    City Fibre

    From my research they're all very similar apart from TalkTalk and Zen, which if available, are a no-brainer. Reliability and latency matter the most.

    Borefest of overpaid actors talking for 3 hours. USS Indianapolis or Little Boy,Fat Man are the superior Manhatten Project films.

    Random Freezes

    Run MSI Kombustor until something freezes or try Media Player Classic HC using hardware decoding and madVR quality upscaling settings which will hit the GPU very hard. Its obviously the GPU that's bad. "Watching youtube, Twitch, or a film on VLC player.." are all GPU accelerated.

    Apps for testing OC

    Its unstable. You have to test with TM5 again after a reboot for re-train stability. Extreme is obsolete. Absolut is better.

    WD Black SN850X not showing up in Disk management but I can see it in Bios and also WD Software ! Whats going on ?

    I've had immense difficulty installing the SN850X so far. The WD DashBoard is near useless. It can't even do a basic format due to "Driver limitations" and the USB media creation failed. Updating the firmware might have been a mistake. I tried using nvme-cli format. There was an error changing...

    The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

    Exactly. A guy suddenly showed when volunteers were searching the grounds and he demanded they have a warrant to look inside. The river is shallow. He could have easily carried her across or placed the items + dog the other side. Occams Razor was mentioned: Big house that no-one has searched...

    The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

    Why haven't they searched inside the "abandoned" house and tested every square inch for blood traces? The police incompetence is astonishing.

    New memory benchmark comp (aida64 alternative)

    It crashes and the interface becomes garbled. There are mistakes in the assembly code. QueryPerformanceCounter no longer works in Windows and should be avoided. L1 latency is easy to measure yet its gone wrong. It should be 5/X ghz ns =~1ns

    It's too hot :(

    Still hotter outside than inside. The cloud blanket holding in this heat is a nightmare. I have a massive fever and feel terrible. Easily the worst day in a decade.

    Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4

    Why can't the soundcard go into the bottom large PCIE? Its 4 slots inbetween the bottom and top PCIE slot. Onboard sound should be avoided.

    Xmp problem with ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4

    Memory slots 2 and 4, the farthest away ones should be occupied or xmp won't work. Didn't you read the printed manual?

    *** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

    Conclusion: Windows 11 is an insufferable mess of non-removable bloat, unnavigable maze of nebulous "settings" and a waste of your time. Run firmware update .exe ? Defender: Not allowed. Associate jpg with infranview? Not allowed. Run unassociated files with media player classic HC. Not...

    Alder Lake-S leaks

    How will the hardware scheduler know that function A / instruction B is part of an extremely demanding benchmark / production software / strategy game or just Windows bloat ? How will the Gracemount cores operate? Will they be seen as normal "cores" 8-15 or will there be new ACPI level stuff...
