Want to upgrade to W11, but Bios doesn't have fTPM

StenCL — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 21:37:02 +0800

Hi all, sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

So, as title said.

I want to upgrade my first and still using 3 or 4 years old custom build PC which is still in Window 10 to Window 11.
My Company's laptop is using Window 11.

But when I used the PC health check thing, it said my PC doesn't have TPM installed.
Went to BIOS, there's nothing about fTPM that I can toggle.

I think the problem is either because of one of these two.

Reading back on my motherboard manual, apprently there's a slot for TPM, but when I looked at my motherboard, the TPM slot is empty.

Another thing is, I have not update my BIOS AT ALL since I build my PC because I'm just too scared to tinker with BIOS.

So, what I want to know is, the reason for my motherboard to not have fTPM is it because:

a) My motherboard did not come with the TPM module when I bought it, so need to buy a TPM module separately?

b) I did not update my BIOS? If I update the BIOS to the latest version, will it have fTPM then?

c) There's another reason for it that I do not know of... please advice.

Motherboard I am using is Gigabyte Aorus x570 Pro Wifi.

Please help and thank you in advance.

Audio Delay for a few seconds

StenCL — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 09:00:49 +0800

Hello, kind helpers,

I'm having a problem with my computer's audio because it's always took a few seconds to start giving out sounds.

The sound would delay a few seconds if there's no music/sound playing in some time.

But would work well if I play video sound like back to back without pausing.

I meant it's like the audio went idle or sleep if there's no activities that giving out sounds in some time.

I tried a solution which I found in Youtube that give this solution where I need to change the values in regedit to these,

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Audi.../6631359/page/2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

ConservationIdleTime = ff ff ff ff
IdlePowerState = 00 00 00 00
PerformanceIdleTime = ff ff ff ff

BUT every time I rebooted by computer after doing the above solution, the values always resetting to these,

ConservationIdleTime = 00 00 00 00
IdlePowerState = 00 00 00 00
PerformanceIdleTime = 00 00 00 00

EDIT

I'm using a desktop which I assembled myself and its been 3 months. And Edifier G2000 for speaker.

Initially I don't really mind with the audio delay much, because using it for works stuff most of the time.

But after installing a game recently, and the Audio Delay happens every time there's a cut scenes, annoys me alot now.

If anyone knows any solution or any advices please help.

Thank you in advance.

Speaker Works but PC Volume Slider Not Working

StenCL — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 12:34:13 +0800

Hello Everyone and good day, sorry to bother.

I have a freshly built PC (Windows 10 not activated) and Edifier G2000 gaming speaker.

The Speaker works well with sound coming out of it and I'm able to control the Speaker volume with its own slider (Physical) at the side of the speaker.

But the PC's own Volume slider aren't able to control the speaker volume (up/down).

Except only when I put the PC volume slider to 0, then and only then the speaker go silent.

I try look for any solution in the internet but I don't have any luck.

Is it because I have yet to activated my Windows 10?

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

[WTA] Help with Fan Connect to Mobo

StenCL — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 19:30:04 +0800

Hello and good day all, sorry to bother.

Not sure if this sub is the correct place to ask but here goes.

I need an advice.

I have 2 original (Fractal Design Meshify C) Fans for output and bought another 2 (Noctua NF-A14 PWM) Fans for input.

I was thinking about making the two smaller fans at the top and back while the two larger one at the front.

The motherboard I'm using is (Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO WIFI), it came with 3 Fan header (SYS_FAN1/2/4) which is for Fans. No 3 I see.

Now the question is which header should I connect to for my 4th Fan?

-Can I connect to the (SYS_FAN5_PUMP)? Which sound like its for Water Cooling System. Not sure if it will work as well.

OR

-Connect to the (CPU_OPT)? Which I read it dependent on the temperature of the CPU, then the Fan will speed up/down.

Since this is my first time ever build, I hope you guys have mercy on me.

And thanks in advance.
