Will having a pc repair professional install windows on my pc to diagnose the computer help find out what is causing my pc to crash a lot when I use linux if the problem is from hardware?

>>109550534
No.
They will do exactly what you ask them to do, with the least effort otherwise.
If they could diagnose issues like that, they wouldn't work as a PC repair guy.

Nvidia is the one with massive QC issues with hardware and software just like ASRock.

Owned one amd card in my life and it was a complete disaster because of catalyst drivers and then the subsequent crimson drivers which were even more broken, and then the opengl drivers at doom 2016 launch etc etc. Owned 4 nvidia cards since then and its been the best gaming experience of my life. Owning amd is like owning a console in a way. Nvidia just werks.

i've been through some shit with my pc in the last few weeks. got a new new cpu (i9 14900k) and new mobo (msi pro z790-p) a couple of weeks ago and new RAM (2x16gb 3600MHz DDR4) tuesday. on stock XMP settings the ram isn't stable at 3600 but it seems ok at 3200. how concerned should i be? is it worth messing with voltages and whatever to try getting it to run at 3600?

>>109551606
If you can do it on crack, it's a brain sore.

>>109552000
you can run retro software on modern hardware so whats the point

My 9950x3d idles around 48*C and sits at 83*C in cinebench, is something wrong or is this normal? I'm coming from a i7 12700k and it was around 30*C idle. It might be my fan curve because I don't rev them up until I go past 70*C to keep the PC as quiet as possible

>>109552087
some coolers have a offset mount for amd chips others dont. you are supposed to check before you install.

>>109552087
AMD CPUs have pretty shitty IHS. If you want low temps, you're gonna have to delid it.
But, 83C isn't overheating, so it's fine.

Nvidia drivers are still bad

>>109552087
Would help if you mentioned the cooler.

>>109552111

>>109552316
did you use the splitters? you can control the pump individually otherwise it runs at the fan speed which is slower.

>>109552332
I did, are my temps normal or a little high? Might just be the thermal paste since I used the one that came with the cooler.
The pump is set at a flat 80% btw

>>109552460
Anything under 95c is "normal" according to AMD. These are server reject chips and server chips have high heat tolerance.

>>109552482
well... I guess it is what it is then

IF this works once my cpu gets back, I'm going to both cry and laugh, I assumed I NEEDED both cables, until I saw a video just now and noticed just one cable... and my neurons finally worked

>>109553771
on most/all boards, both connectors literally lead into the same block of copper in the board meaning there's no difference to the cpu/mb's operation when either of or both of the sockets are plugged in

yeah, but apparently this is a issue on AM5 and specifically during the first boot memory training, would explain why i was getting instant debug leds which led me to believe the cpu was dead out of the box, sent i for revision and its fine, was going to check the mobo and both ram sticks next with a technician tomorrow, but now I see a light

Decided to buy a 7800X3D, got RAM, cooler, but what mobo? I had ASUS in my entire life, and honestly, I never had problems with any of them. I see it's pretty hated in here, why? What should I get? I don't need anything extra, just a basic one do it.

Asus is stingy with anything warranty related. It's usually an up and down with the support and at a lot of times they just tell you they can't do anyrhing. I never had issues with their mainboards either if anything the gimmicks on them can suck sometimes though the q connector for AIO is actually nice for once. However I only tried their premium stuff that tends to cost extra cause of the brand so not sure about their more budget friendly options

I am still not decided on if I want to spend extra money to go 1440p or just stick to 1080p

>>109555245
unless your card is total ass 1440p price is only a new screen

>>109555299

>>109555088
blessing in disguise these high prices because the current gpu gen is a stopgap in hindsight

>>109555370
If people got a 9070xt for like 650€, 5070 for 600€ They should be relatively happy. Those cards will smoothly go over the shit hardware price period.

1. the same shape
2. the same buttons on the side + the sniper/dpi button (don't care about the top 2 dpi buttons)
3. unlockable scroll wheel (but not a deal breaker if it's missing)

If lots of things are failing at the same time, it's probably the psu or ram that's problematic

>>109556317
12 gen intels shouldnt have degradation issues
Ram can have issues where youd troubleshoot with no xmp, only 1 stick in and so on. Usually they're very stable tho.
3080 is getting somewhat old and can have shit paste, you might want to change them to phase change pad + thermal putty for better thermals.

So apart from those you can reinstall windows. Do hardware tests to see if ssd has faults, does ram perform normally. DDU nvidia drivers.
If its psu or mobo hardware faults then you'd just replace them as they're not super expensive. you could upgrade to am5 mobo with 5800x3d and keep the old ram.

>>109556280
headphones are ass in general, except if you play fps game and need positional audio then you are forced to
apple earbuds is literally all the audio you need, does not slip out of ear canals like gay iems, cheap, works, does not get nasty and have nasty tips that raep your ear canal or get moist or clogged with shit

some cheap LCDs ship with dead pixel out of the box. There should be plenty 27" 1440p with 240. The pulsar monitors have DSC for up to 360. You may be able to get a pg27aqn for cheap that can do 240hz without DSC, 360 with but I cannot recommend it as the fan for the g-sync module is rather loud.

It's the second fastest gaming GPU atm. 5090 is considered AI gadget because 32GB of VRAM are pretty useless in gaming. 5080 is only little faster at same VRAM size.

>>109557019
no, it doesn't. No headset in your price range has the sound quality of mine. Do you even understand how speakers work? The size of the driver establishes a baseline of quality you cannot overcome with good design.

Also i've owned quite a few gamer headsets of all price ranges over the years. Including a steelseries one, i liked it too, but the bad circuitry was annoying, adjusting the volume knob became a big chore, as the sound would cut in and out.

The markdown link says the use case:
>Purpose: 24/7 storage server for market data tape (OPRA, SIP, etc.) archived in compressed binary format, serving a Mac Studio workstation over direct 10GbE. TrueNAS SCALE, 6-drive RAIDZ2.

And the budget is on the cheaper side. I don't have a hard number since I don't know how much this stuff cost. But I don't think I need performant hardware since it's just acting as a data warehouse, like a glorified external hard-drive.

The only PSUs I know of are from Zippy which can apparently deliver 60a from 5V. They are used in 45Drive enclosures.
However if you are having problems than it's unlikely it's the power supply as HDDs rarely consume more than 1 amp from 5V even at peak. The system shouldn't need that much 5v either.

I have 13 HDDs in a system and they are perfectly reliable. Even have 11 on a single cable.
I would check your cables if you are using any type of splitter/extensions. I had a bad Molex splitter feeding a hot swap cage that made the HDDs randomly shut off.

maybe not a single series but they produce tons of crappy animes. There are like 40 or 50 animes every season and they started to adapt even the biggest shit as they run out of material. You have at best a handful of shows that are watchable each season but even the better ones don't shine a lot of times in terms of animations. Instead of becoming better with the technology improving they became worse. They don't even care if you can see the 3d models sometimes but at least the animations itself are somewhat better then... sometimes at least

I want to like AMD but their GPUs make it hard. when the 290/9070xt work, they're amazing value. but it's frustrating not knowing if your computer is completely fucked, or AMD's drivers just suck and you gotta spend 30 minutes to get it working again
