Ran out of time before school started. I was unable to get the switch to work like I want it to and ended up returning it. I will mark this thread as solved for now but may open it back up or make a new continuation thread when I get more time.

I'm answering this on my phone, so bear with me. You are correct. The ipconfig I posted is from the desktop while on WiFi, and yes, the ethernet port shows it is not connected, however, there is a physical cable there. I will double check my connection to the switch and to the router. I know...

I've got an issue with connecting my Windows 10 desktop PC to my router via a switch. When I couple the cables that lead to the router and the switch at the network box directly, I get no issues and the connection is stable. However, when I add the switch (a Ubiquiti USW Flex Mini) my desktop...

TLDR, With the list of games below, can I play them at 1440p 144Hz using a 1660 Super? Long story short, I'm postponing purchasing a new GPU until later this year when the new NVIDIA cards are released (hopefully). I have instead decided to upgrade my main monitor to a 1440p 144Hz monitor but...

I plan on purchasing a new M.2 SSD at some point in the future, and I will make a new copy of windows on that. But I did manage to figure out a temporary fix that allows me access back into my install on the SSD I have now: https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-uefi-boot/. I did not manage to do what I...

True, true, shame on me... I guess that is what I get for using multiple drives. You win some, you lose some. I think i will worry about it in the morning, its not that important that I get that system fixed, its not the one I do my schoolwork on. If I get it fixed I will mark this thread as...

Yes, I will try to remember that one. Though I do think that Windows shouldn't do something like that to begin with, unless there was some setting that I was ahem unaware of at that given moment... shame on my past self for not thinking about that.

Oh, well, its 10:30pm for me right now, so I cant really do that... I guess just check back later tomorrow and I should have it up.

If I remember correctly, when I bought the SSD to install Windows on, I had to enable Legacy+UEFI in my BIOS to be able to run it. So should I build a NTFS partition instead of a FAT32, or can I just make it FAT32. I guess that depends on what the drive is formatted as to begin with?

Yeah, noted. But that really sucks, I hate to have to wipe that drive. I guess that was something that was needing to be done anyway, considering the drive was almost full... One last question, do you think it would be a good idea to remove the Barracuda and just install Win10 on the Firecuda...

Ok, so earlier today I removed my 2TB Seagate Barracuda out of my system (it was redundant) and moved it into another system that I wanted to bring back for various reasons. However, it just so happens that the Win10 Boot Manager was installed on that drive and used by my SSD, a Kingston A400...

In addition, or as a substitute, you can also use the latest version of Dragon Center (because you have a MSI board). I have had this issue with my 3600 and was able to clock down my CPU to assist my cooler in cooling. Here is the link to their website...

Passive exhaust, baby. In other words, yes.

So I have been wondering which upgrade I should do first: RAM or CPU Cooling. I have a kit of Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 2400, which is okay, but I need a little upgrade to run everything smoothly. However, my system is purely positive pressure, no exhaust fans here. I think having the AMD Wraith...
