    Question How to boost my 4790Ks performance without reducing lifespan (noticeably)

    Hey everyone, so recently I undervolted my laptop to fix it being slower than it could be, and while I will do that to my Desktop CPU as well, I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to get at least somewhat significant improvement since this one doesnt have laptop limits, without...

    Question My laptop's CPU is missing 200MHz at full power

    Alright, I have tried it and set the limit to 60 and while it does get there, I think thats just the short term limit which I didnt touch. Eventually once under load for around 5 seconds power is indeed abruptly clamped to 45, regardless of PL1 which is set to 60. I also undervolted to -120/-170...

    Question My laptop's CPU is missing 200MHz at full power

    Hey everyone, I recently did a a few tests with my gaming laptop (MSI GL63 8SE) as it had cooling issues. Those are fixed but as I tested I noticed that even with P95 pushing the CPU to max load it never ever went past 1995Mhz, which is a good 205Mhz short of the 2.2GHz its supposed to pull. Of...

    I can hear my mic suddenly

    Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting it? I always hear myself, so if I don't, I know the mic isn't working. And in my case the solution is as simple as that. If that doesn't work, check that any sound related programs you might have (like Realtek Audio Manager) haven't changed anything...

    VGA LED turning on solid, no video...sometimes

    I've already had this problem before, and had to fight with Gigabyte in order to get my card repaired, and it did get repaired. Later I got a second one, in SLI, and apart from having some issues in a few games like: War Thunder, overlapping textures; Star Citizen, well... lighting that could...
