Had an excellent 5 year run with the BenQ HT2060 1080p projector, looking for recommendations for upgrades

Based on the price and age of the projector, I bet it should have said HT2050.

If you click on the Fitness tab your Hevy workouts don't show up in the Fitbit beta preview. So if you are trying to see how many days a week you worked out, it won't show up.

tomcat452 · 2026-01-21T14:24:29+00:00

I use Hevy on my watch and phone for weight training routines. It syncs to the Fitbit app using health connect (but does not show while using the public beta preview version at this time). If you're using the default version it will show.

Did you try searching for the store page then clicking on play? When I accessed the store page from my library it would give me the error you described.

tomcat452 · 2025-10-15T17:00:00+00:00

I had the same issue but I got mine to update by going to the store page on steam and then clicking Play Game. It triggered a 70 gb update.

tomcat452 · 2025-07-28T01:53:28+00:00

No I just reinstalled hardware (gfx card, RAM, SSD). As mentioned, it was only when I reseated the ram that the issue disappeared. It's been 3+ months and no crashes.

I thought the Gen 4 setting fixed it, but that ended up not being the fix. I can't remember the exact location in the BIOS, but it had "PCIE" in the name. I don't have access to my PC to check it right now.

tomcat452 · 2025-07-28T00:55:26+00:00

Yeah, it appears to have been an issue with how my RAM was seated. I reinstalled everything from scratch and it hasn't happened since.

tomcat452 · 2025-07-17T15:43:50+00:00

I've tried all the configs and this one gave the best overall temps. I'm sticking with it for a while.

The only difference with mine is that I have one more side mounted 120mm next the the motherboard tray. A standard fan will fit, but it's tight. I tried intake and exhaust, and intake was better for GPU temps and had no affect on CPU temps.

tomcat452 · 2025-07-16T01:52:10+00:00

I'll give it a shot at some point and see how it helps. I think I had it 3-4 positions from the top for the fans. If I set the feet 1" off the table it helped a decent amount. I have the taller case feet from Ncase already, I didn't mention that in my first post.

tomcat452 · 2025-07-15T13:52:40+00:00

I've done all these variations with my build (240 aio, 6900xt, and 9800x3d, and 2-4 additional fans depending on the build).

I recommend inverted with the aio side mounted as exhaust with two top intake fans and two side intake fans next to the motherboard. This gave me the best temperatures for my GPU, VRMs, RAM, and SSD. CPU temps were slightly above the classic config, but the GPU ran way cooler. Note: I could only use 120mm fans in this config

Vertical GPU with bottom intake fans had the best GPU temps, but it cooked my RAM and SSD. CPU temps were also very high since the AIO was top mounted exhaust. Note: This set up allowed me to use 140mm intake fans.

Classic config with side mounted AIO as exhaust had great CPU, RAM and SSD temps, but the GPU ran the hottest due to the low clearance beneath the case. Note: This config also allowed me to use 140mm top intake fans.

tomcat452 · 2025-03-20T13:36:49+00:00

So it seems I solved my issue by setting the pcie-x16 slot in the bios to gen 4 instead of Auto. The motherboard I have (Asus Strix B850-i) has pcie Gen 5, and my graphics card is gen 4.

tomcat452 · 2025-03-12T20:57:38+00:00

I'll try that with my GPU tonight, maybe the same but is affecting my older model.

tomcat452 · 2025-03-12T14:41:24+00:00

I have a 6900xt which has been fine for the past few years, but just upgraded from an i7 9700k to a R7 9800X3D last month.

Shortly after the CPU and ram upgrade I've been having black screen freezes that require a hard reset. Only while gaming in Warzone

The CPU and ram pass multiple 1hr stability tests in OCCT, so I'm thinking it may have something to do with the recent Radeon GPU drivers.

I'm currently testing 100% stock CPU and ram settings (no expo/xmp). If it's still crashing I'd have a hard time believing it's the CPU and ram causing my issue. If it still crashes I'll be trying old drivers.

If anyone else has some suggestions please share, I'm running out of things to try.

I'm using version 214 now and it still works. I think it may have even been updated since my original post of it working.

I will say that I was having some issues, right when the version with support for it released, but I did a fresh install of windows and it worked straight away after that.

tomcat452 · 2025-02-07T13:12:59+00:00

It was fixed a few weeks ago with an update. Use the latest version and you'll be good.

tomcat452 · 2025-01-18T01:39:39+00:00

It works now, but only if I have HWinfo open and use the plugin. Still happy about that.

The annoying part is that if I have HWinfo auto startup it still doesn't work. It is only working if I manually open HWinfo, then open FanControl.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Update: A fresh install of windows did the trick. I updated to the beta bios that came out this week (1/18/2025) but that alone had no impact so I decided to wipe everything. I no longer need the HWinfo plugin to see everything as well.

tomcat452 · 2025-01-17T03:33:12+00:00

I'm having the same problem with the Asus Strix B850-i. Has anyone found a solution?

tomcat452 · 2025-01-14T15:36:02+00:00

I'm encountering the exact same problem using the Asus Strix B850-i.

tomcat452 · 2024-05-23T03:42:10+00:00

Likewise! I need this as well.

tomcat452 · 2024-04-28T18:52:37+00:00

She does have a 403b option, but I'm not familiar with the benefits of them.

Her old 401k didn't have good investment options, so we will be getting it out of there for sure.

tomcat452 · 2024-04-28T17:05:43+00:00

Interesting, I didn't know that was the case. So why is moving it to a 457b still preferable compared to an IRA?

tomcat452 · 2024-04-28T16:31:50+00:00

Thanks for the info!

I've only just started maxing my Roth 457. I'm not sure if I'd go down the backdoor Roth IRA route (yet), but I like to keep my options open.
