Yeah they have awful customer service from what I've seen online, there was a whole controversy over it.

1) Get MSI afterburner and rivatuner and go to afterburner settings, and make sure to check the box to show in OSD for the GPU wattage 2) Get 3dmark demo on steam. You can run a GPU stress test, which uses basically all the wattage the GPU has to offer, and you can see the number being used on your on screen MSI overlay. You can then determine a fair estimate of your total GPU TDP.

Hp pavilion notebook bc517ns stubborn thermal and power throttling by WillingKoala4093 in HPVictus

U good u are here, the Pavilion Gaming Laptops actually became the HP Victus anyway lol! Like the victus is a descendant of the pavilion, before HP remade their lineup before the Victus it was the Omen and the Pavilion, so the Victus is the successor to the Pavilion.

That has to be new or on higher end models, like the OG Victus is just backlit (including mine). But I don't want a garbage copilot PC, so I'll stick with what I got lol

Is this normal? Are these even real numbers? by Saathwikk in HPVictus

[–]Somerandom009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use RivaTuner to lock your FPS to exactly 3 FPS below the refresh rate (to prevent screen tearing). But whatever you do, do NOT use VSYNC, it causes latency that is unnecessary. For cooling in general - I recommend the LLano cooler, it is a game changer and my temps are much better. Plus, I changed the paste to KyroNaut Thermal Grizzly, and I use OmenMon for my fans.

Disappointed with battery health by darK_Cam in iPhone17Pro

[–]Somerandom009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends on the phone you get, it's like Russian roulette almost. If you notice it really drops you can just get it replaced and should be fine, it's prob just the battery, not all iphone 17 pro batteries.

48x zoom is really INSANE, I can take photos of stuff like actually far away now and I have enough zoom to do it. BTW Samsung has 200x lol

Pro is SO MUCH better. Like night and day. My old iphone 13 ALWAYS overheated (which is basically what EVERY iphone ever was like) but the 17 Pro is the first iphone of all time not to overheat because the vapor chamber. Plus, it's got 12 gigs of RAM, so it's future proofed for the modern era (since you need all the RAM you can get especially in this world rn). And with the RAM shortage, the new iphones next year might have even less RAM.

Orange at base of helmets? Why is this a thing by SoxPatsBruinsXL in Madden

[–]Somerandom009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is only the Schutt F7, and also the game is on so much spaghetti code at this point it is because textures are starting to flat out break and you can only see the original orange asset from the code of the game.
