    Partition large SSD or use slower SSD for OS?

    That's what I usually did but I heard that SSDs are so fast now and can handle a bunch of things at the same time that it doesn't matter anymore, not sure how accurate that is though. I'm completely fine with normal expected wear and replace SSDs when the drive remaining life % gets low, it's...

    Partition large SSD or use slower SSD for OS?

    Hey guys, I'll build my new system in a few days and I currently have these SSDs: 4TB Gen 4 WD_BLACK SN850X (just bought this one) 2TB Gen 3 SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus Even though I don't format often, I'd like it to be less of a headache when I want to do it backing up things, so a smaller OS...

    64GB DDR5 struggle with their XMP/EXPO profiles?

    I'm not sure if you misunderstood my post but the whole reason I posted this thread was to prevent running into such issues like crashing..etc and I would have settled for less RAM if that was the case since I specifically mentioned I'm not interested in manual overclocking outside of XMP/EXPO...

    64GB DDR5 struggle with their XMP/EXPO profiles?

    Thank you all for the replies and recommendations, much appreciated! I'll definitely be going for a 64GB setup then at 6000 CL30 preferably Hynix based. Still unsure about motherboards but Asrock seems to do less bandwidth restrictions between components from what I've seen, apparently some...

    64GB DDR5 struggle with their XMP/EXPO profiles?

    Hello everyone, I'm planning to upgrade to 9800X3D, I'd say I use my system around 65% for gaming and 35% for UE game dev which is nice to have more RAM in so I was hoping I'd be able to get a 2 x 32 RAM kit this time around. However I heard that higher RAM capacity struggle to run at higher...

    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Just an update now that I got my MSI 4070 Super Gaming X Slim for a few days. Here are my notes so far: - Card runs very quiet and cool when testing with 3DMark's Speedway and Unigine's Superposition benchmarks. - My GPU load was around 98-99% average during those so I assume my CPU isn't...

    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Thanks guys for the input, for coil whine searching around most people seem to agree it's a luck thing that could affect any brand and might have to do with the PSU combination as well. I seem to be hearing better things about the gaming X overall compared to the Ventus, I'll most probably end...

    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Hey everybody, I've been a bit out of the loop and I've always bought my GPUs from EVGA, sadly they don't offer them anymore and from searching around it seems MSI gives the least amount of headaches for warranty compared to the rest (ASUS and Gigabyte for the most part). I'm mostly interested...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    I doubt anyone here plays on EU, but I play on Odin, Light DC. Has been playing since 4-5 years now, the only MMO ever interested me with continuous good patch releases.

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    Yeah ilvl 90 is too low, ironwork gear from mor dhona is 120 that's upgradeable to 130, easy to get with poetics and it will easily be able to carry you up to level 55-56.

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    World mobs shouldn't be much trouble at all, that's very weird. What class are you playing and what's your level and item level? Are you sure you gear is not broken and needs to be repaired? (it happens, trust me). Obviously don't pull more than a single mob if you're not tank out there. Only...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    If you enjoy the game I'd suggest just skipping all the dialogue for that part and only watch the important cutscenes which will happen near the end of ARR, it won't take that long if you don't read through all those quests texts, or just pay $11 and skip the thing. HW onwards won't feel as...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    If you're not intending to go right into raiding, then you shouldn't skip HW and SB IMO, they're good expansions, I can understand skipping ARR though if you're early on there because the 100 quests between 2.0 to 2.55 still is one of the most annoying parts of the MSQ where many people give up...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    Why not just get it from SE NA store? I got my NA key from there and they sent me the early access codes fast. AFAIK they'll send early access codes as long as you buy before the official launch date on July 2nd.
