GPU Idle temps at 60 degree Celsius ok?
Main Post:
Hey guys, I recently got the MSI 2080ti Gaming X Trio and I notice that the fans are configured so that they don’t run unless the temperatures are over 60. Am I safe to assume that it is safe like this because that’s what MSI configures?
Top Comment:
yes, but you can always change fan curve if you want

15° Knife vs 20° Sharpener - What could go wrong?
Main Post:
I have a knife sharpener that is designed to sharpen knives at 20°. Recently I bought a Victorinox Chef’s Knife that is a 15° knife. Do I need to buy a new knife sharpener? Will using my current sharpener ruin my new knife?
Top Comment:
At the start you'll be grinding a microbevel on your knife and eventually you'll remove enough material that you get a single 20° bevel.
Nothing wrong with a 20° bevel, but if your knife is designed to be strong enough to handle 15°, then that will result in a sharper knife.
I'd add that most cheap sharpening systems will mangle the blade and I'd recommend getting wheatstones and learning to sharpen freehand. At minimum a 1000# grit stone and something to serve as flattener. Extras would be 200-400# grit stone to change angle or fixing nicks and a 3000# medium stone to get a fine edge. If cutting mainly vegetables or non fatty meats you can also get a 6000# grit finishing stone.
is 50 degrees (C) too hot for a CPU?
Main Post:
Hi,
just booted my pc up and it says my cpu is at 50 degrees C. is this too hot or is it ok?
EDIT: I have a 3900x with the Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE cooling it
Top Comment: The CPU temperature in the BIOS is kinda meaningless. The efficiency circuitry that is built into the chip doesn't start working until you're in windows. I also disregard all temperatures on a Ryzen chip that don't come from Ryzen Master .
