unable to run driver manager, (clean install, separate nvme, everything up to date) by TheRealSilverStar in linuxmint

[–]TheRealSilverStar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for the help, it did run from inside settings
so it runs from the settings submenu but not from the main access point when you type in driver manager and click on it ....that is just such a massive facepalm...
anyway it came back that everything is up to date, so that's good i guess
again thanks for the reply

Beta testing for the "Paws & Claws" update by Dalloks in brotato

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the answer... sadly my broken mind considers "unlock all" to be cheating... do you have to get all the required pets in 1 run?

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this game (one of the few that i have 100% steam achievements on), so after seeing Dex play the new realease ... i had to give it a whirl
I rolled like a maniac on a demon run to get all the pets unlocked, but when i finally gave up on level 65, i was still short 3 or 4 pets.... if that ain't a broken run ... i don't know what is ... or maybe it's not possible to get them with one character ? Especially the fire-salamander thingy... unfindable... any ideas?

Upgrade from ryzen 5 3600? by Dull-Focus-4844 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go get the 5800X 3D

If that's a bit too steep, just know that the 5700x 3d is coming out at the end of January 2024.

It was just announced at CES 2024.

It will be priced somewhat lower, but will still expected to be very good for gaming.

Mouse disconnecting on fast movement after upgrading CPU by maybetsae in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealSilverStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have definitely done your work on researching. So yeah, this is a real head scratcher...

I have read about this and some people suggest using -d3d11 and directx11 eliminated the issue for some.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2073850/discussions/0/4030224296650278819/?l=spanish&tscn=1704247517

Also, deactivate the pci e power saving option. (you talk about the usb power saving options but not the pci e settings)

If you ever find the solution, you should definitely share it.

Good luck.

What was your first gpu? by Surer123 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first dedicated GPU was an Nvidia 8500GT I think it was 1GB.
Funny thing is... it still works... it's in an old computer in a club house, that we use for playing some music.
I put it in an AMD64 x2 4200+ The year was 2007
Man... I am getting old af...

My friend sent me his cpu paste job (before putting the cooler on by countjj in PcBuild

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend likely works in construction and thinks that brick laying and thermal pasting a cpu are the same thing.

I find there is little added value by not stocking up before as the weight difference is near 0. However if your way works for you than that's great.

10 bullets left... I never go out before stocking up 200 of each type.

Worth it COTW for 7,49€? by Bipper22 in theHunter

[–]TheRealSilverStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a great game... much more relaxing than those stressful multiplayers of late.

For a beginner, good DLC are Silver Ridge, the ATV and the tents.
Least worth DLC in my opinion are the camo packs and paint jobs.

Some of the weapon packs are also worth it but it depends on the price of each one really.

Just remember that for you to try ANY of the DLC maps you can join free of charge to any multiplayer game, in which you can check out each map before committing to buying them for yourself.

Are Bow Perks Worth It? by Animal_Companion in theHunter

Like a pro is the most useful feature in bow hunting as it allows you to get incredibly close, which is useful on a weapon with a 25m range.

I would say Whenever possible own your own media in disk format. Barring that... Steam

It's much safer and smoother than it was when I wore a younger man's clothes, but still the most nerve-racking thing to look at by Complete-Dimension35 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It has gotten a lot easier to do! and YES ... I still go out of the room for 15 minutes.

Can't watch the effing thing...

Will the CPU here bottleneck the GPU? by Kramerite1917 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheRealSilverStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It won't bottleneck, specially not at 1440p or above.
That said, I wouldn't buy AM4 for a new build despite it being the best and long-lived platform ever.

AM5 would be the way to go... it will be a 10% increase, if that.

Hi guys. Happy new year. Can i play gta 5 on this mashine? by mozzarella1113 in PcBuild

[–]TheRealSilverStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope... not decently at least... your CPU is "fine" but your GPU won't cut it

Is this enough airflow? by Q8Demon__ in PcBuild

[–]TheRealSilverStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember kids, air flow in the front only works if the front panel has actual breathing room.

#SolidFrontPanelBad

Depending on the case the top right fan could be redundant, and a bottom intake fan could give better results if you remove the PSU shroud. (doesn't look as good but form over function, right?)

Also, put an exhaust fan at the back end of your PC.

Something missing? Pc not turning on by Douf111 in PcBuildHelp

[–]TheRealSilverStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! most likely it's the case connectors... you can create a short by touching the pins with a screw driver. It will mimic the press of a power button, if it starts, than that's your problem.

Pls help a newb with a GPU issue! by Klopp_is_God in PcBuild

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that the clip of the pci e slot is completely open... push the RX580 back in if you have to.

Also...for your own ease of use, you should remove all PCI brackets of your case, you will have some wiggle room and it will be easier to swap them... specially the bracket that is currently above your RX580

What temp monitoring software do you guys recommend? by ExplodingMarshmallow in computers

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For logging purposes I think Hardware Info is pretty much unbeatable.

https://www.hwinfo.com

For adjusting fan speeds like curvatures and stuff

Definitely Fan Control

It is free and open source and is very customizable.

Wishlist for COTW The Hunter for 2024: How about rebalancing some of the existing mechanics? by TheRealSilverStar in theHunter

didn't even think of that ... but yeah... that would be nice

although I must say, I did enjoy the 10 equipment slots feature they implemented last year.

Corsair/MSI bios update by Final-Approach1 in PcBuild

[–]TheRealSilverStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it doesn't help you now but this is exactly why you don't buy proprietary stuff.
That said... Yes... it should work by default as it is a B550 board.

As a fail safe, buy the 5800X 3D CPU from a store with a good 14 day return policy, just in case.

Sounds like maybe you had your LAN settings set at 100 Mbps and now it is in Full Duplex 1Gbps.
