If that's the case, it's a shame it failed after only little more than a year of use, hopefully I can get help from Samsung customer service. I'm still troubleshooting, tried removing the protection through the "diskpart" command, and the attributes on the drive are currently as shown in the image. I'm confused since it has 2 settings, there's "Read-only" which is set to "no", and "Current Read-only State", which is set to "Yes"... couldn't find a way to change that one yet, and there's not much documentation about it around, most of them refer to the "Ready-only" attribute.

Last night the following happened to me: Was playing Genshin Impact while watching some videos on Youtube through Chrome. Suddenly, the game started glitching, some textures and models wouldn't load, and a few seconds later it crashed. Tried closing the game, it would stay in the "Genshin Impact is not responding" window, without ever closing. Opened Task manager, was able to close the game through ending its process, regular occurence, nothing wrong, right? Wrong. At the same time I noticed I wasn't able to open the explorer, could not open anything from the taskbar or open the start menu. Went back to Task Manager, clicked on the Windows Explorer process and clicked "Restart". Again, common occurence, except it did not restart the explorer. The pc was on a soft lock, I couldn't click anything to properly shut it down or reboot. "Ok, no problem" I thought, and clicked the power button on the case to initiate shutdown. Nothing happened. Had to force it to shut down by holding the power button. — Addendum: This whole time, Chrome was working fine, there was no "hard freeze" on the pc. Turned it on again, everything seems fine, programs start loading up... Some errors start appearing, Dropbox couldn't start and showed a message saying it's "Usually because of a permissions error" (image below, Dropbox error.jpg). Steam wouldn't start, saying it couldn't access its installation folder. Genshin would error when it did file verification, saying there's a file or network error. My photoshop profile returned to default state, no custom brushes, actions, with the default UI. Most things were working fine, Chrome, Discord, ICue, Razer Synapse, Power Toys; and apparently still are, no changes to function or profiles. Since it was a permissions error, I started checking my drives and noticed pretty much all folders in all 6 drives, when I opened their properties, had the checkbox on "Read-only" checked. Selected all the root folders on the 2TB drive my Steam was installed, opened their properties and unchecked "Read-only" and applied it, was then able to open Steam, it started updating a lot of games, some would say "Disk Write Error" (image below, Steam error.jpg) Started searching on Google for similar occurences, couldn't really find another case of the same thing that happened to me, and most of the solutions involved pretty much what I've done, selecting the folder and unchecking the "Read-only". I've seen some posts about how everything returns to read-only again once you reboot the computer and, as of writing this, I couldn't test it because there's a lot of data being copied out of my drives to an external backup and I probably won't be able to reboot for the next few hours. So I'm now at complete despair, it wasn't only the drive that contained genshin/steam/dropbox (which is a 2TB Samsung 980 pro NVME, bought less than a year ago), but all folders on all drives were affected, it seems completely unreasonable to me that such a thing would happen so suddenly. Any help or more troubleshooting steps tips would be appreciated. — While writing this, and continuing troubleshooting, I noticed that I can't delete any files on the aforementioned 2TB drive, the one that contained Genshin/Steam/etc (be it set to read-only or not). Some files I can't even copy, with the message that it "Can't read the source file or disk" showing up. So far, files on other drives seem unaffected and are apparently working fine... Tried copying something to it, apparently the whole drive is write-protected (image below, K Drive security.jpg), tried some ways to remove write protection on it, with no success so far. PC Specs: Running Windows 10 21H1 Ryzen 9 5950x RTX 3090 64GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB RT (4x16GB) 3600MHz C18 Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula OS is installed on a 1TB 980 Pro NVME, use a 2TB of the same model for games and programs (the one that apparently is causing the trouble). A 8TB Samsung 870QVO, a 500gb Corsair Force LE SSD, and a couple of 2 and 4 TB old mechanical Seagate hard drives.

Sidepanels were open because I was first running and testing it, so I was still tweaking around and decided not to close it yet. It is closed now, though. I'm waiting for a Hyper 212X to arrive, it'll probably be done in a couple of days, then i'll change it. It was, yes. I couldn't manually change it to 1.25V, i'm not very familiar to BIOS tweaking. The only option that had a voltage value in it, would not allow me to chance this value if when changed to "manual" instead of "auto". Couldn't find a straightforward enough guide on how to change it, most of them mentioned LLC values and some other things i'm not familiar with. What I did in the bios was enable the UEF (not sure if that's right) power saver and it helped a bit. The voltage wouldn't go over 1.4 anymore (as seen on another AIDA test I'll mention later). The strange thing is that in the bios, it does say the voltage is at 1.296. /// To try something else, I rendered a 1920x1080 video in Sony Vegas, and it does put cpu load at over 95%. The result was that the voltage was around 1.2V during the time vegas was open, but it still reached 1.4V during AIDA stress test. The temperature reached a maximum of 77ºC during AIDA test and low-60'sº during rendering, but still with the large amplitude and spikes. The clock was stable at around 4.0GHz. Another test was a 10-minute gaming session of Titanfall 2, the voltage was around 1.2-1.35V, with very few spikes over that. Should I just leave it as it is, or still be worried? I will change the cooler to a Hyper 212X in a few days.

So I've just made a new build and went to test the temperatures through AIDA. It's an I7-6700k, cooled by a 4-year old (but thoroughly cleaned) Akasa Venom Voodoo (with Arctic Silver 5 as thermal paste), both mounted on a Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. The case is a NZXT H440 with both side panels open. Ambient temperature at 25-27º I'm not a veteran at high-end build but, I find these results... bizarre. The amplitude of temperature is far too wide, jumps from 50 to 76 in mere seconds and keeps on oscillating, is it normal nowadays? I'd be glad if someone could see the AIDA result and enlighten me on what's going on (also, note the CPU usage graph is bigger, but that's just because I changed the temps report to every 1 second instead of 5 in the middle of the test). Along with it, I noticed the voltage was at 1.4+V and clock at ~4.1 GHz during the test. I haven't overclocked it, shouldn't it be around 1.2V with this clock? (PSU is XFX XTR750 750Watt) And, what would be the target temperature here? And at how many degrees should I start to worry?

Well, I'm making a new build and have some doubts about CPU cooling. My current build (the relevant parts, at least) consists of an Intel I7-3770K (LGA 1155), mounted on an ASUS P8H77-M Pro; I'm currently using an Akasa Venom Voodoo to cool the CPU. It's about 4 years old. I will upgrade to an I7-6700K (LGA 1151) mounted on an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming. My doubt is if the Akasa Venom Voodoo would fit the new motherboard and cpu – since there's no description about LGA 1151 in the manufacturer's info (probably because there were no LGA1151 parts back then? idk) – or should I replace it with a Cooler Master Hyper 212X? I'm not interested in overclocking it or anything, I just would like to keep the Akasa Venom Voodoo because of its looks, as I find the Hyper 212X sort of unappealing. Tl;dr: 4-year old Akasa Venom Voodoo fits LGA1151? Is it worth to keep using a 4-year old CPU fan instead of a brand new Hyper 212X? Also, just ran a 10-min stress test on AIDA: CPU cores 1-4 temperatures averaged between 60-65º, CPU temperature at ~55º (Room temperature ~28º). Thanks in advance for any info.
