Problem Solved - I installed HWINFO64 and it showed that it appeared all the clocks were working & varying with load. I updated HWMonitor & now it shows everything working correctly. I thought it was working properly before because it showed all the cores & frequencies & temperatures &...

I replaced the CPU & mobo & SpeedStep is not working. Intel i5-14500 ASRock B760M PRO RS/D4 Motherboard G.Skill 16GB DDR4 RAM Samsung M.2 SSD 970 EVO Plus Windows 10 Pro Problem is CPU is stuck at 2600 MHz BIOS > Advanced Mode shows Processor Max Speed: 2600Mhz and Min Speed: 400Mhz. BIOS...

Thank you everyone for all the information. I thought about upgrading my current PC but it literally died a couple days ago. Right in the middle of looking at something it shut down & has no power. The PSU is good & I even tried another one. The PC just does not wake up. No fans or lights. I...

The RAM I ordered is on the QVL list. The 6000MHz DDR5 does appear to be the dominant DDR5 speed on the Newegg site. That provides a lot of choices, however a lot of the modules appear to be different packaging of the same G.Skill RAM. IOW an RBG version of the black Ripjaws. I may not need...

I'm looking at the Newegg web site & they do not list any G.Skill lower than 5200. However other brands are listed. I'm going to get the G.Skill Ripjaws 6000MHz 32GB (2 x 16) kit which has a CAS Latency of 30.

I don’t do anything that needs 32GB RAM therefore. Not trying to be cheap, but I’m not going to overclock the CPU or play games & figured 16GB is enough. But if go with G. Skill it will have to be 32GB. I did look at the QVL list which lists several G. Skill sticks & says the list may not be...

It’s been a 4 years since my last PC build & have a question about RAM speed. I plan on getting a B760M Pro RS mobo with an i5-14500 CPU. The RAM specs state the following: - Dual Channel DDR5 Memory Technology - 4 x DDR5 DIMM Slots - Supports DDR5 non-ECC, un-buffered memory up to 7200+(OC)*...

Thanks everyone for the information. I'm thinking about building a new PC and want to make sure I understand how lanes work & how many are needed.

Thanks - Is there any significant performance difference if an Intel i5-13500 CPU with 8 DMI lanes is used with a B760 mobo which has 4 DMI lanes vs. a Z790 mobo which has 8 DMI lanes? Does that difference in DMI lanes affect gaming, video editing, etc.?

This block diagram of a 1700 socket CPU shows 16 PCIe lanes for the PCIe x16 slot and 4 PCIe lanes for the M.2. It shows the video is not using PCIe lanes but some other connection. https://einfoldtech.com/2023/07/asrock-b760m-pro-rs-review/#specifications IOW the CPU only uses PCIe lanes for...

Thought I had this figured out when I built my last PC but now I have questions. It seems current Intel CPUs have 20 PCIe lanes. For example, for the i5-12400 Intel states 20 PCIe lanes and 8 DMI lanes. Since they’re listed separately I presume the DMI lanes are not part of the 20 PCIe lanes...

I created a folder on the D: drive & named it Atari Arcade and copied all the CD-ROM files to it. The D: drive is my data drive & the program runs from it. The software does not have to be on the main C: drive because the disk will run from the optical drive.

I tried doing things with PowerShell but so far am not having any luck. I don’t think I’m doing it correctly & will have to study this some more. Tempest is the game I want to clear high scores because all of them were 10100 points. I have since beaten that a couple times. If I run as...

Thanks for the information & I'll give it a try. I'd rather not tamper with modifying a hidden or encrypted file but the Clear high score function does not work, at least not on the game I wanted it to. If it's not obvious what to do then I'll just forget it. I never installed the software. As...

I have this Atari Arcade Hits CD ROM https://www.amazon.com/Atari-Arcade-Hits-Volume-1/dp/B000DZC6K4 I wanted to clear the high scores on a game but that option did not work. I searched for where high scores are saved on the HDD and looked in all suggested places such as the Documents folder &...

Thanks for all the comments & suggestions. As pointed out, a negative about the Greenlee is REMOVING a screw that is already tightened in. I'll have to get a set of magnetic screwdrivers.

I’m tired of dropping motherboard screws & need a screwdriver that holds Phillips head screws. I have an old one that uses what might be called jaws or tongs but it frequently drops screws. Has anyone used one like this? I question if the slotted part that hold the screw might get in the way...

I jumped the power pins on the mobo header & the PSU does not turn on. I removed the RAM, SSD, & CPU and the PSU still does not turn on. I tried another PSU but no luck. I saw several used B365M Pro4 mobos on Ebay that were for parts only. A few months ago two of my USB2 ports on the mobo...

I agree it's not the best idea. I figured if the mobo is bad what's there to lose? If RAM or CPU or SSD are removed to protect them, will it boot to BIOS and display its information? That would let me note changes I've made so they could be applied to a replacement mobo.

My PC just stopped working in the middle of the day, as per this thread. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/asrock-mobo-stopped-working.3793377/ Would it be safe to jump pin #16 of the PSU while it is connected to the mobo? That should power up the PSU, but would that damage the mobo since...

The PC was on all day but when I went back to use it, it was dead. It did not respond to power off/on. Nothing. It has a B365M Pro4 mobo with a Samsung M.2 SSD. I checked the Corsair PSU & it works & all voltages are correct. Re-connected the cables & tried to power on by jumping the header...

I understand. But what do you do if the fuser rollers get dirty before they are supposed to be replaced after the specified number of pages? I could take the printer to a Brother service center & have them service the unit, whether that was a replacement or a cleaning of the rollers. But that...

I've looked at the Brother User Guide & could not find anything about cleaning the fuser rollers. Apparently Brother doesn't want people going into the back of the machine to clean them. I do have a Brother service manual I had downloaded long time ago. Using that along with some YouTube videos...

I put a sheet of the preprinted paper through the laser printer. It didn’t seem heavier than regular 20lb paper but had a slightly different feel to it. I fed it through the front opening just to keep it flat. The first half of the page printed OK but then the last part looked like a double...

Everything I’ve read says the heated fuser roller has a hard surface & the pressure roller is rubber. The lower roller on my Brother MFC -L2700DW is sort of brown colored & has a glossy look so I presumed it was the heated roller. And the upper roller looks like gray rubber so I figured it was...

The Q & A for this paper says it’s compatible with most printers. When asked if the heat would affect the colors they replied “since we have not done testing with a laser printer I would not be able to answer that question...

I’d like to use some stationary paper with a decorative colored border but am not sure if it’s safe to use in a laser printer due to the heated drum. IOW is the colored ink heat resistant or will it come off on the drum? I’ve contacted some stationary paper companies & no one has any...

I should add - The first time I got the error message the D: drive did show up in Explorer but as mentioned could not copy to it. But I was able to create a new folder. Disk management at that time did show the D: drive, but it displayed 2 partitions. The normal 931.5GB and to the right was a...

A 500GB 970 Evo plus in the M.2_1 slot for the OS & programs and a 1TB 970 Evo plus in the M.2_2 slot for storage. Bios vers P4.20. Device Manager says the disk drives drivers are up to date. Chipset driver ver:10.1.17968.8131, which is also the latest on the ASRock website. Both drives are...

I have an ASRock B365M Pro4 motherboard with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 NVME for the OS & programs. I installed an EVO Plus 1TB in the M.2_2 slot to use as D: storage drive. Initially it worked & I was able to copy a few files to it from an EHD, but the next day I could not copy to it...

Thanks - I'll check out the Samsung link.

I'm configuring a new ASRock B365M Pro4 mobo with a Samsung M.2 SSD and have a question about drivers & software that are on the included disc and their website. I installed what I thought were the important drivers but have a question on two others, Rapid Storage Technology Driver & Utility...
