First, your case can have a huge impact. Try running the CPU while you have the sidepanels open. Also, your temps aren't terrible. I was hitting similar temps with my 3900x and Noctua NH-U12A. I have now settled on 4.225Ghz 1.2375V. I get over 80 degrees running my CPU at 90%. Your temps will...

yup, my case came configured this way (nzxt h500i). Looking at case reviews, additional intake fans shouldn't make much difference, but I am planning on adding some later anyway.

Two noctua CPU fans and two standard 120mm outtake case fans.

Hi guys, I am running a slight overclock (4.15GHz, 1.225V) on my Ryzen 9 3900x. Running folding at home (gpu/cpu full utilization) I noticed my CPU temps were at 95C, going down to 87C on open case. My GPU is also blowing hot air up right from underneath the CPU. Is this normal? Should I...

Hi guys, I've been trying to overclock my 3900x, (It's hard af) And I've been wondering if the temps I am seeing are normal. As in the title, it goes to up to max 85-86C under repeated cinebench r20 runs. It's clocked at an all core 4.2Ghz, and the CPU voltage is 1.2625V. I've applied the Noctua...

So I've just gone ahead and clicked remove mirror. (I have the other drive at home so the data is safe). It is now a normal simple volume with all my data still intact.

I don't think it would be boot priority since then I should be able to go into bios. It was probably a recurring error regarding the non existent second mirror drive. I can see the remove mirror option, but I'm scared of what it will do with the data. Thanks for the help though

It is not a boot drive. It's a data drive. It's just a simple software mirror done through windows disk manager. I have now hot-plugged the device into my computer and it shows up and reads data. I haven't dared to reboot yet. The data is fine, but it now it displays an error about how it can't...

So I've just built my new pc, and I want to install a previously mirrored drive in it. When I do install it however, it won't boot. It just keeps going to the bios "press f2 or delete" screen and then reboots repeatedly. Does anybody know how I can fix that? Thank you!

So I don’t know what the Removed I did wrong when I installed the cpu, but anyway, it lifted out of its socket when I removed the heatsink. Now it boots.

Hi, i just tried to turn on my new pc and it didn’t post. The motherboard rgb turns on and that’s it. My motherboard has a dedicated pwr and reset switch so that can’t be the problem. I also installed a new bios since I am running a 3rd gen ryzen on a last gen mobo. Didn’t work. Then I did the...

Thanks for the help!

Oh yes, I do have an iGPU. I have the AMD 3400G. I've been using my system without a graphics card. I just bought the rx580 yesterday.

My rx580 8GB never fills up its vram, and yet the system uses about a gigabyte of shared GPU memory. Should I forcefully disable shared GPU memory, or is it fine to leave it as it is?

I have been trying to upgrade my dads pc to a new ssd with win10 on it. It works fine except the display resolution. It doesn’t do 1080 and is stuck on a weird low res setting. I’ve tried new monitors, new monitor drivers, and more. Even CRU doesn’t work. Apparently it is an issue with the...
