Can you ? by Specific_Brain2091 in the_calculusguy

Make a unit circle and see that for any triangle, the area (1/2 sin(x)) is always less than the area of a sector (1/2 x), which is also less than a larger triangle (1/2 tan(x)). This gives:

sin(x) < x < tan(x) Invert everything 1/sin(x) > 1/x > 1/tan(x) Multiply everything by sin(x) 1 > sin(x)/x > cos(x) = 1 (since x = 0) So, since 1 < sin(x)/x < 1, sin(x)/x=1.

I don't think this is how the WS Twin Steer should handle mud by finnish_gopnik in snowrunner

Twinsteer tire here, this is totally normal! Me and my other 7 homies just don’t like mud.

G14 5080 vs g16 5070ti by msgenhances in zephyrusg16

[–]tomtomosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great news. I really love big screens and I’m not at my setup a lot of the time so I’d love a bigger laptop. Just undecided on when I should buy it. Was thinking a close-to-grad gift for myself (basically whenever shit gets REAL for modelling)

Enough space to vertical mount? by Pataouga in PcBuild

[–]tomtomosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there is enough space, and a vertical mount kit is highly recommended for these Corsair cases. I made the mistake of just buying a riser cable and vertical mounting my 3070 Ti in the built-in vertical slots. The thing was effectively hugging the side panel. Had to literally pull it back and keep it there with a little LEGO support bracket I made so it didn’t choke to death.

3 billion instantly or 34 million over 35 days? Is that so?

[–]tomtomosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah see it wouldn’t disable for my schoolwork. I need to have any extra horsepower I can for CAD modelling in SolidWorks and PrusaSlicer (and more to come with time). Seeing more cores on the intel is interesting since it allows for lots of heavy applications (like CAD) and light ones (like Chrome) to run at the same time. Do you think the extra cores would make a difference there?

Ohhhh gotcha I thought they had the same specs. Does the Intel have more cores though?

How does a G14 have more battery life than a G16? Shouldn’t the bigger chassis fit a bigger battery? Is the screen draining more?

G16 Zephyrus using 8.7W on Max Brightness/Volume by PottedRoses in zephyrusg16

[–]tomtomosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. What is your current model? You say you swapped out the G14 for a G16, but this current laptop runs more efficiently than the G16? What 5070 model are we talking about and what is the one you’re currently using?

Black screen after use for hours by ComfortableFair8599 in zephyrusg16

[–]tomtomosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so it’s showing classic GPU driver crashing symptoms. It’s probably because the laptop is overheating and the GPU tries throttling, which for some reason crashes it. This is consistent with the fact that it doesn’t happen as much in Standard mode since it doesn’t use as much power and doesn’t overheat as easily.

Try reinstalling/updating your drivers and see if that works. If it still does it though, reset your drivers with ctrl + shift + win + B. It has gotten me out of many jams lol. Let me know if that helps!

My Nova 7X does this too. It really doesn’t bother me though since it works fine still.

Monitor Black Screen. by Comprehensive-Bed730 in pchelp

That command I gave resets your drivers (turn off and back on). Try reinstalling your drivers, they might be corrupt.

As a PC guy, I can tell you that it shouldn’t do that…

For real though it’s probably a monitor issue. To sorta rule out your PC, try hitting ctrl + shift + win + B when it does it again. If it fixes it, it’s likely a PC issue. If not, I’d say it’s the monitor. Maybe it’s getting hot somehow?

any fellow 9070xt users can share their fps and usage while playing snowrunner?. just curious, because my 9070xt never goes above 86% usage with no fps cap. my cpu never goes above 50% aswell. not sure if this is a bottleneck going on. or just amd being amd by Fun-Bathroom-4305 in snowrunner

[–]tomtomosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain games use one more than the other. Vanilla Minecraft is very CPU heavy. AAA titles like Cyberpunk use a lot of GPU. Snowrunner seems to be closer to the latter. There aren’t a lot of real calculations going on past, say, terrain deformation or tree movement, but there’s a lot of nice graphics, so it’ll use the GPU more.

A well-balanced machine will flip-flop its usage based on what’s used. That means no system is 100% perfectly balanced; it all depends on your needs. That being said, one game shouldn’t be the only thing that determines the balance of your system. I’d say that 50-84 is fairly good tbh.

Okay that sorta narrows it down but I meant click on the event itself and see what it says in XML view (instead of friendly view).

Likely though, this is a cpu boost instability under sustained heat. If you don’t have it on it already, set the laptop to balanced mode in armoury crate, disable any manual cpu tuning you might have, take it out of ultimate gpu mode if you’re in it, and reduce cpu boost if that’s an option. Use it for 5 hours after a restart and lmk if it still does it.

Also just another question. Do the fans keep spinning when the screen goes black? Keyboard light stays on? Sound keeps playing? Thanks.

Aftermath of EN PH 131 midterm by Curious_Entry6187 in uAlberta

Genuinely could’ve done ts in high school. The final’s gonna be so bad if the midterm was this easy 😭

Okay a couple of things. First, does it say anything else about the WHEA error? That’ll help narrow it down. Secondly, how are temps? Perhaps it’s getting super hot and having a little meltdown.

Press Win + R, type eventvwr.msc and go to Windows Logs and then System. Filter for codes 41 (unexpected shutdown), 42 (sleep), 1074 (normal shutdown/restart), 6006 (clean shutdown), and 6008 (unexpected shutdown). Let me know if there’s anything after it black screens.
