    Can we get a Crypto forum please?

    Chrome keeps crashing my PC

    So no idea why this is happening all of a sudden. I've used Chrome for years, and I've had this pc for the past 12+ months. Chrome is crashing my pc. It's random, and seems to happen when I click on a link or open a tab. I know its Chrome because I'll do a chrome action, then shit starts to get...

    Do you set your fan curves to core temp or hotspot temp?

    In my previous 6700XT, i set to hotspot temp and noise levels werent terrible. With the 7900xtx, when the hotspots are around 90C, it turns into a lawnmower. It's not defective, its just super loud. I am trying the undervolt game so TBD on that. What do you guys do? Set the fan curve to core...

    RZ608 Wi-Fi module keeps crashing

    I have an Asus TUF X670E and the wifi module sucks. It crashes all the time, forcing me to keep Device Manager perpetually open so I can disable it and enable it. Maybe its hardware, but to me seems like software since the fix is a software one. The wifi module is RZ608 Wi-Fi 6E 80mhz. The...

    FT: Reference AMD 7900XTX for ASRok Taichi or Sapphire Nitro 7900XTX

    I have a reference AMD 7900XTX that works perfectly well, just a bit on the loud side. I am willing to trade it for an ASRok Taichi or Sapphire Nitro 7900XTX because those triple and quad cards have much better thermals/cooling. Let me know if you want to offer something!

    Bad GPU fans?

    I recently bought a used EVGA 3080 FTW Ultra and at around 40-50% pwm, I often hear this grinding noise. I know its coming from the gpu because when I manually turn the fans down to 0, the fans stop, and the noise goes away. I put the fans at 20% or 70% and the noise also goes away. Only around...

    My EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA is vastly underperforming

    So I just bought this EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA from a fellow [H] and I have no reason to believe he did me a dirty. The problem is that it is getting terrible FPS. In Horizon Zero Dawn, TechPowerUp has the 2080ti getting 75 FPS at ultra settings at 1440. So my 3080 should get at least that, and...

    FS: MSI Geforce 1080ti GamingX

    I have for sale my MSI Geforce 1080ti GamingX that I bought from fellow [H] terpsy in late 2022. He said he was the 2nd owner, so I am the 3rd owner. It has never been abused, mined, etc.. It sat in my HTPC and got light usage, truly a pampered life. Comes with all the original red plugs too...

    Was I supposed to be using one PCIe cable per GPU connector this entire time?

    I have a Corsair RMx 750x and I recently bought a 3080 that comes with a triple power connector (3 connectors of 2x8 pin). For all previous cards (including my 7900xtx), they have used a double connector of 2x8pin. I always thought that since the PCIe cable comes with that double head at the...

    Are there any good angled HDMI cables out there?

    So for my hanging case build, I need right angle HDMI dongle extension because its a much cleaner look. I have tried a few on Amazon (Poyiccot) but I keep getting flickering. The cables clearly suck. The issue is that there doesn't seem to be any reliable brands. What does [H] use? EDIT: Ok I...

    Noctua NH-L9x65 vs NH-L9A for my open case build

    I am building an open air case for downstairs and it has to hang on the wall. The reason is that the wires go straight to my tv, and everything is behind the wall and off the floor. I originally got what I thought was a low profile be quiet! BK031 Dark Rock TF 2, and it is somewhat low profile...

    How to enable the same sound from 5 speakers?

    A lot of people are obsessed with 5.1, 7.1, directional audio every which way, and I get that, that's what I use my headphones for. But my Logitech Z5500s are for music only. Here, I want the same sound coming out of all 5 speakers. Nothing positional, just a 'dumb' feed, that I am surrounded...

    How to hide PSU cables on my Thermaltake Core P3?

    So my Thermaltake Core P3 build is going well, I am almost done. The last thing I want is to really hide the power cables coming from the bottom of my psu. Is there like a funnel shroud or something I can install over it? I googled it, but they were all for internal cases. I'll be installing the...

    I need shorter window cylinder stands for my Thermaltake Core P3

    So I am building a Thermaltake Core P3 and I like the placement of the cpu/gpu/psu. Its significantly slimmer of a full fat gpu riser, and since it's wall mounted and an outside case, I don't need that extra cpu fan to cool the 65W Ryzen 5600x. The issue is that the cylinder stands that the...

    Do they make PCI risers that go a full 90 degrees?

    So I have a Thermaltake Core P3 that I am wall mounting. I want to make it as slim as possible, so I want to mount the GPU where the non-existing AIO would go. The mounting hardware I can solution through easily enough, but the PCI riser cable is vexing me. I know they make cables that are for...

    AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D to be Exclusive Micro Center Product in the US

    Strange move. Why limit to MC? Seems like on Amazon/Neweggs these would sell like hotcakes. Still, kinda dumb to release a processor like a year+ after the previous one. And only $50 less? I would gladly pay $50 more for 2 cores and 4 threads...

    Noctua Introduces NM-DD1 Direct Die Kit for Delidded AMD AM5 Processors

    Hmmm this interests me greatly. I had a 6700K that I delidded and was able to do a massive OC of 700mhz. Now obviously, the Ryzens wont be able to do that, but the temp drop does make me really excited. My question is: how to delid? With my 6700K, I got a rockitcool guide that made it super...

    New Noctua cooling brackets can improve AM5 temps by 1-3 C

    Absolutely nothing to upgrade over, but cool that Noctua are including them for free in all future purchases. And I do question the part below where this will lead to higher boost clocks or reduced fan/noise levels. 3C is not anything anyone will notice Cost is 'symbolic price'...

    FPS Improvements going from a reference 6700xt to a reference 7900xtx

    So I normally don't upgrade after only one generation, but an absolute sir here on [H] (sketch) was willing to sell me his ref 7900xtx for $825 shipped. I found this price to be fair, being that the venerable 1080ti was in the $700-$800 range and this was several years ago. Test Setup: Ryzen 7...

    AMD to Skip a Radeon RX 7700 Series Launch For Now, Prioritize RX 7600 Series

    Looks like no 7700s for now. No matter how much AMD spins it, this is not good news. They don't know how to position their product against an entire Tier of performance, so they decided to just abandon or postpone it all together. What a disaster. Not to mention that there is no 7800 series...

    Do mobo antennas ever need to be upgraded?
