Trying to decide on fans, need help.
TheShadow208 replied to TheShadow208's topic in New Builds and Planning
Yeah I might do that for now with my 7740x, and think maybe I should wait until they possibly make a 4th gen CPU for this socket, or do you think it's probably dead now? If not, maybe I can look into those ebay x299 chips for cheap On the fans, I really am a stupidly huge ascetic person, so I love how these fans look. The Bora isn't too horrible in price, about $20 per fan, maybe a little less since a 3 pack is $55 on Amazon. I just can't find alternatives that really fit the theme of white and silver and I worry about a lot of these cheaper brands that offer the same features (not saying arctic is a cheaper brand per se lol) -
I've been trying to decide between Lian Li Uni or the cheaper Bora digital fans They are going in a Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic that u already have 3 Bora Digital fans in. I need to decide at this stage weather to upgrade all to Unis or stay with Bora. If it helps, I like the silver metal look of the Bora Digitals. But I like the ease of use of the Uni Also side note, what would you guys suggest for a upgrade on CPU. I would like to stay with X299, since I do a lot of production work with Adobe, but would like to get better gaming performance than I get currently with my (dumb decision when I was younger) 7740X lol

I'm about halfway through the download on my wife's old slow laptop lol. Thats why it sucks to redo it. I think if this works and I CAN open the windows recovery options, id definitely going to try to completely wipe the drive clean, cause I know there's still stuff thats not necessary on it. I'd rather completely wipe any chances of conflicts off it
-
I don't have the typical stick type, but I've got a USB 3 hard drive that I use for this situation sometimes, so I'm redownloading it onto that just in case. I did try removing the ssd earlier but it still gave the same results as currently
-
Yep, same thing from both options. I'm going to try to remake my windows installation media for the 3rd time, just to make sure it didn't mess up that file or something, but other than that, idk why its doing this
-
Step 1 - turn on the computer and go into bios Step 2 - set the boot order to load the SD card with the windows media tool on it ( I know its on there cause it was working before this endless screen started happening) Step 3 - save and restart with new boot order Step 4 - let windows load into what SHOULD be the windows installation screen, but every time I get the windows boot manager error with status of 0xc0000098

I am doing that. Like I said, I've been trying different boot methods for the last 4 hours. All I have plugged in is my keyboard and mouse, the SD card, and my ssd, but I can't even boot from the SD card because no matter the configuration in the bios, it always takes me to the windows failed to start screen, I can't find a way around that screen.
-
I can't get to that screen. Everything I try, I end up on the boot manager screen again. Thats what I'm trying to explain
-
Yep. Thats exactly what I have on two drives, and no matter how I try to load it, I always end up on this screen. I feel like I've tried everything, been changing bios settings and trying different things for 4 straight hours. Whats weird is I have two boot options from my SD card, one of them has UEFI next to it, and the other doesn't. Both of them launch, but both end up on the same screen
-
This is what I get anytime I try to boot from any device I plug in for recovery.
-
Its not listed as a option at all in my bios, and now that I did what the guy above asked, my boot is like completely broken, I can't get anything to boot, not my ssd, not my windows recovery tools. Nothing.
-
So, I used the command prompt in the troubleshooting part of the media installation, and I got denied permission on the FixBoot, and it found the windows on my C drive, but then proceeded to say the drive cannot be found lol. Wut.
-
It seems since I reset my CMOS I have also lost the ability to enter boot manager. So now I have no access to windows either, and when I plug in my windows media, it still says the same thing. So, now I'm really lost.

Running a Gigabyte Designare EX x299

So, I have a Samsung 250gb M.2 with windows installed, and the only way I can boot into it is boot manager (I obviously no longer want to do this because I only have 1 OS) Everytime i try to boot into it like a normal person, I get the "Please restart and select a proper boot device" screen. The drive is currently the only drive installed, there are no USBs plugged in, and its set up properly in the bios for priority, I even tried resetting the bios and clearing CMOS. I'm at a loss..
