Can you guys please make a point of including the previous revisions of a company's cooler in your benchmarks. You have the royal knight and royal pretor which are both 2025 revisions, but the people considering buying these will often be wanting to compare them to prev. revisions. For example...

For anyone else having issue with disabling read only and write protection for a drive. Particularly when changing permissions isn't working. SOLVED: Disabling Read-Only With Diskpart Diskpart is another Windows utility that is used to format and create partitions on drives, essentially...

You'd asked if I had any options when right clicking on drive in disk partition program. "No options unfortunately, can access properties or turn drive offline again. Braindead indeed. Paragon seems to have done the trick without a hitch. " Paragon is the software I'd mentioned I was using...

Backup isn't the issue here. It's getting the drive off read only. Take it you don't know how to fix that?

No options unfortunately, can access properties or turn drive offline again. Braindead indeed. Paragon seems to have done the trick without a hitch.

I'm aware how GPU boost works. Temps have nothing to do with what was happening to my GPU. Not really sure what any of that has to do with what I was saying tbh. 12 hours doing the same things that made it shut down in a couple hours is strong evidence that something's improved/fixed. I get...

Currently trying paragon to backup, and it seems to be working. Offline allowed someone else to fix windows backup problem. There's nothing abnormal in disk management, except that drive has read-only assigned to it and this is visible under its name in disk management. Otherwise, it is...

Struggling to get something that should be as simple as windows backup to work. Saw someone suggest turning drive offline. Terrible advice. But, I tried it and drive showed as offline and unallocated. Restarted PC and drive appears to be back to normal except it is read only and I cant change...

Damn, that is overkill haha. Turning off my core voltage and power limit seems to have solved the issue. I've actually had the power limit back at max and still had no shut downs. So fingers crossed it was just the combo of power limit and voltage. However, my next PSU will likely be made...

JayzTwoCents did a video where he mentioned it apparently does something...sometimes. lol. I think the idea is that it allows higher voltages sustained for longer, without actually increasing the voltage. (I've yet to test it myself). However, I decided to try upping my power limit again, but...

Make sure you are not using splitters/daisy chains. Separate cables for each power input with newer cards. AMD cards aren't as bad for transient power spikes as Nvidia, so I'm confident that if you use 2 different cables to power your GPU, you won't get the shutdowns anymore. If your PSU is...

I'd totally forgotten about transient spikes because, it wasn't relevant to me at the time I heard about it. Came across gamersnexus video again and, yeah, I'm pretty much certain that is the cause at this point. Do you happen to have a good source that discusses the voltage slider not doing...

Many thanks for the recommendation. If I'm lucky, might be able to find it a bit cheaper. If an extra £20 is what it takes to get something that's a major step up in quality then it's worth it IMO. What specifications does this card have that makes it so good? I'd noticed you'd said it was...

This is fascinating about dual 8 pin only allowing 375w - is this for every PSU? I had my 3070 overvolted and at 113% power. Since removing these, I've not had any random shut downs. But, still think a new PSU would be a good idea for future proofing. Definitely thinking it was transient...

Hi there, thanks for letting me know these aren't the best. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking at in the links you've posted. It just lists a bunch of power supplies. Are there specific EVGA or be quiet PSU's you're advising me to look at?
