In Canada so CAD, the P1 would be $109 500GB.

I want to purchase a 250GB M.2 SSD and the only thing I plan to have on it would be my OS. Around Black Friday I might purchase a 1TB (SN550) for gaming purposes since I have 2 M.2 slots (ASUS X470-F). It seems with either option I'll never be able to fully utilize the NVME unless I'm transferring large files. I can get the SN750 for $74.99 and the A2000 for $64.99, is the extra $10 worth it for the increased speed if I'm only using it for the OS? Reliability wise which is better WD or Kingston? I've never used a Kingston product before but I've always used WD Black HDDs and have yet to see one fail.

What kind of temperatures do you get with the ML240R? I have the same chip.

With the stock cooler right now I see 75c under full load and typically 60-65c while gaming, stock temperatures are around 30c. I'm looking to upgrade the cooler and I ideally don't want a heavy, bulky air cooler hanging off of my MB. For this reason I have been looking into AIO coolers and I really like the looks of the Cooler Master ML240P Mirage. It also has the added benefit of being able to see the pump so I'll know if that stops working and I can just throw my stock cooler back on. Currently I can get the ML240P for $140 CAD, does anyone use this cooler, what are your temperatures like? My main question is, by upgrading to an AIO over the stock cooler will I see better temperatures, and by how much? I'm sold on a 240, current case is the Cooler Master Masterbox 5, I would be purchasing the Cooler Master H500 so I could top mount the radiator.

I have the same CPU and same MB, I've been having issues trying to OC my RAM to the rated specs of 2666MHz. My system is stable at 2400MHz so try that. Whenever I try and go over 2400MHz my system is very picky when posting, sometimes it will post just fine yet other times it will fail to post twice then post just fine.

Contacted WD support on Dec 9th, and to this date still no response from them. I also ran the extended test, that all passed. My dad has another WD 2TB Black, model WD2002FAEX which makes no noise when it gets shut down. I have model WD2003FZEX which does make a noise on shut down. I'm wondering if WD added anything to this drive that allows the drive to make this noise... Maybe something that slows down the platters instead of them spooling down on their own?

Yeah, but I have a 4-6 year old 1TB WD Black and it doesn't make this noise at all.

With what ever you use to wipe it off ideally you'll want to use something that is lint free and will not leave anything behind on the cooler. Use Isopropyl Alcohol and something like a coffee filter like mentioned above.

So, this is a brand new 2TB WD Black HDD and it's making this strange noise on shut down that I've never heard before. Other than the noise on shut down it's making the regular HDD sounds a mechanical HDD should be making. The drive also passes on the SMART test. You might need to turn up your sound to hear the sound.

So far it seems to be stable in DOCP mode with a manual clock speed set to 2400MHz.

I don't think OCing your RAM will change your fan speeds.

The RAM part number is listed here and here though

Alright everyone thanks for the comments, I will stick with my 650 watt PSU.

My ram finally came in from Amazon so I have my PC finally assembled and put together. Last night, I installed windows and from all the reboots it would post just fine. Today however I have been having issues with my PC during the post process. My ram is Corsair 8GB x2 2666MHz (Part Number CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, which is on the MB QVL) the MB I have is the Asus Strix B350, CPU is the Ryzen 5 1600. At first I noticed the system automatically set the RAM to 2133MHz and upon further research I found out that ASUS MBs like to do this by default. I went into the BIOS and used DOCP mode, which I think that is AMD's equivalent to XMP, and when I tried doing that my PC would never get past post and would boot into safe mode after about 3 tries. Once I put the ram setting back to auto the PC posted just fine and the BIOS set the ram back to 2133MHz. I then updated my BIOS from 0809 to 3401 and then tried to use the DOCP mode yet again. After that my PC has been posting......... well.... kind of. Below is a video of my issue, sometimes the PC will post just fine, and other times it will fail 2-3 times and then post just fine. I've already been playing games just fine, I've experienced no crashing, PC doesn't randomly shut off. My only issue is this post problem i'm having. Hopefully someone has an idea, my guess is that my MB just doesn't like running my ram at 2666MHz Other info: PSU: Corsair RM650x Storage: WD 2TB Black GPU: Asus Strix 1060 6GB OC PS: I also for the life of me cannot figure out how to read these Q-LEDs... I've been looking though my manual and I can't find and information on them. Since the Orange LED is the last one on before the system shuts off I assume that would be the issue?

I currently have a 650W power supply, Corsair RM650x and I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to upgrade to a 750W PSU. My system specs is as follows: ASUS Strix GTX 1060 OC 6GB Ryzen 5 1600 Asus B350 Strix 8GB x2 DDR4 2666 2TB WD Black HDD I don't plan on overclocking at all, from my understanding 650W should be enough for this system correct?
