  • my new gigabyte mobo also has an annoyingly loud constant buzzing sound, extremely slow post and comically buggy bios. a few friends had to rma their gb mobos because DOA, loose ram slots, instability etc… also my gpu is gigabyte 3060ti and it has a lot of problems too, nvidia is mostly to blame but i think it’s gigabytes fault that the fans minimum speed is very loud, around 1200 rpm. the fans are normally off but the temps climb to around 60c even when idle, then fans go WROOOOOOM for a few mins and then turn off. my new case has air intake at the bottom, 2x 140 mm fans blowing right into the gpu but still the damn gpu fans sometimes turn on even when just watching a video. and it’s not because of dust, the heatsink is perfectly clean.



  • a few years back i was pirating some movie after a bottle of captain morgan. i remember not being able to play the movie and suddenly the file was gone so i downloaded it again, same thing. the next day i noticed the whole system running a little sluggish and some things just wouldn’t work. then i noticed that i had several notifications from windows defender, it had blocked the movie. checked the torrent again and it was a damn .exe… i ran malwarebytes and it found nothing. i didn’t bother reinstalling because it felt normal after a reboot, but it bothered me for the next two years until i hopped into team penquin. just do a clean reinstall, and you can forget about it.
