    Hard Drive Keeps Disppearing

    I know where you’re coming from. I had a hunch it could be the cable, but silly me keep trying to convince myself “nah it can’t be. Cables have never failed me before, so why now” I thought. Instead I started to think the problem could either be the drive dying itself despite what CrystalDisk...

    Hard Drive Keeps Disppearing

    Thank you so much for this! I’m an idiot. I’ve should’ve tried another cable before posting. Turns out it was indeed a bad cable. I’ve tested the drive with another cable and transferred/copy some large files. The drive doesn’t disappear anymore

    Hard Drive Keeps Disppearing

    One of my internal SATA hard drives ( 1TB Samsung 7200rpm ) keeps disappearing every time when I copy/transfer files to it. It also sometimes randomly disppears by itself too. In fact it actually just happened again as I was typing this.... Opening up disk management doesn't show the drive...

    I can find a lot info about the Noctua NH-D15(S) in combination with the 8700k, but none with the Noctua NH-U14S. Do you guys think that my Noctua NH-U14S will be sufficiënt if I want to overclock the 8700k say to a modest 4.8ghz? Is the Noctua NH-U14S compatible with socket 1151?

    Planning to do a Ryzen build down the line for video editing, rendering and such. Was wondering what are some good compatible air coolers that will handle an Ryzen overclocked to 4ghz. Also can the cheaper 1700 hit 4ghz easily or is that only achievable for the more expensive 1700X & 1800X?
