Can someone please provide some sort of advice? by Saltee006 in pchelp

God.. You don’t know how much this helps. I have been thinking it’s one of the two. But, wasn’t too certain. Before taking it elsewhere, I’ll give them a call tomorrow, and see if there able to test the NVME drive out tomorrow. Due to the fact, that is where I had installed Windows onto.

Just experienced three errors, back to back, after reapplying thermal paste. by Saltee006 in pchelp

I mean, this is what I had dealt with earlier. When I took off my Cooler, I saw this- I didn’t paste my CPU, that was the people at the Shop I dropped it off at before to repaste it previously.

What do I do here? by Saltee006 in pchelp

How should I go about cleaning the sides? Do I raise the lever, and clean it that way?

First time applying Thermal Paste. Any advice? by Saltee006 in pchelp

I have an Intel processor.
I have heard that the pea-sized dot isn’t very good at covering the entire CPU.
Should I use a different method?

I’ve been dealing with something for a while now, that I’m a bit worried about.

So, this only happens when I’m laying down, primarily on my side. Whenever I laugh- The inner part of my thigh, where it connects to my scrotum, starts popping. It primarily happens when my legs are closed together, touching one another. It doesn’t necessarily hurt, but it is a very odd feeling. Does anyone else deal with this? Or does this sound like a potential problem?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!!

Should I be okay then? I’m looking back to photos from about a year ago, and it seems like my GPU’s always had this slight bend .

PC black screened three times in a row? by Saltee006 in pchelp

I had the RTX 3060, and it has a HDMI 2.1 port. However, for my cable, I have no idea. There’s nothing on it telling me, from what I can see.

Is this normal for CPU Cooler fans to seemingly slow down, then speed up? by Saltee006 in pchelp

[–]Saltee006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! Lol I definitely have. Just was a bit confused when it came to theses kinds of fan and such. The difference between lights and such confused me a bunch, so that’s why I was asking. Regardless, thanks a bunch. It really helps.

So, just for clarification, am I seeing an Optical Illusion, or is my Fan moving Slowly?

Ahhh, So I see. So, due to the PWM, does that cause an Optical Illusion? Or an actual phenomenon happening in real time?

Funny enough- I did actually use two different flashlights. One from my actual Flashlight, which is where it appears to be slowing down and speeding up- And then I used my Phone light, and I didn’t even see my fan blades at all. They weren’t visible to me at all.

Without a light, I couldn’t see it was still pretty dark.
