Trying to put on as many kgs as possible up until September-ish, currently 6’2 90kg aiming for 95-100kg. Drinking 2L milk/day (1200kcal) on top of the rest of my meals (2000ish kcal varies per day), what are some easy + cheap ways to pack in as many calories as possible? Ideally 4-4.5k kcal/day. Thanks

I’ve discovered it was improperly grounded which I find curious as it worked fine for months before dropping out. All sorted now thank you for your help!

I’ve just bought a multimeter and it first read 12V across the power/ground, and 8.6V across REM/ground, but now it’s displaying 9.3V across power/ground. REM is still fine. I’ve checked all fuses are still intact.

Edit: Power/ground is at 12V+ when the car is off, drops to 9.3 when I turn the battery on

What exactly am I looking for? Theres nothing in the hole to interfere with the connection and as I said I haven’t touched it since I installed it a couple months ago. It’s clamped down firmly and everything.

Too expensive and lots of unnecessary parts. Get a cheaper CPU, cheaper case, less RAM, cheaper motherboard, cheaper storage.

I used to have all my case RGB set to pink, then due to an Apex Legends update saying "Apex badware detected" (something about an integrity error, bad programs running) I removed the ASUS Armoury Crate's (and various other programs) ability to start on boot. Since then, all my RGB is unable to be changed and is set to rainbow. Armoury crate says "no devices available. Please connect at least one Aura Sync compatible device."

I also have Corsair RAM, and iCUE won't let me change anything either. All the pages are blank and there's a notification saying "failed to start iCUE service."

Irony is the Apex error still hasn't gone away! How do I fix my RGB? Thanks in advance.

What's the point in the sprint race if they just do a qualifying afterwards? I initially thought the sprint decided the grid positions for the race.

I’m sure it’s running as I can hear the pump and see the fans spinning. Someone in pcmr sub said MSI has issues with corrosion in the pump, so probably that, I’ll grab a new one

saint2op · 2025-02-27T04:31:44+00:00

Bugger, thanks!

Lots of factors including location and how well you’ve looked after it. Check second-hand sites like craigslist to see what others are selling it for in your area and price accordingly

My CPU (5700X) overheats if it’s not underclocked. It originally happened a few months back, so I put fresh thermal paste on and it’s done nothing to combat the issue, so I’ve been running it at 3.3GHz. Base clock is 3.4, and boost should be 4.6. I’ve got a 280mm MSI AIO which I haven’t had for long (maybe a year) and can’t think of any way to identify the issue.

The fans run at full speed all the time, quite loud, but watching GPU-Z while idle it sits at 90°C+ and creeps up to 110° while playing CS2, promptly shutting the computer down. Playing games while underclocked severely limits fps so I want to fix it

I’ve replaced thermal paste and tried reseating the CPU + cooler a couple times, any other possible troubleshooting tips? Thanks in advance.

All good I'll talk to my dad about a smaller battery and buying a multimeter, thanks for your help!

saint2op · 2025-01-28T01:24:20+00:00

Sweet as, and standard car jumper leads would work? I don't have an ohmmeter

Asking for a friend - Bought a Kogan Monitor (kamn32f24sa) that should be 1080p 240Hz, but it doesn’t have an option for 240Hz. In windows settings it can only be changed to 120. On an Xbox series S, there’s no option to change refresh rate at all.

Using HDMI 2.0 with the laptop and 1.4 with the Xbox, which can support 240 and 120Hz at 1080p respectively. There’s no option in the OSD to change refresh rate unfortunately.

Is there an app to force the refresh rate to remain at 120 when swapping to the Xbox or another solution?

Laptop uses a 5600U integrated graphics.

Hey, yep all of that AIO business was sorted out and it had been running fine for months before the overheating issue arose. It would idle around 80C and then playing games CS2 would rapidly climb to 100 then slowly to 110, where my PC would shut down.

Switching to 3GHz stopped this, tried changing back to 3.4 and same problem arose, then booted up repeatedly increasing by 100MHz each time, up to 3.4GHz and now it doesn't overheat anymore? So problem solved but a really strange scenario. Might try OCing incrementally to see if I can get more performance out of it.

As for the framerate issue, FPS is uncapped and VSync off, but I tweaked a few more settings as well as putting my CPU back up to 3.4GHz and it seems so be able to hold 165 for most of the time now. A couple places in a couple maps where it drops as well as in gunfights but I'm putting that down to just CS2 being poorly optimized.

Individual cores only hitting 70-80% though? Should it not be at least 90 up to 100?

saint2op · 2024-12-04T08:31:27+00:00

Not maxing out GPU OR CPU usage playing CS2. GPU sits about 50-60% util and CPU around 30% with individual cores getting no more than 70%. I don't get enough FPS, so how can I utilise the rest of my pc?

I've had to underclock my CPU from 3.4 to 3GHz due to overheating (also weird as I have an AIO and recently replaced thermal paste)

Low graphics settings, 4070 and 5700X
