My gaming rig's mobo is an older ASUS Maximus Hero VII. The board disables items when in "m.2" mode. I also have a Asus TUF Z270 that I don't see anything listed as being disabled when using m.2 drives. So my questions about the ASUS TUF Z270 are this. 1. It looks like it has two M.2 Slots...

Absolutely what I did! No regrets!

I currently have a 5 year old 1 TB SSD for my OS drive. I got a Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 2TB during Black Friday. I'm wondering if I should replace my OS drive with the 2TB NVMe (cloning the drive), or if I should just add the drive for storage instead. My current OS drive floats around 100 GB of...

I'm completely new to VR and despise the idea of using the Quest 2, since Facebook wants to be a gate keeper for entry. The videos I've seen of this headset make it look like an enticing and viable alternative; but all the reports of lost tracking on the controllers has me concerned. I see...

That's a good price, for sure. Also, could I use a PCIe Adapter like this, to occupy my open PCIe slot, while also using the open M.2 slot on my mobo. Or am I limited to using 1 M.2 at a time?

Salutations! I'm wanting to transfer my SSD OS Drive to an M.2 and use the SSD space for a games/media drive. I'm unsure of which M.2 to purchase, as I'm looking to keep it under $300. Here's my Motherboard. Also, could I use a PCIe Adapter like this, to occupy my open PCIe slot, while also...

When I read this, I did a little digging. for processing DSP and Audio, it looks like "traditionally" the more cores, the better. Thanks for pointing that out. I haven't had an AMD CPU in over a decade; and often don't even look in the direction. This makes me think it's best to do some more...

Really it's only to use my card and get the same as cash for 12 months. The total cost in parts higher than outright from other stores is about $60. I'm fine with paying that, to make sure I can get in on summer sale's for music gear. After much thought though... I decided to get the ASUS TUF...

Giving this one small brush-up, since I updated the mobo.

Thanks for the reply! For the RAM, is this more what I should be running? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-vengeance-led-4-pack-8gb-pc4-21300-ddr4-dimm-desktop-memory-kit-black/5580492.p?skuId=5580492&productCategoryId= As for the Motherboard, is this comparable to the Asus Tuf...

I figured out how to switch my keyboard to write in AZERTY, instead of QWERTY. The Gamepad section of my keyboard (that has the same buttons as the gamepad in question) switched as well! That means I should be able to reverse the gamepad, when it comes in, right? I really don't want to mess...

Can this Gamepad which is in AZERTY format, be made to work like it's QWERTY counterpart? Obviously the buttons won't mystically change letters, but... Can the unique rounded nav keys can be: Q, W , E A, S, D Instead of: A, Z, E Q , S, D This gamepad is the only one I've felt comfortable...

I want them to hurt for the sake of hurting.
