Hey all,

This is my build that I built in summer 2024

CPU: 14900k
GPU: MSI RTX 4080 super slim
Mother board: Asus ROG strix z790a gaming WiFi II
Cooling: Artic liquid freezer 3 360 AIO
CASE: Antec C8
Fans: Lian li uni sl infinity fans
I have 3 intake fans from the side and 3 intake at the bottom.
I have one rear outlet fan
And AIO mounted at the top and it also has 3 Lian li fans that I changed out. Pushing air out.

I have 2 questions:

I never updated my BIOS since I built my PC for the new intel code for the Vmin shift issue. I never had any crashes or freezes or anything in any games. I played COD BF6, msfs24 forza horizon 5 and 6.

Only crashes I had where in farming sim 25 but I’m 100% sure it was because of some mods. Because if I loaded any other saved games It never crashed. Only crashed when I load that specific saved game.
I did stress test and everything. I updated my BIOS a week ago.

Is my CPU cooked? Is there away to know if there’s any permanent damage or anything ?

My second question is. After I updated my BIOS now when I play BF6 my CPU temp seems to be higher than previously. Previously it used to be between 70-80C now it goes to 90C sometimes 95 my cpu usage on the game remain around 30-40%. BIOS has intel default restriction thing on.

My Idel temp are now also a bit higher. Went from 25-37 to 35-45.

GPU Temps seem to be about the same.

How do I know what is causing this temp hike ? I never saw my CPU Temps get up to 90C even when stress testing it to the Max.

Hi all, 8 months ago I moved for my job. And I live alone in an apartment. I’ve always lived with my family. I want to get a dog to be my companion and to be watch dog for me as I have hearing loss. I like to go outside for walks all the time and I like being outdoor. But it always feels lonely. I’m thinking about adopting a dog from a shelter. Ages between 6 months to a year old. I’ve seen some Dobermans, rough collies, border collies, Australian shepherd, German shepherds, and Labradors.

I’m allergic to cats and I can’t get one.

My work schedule is what I’m concerned about. A lot of my coworkers have dogs and told me it’s doable.

I work 3 weeks of the month, all my shifts are 12 hours.
Week 1- night shifts. 4 night shifts 6pm -6am and then 3 days off.

Week2- my longest week. 3 days 6am -6pm and then a day off then 3 days 6pm -6am

Week 3- 4 days 6am -6pm

Then I get an entire week off, and this week the dog would go with me to my house with the family and spend it there and then come back.

I would walk the dog before I go to work so it can use the loo. And I could go during my lunch break because my apartment is 5 mins away to take them out. And long walk after work on day shifts and long walk before work on night shift.

I would kennel train them, I’ll keep them with their kennel open and have it in a play area for them to stay in.

So my first question is… is it doable?

Second question what dog breed should I get ? I would like one that would like to go outdoors with me for long walks and jogs.

Third question, should I get one that’s been in the shelter or foster home? I’ve seen some in foster homes that are potty trained and house broken. Not sure about the ones in the shelters.

Lastly, is 6 months to a year a good age ?

Thank you all!

Edit: I will come by after 6 hours on my lunch break to let them out, work is a 5 minute drive.
