Interesting thing just happened. When I got up for work this morning I turned off my pc for the day so I didnt have to later. Then when I got home out of curiousity I turned on my pc and now the nvme is reading again. So either its a fluke or heat issue or some dirty trick is going on. My mobo...

So I just bought the P5 last week and it was working fine up until today. I use it as a secondary drive for games. Yesterday it was working, today I went to load up a game from steam and it said i needed to update the game. So I tried and there was no updates but steam came up with a popup and I...

Looking at a 3800x but I'm also debating on a 3600x. 3700x is more of a if I'm going to buy that might as well do a 3800x with a little bit of a price tag. So to me either if I'm in impulse buy mood or not will depend on the 3600x or 3800x. Also I'm more of a amd person since I never had luck...

Thanks for a reply. I'm definitely doing a new build just it comes down to buying a cpu/mobo/ram or a gpu. The current build still works but I know the 270x is trash so i was thinking of changing that first just to get a boost so I'm not watching lego batman 3 have the screen splitting from poor...

I was wondering how bad a 5700xt will bottleneck a fx8350, 8gb ddr3 ram, am3+ mobo. It's only for a few months as each new part needs funds. Currently using a 270x which is trash for any mediocre game (batman Arkham series). I built the system back when 200s were new so that shows its age. But...

weberdarren97 no I do take my grand ol time though. 3 days for the rebuild 2 for hard tubing. I did forget things along the way which is why I do take my time as well as wire management.

weberdarren97 I just went and reseated the cpu and I still got a no boot with cpu led on. I did that last time and it worked which is why I used the term "fluke". For your second part I always forget where I pulled them from so I refer to the manual. This is why I think it's a goner, can't...

Well considering all I did was take the mobo with cpu and ram still installed from 1 case to the next and nothing with a no boot at one point last year. I will be pulling the cpu and resetting it into place to see if that works. But the initial question was if the mobo is dying since a no boot...

So I recently transferred my pc from one case to another and now I get no boot. I have checked the connections several times pulled all parts and still nothing. Last year I have had a "fluke" where my system did that for a week but it seemed to be fixed when I pulled the cpu and put it back in...

So I've been looking for awhile now and even though my card is "outdated" its still holding up to what I use it for. I've been looking for a waterblock for it and happen to run across the Alphacool NexXxoS GPX - ATI R9 270 M06. Now the dumb question I have is since I haven't ever watercooled a...
