My GS66 is in the mail and I want to have it repasted. I've read that Liquid Metal Conductonaut can sometimes be bad for copper, and should only be applied to nickel, and it needs to be re-applied every 6 months to a yearr. Is it better to just go with some regular, higher quality paste like...

Maybe in just some specific aspects. F it I'm getting the Toshiba for an extra $30, nobody online will have the answer to this.

Seems like all the helium drives have worse random reads: https://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/HGST-Ultrastar-He8-Helium-8TB-vs-Toshiba-X300-5TB/m29773vs3593 Anyway, gut is telling me to go with Toshiba...

Yes Cubase 10 Pro, streaming Kontakt samples. Worried about voice count in kontakt mainly. More intense libraries are on the SSDs.

I have like 9 SSDs, 500gb-1tb, and OS on a 850 pro. I'm not streaming that many instruments from the HDD, and I know the Toshiba will get the job done, but Seagate is cheaper, newer, and better warranty. But, I read the Drives like Iron Wolf, Red, and other lines have way worse random read...

Yes when I run out of SSD space, but the Seagate $30 cheaper and might be better.

Hello, I currently have the 8tb Toshiba x300 I use with several internal SSDs, now I'm upgrading to 10tb. I can't find the actual specs on these drives except for their transfer rates. There are also so many damn versions of the Exos Drives on Seagates website versus what amazon or newegg tells...

What do you think, take the chance on refurbished? lol im so against this usually but theres great warranty and its not for me

Thanks but no warranty on that. So this Lenovo on amazon, with 4 year warranty, and a 250gb kingston SSD, comes to only $330CAN which is around 250 american. Steal for what she needs if you ask me. Oh and we also have ethernet Thanks!

Really? HP scares me, their laptops suck. Should I go for the Lenovo? Also these are renewed/refurbished. Also it has WIFI

sorry I updated the links, no she has a laptop and tablet, wnts one for home.

Something around 2gz clock speed would be ideal

Hello, Looking for something for my mom, she just uses Word, Chrome, and other siimlar aps. Is this a good options...

Alright thanks

So which option? The Gutmann Wipe was going to take probably over 3 days.

Hello, So started the Dban software and began the Nuke, it would literally take days to erase everything securely. Then, I started a Full format of my HDD through windows, later to read that it is useless and it's just scanning for errors opposed to the quick format. Is there any other free...

So then it's a software limitation? Couldn't somebody technically make a custom bios? Seems like an easy work around but then again I know nothing

Nice that's a deal. yeah i was giong to boot it from boot menu f12. But wilt it have the same bottleneck as a Samsung T5?

Hello, I have a razerblade for work, don't want to riddle it with games and software. If I install Windows 10 and STEAM on this...

Hello, I asked this question like 10 years ago and nothing existed. Does this stuff exist now? I know there's ones for smart devices but what about laptops? It would just have to keep me charged while surfing. Not sure if I could go into high performnce mode with one of these.

Hello so I've been running RS3 windows this whole time, wanted to try RS5 to see how it was. I can't see my internal (L) 6tb storage drive. But, I can still see my external USB which is a clone of that drive. Anyway I right clicked the data drive - security - advanced - permissions -...

I hope it's the case here. The reason I feel Razer intentionally limits it is because there's an "advanced" model, their advanced model for 2019 takes 64gb of ram, while their base takes 32gb ram. 32gb sticks have been introduced well before the 2019 models. I have the 2018 base so we'll see...

isn't there a thirdparty website that can tell you how much it actually takes? I know theres one for macs, then I put 16gb in my 2010 MBP when apple stated it would only take 8gb

Im sure razer will just make something up like apple would, so you buy someting more expensive, even if it does work. I'm wondering what the actual limitation is, like what is the science behind it and can it technically be modified.

Bump

Hey, I would love to get 64gb ram on this thing. Is there a custom bios floating around, or is that even possible? Technically the 8750h supports it, is it a hardware mobo bottleneck? Thanks!

Hey guys, I recently bought a low end LSI adapter for strictly reading to bypass the majority of sata 2 ports on my motherboard. The sequential reads/write are good (over 500mb), but the IOPs are cut in half sometimes when benched with Samsung Magician, which are most important in my line of...

You're right I knew that, sorry for making stupid. I used @ Bios and updated to F13, I'm currently in windows, going to install drivers and report back. I guess I've been jaded after all the years of Bios updates/roll-backs never helping. Thanks!

DId more digging on the flash issue, going to try this method https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-can-i-make-a-ms-dos-boot-disk-on-a-cdusb-for/9fd9067a-d327-4ba5-8aca-0f33501b87a4

What would this accomplish if I get into windows? I'm sure my motherboard will just read the R9 290 and go with that one. Yes I'm afraid of that also, don't see how a bios update would change anything unless specifie by vendor

Sorry what I meant is biox driver. Also, I just formated a USB flash as fat32 ms-dos, dragged the three necessary files over, started Q flash in my Bios: "the current flash utility is outdated". That's going from F12 to F13w. I flashed to F12 successfully in the passed this way. I need to...

Pull battery from Mobo does that require lots of tools? Like unmount my whole motherboard? I did reset while psu was unplugged and switched off. Driver is up to date, most current before newest beta

My bios is newest before the beta. The beta was created mostly for ivy bridge support, I'm sure it won't matter.

Update - I had a good tech house at it and they can't figure it out either. The card works in their stores computers but not my motherboard, wondering if this means I'm just screwed. I've also tried higher quality PCI-e 6pin EVGA connectors I used to have. At this point, I'm on hold with...

No idea how it's installed, how do I booot in Legacy mode? I have 3 hard drives witn diferent windows installed. I tried unplugging one at a time, none work

I'll try the DDU in safemode tomorrow. As for power, my 290 current takes 12 pins. For the 650 I'm using the same cables but only 6 pins from the card to 6 pins in PSU.

I unplugged the tower for a while, bio battery you think so? Here's more details: https://hardforum.com/threads/stuck-at-motherboard-screen-after-upgrading-video-card.1923942/

Also not working in PCIe 2.0 instead of 3.0

Nothing, then it goes to a black screen with flashing underscore sign in the top lef of the screen, as if it's looking for a hard drive. My Samsung 840 pro is set to primary. I read somewhere to turn off legacy usb, but that did nothing. I'm only able to access bios when my r290 is in Does...
