    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

  3. Random pictures and Unknown Users

    Hi everyone,

    I've had a look around this and other forums for an answer to this question, but being a very non-tech savvy individual, I haven't really been able to find an answer that both 1) I understand 2) applies specifically to my situation. Basically I was using
    file explorer earlier and searched My PC for all jpg files on my computer and I was alarmed to see a whole bunch of pictures that were clearly not downloaded by me. Nothing scandalous or anything, but clearly nothing I would have downloaded. I went through
    and right clicked on the pictures and went to properties, and looked under 'security,' and while some of the unknown pictures just had the normal cluster of 'system,' myself, and administrator in the Groups or Username Box, some of the other unknown pictures
    said, ominously, "Unknown User S-1-15-2....."

    Have I been hacked? It seems really odd that some stranger would go uploading random images to my computer. A few additional details:

    The unknown photos that did not have the 'Unknown Account' listed under security all seemed to be generated in the past few days, without my knowledge, and those that did list the unknown account in the security tab all began with the word 'apps' followed
    by a dot and a seemingly infinite string of numbers. I did recently update my operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 10, so I'm wondering if that could have something to do with it? I believe I read somewhere that the Unknown User issue can be caused by
    changing versions of Windows, but that still doesn't seem to explain the other random photos on my computer...

    Any advice would be appreciated, as I'm starting to get a bit paranoid about this.

    Thanks!
