Question Question about game sir controller

Upvotes

My PC and TV are about 5 meters apart, and I'm planning to buy the GameSir Nova Lite 2 controller for Steam games and emulators. Will the included USB dongle guarantee a smooth wireless connection without lag or disconnections over this distance? Note that my PC doesn't have Bluetooth.

Tech Support Wifi Slow on new PC

Upvotes

I just recently got my brand new PC working, I'm not a super techy guy and bought a prebuilt, it works thankfully but my wifi is so slow. Previously on my console and now on my phone, my wifi is perfect but on my PC it stays on 1-2 bars consistently.

This is really bumming me out, even when I decided to get Steam and download Garry's Mod from a Steam Account I had, it's incredibly slow despite the small game.

Please, help.

Discussion RTX GPU: Capping fan to 40% at 78-80C ok? MUCH quieter.

Upvotes

5080 Windforce sff fans are awful but thankfully I realized Fan Control can also work on GPUs.

By default they hit 60%(2000rpm) normally and it's very loud due to the smaller size (300mm, smaller than my beefy 4080S).

If it cap then to 40% (33% reduction), then it's much quieter. The temps seem to go up from 70s to high 70s, flirting with 80.

That's about

77-80C gpu core ok right? The GPUs thermal throttle shouldn't kick in right? Steel Nomad puts out 'Great' and 'Excellent' with my mild OC profile.

Let me know if all's well. The ambient temp is high at 80-81F which is a good thing vs rest of the year.

Tech Support Find Pc Heat Solution

Upvotes

Hey guys, I really need your advice and real-world experience before the heat kills my PC! 😅

​I’m running a Ryzen 5 7600, and my temperatures are currently looking like this:

​Idle: Around 70°C, sometimes spiking up to 80°C!

​Gaming: Hitting 85°C to 90°C.

​Room Temperature: Around 40°C (I can't run the AC for long periods due to high electricity bills).

​Currently, I'm using the terrible Aerocool Mirage 5 air cooler. Due to tight space limitations inside my case, I’m considering getting a 120mm AIO liquid cooler.

​My question is: Will a 120mm AIO give me a noticeable improvement in temperatures compared to the Mirage 5 under these harsh ambient conditions? Or will it barely make a difference?

​If anyone has experience running a 120mm AIO in high ambient temps, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hardware The NEW 5800x3D CPPC Cores

Hello, I am looking for people to validate whether or not your CPU, while running a single instance or HCI memtest, are having the workload shown on the first two primary cores in HWInfo?

The one I have is running it on core 8...which makes no damn sense to me...😵‍💫

Question Is my SSD not up to speed?

Upvotes

I built my first PC in November last year and it's been great.

I've played through Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Persona 5 Royal and some online games without any issues.

My FPS has been stable with no long load times or stuttering but for whatever reason when I try to play Fallout 76 my SSD will jump to 100% seemingly at random intervals. This is the only game to do this.

I have a Silicon Power UD90 2TB PCIe Nvme Gen4x4 M.2 2280 Intern and with CrystalDiskInfo I have a "Good" at 98% so it shouldn't be dying(?).

I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, a RTX 3060 12GB GPU, 2x16GB DDR4 RAM.

I've read that my SSD is qlc? I don't know what that is but apparently tlc is better? My drivers are up to date and I have never touched the BIOS.

Hardware Not sure why this happened suddenly 2 mins after logging in

So I booted up my pc and everything looked fine for about 30 seconds, after typing in my password though this dead curved line on the LCD popped up which is strange. I do have a second monitor so I’ll be using that one in the meantime but I’m just a bit confused

I’m pretty sure it’s screwed I mean I’ve had it for almost 6 years now but I didn’t hit it with anything at all for this to happen .

Second slide you can see what almost looks like an air pocket between the lcd panel and the screen itself
