I'd like to know if the reworked IMC and/or StoreMI in series 2, ex. a 2600, is significant under any application. Or is the better performance all due to being faster. If a 1600X and a 2600 ran at exactly the same speeds are there any applications where a noticeable difference would be...

The egg has a promo ending 7/27 for this SSD, using promo code EMCTCVA22. Free s/h, not sure but prob have to use a link to get it. Sign up for their eBlast ? or similar emails.

I'm going for a cheap Ryzen build. In the future I may want to OC a better Ryzen chip. I think this https://preview.tinyurl.com/y6jktecl also shows if I shoot for boards with better VRM they'll help no matter how many cores & no matter how high you try to OC. (Not talking anything crazy like...

Waiting for Ryzen 3....

Yes did the jumper. Haven't removed the battery. Only got a balck screen until I did the flashdriver w/rev 1.0 (the original). Also re-did the grease. Boy I'm stumped. I'm certain I can revive the mobo. Well thanks for the help.

I changed the cpu fan setting under PC Health, back to 'auto' b/c PWM caused a lockup. Thought it saved but then couldn't Post. I got the orig bios from GB and unzipped unto flashdrive, then booted and it gives me the preliminary Bios screen w/keystroke choices. I press Del for Bios setup but...

Yup, tried that. Haven't removed the battery. What I for the life of me need to find out is: Can I actually get a menu and flash a bios from inserting a flashdrive and pressing power? Not to tangent away from my #1 question, but to reiterate: I believe the mobo didn't save that last bios change...

There are other stopgap solutions like buying components or a system used but for my 2c I'm waiting for Zen 3. I should be fine for another 6 - 9 months but then I've got to upgrade.

Replaced a fan on HSF and it ran fine for 3 days (no gaming) when set to auto fan mode but when I changed to PWM mode the system froze up after 2-3 hrs of surfing. I was able to enter bios and change back to auto but I believe while saving it borked and now can't enter Bios. Just led's, and...

That's pretty funny. But I understand some who worry about matching ram 'later'. never yet heard of 32GB helping gaming though.

Yeah these don't look bad but I'd like more quiet. But prices look good. I found the stats on Zalman CNPS7X LED and like that install seems easy. If I end up selling off pieces. Not interfere w/ram. I found a few more I may like: Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Quiet Low Profile, be quiet Pure Rock and...

Yeah I'd like to get the Wraith and another fan on it. I've read the early FX ones were later improved. Forget what to look for. The Vortex would work for now if I lived closer to it. Think I'll skip the AC 64 but the 64 plus looks interesting and cheap enough. I'll look into stats re: noise...

So was given an old system w/phenom II X4 965 BE and can't stand the fan. If I want to just replace the fan I've found these: CM sleeve bearing 80mm silent mdl R4-SPS-20AK-GP, Noctua NF-B9 Redux PWM (92mm), Nexus 80mm basic SP802512L-03 and I vy much like the Apollish Advance fan from an...

I have an hp pavilion, mdl 15-f010dx, with a broken screen. I hooked up the hdmi port to an 15" lcd using a dongle. But booting doesn't send any signal to the lcd. ( In the past I thought connecting an external screen superceded the laptops'.) Thinking there's no setting in bios re: external...
