I'm interested in this Arctic Freezer cooler as a replacement for the AMD Wraith cooler, but before I spend the $$$, I would like to know just how much improvement in temps I can expect with the AIO cooler.
Also, are the fans running all the time with the AIO, or are they off at lower temps...
My new rig includes an ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E with a Sabrent Rocket 1 TB NMVe drive. The rocket has two partitions, including C: with Windows and programs, and D: for my data. I just noticed that when I was loading a program, or accessing a data file, the disk activity light on my case did not...
8 TB Easystore external drive. Even easier to shuck than I imagined. This video helped.
Only disappointment is that I got a WD80EDAZ - 11TA3A0 drive, which is a 5400 RPM drive. But the Black Friday price was right, and it's going to used only for daily backups, which I do last thing in the...
I'm considering this 24 monitor for my wife's system. It has great reviews and it fits the budget. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/818908-REG/ASUS_VS248H_P_VS248H_P_24_LED_Backlit.html/specs
Only concern is that the height is fixed, unlike the old Samsung 17" my wife's system has now...
Now that my new rig has been running stable for like 5 months at stock settings, I think it's time to push it a bit for better performance.
My rig includes:
ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E m'board
AMD 3900X CPU
2 x 16 Crucial Ballistix CL 3600 RAM.
Recommendations appreciated for best guides.
What's the latest on announcement date? Features and specs, from reliable sources?
Since I'm not a gamer, but a Lightroom and Photoshop user, even a 3070 may be overkill for me.
:confused:
OK, so I opened up my system case and futzed around a bit with the PSU switch off. Then I turned that switch on, and the system would not boot. The lighting was on on the ASUS x509 ROG board and the AMD cooler but the fans would not spin. And the board did not go through the...
When my system is idling, temps on the Sabrent Rocket NMVe drive are mid-40s. Under use, of temps go higher, maybe 60 or more. Are these good temps? Should I get the optional Sabrent heatsink for this drive or a third party heatsink? (Any recommendations?)
My motherboard is an ASUS ROG...
I had to get a no-name replacement printer head for my Canon MP 530 printer. So I put the head into the printer, but only one of five ink cartridges actually printed in a test, even though the printer detected all five cartridges. So I thought I should remove and re-seat the printer head. At...
With JBOD does the collection of drives in the JBOD enclosure look like one drive?
How does JBOD compare with normal RAID?

I never gave MOCA much thought, but this thread really showed me what I was missing. https://hardforum.com/threads/increasing-wi-fi-range.1999107/#post-1044687009 Like 30 years ago, we did a big remodel and I put in 10Base5 coax Ethernet in the walls to go between first and second floors. It...

If I want to replace my old Intel board with this new AMD CPU/motherboard, what is the best order to install the new drivers, once Windows has booted upwith the new CPU/board?

Is the fan supposed to cool the chipset? Say on the ASUS ROG Strix-E? This AIO got recommended in another thread.
I do need to upgrade my graphics card, and settled on nVidia because Adobe seems to favor nVidia over AMD for GPU enhancements to Lightroom and Photoshop. That said, i'm not a gamer so FPS isn't an issue for me, and I do have a budget of $400 max for a 3-fan model (for quiet operation.) Can I...
A few months ago, I rebuilt my desktop with an ASUS ROG Strix-E, 3900X CPU, and 32 GB of CL 3600 RAM plus an NMVe SSD. I was planning to also get an RX 5600XT (with three fans for quiet operation), but I was really put off by all the posts about driver issues, black screens, etc. By the way...
So they just announced a VPN. I'm no VPN expert, actually more like a VPN noob. But I already use the Premium version of MalwareBytes and it seems to work well enough.
I just saw this on the Netgear website. https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbs850.aspx#. The web site seems to imply this new device can work with any router but all the other Orbi info seems to say that it's a 'closed' system. Can anyone clarify.
Thanks.
Suggestions appreciated for a decent quality inexpensive X79 board. Nothing fancy, just 4 memory slots.
I had a thread going about problems with my ASUS P9X79Pro board. After I removed and reseated the CPU, the system would simply not boot up. In that thread, someone recommended a inpensive...
Are there any ways to fix this USB port problem? Doing a full powerdown and then powering up again did not fix this problem.
When I have a device plugged into this port, every so often the system makes the device removed sound, followed by the device added sound. Sometimes this cycle happens...
I am a [H]ard|Gawd with over 2000 posts, but this is my first post in this forum. I'm wondering if by some chance my Corsair AX 850 power supply is the issue with random reboots of my new system. This PSU is about six years old and has run without any problems since I installed it. I'm...
I just built my new system recently with ASUS ROG X570 Strix-E, 3900X CPU with stock cooler, and 2x16 GB Crucial Ballistix 3600 CL 16 RAM. I had an unexplained shutdown after one week, which I fixed after removing the CMOS battery overnight. So before I try to fine-tune and maybe do some...

My mouse worked Ok on my previous build, ASUS P9X79PRO board, but with this new board, the mouse is so "twitchy" that it's damn near impossible to navigate the BIOS screens. I could not an info in the manual on how to configure the mouse for BIOS. Any suggestions?
I just unboxed the 3900X and installed it into my motherboard. Easy-peasy, very positive indication, better than Intel processors. :) .

I keep reading reviews that say that a lot of X570 boards have BIOS defaults for voltage, etc, that are too high. So what is a good reference source for the correct BIOS settings, assuming that I want to run my new system at stock CPU and RAM speeds until I know my system is stable?
