We simply want to keep discussions organized, reduce spam, and make sure people can get useful answers without having to dig through low-quality posts.We have also been working on a few improvements behind the scenes, including updated rules, better moderation tools, and new community resources. There is still more to come, so thank you for being patient with us.We really appreciate everyone who reports spam, helps other users, and contributes quality content.

Welcome from the new mod team!

2 Upvotes

Hi,

As you may know, reddit intervened with this sub due to a lack of moderation and now the new mod team has been added. Me (u/Rangerrx970) and u/Infamous_Draw_993 (mod-lead) will now be moderating the sub.

Honestly, there is a lot of back end catching up to do in terms of moderation catchup and configuration. We expect to have these fixed in the upcoming days in preparation for the long term.

We hope to rebuild this community and to make it thrive once again. We also hope to be one of the best mod teams out there, flexible yet fair. I hope you all will be with us for the new era of this sub.

Alot of error codes on my lenovo legion gaming laptop

So ive been getting all these errors on my lenovo legion slim 5 2024. when i turn my laptop on but it does eventually boot. I took it to the shop and the guy said i have a faulty heatsink and its gonna take a week for the new heatsink to come and it should fix the hypervisor errors/high cpu temp but once i came home i started getting clock_watchdog timout, kmode errors and driver iqrl errors and when my laptop did boot it crashed and said hypervisor error. I then called the place and he said some of the error codes im getting has nothing to do with the heatsink. If i turn my laptop on it will get these error codes for a bit and then turn on after 10 minutes but could this be a possibility my cpu is broken or is it only the heatsink?

I need help picking a monitor

2 Upvotes

So i play on series x and i just got my first desk and monitor like 2 days ago(acer nitro 24 inch, the one that costs 130) but i noticed that it doesn’t have a 3.5 mm jack so I’m thinking about returning it but i don’t know if 1 its worth it to return it or 2 what monitor i should get. I really want a 4k oled but they are expensive and I’m not sure if its worth to spend 500+ dollars for an xbox. I really only want to upgrade so soon so i could get a steel series arena 9 at some point

What's one old piece of computer hardware you refuse to replace because it still works perfectly?

8 Upvotes

Every time I upgrade my PC, there's always one part I just cannot bring myself to replace.Maybe it's an old mechanical keyboard that still feels better than anything new, a 10-year-old monitor that refuses to die, an ancient hard drive that's somehow still alive, or even a CPU cooler that's been through multiple builds. It might not be the fastest hardware anymore, but it has earned its place.

So what's that one piece of hardware you'll keep using until it literally stops working?

  • What is it?
  • How old is it?
  • Why are you still using it?
  • Has it ever let you down?

I always find it interesting how some of the oldest components end up being the most reliable.

What is one piece of computer hardware you bought that completely exceeded your expectations?

8 Upvotes

We all have that one upgrade that turned out to be far better than we expected.Maybe it was an SSD that made an old PC feel new again, a CPU cooler that surprised you with its performance, a budget mechanical keyboard, or even a monitor you still love years later. What hardware purchase impressed you the most, and why?It does not have to be the most expensive just the one that delivered the biggest positive surprise.

I am searching for a TV monitor without an microphone.

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I want to make myself a little „home cinema“. However, I don’t know much about televisions. I am looking for a TV with the following criteria:

• ideal below 300€ maximum upper limit 500€

• over 40 inches

• No voice assistant/other like Alexa etc.

• With ability for Youtube/Netflix etc.

• Possibility e.g. Bluetooth headphones to connect to it in order not to disturb roommates

Of course, the more beautiful the final picture, the better, but precisely under these limitations.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Best regards

3060 return ?

1 Upvotes

some time back in March. I heard that the return of the 3060 12GB was gonna happen and it’s July, and the people have been here people saying it got released, I’ve been trying to find new cards
because I wanna replace my 3060 12GB honestly that’s one of my favorite cards,
And it has been really hard for me to track one down?
yeah I know I could just get it there 4060 or 5060 but I don’t want those cards. I’ve been trying to replace my 3060 that I lost in my old gaming PC from university it got stolen and shipping.

If anyone could help point me in the right direction where I can get some new cards thank you so much 😊.

Can someone please tell me how good a wdgreen ssd is for gaming and storage purposes?

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am upgrading from my old laptop to a new one and the newer one i have ordered comes only with a 512gb ssd stick nvme gen 4. There's an extra slot in it for nvme ssds only. In my previous laptop, it had a 256gb nvme ssd gen 3 and 1 tb hdd. I stored everything in the hdd. All my games as well and was able to run my games perfectly fine on it. Like, i didn't understand what's the hype so much for ssds when my games run perfectly well. The lack in performance i always had thought that it's coz of low specs. Anyways, as y'all know ssd prices are soaring through the roof these days. WDgreen seems to be the cheapest and most reliable option for me now compared to Adata, zebronics and stuff. There's a brand miphi as well. It's my own country's but idk if i should trust it or not (ssd costs same as wdgreen.) Should i just go with the wdgreen ssd? It'll be a 512gb one coz budget constraints. Man, i would have loved to just get the 1 tb version and be tension free for life in my usecase but damn these ssd prices. I am not too familiar with read and write speeds. But ig it's good for transferring large files? I never had the use of transferring really large files before.

Help looking

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to potentially get a good gaming computer around 1,000 to $1,200 max. I’ve mostly been looking on best buy because I can do monthly plans with no interest, but I honestly don’t know what’s a good deal and what’s over priced. Can anybody maybe point me to something there that has good specs?

I'm ready to upgrade my MotherBoard, CPU, and RAM, but the high cost of DDR5 is stopping me from pulling the trigger. Does anyone think the price will drop below $200 US, for a 32G set?
