    Possibly bricked RX 5700?

    Yeah typically these big stores won't lose the time to try to help a single customer who would buy a 1$ worth component, still I e-mailed 2 of them.. Let's see, meanwhile I suspect someone around TPU Forums knows exactly what specs we should expect from this Inductor, that should be enough to...

    Any suggestions for a supplier that replies to normies? :)

    Possibly bricked RX 5700?

    I don't think that one is a match. I suspect "R56" points to either 5.6 uH or 0.56 uH inductance, but I have no clue really. Can't find schematics out there nor any specific info about this inductor :( PS: measurements are 8mm x 7mm x 5mm

    Possibly bricked RX 5700?

    Well, it has gone back to Zombie mode. I was a bit too lazy disassembling the card to check it out and the inductor that is typically crooked came off (VDDCI related if I'm not mistaken). I'm having a hard time finding this exact component though. Anyone has any idea where I can find this...

    3060ti 8gb vs 3060 12gb

    Can you do 3x 1080p at 144hz? That's the use case I see every day in my field, especially for laptops. Might be outdated knowledge on the companies' side or might be too lazy to work with splitters, but the fact is that I still see people prioritizing either an unnecessarily expensive cpu or...

    3060ti 8gb vs 3060 12gb

    I wouldnt consider anything below 60 fps on minimum settings to be acceptable and for many gens now the 50s and below cant do that on latest gen games of their era. I'm not saying it shoulr be that way, just how it is.. As for your question, plenty use on offices for a low end gpu.. the most...

    3060ti 8gb vs 3060 12gb

    For the longest time a 60 card is an entry gaming card. Dont confuse an entry gaming card with an entry card... my whole comment is about gaming GPUs. Anything below the 60s can typically be matched with a cheap mid tier from the previous gen (not cheap anymore these days I know). 30 cards are...

    3060ti 8gb vs 3060 12gb

    Not only that but the xx60 cards are entry tier, not mid or high tier. 70s are mid, 70Ti and up are mid-high or high. 50s are always the "barely usable in gaming" ones and therefore can't even be considered entry tier for a gaming GPU. We're given a choice of 12GB or 8GB with much better...

    Computer keeps restarting

    It can reboot, depends on other things (i.e. maybe its not cpu TJMax triggering it, but heat on the MB itself due to spread since it can't spread to the heatsink which crashes drivers and reboots - seen this happening). I can't explain the fact his CPU goes to 90-95°C in BIOS using the PSU as a...

    Those are bitchy to insert. You need to rotate the pins in the arrow direction while in the Up position, then pin them down in position through the wholes. Don't be afraid of applying force, that's how they work. You need to hear a clicking sound and you need to be able to lift the whole mb...

    Computer keeps restarting

    For a reference, my 6700K with stock cooler runs at 28ºC with 22ºC ambient on an open rig. Not in the BIOS, windows idle. This is absolutely not normal. We can stop suggesting looking for problems with windows, this is not a software problem if the cpu is hitting 90ºs C while in BIOS.

    Computer keeps restarting

    No this is not normal at all and 99.9% the problem. Your CPU does little to no effort while you're in the BIOS. That generation doesn't even pull the power to justify 100ºC under extreme load in Africa. Your cooler is most likely not correctly mounted and not making any contact with the CPU...

    Computer keeps restarting

    How are the the temps looking like? If you get 0 drivers errors/bluescreens and your memories are fine and can run cinebench but only.. sometimes? Sounds like something is overheating and mb protection kicks in. Not sure how well equipped with sensors that MB is but if you want to run whatever...

    New PSU suggestions please.

    Not sure, I only have same gen cables but i'd expect the 24pin-out to not go in the slot, all it takes is inverting one of the non-squared pins. If they don't do that, yeah it's dirty :laugh: I just assumed they did. Regardless, had a bad experience with a almost new cooler master so my main...
