    Question Good CPU cooler for i5-2500k OC?

    For the Coolermaster, is it the same as this one? I checked the dimensions. My cooler's height and length are shorter than the Hyper 212 Black, while the width of my cooler is larger than the Hyper 212 Black. Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black dimensions: 120 x 79.6 x 158.8 (L x W x H) mm Thermolab...

    Question Good CPU cooler for i5-2500k OC?

    Hello. I have an Intel i5-2500K that i overclocked to 4.4GHz with 1.33V. I ran Prime95 without AVX enabled and i get temps around 75-81C. From what i've heard those temp range with my voltage is not safe and I need to tone the voltage down. However, i really want this OC setup so i thought of...

    [SOLVED] SSD showing up in BIOS and Rescue Media but not in Windows 10

    That’s odd. The only way i was able to fix it was deleting it using the windows 10 boot installer. It got detected by windows 10 as unallocated space

    [SOLVED] SSD showing up in BIOS and Rescue Media but not in Windows 10

    I’m back and i found a solution. Apparently Windows 10 can’t detect storages that was in Windows 7 and not formatted and unallocated. My SSD was used in my old OS and i did not format them nor unallocate them. I fixed this by booting into Windows 10 USB installer boot and manually deleting...

    [SOLVED] SSD showing up in BIOS and Rescue Media but not in Windows 10

    Because i was upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 using Media Creation Tool. I decided to keep nothing (delete all files and reset all settings. On top of that i used the “Reset my PC” feature because there were a lot of leftovers). There was no option to install windows 10 on another drive...

    [SOLVED] SSD showing up in BIOS and Rescue Media but not in Windows 10

    No, it’s not in disk management nor device manager. And for Macrium Reflect it’s not unallocated. It had some data from my old OS (Windows 7).

    [SOLVED] SSD showing up in BIOS and Rescue Media but not in Windows 10

    Hello. I’ve recently upgraded to Windows 10 (very recently, just today. Clean install) and wanted to clone my boot drive, which is on an HDD, to an SSD. The SSD is Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB. When i first plugged it in it got detected by BIOS. Which was a good sign. However it did not get...
