Very good advice, I wasn't considering how usage can change lifetime and the difference in lifetimes. So far, it looks to me that 980 Pro is the best option with a longer lifetime.

Hi, this does help a lot as it lets me know im not lost. I do plan on getting a gen 4 motherboard upgrade in the future, however, im not sure when. Do you know of any benefits the specific SSDs have over each other (that may make 970 evo worth in short run) or do you think they are not...

I'm deciding on what 2TB SSD to get for my personal computer aiming to increase drive speeds from my standard hard drives; I have a B450 Tomahawk as my motherboard and its specifications support PCI-E 2/3. From my understanding, using a SSD with Gen 4 PCI-E is still possible but will be...

Hmmm. I use both Adblock Plus and uBlockOrigin and at first, that solution worked for AdblockPlus but maybe it no longer does and the reason I have no isuses is due to uBlockOrigin fixing it and taking over.

That's embarrassing I've been viewing that page for years without realizing you could click the detail button. Thanks!

Unrelated, if I were to purchase a 970 Evo Plus for my motherboard, would it conflict at all with my two current SATA drives? Would I have to remove one or could I just uninstall content off my SATA and reinstall onto the M.2?

In regards to youtube, for both Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, if you go into their filter lists and paste in 1) youtube.com#@##YtKevlarVisibilityIdentifier 2) youtube.com#@##YtSparklesVisibilityIdentifier then it has completely blocked ads + popups about adblockers for me.

I use my desktop for a variety of things including general school work or games. My most demanding games are ARK (both the old version and very demanding new version that came out today), GTA5, COD MW3, Warzone, Tarkov, GTFO. I play a variety of other less demanding games. My most demanding...

I have never used any motherboard programs. I installed Afterburner when I first got my PC years ago but never touched it and it never starts with windows. I have never installed Dragon Center nor MSI Control Center. I believe this is most likely due to the BIOS like you guessed; however, MSI...

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-fans-crazy-after-bios-update.3655891/ I found someone with an identical motherboard who had a very similar problem to me. Does anyone know if reverting the BIOS will revert the fan changes?

I followed Jay and took some liberty on my own throughout the video and tried to quiet the fans by lowering speeds and it does work a bit but when I run heavy games as before I still manage to hear the fans as compared to before where it was deathly silent. The continued sound is likely due to...

TLDR: Fixed an issue with Hardware Reserved Memory and afterwards it made my fans loud and annoying to listen to. Did the fan sound change for a normal reason or did we mess something up? If it's normal, what can I do to lower the sound of them (if possible). I was on my PC after owning it for...
