It’s probably not, like I said it started happening after I updated to the latest drivers. Weirdly I only notice it when I’m watching yt videos, other than that it’s pretty unnoticeable or it doesn’t happen at all.
Well Ho-HUM!! My laptop won’t boot Windows anymore. The hardware itself seems OK as it is letting me do a file backup and recovery. I really didn’t want to buy a new laptop right now. Oh well, if I gotta, I gotta! Let’s see if I can recover this one first. Kinda dumb, though. It’s end of life and end of support, so it might be time for a new one. Sigh… LOL
Strange thing, though. I have the V40 running the system and it’s friggin’ great! Now I am starting to think the PC is not the best source. Time to go DAP? I’m thinkin on it now…
Ya, i had an old PC die out on me recently but its 12-year-old hardware so it was already on narrowed time. Personally, I went for a mini PC, since most i just need it to run Tidal if you don’t have to go mobile that might work for you too, but i also spent way too much on parts for my PC (last part should be here at the end of the month)
Sorry for responding so late, were you able to fix it? If not I would suggest trying bootrec commands in recovery command prompt
Hey! Thanks for responding. No worries. I was able to recover it. HW diags showed no failures. HP troubleshooting utilities gave me the option to try a system restore, so I picked a restore point from about a week ago, and it worked! It’s been 2 days now and so far, all is well.
I’m pleased it recovered. I’ll have to replace it soon eventually, but perhaps I bought myself some time.

just upgraded to a 5800X . temps reached 91 degrees on prime 95 yikes. loos like Ill wait till the long weekend and repaste it with kryonaut or something probably use a different spread method as well.
What kind of a cooler are you using?
be quite dark rock pro 4. I think its a mounting issue cause I mounted it in the case and CAn’t say I did the best job of it. I plan on case swapping soon so I may just remount it then. right now eco mode works fine cause I play on 1440p anyway. only game so far that seems to not like eco mode is battlefield 2044 but there ore issues than just frames in that game right now
It could be, but afaik temps on zen 3 are really high. My 5600X had no problem getting to 95C in AIDA64 with the stock cooler and even over that/bluescreened once I undervolted it.
2013 iMac that was going spare at work. I do care about computers, but I can’t have nice headphones and a nice computer.
I think you could justify a nice computer for your nice headphones.
the 5800x has design issues that make it the hottest SKU in the lineup. I may just spend a bit of time afterwards undervolting it and calling it a day. I’ve also been avoiding water cooling for so long I might go for that as well. and chuck the be quite in a second system for the living room
I can’t justify money out of thin air though. To be honest I shouldn’t have nice headphones either.

Honestly for a 5900X it probably makes sense. I want to build a custom loop myself, but air cooling will do for now.
5800x, but I was just ggonna go with an AIO cause mounting it is easier than this be quite cooler. I just need a case cause I would top mount it

One of my desktops is a 5800X, it’s being cooled by an EK-AIO 360 RGB. It’s running PBO and I’ve only touched into the 80s under test loads. Another good option if you didn’t want to go EK would be the Arctic Liquid Freezer series.
thos are the exact coolers I was considering
Ya i got the basic EK 360 for my 5800X, still waiting on some parts but im hoping to get somewhere around 70s
