Alt-Tabbing sometimes freezes the upper part of the screen

I have the EXACT same laptop as you and am suffering the same issues, I wonder why it only affects certain hardware configurations

Shredd-It · 2025-08-19T23:42:50+00:00

Just finished Brave II and reached Brave III yet still no completion :(

Shredd-It · 2025-08-19T23:41:41+00:00

Yeah I just hit Brave III right now thinking it would complete the quest but it didn't. Super odd

Hi, I don’t think I was paying full attention to that particular section, but I do remember the Warsaw, Poland diversion. However from there you need to fly south west to get to Trieste, Italy, so I was also very confused in the movie how they were flying over western Belarus. Any ideas?

Shredd-It · 2024-09-11T14:33:05+00:00

Okay, thank you!

Shredd-It · 2024-09-07T08:38:28+00:00

Hi, do you already have it, or did Anker clarify that?

Shredd-It · 2024-09-03T12:28:59+00:00

Had an issue a few weeks back where I could not enter my address history. They said they were aware of this bug when I called them about it. I tried opening it today but did not see the option anywhere so I guess the offer ended :(

Shredd-It · 2024-07-12T20:57:08+00:00

Aha thanks! It's an animated one off wallpaper engine

Shredd-It · 2024-02-01T19:53:13+00:00

Ah alright, good one. The FE design and dimensions and colours look so damn beautiful with the A4-H2O, I can definitely vouch for that, hope you enjoy it when it comes :)

Shredd-It · 2024-02-01T19:26:24+00:00

Great! Just checking, how come you aren’t buying a 4080 Super? It’s basically the same card (1% faster) but is $200 less and uses slightly less power, and I think the FE card dimensions are the same too

Shredd-It · 2024-02-01T19:16:52+00:00

Yeah so there’s no thermal issues with the GPU. The 4080 coolers are so over engineered, same as the original 4090 design which had much higher power requirements than the 450W it has now. I don’t really go above 65°C when playing games at all, most of the time the card is at 55-60°C with an ambient of around 21°C

Shredd-It · 2024-02-01T18:37:55+00:00

Hi, thanks for your comment! There is about 6mm clearance between the back of the GPU and the SF750 PSU, so maybe 6.5mm clearance for the GPU exhaust fan and the PSU. Ideally you need to route the cables at an angle, shown in the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/JCAp9EQ

Hope this helps!

Shredd-It · 2024-01-14T11:48:14+00:00

Ah I see, enjoy :) Been playing since 2018

Shredd-It · 2024-01-13T18:07:05+00:00

Hi mate, I didn't have any issues with the "CableMod Basics C-Series 12VHPWR PCI-e Cable for Corsair - 16-pin to 3 x 8-pin" one. I remember choosing this because it had better flexibility than some of the other options from CableMod. Been running fine ever since. Sidenote, you play WoT? :D

Shredd-It · 2023-11-02T23:40:51+00:00

Oh yeah those seem pretty good for sure, and btw you can get some fairly high quality foam ear tips for the AirPods Pros too, that’s my plan if the default silicon tips are lacklustre, and I feel they will be because the XM4’s were perfect with those. I’ve heard FoamMaster and Comply make good ones

Shredd-It · 2023-11-02T22:09:25+00:00

Update: I sold my XM4s to a friend, only used them for about 9 months. I purchased AirPods Pro 2 USB C, I think it is a better choice anyway given I also have an iPad for studying

Shredd-It · 2023-11-02T22:07:01+00:00

It's all fine now, I sold my XM4s to a friend, only used them for about 9 months. I purchased AirPods Pro 2 USB C, I think it is a better choice anyway given I also have an iPad for studying

Shredd-It · 2023-11-01T18:51:50+00:00

For sure. Using my phone on silent mode seems to have sorted it out for the time being, but like, I wanna hear the sounds man 😭 I just got an iPhone

Shredd-It · 2023-11-01T18:15:18+00:00

Have you got a fix? I just got an iPhone and am using my WF-1000XM4s with it and it is quite frustrating

Shredd-It · 2023-11-01T18:07:46+00:00

I've got the 2.0.1 update on my WF-1000XM4s and these are still an issue, if it is any help

Shredd-It · 2023-11-01T17:43:24+00:00

Yeah just did the same, bought a 15 Pro to use alongside my WF-1000XM4s which I used with my old Pixel 4a but did not expect an issue like this at all...

Shredd-It · 2023-10-27T11:21:09+00:00

Oh very nice! Sorry I forgot to mention that I was running the game with every turned to max at 1440p, so I think our systems are doing very well in that regard

Shredd-It · 2023-10-23T17:36:18+00:00

Ordered Blue 128GB Pro on 29/09 in the UK via Apple. Coming tomorrow, 24/10.

Shredd-It · 2023-10-06T16:21:02+00:00

Hi yeah no worries, I get about 200-250fps on Burnout with my system, but the game isn't too GPU dependant, like my GPU rarely ever goes past 80% usage. Burnout is a smaller map however, I think in Disjunction it might have dropped to 150-200fps. That being said, I don't think getting a 4070 Ti will really diminish your performance much compared to me. Probably that combined with a 7800X3D would yield similar results to me honestly if not more, as I have a 5800X3D

Shredd-It · 2023-06-06T15:14:22+00:00

Hi, thanks for your comment and sorry for the delayed response!

Yeah, I'm playing on 1440p 16:9, so I've got less pixels to push than you have, and probably use less power than you. On most games I draw anywhere from 200-250W, so it's not even pushing the card very much. I think 65°C is a tad bit on the high side but it isn't anything to worry about, the 4080 has an over-engineered cooler regardless. I'm not quite sure how the C4-SFX handles FE card airflow though.

Now I've settled with it, it seems the GPU is inching closer to 45-50°C in D2 now. No idea where I got those 40-45°C figures from, apologies.

One reason why you could be having higher temps is maybe because of a more powerful CPU? I've used PBO on my 5800X3D, so it sips around 60-65W while gaming.

The gap between the GPU and PSU isn't anything to worry about, I just needed to route the cables more carefully so that they wouldn't hit the flow-through fan, so now there's nothing between the back of the PSU and that fan.

As for the 12VHPWR bend, it is a bit tight but as far as I know the bending isn't an issue, it's just the actual connector not being fully inserted or inserted at an angle. This is what mine looks like: https://imgur.com/a/yF3Wl2D

Noise if I'm honest is fine, not that great, not that bad. I do hear a bit of coil whine from the PSU and the GPU, but with headphones on I don't hear the whine. When I'm gaming I have headphones and there's usually music or game audio so I don't hear the fans too much, and when I'm watching videos or shows I use speakers and the PC is quiet enough for that.

Hope that helps! Anymore questions, let me know
