So not the usual 150 or so gb that you always see with a drive. It's a 2tb m.2 samsung 980 evo. The drive shows 1.81 tb available total as expected. But I have a 1tb Seagate firecuda that has my os on it. I did a clean windows install. 980 evo was untouched. No raid setup. I have about 250 gb...

Sorry for getting back late I've been busy with school. I'm finally getting my degree in cloud computing. Who knew this little hobby would finally give me some direction in career goals. Problem solved mods. Just needed to reseat the gpu and give it a good clean for a better connection.

Brief specs are i9 10900k gtx 3070ti and a couple of m.2 ssds. Mobo is msi z590 gaming edge wifi. I think I'll wait until I upgrade the mobo and cpu but when I shop for mobos od like to make sure 64gb is supported and at what max speed.

Ive looked in the manual. All four dimm slots can be used. I want to upgrade but currently have two 16gb sticks of gskill trident z f4-4000mhz for a total of 32gb. Im not sure whether to buy identical sticks to run 4 slots for a total of 64gb and if my mobo will be able to run it. I know id have...

Hey just wanted to update. After reseating the gpu and cleaning it and the pcie slot good I havent had any issues in two days. Ill update in the next day or two if the problem returns. I also lowered the prop I have to keep my gpu from sagging. Maybe that was lifting up a little to much on the...

Im running an I9-10900k and gpu is a gtx 3070ti. OS is windows 10. My display randomly cuts out a couple of times a day. Ive tried six different hdmi cables and 3 different monitors. Ive changed the nvidia drivers and did a clean install. Ive disconnected and reconnected all the cables from the...

My card is a 3070ti. The screen occasionally flashes black when I boot it up for about one second. It occasionally does the same when launching a game. Updating windows 10 and the driver seemed to fix the issue for now. Though only time will tell. Ive heard this could be gpu initializing...

The thread can be closed. Looks like the usb adapter doesnt pick up a strong signal. After I installed the wireless card antennas, the speed increased. So user error and long story short do your homework before you waste money on stuff you dont need.

I ask because I had to go prebuilt to get a gpu. When ordering from nzxt, they wouldnt let you order two nvme drives because according to the website 10th gen intel cpus werent compatible with 2 nvme pcie drives. But looking at my manual it appears you can but Im really not sure because Im...

That is indeed the board and yep its right there under the pcie lane. Just out of curiosity do you know why the manuals pic is so vague? Id like to know how to short the jbat but like I said theres 3 sets of two pins and none are labeled.

Where would the cmos battery be? I cant see it looking at the board?

Heres a pic of bios settings. View: http://imgur.com/gallery/8wR8WNx

Thanks I had looked into shorting the jbat but the manual just shows a vague set of two pins under the last pcie slot. The problem is there are 3 sets of 2 pins, followed by a set of four pins. Its one of those 3 sets of 2, but I have no idea which one and its not labeled on the board.

On my old z490 edge board you could reset all the bios setting to default when you exited. It was an option by the save configuration and exit button. I dont know how to reset cmos and didnt feel up to learning right this moment. My xmp profile is acting a little strange, jumping back and...

So strange. Now whenever I disable xmp under dram and save the configuration if I run a benchmark or boot into the bios the dram xmp is enabled again.
