I would say yes except that I built my own rig with no network card problems on the same OS

Well the only reason it was a clone was because I had two drives of the exact same size installed when the PC was brand new after I completed the build. I didn’t know which drive was which so I picked one and installed the OS, then found out it was the backup drive that I installed it on instead...

Okay, will try that and see if it helps. Thanks

Sorry I should have been more specific about my fan setup. There are 3 fans total: 1 in the back for the radiator that is plugged into the motherboard case fan port (the cpu pump is plugged into the cpu fan header, running on full all the time) 2 fans on the front that are plugged into the other...

Sounds like a lot of my problems with this build may be caused by the OS not being “cleanly installed”. Is there something about cloning drives that is bad for drivers?

I’m having wireless network card issues with a newly built computer out of spare hand me down parts for my parents. The issue is, every time I put a network card in the PC, it works for about a month, then won’t connect to the network. The motherboard has been swapped various times and the main...

Recently built a PC for my parents out of my spare parts and hand-me-downs from my current rig. The CPU is cooled by a water pump, to get that out of the way. The case fans are my question. I’m using ASUS UEFI fan controller as well as AI Suite 3, but the OS seems to take over fan control when...

I don’t really want a fan hub that bad, I am not a huge fan of intermixing brands in a PC build. Not because of brand loyalty, but because I don’t want to have to run 4 different programs to control my lighting in one, fans in another, water pump in another, PSU in yet another. So for now I will...

I was already thinking about changing the fans over to the mobo headers as a way to solve this, but now that you mention the smart device, I realize that it did really never do anything except follow a linear fan curve just like bios, sometimes not even at all. I’d be gaming and the setting...

But it has always worked perfectly fine. I know the reviews of CAM and some NZXT products are not the best, but I’ve never had a problem with them. I never needed the smart device to be a fancy smart fan adjuster, I just needed a fan hub and it happened to be built in. And it’s nice to be able...

Yeah I’ve never tried using anything other than staggered RAM because that is what the manufacturer recommends, so I don’t know what bad can come of it, but make sure you are using DIMM slot B2* and A2*

Pretty sure I did this exact swap with my build. I know for sure I have a 3600. All I did was take the old one out, drop the new one in, and power it up. May not be the purist way of doing things, but it worked. Also, as others have said, make sure you have external graphics, as the 3600 does...

For the screen tearing, the monitor may be the issue. You also might want to download/check Radeon Settings (program) for the card. For the frame rates, you may be bottlenecking your processor, it is a gen 1 Ryzen after all. Also the speed of your RAM impacts frame rates more than expected. The...

So let me give a backstory and see if anyone can manage to figure out what’s going on with my PC. I started building a PC a couple months ago. Upgraded the processor, the case, the graphics card, the motherboard. All individually at different times. None of the components are the original, but I...

My hard drive recently failed in my toshiba. I just bought a new hard drive but I dont know how to reinstall windows 8.1 back onto the new one. Is there a product code I can use for windows. I dont really want to pay $400 for windows 8 again when it already had it.
