Re: Semi budget build

Well my issue is it will NOT post in pcie 1 even without nvme drive installed now, like the lane is dead or the cpu is not reading the vga commands. Both boards did same thing. Ive googled my butt off and tried every setting in the bios. I ran it a little while ago and the bios reported 70c idle tem...

Re: Semi budget build

Need some help here. So board number 2 looks like it may be bricked. I am starting to think either the cpu is bad, or the nvme drive is screwing up the mobo. When i Installed the nvme drive in M2_2 so it wouldnt limit my pcie 1 slot to 8x, it doesnt show in bios anywhere. I then moved the nvme drive...

Re: Semi budget build

Just ordered Ryzen 5 3600, gigabyte board B450 chipset instead of the x570. I may regret that later, but either way a step up and way cheaper. Ended up with an msi board, FX8350 and some ram so threw it together few weeks ago. Games much better, but still slow imo. Also picked up a second hand GTX10...

If anything, it would act like a P trap and keep bugs out. Might get a frog trying to live in it LOL.

Re: Counter Strike Ep 1 "Speed Hacks"

Played a BF2 server last night that when you jumped, you went way up in the air and floated around a bit. Switch to knife and it shot rockets out! Killed a guy with the knife rockets and it said I killed him with knife! Major hack server. Was ranked, but guy had final flag locked so there were 2 unc...

Re: How to install install Windows 10 as clean as possible (kill all the telemetry and cloud crap) - Updated 5/9/19

I installed 10 on my new to me garage clunker, and also a friends desktop. Clean install from latest ISO burned to bootable usb. During install, chose local, and then it asked me if I wanted a bunch of features like cortana n what not enabled. I turned all the switches to off and it seems to operate...

Re: Semi budget build

I noticed that! Newegg is sold out on a lot of stuff. Found the Asus Tuf with x570 on ebay for around 260ish. I'd rather save with a gigabyte board though. Think 32gb of ram is enough for decent gaming experience? Ive been out of this for so long I dont know whats needed to play a typical FPS at med...

Prev owner couldn't get it to work, turns out the dvd drive was ruining discs during windows install...making them unbootable near end of install so files missing...ect. Regardless its up and running well and a de...
