I douple-checked here on Tom's Hardware quite awhile back and was given a list of supported CPUs by one of the members. I verified that against the list I found here. If you have any conflicting info, or can suggest a different CPU, please pass it along to me. Thank you. I will use the...

As often as I've done this on a desktop CPU, I've never done it on a laptop. I've got an old Thinkpad Ivy Bridge laptop I'd like to upgrade the CPU on (from i3-2120M to i7-3612QM). Then donate it. It's in like new condition having had little use. Seems a shame to just scrap it. Anyway...

I've got a suspicion that all the RX 5xxx drivers are the same universal file. During running of the exe file the installation pgm. sorts out what card it's providing for. And that probably applies for each generation of cards both AMD and Nvidia. No?

Thank you all. Good advice.

I don't find the RX 5600 OEM listed on AMD's driver search page. What should driver I choose to download?

Wow. Didn't know that. Thanks for the insight. Yes, I have access to USB 3.0. And in one case USB 3.2 gen 2.

I'm needing to replace my old usb 2.0 optical drive. Will there be any speed improvement if I go to a usb 3.0 drive this time, or is the old optical drive tech too slow to see any improvement? (Mainly used for data, not video or music.)

I'm smarter every time I leave here. Thanks to all.

Thank you for the added info. Some of those points I hadn't considered. If the Fractal Design unit has USB 3.0, why are all the ports black? Yes, the ones in my link are also all black, but they re designated 2.0 and 3.0 printed below.

Thank you as well. I'll keep that in mind as a 2nd choice.

You did it again Lutfij. I will be getting that. Wait! Are there any USB 3.0 ports? They all look like USB 2.0. The one in my link was half/half.

I spotted this item online, but can not find any location to buy it. Not even really a brand name for it. Can anyone help me find it? Or something similar? It's exactly what I need.

Thank you, and yeah, not worth it. Also correct about the board's lack of RGB header. I was going from what I remembered, but my memory was faulty. :(

The board only has a RGB header, but the case comes with one A-RGB fan that I'd like to use. Short of just leaving the A-RGB cable disconnected, is there any way I can use the fan and have it lit?

As to your best answer reply, I don't seem to have that side bar shown in your example.
