Thanks! I'll stay away from Dragon Center. I definitely want this pc to last the next 5 years at least, so 5.1 it is : ) I'm coming from a i7-7700, and I can already tell the performance is better. Thanks again : )

Thanks again : ) I decided to keep 5.1 and slept comfortably with prime95 running over night. The max temp was 77 and no whea errors. I ran Timespy to see how much performance I lost from 5.2, but I was surprised that my 5.1 score went UP from the 5.2 score to 16950ish! So close to the 17000...

Thanks! I was looking for a guide like that. I think I'm stuck at 5.1ghz @ 1.3V with max temps in the mid 70s using prime95 and Realbench I wanted 5.2 @ 1.36 with temps in the low 80s but I get Cpu L0 Cache errors which I'm considering a fail. Apart from raising my Vcore, which will make my...

Hi All, I just put my first pc together and want to overclock my 10900KF cpu. Right now the MSI 'Game Boost' + XMP is giving me an almost constant 5.3 ghz/per core (some cores shoot up to 5.5 occasionally) @ 1.41 volts when running Cinebench 20. My temps hover around 75-80 degrees during the...

I just checked the m.2 and it says "THNSN5256GPUK NVMe" and also has PCIe on it. So the dell specs were wrong saying it was sata. Thanks for the replies everyone!

Best idea. I'm going to put in ram this weekend and that will give me a chance to get the model number.

Thanks for the reply! The one in the amazon link has 2 gaps between the pins and the NVMe samsung has only 1 gap. Do I need to buy one with 2 gaps or will the 1 gap one fit in the slot (assuming I currently have a NVMe slot)?

Hi All, I have an old Aurora R6 with 256mb m.2 drive and I want more storage space. I looked up the Alienware Aurora R6 specs and Dell says I have an m.2 SATA slot. But then when I look in Device Manager on Windows 10 under Disk drives, it says NVMe THNSN5256GPUK NV. The articles I've been...

Ok, I found it! It was buried in a different place than my old computer was in the audio settings.

Hi All, My old Windows 7 computer's stock sound card had a setting where I could level the audio of the main computer audio. I can't find those settings in Windows 10. I listen to a lot of podcasters that don't use compression and their audio goes from really quiet to super loud and it's...

Hi All, My Dell Aurora R6 came preinstalled with Windows 10 HOME-HE 64bit. I'm going to attempt a dual boot with my Windows 7 Pro 64bit OEM disc I bought a while back. I don't want to reinstall Windows 10. I've had the pc for a year now and all data is backed up. But before I even attempt...
