Part 1 of the build was late 2017 MSI x370 carbon mobo 16gb Gskill Trident Z ddr4 3200 Rhyzen 5 1600 3600ghz DeepCool Captain 120ex Asus 1060 6gb dual Samsung 960 ev0 250gb for C drive 2 x 2tb and some other drives in Raid...can't remember. 2018 lightning and power problems at the house I...

The facts are, it supports 4:4:4 and 4k at 60hz, so it is usable as a monitor and people have. Rtings.com spoke about this tv in a recent article stating: "If you need a smaller TV to use as a PC monitor and save some money, then look into the TCL 4 Series/43S425 2019. It can't get nearly as...

I will say, if doing repeated, back to back tests on cinebench, I've noticed a random hiccup that seems to be related to cinebench. I'd restart the program and it'd go away. One time randomly, it was reporting 19.95fps and did it back to back. I restarted cinebench and it went away. Only...

I have the C14. I just updated the bios on the MSI X370 today due to a bug coming out of sleep mode. I am now at 3.5ghz oc'd ryzen 5 1600 and stable, the ram I showed above is in XMP profile 1 and a 1060 6gb Geforce. I ran cinebench afterwards and did 105fps and 1141 CPU which benchmarked...

I was having this random issue where my CPU was at a reduced clock speed when I brought the PC out of sleep mode. My cinebench score would tank. Your scores seem to look like mine were. I updated my bios on the MSI board, as well as check the power management settings in windows. Point is...

One thing that really feels like it paid off for me, was going to the MSI website and being sure I was buying compatible and tested RAM and SSD. I wanted no conflicts in critical areas, and so far so good on my end. I will say, I've had some small bugs arise, so be sure to update the bios to...

My comparison isn't completely relative, as my system is a bit different (msi 370x, ryzen 5, etc) but I have a 960 evo 250gb and it does benchmark close to the advertised rates you posted. I am at 3121 read and 1611 write. Doesn't help, but I can confirm your seemingly correct that it should...

^ This is exactly the path I am heading here. So...update is, I built my first PC and I am up and running. Only things left to do are get adobe suite back onboard, then finish the data recover portion, then initiate my new data management/backup deal. Per prior posts, I recovered my Raid 1 C...

For searchers, I used Gskill TridentZ 3200 with that board. It booted at 2133 (iirc), I used xmd profile 2 and it's running at 3200 and seems to be well. I used a ryzen 5 1600 6 core and am currently oc'd at 3.4 and 1.325 volts stable (going to push for a little more but want longevity). I've...

Ordering parts for my build. Will update on what happens with the RAID 5 setup.

Well, after some reading now it appears my RAID 5 trio may be fine, but given the fact I don't know the RAID parameters, offset, sequence and all other factors makes me screwed. Why the hell did this guy take 2, 2tb drives raid them, then take 3 500gb drives and RAID those damn things...what a...

The RAID 5 trio, by all indications isn't harmed. I only say that due to the fact that when I attempted to boot up the pc, the trio would show up and appear as normal. When I build another PC, is it as simple as pluggin in the trio then setting into the bios that they are raided? Going to...

Ha...yeah, the cooler is not a necessity, just more of a lookie lou. I did check the notes, there is a brace for the AM4 socket, so it seems I'd have to buy the specific AM4 compatible version which I found on ebay for 69.00 shipped. Good to know on the wraith cooler, wasn't aware of that...

So, I put this together....think I am going to do a baby build here to get rolling again. I'll have to figure out how to get all my RAID 5's back online. Going to get another full case, so I have a lot of drive slots and a big mobo with a lot of sata ports. Here is what I have...

Well, here is where I am. I got an old office PC, pulled on the of the OS drives in RAID 0 and pulled the case off of this old ass HP office PC. I plugged it up and started that pc. I went into disk management and saw there was 1.8tb unallocated, no drive assigned, etc. Did some searching...
