yeah i was aware of ram compatibility being weird when switching to amd. On top of being aware of ryzen really taking to faster ram speeds. Also I took a fair amount of time to check and look for what other people's experiences were. I'm just looking at getting into ram overclocking. I currently don't have a good enough cooling solution of cpu OC'ing and i'm happy with my gpu performance. P.S. Here's my full system specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 1800X @ stock speeds COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO With a single included fan in push config MOBO: Asrock B450 gaming fatality K4 GPU: msi duke 1080 ti @ stock speeds with Afterburner temp and power limits maxed MEM: 16GB of g.skill ram @ reported speeds of 2134MHz (Wishing to get more out of it)

I'm new to OC'ing ram aside from XMP. I'm looking for a little advice. Here's the ram i'm running now: 2X G.Skill 8Gb DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Timing 15-16-16-35 CAS Latency 15 I do have DRAM calc for ryzen and plugged in all the relevant info. Now I'm unsure of what's next. Do I go down the list in BIOS and slowly plug in all the numbers in their spots with restarts in between as recommended? I just want as much of the speed as i paid for. I paid for 3000MHz and both windows and BIOS are reporting speeds of 2134MHZ.

Takes care of one thing for sure. My only problem with reinstalling is somewhere during my recent move I lost my product key and disc with it. That's where the "Do i even bother with reinstalling win7?" comes in. Assuming I have to buy another copy of windows should I move to win10 or just stick with win7?

Well I do have my storage drive but I really dont want to wipe that drive but why not just do a clean install on the OS drive in the first place? I think I'm missing something in your suggestion. Most of what's on the OS drive is windows related or game saves. Which I'm not too fussed in losing. Could do all that with Linux on a usb stick too.

So windows was updating when it crashed. It has done this one other time. The first time all I had to do was run windows repair and it was fine after that. Now this time it's worse. It appears to have lost what it needs to boot in to windows. Every time I try to boot in it starts normally. I get the all's clear bios beep. Then it begins to start windows. The splash screen appears. It shows it's loading and then BSOD with this error (0x0000007E). Now I have tried to run the repair from both a disc and from the main install. Neither have yielded anything worth while. I have had the repair utility look for a system image and a recovery point both of which are gone. One other thing I noticed is the drive letter has changed from C to E. I have tried a lot of guides to get a system image or something to take with the repairs. Am I at the point where I have to reinstall or do I even bother and just go with Win10? Let me know if I missed anything that might help. Here's the hardware installed. CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.5Ghz appox. 1.82v Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo GPU: GTX 970 Asus stirx edtion Mobo: Asus Z87 Sabertooth ( I bought this board used and did not get a driver disc with it. It may not be relevant but I don't know.) PS I have no way of getting crash logs or dump files as I cant even windows to boot up

It crashed mid update and thankfully just needs the repair ran to fix it

I need to run windows repair for my install of win7 pro 64-bit. I just moved and i am having a hard finding it. I was wondering if the version of windows disc mattered for repair. For example: could i use 64-bit home premium to repair my pro version.

I do prefer more weight in a mouse but I have recently taken all the included weights out of my g500. That seems to be helping a bit with strain management. As for the size of my hands... My hands are an odd blend of large and medium. Like with disposable gloves my fingers fit a large glove perfectly but my palm is better suited to medium. Pianist hands in short. I will take your recommendations in to account when it's time to replace my current. It didn't occur to me that a smaller mouse might help with my wrist. Lighter weight did make sense. Just didn't think of smaller being a better option. Still is interesting.

I'm wondering if there's a better fit for my hand than what currently have. A logitech G500. It's a been solid choice for me so far but between work and gaming it's been taking a toll on my wrist. So I began to wonder if I could find a solution that would reduce stress on my right wrist. So a little detail about my mousing habits. My hand is flat to mouse when I'm relaxed like browsing the web or exploring an area with little to no enemies. That changes when things get more tense and hectic. My hand moves to a posture that is better suited to playing the piano rather than using a mouse for extended periods. Any opinions on hardware that might help? I'm looking but failing to find much that would be suited to my purpose.
