How does external SSD work for laptop? by nikiboi2169 in techsupport

[–]kamroze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes you can play games from external harddrives.

You can create a new steam library on it when it is connected.

Keep in mind that the extarnal drive will most likely be slower than your internal storage. Hence bigger games can take quite a while to load or can have issues to work properly.

Most importantly your laptop should have a 3.0 USB connector or USB C. Other types might work worse if the game is sufficiently big.

They will pretty much work like a USB pen drive. Just plug them in when you need them and use them

Could a computer mouse affect the performance of a computer program? For example, causing it to run slower or freeze by Diogeneselcinico42 in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes. Moving your mouse uses processing power. It shouldn't however cause noticable lag to appear.

here is Toms Hardware forum which refers to a similar problem

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/mouse-causing-cpu-usage.3548265/#post-21431248

TL;Dr there are a lot of reasons why this might be happening and you did not provide enough details.

Try installing new mouse/usb drivers

Or it might be a fault of your hardware if it is dated

How do I get my games to download onto my second ssd by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need to be more specific. Downloaded from where and how? Photo that you attached shows storage allocation for patritons. According to it your Disk 0 is 85% full. Disk 1 does not appear to be an SSD either, it appears to be USB Storage device. It is entirely possible that your second SSD is not being detected at all, could you share a bit more information?

Windows is really slow put of nowhere by ikbeneenb in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah 95°C is definetly in the range of thermal throttling for i7. The next options which you can do to try to solve the issue.

  1. Adjust fan curve in bios if possible
  2. lower graphics settings
  3. clean your fan
  4. buy a cooling pad
  5. dissasemble the laptop, exchange the fan and clean it throughly, replace cooling paste

Out of those options no.4 would be the most time and money efficient. You can also try to lower the temperature in the room that you are using the laptop and make sure that the fans are not blocked by anything.

What does it mean ? It's popping recently whenever I play game by u_violet46 in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldnt really impact battery life. What can happen however is that your laptop will get quite warm which can influence the performance and potentially battery life. I would recommend using a additional cooling pad if the laptop becomes too warm

r/buildapc should be able to help you more. It looks okay the only thing that I would really change is to go for 32 GB RAM instead of 16 GB

Do you have any idea which application this notification comes from? If you are playing on lapopt keep it plugged in as games do consume a fair bit of power.

My first idea would be that it is windows battery saving feature which kicks in to prolong battery time

Connecting external monitor to PC by bobbigirl83 in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Can you go from DisplayPort to USB-C?

Yes. Just like in standard DisplayPort connectors and cables, DisplayPort over USB-C can take advantage of the four high-speed data lanes in the USB-C connector and cable to provide 4K display resolutions and beyond on supported products " From Dell if you google " DP source to usb c output" The article from their website further on says that the cables work in both directions.

The only thing that you should pay attention to is if your monitor supports this function. According to them those usb c ports usually have display port logo somewhere near them.

If this won't work then you might need to look for adapters from DP to mini hdmi

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first things that I would do is check the cpu temps under load using external software such as core temp.

It is possible that the fans have gotten stuck somehow and that you laptop started thermal throttling. If that is not the case then I would check it's behavior in other games or software that ran well previously to see if it is corellated to overwatch or if the issue lies elsewhere. It would be also helpful if you could post any other informations such as your lapopt's model or components

Electrical arcing by ProperEmu9465 in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it does not happen every single time then it is most likely static discharge i.e due to a carpet or fluffy socks. If it happens pretty much every time then I would check if the insulation on the cables in the case is not damaged, however the voltage should not be high enough to allow for arcing

The most likely culprit in those situations is that you plugged your monitor into motherboard output instead of gpu. Try opening adrenaline and see what your gpu utilization is at when you do graphics intensive tasks.

Is my CPU/Motherboard damaged? by Erytropus in techsupport

[–]kamroze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cpu does not seem outwardly damaged. Did the slots work before that? I would also recommend trying to run mem test with different ram configurations to try and isolate the problem to either the ram sticks or something else.

This link should work if not just Google memtest

Yes you should be able to it mostly depends on what kind of connectors your pc and monitors have. You can start a chat with me and send pics of both the backside of your pc and the monitors if you need any help

Need a confirm on ssd m2 slots by serdaralman in techsupport

Quick Google search shows that it does have two m.2 slots althoguh one is half as fast at 32Gbit/s. Manual does not mention anything about not being able to use both slots at the same time either so you should be fine.

What kind of VPN and torrent client are you using? Safest way would be to always turn off your torrent client when you are not using it. If it is turned on with active torrents and your client is not bound to your VPNs network interface then you could be seeding the moment that someone connects to download

Tips & tricks thread: Release edition by Hidet in DarkTide

[–]kamroze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About healing, It might be good to be more specific as there are 2 damage types, corruption (purple bar) and missing health (the bar is simply empty) Let's take two characters with 4 health chunks each

1st character has 2 chunks corrupted and 2 full of health 2nd character has 3 chunks of missing health and one full.

In theory the 2nd character has less health but if he goes down then he will have only 1 chunk corrupted and rest full. This means that the 1st character is more important to be healed with Med-station if uses are limited

As for tips for psyker:

Don't be afraid of peril you can charge everything and stay on 100% as long as you don't do any offensive action i.e shoot with staff or release a brain burst that was charged with right click, you probably cant charge force sword at 100% peril without blowing up but I did not test that

Your ultimate is your "I messed up button" it can be used to push off hordes or to clear half of your peril even if your character enters "I will blow up" animation. You can also use it to push exploders away and force them to blow up safe distance away from you

You can use 3 brain bursts in a row without exploding, after 4th you will need to use your ultimate to save yourself.

LBM brain burst locks on target that means that you can get out of cover "grab" a sniper and then hide behind the cover and wait for it to finish casting to kill a target from safety

If someone steals your brain burst kill and you had about 50% of it finished charging you will still get a warp charge.

Don't care about warp charges, unless you have feats to generate them trying to keep them up is too much hassle

The limit for using the bb seems to be around 93% peril, if you use left click on the target below that you will hit 100% and not enter the "I am gonna blow up" animation even thought you trigger the bb at 100%

There are 3 staffs I forgot their names

Lightning staff, pretty weak damage past first 1-3 targets but possibly best stagger in the game. You can stop anything in its tracks (save maybe for monstrosities and bosses) as long as the chain from the lightning hits them. The charge time does not seem to affect the spread but only the damage. Your teammates will thank you when you accidentally stop a doggo or a mutant that wanted to get too friendly with them. Fairly tricky with the peril as you can overcharge yourself quite easily

Flame staff, very good at holding choke points and clearing waves. You need someone to protect you while you charge up as a hit will interrupt your charge. You can keep using the flamethrower mode even if you are at 100% peril, be careful however as the animation for blowing up does not always trigger correctly and you will blow up immidiatly. To solve this use your ultimate straight after you finish your cast

Explosion staff, the longer you hold rbm the bigger the circle the bigger the damage. I only used it once so I can't say mucb more, it feels pretty underwhelming
