  1. I'd recommend doing a full system reset, and then put files on an external harddrive or something that you'd want to save. Sometimes drivers might be hidden, or there's something left that will "piss off" new drivers.
  2. Then there is nothing but Big Tower left, however you other demands might not be met. The optical drive is old news, and side mounted GPU's are a new-ish thing. Maybe Lian-Li has something? The only things i can find with 5.25'' bays are older Corsair cases.
  3. Do absolutely NOT buy a new GPU. If you want power, buy a new CPU. It''s either new mobo and new CPU, or buy secondhand CPU that fits current Mobo. the i7 6700K still works rather well, however you might need a Z170 for that, i've forgotten. Otherwise go with an i5 6600K.
  4. Well if you do editing and light gaming, perhaps it woould be better to go dual screen? 1 monitor for gaming, and the other for editing? For all i know, Samsung and Dell make good monitors with wide depth of colour. Ultrawide's are definitely not needed. You could always go on Elgiganten and filter things soo you have 4k 27'', and then look at whatever monitors you think look nice, and then take a look at the colour grading on them.
  5. What im really hearing you say is Fractal Define R6 (or 7 if you won't save the cash). Lot's of space for 3,5's and a single 5.25. It's really hard to find anything with several 5.25's that is new and modern, unless you go Big Tower i guess, but damn they are big. I guess if you do a slight bit of modding you could get 2 in there, but honestly just go with a single one.
  6. Hello fellow enthusiasts I have been rather slow the last few years since RTX released, and know next to nothing about their performance I've been meaning to either upgrade my GPU, or buy a VR headset (that Index is looking sexy). But after looking at prices, i can see a 2070 Super is relatively priced for my country (DK, about 5000 DKK for one) At the moment i have a GTX 1070 blower style which i pulled out from my old pre-built, meaning that this is an OEM card, and not something any ordinary person can buy. I have noticed the performance is slower than a normal 1070, and the temperatures reach 80+ Celcius when at load. This is unbearably hot, and do not look forward to the day it will kick the bucket, which is why i want to retire it before it does. I like going above than what i really need, but this time i am unsure whether how much i actually am getting. I've heard that the RTX 2060 is comparable to the 1070, but again, i've got no clue. So i guess what im really trying to ask is, would an RTX 2070 Super be too much, or is the 2070 or 2060 Super much better?
  7. The one plug that looks like Micro-USB is most likely the Corsair Link port. The other one that looks kinda weird should be power. Im not 100% sure, but i'll be damned if it isn't. If im not mistaken, you don't have to plug in Corsait Link, the other one is a must. Check you manual if you seem to be confused. I looked quickly at the manual, and found your answer in Step 5. https://www.corsair.com/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/H100iv2_QSG.pdf Hope that helps!
  8. So you might be more knowledgeable about this app than more, the only thing i understand is that the drives seem to be good. Any other things off your mind that i could do?
  9. Well you see, i thought the exact same thing, except my motherboard is some f**ked up shit Lenovo had to smoke crack to make. There's 2 ram slots, only 1 filled. Fine i think, i'll order one. I find some Corsair RAM that looked nice, i check everything to make sure it'll fit in a standard motherboard. Order it. 1 week later it comes. I open the box, i am literally jumping. For the first time in my life i will have 16 GB ram. The masterrace. I plug it in with my other stick. The PC beeps loudly, no display. Hmm, weird. I check if i plugged it in correctly, push it a bit more. Yup, snug fit. Try once more, still nothing. I take out my stick and try again. Yup, still boots with the RAM i already had. I then switch them out, so only the Corsair RAM is in, nothing, still beeps. I research my stick a bit, turns out it's ECC. Maybe the board somehow only takes ECC RAM?? Now for the SSD..... There's only 2 f**king SATA DATA ports. excuse me what the frick I've come to the conclusion, that to upgrade just one of the parts i need to upgrade, i'll have to upgrade more parts at the same time. I swear to god the motherboard is pure Meth or something-
  10. There was a rumour about a 5000 mAh battery version. And it's Samsung, so of course they would put in a lot of money for their battery department. We all know what happened when their budget was lower.
  11. Hello there! So for a long time now i have had a lot of problems with my pre-built Lenovo Y720 Cube. I got it around 2017. The specs for it are: GTX 1070 i5 7400 8 GB RAM 1 TB HDD i've also put in the 1 TB HDD from my old system, they both seem to be same brand. In pretty much all games now, i experience major frame skips. It wasn't like that when i got it though. I used to be able to play Overwatch with no problems whatsoever. Now, when i join a match, zero models are loaded, nada. It takes about 5 minutes just for one of the models to pop up, yet a big majority of them are still invisible. In War Thunder, a game that requires not a whole lot of power, i can be cruising around with a tank, for then to be pointing the other way after a 1-2 second long frame skip. In PUBG when i land, none of the buildings are loaded. All of the buildings are a bunch of 2D textures. If i somehow manage to find the entrance, then i would get inside, but bug around. For a long time i could play Fortnite fine, yet around a month ago, the same problem i had in PUBG, appeared in Fortnite. There seems to be very few games i actually can play now without frame skip (luckily the "virus" hasn't spread to AOEII) I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this. Some friends have said it could be because of the massive amount of files i have, yet i don't believe that (pictures of my drives. E: and F: are the same drive, for some reason it was formatted like that in my old system, couldn't be bothered to change it.) My system also had a period, where it would crash a few minutes after windows boot. One time, i had to force shutdown my computer 5 times before it stopped. I still have about a month left to return it for not working properly. I need to know if i should do it, or if i can just mess around a bit with my system to fix it. Thanks in advance!
  12. Hello there! I seem to have in to a few issues with upgrading my pre-built. I started off with just buying a simple DDR4 stick. I check that it's a DIMM-288 that would fit in every motherboard on desktop computers. I have also seen it being used in builds on youtube. I buy it. When it eventually arrives, and i plug it in. I find out that for some reason, my motherboard won't accept non-ECC RAM modules. I tried plugging it in on it's own, yet no boot. I figured my motherboard was some weird ass shit, that you won't even find knockoffs of, so i send it back and got the money for it. So i have decided to buy a new mobo. Haven't bought it yet, but i am planning to do so. Since whoever came up with the idea of putting in an i5-7400 and a GTX 1070 in the same build, i have also been in need of an i7. So eventually i have made an upgrade kit. Im going to buy an i7-7700K, an MSI Z270 Tomahawk (In red with LEDs), a Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 16 GB 2666 MHz (2x8 GB), and a Phanteks Eclipse P400 (The first P400's). I need the case, since my current computer case looks extremely weird, and i really don't know if it follow motherboard sizes. Im going to get a CPU cooler from my friend who got it for free, and i'll salvage my 2 1 TB harddrives, and the PSU from my current computer. I can see that the PSU does fit in the P400. Now my question is: Can all of this work? I kind of need an answer fast since there's a sale on and it stops tomorrow.
  13. So i was gonna look at an upgrade from my old pc. And at the moment, i only had enough money for a new CPU, Mobo and case. I can't really wait anymore, since i really wanna play some newer games. I have this Samsung DDR4 DIMM 288-pin that is fairly new, from my pre-built. I was wondering if the RAM would work in my new possible mobo? (ASUS Prime Z270-P) On paper it really should work, but i have had problems in the past trying to put i some other 8 GB stick in my pc. The ram worked and everything, but not just on my mobo. If anyone knows i would really appreciate, since some of the parts are on sale till Sunday.
