They test good in my desktop. I was going to say your idea may have fixed it. But it just crapped out as I was going to post. 😆 Irish luck here for sure. Im tempted to buy an Aoostar and make it up. Or take a desktop that has fairly modern hardware and not doing anything and give it new life as...

I ran tests and they test good with no bad sectors or anything. Im suspecting theres a problem with that slot or how that slot is accessing something. Like memory or controller. I am going to do the memory swap suggested above. Part of me thinks this thing is 2 years old its time to trash it and...

It is as says. Anytime I move or copy large files or collections I get "Data Transfer Error Disc 1 sector..." It gives sectors. I even get sector 0 on occasion. Deleted and made a new RAID setup- same thing. Swapped drives around- same thing. Drives around with new setup- same. Its always disc...

I would prefer just the driver. I am seeing the asus has software like some widgets. Their coding and updates over the years has become a turnoff for me. If it's not required that could be a good thing.

Overtine at work has been mentally draining, but I've been considering upgrading to a 4k oled. I think my system can handle it with a 4080 and 9950X. But the recommendations I see make me ask questions. The ASUS monitors, is the software as resource hungry as Armoury Crate? Is the cost worth...

I run with a Noctua NH-U12A. Keeps the beast cool and the room warm in the winter. I think my next build I am going to go to water cooling. Seems like CPU's are getting hotter and hotter. I might need to upgrade my case for that. But oh well. Both are items I am budgeting on a new build. I...

I currently have a ROG X570-E mobo and happy with it. I have my ram maxed out. My RTX 2070 Super keeps up. But it's starting to show it's age. I find myself gaming on my PS5 more. I have the option to either build a new system and get a AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, ASUS X670E Pro Prime. I could upgrade...

It is awesome you can explain the why better than anywhere else. I can score a sbX AE-5 plus pure right now for about $130. Looks like it fits the bill. I am going to think for a minute on if it is an upgrade thats worth it. The asus x570 i have isnt too bad without the Sonic audio apps causing...

Since windows 11 does not output 5.1 surround sound via optical like past versions, I am looking into my options for a sound card. I am looking at a couple of sound blaster options. My question is, since USB sound devices seem to be taking over, is there any latency with gaming and these...

I got my numbers wrong it was the 760T. I got it and love it. Great case. The improved cable management alone makes it worth it. Took me a few hours to get it all in there properly but temps are great and I have all my toys. I like the removable top hood. I call it the cat protector.

I am not after max overclocks. I am only after good stable temps. It looks like that is what I have right now. I see water cooling happening in my future but maybe in a 6 months to a year or so. I am just after a good case now that supports that idea (future ready), but can do what I need. Like...

I am looking at the Corsiar 750D Airflow Edition. I like the look and the 5.25" drive bays. Is there a way to see which coolers it can fit?

I am thinking about a NZXT H510 and the NZXT Kraken Z63 280mm RGB CPU Water Cooling Kit. Would they work together? My system shows as stable but the temps do climb pretty quick. I doubt I would ever see that in a game but never know. If build my own cooling system it would be come over...

I got a Ryzen 9 3900xt. It is on a Asus x570-e Gaming board. With a Noctua NHU12A. Love the Noctua. I am getting 70 degrees MAX in GTAV and maybe around 50 in game. I need to really push it to check stability. Would there be a benefit to water cooling? I would need a new case. So if I went this...

I just put a Noctua NH-U12A on my fiance's desktop. It reduced the temps on her 3600X by about 10 degrees on stress test. It sounds like you have some potential airflow problems too. Noctua has a catalog on their site by CPU and then by motherboard and even case. Just because of that and it's...
