Hi all, I am upgrading/rebuilding my PC with a new MOBO, CPU, GPU, and RAM. New Part list: Mobo: ASUS Z790 Gaming Wifi7 CPU: i9-14900k GPU: ASUS GeForce 5070 OC Tuf gaming RAM: Corsair DDR5 6000mhz 2x16gb Old parts: NZXT Kraken 360 M.2 SSD SSD HDD Etc Behavior: I did a fresh windows install...

This is my first time OCing any components so I am a total amateur. I have read a lot of guides and threads, but none seems to step through every setting in the ASUS bio with detail. I would love to know exactly what power saving settings to turn off. I turn off most everything under CPU power...

When I first built the PC I had the D: drive HDD 1tb in it as the main active partition. I then added the SDD and 4TB HDD and new GPU. Then I switched to a new mobo to upgrade my CPU and thus reinstalled windows with all 3 drives connected. Switching the main partition to the SDD. Before...

Do you know how I can fix my windows to be only on the other two drives and be able to remove this one without consequences?

Why would win 10 put partitions on ALL drives during install? Isn't that super inefficient? What if I want to move or removed an HDD like now? Seems like a stupid functionality

Yea I believe all 3 of my drives were connected. But I formatted and removed my partition for this drive... would windows still need it to boot? I replaced my mobo and reinstalled windows with these drives.

I have a 4TB HDD that I partitioned and didnt put anything on, then deleted the partition and tried to unplug it from my PC. With the HDD plugged in (no partition) everything works fine. However, when I unplug it from my PC rig and try to start windows, everything loads in slowly, half my...
