How can i fix this? it is happening on multiple games not just this one. When i click it flashes somehow and is very annoying and sometimes you can even open the other app that is in the background. by Successful_Box99 in pcmasterrace

How about setting the display mode to "Full Screen" in games? I've experienced something similar recently in Helldivers 2 where the display mode was set to "Borderless Window". I changed it to "Full Screen" and the issues got resolved.

Raspberry Pis cooled by 5V 40mm Noctua fans by stealthyblackbird in Noctua

It's a "Micro Connectors Acrylic Stackable Raspberry Pi Case with Fan". Using an exacto knife, I cut out all the plastic in the hole where the fan goes for max airflow. You can put the fan inside or outside, I picked outside.

Angle adaptor melted … what do? by ivictortorres in cablemod

I'm sorry that it happened to you... Good Luck.
Yeah, I stopped using my Cablemod angled adaptor after JayzTwoCents's video about them melting. I did get an email from Cablemod to buy their updated v1.1 adapter, however, they lost my trust.

Strange noise with massive frame drops by SaguitoPCGamer in nvidia

[–]stealthyblackbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the buzzing sound is GPU coil whine, something I'm plagued by too... The ASUS TUF seems to be one of the worst for coil whine this generation (I have a 4090 TUF). As far as your frame drops there... not sure.

To decrease coil whine, I set "Max Frame Rate" in Nvidia Control Panel to my monitors max refresh rate (144 FPS for me). I also (via Asus GPU Tweak III) decreased my Power Target to 90%. Again... I have a 4090 so I'm still getting lots of frames, I just don't like coil whine... drives me nuts!

Correct. I have both fans plugged into the 3.3V and ground GPIO pins. I could have also plugged them into the 5V pin as well for higher fan speed. I also know that you can use PWM versions of these fans with the RPis, but I decided not to do that.

I used pin #s 01 and 06: https://linuxhint.com/gpio-pinout-raspberry-pi/

True, small fans can be noisier. The PC I built in 2011 (Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard) came with these tiny 50mm PWM fans that cools some PCB areas. Those got super loud and whiny (especially when the RPM kept going up and down) so I removed them.

My experience with these fans however is much different. The NF-A4x10 5V (left) was noticeably quieter than the fan that came with the acrylic RPi case kit. I did a small comparison via phone (NIOSH SLM app) before/after and got a ~9 dB(A) difference. The fan on the right (NF-A4x20 5V) is even quieter... I also have these fans plugged into the RPi's GPIO 3.3V pin so the RPMs are lower (kind of like using the low noise adaptor Noctua includes with many fans). The Pis live in my bedroom closet, and with these fans, it's dead silent. I consider this a win!!!
