@TetraSky Thank you, that was the solution I was looking for. I knew that Windows Update likes to keep updates that were recently installed but over 10GB seemed excessive. @TheBean I had already run windows update before posting this and there were some updates that I installed. After that it said windows update was using something like 11.7GB and I restarted my computer which did bring it down to 10.8. After that I tried checking for updates again and it said I was up to date and tried restarting again but it wasn't going down from 10.8 so at that point I made this post.

This is with every box checked, I keep looking up and down the list but windows update cleanup wasn't there. Also after running it with every box checked it still didn't delete any of the update files.

The windows storage menu says that 10.8GB of space is being used by updates. This wouldn't be a big issue except that my C drive is only 120GB because my computer is older and m.2 nvme drives were expensive at the time. I tried looking up what is causing this but pretty much got nowhere because every guide I was able to find was talking about updates taking up space on installs where the user had updated from window 7 or 8 to windows 10. I built this computer around 6 years ago and it has only ever had windows 10 on it so there are no windows.old folders or anything like that. I also have tried running windows update and it says that I am fully up to date, I assume that it is holding on to old updates or something for recovery purposes but I'm not sure. I have also tried both disc cleanup menus as well as CCleaner and none give the option to remove any of these files. If anyone has any idea why windows update is using up so much space any info is appreciated.

the meshify looks awesome! the crystal is one of my favorites in terms of looks but it probably is designed with water cooling in mind.

just put as many fans as you can fit and have them set up to run at low speed unless your stuff starts getting hot and they can ramp up automatically.

Definitely like all your choices. I want to get that case a build a custom water loop in it. I currently have a a custom water setup but its in an nzxt phantom 410 which has a small little window so you cant really get the full view of it.

I tried that and it didn't seem to have any effect.

Well I tried messing around with some of the newer drivers and was unsuccessful. I actually used AMD's auto-detect tool and it had me download some very new crimson drivers for professional cards. I later discovered this was because it incorrectly detects the GPU as a different mobile professional GPU. The drivers seemed to work with at least as good or better performance in games however they were much less stable. I just ended up wiping all AMD drivers from the system and installing the recommended ones from the website again. Thanks for your help.

I got a Fury X new about 18 months ago and only just recently decided to mess around with overclocking it. I'm somewhat of an amateur at overclocking graphics as I only ever messed around with it once before on my old 7970. I am overclocking using Afterburner. For some reason I can change all of the settings on the card including memory but when I hit the apply button it just defaults back to 500MHz. This does not happen for any of the other settings all of which I can change and they will apply successfully. I am on Radeon software version 17.11.2 and Afterburner version 4.4.0. I also just updated the bios on my card to the latest official bios which didn't solve the problem. Also I know that the fury x is not meant to be a wonderful overclocker but I am having trouble getting it to run at even 1160Mhz core clock. Any information from somebody who is familiar with fury x overclocking is appreciated as I'm not able to find much information as to what voltage is safe to run or why afterburner cannot overclock my memory.

Definitely go through phases with music as I think most people do. Just looking through my spotify what I have been listening to most the past week or so has been Justice, Kanye, Meek Mill, NERO, Gucci, and a little bit of Biggie. Other stuff in there but these are what I have been listening to most.

This might be a stupid question. I have an old HP 8570w mobile workstation laptop. I comes with an Intel core i7-3820QM and an AMD FirePro M4000 GPU. If I go on the AMD website to look for a graphics driver for this old card the only one that shows up is called "AMD FirePro HP Mobile Software Suite Multilanguage" and the version is 15.201.2401. I currently have this driver installed but the problem is that I often have issues running newer games with it. I know this computer is nothing special and not a capable gaming machine but I was wondering if installing a newer driver might help to improve either the compatibility or performance of newer games. Any knowledge on this issues is appreciated.
