partymarty reacted to Crunchy Dragon in AMD or INTEL?
Intel is outright better due to higher single thread performance which is used in most games, but Ryzen is the best price/performance you can have.
It really comes down to how much you have to spend on a rig and what the best CPU for your budget is.
For example when I built my rig, I could have bought a Core i3-8100 or a Ryzen 5 1600. Kind of a no-brainer at that point, in this case Ryzen was better.

partymarty got a reaction from Laputacake in SSD not detected in laptop
I manged to install windows 10 on the 500gb SSD.
They way I did it:
I downloaded the oldest windows 10 version I could find.
Did some tinkering with the MBR (Master Boot Record).
Started a custom windows 10 installtion (waited for at least 2 hours for it to reach to screen where I could pick which drive I wanted to install it on).
Installation gave an error 2 times.
The third time it did install correctly and is now working a 100%.
I only have to do the updates for the last 2 years with MediaCreationTool.exe (from the Microsoft website)
Thanks for all your help yesterday, really appreciated your commitment helping me ❤️

partymarty reacted to LukeSavenije in OnBoard Graphics
yes. because it "supports" a intergrated gpu if it's on the cpu itself, which is on the 2200g and 2400g, but not on the 1300x
yes

That one is great to use, cuz it won't fry your parts if you spill something.
Great choice!

Stop using diskpart. Just wipe them completly as if they're new. Don't even format them and try to get to windows setup and go on custom and windows will do all that.

No boot device because it has no windows installed. In windows setups does the drive appear?

You said you were using PS so assumed you were able to use windows with another drive. If it doesn't show in the bios its either not installed correctly or DOA

Okay I will just wipe them like they're brand new. Will report back to you!

partymarty got a reaction from Tom Cat in New Cpu Which one?
For 500 euro, just pick yourself an Intel Core I7-8700k.

partymarty got a reaction from Tom Cat in New Cpu Which one?
He bought a 1080ti, so I think there is a good budget (probably). I would go high-end if you've already purchased a 1080ti. So I would take a 8th gen i5 or i7.

partymarty got a reaction from PepsiBandit in What level build is this considered?
I would say level 6, maybe, just maybe, level 7.
Kidding, its defenitly 'high-end'.
8700k, 1080ti, 16gb of ram. Ofcourse it's high end.

partymarty reacted to Yoinkerman in "Sata III" M2.SSD not fitting with my SATA cable
I would just chalk it up to experience and spend the $40 on a 240gb ssd

Or $24 on a 120gb ssd

You get a lot more space and don't have to buy a funky adapter

I can give you some options, for a SSD that you can connect?
1- Transcend SSD360
2- Transcend SSD370
3- HP SATA 2,5"
4- Sandisk Z400
Those are small (32GB), cheap SSDs in my region (The Netherlands)

It's an M.2 drive. Those use connectors on your motherboard. The protocol is still "sata", but the connection is different.
"M.2 SSD Solid State Drive"

partymarty got a reaction from __________ in Difference between the Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING , MAXIMUS X Hero and code
No idea how this spec site counts headers, but you're right
Was too lazy to look at mobo layout, was lazy, got punished.:)

partymarty got a reaction from __________ in Difference between the Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING , MAXIMUS X Hero and code
Think they offer the same amount of fan headers. Rest of the information is great <3
Z370-E :
Case fan headers 3x 4-pins
CPU fan headers 2x 4-pins
Maximus X:
Case fan headers 3x 4-pins
CPU fan headers 2x 4-pins

partymarty reacted to WereCat in Question about PCIe lanes with 970 PRO M.2 drive
That just proves that its using the x4 lanes from the Chipset and not the x16 lanes from the CPU.

partymarty reacted to Velcade in Difference between the Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING , MAXIMUS X Hero and code
Both are great boards there are a number of differences but in regards to performance (FPS or applications or general overclocking ability) they will essentially be the same.
In this respect, the biggest difference is the VRM design and components they are higher performing with better efficiency and lower operating temperatures. Think about it like buying a cooler. You can get a Noctua U12S or Noctua U14S both are great and both allow for generally the same OC range but the 14S will offer lower temps. In most situations, this does not make a bigger difference but some users prefer to have something running at a lower temp.
Then again if you really were looking for pure price to performance you could drop down even further to the Z370-A and still have an outstanding OC with great quality and features and functions.
Keeping the direct comparison in play some other key differences that increase the cost and are dependent on your want and needs for your build.
The Maximus line has a more advanced (higher end audio design) which features a specially binned version audio codec while also having a DAC chip onboard with a few other improvements. If you have a decent pair of headphones you will be able to hear the difference. If you love audio it is a nice upgrade.
For serious memory OCers the topology on the board is optimized for higher frequencies. if you are not considering 3800+ DIMMs do not worry about this.
The Maximus line has additional onboard headers and buttons generally for bench testing setups and enthusiasts (start button, retry button, debug led etc).
The Maximus line offers more back IO (USB ports)
The Maximus line offers more fan headers.
The Maximus line offers on board CLR CMOS button - some OCers really like this but if you use our Auto Tuning technology feature which is on both boards you will generally not use this button. It is more so suited for manual OCers
The Maximus line offers USB BIOS FLASHBACK - This is a nice option in the event you need to update or recover your UEFI ( BIOS ) on a low level. even if the system does not post or you do not have a CPU, Memory or Graphics Card installed. You just need a working PSU and connected and you can directly update the UEFI.
