I can confirm he's legit. I'll just bumplock this over the other thread. redirect all tech stuff to here.

>>15849368

You're fine

Alright, good. Stay golden, ponyboy.

Try not to be so unsophisticated.

I dunno I'm using the same windows install since 10 years and that shit has seen 4 different hardware configurations

>>15849354

Also to be on topic, I just changed my case to a Riotoro 1088 and I switched to a liquid cooler. My temps are really weird. It used to jump from 30-40 back on my intel machine. Now it's bumping to 40-50, sometimes even around 60. This normal for a Ryzen MOBO?

>>15849396

You're not the boss of /v/. Stop second guessing him.

>>15849415

Spamming again, really?

>>15849398

Windows 10 does have some kernel-level self-defragmentation like ext does iirc but it will never be as good as running a dedicated defragger

>>15849407

AIO coolers are not necessarily better than fans and there are many cases it could be worse. A fully custom water loop will always be better than either an AIO or a fan but don't treat AIO water cooling as some magic solution

>>15849408

Second guessing is fine, just do it in the meta threads

>>15849427

>>>/fur/

Go yiff in the designated board

>>15849423

huh, guess I wasted my money then. Still, what's the average temp a CPU should be?

>>15849433

Under load its honestly fine if it goes up to the upper 80s and lower 90s. As long as its not hot enough to thermal throttle. If you think you need headroom then under load should probably be around 75 to 80.

For idle a good temp is no higher than 40 at max

>>15849437

Well I'm using a Ryzen 2700X. my old i5 3660K was around that 30-40 idle range.

You don't need ccleaner or any type of program if your on windows 7. Just run disk cleanup, go to appdata folder and clean stuff there and use built in defrag only on HDDs. If you're autistic enough and want to clean your regedit, back it up and manually delete entries.

>>15849443

When I stress tested it, it was limiting itself to 70

>>15849432

I don't see any innocent bandicoot little sisters there, only icky sparkledogs

>>15849437

I seriously hope you're not defragging your SSD on Windows 7. Windows 7 doesn't have Trim so its probably treating your SSD like an HDD and you're just killing it faster. SSDs don't need to be defragged, they need to be trimmed, its a different principle

>>15849433

>Still, what's the average temp a CPU should be?

Below 70°C at all times under max load is optimal, can stretch to 80°C even past that your CPU life expectancy takes a nosedive.

>>15849456

I should be fine then. although I'm not sure if its related but with my old case/cooler my GPU went about 80c.

>>15849451

Then be the change you want to see in your board. Spamming coco porn is distasteful on a SFW board.

>>15849447

>and want to clean your regedit, back it up and manually delete entries.

I don't know why the registry scares so many people. After you realize everything is just linked to HIKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it become easy as piss to navigate. Use the search function to search for shit that you recently uninstalled to see if it left any junk registry data and hit delete, its not that hard. If you fuck up that's what the built-in DISM and sfc /scannow tools are for

>>15849453

I know better than to defrag an SSD, but thanks for the concern.

>windows 7 doesn't support trim

What? I was under the impression it does if you enable AHCI in the BIOS.

>>15849469

>I'm not sure if its related but with my old case/cooler my GPU went about 80c.

It probably had different airflow properties. Different cases and fan configs can dramatically effect temperature

>>15849487

>I was under the impression it does if you enable AHCI in the BIOS.

Not on the OS side, if anything it probably just makes the SSD firmware aware that the OS wants to defrag it and its the SSD firmware treating it as trim instead. But Windows 7s NTFS itself doesn't support it IIRC

>>15849481

>I keep my PC pretty clean. Save memes from online, maybe edit or make memes myself, use them once, then delete them after using them once. I just don't like keeping a backlog of unused images and videos.

Oh man I'm the opposite, I have a couple offline HDDs filled with memes I've saved over the years going back as far as 2009, it would've been earlier but I never thought of hording data before then. I have tens of GBs of old files by now

>>15849453

>killing it faster

barely a concern with anything recent tbh, ssd capacity will be obsolete and replaced or the controller will die long before wear fucks you over.

>>15849519

True, but for long-term storage SSDs are still shit. I want to get a bunch of M-Discs and a Blu-Ray burner to start saving my shit on. M-Discs will never die and neither will optical media

>>15849527

>True, but for long-term storage SSDs are still shit

I was curious whether keeping an SSD unplugged would kill the content over time, I really should check up on that someday since that's been about 4 month now.

>>15849538

Don't SSDs lose charge over time and the flash cells eventually start losing data? It probably wont happen after just 4 months though. I've had flash drives and SD cards sitting around for longer than that and still hold data fine. On the scale of years though I would never trust it. HDDs can potentially lose magnetic polarity on the platter if left offline for too long as well but probably longer than an SSD can keep its charge

>>15849527

if you write once to an ssd, it stays alive forever compared to a hard drive

>>15849562

SSD cells need to be "refreshed" or they will lose data if left on a shelf for more than 2 years. HDDs don't have a defined shelf-life because it doesn't "lose charge" the same was as flash cells do

>>15849554

>Don't SSDs lose charge over time and the flash cells eventually start losing data? It probably wont happen after just 4 months though. I've had flash drives and SD cards sitting around for longer than that and still hold data fine

As I recall it being explained to me MLC, TLC, and QLC uses much finer details in hte charge level of each cells to determine the content so it's much easier for the data to deteriorate since you need a smaller change for errors to become uncorrectable.

>>15849496

True enough, I just hope that my computer doesn't overheat.

is there a good maintenance utility? i used to use something from piriform, but they've been shit lately and moved away from lightweight software.

>>15849579

>HDDs don't have a defined shelf-life

Yeah they do. The magnetic fields degenerate over time. Especially if stored near things that cause electromagnetic interference.
