I know I'm late for this party. But there's a take: The power limit can definitely be a thing in laptops. Nowadays you can see RTX laptops with the very same 3070s in a wide range of maximum power limits. It's all about the thermals, but the thing is, I don't know if the board itself will...

It's the card, I made the PC a downgrade (sold its 1070 expecting a price drop with Ampere's announcement) and plugged this old fighter. The PC hadn't any similar issues with the 1070 and neither with 6700k's IGPU. Turning it off and on again just solves it, and it's not about temperatures as...

When my R9 280 has to start delivering image, it doesn't matter if starting the PC or turning on the screen after it turned off because of inactivity, it very unusually turn on a black screen which will slowly show a bluish burn-in. You know when you have a dialog window or something with a...

Thanks a lot! I've also studied about making it undervolt but I think VoltageShift doesn't work in current OS versions and Volta isn't free :( if it was my own laptop I would definitely pay the license, in my desktop 6700K undervolting results in 10-15 degrees less!

I've read about resetting the SMC but I'm an absolute noob Mac-wise and I'm a little scared of doing it in my job's laptop LMAO I don't know how harmless it is. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/261954/macbook-pro-fan-is-not-running-on-default-settings-regardless-of-how-hot-it-gets

For some reasons I'm now working in a 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2015) with a pretty simple i5-5257U (just 14nm dual core...) and its behavior CPU wise is pretty bad in terms of usage and temperatures. I'm on Catalina 10.15.5. Using Skype with my webcam activated pushes the CPU temperatures from 60...

I mean, for example I want to model a PC. I don't need the graphics to be fancy or very detailed. I just want to easily put the walls of the box, some orthohedron as a placeholder for the PSU and the graphics card, some cylinder for the fan (although actual fans would be lovely). I'm not...

Ok, this was just a misconception by me. Full RGB and Limited were being correctly configured but I was just running into bad calibration among with higher brightness settings being imported in the games from the last Xbox One I had. "Pro" tip for the Benq EW3270U: If you pick any picture mode...

Good morning, I just got a Benq EW3270U for my Xbox One X and I'm having trouble trying to properly configurate it. I'm setting One X to PC RGB and the monitor lets me pick between 0-255 and 16-235. 0-255 is Full RGB, but... if I pick that, I'm getting a washed out image, blacks are grey...

Nevermind, RGB stripes are placed in the removable piece of the front and there I could follow the cable to a SATA which I couldn't explain for what it was LOL. Weird but I finally figured it out :p Edit: Sorry, I just noticed it was tripleposted, not my intention, looks like some buggy...

My box is an Aerocool Aero 500 RGB but I don't see any cables for freding the RGBs. I've plugged the power cables, power and HDD lights, there's a big molex (Fan Controller Power) and 4 fan connections of two pins (it's kinda strange as they are called Fan1, Fan2, Fan1, Fan2 but I guess this has...

I think I may have found the guilty. The clock speed was racing to 1949Mhz, when the official boost clock for the 1070 Armor OC is 1740Mhz. I've tuned it down with MSI Afterburner to maximum 1740Mhz with its default voltage at that speed. I think 1949, being a high clock, isn't still...

Sorry for the late response, I've been very busy. MSI MS-B1061 (NUVOTON NCT6685D), it's the motherboard of the MSI Nightblade X2B computer, slightly custom version of a standalone one I guess. According to msinfo the version is 1.0 (SMBIOS 3.0, controller 255.255). I tried to update it because...
