    Question Is this partitioning a problem?

    So that FAT32 isn't even a Seagate thing per se as much as it is Windows? The drive came to me from Seagate with it partitioned like that. FAT32 and exFAT

    Question Is this partitioning a problem?

    I thought about that but wasn't sure if I should be tampering with what appears to be a special partition for the drive? I have no idea what's in there but I was afraid if I wiped it, it would cause issues

    Question Is this partitioning a problem?

    Question How to Fix Broken Windows Dual Boot After Cloning Drive?

    I think the main issue is that I didn't clone my partitions identically. I was following some random advise I saw where you clone one partition at a time and then check back. I suppose the bootloader got confused by that since the volumes didn't align properly? I redid the cloning and cloned all...

    Question How to Fix Broken Windows Dual Boot After Cloning Drive?

    Hi all, I got a 4TB SSD and wanted to migrate my 1TB OS SSD to it. I used Macrium reflect and cloned the partitions. I have two different Windows 10 partitions.

    Question CPU Air Cooler in a Dual Chamber Case?

    I see. And yeah so what I found is that yes, you can rotate the side fans to front (and use the mesh panel). Then also have two additional side intake fans. So 4 intake fans. And then 1 outtake at the back and another outtake at the top back? Or I can try two side intakes, two top front...

    Question CPU Air Cooler in a Dual Chamber Case?

    So I have looked at the case as I have it here and it looks like you can have front intake, and side intake as well. Would that work for good airflow? So essentially, I'd have 2 intake side, and 2 intake front. What do you think about that? It doesn't look like I can attach on bottom intake...

    Question CPU Air Cooler in a Dual Chamber Case?

    So hot air rises up and thats why top is typically used for exhaust? I have 4HDDs and 2 sata SSDs. I need two of the bottom fan slots which removes the possibilit of having fans at the bottom. Unless I can mount fans on the last open slot on the HDD bracket (not sure I can). So what that leaves...
