    Can I Interest You in Single Player Experiences? Respawn's Jedi: Fallen Order is EA's Fastest-Selling Star Wars Game Ever

    I'm playing with Mouse and KB and it's very enjoyable. They are recommending controller because it's better suited for these types of games, but the PC controls are still good.

    Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax Fan

    Tried the brown version a few a years ago with the U12S (it's the default fan included with that cooler). Was Silent at low RPMs, but the the cooling performance was below average. Which become better after 60% (1000 RPM), but then it also had annoying motor noise, sounded like a mini jet...

    Bricked vega 56 performance bios switch.

    Could you please upload these files ? I'm curious if they're newer than the current BIOS on the cards. Btw. your issue is the V64 BIOS. For some reason atiflash won't allow flashback vega 56 sapphire pulse bios 1 write fail Your only option is RMA or SPI flash.

    Completely Unable to Flash my Vega 56 w/ Samsung HBM2 to a Vega 64 BIOS

    Use the command line version: atiflash -f -p 0 rom.rom if you still want to do it.

    vega 56 sapphire pulse bios 1 write fail

    As I said it won't work if someone already used another V64 bios that prevents flashing back. But it could be used to turn V56 Pulse to V64 (with higher HBM voltage) AND keep the ability to flash back - other bioses clearly won't allow it.

    vega 56 sapphire pulse bios 1 write fail

    I know you can change the data, but it can also mean that BIOS-es like that one will be causing the problem (not specifically because of that data). Because the XFX Bios seems to allow flashing back. I also had backups from two sources: GPU-Z: 256 KB files and atiflash: 512 KB files. And even...

    vega 56 sapphire pulse bios 1 write fail

    Not sure it will help if the damage is already done. I for one can't flash anything on that chip after the Nitro64 rom. So either the "wrong" biosfile is causing it or there is a limit how many times you can flash it/another safety mechanism.

    vega 56 sapphire pulse bios 1 write fail

    I have the same issue. It likely happens if you flash a V64 bios with different product/board name. This is the default Vega56 Pulse product name: Vega10 A1 XL D06501 8GB 852e/800m 0.9V This is how the Nitro64 and (almost) every other 56/64 bios looks: Vega10 A1 XT D05001 32Mx128 852e/945m...

    8th Gen Core i3 Part of Intel's First "Coffee Lake" Wave

    As a 4790k owner, I'd say the 8700k would be a really good upgrade option IF they'd stop using "glue" as thermal compound - unlikely considering even the HEDT CPU's are now "glued together"... It's a shame, though they still ask premium for unlocked CPU's, at least the i5+ parts should not have...

    AMD's Ryzen Chips 10% Smaller Than Comparable Intel Skylake Dies

    This either compares only the x86 CPU cores (not the whole die) or misleading. Because the "comparable" 4/8 CPU die also includes an IGP...

    Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8 GB

    The only (reasonable) way of Battlefront benchmarks would be to do it in MP matches (or in a similar demanding scenario) - but this is not something that can be (consistently) reproduced... There is no point to benchmark the game in Missions mode it's not a "realworld scenario", it would only...

    Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8 GB

    I think the power consumption - especially during video playback - has been improved with Crimson. 15.9.1 is a pretty old driver they've had 2 WHQL's since then.
