Hmmm. After installing all the drivers, the HDD problem still persists. I installed all the drivers from the mobo's support website and also from AMD's site - the RAID driver doesn't want to install since I don't run RAID. Apparently, there are no SATA drivers provided by AMD. They say we...

Maybe I wasn't clear enough at the beginning of my post. I tried everything, including changing the power settings to never turn off the HDD and it doesn't work. Also, it's not 20 minutes, HDDs spin down every 10 seconds or so.

Hello, I've tried literally everything from simple power options in Windows, HDD Sentinel, hdparm for Windows and turning off APM through CrystalDiskInfo. None of that works. Ever since I upgraded from Intel to Ryzen 3700X I get HDD spinning down (going to sleep) and then it spins up on...

Hi, I'd like to know if I should go for i5 6400, because it's 27€ cheaper than i5 6500 where I live. At the same time I feel like i5 6500 would be a better choice as I'm planning to keep the new cpu for at least 4 years. I can't decide. Other components I'm going with: MSI B150M Bazooka 16 gigs...

Thanks for all the answers. I'm going to go with i5 6500, some cheaper mobo like H110 or B150 and 16 gigs of ram.

If I would overclock, I'd rather go with Z97 and some decent cooler + 4690k, that would be basically the same price as the 6500 version I've mentioned above (with 8GB of ram, however). I really can't decide, even though I know there is no real way to "futureproof" your rig, I just don't want to...

Well I didn't know that you can overclock with stock cooler, let alone that you dont have Z97 motherboard. How is that possible?

Hi, I plan to upgrade from FX-4100 sometime in a few months range. That means that I already have DDR3 RAM (8 GB). My budget is around 350€, the lower, the better obviously. I really can't decide whether I should go with i5 4590, some H97 mobo and no additional ram and spare some cash - also...
