    Question Should I upgrade my motherboard purely to overclcok?

    Is it worth upgrading my motherboard solely to overclock my CPU? I am running an i9-9900k on a Gigabyte 360HD. Yes, I know, I'm stupid and didn't do my research - I purchased an unlocked CPU for use on a motherboard with a chipset that doesn't support overclocking. Definitely goofed on that...

    Question HDD BIOS password appeared without being set

    In case anyone is interested, the service guide for this computer indicates that it is not officially spec'd for NVMe drives, and while it does technically support M.2 SATA SSDs, the service guide only indicates a small number of M.2 SSDs were tested. So, I'm going to chalk this one up to this...

    Question HDD BIOS password appeared without being set

    I'm experiencing an SSD problem that has really stumped me. Here's the background: On a second computer, an Acer Aspire ATC-780A, I installed an M.2 6GB/s SSD (M and B keyed). It worked well for about a year, and then, with increasing frequency, each time I cold booted the machine, I would get...

    Question Use Intel Quick Sync along with NVIDIA gpu?

    Thanks to all, especially @coercitiv and @VirtualLarry for these responses. I poked around in my BIOS and while I don't have the IGD Multi-Monitor setting per se, I was able to change a setting that enabled my integrated graphics. I think I'm all set.

    Question Use Intel Quick Sync along with NVIDIA gpu?

    Greetings, I have an NVIDIA 1030 GT that, sadly, does not support NVENC encoding. I do, however, have an Intel processor that supports Quick Sync. Can I still use my NVIDIA GPU as my primary video card, but also still enable Quick Sync for applications that support hardware encoding?

    Question Wondering if this GPU will fit on my motherboard

    I have a Gigabyte B360 HD3 motherboard. I'm debating whether to upgrade my graphics card to a 2080 Ti founders edition whose dimensions are 267 x 116 x 35. Based on some rough eyeballing, I'm not sure this card would even fit on my motherboard. I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there...

    Question PCI Link width is 4x, but should be16x -

    Right. What I meant was that my video card has a 16x slot even though it only supports 4x, so it can be a little confusing to distinguish between the slot length and the speed. But, like I said, rookie mistake.

    Ah. What a rookie mistake on my part. Confusing the link width with the bus speed. But then again it is kinda confusing that they use the same measurements...

    Question PCI Link width is 4x, but should be16x -

    Greetings, I have a Gigabyte B360 HD3 motherboard, with an MSI 1030 GT graphics card that supports PCIe 16x 3.0. The graphics card is plugged into my PCIe 16x slot, but is only operating at 4x. According to the motherboard manual, this slot does not share bandwidth with any other slots, so I...

    Question Replace side panel with glass?

    I have a Corsair Carbide 100R "Silent Edition" case, and am thinking about replacing the side panel with glass. I do see Amazon sells a 100R with a window side panel, but I'd have to purchase the whole unit. I've also checked Newegg and eBay and can't seem to find the side panel alone. Does...

    Question Question regarding PCIe SATA controller card speed

    Thanks for the clarification. Also, your answer helped me realize that I was asking a dumb question to begin with. SATA3's 6.0Gb/s transfer speed equates to about 750MB/s, which is well within the PCIe version 3.0 spec for a single lane.

    Question Question regarding PCIe SATA controller card speed

    I have a Gigabyte B360 HD3 motherboard, with 6 PCIe slots conforming to the PCIe version 3.0 spec. I recently installed a SATA controller on one of the open PCIe x1 slots. Unfortunately, I'm a little confused over how to read the various PCIe speed and throughput specifications and how that...

    Question DisplayPort for Ultrawide monitor

    Thanks for the suggestions. I just placed an order for an MSI GT 1030, which has both HDMI and DisplayPort - exactly what I need. I am curious about running the dedicated GPU and IGP at the same time. Which graphics driver is Windows going to use? What if I were to play a game? How does Windows...

    Question DisplayPort for Ultrawide monitor

    Thanks so much for your response. After doing some research, I've located what I think will be a suitable budget card. Is it really as simple as popping the new GPU into my motherboard, plugging in the monitor, and booting up? I was under the impression that adding a dedicated GPU to my system...

    Question DisplayPort for Ultrawide monitor

    I recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and only now just realized that there are apparently limitations to HDMI 1.4 that prevent me from using the "optimal" resolution and refresh rate of this new monitor, which is 3440 x 1440 @ 60 Hz. Instead, I am limited to 3440 x 1440 @ 30 Hz. I have...

    Question Adapter to reverse SATA power plug?

    I recently purchased a converter kit for my 5.25'' drive bay that allows me to store 2 2.5'' hard drives and a 3.5'' hard drive. Unfortunately, due to the way the drives are oriented when they are all hooked in, it's not possible for me to plug in power cables for the 2.5'' hard drives because...

    Question Blu Ray device showing up as ATAPI

    Hello, I recently purchased a slimline ODD. It connects via a slimline adapter to one of the SATA ports on my motherboard. I've noticed that various hardware info programs are reporting that this is an ATAPI device with a bus rate of 1.5 Gbps/sec. Is it normal for ODDs to appear as an ATAPI...

    Solved! Upgrading motherboard - should I reinstall Windows 10?

    This is probably beyond my expertise to offer any assistance. I would think that any reputable program for cloning would do the trick, but I don't know if the fact that you've got a raid setup changes the equation. I noticed you posted in my other thread regarding the issue I initially had...

    Question Windows 10 won't boot after cloning to an SSD drive

    I recently installed an M.2 NVMe SSD drive and cloned the Windows 10 installation on my SATA drive to the SSD. Everything was working perfectly. Windows was booting up properly and was blazing fast with the new SSD. Then, I decided I would format my SATA drive that previously had my Windows...

    Solved! Moving Windows 10 from a 3.5 HDD to an SSD

    Reporting back on this. I installed the MVNe drive today, cloned Windows 10 over to it via Macrium Reflect and holy bazinga. It's a night and day difference. It's orders of magnitude faster, and didn't have any problems whatsoever (well, it was initially a little hard to get the screw out of my...

    Why would an NVMe drive make a difference, do you think? Isn't this the same basic process if a SATA drive fails?

    Question M.2 connector and MVNE

    Yes, I think I am reading this the same way, i.e., because PCIe x4 is supported, it accepts NVMe SSDs.

    Question M.2 connector and MVNE

    @Ajay I was under the impression that the PCIe x4 support means that an NVMe drive is supported. Do you read this differently?

    I'm considering moving my Windows 10 installation from a 3.5 HDD to an NVMe SSD. I'd like to preserve my current Windows 10 installation and just move it over to the new SSD. Would the following steps do the trick? Create a Windows 10 system image (using the built-in Windows 7 system image...

    Question M.2 connector and MVNE

    Greetings, I'm trying to figure out if my motherboard's M.2 connector supports NVMe. I think it does, but may need a second opinion! I have a Gigabyte B360 HD3. According to the manual, I have two M.2 connectors: - 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe...

    Question New motherboard; but can't figure out how to overclock

    Actually no, I built this one myself. I guess I just goofed and didn't realize I was getting the budget chipset. It really is a huge leap over my previous CPU, which was an i5-7400. So I'm still happy. Maybe in a year I'll swap out the mobo and do some overclocking so that I feel like I'm...
