Yeah, the T700 comes with one of the bigger heat sinks I've ever seen on an M.2 drive. I also keep seeing things that reinforce my conclusion, so I'm nearly 100% certain this is the issue: "A reader pointed out to the editorial team that Crucial has now released the new firmware version...

Looking a little deeper, I downloaded CrystalDiskInfo to test the drive. Immediately upon opening the app, I see that it's in the red at 72 degrees C. And that's WITH the huge factory heat sink on it! According to the internet: "The Crucial T700 Gen 5 SSD encounters heat management issues...

Update: When I tried to run an Extended Device Self-Test in the Crucial Storage Executive app in Windows, I walked away when the test was at about 20%. When I checked on the computer about an hour later, it was in the BIOS and had no boot drive listed. Starting to wonder if the Crucial - T700...

This is the weirdest issue I've ever experienced, and I've been building and troubleshooting my own PCs for like 20 years. Last night I was running an AVG Free Deep Scan. When I got to about 30%, my computer blue screened and restarted. Upon restarting, I got the following error message: "Your...

Hey, guys. I have the Core P3 case, which I love, and I'm using the extender bracket and cable for my GPU, because it's too long and would overlap with the radiator and fan otherwise. The problem is that, as you can see in the stock pic I attached, the bracket seems to invalidate every other...

Hey all! I have a pair of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 for my desktop right now, and in an effort to both declutter the wires and upgrade the sound quality, the Audioengine A5+ Wireless speakers have caught my eye. Does anyone know how these two compare in quality? I know the price range is quite...

Hey guys! I currently have two Samsung 960 Pros in my machine. One is 500GB and has the OS (though it keeps coming close to filling up). The other is a 1TB for storage, which is only about half full. It's been somewhat obnoxious always having to keep an eye on the OS drive whenever I install...

I have two different AC/DC Adapters from two similar monitors. The black one is the one that came with the monitor I'm trying to power. The grey one is from a different monitor. Will the grey one work fine with the monitor in question? Thanks a ton in advance!

I'm playing the game on a 3840x2160 display. I have Fallout 4 set to run in windowed mode at 2560x1440 (16:9). However, when I run the game it takes up the entire screen. When I run it at 1920x1080 it take up roughly (or maybe exactly) the amount 2560x1440 would take up. Any idea why this is...

Not sure if I simply have a setting misconfigured or what. I recently set up a new Archer C9 router to my Comcast modem and while my speeds are normally great, whenever I attempt to upload a file to something like YouTube, the Internet becomes completely unresponsive and the blue Internet icon...

This isn't cached info though. The info is dynamic and loads when the computer wakes up. I've even seen some networks disappear and others appear. The drives are up to date from the TP LINK website.

Been having a computer issue for a bit. I have a PCIe network card and two PCIe graphics cards. The network card is a TP-LINK, model TL-WDN4800 in the PCIe x1 slot. The graphics cards are Radeon HD 7870s. When the computer wakes up or comes back from standby, often times my internet is down...

They do not have displayports. I'm simply asking if anyone knows if this card can support two dual link connections from experience. They are Korean and only have Dual Link DVI

Does anyone have this card that can confirm? I want to pick one up and use it in a Crossfire setup to run two 2560x1440 monitors, but they both need a Dual Link input. The specs say that one is Dual Link and one is Single Link, but both ports look Dual Link (one simply looks like DVI-D and one...
