  1. My SSD is showing that it has a higher memory that what it should be.


    I have a 256gb SSD. I was doing a clean install of windows and i think i formatted incorrectly or maybe deleted a partition because now that said 256gb SSD is saying its 900gb. Why?I tried to format and tried deleting partitions to no avail. In the end i installed windows on my other SSD but this still doesnt help fix my issue. Still my 256gb SSD is showing a false value for memory space.can i get some help?

    :)

    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

    True core and memory clock on my GFX...what should I trust?

    i have the list of nvidia core and shader steppings if you like, it shows the requested clockspeed versus the effective clockspeed.

    My SSD is showing that it has a higher memory that what it should be.

    SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

    Hi Ash,

    There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

    • On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
      and then select OK.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
