Considering it looks like a blob of metal it could be a type of thermal interface compound that gets spread on the cpu before installing a heat sink. Something like cryonaut liquid metal, I dont believe it ever solidifies.

Good tools are expensive and meant to last a lifetime, maybe more. A cheap tap and die set is a blessing for anodized sheet metal like in a computer case. Cheap materials, cheap tools.
Ask the internet isnt always available, or right. Refer to the manufacturer manual whenever possible as a first.
Page 13 of the Manual PDF has the answer in this case.
Tin snips and a metric size tap and die. Youre right that a lot of cases have proprietary or non standard power supply mounts. The only guarantee that I could fit anything, including motherboards, in some cases was to get a template and do it myself.
Please, I don’t accept hugs. I dont want kisses. Please, don’t touch me. There are plenty of other ways to show affection, I can do that, but please, do not touch me, I dont like it.
Thank you for the update! It is a welcome troubleshooting tip with the DirectX problems.
There are several ways you could leak plain dns. WebRTC requests, which I know ipleak checks, port 53 traffic not being sent through the vpn. There should be a config file that you can modify to help send your dns requests the way you want. This is not uncommon of a problem and you should be able to find a relatively easy solution to this quickly.
Pi-Hole/AdGuard works to stop these ads, never even have to see them.
Sorry, you wouldnt and didnt mean to imply that. I was suggesting that port forwarding is a fairly easy task and if one is confident in their ability to do that, than they should be able to complete a PiHole install.
Your drive. Get a new one, like today, get your info off that old drive and replace it.
PiHole runs great on older Raspberry Pi’s(I am still using a pi3). Older models are still very easy to get and a readily available from the approved resellers list.
I felt the same way about youtube, streaming, shopping and general browsing: too many ads. Ruins the content. I set up a pi-hole as an experiment to see if it would do what it said and what others said about it. Manage your expectations here. Pi-hole works well for blocking a lot of static information and ads in your browser and a lot of apps on iOS and Android. It does not block video ads on Youtube or Hulu, it does not block ads for Roku or Firestick or Smart TV apps for example, it just does not work because of the technical limitations of how the PiHole software is designed. Using a regular PC with adblock browser extension installed as well gets rid of 99% of ads including video ads from adcdns. PiHole is incredibly easy to setup and install, the pay off in quality of life is enormous. I cannot recommend it more to someone that has a little networking knowledge base. If you can figure out how to port forward and run a handful of command lines you can complete a pihole setup in an hour.
Ive seen stutters on 6900xt. My fix was to adjust the boost clock from dropping to 500mhz from ~2300mhz or so. Set the low to little less than half at 1125mhz when Im gaming and cleared a bunch of stutters. That seems to have cleared up that specific stutter. I had some memory issues too with a ddr4 system. Ive also noticed stutters when using Bluetooth audio while gaming. Try eliminating as many backgound apps as you can, try one at a time cause they have been known to cause issues too.
$270 for a kettle?!
Newer systems are way more power efficient than those of yester-year. Systems design and engineering, while built on the principles of the past, have very much changed just in the last decade alone. Older mainframe systems are really no better than museum pieces and technological curiosities today.
This is all a really great example of how The Stack works. As the loop recurses it continually adds to the program stack in memory and then plays the next “item” in the stack. There is a specific limit to recursion as well based on this principle.
You are going down a road of headaches here. Do you absolutely have to use this hardware to complete this setup? If not please consider getting a dual-wan load-balancing router. Cisco makes a nice one, tp-link has a fairly cheap version too. You can use the provided routers behind a firewall as better wireless AP nodes.
Its just easier to manage a small mess one than a large mess twice lol. I havent seen anything that would leave me to believe there is a way to put too much tic on a die. Are they really nonconductive though? If you put enough of it in the right places Im sure it would conduct.
No, you dont need to update incrementally. The best method of paste is personal preference, so long as there is paste and you remove all the things that say to remove them before installing. I use the x pattern usually just because Im used to it and I know it works. Youll know youve used too much when it squeezes out the sides, make sure to clean that off with a cotton swab. Good luck and congrats on your new build
