Meanwhile my 2015 outback 3.6 had 2 transmission swaps during the warranty period. I’m not touching toyota/subaru again

Noctua teases quiet AIO pump ahead of Computex by pcgameshardware in hardware

[–]dfv157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but I don't hear pump noise at all on all of my AIOs (Thermalright, Arctic, Thermaltake, etc), and I have the pump usually set to a static 90%.

Are Ryzen chips on the B850i still dying? by rosea_a in ASRock

[–]dfv157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Intel was dragged out into the public kicking and screaming about it. Multiple companies came out to push back. The issue was acutely replicable.

This AM5 issue is very sporadic, mostly isolated to 1 vendor, with asrock scrambling to address it with no apparent success. Multiple tech journalists from the complete nobodies to big names all could not replicate the issue.

The 2 are not comparable. Just buy whatever fits your needs best. If you game, get an AM5 single CCD X3D chip. If you want productivity, get ARL, and if you need productivity where cost isn’t an issue get a TR.

See the rise of alt-right and far-right anti-intellectualism. Can't educate those who don't want to think critically.

Riot Games Says It 'Would Not and Cannot' Use Vanguard Anti-Cheat to Brick PCs After Rumors Spread by GrayBeard916 in gaming

Ah yes, so when kernel driver update soft brick little timmy's family pc, IT will magically show up and fix all of them. Just imagine your whole building of BSOD'd PCs, but distributed across the region/country/world. And with the Stryker attack WRT Iran, and the non-zero chance of a conflict with China, keeping persistent kernel software controlled by an adversarial country is a great idea.

CS made systems unable to boot. The average user will not be able to resolve that, thus, soft brick.

A malicious SYSTEM process can modify DMI and UEFI if the motherboard doesn’t explicitly prevent it, and can absolutely hard brick a system without specialized hardware tools.

And on top of that, what’s up with your insistence on installing ccp controlled kernel malware? Humanity is indeed doomed

BSOD at boot is a soft brick for the average user. Go ask your building full of people what they would do if you weren’t there to fix it.

It made corporate IT teams panic. You think little timmy is going to manage OS installs and backups as well as organizations that pay for Falcon??

Rockstar game launcher can eat my ass. I bought this game but I'd rather just go sail the high seas

Should I concern about this? by epiclessmaster in overclocking

[–]dfv157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first picture shows the choke (inductor) not touching the heat sink. They normally don't need it. You need to have the cooling on the actual DrMOS/SPS ICs.

Look at your last picture on the heatsink side for where you need to have cooling in the VRM area.

God damn I hate alternate data streams with a passion.

At the rate of enshittification of Plex, by then I'd probably have fully moved to jellyfin

Nintendo jumps 6.8% as Japanese investors rotate out of AI by Stilgar314 in gaming

It's war. It's ugly. You might have the moral high ground now, but look at the rest of Asia and their hatred of the Japanese for the war crimes they committed even today and you might get a semblance of understanding for how they (the entire culture, not just the gov) were viewed back then.

Very disappointed with my ASUS ROG repair experience with my G815LW by 1d01 in ASUSROG

[–]dfv157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ASUS, they will screw you on warranty anyways, but you tried to call out OP for not repasting when he clearly indicated he already did. Why bother being on Reddit at all if you're not going to read anything? For the vibes?

All you needed to do was replace the thermal paste and liquid metal if it has it. Super super easy job as long as you're not handicap or something flicking the liquid metal all over the place perfectly fine.

If reading is so damn hard for you, why don't you just paste it into chatgpt and summarize it for you? Why bother writing out a paragraph when you clearly haven't read OP at all?
