    Question Older MSI Motherboard seeing 4GB RAM Sticks as 2GB sticks

    Hey everyone bit of an update. So I’m confused as can be. When I google the model on the RAM I see that this kit was for two 2GB sticks of RAM. But I swear when this was in the motherboard that died they read as 4GB sticks. I almost feel like I’m gaslighting myself. I had a friend who had an...

    Question Older MSI Motherboard seeing 4GB RAM Sticks as 2GB sticks

    Hey everyone, got a weird one that is confusing me as I have never seen it before. I am helping slap together a cheap PC for a friend from parts we had knocking around and am running into a weird problem. The motherboard is an MSI H77MA-G43. I know she is old. So anyway I have 4 4GB sticks of...

    Question Is there a guide for testing modem/router?

    Hey everyone, I’ve been having some pretty bad and consistent network issues where I will drop connection to the internet entirely regardless if my devices are on Wi-Fi or wired. I’ve had my ISP come out within the last 6 months and they tested from our line into the home and all was good. I...

    Question TPM 2.0 issues on MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi ?

    Hey everyone, I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I can't get Valorant to work as it is telling me I need to enable TPM 2.0. In my BIOS I have Ftpm enabled and when I disable that and actually select TPM 2.0, Windows can not see it and it is becoming quite annoying for a number of reasons...

    Question Valorant VAN9001 error fresh windows 11 install

    The Vanguard has to launch with the start up of the PC so if you try to restart or run it as admin it tells you to restart... This anti-cheat software is very invasive and seems excessive. Appreciate the input btw!

    Question Valorant VAN9001 error fresh windows 11 install

    Hey everyone, I just upgraded my pc and figured I’d make the jump to windows 11 while I was at it. Been trying to launch valorant and vanguard keep saying it requires TPM2.0 to function. From what I can see on my MSI motherboard both TPM 2.0 and secureboot are on so I’m at a loss. Anti cheat...

    Question 7700x with 4090 triple monitor performance?

    It 3 monitors but yeah they are 1080p. I suppose the extra pixels he has to push horizontally doesn’t matter even tho it’s more then 4k. He bought it away he is going to get a tv for more casual gaming as well. Thanks for everyone’s input

    Question 7700x with 4090 triple monitor performance?

    Sorry if I wasn’t clear. From what I have seen benchmark wise is the 4090 will bottleneck pretty much ever cpu at 1080p. Also from what I have seen usage shifts more towards the GPU at higher resolutions thus the cpu becomes less of a bottle neck right? My question is will that principle...

    Question 7700x with 4090 triple monitor performance?

    Hey everyone, trying to figure out a hypothetical here before helping my friend commit to a new GPU. He just upgraded from a 17 3700k to a 7700x. He was forced into getting a new GPU about 4 years ago when his last one died and currently has a 2080 paired with the new 7700x. He wants to go...

    Question Phanteks Eclipse G500A Basement (Radiator Gap) Cover?

    Think the best solution we found is going to be getting a custom magnet and placing it over the hole. CVS prints magnets cheap

    Question Phanteks Eclipse G500A Basement (Radiator Gap) Cover?

    The Fans sit inside the grill in the front to give more room in the case. The Rad is getting mounted on the top. That being said the there is a cut out on the bottom of the PSU shroud to account for a front mounted radiator and you can see the wires for the PSU (black of course) through that...
