For my taste it's way overkill. And AM5 is king

During installation, you should add another partition to the storage drive instead of installing to the existing partition - I've never done it before, but I would expect the files to be removed, especially if you're removing the existing partition anyway. Either way, you should retain a backup of your data if it's important enough to you - either the data itself, or the time involved to recover it. On the question about having Windows installed in both the primary and secondary drive locations, it is doable, but I would disconnect the primary/original drive to ensure Windows doesn't do anything with that. It shouldn't, but we want to make sure it's not going to get tied to that installation at all.

It'll leave those files alone. Although, it might put a recovery partition or boot partition on the drives you don't want it to.

I wanted to say bent cpu pins maybe but you havent got any. So maybe reseat your cpu ? Is your Bios up to date ? Did you check your Ram with a Memtest86 ? Are you running at stock settings ? if not try.

You don't need an AIO with a 7600, you don't even need an aftermarket cooler...But a 20EUR TR Assassin will do the job Regarding case look at what you can have for around 80EUR that ships with 3-4 fans and looks good, Montech 903, Antec NX410, Deepcool CC560 Phanteks G360 is good too but close to 100EUR

Make sure to quote us so we can see your responses @YoungBladeshared a pretty helpful guide, all you need is a USB stick and Gigabyte's copy of the BIOS from their website so I hope that's doable for you

I don't trust the Windows installer with other drives available. Windows has a bad habit of sticking the boot partition or recovery partition on other drives. I haven't heard of it destroying data from a drive you didn't select, but I honestly wouldn't trust the Windows installer - it sucks. When I do a fresh Windows install, I disconnect the other drives so that there is only one drive in the system that I intend to remove all partitions from and install it to that. That way, there can't be any shenanigans.

oh well, would maybe the montech sky two be a better case and change the aio to a smaller 240mm and a cheaper one? something like this? https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/XsN2wg

Overheating - simple. Use a compressed air blower and blow out all the dust. A very common problem. A laptop can go from just about burning a finger on the underside to just about being able to tell that it is running after cleaning as it is so cool. As for others and installation of Linux Mint. What problems? Simple and straight forward. I had a Windows7 laptop to look at the past few days, what a mess, so limited.

I need help please read all of this. I have a problem with 2 out of the 4 RAM slots on my motherboard. I have a Gigabyte B550 UD AC motherboard. I'm also using OLOy DDR4 RAM 32GB 2x16GB Blade Aura Sync RGB 3600MHz CL18. If I put 1 stick in A1 and the other in B1 then turn the PC on it will stay on for a few seconds. Then turn off then turn itself back on. But it won't post. Also the same thing happens when I put a stick in A2 and the other in B2. I've also let it set there for over 20 minutes just in case it was doing memory learning or whatever. But it never did anything. Something else none of my other RGB in the case will turn on when all this is going on. Except for the RAMs RGB. Now if I put both sticks of RAM in slot A1 and A2 then turn it on all my RGB turns on it doesn't turn itself off and back on it just starts up and posts with no issue. I know the RAM is getting power because the RGB on the RAM will light up just the PC will not post unless both sticks are in A1 and A2. Someone please tell me anything?

I'm trying to flash my Management Engine. Until now nothing worked, even MSI declared forfeit. My current idea is to install a fresh Windows on one off my HDDs and retry from there. First question : do I need to remove the current OS drive to do that or can I just have 2 Windows installed and switch ? I've had Windows messes in the past. Second question : can I trust Windows to leave the existing folders and files alone on the drive where I'm installing ?

Thing is case and AIO are the problem, it's 230EUR out of 1300 for no performance, so you end up with a nice 1000EUR value build, but a bad 1300EUR build

The case and AIO are the two things that I think are the most worthy of change. A Ryzen 5 7600 absolutely does not need a 360mm AIO - the dual-tower Peerless Assassin 120 SE is available for just €37 in Finland and would be sufficient for any CPU on the platform, including the Ryzen 9 7950X - and that case is rather pricey compared to other options. You're basically paying an extra €150 just for aesthetics that don't add anything to the function of the PC. If that's what you really want, you do you, but it seems dubious to me.

I'm assuming an 270-300 watt PSU, so maybe a used GTX 1650 or 1660/super or RX 6600 will do. Avoid the low end stuff like the RX 6400 and 6500 and RTX 3050, the 3050 would be fine if the price was not so high.

Will ban anybody that asks again, welp, it was nice to dream.

Dlss plus’s frame get will get you close to you target dlss is better than fsr and nvdia frame gen is better i get 120 fps in forbidden west with quality dlss and framegen 4k

Buying an old dHell Opticrap is definitely a bad idea for gaming, it's ok for office/browsing only, or as a NAS maybe... Unless you swap case, PSU and board you'll be limited to cards just requiring PCie slot power of 75W, so nothing good nor even decent, and not even a lot cheaper duh There' not even a lesser evil : Intel A380, at least it has 6GB VRAM and work on 8 lanes, but is hamstrung without SAM/Rebar the 6400 has only 4 lanes, on PCie3 it just s*cks a$$ The 1650 is old, slow, and has only 4GB VRAM
