asrock nova, i was on the third iteration of bios versions initially

Hey I bought the 9800X3D on launch day at microcenter and installed it same day, been using every day since and I've never had a problem. I see those reports about the chip dying with asrock boards, but honestly i never had problems so i was skeptical about updating my BIOS. But some one told me...

the psu is brand new. this is a hodgepodge of my old pc where i bought new parts to make up a backup pc, the psu i bought 1 month ago for it. i have not tried clearing the cmos or tried installing in a different pcie slot, will try both of these. and yes i did turn csm back on after enabling...

Hey, so I updated my BIOS to the latest BIOS version 4.21 Beta which specifically says "Adds support for C.A.M. (Clever Access Memory)" I googled how to enable it because it wasn't immediately obvious, but I got it enabled but I still can't boot. It posts, then goes to a blank black screen with...

I'm using a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB. I've been thinking about upgrading to that new 4TB Samsung 990 tho, i'll give it a try.

So then I was thinking I should just transfer all the files on to a backup disc. Format the disc. Do a fresh install of windows 10 and then put all the files back on. And install the drivers for the desktop. That should work?

Is it possible to essentially do a boot drive transplant? say I were to take the boot drive with windows 10 physically out of my custom Dell workstation laptop and put it into a Dell desktop would it boot?

Upgrading from 9900k to 12700k for pcie 4.0 also getting discount from micro center and selling 9900k on eBay so it should be a free upgrade

Weak

but i paid $100 for 512gb... i could have gotten 1tb of something cheaper and had the same speed :|

Ah damn. So I need Gen 4?

I just bought a Kingston KC3000 and its supposedly the fastest NVMe m.2 ssd there is but when I run crystaldisk it shows a read of 3500 and a write of 3500 which is just slightly better than my Samsung 970 EVO.... I have seen screenshots online of the KC3000 hitting 7000MB/s online, how come...

I'm using an asrock z370 extreme4 to overclock my 9900k and was looking to overclock. Any suggestions that are bang for the buck? Also what benefits will I get from going from z370 to z390? Thanks!

Well neither my cpu or gpu is at 99%.... my cpu is also around 50-60%
