Sorry for another question. Can I just unplug the SATA off the HDD instead of removing the whole drive?

I'll prefer a clean windows install. I haven't reinstalled since 2019 so it's probably the better choice. Thanks a lot!

I see. I do that before or after the reinstall process?

New SSD is a Crucial P2 1000Gb m.2 Currently on my C drive, there is 739gb free of 930

Got it. How would I remove windows off my old hard drive if it's disconnected? I got to do it after I install it on my SSD? Not sure I'm understanding.

Ok. But after I unplug my HDD and install Windows on my new drive. Wouldn't I have windows 10 on my Hard Drive and my SSD? Kind of difficult to explain 😆. I've heard that cloning causes some issues and some people end up reinstalling because of them. Not sure if I want to try that.

Hey! I've always had an HDD so I went ahead and got myself an M.2 ssd this week. I just installed it on the pc and now I am on the process of clean installing Win 10. Do I have to unplug my Hard Drive? After I unplug it and install Win 10 on my ssd wouldnt i also have windows on my hard drive...

Yup! Cleaned it yesterday with 50% alcohol though since that was the only thing I had. It cleaned the dirt perfectly. No idea if I did a mistake by using a 50% alcohol. Anyways, thanks a lot for taking your time!

Thanks a lot! What do the numbers mean in the alcohols? How fast they evaporate?

I see. Do you also do it for your cpu cooler? Mines seems to be dusty too but I need to buy thermal paste if I want to remove it. Will 50% isopropyl alcohol do the job? That one is the only one I got. It's not a spray but I have some micro fiber cloth and some q tips which I assume it's fine to use.

Thank you! The dirt is only pretty bad on the fans. The other things can be cleaned with canned air.

Hello! My pc has been pretty dusty for over 2 weeks now. I've been pretty busy and I haven't gotten time to clean it. Today I check what components are really dusty and it was mostly my fans. I know that I could just clean it with canned air but it has some dust that it just seems impossible to...

I'm so sorry for the late response. Thanks a lot!

Hey there! I was doing a stress test with Cinebench. Now I'm looking to do it in Prime95. I can't really seem to distinguish the actual official site and the other ones.

I see. I have an A320M-K which is a pretty old one. Not sure if motherboards affect temps though. I also run DOCP (XMP). But I wouldn't want to disable it.
