😳 That’s not great news to hear… we’ll keep an eye on this card and see what happens.

Completely serious. It's very distracting. But please note that this is the only issue with it. Just about every 4090 is great though and as this was one of the cheapest it is probably the best aftermarket card currently available as you say. If they had just put the LED's around the edge of the fan ports... The LED's have been turned off and my customer is happy. Personally, if I was having LED's then everything would have LED's. It's conspicuous (and irritating) with the LED's on, but it's conspicuous with the LEDS off if the rest of the PC lights up... Not sure my comment was actually Freudian, everything does have to have LED bling... assuming you want to spend the extra money on it. I probably should've added that statement just to clarify. I do actually care a lot about LED bling. I love it. See my other videos. But also see the PC this card is in at the end of this video. 😍

I didn't approach this with lab rules in mind - I have no idea what the ambient temperature was, but I do mention that its warm in the room. Because it was. :D The CPU is on the defaults (voltages, etc) apart from the XMP for the 6000Mhz RAM being enabled. I put the CPU in and when it first booted I checked it was identified correctly in the BIOS and then enabled XMP. That's all. The case, however, is the Lian Li 011 EVO XL in reverse mode. So the rear exhaust fans are now on the bottom of the rear panel. And the fans are blowing cool air in directly onto the cooler - which might be helping. Especially are there are two 120mm fans there because the motherboard tray has been moved higher up. There's also 3 x 140mm fans on the bottom blowing air up into the case. So if your case is the more usual 'right side of the desk' layout then your CPU will be getting fed hotter air from the GPU below it - especially if it's a newer card with the blow through cooler at the front end of it. My customer will pick up the PC later today and I've already asked them to keep a note of maximum temperatures. They'll be leaving HWInfo running and then noting down the maximum temp it records when they finish a session. I was a bit surprised too - but the numbers don't lie and I've shown them in the video as proof. I'm just wondering how much of a difference the case is making because of it's unusual layout. If you've already got a cooler fitted then you may as well keep it and get on with the gaming... :)

Indeed, my case has a classic layout: At the front, two 140mm Noctua IPP Industrial 3000RPM fans on top (which directly channel air to the heatsink), and a Silversone Air Penetrator 180mm fan at the bottom regulated with a fan controller, a 120mm Nidec GT 2150RPM exhaust fan at the back, another 180mm Silverstone on the side panel to help cool the GPU (Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro+ Vapor X), and the 6 fans of the AIO are also industrial (120mm Deltas at 3400RPM). As you can see, noise is not a problem for me since I’m aiming for raw cooling performance (I used to have a custom loop on an AM3+ platform, and when I upgraded to AM5 last year, I preferred to go with air cooling and an AIO because of maintenance terms). So, in terms of airflow, I’ve set up a true overkill 😅. I tried a Deepcool Assassin 3 before this LF 3 360, and the real difference is probably around 2°C in idle in favor of the LF3, but I haven't been able to calculate well in gaming-maybe 3-5°C. But I’ve been eyeing the PS120 Evo for a while now, and I’m still tempted to try it, especially seeing the minimal difference with 360 AIOs... Will it be better than the Deepcool Assassin 3 I had? I think it might be... Any test data you gather with the PS120 Evo, keep me posted! Thank you very much, mate! 🙂

You either install the versions of MaxxAudio Pro and sound driver that shipped with the laptop, or install the latest versions of both. :)

Pretty much any combination of computer and printer that fits your budget. 😊

That might be tricky for all sorts of reasons... but you can dismantle yours and check for stickers with part numbers on. Google them and see what appears. In my experience, the screens are pretty easy to find, but the plastic lids and bezels are not usually available unless you get lucky. I have bought damaged laptops on eBay and swapped the parts over though - this used to be a good idea for SONY laptops, but isn't really cost effective now. Note that the lids and bezels are usually plastic - so you could get some proper epoxy glue and repair them that way. :)

Download the BIOS using another computer, and the put the file in on a USB stick - follow the instructions as you might have to rename the downloaded file. Plug the USB stick into the faulty computer, boot and enter the BIOS. If that works then you should be able to update the BIOS using the flash program. It depends on the motherboard though... but most modern motherboards have a BIOS Flash util built into their BIOS. Hope that helps.

​@@sterntechdaddy I resetted my bios by removing cmos battery and putting it back and guess what! it worked 🎊✌.

Always try the easiest thing first... its usually the cheapest too. 😊 If its not broken then there's no need to fix it. So if there isn't a specific reason to update BIOS, then there's no need to do it.

I'm not sure about Canada... they probably have a fairly relaxed and sensible attitude to the Internet, but you should just choose the region where you live because that will setup time zones and keyboard mapping correctly. You also don't need to wait for it to charge - you can use it immediately if the mains is connected and turned on. You can pause the video and rewind too... so just take your time. If the video doesn't match your particular laptop then don't worry - just do the bits that do match. :)

Glad it helped. :)

You’ll probably need the drivers installing. Run Windows Update and then check the optional updates. Install them all and see if that helps.

It needs the USB for power… 🙂 But that’s all…

It’s a guide… it’s not step by step, but there’s everything you need to get it working if you’ve got a few skills.

No - you don't ned to dismantle the case to get the PSU out. There's a screw on the front and a screw on the opposite side of the power supply that holds it in place. Remove those two screws and the PSU just lifts out. It's got a separate bracket attached to it which makes swapping it out really easy. You can see the front screw at 20:42 - it's the silver screw in the hole between the two silver screws on the front. Hope that helps. :)

@@sterntechdaddy thank you I just ordered this case

Cool. It's a really nice case! :)

@@sterntechdaddy another question, can I fit many hdds in it? I will use the case for my home server so I will probably use at least 3 drives, or fit a hd case

The Qube 500 has 4 x 3.5” drive mounting positions and 3 x 2.5” drive mounting positions. You can put 2.5" drives into 3.5" adapters if you need to. :)

Does it have an Intel 8th Gen or newer CPU? Win11 won’t officially install - even with TPM enabled. But… if you’ve got 4GB or more of RAM then you can tweak the installer USB with Rufus and get Windows 11 installed without TPM. I’ve made a video about how to do it. 🙂

Glad it helped.

Glad it helped. 😊

Glad it worked. 🙂

It depends on the version of Windows you have installed, but each one has a reset option or you can just use a USB to do it.

Not sure what you mean by the black layer - the keyboard has a black bottom, but that is very much part of the keyboard and not a separate thing. If the screws holding the keyboard in place are removed then it comes off as shown. Note that there are two screw mounts on the bottom of the keyboard - the DVD drive is one and the other more obvious.

Yeah, I was talking about the black bottom. Yesterday I tried again and managed to pull it off. It didn’t go as smoothly as in your video. I had to use much more power and was scared to damage it. But everything was alright. Thank you very much for the video!

If you use a spudger to release the clips then you can't really do any damage - but the clips are pretty strong and need to be released by pushing ion exactly the right places. Glad you've got it sorted though.

Glad to help.

I'm still using the Hero 8, but for the Hero 9 you can get a 52mm adaptor that fits the lens mount directly - rather than clipping on like in this video. Search for "52mm Lens Filter Adapter Ring for GoPro Hero9 Black Action Camera Hero 9 10" and hopefully you'll find the AliExpress listing I spotted. If the media mod gets in the way I'm sure a little tweak with a hacksaw would sort some extra room so it fits. :)

@@sterntechdaddyfound it!!! Great tip. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the sub! Read the description though... the method for bypassing the Microsoft Account login changes... Currently, the Pro version allows local accounts via the setup for business option. Home is more problematic as you can't skip the account login anymore, but if you're happy to use a Microsoft Account then there's no problem. The tweaks still apply.

CPU support is listed here… www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760-P-DDR4/support#cpu 🙂 12400 was on the last page of i5 results - it is supported if you’ve got the right version of the BIOS.

Should do. I can’t remember if Windows detects it or if you have to grab the driver and install from a USB.

Check my other Yoga 11e video. ua-cam.com/video/7QB9zOg6bVU/v-deo.html

But if it was working with the older BIOS but not after the update then I’d revert back to the older BIOS. Unless you’ve got a compelling reason to update, there’s no need to… if it’s not broken, don’t try and fix it. 😜

Also check the GPIO drivers as they control the touch screen. The comments for the video in the link about discuss that. The barerobert comment from about 5 years ago has the full details.

Glad to hear it worked. 🙂

You can pretty much get rid of anything with HP in its name - just keep an eye out for something that might relate to the Fn keys. I would take a photo/screenshot of the list, remove things and if anything weird happens you can then put it back. Generally doing a complete wipe and reinstall using a vanilla Windows USB is probably easier as you’ll also be able to reclaim the space used by the HP recovery image. This can be 23GB. 🙂

If the first video works then you don’t have to watch the follow on video. If you get an error when you restart WinRE or you just want to tidy up the fix then watch the follow on. 🙂

The partition that you can shrink needs to be adjacent to the WinRE partition - then when you recreate the partition the 250MB of space made by shrinking and the space created by deleting the WinRE partition get added together.

@@sterntechdaddy Thanks. How do I make them adjacent to each other? When I shrink the C Drive by 250 MB, it is sitting on the right side of the C Drive and the WinRE is on the left side of the C Drive.

That might be called WinRE, but it could be a boot partition that's about 100MB in size, then C: which will use the bulk of the space on the drive and then, hopefully, the actual WinRE partition that the tools are on which should be around 512MB. You might also have the OEM Recovery Partition - this will be bigger though - they can be 23GB. The actual layout can vary a bit though. You might need to use a more powerful tool to move the partitions about. Who made your computer?

It’s unusual for Windows not to detect any kind of network device… you might need to run a cable to your router, but if the LAN port isn’t detected then I would use a USB Wi-Fi adaptor. Run Windows Update once you get a connection and look for the optional updates. Install all of them. 🙂

​@@sterntechdaddy Thank you for the reply, I fixed it <3

I applied for the offer after a few hours but I want to expecting to get sent one. I even put the delivery tracking emails into Junk. 😂

I'll pin a comment about this... 😊

Thanks! I did originally think about using environment variables, but as the script only gets setup once I thought it best to lock in the folder paths. The find/replace is also simple enough, but there's a hidden narrative to doing that. If the viewer can actually do the find/replace then they'll be OK with getting the script to work. It's a little competence test that also highlights and reinforces the folder locations to help the viewer learn more about their data. :)

Just hover over any inks to make sure they are going to Google. This could get snaffled by spammers at some point. Not at the moment though... and it's relatively easy to check the offer is legitimate.

I don't bother encrypting any of my data. There's nothing that anyone else would find interesting or profitable in it. 😂 Is the password written down?

The horses concerned might to too big to get frightened by me. 😜

Wait… they made more than one?!?!? 😁😂

@@sterntechdaddy yes 1000 pieces 🤪

Cool! Who makes them? LianLi and Thermaltake models are available here, but choice is a bit too limited.

@@sterntechdaddy mostly LIanli knock offs but they work for the price... we have darkflash, Jungle Leopard, Aigo and some chinese branding that I cannot read lol

They probably won't make it over here... does AliExpress have them listed?

@@sterntechdaddy I looked up Ali, and Jungle Leopard is available there

They look a *bit* like LianLi fans... lol

If you follow it correctly it will work with nothing bad happening. See the follow on video to tidy it up if you want to. 🙂

@@sterntechdaddy ok thank you sir have you ever heard of something like I said before where all audio goes away I tried everything to fix it but I could not find anything and the things I was looking up said it was because of this update

@@sterntechdaddyI also have 2 disks a 0 and 1 do I just keep going with the zero one?

@@sterntechdaddyI did everything the video says but not it says feturingbupdate windows 10 22h2 stays downloading and it’s not moving

@@sterntechdaddysorry for spamming you but it went through now it says there were problems downloading some updates but we’ll try again later if you keep seeing they try researching the web or contacting support which I have done all the error code is 0x80070005 is there even a fix for this or will I the to find a new computer?

Thanks!

Brilliant. Although I was hoping they’d invite me over… 😂😂 Not holding my breath btw.
