It really depends on the game IMO my rule of the thumb is. larger open world games without loading screens and big maps, put on the SSD. Games with loading screens, (strategy, 4x, indie) put on the HDD

When I do it manually using either windows tool, or any other third part software it will lock my disk usage at 100% for up to 8 hours depending on how heavily fragmented the disk is. I feel like the only time fragmentation really starts to cause issues is when your disk is near full capacity...

I mean Windows 10, the software I recommended will lightly defragment your drives in the background when your computer usage is low. As far as I know the windows derangement tool must be either scheduled or run manually and will perform the work in one single action that can take up to hours...

If you want something that acts a bit smarter you are best checking out this software, it's premium but they are the only defrag software that are microsoft gold partner as far as I know of and I personally use it myself. https://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag As far as I know the...

I can't find the exact page anymore but they have a rating of 7.5 (maybe 75) whatevers? and they are comparable to quadro cards. I installed the cuda drivers for pytorch but never ever got around to using it.

I don't think the GTX have comparable compute power for machine learning as the rtx cards.

Sounds like someone is scratching the walls waiting for a new build. We've all been there.

Despite working in IT for several years I'm a developer and haven't done much in the way of sysadmin. I'm literally just poking in the dark and hoping some of the members might be able to point me in the right direction. I at least know the technology exists because of the existence of Google...

I'm pulling upon all the shared knowledge of all the people on the board. I only have a concept but I don't have the fully rounded knowledge to actually implement such an idea. We've finally saved up enough for a mortage deposit and moving into a new home within the next few months and I really...

With an unlocked chip you can always just down-clock for everyday use and set up a profile for overclocking for when you need it. You're not forced to run it at high temperatures.

Look at the heatsink on the recoil IV(X170) compared to the Octanve V/VI(P775)

I use one to boost a 2TB disk drive and I can really say my experience with it is that the first time loading a game is slow and if you turn the game off and reload it the second time will be much faster. If you don't install the optane software it will default to an ssd drive, they are...

If you know how to set it up correctly you may want to consider an optane drive and using it as a small capactiy ssd and utilise it for its superior speeds and set it as your windows cache drive to shadow the RAM.

Is this a consistent problem? I needed the latest version of windows to play the new minecraft RTX and the install failed at least 5 or 6 times at the restart phases. Eventually it succeeded but it managed to change my BIOS boot order and went into recovery mode due to a leftover recovery...

Anything final to say before I go ahead with a copper IHS next saturday? I'm not going to use liquid metal between the heatsink and IHS thought because I don't want the heat sink to be damaged in anyway. If this is a negligible risk let me know if this is damage that would occur over the time...

Late to the party but it looks like no one else is here yet. As far I know, the larger laptops sport bigger heat-sinks which would in theory provide better cooling which is a pretty big determining factor for getting the best out of what you pay for. My wife has a 15" slim gaming laptop and it...

If there is a need to replace with my yearly paste it might be worthwhile buying a delider after all. The up front cost to get all the kit in place is over £100. I was just going to get a guy near to london to do it for me. the IHS is £20 buy the looks of his pricing. I was hoping for a 1 time...

Sorry to keep hitting you with the questions, Did you use liquid metal between the IHS and the heatpipes or did the liquid metal underneath the IHS corrode the top? Given the choice which would you recommend? Copper + kryonaut nickel + conductanaut (probably going to take this then)

ohhh so liquid metal will corrupt even the stock IHS? not ideal, I've never seen anyone use kryonaut in any of the delidding. Is it better than the solder?

not even on the inside? The guy definitely uses liquid metal on the inside. Should I just cancel the pure copper IHS and just keep the stock nickel coated copper one?
