I now own six 14-TB Western Digital Red Drives that I use for raw storage. (Non-RAID.) 4 of which are the 5400 RPM version which is the WD140EFFX model and, unfortunately, I have come to find out that 2 are the 7200 RPM "WD Red Plus" model (WD140EFGX). I have slowly acquired these drives over...

Hi! I have several large (10TB+) storage drives I use for work that have text docs, pictures, videos, and audio. I would like to change 3 of these drives in Windows 10 disk management to have a different drive letter so that they display in a certain order when they are displayed in my Windows...

Hi all. I am just curious as to why I only have 2 power management options for my MSI RTX 3060 12GB OC in Nvidia control panel. My previous card (GTX 1650 Super) had power options such Adaptive and maybe one or two more plus the usual "prefer maximum performance" option. Now, I only see...

The Corsair RM750x. I looked through all my cables and it only came with 2 PCIe cables - both daisy chain. (The picture in link says 4 PCIe connectors, but they are kinda being slick and included only 2 daisy-chain cables with 2 connectors each (6+2 pin) = 4 "connectors" total. Kinda strange.)...

Hi everyone. I got my RTX 3060 and replaced my previous graphics cards with it. For power, I used one of those PCIe cables that has multiple connectors (daisy chain cable) but I'm NOT using it to daisy chain the graphics cards - I couldn't if I wanted to, the card only has one 8-pin connection...

Hi! I just replaced my MSI GTX 1650 Super with an MSI RTX 3060 12GB O.C. (link to it here.) The install went great and the card is working fine, but I'm keeping an eye on my idle and load temps with the new card on MSI Afterburner. The card is idling around ~60°C. This is several degrees more...

DDU is something I have yet to try, but I am certainly going to now. There are not many other options left apart from re-building my PC. A quick question about DDU: am I supposed to uninstall the drivers 1st via Nvidia's uninstaller and then run DDU to "scrub" the computer of all Nvidia traces...

It was the ARCTIC Alpine 12 CO. I tried to get an "easy install" fan because I don't really want to take apart my computer to install a backplate on the motherboard. I know those are much better fans, but I'm not an expert in computer hardware, and really dread taking everything out of the...

Wow, does this post show my ignorance… Ok, now I’m running Prime95 again and actively monitoring the temps. They are consistently around 65-70C at max load. Obviously, much more “normal” temps given the workload. I will keep the test running for about an hour and see what happens but anything...

So I have a i7-9700 (not k) that came with a stock intel cooler. I changed the cooler because I wanted to try something new. Turns out, the new cooler I bought was way loader than the stock cooler. So, seeing as how I never had a problem with the stock Intel cooler, I decided to switch back...

No one has any experience with Event ID 14 from nvlddmkm ?

I built this computer about one year ago and no matter what I try, I keep getting occasional (about 1-2 per week) nvlddmkm Event ID 14 errors in Event Viewer. I am almost certain these are related to my occasion 1-2 second screen blackouts. I have also had about 4 total computer freezes over the...

Hi! I have done this and the noise does indeed go away when I push the fan into the CPU slightly. Is this a cause for concern or typical from an Intel stock CPU fan? Breaking down my system to install a new CPU fan is not something I really want to do right now unless I have too.

Hello! I have a intel i7-9700 in my system with a stock fan and I have a peculiar problem. I'm noticing a very low but audible humming noise coming from the stock fan/CPU area after about 5+ hours of uptime of my computer. I am 100% certain that it has something to do with the fan because...

I think I figured it out. Clean re-installing my display drivers fixed the issue. It seems if you move any color adjustments bars on the selected monitor and not even save the changes, the Nvidia settings save the color accuracy mode as 'enhanced' even if no color changes are saved. Must be some...
