  1. Reversing changes made with FileTypesMan


    I downloaded a program called FileTypesMan from NirSoft. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html
    I used the program to change the .jpg extension's type name from jpegfile to giffile, causing Windows to treat .jpg files like .gif files. This seems to work fine, but I would like to know how to undo the changes.

    Can anyone help me understand this? Thank you.

    :)

  2. FileTypesMan messed up .exe icons

    So I used FileTypesMan to change the icon of .exe files. Turns out, this changes all programs to have that icon, they don't use what they were given. For example, google chrome has the default .exe icon instead of the google chrome icon. What would really
    help me is if I knew how to undo the changes that FileTypesMan did or fix it at all. I am on Windows 10, so please tell me what to do knowing that. Thanks, I really hope I get help.

    Windows File Associations "Types" (FileTypesMan)


    Have you tried simply rt clicking the column header, adding 'File Extension' and sorting by that?

    Noted that for (e.g.) jpg files, by default
    in explorer Type = jpg file
    in filetypesman = jpeg file, JPEG image

    whereas for
    ico and ani files the Description in filetypesman corresponds with that shown in explorer.

    Suggests that shown for some file types is hard coded in Windows?

    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
