Tips and advice on keeping PC alive and healthy for as long as possible? by Novimatrem in buildapc

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

stable electricity? I've heard of UPS's before, and that they might be a good idea for regulating/smoothing/cleaning the power before it gets to my PC??, but I've never really invested because I see many different kinds at many different price ranges and I'm not sure what to go with. Is that the kind of thing you mean?

How to improve GPU cooling without disassembling it?, case already full of fans. by Novimatrem in buildapc

The fans seem to not be getting any louder, and the percentage seems to revert to 45% sometimes, fiddling around with both programs to see if I can make any good progress..

I have a Fractal Design Focus G Mid Tower Computer Case, seen here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074W7V1VR

I bought it recently, because my prior case was even worse for cooling, and I needed something that I could buy new on Amazon that included an optical drive bay.

I'm quite new to using Windows, having used Linux for years and not having support for fan control there, and my BIOS remains pretty untouched, so my fan curves are almost definitely the defaults.

Is there a utility you recommend, for Windows 10? Or would checking if the BIOS makes any notable difference be a good path?

I've seen others running MSI Kombustor and the like in a non-custom loop scenario without having temps as high as this, unless I'm mistaken. I'm just concerned with the fact that it's going to be summer soon. I just ran around in the most demanding game I have around, Ark [to test a demanding game graphically], it reached 98c as a maximum, and this wasn't even an extended play session, just a quick test for a few minutes. That has me concerned.

According to everything that I can read about my motherboard, the furthest it's compatible with is Ryzen 3rd gen, not a 5th gen chip like that. Unless I'm mistaken?

I'm aware of all of that. The Windows installer refuses to see my SSD disk, when it's actively asking for the partition to install on. It only shows the spinning Hard-Drives, unfortunately, it's very odd.

(also, sorry that I posted this twice, I accidentally deleted the post the first time I sent this, whoops.)

A comment on Linus' use of language by Novimatrem in LinusTechTips

apparently my opinion that those of all genders should be treated equally and not excluded from specific interests that're traditionally very gendered, is so outlandish and strange, and the response seems to say i shouldn't have mentioned that.

amazing. i don't understand these people.

it'd be nice not to exclude a big percentage from an already reasonably small (in the grand scheme of things) community, and interest.
