  1. AskDesk Software - What is it?


    Recently, I noticed an icon for AskDesk on my computer task bar. What is AskDesk for and do I need it to run windows or Office 365? I'm concerned it might be a scam as my email was recently hacked. I changed all passwords and took my computer to office depot to run tests to look for viruses, but none was found. I am now being very cautious about anything strange.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    AskDesk Software - What is it?

    Is there a software that can keep your pc clean, fix it etc

    There is no single software application that can perform all of the desired steps.

    There are multiple software that can perform steps but the unexpected can always happen.

    These are some suggested software:

    1) Run the Dell software to update drivers, software, and BIOS
    2) Run the Dell diagnostics to check hardware
    3) Run Ccleaner to clean (modify the boxes to specify what is and is not cleaned)
    Use the software to clean windows and applications.
    Don't use the tool to clean the registry.
    4) Make a backup image in case there are unexpected problems
