    [SOLVED] MSI B360 Gaming Plus with Intel Core i3-9100F

    So I did some looking around and there's a company that will do it before they ship it for an extra $10 so I'll just go with that. Thanks for your help

    [SOLVED] MSI B360 Gaming Plus with Intel Core i3-9100F

    I haven't bought anything yet thankfully, and yes I was actually seriously considering that exact Ryzen but all the motherboards supported were minimum $250 which is way out of my $300 give or take $30 budget, discluding the RAM. And no I don't think it has USB flashing, but even if it did, I...

    [SOLVED] MSI B360 Gaming Plus with Intel Core i3-9100F

    Oh I see, thank you. Do you know any stores in Australia that do BIOS upgrades? Is it a common thing? I know Umart does it but they don't sell this motherboard.

    [SOLVED] MSI B360 Gaming Plus with Intel Core i3-9100F

    Hello everyone. So I'm currently on a 4th gen motherboard and CPU along with DDR3 RAM. I'm on quite a tight budget and want to upgrade to an MSI B360 Gaming Plus with an Intel Core i3-9100F. I've already got the RAM sorted out and I'm very happy with the motherboard but I've read about some...

    Question Can't extend C: Drive with MiniTool Partition Wizard or EaseUS

    Hey everyone. I recently made a dualboot hackintosh and decided I don't need so much storage space for macOS so in macOS I shrank the partition in exFAT format. Then I went to Windows and MiniTool and formatted the space, leaving it unallocated. I then went to "Extend" option and the unallocated...

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    Yeah, there’s no way my case can fit that. I’ve decided to do a little DYI wall mount and by the look of things everything should turn out well. Now I’m just waiting on the card and extender. Thanks for all your help!

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    I guess that means I can! Thanks. I’ll be placing it externally so is there a particular surface I should place the GPU on for best protection? E.g cloth, wood, paper, tissue etc. Also should it be sitting on it’s side or flat, fans facing up? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you!

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    Hello everyone. I’m trying to find workarounds to fit a full size GPU in or around an OptiPlex 9020 SFF. PCIe risers are flexible, so would I be able to slide it through supposedly the little gaps of the case opening and rest the GPU in a safe place or build/buy something to protect it and have...

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    Okay, thanks for the info! I did find that the RX cards have been used for a year of mining. I’m now trying to find workarounds to fit a full size GPU. I have one idea, what about using a PCIe x16 riser? They are flexible, so would I be able to slide it through supposedly the little gaps of the...

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    Hello, thank you for your reply. Do you think I could remove the hard drive cage or “modify” it to fit a full-size GPU? Decided I might go with an RX 580 used. Shows slightly better performance over the 1060. I heard people have had luck with other OptiPlex cases.

    Question Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB in an OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

    Hello all. I am looking to game on a somewhat considerable budget (for me anyway) and was wondering if a full-size Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB would fit in the OptiPlex 9020 SFF case and work with an upgraded PSU (currently looking at an EVGA 430W PSU and will use an adapter to connect it as dell used...
