Two of my favorite picks are: The Outlaw Josie Wales Conan The Barbarian (with Arnold!) There are just to many others to list.

I bought a pci 3.0 P3 Crucial for mine as it pretty much matched my CPU/Combo, 2TB. 5 year warranty. I knew I wasn't going to get a speed monster, only a bit of an upgrade in capacity and hopefully some faster loading times.

Not expecting a huge performance boost, I know my system is a bit outdated by today's standards. I figure it's got to give a bit faster loading times for my games and the increase in size would let me migrate a few more games from a spinning drive to this one, plus I have to admit I have been...

Hi! My current system is an Asus Prime X470 Pro motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X processor. My main drive is a Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5 inch drive. I originally built the system with a Crucial BX200 with a 240GB capacity, but then upgraded to the MX500 as the first drive didn't offer a lot of...

Yes, the obvious would be that the CPU fan failed but this is not the case! This is an old pre-built HP running an Athlon II CPU. The cooler was upgraded some years ago from the stock unit to a Cooler Master low profile CPU cooler - I don't recall the model but it is one of those that has 3 heat...

I bought the 950 back in 2016 and got good use out of it for the FX 6350 GPU it was paired up with. and the games I was playing at the time. Came a point where I began having issues with my system freezing up, and after much testing and hair pulling, I decided to try upgrading the GPU to a GTX...

I also wonder about the power supply. If all 8 pins are delivering power through the PCE extension or not. Do you have access to another power supply to test with? You wouldn't have to install it, just set it up next to it and plug everything in to test. Otherwise it may be the MOBO

The 2600X was a bargain when I picked it up - it was literally a week or two before the release of the 3000 series. Micro Center was sitting on a pile of the 2600X's and unloading them for $79! I could not make it down there for a few days and by the time I got there, the price had gone up to...

Also then: what about the 2600X? I have read some conflicting reports as to its compatibility. It's not in my budget at this time to upgrade the CPU. Thanks

Currently running an AMD 2600X on this Mobo. According to the ASUS website, BIOS version 5854 says "Support Windows 11 by default, no settings changes required in the UEFI BIOS " One of the previous versions mentions support for 3000 series CPU's (no 5000 series it seems!) and another supports...

Well, the whole issue has been rendered sort of academic, as during a boot up I was greeted with a BSOD and a notice that I needed to insert my Windows Disc to perform a recovery. Heck, if I was going to insert the Widows disc, I might as well reinstall everything onto the SSD - so I did! I...

I can not extend (C) so I am considering that clean install onto the SSD. I am only using 164 GB on that 1 TB drive - 240 GB would be fine for the boot drive

SSD is not currently installed - it was drafted for use elsewhere

The system reserved partition says it is active on Disk 0- ok to delete?

Sort of my thought, although it would be nice to use the SSD. Thanks
