Okay, thank you. Either ways it is a great quality PSU. So, I am fine.

I have bought XPG core reactor 750W. I wanted to know what cybenetics badge it achieves in their testing but when I went there are 2 reports. It seems like one tested in 2019 and one later. How to find out the difference between the units tested? Does XPG revised the second unit with any...

I emptied my 1TB drive and performed the rite test. Yes, I know. I looked for WD40EZRZ, the CMR version at 5+ stores, no stock anywhere here in my country. So, I went for the SMR variant.

Since you asked: Read test Write test

I guess you were right, my 1TB HDD was 87% full. I posted the same question in reddit and a guy answered that the inner lanes are 50% slower. I read through this, understood and tried testing the empty drive, I got the full speeds back! View: https://i.imgur.com/zmg0Ehj.png

Defrag completed windows in-built), I'm still getting half the speeds

123GB free of 931GB chokes the sequential speeds of HDD?

Windows inbuilt defrag enough? Or should I use something like Defraggler?

Sorry for the long post, I want to give as much details as possible! I have 2 HDDs in my PC: Disk 1 - WD10JPVX - 1TB 2.5" 5400rpm internal HDD (been using this in my laptop for 5+ years, now using in my new PC for 5+ months) Disk 2 - ED40EZAZ - 4TB 3.5" 5400rpm internal HDD (bought...

How about WD purples for the said workload?

Where I live, it's hard to get CMR drives, but I want to know if a SMR drive will be okay for game recordings @1080p 60fps OBS recording CRF/CQP set to around 18? The drive I can get is WD 4TB 5400rpm (WD40EZAZ)

The Twin Edge OC model from Zotac on the RTX 3060 had one extra heat pipe than the non-OC model, so the cost increase may be because of hardware changes too. Their 3050 web pages doesn't show any hardware changes though.

I tried clearing CMOS and setting everything to defaults in BIOS. Tried connecting the output to my TV with the HDMI cable that came with TV. I have handled it very carefully and the card didn't brush or drag on any surface. Only thing I didn't try is to clean the PCI-e slot off from any dust...

What is this PCIe setting thing?

Okay, I will try and post here. Still couldn't get the right drivers to install. If I disable the APU from BIOS, there is not output from dGPU (HDMI cable plugged into dGPU). EDIT: No, I'm not using a riser. Motherboard is Gigabyte A320M-S2H
