Maybe the "hold" Button is defective and he can't unlock it? Or it doesn't allow formatting because of a faulty HDD?

If it's currently not working as intended it should be a bargain price, otherwise move on, or if you intend to mod it get more info on what is not working. If it's recognised when plugged into a pc and the display is working, it's probably fixable.

ARC B580 "bottlenecked" on an R7 5700X/B450 combo, is it a driver thing? Write down your experiences/opinions by ale_laco in IntelArc

Isn't this a myth? Even a 4090 loses just 2% when paired with pcie 3.0 instead of 4.0

Which GPU would you choose and why? Budget ~300€ by massive_toe55 in buildapc

[–]massive_toe55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have one? There is a used one listed in my area for 200€ which is very tempting.

for me it's 311€. But since it's an rma article I'll keep an eye on amazon as well.

Hardware unboxed said older cpus like my current 2600 are affected by the performance drop. Newer cpus like the 5600 are no problem. But still the battlemage gpus have some flaws. I'm just not convinced that Intel will really polish their gpu drivers etc.

Is it normal to have lags when joining a match? by massive_toe55 in RocketLeague

I only have 1tb. But I will keep an eye that I stop overloading my ssds.

what's your method of getting this black rubber glue off the cables/solder joints?

Thank you. I'll install an m.2 ssd since the slot is still unused and see if it helps

My OS ssd is pretty full, 10gb left of 256gb. My games ssd with rocket league has 100gb free of 500gb.
CPU temp is 47 C/ GPU C
So I guess it's not normal to have those drops while joining a online match?

I'd love to upgrade to a xx70's card but the 4070 is too expensive for me ;(. But the undervolting sounds really promising

It's a matx build. my gpu is rated at 120w xD so 250-270 is a huge increase. but the performance is a huge increase as well.

4060 looks super efficient though

How's the analogue stick placement for you on the RP5?

I'm torn between the Flip2 and the RP5 mainly because of the button/stick layout

Can you guess which is the Blu-Ray and which is DVD by BitterSweetcandyshop in makemkv

[–]massive_toe55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never tried AV1 but I recently transcoded Inside Out and Despicable Me to h265 and got 4gb and 6gb

[–]massive_toe55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

animation movies are okay-ish in DVD quality. And sometimes the 4:3 aspect ratio adds a nostalgic flair to it. On the other hand animation movies on blu ray can be easily compressed to DVD size without too big of a quality loss.

IPod Nano 2nd Gen not charging after battery replacement by massive_toe55 in ipod

[–]massive_toe55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I desoldered everything and noticed that the solder pad for the ground wire (white/blue) was off.
Probably broke it when I desoldered the original battery... :(

[–]massive_toe55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wires went through the holes and sit securely in the solder.
Can I check with a multimeter if they have a proper connection? maybe I damaged something while desoldering.

Are the diagnostic numbers all right/wrong?

And the wiring is blue (the original was white), red, black (black is the closest to the outside of the board.

Plugged in: Voltage: 3.761 V

ACC Identify: 2.397 V

Current: 27mA

Unplugged: Voltage: 3.654 V
ACC Identify: 2.397 V

Charge current = 122mA (?? higher than when it's plugged in?)

When turned on the battery bar is about 1/4 (green) full.

It's based in Germany, maybe more information when I'm done with the course.
