    Question Most reliable micro sd card

    I need it for some files that I want to have a backup copy of that I may not necessarily need to access it until many years later. Really just a backup copy. Would cloud storage be the better solution?

    Question Most reliable micro sd card

    Anyone have any suggestions for a micro sd card manufacturer that is rated most reliable? Want to store data on this card to last many many years (10 years?) without it turning corrupt or worry that it won't work after a period of time. Speed and maximum capacity is not important at all, any...

    [SOLVED] DIMM Slots 1&2 not allowing system to boot when Ram is installed

    Hi, I have been recommended by others to try out memtest86 its a bootable USB program that will test your ram for errors without needing windows. Are your ram kits both rated at 1600?

    [SOLVED] Same RAM can't configure XMP on Asus Z170-AR

    Question PCI-E wifi doesn't work?

    I had the exact same issue as you with a similar tplink wifi pcie card. Absolutely nothing worked, I even reset windows. I used a cheap external usb wifi adaptor that worked better than it did. I gave up and replaced it with the asus pce-ac88 and everything went without a hiccup. I tend to stay...

    [SOLVED] Same RAM can't configure XMP on Asus Z170-AR

    As I suspected, thanks for that i'm not very handy with tinkering. Checked with cpuZ apparently both sticks are made by different manufacturers. Is there any harm with running them like this in 2133? The timing figures are slightly off between them too by default according to CPUZ
