Strangeness. The Corsair LPXs passed five hours of memtest86. They work well in dual channel on my other board, ie pass memtest 86 and even boot into Windows. On the MSI, after "August 30, 2018—KB4346783 (OS Build 17134.254)" update the Corsairs will no longer work in a pair. Single=ok...

So far I tested an M.2 and a regular sata SSD. I'm running ram at default speed, which is around 22 or 2400 for DDR4. I don't tinker with the bios until I get the OS up and running. Also I updated to the latest bios. I think I'll do the memtest64

I built a new entertainment system with an MSI B4501 and a Ryzen 5 2600. I put in a pair of Corsair LPX DDR4s. It posts, I install Windows 10, things run fine until Windows updates to the latest cumulative update. Then I get stuck in a bootloop. I'm on windows version 1803 now. Supposed to...

It really depends on your motherboard, power supply and cooling. I have an 8350 and an EVGA 1070SC. I can go 4800mhz on the 8350 and 2075mhz/4665mhz (core/memory) on the 1070 stably. I score a 5875 on 3DMark TimeSpy. 60+ fps on Witcher 3, DeusEx Mankind, Biochock Infinite = all Ultra settings...

Right, that's what I meant. I'm getting this thing while I decide what to do. Amazon doesn't carry the Asus HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD. https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-SST-ECM20-Adapter-ECM20/dp/B01798WOJ0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524289007&sr=8-2&keywords=HYPER+M.2+X4+MINI+CARD

Let's say all that matters to me is speed and I'm confused about how nvme and m.2 are related. I have an Intel 600 or 650 (can't remember) NVME M.2 I had it plugged into the M.2 slot on my motherboard. All was well. Now I have a different motherboard. I want a PCI card that would give me same if...

I don't have to.

I have to switch to a motherboard that does not have an m.2 slot. I'm on the market for a pcie adapter. Would someone mind giving me what to look out for if i don't want to lose speed and possibly a second m.2 slot? thanks.

i just wasted $25 on a rechargeable battery then. great. i have the one in the top picture.

Are you kidding me or does this thing really not connect to regular Bluetooth, and I have to spend another $25 to buy the USB wireless xbox controller receiver dongle?

Hey thanks. Actually there is no button assignment settings to be checked. They all connect to very specific pins on the motherboard where each one is specifically noted; power, reset, hdd lights etc. You can set the power button to hibernate, sleep or power down in power settings in Windows...

Thank you for your response. BIOS is up to date. I have the latest one from July. Why is it only happening when Windows 1709 shuts it down? It works fine on older builds and linux. I can't keep reinstalling Windows every freaking time they roll out an update. I have over a terabyte of...

I kept getting error 0x800704c7. Command prompt (run as admin). Type sfc /scannow. It found 0 errors when I ran it, but the update worked afterwards. But seriously fk this update. Read my newest post.

Every major update causes hours of annoying uninstall/reinstall and most likely ends in a fresh install W10. This one is different. When I shut down I can't turn the computer back on. The power switch does not respond. I have to turn off/on the PSU, and then the power button works and I can...

I was losing it over the same deal a year ago when I picked up an Intel 600 M.2. Benchmarked the crap out of M.2 vs different SSDs and in the end= 1. It's just so convenient to have an SSD already on the motherboard. 2. Transfer speeds get marginally better scores on Crystal Bench. In fact I...
