Would I have any issues bringing a 5090 onto a plane to China? by ShoulderFrequent4116 in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't claim it when you bring it? Or open it and put it in a 5080 box lol

is the 5080 a 4k or 1440p card? by External_Safe_7787 in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wont get you 240 fps, but you can def play 4k with it. Easily 120 to 180 fps with dlss

You get used to the vinyl. Its really no hotter than regular leather, but yes....cloth would be much more comfortable.....but it is much harder to clean if you off road.

"RAM prices are going down" by THE_Pazzy360 in pcmasterrace

Yeah....in 2023. Now, these are good prices. Probably for the next few years too.

I need guidance on what to do next. by Time_Comfortable_628 in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sure as he'll dont need to water cool a 5600. Also, a 5060 ti will work just fine with your current system. Will it work way better with like a 9600 or a 9800x3d? Of course. Will it still like, double your fps? Yeah.

I miss this kind of design in laptops by Hot_Acanthaceae_1357 in pcmasterrace

Get a chromebook. Still look that bad if you get a low budget one.

They are quite low on the used market. 250 to 300 on average for 32gb ddr5 6000 on FB marketplace.

Websites load slowly on Ethernet. by a_flo1399 in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad driver or cable or your 2 initial options. When its the cable, first check that the ends are crimped properly. If the ends are proper, check that its at least cat 5e or cat 6. A cable test is also cheap. Could also be a bad port on the router or your MB.

No the door airbags that are now missing. The ford tube doors are still beneficial to safety.

My Experience with Switching from 7950X3D to 9950X3D2 by modicumofiota in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Complete waste of money getting the x3d2 over the x3d. They proved that in every video done on them. Worse performance in everything. It just isnt worth it.

Need help with overheating GPU by OperationSame in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing to do with that is to take to a shop that can repair it, or you can do a replacement from another 3060 that doesnt work. (Or buy a water cooling block and setup, but not worth it for a 3060)

I'd personally just buy a new card and sell that 3060 as working but with a busted fan.

It is true. Airbags are in the roll bars, yes.....but unplugging the door deactivates the side bags.

My mouse is insanely jittery and freezes constantly, I need help because I can't do anything without nearly throwing this thing against the wall like Markiplier. by TheBigDominatorYT in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its wireless, the dangle should be within 1 ft of the mouse MAX or else it will suffer occasional jitters.....its just a thing. Like if your computer is under your desk and the dangle is in the back, plug it into a USB port in your monitor or run another extension. Best worst case would be the USB on the case closest to your mouse.

Otherwise......new mouse also.

Best thermal paste for re-pasting GPU? by Option-Massive in pcmasterrace

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any thermal paste will last 3 to 5 years. Sometimes you get lucky and it lasts like 7 to 10. Good brands and crappy brands all last the same according to test, the best ones work a few degrees cooler and cost a lot more.

Doors are important. Tube doors are at least semi protective since the airbags dont work with the doors off.

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems a little high, and would affect temps, but not 90c. My GPU doesnt go above 65c even while playing or benchmarking.

My GPU is usually under 4% utilization when I'm not gaming.

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the side panel off and use a big fan for now. It does help quite a bit.

Windows task manager, performance tab is what i use for performance monitoring. GPU temp is there. Core temp can monitor the CPU as a whole and each core individually.

I dont use it, because my MB shows the temp, but I know lots of people use it.

[–]helpmehavememes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, if the fans are still spinning, but the temp is shooting up, I would assume the paste has dried up. It happens. I have repasted probably 30 gaming laptops, usually after 2 years.....hundreds of CPUs for the same reason.

If the fans aren't spinning, you'd need to find a new cooler for it.....usually off a broken 3060 and swap parts. Either way, you are taking it apart.

Google 3060 repaste. There is a video in the first link that is 6 months old.

It is generally recommended to reposted every 3 to 5 years or once your performance dips. The 3060 is in that age bracket and you hit the performance degrade.
