The GPU is XFX Radeon RX 570 RS, and I have Mint 21 Cinnamon and Lutris and I'm already playing games on it just fine. There are some issues (Grim Dawn freezes and crashes after a while), and also I've lost all saves in all games at some point without doing absolutely anything, I still haven't...

um... good question... How do I check this?? Because I'd need to be playing and be inside of the BIOS at the same time to see this, no? But regardless, all I can say is that I've not customized a single fan anywhere yet, I'm just using my computer with the BIOS's defaults (for the fans I mean...

yeah, I am using the stock cooler, and I did think about replacing it because I've read that this cooler is not ideal for gaming. But I thought of giving it a try first, I'd like to see if I can make it work and if I can't, I will replace it... Regarding the temps, can you at least tell me...

Yes, I know where both Fan Tastic and Fan Tuning are (they're both under the same tab actually, I think it's called Advanced)

they're new, I just built my 1st computer ever a few days ago and today was the 1st day that I installed and tried playing games on it, so it is possible that I've not configured / I've misconfigured something... Oh, yeah I should have mentioned the components, my bad... CPU... Ryzen 5600...

Hi, First of all, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong sub-forum, but I am touching a few different topics in this thread so I'm not sure where to post this, but if you want me to delete it and post it in another sub-forum I'll be happy to comply, just let me know :) Now, here's the...

yeah, I will probably get dual boot at some point, I did think about it and it's a great solution indeed :) The problem is that I only have 1 SSD of 500 GB and it's already 2/3 full, and I won't be able to get any more storage until next year, so I'm rolling with this configuration for now...

Hi, Thanks for the tips and sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not getting notifications when I receive messages, but that's probably because of something on my end, I'm still learning how to use Linux... To your pointers: yeah, I just wasted 4 hours toying around with Lutris, and I...

Yeah, I knew about videos, but I didn't have time to go through the 1000s of folders to extract the videos... and it didn't make sense to extract them anyway since they're part of the various marketing and salesletter packages... I compressed them because I won't be needing them anymore (at...

Whew! Thanks for the calming :) It's 32 GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 And the files are mostly graphics and marketing materials, including many videos on various topics

Hi, I was transferring the contents of my old HDD to the new HDD because I've just built a new PC a week ago and I needed to transfer everything onto my new PC, and during this process I also archived (compressed) 600 GB worth of files (about 550k of them) and halfway through the archiving (in...

Just a quick update that the issue has been resolved. As soon as I connected the HDD via this cable both the BIOS and the OS saw the HDD and it works perfectly. Thanks for the tip, I would have never guessed it that a cable is the issue, but then again I'm not tech-savvy, which is why I ask for...

Hi again, I just came home (with the cable you recommended), but unfortunately the shop where I got this cable from didn't have a 4-wire cable, so I had to buy one with 5 wires: As you can see from the images, there is no orange wire, but there is a brown one (the leftmost wire). Should I...

I've done some more research and there's something called "compositor" that can impact the performance of games on certain DEs. What are your thoughts on this? And which DEs are the most stable in general?

Got it! Thanks again for the tips! I'll do this tomorrow and update this thread with whatever the result will be :)
