The fans do indeed slow down after high speed during post and sound louder on the turbo setting. Software fan control would've been nice but bios control is probably fine.

PC Games I’ve found network drives to be a free way expanding my desktop storage by connecting all of the half filled storage on laptops via network drives. With my Windows 11 laptop, I was able to store CS GO on it and play it from my desktop PC via network drive. (Technically, I was able to...

I successfully created a shared folder from the MAC which I could connect to on the Windows PC, however it was useless because I couldn't read or write to any of the folders in the shared drive. This is because the folders were in the APFS file format but Windows is in NFTS file format. To...

How do I "move" the thread? I don't see any options under "edit thread" Thanks

If that refers to OneDrive, from what I can read, the service only offers you their cloud storage and won't let you provide your own. In addition, I need the drive to be accessible from windows file explorer and not just from a browser. I know that there is a OneDrive integration in File...

Hi All, I have a MacBook with 250GB space. I only use 40GB locally and I want to make the other 210GB usable by my main PC via internet LAN share. They're both connected to the same local network. I have created a "Windows NFTS" Partition on the Mac using Disk Utility app. However, I am having...

I managed to connect the two fans to the one header and am able to control it through the software. Have also set the other fans to the neccesary presets. However, because the two fans are different brands and probably spin at different rpm, i don't think the software control works. They sound...

Thanks for clarifying. To be clear, I have no software fan control beyond basic "turbo" fan pre-sets in the bios for any of the fans, including cpu fan. Suppose I were to simply remove the 4pin plastic plug and just jam the wire heads in with the three pin header, would that work? (from a...

ok, thanks for clarifying

And do both of the threads assigned to 1 core have to run at the same frequency?

Thanks for the insight. When the 4 core limit is 3.6, does that mean that all cores except 1 are above 3.6 and just one is at 3.6?

Do I need to? I only have 4 cores?

I’m using an asus b85m-e board with a cooler master hyper 412s cooler. It comes with 1 fan and because push pull config helps a bit, and I had a spare 140mm fan lying around I thought why not mount it. I’ve now found the fan preset settings in the bios and that got the 2nd fan spinning. For...

If intel has locked the four core limit to 3.8 as I think you said, why is my cpu at 3.6 and not 3.8 when under synthetic loads at 55-65 degrees Celsius ? Is that because it is an s sku? I thought that the only difference on the s sku is that it can clock down to 3.2? Also, I do get 4ghz on...

Hi, I have an i7 4790S on a B85M-E motherboard and I'm trying to get all 8 threads (4 cores) to turbo to the max 4Ghz possible for this non-k cpu. In the bios I've tried: Synchronising all core speeds with 4Ghz max turbo Disabling intel speedstep Setting long duration power to 84W (the tdp of...
