About a year ago I built my PC, always with the plan to upgrade the CPU. Here is my current setup, which i'm not gaming but creating/rendering videos, light CAD/3D printing and streaming.... The MOBO was 3000 series ready when I purchased it, so (being my first build and unfamiliar with...

I downloaded (initially and now again) the Intel WiFi Drivers from MSI.com (Win 10 64), extracted then ran the application (which it now gave the option to 'Repair' or 'Cancel')... but it doesn't show up in Device Manager. Also, all Windows Updates are installed. Device Manager only shows the...

Both antennas are (have been) connected.

MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC BIOS Version - E7B85AMS.180 Build Date- 11/8/19 Onboard WiFi isn't working. I just put together a PC for my nephew, basically using the same parts as I used for my personal build six months ago. On my build, after downloading Live Update 6 and installing the...

I'm trying to figure out why a desktop, which used to connect at around 50mbps through WiFi now only connects around 7mbps and often won't connect without restarting. I just added a NetGear AC1900 Extender, so signal strength is 100% and not the issue. Tim

Can someone tell me if it's possible to create 'virtual memory' using hard drive space, which I have an M.2 PCIe SSD installed? I was thinking I remembered reading about it some years ago, but thinking about it I seem to recall the option when inserting a thumb drive.

I have an HDD I'm going to use in a new build for my nephew and I just want to make sure if there is anything on it that I have everything off of it I need (I think I already backed it up, but just to be sure). I have it connected externally via a USB 3.0 cable that has the power and SATA...

I'm trying to figure out if that memory you listed is compatible with the Ryzen 5 1600 af (I'm assuming it is being you mentioned them together). I ended up getting me a massage I before 50 gaming pro carbon because he needed WiFi

Yes, it a 60hz 32" screen and he'll be using the wireless.

Thanks everyone!

I'm not trying to steal anything and I don't know why you'd jump to that conclusion, it was mentioned and I'm simply asking. I was thinking there was an option similar to the previously offered Windows 7 Family Pack...which allowed installs on 3PCs.

I previously read on here about a version of OEM Windows that allows multiple installs, but I can't recall or find it again. I recently built myself a new PC and I just decided to put one together for my nephew. I'm looking for this version of Windows because soon I'll be building another...

I wanted to make sure there is nothing I was missing but there's no problem putting a Wraith Prism cooler (105W rated) on something like a Ryzen 5 1600/2600, correct?

My brother (his dad) said not to go crazy, don't spend a lot. I figured I would give him both when I upgrade, not knowing how much he'll use it. I'll upgrade him with a better processor and a better video card once I know he's actually using it.

My nephew, who is 13, is currently learning coding and next school year Photoshop..and he's looking to start playing Fortnite (possiblly other games once he gets started). I was going to put my old PC back together for him because I basically built one with all new parts, but I remembered I...
