I shouldve been more clear, but my idea is to eventually get a GPU that is compatible with this new CPU and motherboard that I want to install. So something that would work on this ASUS p8z77 vlk, and i-7 CPU. I imagine theres gotta be a GPU out there that would be compatible with those and...

I shouldve mentioned, my current desktop is still on Win 7 so I'm due for an upgrade to Win 10 anyways. So essentially, I'll just need to buy a new copy of Win 10 and apply it like it was a new PC installation? I can look more in to it via google, but what do you mean by full wipe?

I built a mid range PC in 2013. It's been decent, but I found that the CPU I had (AMD 8320) couldnt quite keep up if I played a game and also tried to run OBS or add-ons to the game. So I then bought a used I-7 CPU from a friend as well as the motherboard it was connected to, an asus p8z77-v lk...

Anything that I must absolutely do before taking my old MB and CPU out and putting the new stuff in? I will continue googling but I this place always has some great answers so I wanted to ask here My current CPU is AMD 8350 and MB is M5A19. New CPU is I7 and MB is ASUS P8Z77-VLK edit: also is...

Thanks man

Samsung magician said to plug my new SSD into the port where my old one was. Is this necessary? Initially, I plugged my new SSD where the hard drive was. I got a read/write speed of 500ish. When I plugged SSD into the old SSDs port, it got cut in half. Is it ok if I plug my new SSD into the...

Solution was for sure the one I picked. Thanks to USAF. It was a bad port on motherboard. plugged ssd into different sata port and my write speed is 500 now.

Samsung Evo 500gb. Read speed is 530 write is a whopping 10. Someone mentioned it could be a faulty port or SATA cable. I also need to make sure AHCI is enabled from what ive read. I will try those solutions when I get home tonight. Really hope its not a motherboard issue or a defective ssd...

Im seeing some people say it matters and some say it doesnt. All of them look to be labeled as 6gb. The thing is, SATA ports 1-4 are clumped together, and 5-6 are a couple inches above them. But they are all white and the ports themselves look identical. Im just making sure because I am having...

alright thanks for the replies. Is it ok for me to cancel the data migration even though its at 5%? I will try the magician software to see the performance and I will also try plugging into a different port on the MB. I actually recently changed the port it was plugged into so maybe it is the...

I have a samsung evo 500 gb ssd. im trying to clone my old ssd to this new one. i initially tried macrium at first due to some advice from a moderator here. macrium couldnt find the samsung ssd, so i just said screw it and went with the built in software from samsung to migrate. problem is, its...

Alrighty I went ahead and disconnected the hdd and my SSD booted up no problem. I also created an image of the SSD with windows on it and saved it to my HDD desktop. Curious though, the image is a XML file thats only like 15KB. Why is it not 60GB like my SSD? I also swapped my SSD to where...

Oh I understand now...I will give it a shot, Ill report back in about 20 mins
