    Question Safe power-draw limit on motherboard's rear USB ports ?

    Hi! I have a Aorus B560M Pro AX. I was wondering about the wattage the rear usb ports can safely supply. I bought a monitor light bar and the most convenient port I can plug it into is my mobo's rear usb ports. The manual says the light bar draws 5V 1A. Would there be no problems in the future...

    Question Which Gen 4 SSD is the better buy?

    Hi! I have been holding off on my storage upgrade for some time now but SSD prices will shoot up this year so I might cop one or two. I will replace my old main drive Kingston A2000 250GB with a 1TB Gen 4 SSD and my old game drive Seagate Barracuda 2TB with a 2TB Gen 3 SSD. I might get a Gen 4...

    Question Should I get a Gen 3 or Gen 4 NVMe SSD ?

    I have a system that supports pcie 4 so I am thinking about getting a gen 4 NVMe SSD (Aorus 7300 1TB for $110) to replace my old gen 3 main drive (Kingston A2000 250GB) as I am running out of space. However, I found a SX8200 Pro 1TB for around $60 and a 2TB model for $125. I'm leaning on getting...

    [SOLVED] Which PSU should I get ?

    That is true. The extra headroom helps a lot as the psu degrades as well. I don't think I'll be pulling more than 500w (even if we take into account occasional spikes), so 850w should be enough, right? Thanks

    [SOLVED] Which PSU should I get ?

    I'm from the Philippines and yes, the list is due to both product availability and pricing. I might end up saving for the hydro g pro because of the warranty and quality.

    [SOLVED] Which PSU should I get ?

    Just bought a sapphire 6700xt for $330 so I am planning to change my current psu (InWin F1 600w Bronze) to a better quality and higher wattage one after I save up. A little bit concerned as there is only 2x 6+2-pin pcie power on a single cable on my current psu, which would mean that I would...

    Question SSD Game Drive

    I'm looking for a 2tb nvme ssd to replace my 2tb hard drive. My budget is $200 max or 10k PHP. I've already checked multiple online stores/sites, and unfortunately, only the Kingston NV1 and Crucial P2 is available for around $150-160 after discount. I know they have pretty low TBW and 'might'...

    Update: I had to disable csm to enable secure boot and tpm 2.0 for windows 11. The pink screen during boot came back but I fixed it by choosing the other bios of the card (via onboard switch)

    [SOLVED] Intel 11400 Core Clocks

    Is it normal for 11400 to be at 4,189MHz while on r23 and not 4,200MHz? Genuinely curious, just upgraded from an i3 7100 and using that chip it was always above the set clocks 3,912MHz than 3,900MHz
