Reformating the file table does hurt the chances of recovery, but that doesn't mean it's a lost cause. I've recovered from drives like that before tho not nearly as successfully as when it's just a raw drive. Worth rolling the dice on $40 for the software if the data is important enough.

Thanks for all the input everyone. wifiburger: Those numbers make a lot of sense. I was seeing the H7 and the stock cooler just not being up to the task, so it's not very surprising. vMax: I agree, the main reason I was hoping to do air cooling was since this system is not for me but for a...

Thanks for the input guys. VMax - I've been looking in to the offset thing. When I use HWinfo I'm getting different Tctl and Tdie temps. Tho in my case only a 10° difference instead of the 20° I've seen quoted with the 1st gen chips. Dorsai - I've only been getting 3.9Ghz on the cooler so far...

Hey all, hoping to get some insight as to if I'm running in to limitations of hardware or there's some user error happening here. While far from my first build, it is my first time playing with a Ryzen so I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much or fouling something up. I've just built up a Ryzen...

Thank you so much for the information Dark. I really appreciate it.

I'm building up a Ryzen 2700x system, and it's my first time dipping my toe in the Ryzen pool. What tools would people recommend for stress testing and stability checking? It's been a couple of years since I've built up a system, and that was only with Intel. My typical testing was prime95...

I'm looking at a possible upgrade to mobo/ram/cpu with the next launch of CPUs, and I thought I'd try and cherry pick the RAM to use. Ideally I'd like to stick with Samsung, but I'm running in to a problem with figuring out who is using Samsung chips (vs Hynix, Micron, etc) in their RAM modules...

So this is a bit of an odd question as most people want to increase their signal strength. Short story: I have a pair of Sennheiser RS 185 RF wireless headphones and a Netgear R7000 router. I'm getting interference between the router and the headphones. Is it possible to reduce the 2.4Ghz wifi...

Hi all, hoping someone can shed some light on things. So this week I had to rerun the Coax (RG59 to RG6) lines in my house. Since there was enough room we ran Cat6 along with it, we decided to run that as well. When hooking up the rooms I went out and got Cat6 keystone jacks for it all from...
