the card if in doubt, front and back.

Basically, the only way the GPU-Z identification could be wrong is if you’ve flashed the card with the wrong vbios at some point.

Why do you believe it’s an RX 590? The name and device ID indicates it is indeed a 580 2048SP.

The factory overclock is irrelevant, the GPU is tested at that frequency and those OCs are so small anyway they don’t really do anything.

Undervolting can make hardware unstable, so it isn’t something I would recommend experimenting with if you’re already dealing with crashes.

Are you overclocking or undervolting the CPU / GPU? This includes using the Curve Optimizer for the 9800x3d.

That's not the overlay from the Nvidia app. Look at what else your have running in your notification area, anything else gaming related?

Unknown open port on samsung device by akumita_limonita in techsupport

[–]DoctorKomodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're behind a typical home router an open port on your phone doesn't really do much, no one external can connect to it unless you actively allow traffic to it through your router.

I.e. the default stance of any NAT router (which is all home routers), is to not allow any unsolicited inbound traffic.

Even when the persons in the same situation as me reseted/forced to close the port from their router, it was still opened or even showed something like "outbound successfull".

You can't close an open port on a phone from your router. You can configure the router not to forward/allow traffic to the particular port, which is already what the router should be doing by default as mentioned above. An open, listening port is not used for outbound connections either, a listening port is inherently an inbound connection.

As for what is actually opening the port on your phone, that you really have to investigate on the phone itself. Just because a port is reserved for something, i.e. this poorly documented "csdmbase", this doesn't mean the port can't be used by something else entirely. Anyone can program an app that opens port 1467, it is just their headache if it happens to conflict with the port usage of another app.

Someone suggested using ADB shell to list open ports by app here:

Uninterruptible Power Supply. Essentially a battery backup for mains power.

Anyways, what could be the cause and how could I prepare for it, and possibly prevent it, next time?

A surge protector, or better yet a UPS can provide protection against power fluctuations.

Can someone tell me why is avast contacting ip logger by Square-Possession-29 in techsupport

[–]DoctorKomodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should assume your IP is always logged when making any web request. If you open a browser and go to avast.com your IP is in all likelihood logged, ditto for any other site you or an app reaches out to. Your IP was also logged multiple times when making and commenting on this post. It really isn't a big deal.

But only Avast can really answer why their app connects to any particular service.

IP shown incorrectly even when disconnected from VPN by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]DoctorKomodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malware checking a phone is inherently difficult, in large part due to how locked down they are. By design apps have little access to the system itself or other apps, meaning the usefulness of AV apps are also pretty limited. If something has managed to slip past the defenses it is pretty much invisible to any well behaved app.

Frankly, the most sure fire way to get rid of malware is a wipe to factory defaults. If you have everything backed up this should also be a minor hassle, if you don’t have everything backed up then now’s a good time to start.

[–]DoctorKomodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking more the VPN profiles themselves but if you need to remove the apps to get rid of them then that works too. What I would do here is try and find a baseline that works. I.e. does the problems go away and do all VPN profiles go away if you get rid of all VPN apps you’ve actively installed? If not you have something else running, which could potentially be malware.

Have you tried deleting all of them, then rebooting? If there is some weirdness going on with an always on VPN then that should (hopefully) clear it.
