    Question One M.2 NVMe disappearing after PC goes to sleep, and the other not working at all in the same slot

    Hey thanks for replying, so the mobo is updated to the latest 2.02 BIOS, the latest AMD chipset drivers, WD Dashboard claims there are no new firmware updates and the current one is 211210WD. The SSDs should have sufficient airflow since it's generally pretty good in this case and the fan...

    Question One M.2 NVMe disappearing after PC goes to sleep, and the other not working at all in the same slot

    I have an Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 and I've just gotten another NVMe since the mobo has 2 M.2 slots, so I wanted to expand the storage a bit. The board has a topmost M.2_1 Gen5 slot with a heatsink, and an M.2_2 Gen4 slot under the GPU that's just using one screw to hold the drive. The issue is...

    Question Fresh Win 10 installation on a separate drive, PC reboots constantly in multiple specific games

    I set RAM to 2T and I'll report back if I get any reboots, but I don't think this is a hardware issue or BIOS related since I don't get any such reboots on Win11 both before installing Win10 on this other SSD, and now when I boot to W11. I think it's something Window's related but no idea what...

    Question Fresh Win 10 installation on a separate drive, PC reboots constantly in multiple specific games

    I'm using 4x8GB config and not sure about the modules, how can I check and report back? I'm using XMP profile 1 in BIOS and the memory is running at its 3600mhz. Here are the CPU-Z screens too: View: https://imgur.com/a/BbAfDr7 I did reinstall both of these games on the new OS installation and...

    Question Fresh Win 10 installation on a separate drive, PC reboots constantly in multiple specific games

    I recently installed Windows 10 on one of my SSDs while I've been running Win11 for over 6 months now, because I had some major performance issues on the CPU side in some titles so I wanted to check if a different, fresh OS installation would help. Surprisingly enough it did, and the same...

    Question 5600x with a broken pin, how to make sure whether it's working/can be fixed?

    Hey thanks for the answer and happy New Year! I forgot to mention that I do have a GPU and that the PC is working with the new CPU I got as a replacement, this 5600x had some of its pins bent when I was about to sell it and that's when I broke the one at the edge while straightening the others...

    Question 5600x with a broken pin, how to make sure whether it's working/can be fixed?

    I accidentally broke one pin along the edge of the 5600x while trying to straighten a few others that were bent. The pin is at one of the corners of the CPU, and when I managed to correct the others and slot the CPU into the mobo socket for testing, the PC turns on but there is no signal on the...

    [SOLVED] PC with a TV over HDMI, suddenly no audio for a few seconds after playing anything with sound

    Not sure where to post this but it's getting very annoying at this point. I'm using the Sony x900f TV as a monitor on a Win 10 PC, and since the month or so, whenever I play anything with audio be it an online video, a file, a game, or anything that has audio, there will be no audio for like 2-3...

    Question Windows 10 keeps forcing my HDMI TV speakers to 5.1 causing low audio and extremely quiet voices behind me in games

    I have all the other speakers in the playback tab disabled if that's what you're referring to, only the TV is enabled and the default.

    Question Windows 10 keeps forcing my HDMI TV speakers to 5.1 causing low audio and extremely quiet voices behind me in games

    I'm referring to the taskbar right-click on the sound menu and the playback tab, "speaker setup". It always defaults back to 5.1 instead of the stereo setting, and it does it whenever I launch a game or change the refresh rate, or anything that forces the HDMI signal to "reset' for a second...

    Question Stutter and constant dips in games on a 3080 unless I force maximum performance through the Nvidia control panel

    Not about the model then, it's probably driver related to the RTX lineup somehow

    Question Stutter and constant dips in games on a 3080 unless I force maximum performance through the Nvidia control panel

    Damn, which model is it? Mine is MSI Gaming Z Trio, could be the BIOS if it's the same card.

    Question Stutter and constant dips in games on a 3080 unless I force maximum performance through the Nvidia control panel

    This has been happening since I got the 3080 some 2 months ago. In the default state where it's trying to downclock whenever a game isn't demanding, there are constant fps dips, I'm guessing all the time when the card is modifying the clock frequency. If I force maximum performance for a game...

    [SOLVED] Will a Dark Rock 4 (Pro) be a noticeable improvement over hyper 212 RGB Black Edition?

    Also, Noctua's 6 year warranty, free socket mount upgrades, tube of NT-H1 (top paste) included with the cooler and top notch customer support is worth the extra premium IMHO. None of their support and warranty commodities apply sadly, since I'll have to be buying from resellers as legitimate...
