well thanks, that makes it better on me i can get more storage for the same price so I see it as a win

im still trying to find a work arround to do so, and it doesnt help this thing has 256mb of ram hahaha

yeah, im suprised it does, it even has my old games on it xddd

That's good to know that you are using Windows 11, and that you reinstalled the operating system completely already. However, did you let all the updates complete? Sometimes there are Optional updates that need to be installed as well. BIOS Update could be a crucial fix to your issues, especially when tackling memory stability. You're welcome, we're here to help at LTT forums! Great choice on the SSD, I would see if there were any Firmware updates available for it. Please make sure you have all your data backed up before installing Firmware or BIOS updates. Lastly, it's essential to make sure you don't lose power during these updates (Windows Updates included).

Yes, that is exactly what all of us are saying.

So what you are saying is that there is no reason to pay a premium for something you cant even take advantage of, so you would be better off buying cheaper gen 3's to get more storage at an affordable price.

Compared to a good Gen 3, no. Heck, a I've yet to notice a difference between a high end SATA SSD and a high end Gen 4 drive, let alone a Gen 3 and a Gen 4. Gen 5 drives are in an entirely different league of performance, but since nothing the average gamer does actually uses the extra bandwidth of the Gen 5 drives, they're rather pointless. For data center and other production workloads that actually use 12+GB/s of read bandwidth, they're a godsend, but for a gaming PC, they're overkill for no noticeable benefit. It's like getting a Ferrari just to head to the grocery store, it serves no real benefit and you would be much better off with something cheaper and more practical.

If you are just chasing for faster load times, going from Gen3 -> Gen4 -> Gen5 is not going to be noticeable faster. Going from HDD -> any form of SSD (even a SATA3 SSD) is a VERY significant change. In the chart @Electronics Wizardy linked, the Crucial T700 is a Gen5 NVMe SSD. The WD SN580 is a lower-end Gen4 NVMe SSD. The difference is 0.9s. You are not going to see... 33s vs 5s.

In miliseconds if not nanoseconds, yes If you compare an NVME with a standard HDD, then of course you will notice a VERY BIG difference. Even a SATA SSD is shit ton faster than a mechanical drive (HDD) (that's how shit HDD speed is) After that (i.e : SATA SSD to NVME Gen 3) the real world speed difference for casual stuffs is miniscule, like around 3 seconds at most for boot time. From a Gen 3 to Gen 4, the difference in boot time is like miliseconds. For let's say, something like loading initial shaders and stuffs when a game launch, it's so far only like 1 second difference at most to me. And that's comparing SATA SSD to Nvme. To fully take advantage of let's say a pro level Gen 3 drive or above's speed, you will need to transfer big sized file. No, not folder filled with hundreds of tiny files kind of "big", like chonky file kind of "big".

Either go up to the 6800XT (or better), or as someone already mentioned, 7800XT or 7900 GRE.

Look at these headphones: - Sennheiser HD 560S - Fiio JT1 - Beyerdynamic DT 990 80 Ohm And these AMP&DAC dongles: - Akliam PD4 - Truthear Shio - Moondrop Dawn Pro And top it all out with some decent IEM-s for gaming when you want to avoid gamer hair: - Simgot EM6L - Truthear Zero - Truthear Nova - Moondrop Lan - QKZ x HBB As for the microphone: - BM700 or BM800 + a Phantom power - a Fiio or similar desk mic

I would simply recommend Windows 11 Pro for your application, then I would follow these guides to fine tune it to your liking: Do keep in mind that there are hardware restrictions on Windows 11; unless it is when you're using Rufus, meaning: you will get the most out of your operating system if you are using Alder Lake (12th Gen) or greater, or Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000) or greater. At least to my knowledge. There are people who claim Zen 3 runs satisfactory enough on Windows 11, but there are also those that claim it doesn't as well. The same goes for pre-Alder Lake (12th Gen) Intel CPUs. There are those that claim it runs fine for them on these pre-12th Gen configurations (or pre Zen4), but then also those that say it's a nightmare where they revert back to Windows 10. Therefore, you might want to keep that advice as a consideration if you are running such hardware combinations.

Not significantly. Look here, all the reasonbly high end drives are extremly close in performance. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/crucial-t700-pro-4-tb/16.html Its gonna be way faster than a HDD, but the pcie gen doesn't matter for almost all workloads.

If i would go for the Sennheiser HD560S do i also need an amp?

-Run as admin -Check "MSI" for everything -Set interrupt priority to undefined for everything -apply -Restart If it doesn't fix your issue it'll at least make stuff faster. I suggested enabling MSI cause when disabled it caused the same issue for me over onboard audio in the past, cause some dumb drivers disabled it by default. MSI_util_v3.exe

Im using the crucial P3 1T ssd nvme.

I am using a gen 3 ssd with windows 11 which i completely forgot to mention. I did also reinstall my operating system. I will take a look at IHMO. i do have to double check my BIOS update but last time I checked it was up to date. Thank you verry much for your suggestions.

Gotta be honest with you i don't really care about open back but i will sure look into the Sennheiser. I allready have the momentum 4 and i like them. Do you have some good Closed back headphones you know and love? Sorry for the many questions...

Does it not give you better load times, I am still using a gen 3 ssd for my OS right now and have used it on games before and have noticed a difference than with it over a standard HDD, I never upgraded to a gen 4 just due to cost at the the time when they came out you just couldn't find a gen 4 ssd and when they came out they were pretty expensive. Now everyone makes one and the prices have gone down but I just haven't spent the money on one yet. So I have no first hand experience on how the speed and loading time on gen 4 ssd's are from gen 3 ssd's.

Veteran programers perfer split keyboard over qwerty and qwerty is not designed to be comfortable to type with to begin with. It is layout that way because early typewriter had a tendency to get keys stuck and laying out letter like that made it less likely, this problem doesn't exist on modern keyboard but the layout got carried over because existing typists did not want to retrain their muscle memory for a new layout.

If you want to go with DT990's you probably will need an external amp, luckily amplification is a solved problem and most USB-C dongles push enough power needed for Beyerdynamic headphones. For sub 200 euro you can't get much better than the Sennheiser HD560S (assuming you want open back headphones) and they sound substantially better than the 990's, no big treble spike (i absolutely hate 990's because of how much the treble bothers my ears) much more detail and better imaging (in games sounds will sound much more "around" you) and best of all, no fixed cable. Beyerdynamic get very overhyped, they used to be untouchable back in the day, but the modern market has surpassed every Beyerdynamic product out there. If you're not sure about open back headphones (or you just live somewhere noisy) then 200-ish euros is more than enough to get some of the absolute best closed back headphones out there
