I don't even know what that means so I'll say no Haha. My entire process was: Turn off and unplug pc Connect new SSD to sata port Unplug external hdd Turn computer on Initialize SSD within windows with a quick format and select drive letter E After this I opened the drive and there were the...

Hi, I just unboxed a new Samsung 860 EVO SSD and have assigned it to drive letter E. My external USB3.0 HDD used to come up under that letter however I had it unplugged the entire time during this process. I opened my new SSD and some of the folders that are on my HDD are showing up and I can...

Oh okay that's good. I haven't quite tested how far I can push that voltage down before it becomes unstable either. One thing I noticed was that some people are increasing the bus strap to 1.25 and then one had a multiple of 38 for a total of 4.75GHz (I know I won't be able to reach that with...

Hi! I'm doing my first overclock on my 5960x. System CPU: Intel i7 5960x CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Nepton 280L MB: Asus X99-Pro GPU: GTX 980Ti RAM: Corsair Vengeance (8x8gb) 64gb 2133Mhz (XMP to 2400Mhz atm) So far I've tried 4.2ghz at 1.19v. Running Prime95: Package Max: 77 C Core Max: 54 -...

Hi, I've been trying to copy some files onto an external hard drive, there are lots of small files which I have heard slows the transfer however for long periods of time it will transfer at a rate between 2kb/s and 20 kb/s. This just seems like a bit of an extreme. PC: CPU: Intel i7 5960x...

Unfortunately that's discontinued and can't be bought anymore, thanks for looking though. I ended up buying a 2nd hand Asus X99 Pro from eBay.

Yeah I've updated those drivers. I have done a clean install of windows and the problem persists however I could still try booting Linux when I get a chance. Both write caching and AHCI are set.

Hi, My Samsung 1TB 850 EVO SSD continually drops to 0 bytes/s when copying to and from the drive. I've tested the drive in another computer and it worked fine. I just updated my bios and drivers but no change, I've also tried all the other sata ports. My main boot drive is a 256GB M.2 Samsung...

If it's the only thing I can find then I'm willing to give it another shot, are you able to send a link of what you found? Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking to get a new motherboard (I'm in Australia), my specs are: CPU: 5960x RAM: 8 x 8gb (64gb) Corsair Vengeance (I can't remember the speed, something a bit under 3000MHz maybe) Drives: 1 x 256gb Samsung 960 M.2 and 1 x 1tb Samsung 850 I'm having trouble finding something suitable...

I've already changed the DVD to be first and I've accessed the boot menu and selected it as well. Just thinks for awhile then tells me to insert boot media etc.. the DVD drive is not new, however it is recognised in the bios, but the windows 10 DVD itself was brand new straight into the drive so...

Hi, I'm helping my friend build his PC, we installed all the components today however it gets stuck saying to insert boot media and press a key to continue. I've unplugged everything unessential so we have connected currently: ■ MSI Z370 Gaming Pro carbon motherboard ■ i7 8700k CPU ■ 1 stick...

Just got in touch and they're going to replace it once I give it another format to see if that fixes the issue.. I might also get in contact with Gigabyte and see if they'll replace my motherboard, as I don't like that it's messing with my CPU.. and potentially the drive. This computer has been...

Alrighty, I ran UserBenchmark and have gotten some interesting results.. My 1TB 850 Evo benched: Read: 339 Write: 250 4K Read 26.7 4K Write 2.2 When I looked at what it said was the top result with that drive it was: Read: 515 Write 420 4K Read: 47.6 4K Write: 112 That 4K Write has a massive...

Hey mate, So I thought it happened with my 256gb one as well but I just did some tests and it seems to be working fine, ranging from 250mb/s to 1.5gb/s, averaging probably 700-900mb/s.. So yes, appears to be with just the 1TB SSD. I'll try a benchmark and see how it goes. BIOS is up to date...
