oh my God someone's calling
hello howdy this is Dennis what's her name
what is this you children Tech tips can
I just speak ability issues press one let's press one I don't know what it
said
hello Zachary you've reached press one for Tech tips holy this is very
weird well it's only weird if you make it weird what can I do for you well I
actually have a problem I have one of the founders Edition for the 3090s
that's a problem well you know I got multiple problems my room is hot with
this thing like it's producing too much heat but you know what my other problem
I have is like it keeps turning on and off so the LED on the monitor like turns
off and on no I'm sorry uh the GPU on
the LED okay so the actual GeForce logo
turns off and back on and it drops the
output but the system does not reboot I don't have any experience with that
exact problem but what I can tell you is that anytime you experience something
that is so weird that nothing could possibly explain it it's either memory
or the power supply I actually had the
power supplies that were exploding a couple weeks ago and I exchanged that
and it's still doing it I are you making this up I cannot make this up are you on
this computer right now yeah I'm on it right now I'm talking so it's working
now it's working fine okay have you tried doing a completely fresh driver
installed um yeah and it was doing the blanking
thing before you reformatted and then it was doing it again after it was not
doing that on Windows 11. yeah it's
probably software so what I would do is I would get ddu are you familiar with
ddu I can Google it yep so Google that so you're going to want to restart your
system in safe mode wipe out your NVIDIA drivers do a nice fresh install if that
doesn't fix it then go to NVIDIA because one way or another this sounds like
their problem whether it's the hardware or the software
that was quick so do I gotta pay you or something or tip you or no no we give
the tips wait that was the whole point yeah that's it you just call in and get
Tech tips okay well all right thank you
Jason for calling in today what can I help you with today you know I was just
seeing you guys made videos about installing Windows 11 yeah and I was
just wondering how do I install less than one window because I got a few
Windows in my house that are broken
oh oh oh oh you're funny please help my
3080 please what you need to do is find
yourself a toaster oven and put it in the toaster oven okay keep it in there
for about an hour and then you'll rug it back in and your computer will maybe
explode thank you for calling press one for Tech
tips please note your call may be monitored for quality and training purposes how can I help you I have a
problem with my USB audio DAC I reinstalled the drivers and
that sometimes fixes it sometimes doesn't fix it it's weird when I unplug
it and replug it back into resets it but after every two hours it goes back to
that garbled audio so I was wondering if you could help me with this this issue what I suspect it is is it's more to do
with the USB controller that you have it plugged into so most motherboards these
days have at least two USB controllers on them typically one of them is USB 2
and then the other one would be USB 3. can we have a look at the back of your
computer that's your face still I had your flip for a second there
that's hot um question for you are you running
ryzen 3000 or ryzen 5000 ryzen three thousand okay so you know there were
some USB issues with ryzen 3000 a little while ago right I had no idea now that I
know you're running ryzen 3000 I would say there's a really solid chance that
you just need to update your BIOS and the issue will go away failing that never hesitate to try a different cable
if you just have any other USB cable lying around it it can be worthwhile
trying it just to see what happens but I I think that I've got this one nailed
for you all right thank you thanks for calling in oh
these Tech tips are making me thirsty
oh they're fantastic water bottles they're made with uh the best materials
um uh do you feel me with you night
right now I I'm just next to you right now you close your eyes you can feel me
right next to you what hang on me
thank you for calling press one for Tech tips how can I help you so I got my good
old 3080 I came to retail for it nice was working fine
um and then it got really dusty cleaned it out there's a few cables around just
to make it look a little better and now it's not displaying anything okay so
what happens when you press the power button so if I press the power button essentially the motherboard gives me an
error code of zero zero okay show me that code zero zero that sounds to me
like basically nothing is happening what
cables did you move because usually zero zeros like your freaking CPU is not
plugged in so I moved these two cables they were up Sierra
I ordered them down and then I did a little troubleshooting because I took
the two AIO cables if I did receive the
AIO once it wasn't doing anything and then still nothing here's what I want
you to do can you check and make sure your 8-pin CPU power connector is seated
all the way in cool okay so let's flip that back power
switch back on and let's try and fire this thing up if this doesn't do
anything I might have bad news for you all right hit it yep that's all I need
to see go ahead and flip the back power supply switch off again and let's pop
that AIO off I don't know how you do
this one-handed for me it's a top priority to be able to do things
one-handed that's why they call me one hand Johnny I think I got Colton for the first time
and then you just told me to put the 3080 in my first album and just hung up
that's some good Tech tips right there
the AIO is off okay I want you to pull out your CPU now uh you gotta lift up
the ARM did you lift up the ARM I did you did okay okay and just hold the CPU
up to the camera yep yeah I'm not gonna be able to make this out from here but do you see any
bent pins I do not let's go ahead and
reseed it let's put that back in the motherboard ever so gently now uh we're
gonna do an advanced move here you're gonna flip your power supply switch back
on and we're gonna power this puppy up yeah all right sorry Vinnie you got a
big fat Hardware problem here if I had to guess I would say probably
motherboard I'm glad it's not
I wish I had better news for you but at least you are on the right track I think
in terms of troubleshooting here awesome thank you so much Linus all right no
problem Vinnie take care Hi how are you
instead what do you mean who are you going to talk to
hey this is Linus from Linus Tech tips I
tips
3cx's technology is something that we've never really had to chance to play with
before normally we don't really have open phone lines here at Linus Media
Group so you can just call us but with a service like theirs it is absolutely the
kind of thing that we could conceivably do and it was surprising how easy it was
to set up you can do it in a number of ways you can have it hosted by 3cx which
is the easiest option you can host in your own private Cloud on Google Amazon
Azure digitalocean or whatever or you can even host on-premise with Windows
Linux or even a Raspberry Pi their costs are super low the standard license is
free for a year and hosting is also free for one year on all license sizes 3cx is
ideal for remote workers just install the free mobile or desktop app or use
the web client and they've got support for live chat SMS Facebook and Google
messaging with all of them coming together in one interface so whatever
your needs are go check them out we're going to have them linked down below and
thanks again to 3cx for sponsoring this video hi there thank you for calling press one
for Tech tips please note your call maybe for quality and training purposes
how may I help you I've got this really dumb thing I downloaded speedfan a while
ago now that's a name I've not heard in a long time I have no idea how to get it
to pick up my fans or detect them or do anything with this software at all
really here's a question for you what vendor is your motherboard made by this
is an MSI X big 570a Pro MSI will
actually have a Windows based utility that you can download
instead of speed fan why do you need
this there is my first question so I have a 30 70 and sometimes it does get a
bit hot but the fans don't sound like they're super ramping up so you want to
control the fans on your GPU GPU and CPU
well the GPU is easy for that you just want to download MSI afterburner there
you go that's what you want so you're gonna make yourself a custom fan speed
curve so the more gradual this slope is
the less you'll notice it going
you know up and down and up and down so what we've done here is we've made it so
your GPU is going to be super quiet when you're not doing anything but once you
start to do something it will ramp up much more aggressively and then now if
you wanted to have a more aggressive curve all you would do is drag your dots
up about it that's pretty much it that's your Tech tip on how to use afterburner
to control the fan curves on your GPU it's a lot easier if I have this if I
have these things right in front of me at the same time but that's okay we made it work all right thanks Sean yep I'm
gonna move on to my next tech tip take care for Mac Address press five you
selected macOS as we all know it just works so instead of technical support
please enjoy this Den music to help you relax while you use your working
computer
ah all right yo what's your question what you got
are you oh
my phone has this ghost touch issue so
the trick is you have to take an electrode and use that to touch the
phone okay but also you can try microwaving it if that doesn't work
hello thank you for calling press one for Tech tips please note your call may be recorded for quality and training
purposes how can I help you today I'm having issues in my
country fans are always at 100 no matter what my fans are always at 100 too just
like you Adam you're a hundred percent
okay in all seriousness though let's have a look at what you're working with here by the way I love your shirt
oh thank you I want to jump right out ahead of you and say I think your fans
are plugged into a water pump header on an ASUS motherboard
okay A bit of embarrassing I can't figure it out as well because I'm
working myself how sure are you that all of them are actually stuck at 100
95 did you like stick your finger in them and make sure
okay yeah these are going these are going okay let's reboot I want to have a
look at your bio settings uh hold on can I can I just see yeah let's just close
out of this interface and go to monitor to fan configuration let's go in there
and let's go to chassis chassis fan configuration pwm mode Polo c210 yeah
let's change that to pwm a water pump Q fan control let's set that to enabled
just for fun pwm mode looks like neither
of these is going to allow themselves to be controlled at all that's fine just
just ignore these go back water pump plus we are plugged in to wpump plus
then we are getting an RPM sense off that man people are coming at me with
the challenging ones today W pump plus is the one right above it we do not want
to use that one so let's move that down to the high amperage one okay we're
significantly quieter now yeah all right now let's go ahead press F10 how's our
fan noise these are not so bad these ones are still definitely going at
really high speed now okay let's go back and have a look at
the BIOS again now we can see our CPU
fan speed is a thousand RPM that's right
near the rated speed of these fans so that could be running at 100 now what is
your CPU temperature go up to the top again 41 degrees now that should be fine
it might be a warm day so let's go back to the fan control yeah go down go down
Q fan configuration yep okay so CPU ah
okay let's change that over to pwm mode so cool meeting line is to troubleshoot
my computer one of the challenges though is if you have some of the fans plugged
into a header that just isn't respecting
those curves it's really hard to tell when they're working or not because the
system is going to be as loud as the loudest individual fan in it okay so for
whatever reason the CPU optional header
is respecting your fan curve but the CPU
fan speed header is not what is actually plugged into that header uh that is
actually just the AIO that's the RPM header okay so is your system quiet then
I think we're quieter now I don't know if you hear that I can't hear anything I
think you resolved it you know what's great you were totally plugged into a
pump header it's a really common thing every time I have trouble on an ASUS
board with fans not responding to Fan curves properly it's one of those
headers ASUS needs to address this they need to fix it I don't understand why
they don't all right Adam I'm Gonna Let You Go and I'm going to move on to my
next call all right perfect you have a good one
I want to hire you oh I can pay you in NFD nfts whatever the problem is just
throw your computer out the window and then you won't have any more problems I mean I'll do that right now oh excellent
thank you for calling press one for tactics
my computer is doing this strange thing where it plays uh like
okay and it says give me Tech tips uh so
check this one out
uh
oh boy
this is Tarana Chipotle Evans and Gilpin would you like guacamole on that whoa
hello this is Taryn and chipotle Evan the Gilpin you want guacamole on that
this is Taryn you want guacamole nobody understands the Chipotle references
thank you for calling press one for Tech tips how can I help you
University dorm and our internet likes to cut out a lot how do you know it
likes it well are you plugged in using a wire or are you trying to use Wi-Fi I
have everything over wire okay why don't you run me through how the setup works I
believe we have coaxial with Shaws what the university has so the thing about
coax internet every time you split it
there's some signal loss you're losing some gain when one of them cuts out do
they all cut out I'm aware of yeah we haven't figured
that out when you guys lose your connection do you go over and look at
the shaw box does it say it is connected to the internet there's probably nothing
I can do about this because it sounds to me like you've just got copper cables
that are doing rotten ugly old copper cable things so yeah I wish I had better
news for you guys but you're gonna have to have Shaw come out and unfuck it
because they're the only ones who can I think
hey have a great semester all right to hear a dad joke press six
why was the cell phone wearing glasses
because he lost his contacts
thank you
how can I help you today when I built my PC I got both a 970 uh Evo Samsung SSD
and I also got an Intel optane 280 gig
well that's not really a question is it is that really getting me any benefit
for your 970 you're using an optane cash no I would actually not recommend that
use case and the only reason I know this is because back when they first released
whatever that initial optane Cash Drive they released was I specifically asked
them the same thing I was like hey whoa
you know could I use this as a cache for my SSD on like a data center scale
absolutely the problem is that optane
connected to an NVMe interface doesn't have the same kind of advantages as
optane plugged into a memory slot when you add an optane drive as a cache my
understanding is that it doesn't contribute additional capacity anyway I'm using a Primo cash can I pitch you a
crazy idea I like crazy why don't you just get a hard drive if you threw that
on your hard drive as a cache you'd be blown away by how it performs I was
thinking about that too that makes sense I think that's your best bet don't waste
money on a high cap SSD if you're comfortable with the concept of caching
and if you already have a Primo cash licenses thank you so much Linus take
care have a great weekend
got tips
