Thanks everyone again for all the help! Learned a lot through this, as always :giggle:. While I've definitely found what my problem is I now have some decisions to make. In the end I'm really torn because it's one of those moments in the cycle from Intel that they'll be going to a new...

Awesome! Thank you for all that valuable information. So if you were to do it on the AMD side, does all the pcie lanes come from the cpu or is the x570 chipset just able to handle that much. Actually just looking at the specs a Ryzen 7 3700x has 24 pcie lanes, gen 4 to boot. I can see the money...

Wow. Thanks everyone. I had no idea the DMI handled the communication the the Southbridge. I thought it all pick backed off of PCI-E. And that's the answer I've been looking for. Thank you. Now I guess it does make sens now why they would include two M.2 ports not to do what I'm doing but to use...

How is that possible? I thought this was possible on the Z370 Chipset. This is the page from the motherboard manual regarding the M.2 operation View: https://imgur.com/a/TyUWnK9 In the first paragraph it states "support SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32...

Hello Everyone! I just installed a second M.2 that I have setup for Raid 0 however when I'm running a speed test it's only reflecting the speed of a single drive. Not sure whats going on with it. Any ideas? I thought it might have been the PCI-E Lanes not being allocated properly but everything...

Thanks rubix. I just needed to know if the current res I had would fit any different pumps. You opened my mind to the different varieties that manufactures use and not all are made equal. Luckily I was able to find a EK-DBAY D5 at a local Microcenter. It's the older bay res combo style that I...

No it did not. It used the cheapo XSPC pump for sure. The link I posted is to the XSPC RX240 kit which is what I have. My question is simply if a D5 pump will fit in this reservoir. Coming from little knowledge on the subject, I assumed that all pumps were made the same size. I'm sure I'm just...

Hello everyone! My water pump recently died and I'm looking for a replacement. This is the original kit I'm using http://www.xs-pc.com/discontinued-eol/raystorm-750-ex240-watercooling-kit I need help in knowing if I can use any regular D5 pump with this reservoir or does it have to be a...

What are your temps like? Can you give the model number of the laptop?

What happens when you remove the processors? Will it boot to BIOS?

Whats your full system specs? I would suggest uninstalling your current drivers and downloading the most up to date driver from Nvidia's website. Using DDU can make sure that no lingering issues are present when you go to install the new driver. This tool simply uninstalls the current Nvidia...

When it crashes do you get a blue screen? Or do it just reboot. Does the game freeze but your able to still use the computer? Or a complete lock up. Please give us some more info as to what's happening when things get funky.

I would suggest a Monitor Arm. You could deal with what you have for a little while till you can afford it. Not sure what the return policy is. Restocking fee, etc. https://www.alza.cz/search.htm?exps=monitor%20arm

Possible it may be the monitor as well. Worth checking out using a TV if you don't have an extra monitor. The refresh rate will be painful tho lol. But at least you can rule that out. Yeah Amazon pulled back shipping those non essentials :cautious:. I would go to Newegg. Looks like they are...

Very interesting. So it looks like all it needed was a reseat. Strange how that happens over time o_O Glad we could help!
