    Weird RGB problem

    A motherboard BIOS update doesn't "mess with the GPU firmware". I see no justification to attempt to flash your GPU, and I don't recommend it at this point. RGB settings in the motherboard BIOS wont control the RGB on the card AFAIK. Gigabyte Control Center should be able to control the RGB on...

    Is this temp normal for CPU?

    Yes, 80 is in the "normal" operating range.

    AC adapter for Acer LCD

    Buying an adapter with the same specs as the one you are using is one option, or you could contact Acer/Support/Repair My Acer and see if you can acquire the part from them. Good Luck

    SAM problem

    How is the Verbatim Vi 550 attached? Seriously, I don't see an obvious issue. There was a BIOS update 3405 that listed "Support graphics card with M.2 storage". It's not very specific, but may be worth a try if you can't find anything else.

    Is there a way to improve graphics in an old DX9.0c game?

    You didn't mention your target resolution, so I must assume you're down to the MSi G2712 and your game runs fine at 1080, but you just want it to look "better"? Normally you would use VSR, to trick the game into thinking you have a 2k or 4k monitor and render at higher resolution. If the UI is...

    bust interface issue can't enable PCIe 3.0 x16

    The 4090 shows from 3% to 6% loss going from 3.0x16 to 3.0x8, depending on resolution. The 6600XT shows 1.2% to 2.2% loss, and the 6700 is probably closer to this than the 4090.

    Slot for a TPM module

    Some organizations require physical TPMs, since firmware TPMs lack certifications.

    XFX RX 580 fails when trying to update the bios

    You could make a boot disk and .bat file and do it headless or something. If you have access to another GPU, and can use both at the same time that's an option. Use another PC. I asked about the switch because many cards that look like this one have dual BIOS, and a tiny switch to go between...

    XFX RX 580 fails when trying to update the bios

    Did you test the card at all when it was working? When you flashed it, did it actually complete the process successfully? Isn't that a dual BIOS card with a physical switch? If so, are you saying you flashed both BIOS?

    Will an RTX 3080 Run on a 600W PSU with Only 2 PCIe 8-Pin Connectors?

    Nvidia listed a 750 watt PSU for a 10900K system, but noted "A lower power rating may work depending on system configuration" I would guess that it might "boot and run", and if it's an issue it will show itself under a load. PSUs may lose some capacity over time, so YMMV. If you're lucky your...

    AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE China-Edition GPU Reaches End-of-Life

    No doubt, it's an interesting configuration. As odd as it may have been, it was perfectly positioned to fill the gap between 7800XT and 7900XT in terms of both price and performance. As for having less memory bandwidth than the 7800XT, it didn't matter. IMO it's more accurate to say the...

    Can anyone confirm resizable BAR support for AMD CPUs?

    Originally AMD said "Smart Access Memory technology enablement requires...Ryzen 5000 or 3000 series CPU (excluding the Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G)" I can't confirm support, but I can suggest you check your desired motherboard's BIOS manual for SAM support. Looking at this Gigabyte A520...

    Your favorite cpu

    Do you have any reference for that? I can't imagine any way eDRAM on the CPU package was used as some kind of cache by a discrete GPU. From what I can see, disabling the iGPU would allow all the eDRAM to be used by the CPU.

    Is there a way to adjust RGB values in this monitor ?

    I think you're just making incorrect assertions based on a limited understanding, but thanks for your opinion I guess. :)

    Is there a way to adjust RGB values in this monitor ?

    You can quickly toggle HDR in Windows with Win+Alt+B. Also you can try the Windows HDR Calibration app from Microsoft.
