Its gonna be one hell of an experience to try and get people off of 10. 11 just interesting to a lot of people, a lot don't want AI shoved in their face, a lot don't like the user interface/experience changes. Hell 11 isn't doing great...

Quick and crude solution for now. Temperatures aren't even low. Last summer I hit ~14*C/57F under FULL load. But I did have better venting leading to PC Wonder if I can get a waterblock and recirculate r134a or R410A

That's a good tip Try and get Isopropyl alcohol/Isopropanol over 90% when cleaning contacts and/or PCB. Can usually be found in pharmacies and big af grocery stores. Dries out somewhat faster, removes thermal paste, dirt, etc and less water

Can you use the USB-C for audio signal and USB-C PD for power at the same time or do you have to use BT+USB PD or 3.5mm+USB PD combo?

I got a Samsung Galaxy Book Go and 5G with 7c and 8cx gen2 respectively. You got it right when stating that ARM was about consuming less power. The batteries in either laptop last forever. Native ARM64 Firefox, (now) CPU-Z and 7zip all work wonderfully. As does the WoW ARM client. But Chrome...

I only have some anecdotal evidence: I tested games with Denuvo enabled and disabled. On older systems it had higher CPU use than on modern systems. HWinfo also shows that with Denuvo enabled there is a lot more activity on SSD, but not drastic, not enough to kill a modern SSD. I tested with...

Its a gaming line of GPUs. Designed for gaming. For pretties on the screen. That's why AMD has CDNA and RDNA lines, to separate them for various use cases. I get that the modern GPU can do a lot more than just graphics, but they were designed to give you graphics, the radiance display engine...

Why would ANY GPU manufacturer open source FW. That would open up a very strange can of worms. Idiotic from a business point of view and security nightmare. Lets ask Microsoft to open source Windows next. Closed source software exists for a reason. We need both open source software and closed...

Just need a little more speed, otherwise good

Seeing all the news today in regards to CPU-Z benchmarks, I decided to try the new version on 8cx Gen2. Ill see if I can get 7c Gen 2 benchmarks done today:

Any way to stick on same Windows 11 23H2 on an ARM PC? The registry target version doesn't seem to work. Rather not upgrade W11 on ARM further as it already does a decent job of x86_64 translation (Win 11 was required for this to work on 64bit apps). Native ARM apps like 7z, VLC already work...

Hello Got an interesting, perhaps stupid question for yall.... Does it matter which USB port you use for a keyboard or a mouse? I got an X570 mobo with 4 USB2.0 ports, a few 3.0 (5Gbps ports) and 3.1 Gen 1 Service Pack 3 Professional lite edition whateveritscallednow (10Gbps ports) The...

Just for science sake: New GPU-Z works now, 2.56.0 Still doesn't. Also just noticed: 2.56.0 Shows shaders at 2560 Unified vs 5120

I mean its not a problem, just weird. Everything in terms of GPU works correctly, and I think a lot of us here would agree that GPU-Z is an amazing piece of software, and that AMD isn't always the best at coding drivers. I figured I'd report the issue just in case.

Not sure if this should be in hardware or software, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. But it is software that shows the hardware. Windows on ARM feels like some kind of parallel universe, everything is almost the same, almost. You got native Firefox, 7zip, etc. Feels strange...
