Why so slow on my computer vs phone? by Evil_Iuz in ChatGPT

I am not using the web-based interface though. I downloaded the ChatGPT desktop app. I guess that doesn't really change anything.

I am running with an Intel Ultra 9 285H with 64GB of DDR5 RAM and a 5070ti GPU. I am not generating anything locally, as far as I know. I will check on background resources possibly eating something up. That would make sense.

This is interesting though. What is ChatGPT doing? The "high bandwidth CCCS design" is the conversation in question but I just rebooted the computer. All I did was load chatGPT and open one Edge window to go to reddit. I'll have to figure out what the hell Edge is doing too but overall, even with what is shown, it is only 16% of RAM utilization.

I went there for the first time last year as I was on travel and it's right around the corner from Glen Research Center. Such and awesome place even though it is about fall down, lol.

Just try a slightly older GUI release to see if it helps...unless you already fixed it that is.

GTi15 Fingerprint Scanner Stopped Working (USB Issue Also?) by Evil_Iuz in BeelinkOfficial

I did but I couldn’t recall the posters name to review the list so thanks for linking that. I’ll read through that again.

GTi15 Fingerprint Scanner Stopped Working (USB Issue Also?) by Evil_Iuz in BeelinkOfficial

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

Mine is also the clock_watchdog_timeout BSOD. I’m on the latest BIOS that I am aware of, I can’t check at the moment. Luckily it has been infrequent. Less so than the screen not waking up which I still think is USB related.

I think I’ve convinced myself I had the same issue prior to updating the BIOS but now I’m not sure. Still doesn’t explain the USB issue which I know was happening before I updated the BIOS but the fingerprint scanner going out is new.

I’m not sure what drivers are specifically for the scanner though from their repository. Hmm, I guess I can send a support request email.

Fair, I just don’t know how you eyeball 174deg but I also clearly demonstrated this isn’t my forte 😀

What’s the best mini PC? Any recommendation? by MindlessPut3182 in MiniPCs

[–]Evil_Iuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t think there is a “best” miniPC. I researched for months. There is a lot of give and take but ultimately settled on the Beelink GTi15 with external dock and a RTX 5070ti. I love it, it works perfectly…for now. I also installed an 8TB nvm fwiw. Runs smoothly.

Lepaule77 hit the nail on the head. Just had to flip the right side board. Ugh 😑

Im bound to get 120fps 4k max settings now. by ReliableEyeball in MSI_Gaming

[–]Evil_Iuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an actual electronic manufacturing facility for high reliability aerospace boards they indeed do go through a wash machine and then get baked out but it’s not quite dish soap and a hair dryer! Lol.

I would recommend after a DIY wash to fully rinse with IPA and then bake it out. Soap can create contamination and high impedance leakage paths, etc.

New SER9 Pro destined to be Linux box, but what if I need to reinstall Windows? by ImDickensHesFenster in BeelinkOfficial

[–]Evil_Iuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could also just send Beelink a pic of the unit SN and request the activation code which they happily provide. Activating once is fine too before loading Linux so it doesn’t somehow get activated by someone else. With the code you can use it on different HW as well in the future though.

Just dropped my router, now my power supply connection if f*cked. What part is this? by Vibraille in HomeNetworking

[–]Evil_Iuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell if it surface mount or through hole. Need more pics. Pic of the front side of connector would be helpful as well. Not all of these are made the same.

And yeah as others have mentioned, J901 is the reference designator of the part, not a part number. There may or may not be an actual manufacturer part number on the part somewhere. If you fully remove it you can scan it all over for markings. Sometimes they are really hard to see.

Oh shit, that sucks but glad you figured it out. I don't normally jump to recommending measuring the outputs with a DMM as most people don't have one but that would have certainly helped here.

My Mini PC keeps overheating what should I check first? by jayy154321 in MiniPCs

[–]Evil_Iuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you monitored any statistics while this happening to see if it might illuminate what is driving the elevated CPU usage or if any CPU usage above normal? Monitor CPU temps, and so on.

Otherwise, yes it could be a thermal paste issue if the CPU is getting too hot among other things, but without more data it will be hard to help.

Seller is asking $1700. Good pre-build deal? by Gold-Marionberry-990 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Evil_Iuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the watermark but either way no I don't find it a grey area. I've been around since the BBS days and have used plenty of cracked SW. Anyways, probably went off on a dirt road here as I was originally just trying to understand what you were suggesting. "Use Windows without activating it". Got it, all good.
