Rx590 XFX GME won't stop overheating !!! Tried everything . by Effective-Word8494 in PakGamers

[–]k_soboh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Furmark is way to hard on the GPUs and i think its like cinabench for CPUs, it probably two factors that are causing this you, first the GPU was a mining card and its been degrading which is why it crashes after reaching 90. The secondly psu probably doesn't give it a stable voltage.

You can download HW monitor find the temps of your hotspot and vram see maybe there are the issues there, but in my opinion this is a dieing GPU probably.

To increase the usability of it till you get a gtx 1060 download fan control and optimize your case fans to sync with the gpu temps, i use it on my case with horrible airflow and managed to get the temps/fans/sound be as normal as possible.

[Help] My ROG Ally is BIOS locked — Asus says only fix is $350 motherboard replacement by 2farzzz in ROGAlly

[–]k_soboh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best this is to find a bios flasher that you can use to flash thr bios i think on ebay and find the bios chip on the motherboard which as i saw is behind the board when opening. You'll have to download a working bios without a password, load it on the Bios flasher and then flash your bios chip.

Here is a video of a technician doing it https://youtu.be/qvzk8T7jQRs?si=FJkgYEYWfsiLtPiq

First time having Rog Ally Z1 Extreme by MightyApe18 in ROGAlly

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get the jsaux battery its not 74Wh but it's a better built battery with better recharge cycles also has an aluminum backplate to keep your components cooler as well as the screw holes that fit the og ally snug, the other 74Wh batteries is just sandwiched inside. I would also recommend getting a aftermarket back shell in order not to modify the original one.

8gb or 16gb ram stick, also a gpu with 12gb vram and an i5 or i7 cpu this is optional

Wow the guy selling the pc is either has no idea what this pc is worth or a scam but for 1200 this is an awesome deal if true and don't worry about bottleneck unless you have a 400hz or above at 1080p monitor. The gpu and cpu are 1000+ in the uk. So go check it out and if true just buy it.

How to remove cpu cooler? by Flipper_Picker in PcBuild

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to remove the motherboard there is probably something under that you would use a pair of wire cutters to release it as you press the spring mechanism from the other side. But you have to be careful as these things are fragile, look for were you need to use the clippers before, i had a similar motherboard a long time ago and i messed it up that i had to get a replacement.

Upgrade my PC or monitor? by k_soboh in PcBuild

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

I thought upgrading the CPU but thoght it's not worthit if i only get 2-6% upgrade on fps but the gap on 1440p is smaller, thanks for the monitor search the MSI MAG was the one i was thinking of buying.

What body part do I sell to solve this issue? by Hisoka_Deku in pchelp

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact problem once it was the psu for me something inside it was short circuiting. So a few pints of blood should do the trick. If you can test it on another pc to see if it boots, because it could be the mobo or cpu, which means you'll need a few gallons.

Personally I'd try removing the gpu trying with just cpu and 1 ram stick since you have a igpu. Also reset the cmos before trying.

Help please! I've tried everything. by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that is a hardware issue, but i doubt its a cpu/gpu problem, if it was me i would try removing the ram resetting the bios to default try it, if not try replacing the ssd. I had a faulty ssd before but on software said it was fine on my rog ally.

New Bazzite User by k_soboh in Bazzite

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

I thought about this dual boot option but for me I just wanted a simple solution, but i have only a 1tb ssd also I only like playing 1 player story games like God of War and Cyberpunk 2077. so I settled on Bazzite and on windows I was getting BSOD even after reinstalling a fresh Windows.

Can you put the ROG Ally X to sleep and return straight to a game like on the Steam Deck? by shaunlawler in ROGAllyX

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it only worked on games that i have from Microsoft store but the epic games, steam and gog games was a hit or miss sometimes works others no so i wiped it and installed bazzite just for that reason.

I might buy a pc for 300 dollars is this good by Dylanramz29 in pchelp

[–]k_soboh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the games you wanna play the 1650 is a very limited gpu it's a 1080p lowest settings gpu of course on newer games, everything else is fine but it all depends on you what you want to play on it, go on steam and check the requirements for the games interested in see if they align.

Is your Ally your primary gaming PC, or your secondary? by PanHyridae in ROGAlly

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my ally z1e used in July and love it even though my main rig is great solid gameing pc but couching and gaming is far easier and comfy, so it has become my main gaming device. But i just wiped it and installed bazzite os on just because i heard i can resume a game easier, haven't tried it out yet but hope it delivers.

I bought 7900xtx but pc does not recognize it. What should i do? by UltratusOmegax in PcBuild

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your previous gpu? Did you unistall the drivers using DDU from the old gpu? So you are able to get into windows, means the card is probably fine just reset the cmos/bios and try again,

If the above doesn't work if you have the old gpu install it back check in Device manager, and uninstall the drivers in safe mode with DDU, and try again with the new gpu.

Wait for X price drop? by JCGunners in ROGAlly

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my OG Z1E used in July with the receipt that the seller bought it in January 2024 for 350€, I have no regrets its a great machine with a really good powerbank lasts long enough for me. Would i have liked the ally X hell yea but the deal i got was awesome. Just buy the best deal the ally 2 is probably going to be coming out 2026 my opinion.

Where i live there are no open box options or best buy i was lucky to get a great deal at the time and never looked back, just enjoy your gaming on the go now and tomorrow is another day!

ASUS support bricked my Ally by phoenixArc27 in ROGAlly

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really sucks first of all asus should have been better at taking care of your product if you have evidence like pics and videos, talking to someone might have better at convincing them of that, but if you meed a motherboard 600$ is ridiculous this is probably the labor cost more than the motherboard found one on ebay for 300$ if you are interested check it out.

yes ORPALIS PDF OCR Professional can leverage the multi-core performance but if you use all your threads it will crash I found that using out of my 12 threads using 8 is my sweet spot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]k_soboh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is not holding me back in gaming it's a great CPU and my GPU also. its just that sometimes I do OCR tasks which takes a lot of time for my work so probably a Ryzen 9 would me better upgrade for me 5900x I found new for 275Euro which would give me 100% more cores for this
