The Linux version of a bat file is a shell script. Create a file named startFEH.sh touch startFEH.sh Use an editor to add the following inside it. #! /bin/bash /path/to/FEH Make it executable chmod +x startFEH.sh Depending on the DE you may have to tell it to "always run" this file (or...

I think AMD is trying to challenge NV, but just can't. Nvidia is a bit like Apple, where everything they do is designed around selling their 1 or 2 core products. For Apple, that's iPhones and Macbooks. The Apple store is obviosuly big revenue too, but that revenue is predicated on someone...

It depends? The 9900K will choke the 4070TI - somewhat at 1440p, a bit more at 1080, much less at 4k, and in general the memory and CPU won't give you the best 1% lows. However, you will still see much improved FPS over the 2070. If you are okay building your own, no reason to not get the...

Agree. Texture quality is almost entirely dependent on VRAM and high quality textures will have virtually no impact on FPS, even on a budget card (assuming enough VRAM). The impact of too little VRAM is bigger on budget cards too, since they tend to have reduced PCIe lanes and memory...

Can't vouch for it... Xencelabs Quick Keys

My first 1GHz computer was dual 500MHz 1-core Celeron CPUs on a Abit BP6 dual socket board that skirted around Intel's restrictions.

Blood sacrifice was the final piece in the assembly/troubleshooting process, I thought everyone knew...

Computers today are easier to build, although they do have more parts to deal with (GPU power, multiple fans, RGB, etc). But it terms of technical knowledge, I think you needed a bit more in the past. Setting jumpers was a thing. 5 1/4 external bays were a thing (CD/DVD, ZIP/tape drives). IRQ...

I got a TI 99 4/A when I was young. Not sure if I asked for it or if my parents wanted me to have it. I played the hell out those math game cartridges - the gun was in the center and asteroids moved towards you from all directions. Each asteroid had a math equation on it and you had to enter to...

Probably a mix of "forest" (actually looking at the player) vs "trees" (fotm analytics/measurables) and dumb luck. Whoever pushed for drafting Puka will probably get his next 10 choices unquestioned and they will all be busts.

I have enough family I support with hand-me-down computers/parts that I don't really resell, but two examples... 1) I bought a pair of $400+ Lian Li Tyr pc-x500 cases in...2010 when LL still did full aluminum. Upgraded the front IO to USB 3, but no Type C, no AIO support, older design, etc but...

Usually you can control the ramp-up speed either in BIOS or through whatever fan control software you are using. By slowing down how fast the fan(s) both react to temp changes and speed up, you can lessen the noise. Different fan brands/models also have different noise profiles. I echo Xexx...

Likely hitting the hard-coded frequency/multiplier max. X3Ds have a lot of hard-coded limits on various frequencies, multipliers, and voltages.

It is always better to get lower CAS/CL timings for a given speed. However, the 5800X3D and 7800X3D are less memory sensitive due to the large L3 cache. You likely won't notice a difference between 6000 CL36 and 6000 CL30 on an X3D processor unless you are memory benchmarking.

I went AMD these last two generations with a 6950XT and 7900XTX. No issues with the cards or the drivers, and the software suite is much better than Nvidia's. Obviously the RT performance is not on par with NV, but on the 7900XTX it's good enough for games that have some RT effects, but falls...

They are already overpaying for Russell Wilson, so what would change?

Indeed.

Apparently none of you ever had an official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 shot range model air rifle...

While not GN-level methodology, Der Bauer did a video on SSD heatsinks. Besides some of the jankiness of the various models, the highlights would be no heatsink vs the mobo heatsink, which provides enough mass to soak up the heat generated and then dissipate it quickly afterwords. Burst loads...

Gen 4 drives can throttle without one but the built-in heat sink most decent motherboards use for NVMe drives is more than enough (and better than gimmicky aftermarket ones). Current Gen 5 drives would need a good mobo heatsink or good aftermarket one. Throttling mainly occurs during long...

Some of the above is mostly resolved. The thing is that the books are intentionally some combination of vague, misleading, unknown, and contradictory. With the idea is that it is a lot like history, which is those same things.

Skirts Asustek's AIO patents...

Extremely unlikely. Modern desktops are actually very power efficient. The issue is that Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are running everything at max power trying for that extra +100 MHz, and that is inefficient. And even that only comes up in benchmarks and full CPU/GPU situations. Gaming on a...

Solidigm is my new NVMe drive company. I've soured on Samsung, though I am still running a bunch of 970/980/990 drives. I've been moving to Solidgm P44 Pros as I make changes/upgrades.

It's a low TDP (65w) CPU. Single core will be on par with the 5600x/5800x but the 65W limit will mean lower all core clocks under full load. It will still beat the 5600x at multi-core though just because of the two extra cores. The 65w limit is a hard CPU limit and cannot (AFAIK) be overridden.

Better to just use the 2nd drive as a backup drive - that way there will be some version history and protection against user error. One could have a 10 drive mirror and deleting a file accidentally still means the file is gone on all 10 drives. Wife's build is in a Tower 100 and the GPU is...

Kershaw gonna Kershaw.... He had one decent postseason his entire career.

I think you will have to be patient. 5800X3D was a massive gaming upgrade and is still currently a top 3 gaming CPU (behind 7800X3d and 13900k). Next gen AMD AM5 and/or Intel 14th/15th gen will probably see the 5800X3D fall off in relative performance, and you might see more people upgrade...

So you are going the 5600X route. Keep your eye out for a cheap/used 5800X3D - it will be the biggest CPU gaming upgrade you can get on that platform. The 5600X should be fine even just using a 4-pin EPS/CPU power connector - it doesn't need the 8-pin. But it seems like you do have an 8-pin...

i3 13100F with a DDR5 mobo has decent upgrade paths - currently can go up to a 13900k and next year the 14900k equivalent. 5600X can upgrade to a 5800X3D, but you will otherwise be on a dead platform and DDR4 memory. If you want AMD upgrade paths look at the 7600/7600X and a B650 mobo and (by...

Yes, Maiden handtalk.

He cites memory training issues. Intel has always had the better IMC. I don't have memory issues on my 7800X3D (2x16) or 7950X (2x32), but I run EXPO 6000 C30 sticks with no hand tuning/manual settings. Memory training can be a bit long but there is a BIOS setting to speed that up if you are not...

Which lost to a Celeron 300A running at 450 (full speed L2!) and cost less than $200. I also had a PII 400 or 450MHz and I don't recall paying anywhere near $600, but I can't find my buy price. Maybe AMD competion brought the prices down before I bought it. I think I also had a Cyrix CPU...

There is an increased cost to newer motherboards (more power delivery, more complex sockets, more ports, more layers, traces and QC for higher PCIe and RAM speeds, etc), but I think manufacturers use mobos to subsidize their GPU business given how much Nvidia is known to charge. Make $50 profit...

Subbed for the Grand Tour, kept for the free shipping.

Good for the players and Deion for their start, but 49 transfers on the current roster.

Eh, I ended up rambling so I will spoiler the wall of text. My new game machine, another generic OD11 XL w/Lian Li V2 Unis. 7800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB DDR5 6000 C30, and 990 Pro. I think I am done with RGB and AIOs after this and will go back to air cooling when the next-gen NH-D15 finally...

^^ I can sort of understand 2 and 3 not really knowing what they wanted to do, but by the time 4/Endgame released the TV show had established the Highlander rules/universe fairly well and there was no reason for Endgame to deviate from them.

They have been included in all the chromax fans I have bought. I suppose the join point might be visible depending on fan location and cable routing...

These are some good GPU reviews to check out - 7600 vs 4060 and 6800XT vs 4060ti (this one could be a proxy for the 6800 suggested above vs 4060). There is a strong arguement to be made for going last gen AMD for the Vram increase since the 4060 doesn't have the Vram nor enough RT cores to make...
