Well I still don't really know what the issue was. I re-seated my GPU and my RAM and also reset BIOS and I was finally able to get back to it without the beep error. It might have had something to do with the automatic over-clock I started in BIOS, but again - if there was an issue there why...

Hrm. When I click the link it just takes me to the registration page (and yes, I do have a registered Asus account). NVM. Got it to work (the link that is). I'll recheck (for like a third time) to make sure all the fans are plugged in in the right area, but I'm fairly certain everything is...

Hey everyone. I've noticed something off with my computer since I upgraded. So everything works fine, boots up to Windows and everything...except I can't enter BIOS. Every time I try (after tapping delete or F2) I get one long beep followed by two short beeps. The screen stays black until it...

Okay, that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks man.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I was aware of creating backups, but I didn't know if (assuming I was starting fresh) Windows would be looking for some kind of required, missing Windows 7 files or not. I haven't done a fresh install for a few years and had my recovery disk when I did.

Hey guys, so I got to wondering if using just a Windows 10 home edition recovery disk on my computer that I originally installed with Windows 7 home (and took free upgrade) would work if I was trying to do a fresh install. The problem is, I lost my original Windows 7 disk so I got a little...

Thanks for your advice, man. One thing I've noticed though is the difference between the B540 and X570 mobos. I know the 540's are compatible with 3rd gen Ryzens after a bios update, but what about PCIe 4.0 compatibility? Max RAM speeds? Would it be un-necessary to just spend the extra money on...

I'm debating about making a change from my current Intel i5 6600/ DDR4 2133 / GTX 1070 setup to a Ryzen rig. But first, some background: I mainly game and watch videos on my PC. I don't do any video editing, encoding, or anything like that. I also like to game at the highest and smoothest I can...

You've given me a lot to consider, man. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the help.

If I did have another back plate somewhere it's long gone by now lol. 12 bucks isn't bad. Selling is a good idea. I might even know some people in person who might be interested. It's something to think about. As for Ryzen...I was doing some research and it seems that even the 7 series fails in...

Hrm..the Hyper 212 Evo is still compatible? That's what I have. Interesting...

I'm using DDR4 2133

GTX 1070. I mean..I get pretty good performance out of a lot of games, even on ultra settings. Thing is, I've noticed some games tend to be more CPU heavy. I think Division 2 is like that, which is why I get a lot stuttering even at medium-high settings.

Yeah I've noticed used CPU's are a lot cheaper, but I am extremely hesitant about buying a used one. Certain things, like really sensitive electronics, are something I'd really prefer buying new. As for Ryzen....it's something to think about. I'd have to completely re-educate myself with AMD's...

Hey guys. For a while I've been wanting to upgrade my CPU, without having to also buy a new motherboard (stuck with LGA1151 right now). I currently have the i5 6600 and I've noticed it's held me back in some areas with the more demanding games (ie: Division 2). The one I"d REALLY like to have is...
