Hey richiestang_78! Thanks for getting back and for the extremely helpful tips and suggestions! I'll go the the x570 mobo I think. I've always loved my Noctua NHU14s, they're so quiet so maybe I'll go for the DH15 as they're always a good choice like you said :). Glad to hear I won't have to...

Hi, I'm in desperate need of upgrading my pc. I was going to do it in the Summer but I couldn't afford what I wanted at the time but now I can. Here's my current build: CPU - 6th gen i7 6700k, 4 core, 8 thread RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury 2133 MHz DDR4 32GB RAM MOBO - ASRock Fatal1ty Z170...

Just one more thing jeremyj_83 if thats ok - do you recommend 2666Mhz or 3000Mhz RAM for the thread ripper?

Thanks very much jeremyj_83!

Hey thanks very much for the advice guys! Very appreciated and informative. I was considering jumping to Corsair Vengence 64gb RAM 3000MHz a few weeks ago as my cpu was getting bottlenecked with handling giant zbrush files so thought that might help (along with the thread ripper). In terms of...

Hey, I wanted to upgrade my pc... well.... I wanted to do more of a 'soft' upgrade rather than another scratch build that'll cost a bomb. I was given a brand new Threadripper 1950x in early June and haven't had time to actually look into it but I have a few questions I wanted to ask about what...

SkynetRising - I tried using HD Tune but it couldn't read the drive and all I got was this error :( Error Think its gone sadly

Thanks SkyNetRising, will try a different SATA cable first then try the partition wizard

Sorry Skynetrising, thought I took pictures of both. The HDD is now being shown in the Device Manager. But when I reboot the pc, I hear 3 beeps from the HDD. This is what appears in the Disk Managment.. Disk Management Device Manager Thanks for the advice DSzymborski, doesn't look great...

Sure, sorry I forgot to upload it before Disk Management Seagate

Hey, got some Hard drive issues. I run Windows OS off of a 250 Samsung SSD... I bought a 4TB Seagate HDD from Ebuyer 32 days ago . All programs installed are put on the HDD drive, so its purely for storage. This morning as I had the pc open the HDD made some weird noises, 3 beeps... pause...

Hey, I have a Corsair H110i GT. Its never really been amazing but it is what it is... but its all of a sudden started going crazy since i reinstalled windows. The fans are running very high (and very loudly) and a horrible clicking sound can be heard thats incessent (trapped bubbles?)...

Many thanks guys, I did previously uninstall all the drivers then restart but the ports still weren't recognising the USB 3.0. I had to have a look inside the tower and realised that when it was made I stupidly zip tied the cables together too tightly and then tied the bunch to a bracket so...

Hey, I've got a really bizarre problem... I have 4 USB ports on the top of my tower, 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0. This morning I was transferring some files from c to d drive and I had an external hard drive plugged into one of the usb 3 ports and everything was working. For some reason the...

Many thanks USAFRet, that worked perfectly!
