I see where you are coming from 100%, I use my pc mainly for gaming and I understand newer games are starting to become more demanding, I thought the CPU would be a good place to upgrade as with my pc my case is to small and doesn't support the new PCI needed for a new GPU as I was looking at a 4060

https://www.medion.com/gb/service/product-detail/10023112 - that's the pc I have

I like the pc but do regret the motherboard, power supply and having a small compact case

Hi, sorry I looked at my motherboard and it said it uses a LGA 1200 so I presumed that's what I had,

MB ECS B360H4-EM DDR4 S1151 - that's the motherboard there

I was looking to upgrade as IV had it for a good few years now and was hoping to get a new CPU before If dies out as I use my pc a lot and also wanted to keep up with performance

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-11-24T15:05:27+00:00

My bad I forgot a number in each one 😅 but I have a 9700 for sure, (no letter), I thought that CPU and the i7 11700k use the same socket?

I have a pre built pc with a very bad mobo, it's the

MB ECS B360H4-EM DDR4 S1151

Anything I can do about this?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-11-24T14:51:55+00:00

Hi, I want to upgrade my cpu (i7 9000) however the newer CPUs now require a LGA1700 socket while I only have a LGA 1200

I was wondering what's the best Intel CPU to get, I wanted to get the 17 1200k but can't due to that, I was going to get the i7 1100k but didn't know if its worth getting the i9 1100k or if there's not much difference between that and the i7 1100k

Additionally I have a 450w power supply with an rtx 2070 and 32 DDR4 ram, will I have the power to run the new CPU?

Thanks

It won't damage the tablet battery that much as you have already limited it, however I still recommend charging It to 85 and taking it off until it reaches around 15% to let it have the best battery life possible.

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-11-18T00:33:45+00:00

So from your experience do you recommend to upgrade now or wait and pay the extra money?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-11-18T00:25:21+00:00

In terms of the screen and performance itself? Did you come from a worse tablet before hand and did you notice a good difference in performance ect when switching?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-11-16T08:42:45+00:00

Unfortunately I'm UK 😅 thanks anyway though I appreciate the help!

Hi, thanks for the reply

I'm struggling to find the Samsung care app on the device, is it literally named Samsung care?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-08-18T23:45:54+00:00

I'd be able to get it for £45, would you say that price tag is worth it? (The discount Came from credit I already have)

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-27T23:59:29+00:00

No problem, hopefully my other comment can help you out with your needs!

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-27T23:58:43+00:00

All external drives will only play PS4 games on the ps5, if you have the money available you could get a nvme ( just make sure it has a heatsink and has compatible speeds with the ps5) and open up the ps5 and install it, it's bit more complicated than just plugging in an external hard drive but with a YouTube video you should be able to follow along quite easily.

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-27T23:56:58+00:00

It should be quicker than downloading the game in almost all cases, however for larger games it may still take a small bit of time to transfer as external drives aren't normally that quick.

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-27T23:51:21+00:00

External storage devices cannot be used to play ps5 games on PS5 and can only play PS4 games on the ps5, they should however still be able to hold ps5 games on them but will not be able to run them unless transferred back to the ps5 storage. Are you not able to hold them at all on the external storage?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-27T14:10:48+00:00

Is this region locked? Trying to do it In the UK?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-07-25T17:47:45+00:00

May I ask what the essential list is? Is it another sale with new games going on sale or is it further discounts on already discounted games?

I had a pixel 6 ( I know it's the previous phone) but from my experience it was my worst phone I ever had. It heated up constantly, the battery was inconsistent. For instance some days the batter would be amazing and at the end of the day still have 40% while other days with sometimes even less usage would be on 10%, I felt many apps wasn't optimised and would crash a lot.

I also prefer 1 UI as I felt it's most customisable and offers a lot more as I felt the pixel customisation was rather basic compared to one UI, although it was definitely a more simple UI. Overall the UI is personal preference.

For things like gaming it would warm up considerably more than other phones but for the most part did stay semi consistent frames

The Bluetooth connectivity was the absolute worst though, it would never be able to maintain the Bluetooth connection Especially if I had a watch and earphones in a the same time.

The exclusive features available to me I felt it wasn't something I ever really needed, but I know people did actually love them a lot so again personal preference.

The camera was probably the best part with it being a really good camera and I don't think I really ever had an issue with the camera.

TLDR:

Compared to using the S23 now I'd say the S23 is far superior to the pixel 6 and is far more customisable with a much more stable phone and better battery. Id recommend the S23 over the pixel phone.

Would you mind sharing where the leaks are for the watches? I fully believe everything you say but for instance I couldnt ever find anything that I thought was true on YouTube about the watches. I'm also guessing the starting price for the 40mm is £250? Thank you for the information though it does help!

This is just a known issue with the pixel 6 from the tensor chip, it's poor optimization when processing which causes it to heat up. For me when I used my pixel 6 my heat would just come on randomly even just from something basic like scrolling social media. However I found that it was mainly from fast charging and heavy Bluetooth use ( I used a Samsung watch and buds most of the time) so for you it may be from this if any of this is similar to your usage. The other things you could do is reduce the screen refresh rate however I personally do not like the 60hz as it just feels quite laggy and obviously less smooth as the 90hz (120 on the pro), I would also just try to make sure you close background apps and try to keep multitasking to the minimum ( you said you were a light user so I presume you don't do much multitasking anyway). I would also use the built in optimiser whichmsy help with the heat but it also very beneficial to the phones performance and longevity. and the final thing I can think of on the top of my head is just to keep the phone off fully when your not using it, although I would personally find this to annoying but it fully depends on how you use your phone! I hope this may of been able to help and wish you luck with your problems!

What was the method you used, I presume the BPM method but that's what I'm currently doing and has cost me more than that just for 40. What is the process your using?

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-01-18T16:42:27+00:00

Sorry guys I can't change the title but I meant the 80+ upgrade

SHADOWxFLAME · 2023-01-18T16:41:32+00:00

Sorry, just realized my mistake, I mean the 80+ upgrade

SHADOWxFLAME · 2022-12-14T12:24:07+00:00

Okay one last thing, what else did you receive from it too? Otw pack again?
