    Can I use my old 240gb ssd as a caching drive for my steam/storage drive (X370, ryzen 1600)?

    Earlier this year I bought a Samsung 500gb 960 Evo to replace my old 240gb pny ssd. Then I saw Linus's Intel Optane memory video, then the one for a 12tb storage drive, then the one for Ryzen (which is my platform) and he talked about Primocache which seemed to be the best solution for what to...

    GTX 1080 won't give me the option of 1440p at 60fps

    While I can run 1080p and 4k at 60fps for some reason the other resolutions won't give me the option to go any higher than 30fps. I have tried super resolution on the nivida settings but didn't fix it and I used a RX 480 and the issue wasn't there, any ideas?

    Ryzen 1600 locked at 1.37ghz

    My computer is pretty much running at 35% normal performance, this thing has a Gtx 1080 and the cpu is overclocked to 3.8ghz and I'm getting as low as 30fps on 1080p! I feel like this has something to do with Windows new fall creator update as I noticed this problem after getting it but not sure.

    Can't do 2k at 60fps but 4k at 60fps

    My GTX 1080 can do 1080p60fps and 4k60fps, but 1440p can only go up to 30fps? Does anyone know why? I haven't overclocked or done anything to it really except for driver updates. I have tried uping the DSR-Factor to 4x native resolution, but that only gives me the option of doing 8k. Please help

    500 GB Western digital SSD vs 240 GB PNY SSD in a laptop

    Correct, bare in mind I do not currently have a m.2 drive. If I continue with the original plan, the m.2 would be the first new drive i would buy. With this bigger ssd in my desktop it would reduce the need to buy a second ssd to run in raid 0, unless i buy the m.2 equivalent of the western...

    500 GB Western digital SSD vs 240 GB PNY SSD in a laptop

    So i had to clean out my laptop's storage drive and reinstall windows onto it, which showed at the end to be 40gb of a 500gb drive.

    Thermaltakes Floe AIO vs NXZT Phantom 410

    So i can understand why the 360 and the 280mm verisons of this cooler can't fit inside my Phantom 410 case. But can someone explain to me why the 240mm verison can't when the Thermaltake water 3.0 aio can. From when I can tell the floe's block being is 240x120x27 compared to the water 3.0 being...
