    Why does everything I download or do ask to make changes to my device?


    whenever I download something or try to access a certain file, a window pops up asking if this app would like to make changes to my device. When I try putting in my password/fingerprint, a message pops up saying "The requested operation requires elevation". Further, my account stopped being an administrator and I don't know how to change it back. This is annoying because I have tried many times to fix both problems myself, but to access everything it asks me if it would like to make changes to my device or that I need to be an administrator to make changes. I would very much appreciate if some

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Why does everything I download or do ask to make changes to my device? :p

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
