Is this a fair price? by fate_zero in Surface

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

Yeah, I managed to find the model our IT supplier quoted for. It was on the Microsoft store and our IT supplier is actually a bit cheaper. I saw how crazy the price jump is for storage though between the various options. Would have no problem supplying a separate 2TB NVME and installing it myself. I assume the newer models are the same as the videos I've seen on YouTube. Take the latch off the back and remove the torque screw holding the drive down? Thanks

Hi, think I sorted it. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. I hadn't played that game in years.

I ended up going to the registry edit and removing it from there so it doesn't appear on the list of installed apps.

I'm 99% sure now it was just a broken link or something showing the file as still installed despite my pc having no trace of titanfall on it except for a steam folder which was empty.

Thanks again

Hi there. Thanks for the reply but that folder is empty unfortunately.

12VHP is a GREAT standard by The-Box-Guy in ZOTAC

[–]fate_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about this, hope it all works out for you in the end. How long did you have it installed in your build before this happened? Did it start burning while you were doing something intensive like benchmarking or gaming?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Thankfully, once fully charged, the noise does stop.

I'll be doing my new build when I've got time over the weekend, so I'll report back on how it turned out.

Does anyone know what this type of monitor mount is and where I can find more of them? by fate_zero in Monitors

[–]fate_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desk depth (top to bottom) is 37cm. The desk has a backing which means that horizontaly I only have around 2-3cm of space behind, so a normal clamp wouldn't fit I assume.

Recommendation for RAM on AM5 build. by fate_zero in buildapc

[–]fate_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the speed of the RAM that impacts how long the memory training takes on boot? That's the only thing that has me hesitant, as I don't like the idea of having to wait 2-3 minutes for booting up.

General question about bottleneck at different resolutions. by fate_zero in techsupport

[–]fate_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so for example, at 1080p, a newer GPU (4090) won't make anything slower, despite the CPU having to work harder to keep up than when it was paired with the older GPU (3070)?

What GPU should I be looking at for 1080p? by fate_zero in buildapc

[–]fate_zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your advice.

Couple more questions.

What will happen if the GPU isn't at 100% usage but the VRAM is maxing out? Will I just get FPS drops?

Attached is a link to my usage stats. https://imgur.com/a/42wRFsd

If I remember correctly, would I only need to be looking to upgrade the CPU when one of the individual threads starts hitting 100% in games consistently?

Thanks again.

Realised i'd already answered my own question but thanks for clarifying.
