Yeah, unfortunately the installer doesn't ask for a key but i got it. I can upgrade with the generic key and use the legit one afterwards when it asks for one. The generic key for windows 10 pro is VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T for anyone wondering or having a similar issue.

I do have the keys, they come on a little piece of paper with the dvd. Upgrading doesn't seem to work with any of them, the error 0x004f014 comes up when i try.

You obviously didn't read what my post said.

I have been upgrading all of my devices to windows 10 pro since i got a nice deal on a bunch of physical dvd copies but i am having a problem installing windows on one of my laptops. I used the official microsoft media creation tool to create a usb and i've been using that to perform the installations and the tool unfortunately installs both the pro and home version on the usb drive. This particular laptop came with windows 10 Home pre-installed and and when i boot from the usb drive it automatically selects windows 10 home as the os to be installed and doesn't let me change it anywhere, presumably because the bios has the oem key integrated into it and that installer reads this. Is there any way to get around this? Does anyone know where i can download a win 10 pro iso? Thanks!

Heat?

if ti were to actually pull that much power you'd hear a pop, see smoke, kill your card, motherboard and cpu at the same time.

Don't think there's a way. Although it's way better than it was in previous windows versions ;p.

Huh never seen such a thing before. I currently have my a harddrive under the gpu so i'd still have to get rid of the h105. But i plan on replacing my current card with a 1080 later this month so changing the heatsink on it at this point is unnecessary.

Oh god no, its a part of the windows os.

Working on it, but unfortunately i have to get rid of the h105 for to make room for my hdds so that i can ultimately get an open-air cooled gpu and get rid of that loud turboprop 970 :P.

I have spent many nights lying in my bed unable to fall asleep due to my computer being turned on just to download some 50GB game over the span of a couple of days. And many a time have i been completely unable to focus on my homework due to the loudness of my H105 and my 970 Turbo hair dryer. But enough is enough, time has come for me to finally change that. I plan on changing my system into a completely inaudible one over the next couple of weeks. I currently run an H105 cooling an 4790k, poorly, with two stock SP120 fans that came with it along with a GTX 970 Turbo from ASUS in my sleek Ncase M1 without any other fans in the system. These two are currently the only two components in my build that actually make any noise aside from the not so quiet mechanical hard drive and the unnoticeable PSU fan, but they make so much of it that i have gotten progressively more annoyed with it over the last 10 months since i actually built the system and now i cannot stand it anymore. Time for change has come. I have been scouring the heatsink market in search of the single largest heatsink that fits inside this tasty ncase of mine and i believe i have found the largest possible thing that should barely fit inside and still leave room for the hdd bracket and that thing would be the Be Quiet Dark Rock TF. But the ting is that it comes with two non-retail 135mm silent wings fans. Having no clue how loud and how well these fans perform i immediately thought about replacing them with a pair of noctua's nf-a14 but i have no clue if it would even be worth it. I don't care about how these fans look because the ncase doesn't have any side panel windows, so i won't be looking at it, i mostly care about the acoustic and thermal performance of these fans. I have heard many good things about both noctua and be quiet! fans, both in terms of performance and their silence and the difference ain't much on their retail fans which these stock be quiet ones are not. I have been unable to find anyone actually testing the heatsink with any other fans than the ones that come with it and therefore i must seek advice from the hivemind that is LTT. Thanks for your advice.

This happens when the game runs at above 60 fps without v-sync because the in-game physics are tied to the frame rate. This is often a problem with screens that run at a refresh rate higher than 60 due to the game not running at a higher frame rate than intended. GFEs preset contains an fps lock to fix that.

I once bought a gaming laptop for the very same reason. The regret was so real. Gaming laptops are heavy as hell and with all the books i had to carry i nearly broke my back. Don't recommend. I now have an ultrabook for school and a desktop for gaming at home. It's also the cheaper and more powerful option which is why i recommend you do the same.

bro its not that late lel
