- MB: ASUS PRIME H610M-A D4-CSM LGA 1700

Hi people,

Hi!
So, my system temps are okay, but it's maybe too loud sometimes.
The question is, should the system fans look at CPU or SYSTEM temperature when setting their speed?
Now when my Ryzen 7 2700x temp is jumping 43 --> 51 --> 43 fast, the system fans are doing the same thing at their speed, but...

I was listening to the music when I realized most of the files from Local Disk D disappears. Important files are also lost. There's nothing in the Recycle Bin. I think it moves to somewhere in the computer accidently. Where can I find the lost files?
