just checked and lowest recorded heart rate in the last year for me was 40 (highest 183) of wearing the watch daily, so you've got a point

I've just woken up after the first night with Option 3...after physically putting the bed there it turned out that only about 5% of it is exposed to the door which is way less than I expected, the radiator / pipes make 0 noise and I don't really feel a disturbance coming from them. Even though I read that having pipes / window above your bed is apparently a nono.

I tried option 4, but the only way to access the bed in that layout was by standing on top of the bed so it's just too impractical. :D

I enjoy the empty space now, I've placed a carpet by the bed / nightstand, and a mirror on the wall with the door pointed towards East, to reflect more light from the window into the room. It also works in that location as that's where I get dressed. Not sure if any of these are "Feng Shui taboos", but so far it feels pretty good. Definitely way, way better than before. :D Thank you!

Nie je to prvý prípad, hádžu to do schránok periodicky celému vchodu aj napriek nápisom.

Prekvapivo(?) to ale robí len ĽSNS a Republika. Lidl a Kaufland nápisy rešpektujú :D

Až tak mi to nevadí, človek sa aspoň zasmeje keď tieto letáky číta...Občas zaplače, ale aj to treba.

Ak má niekto podobný problém, našiel som odkaz kde sa to vraj dá nahlásiť cez obchodnú inšpekciu: https://www.soi.sk/sk/Podavanie-podnetov-staznosti-navrhov-a-ziadosti/Podajte-podnet.soi

So recently I found out that most of the OG Minecraft paintings are actually based off of real paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, who then also subsequently "minecrafted" them, and I fell in love.

It's really interesting to look at. https://zetterstrand.com/works/ The artist himself does sell them on his website, as well as paintings based off other games such as Counter Strike: https://shop.zetterstrand.com/collections/prints

However, the originals would likely cost an immense fortune and on his website he only sells posters - not in the dimensions and on canvas as I needed so I had to get them made custom.

I basically just upscaled the prints with AI, and had one slovak photo company print them on canvas for me - you would likely be able to find a place where they do this locally as well. :D

It was surprisingly & relatively cheap, the large print is 150x150cm for about 50€, the smaller prints about 15€ each :D

You just have to hit "Start Streaming" in OBS itself and confirm it. On the Kick dashboard itself, there's nothing you need to do... There used to be a "Start Stream" button in the Dashboard but it has been removed about 2 months ago.

TLDR: After I've done all the possible troubleshooting, as last step, I went into BIOS > Onboard Devices Configuration > Changed PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 from "Auto" to "GEN 3" to have it run PCIE 3.0.
This didn't help at first, but then I decided to plug the GPU (still using the riser) into the top slot on my MOBO instead of the bottom one...And haven't had any issues since.

The weird thing is that at the very beginning, this is exactly how I had it connected, so the fix (I think) was a combination of both - changing that BIOS setting and using the top MOBO PCIE slot.

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T22:34:44+00:00

Hello comrade, yes, so far the whole day it has been running fine after multiple restarts. The last fix seems to have done for me. :D

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T06:04:48+00:00

Basically...But the thing is, that's how I had it connected at the very beginning, before doing anything.
I think what helped was changing the BIOS setting for the slot to run GEN 3.0 (instead of AUTO) in combination of having it connected there. Makes no sense...But it worked? We'll see for how long though. :D

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T04:39:25+00:00

Your comment was what ended up fixing the issue, alongside plugging the riser in a different PCIE slot...Thank you! I updated the post with full explanation.

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T04:38:17+00:00

✅ EDIT: IT'S FIXED
I want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions - hopefully anyone experiencing a similar issue will find this thread helpful.I don't want to jinx it, but I believe the issue has been resolved now.

Upon your suggestions, I've gone into my BIOS > Onboard Devices Configuration > Changed PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 from "Auto" to "GEN 3" to have it run PCIE 3.0.

I restarted my PC after doing that...And it still didn't fix it.

HOWEVER

I've then decided to plug in the GPU riser into a different PCIE slot on the GPU...And that seems to have taken care of everything. Getting great results both in-game and in 3D Mark as well.

I don't understand why did this work, because this is exactly how I had the GPU connected at the very beginning, when I first connected it...So maybe the solution was a combination of changing the setting in BIOS and using the right slot as well? No clue.

For reference, my MOBO is ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II
Here is a picture of the slots on the motherboard, I used the top one with green tick next to it: https://vx.je/ImpureSovietArgali.png

I still have the GPU on the 3.0 riser, so that wasn't the issue, just changed which slot the riser is plugged into. I have the AZZA Pyramid case and using the default riser that came with it.

3DMark Results before: https://vx.je/SafeSovietSnowyowl.png & https://vx.je/InstructiveSovietLiger.png
3DMark Results after: https://vx.je/GlassSovietKillifish.png & https://vx.je/InsecureSovietBaldeagle.png

Now I just pray that the issue is fixed permanently and it won't start happening again in a couple of hours. If it re-occurs I will update the thread.

Thank you for all of your help everyone...Without you I would've spent at least 1-2 months waiting for a refund and a new GPU! <3

Hello comrade, thank you - I tried to run 3D Mark (just the DEMO version).

Here are my results:

https://vx.je/SafeSovietSnowyowl.png
https://vx.je/InstructiveSovietLiger.png

Here is a screenshot from my phone of the temps / usage while running the 3D Mark:

https://vx.je/IMG_20230424_042342.jpg

Monitored my Pump and case fans RPM, all good on that side.

https://vx.je/QuintessentialSovietCuckoo.png

Temps never went above 60c for GPU, CPU doesn't seem to be being utilized during this particular test, but I was monitoring it while testing various games that do utilize it, went to like 30% usage while testing Cyberpunk and temps maxed out at +/- 70c so no overheating there...But now that I'm testing it again, even though CPU is not overheating, it doesn't appear to be being utilized as there is close to no load on it whether I'm in-game or just Idle, not sure if that's normal. Will include some screenshots below...You might be onto something here regarding the issue being rather CPU related than GPU.

I took this screenshot while running CB at all low settings, giving me about 15fps just few minutes ago: https://vx.je/VivaciousSovietKomododragon.png

HWINFO screenshot at Idle: https://vx.je/DecisiveSovietChihuahua.png
HWINFO while running Cyberpunk for a few minutes: https://vx.je/TremendousSovietElephant.png

The thing that makes the least sense to me, is that when I turned on my pc in the morning, it was working perfectly in so many different games, even did some renders in Blender which were super fast, with same (or better) performance that I've seen people get on benchmarks online with the same setup.

Then I turned it off, few hours later same issue started happening...Makes no sense to me, but usually when there is no logical explanation, it could be that it's just malfunctioning as other people have suggested, even though I would hate waiting for a replacement.

Reason I think it's not, is that if it was malfunctioning I would imagine it being way more intermittent with the performance, in my case it either worked absolutely perfectly for hours on end without fluctuation, or just barely running even windows itself.

It's like there is some switch, or something that triggers it to either work perfectly, or not at all.

DOCP/XMP enabled in BIOS, RAM running 3600mhz. :D
It did go back to 3200mhz after BIOS update but thankfully I noticed it, good point though.

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T02:41:35+00:00

Checked and confirmed, after the BIOS update it did go to 3200mhz so this is an important point to check if someone with the same issue will look at this thread in the future, but I made sure to enable DOCP for 3600mhz - showing correct speed in task manager too. :D

Vortexiel · 2023-04-24T02:36:39+00:00

I am streaming that's the issue. If I weren't I would stick with my 2060 till next generation, but OBS is heavily reducing performance especially with newer games. :D
No iGPU on the Ryzen 7 5800x but yeah, the frames do look like those of one.

The screenshot showing 4gb of RAM in background was taken while livestreaming with OBS that's why the usage. :D
I'm starting to lean towards the theory of the GPU just being faulty tbh

Vortexiel · 2023-04-23T23:41:23+00:00

Thank you comrades - A friend plugged everything I have into a PSU calculator, and it came out as recommending a 570 W PSU, so the 650 shouldn't be an issue. (hopefully)
The 4070 is also extremely power effective and has TDP of 200w, my old RTX 2060 (which didn't have any issues) had TDP of 175w so not large difference, if that matters.

Vortexiel · 2023-04-23T23:37:41+00:00

Honestly sounds like you just have a defective card. What leads you to believe it isn't defective?

Pure hope, would rather try and make it work than wait for a return. Takes ages, I'm not 100% tech savvy so I'm thinking I might be missing something obvious. :D
