I should've probably posted the enclosure I'm using - https://eu.ugreen.com/collections/hard-drive-enclosures/products/weekly-sale-product-m2-gehause1 It is actually pretty neat, all metal and does include a thermal pad that most definitely proves enough contact between the SSD and the...

Recently after an upgrade to one of my PCs, I ended up with a leftover Samsung 980 (non-Pro) M.2 SSD, so now I'm thinking about what to do with it. My two options are: 1) Put it in my primary desktop PC as a 3rd drive, however that will be a Gen4x2 slot on my ASRock B650 PG Lightning...

Oh, I should've probably mentioned it - the PC did come with a single 16GB stick that runs at 2666 and it does show as such if I remove the other one, I just happen to have a spare 16GB stick from an old PC, just a slower one. Dual-channel at a slower clock speed is still better than...

Seems to be running stable on 2400 with the 2 sticks and after reading a bunch more on this, I think I'll just keep it as it is, 3200 seems too risky for the price and another 2666 won't matter much, waiting for a huge stick dump on the used market and then picking something up for next to...

Don't all RAM kits have JEDEC profiles on them? I was under the impression that all kits have all JEDEC profiles available up to their rated speed.

According to Task Manager, both modules are running at 2400 right now, which is what I expected but the iGPU performance is exactly what I was interesting in benefitting. The iGPU itself is pretty good for what I'm doing with this PC as it is, but if it can be better for a low price, I wouldn't...

There are no RAM-related settings at all, that's why my original question was "would there be any worthwhile difference between 2400 and 2600", those two are the only ones listed in the service manual for the PC and I have already x1 of the 2666 sticks, so buying a second one won't be a huge...

So to make sure I get things correctly - even though the HP service manual for this PC model lists 2666 as the compatible RAM, I should expect a 3200 kit to work at 2933, which would be a worthwhile performance increase? Looking at local listings, I was able to find a 16GB (8x2) kit of @3200...

Interesting, the service manual only listed @2666 RAM, I thought it was locked to that as a maximum (especially seeing how there's no frequency options in the BIOS). Getting a bit confused with the replies there - am I understanding it right that inserting a @3200 RAM will still actually run it...

I recently got a used HP EliteDesk 705 G4, the model with the Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE CPU and while it has 32GB RAM in dual-channel and with dual-rank sticks (2Rx8), I noticed that one of the sticks is a HP-OEM one is @2666 while the other one is a Samsung @2400 one (both are dual-rank). I've been...

Well, this IS intended to be a business/enterprise mini PC as far as I know. The listing in the service manual is as follows (copy-pasted): "WLAN modules Intel 8265 802.11AC 2x2 Wi-Fi +Bluetooth M.2 Combo Card non-VPro Intel 7265 802.11AC 2x2 with Bluetooth M.2 Combo Card (non-vPro) Intel 3168...

Since I already screwed up once, might as well actually ask before doing so again - I recently got one of those HP EliteDesk 705 G4 mini PCs, however it came without a WiFi card installed, so I decided to grab one. Checked the manual, it listed Intel 3168, 7265, 8265 and 9560 as compatible, but...

I just scored a fantastic deal on one of these little guys ($100!), however the exact model I got seems to have a few quirks I would like to sort out and was wondering if someone can give any feedback before I pull the trigger. The model I got comes with the Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE, 16GB DRR4@2666...

The actually critical data is already following the 3-2-1 rule, this is "less critical but I would prefer not to lose it since some of it will be a pain to re-do" type of stuff.

With the upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a big data consolidation I needed to do for a long time and got myself a RAID enclosure, with an upcoming purchase of a couple of HDDs for it, so I thought now is the best time to ask a few questions to make...
