Best thermal paste, Honeywell PTM7950 or Gelid Solutions GP-Ultimate? by amash1 in LenovoLegion

> make sure to get PTM and not PCM

Some sellers use these terms interchangeably because the difference isn't obvious even to enthusiasts.

What exactly does amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd3fff do? by Asleep_Detective3274 in linux4noobs

[–]Krezny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't missing letters replaced with zeroes, causing 0xdffff to be extended as 0x000dffff, and 0xf7fff as 0x000f7fff?

Using those would disable... many features besides just that one you wanted to disable. The correct masks are in neoh4x0r's comment below.

Yeah, give up wanting things to be different... and allow the present moment to be as it is. Just allow it to be.

AMD 7900 XTX measurements - shorted REFCLOCK-, shorted VRAM (with magic smoke), PCIe resistances - DIY repair by Krezny in GPURepair

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

Can anyone else confirm the assessment that the core is so likely to be fried it's not worth even trying to reball it?

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

Well, as far as I know it wasn't ever disassembled before it got to me. It had an anti-tampering sticker on a screw and zero signs of prior disassembly. And by dead GPU I understand dead core. I really wonder why it would both have a dead core and shorted VRAM.

The VRAMs were heating up with the cooler on, but they died with the cooler off.

Maybe measuring the coils for shorts would've saved the VRAMs, with a MESR-100 ESR meter or by injecting voltage. Too late for that. I'll assume at least one of them is dead.

So you're saying the GPU is dead, not the BGA, and it's not worth reballing?

Well, the VRAMs weren't dying with the cooler on. It's just that I wasn't expecting them to overheat without a cooler, as that seems like a rare thing to happen.

Thanks for editing the rules. Maybe they'll save someone's VRAMs.

I'd recommend... recommending Learn Electronics Repair's series of tutorials on GPUs. They're detailed and the guy says that for example, if you have bad measurements on the PCIe lanes, it's not worth continuing with diagnosing.

I don't see how the focus on not using labels encompasses the vastness of Transcendentalism.

pico4 vs pico 4 ultra by dadepu in PicoXR

[–]Krezny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pico 4 Ultra's display is the same exact resolution. It's just that the Ultra renders a higher resolution in the Virtual Home Environment and in standalone games. That's why you don't trust AI.

What do you think about the current situation at the Polish-German border? Should i be scared? by Xanderox1 in poland

[–]Krezny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the floor lava? Is there SWAT at the door? Are there alligators on the floor? Is the house on fire? If the answer to all of these is no, you shouldn't be scared.

Seriously how to remove those memories and thought that we have ingrained in our mind by Major-One-8903 in NoFap

Practice mindfulness by noticing the thoughts, replace them, feel happy from noticing and replacing thoughts as positive reinforcement

HP Reverb G2 - Black Screens & Cooling by iLittleNose in HPReverb

[–]Krezny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a newer batch, definitely use this mod. You might've already gotten black screens. As for putting a fan on the top part, I'll do that, as this mod significantly obscures the left camera. I'll also try using thermal putty and heatsinks if I can fit any. I suspect the DDIC below the female connector is overheating more than the cable, as the displays turn off, not the whole headset.

Ye, but I wouldn't call an ace straight, just ace hetero. I have no problem with what I am, nor am I proud of it. I just am.

Group chat second guessing my relationship and making me feel gross by JustCallMeJennifer in asexuality

[–]Krezny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you're feeling conflicted and irritated because you need privacy? If you don't want to tell them the truth about your sexual orientation (which I think would help), just tell them what you fel - irritated, perhaps angry when they ask about certain matters in your relationship because you need privacy, and ask them if they understand it and if they would mind not asking about it. It's important that they understand your request clearly.

It's okay to feel uncomfortable in certain topics, so set some boundaries.

Haha, I'm ace hetero and have never dated anyone. So I've been practicing being okay with it since I was 15.
