    [SOLVED] 3070 v 3080 Upgrade question

    That is ideal but I rarely touch 4K as is. Only on select optimized games. I'm just focusing on 1440p for now. And a 3060 Ti over a 3070? Interesting take but if the MSRP was more attractive for the 60 Ti I'd probably take it. Would rather have that extra little boost.

    [SOLVED] Looking for a secondary Drive

    So recently I tried installing a Second NVMe drive to my current rig (WD Blue SN550 1TB) but it was a no go. Wasn't sure if it was DOA or if it just didn't want to cooperate with the already NVME OS that I had in there. I kept getting Error Code "06" on my Debug LED with my ASUS X570 mobo and...

    [SOLVED] New NVMe causing boot error?

    Not that I've tried no. I have considered trying the SN500 on the slot that the SN550 is suppose to go in and see if it boots up then. Gonna have to see tomorrow however
