Well, I've a had a while to try it and it's certainly the right way to go. It's silent and I don't mean quiet I mean, I'm regularly checking the fan to see it it's working even when rendering with all cores at 100%, temps are solid too. This thing is quieter than the water cooler was when brand...
Yeah just found that same vid, seems like I got lucky with 6 years..... would you have any arctic model recommendation for a TR4 cooler? every time I search I keep getting AM4 results, nothing that mentions TR4 compatability. The Liquid Freezer models 2 and 3 both say they are universal but...
took the plate off and there's growth in the cooler, looks stuffed. Is 6 years decent for these things? I need a replacement fast and the easiest thing is to just re-order the same cooler ( I think there's a version 2 available) but don't want to waste money if this is an unusual failure for...
I took the cooler off and the copper face has a convex bulge in the centre of about 0.2-3 mm, is this safe to remove and flatten or is it a new cooler job?
Noticed the fans and radiator were gathering dust so I stripped the PC and cleaned all, I decided to take the cooler off and re-seat the CPU/replace thermal paste etc as it was built back in 2018. When I fired it up the cooler was making a noise like a cable touching a fan blade, I assumed it...
I'm having to catalogue my late fathers model car collection to get it priced for sale (many thousands of cars) and decided a database was the way to go. I've never used databases before and am not planning anything too complex so I just need something clear and usable but when I searched online...
Not sure if this is the right forum but I have NoScript running on Firefox and Wind 10 and as you can see it's showing 2 blocked scripts (Reddit, site isn't loading) but everything in the list is set to Trusted, I get this on other sites too occasionally. Site loads fine on Edge without...
Last laptop I bought was a Dell Inspiron 1525 back in 2008 which is now reaching the point of unusability (unsurprisingly...). I'm totally out of the loop on mobile CPU's, Apples mobile chip based stuff looks great but I don't really want to get into Apples ecosystem and Windows on ARM looks...
So I have it on my mobile (Android) and obviously can go to the site on my desktop but I get two different behaviours depending on how I use it.
I have a Maria Bamford playlist in my library, when I click on in on my desktop I see the image below.
As you can see, it lists all the playlist...
I got a Steelcase Leap Mk2 on e-bay a few years ago with 3D arms, it's pretty good and usefull for tailoring to your body shape, lumbar support is decent but not outstanding though.
Yeah the BIOS can only see the physical drive so I thought it might be a problem directing it to a specific partition, I thought I could clone both then in an emercency delete the partition I don't need and it would boot to the other but it's six of one I suppose. Cheers.
Thanks for all the input guys, just one final question, I tried to use an old disk image to load onto the new SSD but windows wouldn't even see the external drive so I had to just install everything manually. I had the idea of cloning the new drive onto the old SSD which after deleting...
I recently had a hard drive crash and am trying to rebuild my machine, I managed to get my data off my hard drive but have run into an issue. I need to replace my old emails which I have the .pst files for, I have a lot of stuff saved in various folders for my job so I need to keep that...
tried some of the above suggestions but none worked, I was able to recover some data I needed and tried to format and reinstall windows but the disk was now write protected. I managed to disable that and delete partitions and re-format but now windows won't install on it saying it couldn't...
The drive is from 2015, workload on that machine is light these days, e-mail/internet browsing etc but it used to be a 3d render machine util 2019. It wouldn't power down from the start button yesterday (just unresponsice after clicking 'switch off') and I ran a disk repair and sys file check...
I have a Samsung SSD 850 Evo which suddenly won't boot, it claims windows can't be found and loading it onto another computer keeps telling me the drive needs to be formatted. I'm not an expert but I'm thinking it may be an MFT failure, is there any way to recover the drive contents or repair...
I plugged my drive into the computer and it connected then disconected, when I pulled it out and re-inserted most of the files were missing and the remaining folder titles were all gibberish, I ran a repair scan and it repaired the drive but them it was appearing empty. Under 'This PC' it's...
I have a job folder with all my work stored under project names and obviously you bounce in and out of projects doing additional work over the years, problem is when I list the project folders by 'date last saved' or 'date modified' certain folders will not register changes made to their...
I'm not big on hardware, I know my way around a system but at a pretty basic level but I'd always assumed spreading the RAM over more sticks would offer better bandwidth for accessing memory? it's weird it can actually cause problems.
My system specs are as below, I thought going from 16GB on my last build to 32GB would future proof me for a while but almost straigth away my rendering is now still hitting memory limits so I need to double up again. I currently have 4 x 8GB sticks and was going to purchase another 4 but then...
I built a new system (below) for rendering on 3DS Max thinking that 32GB of RAM should cover me and if not, running an NVME HDD would let the page file run pretty well to handle any overspill. Problem is, I run out of RAM quite a bit on certain types of render and when I do I'm getting a total...
I tried blowing the dust out of the PSU but nothing really came out, didn't open it though, hopefully will get a chance to check all of this stuff this weekend.
Thanks.
Thanks again, I should have mentioned it has an SSD, I think a Samsung Evo 850 but it was only installed a couple of years ago so I would hope it wasn't failing, I did run a RAM test which came up OK (memtest I think).
I will add an SSD test to the list though.
Haven't had a chance to get over to my parents place to check the hardware but I found the specs on my old order history, all purchased in 2014.
CPU - Intel Core i3 4130 s1150
MB - MSI H81M-E33 V2 H81 MoBo s1150
PSU - XFX 450w P1-450S-X2B9 PSU
RAM - HyperX KHX1600C10D3B1/8G
My dad's computer has developed a habit of freezing completley over the last few months, mouse doesn't move, no response from any keys or key combinations (CTRL SHIFT ESC/ CTRL ALT DEL etc) sometimes it runs for half an hour sometimes it freezes in seconds from boot. It has frozen on boot at...
Thanks, I tried that but could only get one controller to take the driver, then I checked the samsung installation file and it had an uninstaller built in........doh
Removed it now and computer is waking nicely.
My computer is rebooting when it wakes from sleep and as I have a couple of Samsung NVME m2 drives as my main C: and storage drives I've read the samsung V3.0 driver can cause this, the cure is to uninstall the driver and revert to a standard Windows one. I assume this is just a case of going...
Yes I have but I've had the issue for a while now and it's spanned a few driver versions, doing more digging and it seems to be crashing when I have autopano giga open, so it might be an issue there, as I say just trying to rule out a hardware/power supply issue first before digging further.
I'm rendering on 3ds max with Vray but every time I do a large bucket render the monitor goes to sleep (well within the time set to sleep, usually a couple of minutes) and when I try to wake it the 3ds max display has disappeared and won't come back and autocad has crashed with a message "Re...
