Background: Although effective therapies for social phobia exist, many individuals refrain from seeking treatment owing to the embarrassment associated with help-seeking. Internet-based cognitive-behavioural self-help can be an alternative, but adherence is a problem.


Aims: To evaluate a 9-week programme of internet-based therapy designed to increase treatment adherence by the addition of short weekly telephone calls, nine in all, with a total duration of 95 min.


Results: Compared with the control group the treated participants experienced greater reductions on measures of general and social anxiety, avoidance and depression. Adherence to treatment was high, with 93% finishing the complete treatment package. One year later all improvements were maintained.


I need something with bigger / better heat-sink and maybe even possibility to easy add 80 mm or 92 mm Noctua silent fan.


Im asking because in that age, lots of vendors used different cards design, so alternative heat-sink compatibility was issue.


Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.


I did as some work around no top side - 80 mm (anything smaller its noisy), but it hold on only 2 screws and syrface is not flat and sometimes its making noise, because some small movement.. Its better than nothing but its not good. I somewhere some kit to use 80mm fan in case slot.. but there would be space, its not ideal too.


BTW some of these old cards have already burned memory chips, is there some VRAM memory test for Dos, Win98 or WinXP? I have 1 for Windows 7. i mean something like Memtest for VRAM - which will try all memory ranges, not Furmark etc - artifact hunting.


To provide context on this offer, when I rushed to place my FL16 pre-order, I did not realize how powerful the integrated graphics solution would be. I had naively assumed that discrete graphics would be required for anything more than the lightest of use cases, since this was the case for the nearly decade-old machine which I just upgraded from.


However, this assumption was quite inaccurate, as I quickly realized after having time to conduct some research on the matter. Since I do not play games or frequently perform other graphically intensive activities, I determined that the integrated graphics would be perfectly sufficient for my needs (as, indeed, they subsequently turned out to be). Unfortunately, by this point, it was too late. I had placed my order already, and editing it to remove the Graphics Module was not an option.


I decided to create a post asking the community for suggestions on what I could do with the superfluous hardware. As a result of that discussion and some further research, I ultimately opted to sell my Graphics Module to another Framework user (after confirming with Support that such a course of action was permissible).


My Graphics Module is brand new and has never been used. It came pre-installed in the laptop when it was shipped to me, which presumably means that it passed all QC tests at the factory. However, I removed it and swapped in the Expansion Bay Shell before booting the computer for the first time.


I would be happy to install the module in my laptop and run benchmarks or other tests if requested (in either Windows or Linux). However, the performance is likely to be very similar to figures seen in reviews of the FL16, so this endeavor may not be of much practical value.


Finally, for clarity, the interposer for the Graphics Module is of course included in my offer; this allows the module to be installed and used immediately by the buyer, as one would expect.


Framework certainly aims to offer warranty support for second hand sales as this is in line with our company mission. We do not currently transfer the order to a new account but our policy in support is if a customer reaches out having purchased a Framework Laptop from another user, is to verify warranty status with the serial number and we endeavor to offer RMA support where necessary in all supported countries.


The CoD service is only available for domestic shipments, which is why I would strongly prefer to sell to somebody with a Canadian shipping address. As mentioned above, though, if international buyers are interested in this offer and have an alternative plan for handling the transaction, I would be happy to hear it.


Finally, as a general comment, I sincerely appreciate that members of this community will go out of their way to highlight potentially problematic and/or misleading information, ensuring others are not deceived or scammed by it. Even in instances of false positives - as in this case - others who may have had the same misconception will be educated through the ensuing discussion, which also benefits the community.


To ensure that my Graphics Module is operating as expected, I installed it and ran some tests. In summary, the hardware performs exactly according to spec. For more details, please see the report below.


Three synthetic stress tests from the Geeks3D GPUTest utility were run, with the goal being to assess how the hardware functions when loaded through different graphics APIs. A rendering resolution of 1920 by 1080 was used (running in fullscreen mode), and each test was conducted for a 15-minute duration, giving plenty of time for the thermal system to be fully saturated.


The memory clock is much the same. In the first two tests, it is locked at 1.12 GHz when under load, which is exactly in line with the maximum value of 1,124 MHz reported by amdgpu_top. In the final TessMark test, the frequency was reduced to 772 MHz but did not introduce any performance penalty, indicating that this test simply does not need to make as much use of VRAM as the others.


Once again, bear in mind that the tests run here were synthetic stressors; real-world tasks will not load the GPU quite as much or maintain the maximum load for such an extended period. Therefore, one could reasonably expect even better thermal performance during day-to-day use. This is good, since the fans do get quite loud (though not unbearably so) at full speed (this is a subjective statement as I do not have the equipment to properly measure noise levels).


In conclusion, the Graphics Module was confirmed to reach or exceed its rated frequencies under several different synthetic stress tests. Additionally, all temperatures of interest were found to be well within the maximum limits for this product. Ergo, the hardware is functioning perfectly.


For anyone in the future who is looking to sell their Graphics Module (perhaps when the next generation of hardware is released), please feel free to use anything I have written above for reference or as a template, should you find it to be of value.


Hi guys, I was looking for some help on installing a PSU.



I have a HP Pavilion 590-p0027na computer which I am looking to install a gtx 1050ti into. As I have already added an SSD this means increasing the PSU from a 180w to a 300w unit.



HP are out of stock of their larger PSU so I have purchased a Gamemax ATX TFX Series GT-300 as an alternative replacement. I have managed to secure the PSU in the case, however when I have gone to plug everything back in the 4+4 lead (which is the only lead from the PSU the HP sunflower motherboard accepts, broken into two 4 pin connectors) will only fit the right way on one connector.



This is because the square-rounded pin pattern on the two 4pin leads is opposite. So the first lead connects and clips on no problem, but I have to rotate the second lead 90 degrees to line up the square pins, meaning the clip doesn't connect as the two parts of the clip on the lead and the port are on different facings.


I changed the head, made sure the yellow and black wires (they were the same layout and colour on old and new) connected to the same ports on the mobo as the original and absutely nothing happened when I tried to power up.


Someone suggested this may be due to a safety pin on the 24 pin connector which needs to be connected in order for the PSU to power up (he showed me a video of how you can overwrite this with a paperclip). Do you think this may be the problem .if so, any way to do anything about if as I categorically refuse to run my pc with a paperclip stuck in the PSU!! Haha


as i said, many newer HP systems are now using non ATX standard power supplies with diffrent pinouts on the 24 pin connector and the no power on with the replacement ATX unit is either due to this or a miswire of the current atx supply


I believe everything you have said is correct. It I knew the wait would be 8-10 weeks I'd be happy to sit on my thumbs, but HP have advised they do not stock this item. All European providers do not have this part listed (no PSU units are listed for and of the 590-pxxxx models) and email enquires have just returned generic '' we are unable to provide this item's.


Obviously I didn't whack everything in at once turn it on and hope for the best, but the initial reading were so low I decided to plug everything in that is ever connected to my pc . My draw readings are as follows;
