Background: I'm looking into building a new PC for gaming and programming. For programming I need to compile large projects, which is CPU, memory and IO intensive. As I now have ordered myself an ultra-wide monitor with 3840x1440 resolution I'm guessing my gaming framerate might suffer with...

Hey all, I'm considering using only M.2 drives in my next build for my storage needs; specifically, the new Samsung Evo PLUS line 2TB. All I do is game, however, and I'm worried what 2 or 3 M.2 drives do to the PCIe bandwidth. I'm planning to purchase the ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero...

Hello everyone, So I bought an i9 10900k and an ASUS Z490 Maximus XII Formula and I already ran into some issues. I have updated the bios to latest version (0607), and now I am trying to set a manual voltage for the CPU because as always, AUTO voltages seem to be extremely high (close to 1.4...

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of building a new PC here with all the parts right next to me. However, I'm having a hiccup where the mounting bracket isn't lining up with the holes in the motherboard. (It's close, but far enough that something is fishy), so I thought something must be wrong...
