    [SOLVED] Upgrade to 30 series or wait for 40 series?

    Hello! I need some advice. I just got an email for my turn in the EVGA queue for a 3080ti. I'll be upgrading from a 2080ti. I currently play at 4K and try to hit 60fps in the games I play (need to adjust the settings lower to achieve it tho). Is it worth getting a 3080ti now with the 40 series...

    [SOLVED] Should I upgrade monitor or video card?

    If I did go with the 3090 I would put the 2080ti in my GFs PC which has the 1080ti in it. The 2080ti would be a nice upgrade for her.

    [SOLVED] Should I upgrade monitor or video card?

    Right now I'm using a 9900K with 2080ti and a 1440p 144hz monitor. I was looking at getting either a 3090 or the ROG SWIFT PG32UQX. If I went with the PG32UQX and used the 2080ti would I be able to get 60 fps in cyberpunk with high settings, hdr on, and RTX on at 4k? Right now I have RTX and...

    [SOLVED] Hopefully, this is the right spot for these questions. The positioning of AIOs in my case.

    I have the lian li o11 dynamic xl case and a z390 dark which is an EATX MB. I currently have a Kraken x73 360 AIO and it's mounted on the top of the case and a 2080ti FTW 3 Hybrid with a 120 AIO on the rear. I'm looking at getting a 3080 FTW 3 Hybrid but it's a 280 AIO. On the side of the case...

    [SOLVED] A few questions about compatibility with my motherboard

    I got an EVGA Dark z390 mobo and it only has two 2.0 USB headers. One of the headers will be going to my CPU AIO and the other one would be going to the iCUE Commander PRO that has 6 iCUE QL120 RGB. With the extra two 2.0 USB headers, could I connect one of the iCUE Lighting Node Core to one of...

    [SOLVED] My PC shows my SSD as ejectable storage.

    It has the latest BIOS and the chipset. I'm running Windows 10. How do I check to see if I have the latest firmware for the 860? Edit: Just figured out how to update firmware and after it is still there.

    [SOLVED] My PC shows my SSD as ejectable storage.

    I found a spot that said SATA config and something about hotplug. I disabled them all and it still shows.

    [SOLVED] My PC shows my SSD as ejectable storage.

    Yes, it is connected via SATA and where would I find the option for "hotswap" in the bios?

    [SOLVED] My PC shows my SSD as ejectable storage.

    I got a z390 EVGA Dark mobo and an 860 EVO 4tb SSD. On EVGA website I can't find an AHCI/SATA driver to try and update to see if that will help. Any ideas?

    Question Will my old monitor cap hz on my main monitor?

    I wouldn't use the second monitor to play videos or video games. Just to have streamlabs obs on that would have stats and twitch chat is all. I'll be hooking it up tonight then and giving it a shot. Thanks for your input @extreme_noob

    [SOLVED] Help with bios and red LEDs on mobo.

    Thank you, I didn't see that part. So it was 3 and 4 so it is the memory DIMM 1 and 2 status and red means they failed to post. So hitting the CMOS button fixed it. What should I do in the future if it happens again?

    [SOLVED] Help with bios and red LEDs on mobo.

    I looked over the pdf manual and didn't find anything about the red LEDs and I didn't pay attention to see if there were any codes on the display.

When I built it I never updated the bios to the most recent version but everything runs fine and had no issues. Last night I turned off my PC and went to bed and this morning I turned it on...
