Both my 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus (OS - 2yr old) and HP EX950 (Game drive - 3 yr old) have write degradation. OOB seq. writes were over 3000 MB/s, but now 2300 MB/s with plenty of unused space. The Samsung has never been filled above 50% or abused with stress tests. I'll aim for a WD going...

The wording says it will take a few hours and make it harder for somebody to recover data. Others mentioned it writes zeros so I wager it is a full format.

Just found out Windows 11 reset has a "clean the drive fully" option. That should be good enough on it's own. Makes my life easier. Thanks all.

Thanks for the suggestions, but those options will wipe the entire drive. I'd imagine that might wipe the recovery partition / files preventing me from resetting Windows 11 to OOB.

I need to return a laptop, but want to wipe personal data before resetting Windows 11. Would the following effectively sanitize personal data? Delete personal files Empty recycling bin Run h2testw - "all available space" I believe it leaves test files behind; search and delete them. Use Windows...

3060 Ti 12GB does not exist; however, 3060 12GB does and is slower. This guy is selling a bunch of what you want. https://hardforum.com/threads/fs-multiple-gpus-3060ti-3070s.2033429/

Since it is OOS - Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, BH Photo, Western Digital have it at $250.

You can actually use Windows 11 without activating. There will be a watermark, not be able to be personalized with desktop backgrounds, colors and other items under Personalization settings. Perfectly usable. I'd image a deactivated key will revert back to the above.

Understood, thank you.

I wonder if it is just my account. Anyway to reset all the preferences and settings for my account?

How do I enable Windows 11 Hardforum notifications? All of the "Receive a notification when someone" are checked under preferences. I see alerts populating in the top right bell icon. I enabled Chrome notifications and popups / redirects for Hardforum. Popup blocker is disabled for Hardforum...

Arguably the Montech Titan Gold ATX 3.0 1000W @ $119.99 or 1200W @ 139.99 is a better deal. A tier + Gold Highlight - "Best units in the tier, proven by professional reviews." https://www.amazon.com/MONTECH-1000W-High-End-Gaming-Supply/dp/B0BPXQZJV4 Edit: Deal dead lol.

Didn't miss much, they cancelled the orders citing price mistake. :(

Only did the tutorial once, maybe I need more time for the "modern" controls. Scroll wheel zooming is useless, but right click + W or S is much faster. Haven't tried the traditional controls or whatever it is called.

If you are still looking for drives let me know how much. Sandisk Extreme 240GB 100% health. Ran and passed extended test today. See attached.

Selling on eBay is a risk. All it takes is one scammer to file an item not as described and you will be in a world of pain. Buyers can file a credit card dispute which will charge a dispute fee if you lose. Typically $10 to $35. EBay fees are ~13.25%. Shipping is expensive for a 3090 - weight /...

See this techpowerup chart for temperature and noise where the TUF beats the Gaming OC. The Gaming OC model is one step above the Windforce. Bigger cooler. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super-gaming-oc/39.html

I saw that thread, but they use the Innogrit IG5236 controller which has a bad rep. Hopefully those Kioxias have updated firmware.

On Amazon search thermalright nvme. Very affordable nvme heatsinks. 55C idle is quite high so low profile coolers might not meet your temperature goals, but decent improvement over stock mobo heatsink. Get the biggest you can that will fit the top M.2 slot. Use the ASUS heatsink for the lower...

Is it passing time spy stress test 99%+? Won't help solve the issue, but might provide clues. Only had a 4090 for two weeks with my 5800X3D. 37155 on graphics score time spy. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/44188634

PayPal will deny disputes as long as the scammer provides a "delivered" tracking number to your city. Even their executive offices (via State DOJ complaint) said, "we conducted an additional review and confirmed no PayPal errors occurred when denying your Claim based on the evidence provided by...

Now Amazon is laying off hundreds in Prime Video and MGM divisions. So much for the ad revenues. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/10/amazon-layoffs-hundreds-of-jobs-cut-in-prime-video-and-mgm-studios.html

I wonder if those requirements factor in upscaling and is it targeting 60 or 30 fps. I prefer gaming at > 60 fps. At least the devs confirmed DLSS3 + FG and FSR2, but with the delay I bet they will integrate FSR3. Anyways delayed to March 8, 2024. However Fleet Command and Collector's Edition...
