    Question Xbox storage ?

    Thank you for the link. After asking the creator of the video It's apparent I can't do this with a retail xbox 360e. I think it'll be easier to just buy a second hand official 360 hard drive from cex. Thank you

    [SOLVED] Do i need to repaste my GPU ?

    Ive already done it, i used a little bit cpu thermal paste i left over from a build i did. Dropped my gpu thermals by at least 5-6 degrees. Well worth doing as before it would sit around 78-82 when playing and drop clocks speeds to keep cool. Thanks for your input.

    [SOLVED] 5600x on an b450 motherboard?

    [SOLVED] 3800x on a b450 motherboard

    [SOLVED] 3800x on a b450 motherboard
