Question PC 5.1 Audio

BLUF: Wondering what the best solution for 5.1 audio on PC is in today's environment. I see that the vast majority of ADC/DAC stacks are for Headphone/Stereo audio in 2021. I use mid to high end headphones when focusing, or playing a competative game, but I don't always want something on my...

Question Ryzen-Mainboard with good overall fan control (silence)

My ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate specifically has settings for the fans listed as, "silent", and more than enough headers to handle all of your system fan needs. I use Noctua fans, and split headers for pairs (2x front, 2x top, 2x CPU, one rear vent, and one bottom front inlet) and haven't had...

Question [SOLVED] Somehow eradicated safe mode

I've been troubleshooting random crashes for the last few days, which were ultimately tied back to the bios. However, in my efforts to troubleshoot from within Windows and other sources, I've somehow managed to erradicate Safe Mode within windows. Quite literally. Jamming F8 during windows...

Question 3950X on ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate - one problem solved, another one nagging

Ah yes... debug whack-a-mole. I remembered that AMD has a cleaner utility apart from DDU. I went to boot to safe mode, only to find that the system refuses. I've tried f8 on boot (no response), shift+shutdown from within windows (the advanced menu shows a boot to UEFI, and no boot to safe...

Question 3950X on ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate - one problem solved, another one nagging

All, I've been bug hunting weird behavior after upgrading to a 3950X on my ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimately. Immediately, I noticed some odd behavior with USB on my keyboard. However, that was generally resolved with a solid reboot of windows. I was a solid week in, and loving life when I...

Article "AMD vs. Intel CPU Market Share Q4 2019: EPYC and Ryzen Growth Decelerate, Mobile Ryzen Up" - Tom's

My two cents... Security, and what the market will bare is one of those things that always comes as an utter shock to me. Your average consumer is only willing to pay an average of 15-20 cents (USD) for security. Corporations are somewhere on the 25-30 cents range if I'm recalling the latest...

Solved! Odd FPS drops in Windows 10 Pro in certain windows/apps

With PIA running and up, but not in the foreground, the frame drop doesn't occur at all. Same with other apps. However, I seem to have stumbled onto a resolution that I swear I had already explored. Trying to fix a G-Sync issue in another game (5 fps when it first starts, going full screen...

Solved! Odd FPS drops in Windows 10 Pro in certain windows/apps

Shmee, Good suggestion. I hadn't thought to check for bad sectors. Unfortunately, Check Disk found no errors or bad sectors. The install isn't terribly old; I just reinstalled around November of this year. Is there a good tool for catching windows API calls, or the such? I'd almost like...

Solved! Odd FPS drops in Windows 10 Pro in certain windows/apps

All, I've posted about a similar issue in the past, but am once again experiencing weird FPS drops in certain windows. Specifically, I see my FPS drop from 120fps down to ~30fps (sometimes as low as 5, and sometimes as high as 60) when opening specific apps in Windows. I can consistently...

Question Slower Mouse Movement In Some Applications

Sorry for the slow reply; Yes, I have my refresh rate set to 120Hz in Advanced Display Properties. I've also played with G-Sync on and off, as well as windowed vs. full-screen exclusive on the off change that it could have been a culpret.

Question Slower Mouse Movement In Some Applications

I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this issue, or if it is just my perception. Certain apps (or even screens of apps) seem to have less fluid mouse movement than others. It feels like a FPS drop in a game. Specifically, I'm seeing it fairly consistently with the login screen of...

960 PRO 512GB (PCIE 3.0x4) & 970 EVO 1TB (PCIE 2.0x4) vs. 850 PRO 1TB (SATAIII & RAPID)

Ahhhh that makes so much more sense. So those are indeed falsely inflated numbers. Moving the data from my 1TB SSD should still theoretically see performance gains moving to my 1TB NVMe drive on PCIe 2.0x4, right?

Lengthy title, I know. Can someone please make sense of these CrystalDiskMark results for me? RAPID or no, I find it hard to believe that the results I'm getting from a SATA SSD with RAPID are valid. 960 PRO (PCIe 3.0x4) -----------------------------------------------------------------------...

Random pause w/ sound hang in games

Wall of text incoming! I'm not sure which forum this question honestly belongs in, so I'll try in the 'computer help' area. I've had issues off and on with what I believe are hard drive accesses since I built the system. However, I'm increasingly wondering if it is a motherboard issue. In a...
