    M-Disk

    Can someone please give me the SKU and exact 100gb m-disk or BDR that they have used together. As well as what software was used?
  2. how do I make it so the CPU wont be used? I would love to just use GPU
  3. Is there a way to allow FOH to utilize my GPU without being at medium settings? FOH wont use the GPU unless it is running at medium, and if I run medium the CPU runs at 100% all the time.
  4. Because the sound is *fine* but I really enjoy crystal clear audio Ty
  5. So my z370 takchi’s audio is fine, but I want to add a sound card. I can’t find out if my CPU handles those 1x lanes or if the chipset manages them. Does anyone know how to find out? Yes I did RTFM, but I’m still confused lol.
  6. Last night my laptop shutdown suddenly, when I rebooted the drive was not recognized at all. I pulled the drive out and put it into my desktop and ran minitool, which found the partations as "lost" and wanted to charge me 69$ to have it recovered... is there a better way to recover this data, or should I just use a windows media creation tool, and write the data off as a loss? The drive itself is fine and windows media tool cant even repair the OS.
  7. I probably will let it hash in the time that I am not using it, since I am not paying for the energy to run it.
  8. I was going to do the corsair HX1000W, but the concern still exists about tripping the circuit breaker in a dorm room
  9. So do you think a 1000W supply would be fine then? They are going for the price of a 750W right now with all the sales going on?
  10. So I am moving to the dorms in the fall and I am buying a new PSU now to prepare for the new 1180 card coming out later in the year. My problem is that I want the highest watt PSU I can use for adding more cards or so forth later down the road. I wanted to buy a 1300W PSU, but I am concerned if the PSU + the other items in the room will trip the circuit breaker. Has anyone used a high output PSU in a dorm that could give advice?
  11. Not just looking for negative things here, but you did forget the biggest point in the corsair one roundup near then end: Customization. The reason I will never buy one like that is because it is so hard to change out parts, it voids the warranty most of the time, and not all parts can be changed out, if at all.
  12. Could also check if some extra RAM would help as well, 6gb to run windows + chrome has to kill productivity.
  13. This is a longer series of questions so sorry about that. First off if I take the the fans etc. will it void my warranty? Second what thermal grease is best for a GPU, I have seen many people say thermal grizzly? Third, what thermal pads for the VRM would you suggest? Currently my card runs at a toasty 73C @ 2100MHz with the fan running at ~70% fan speed. Thanks for any reply's! Mpt
  14. Does Plastidip trap hard drive heat?
  15. Is IC diamond a nonconducting substance? I plan to use it to redo the paste in my 1080
  16. Sure you can, just make sure the new ones are on the list of compatible RAM. EDIT: another thing to note is that you might just want to move the old ones to the secondary slots, and put the new ones in the primary slots (as listed in your motherboard manual) so you have even more ram!

  18. I have a z370 taichi board but every time I turn on the XMP switch to oc my ram I cant get the system to post. The post code isnt even anything that I can understand. It appears to be a backwards 6 and an 8. Is my motherboard just bad or am I doing something wrong to prepare it for xmp?

    Fn keys

    Where can I find the windows 10 setting to make my FN keys use functions like volume etc. without holding down the fn key?
  20. It uses usb 2.0, but the other headers are taken up.
  21. I have the slot on my motherboard, but not in the form I can use as a USB port.(see picture) the silver slot is USB 3.1 but not in a form I can use. Its supposed to be used by a case that has USB 3.1.
  22. I have a z370 Taichi motherboard, I am adding a water cooling solution to my CPU. The AIO cooler requires a USB port to use it properly. I cant think of the name (or find an item) that would allow me to turn the usb 3.1 port on my motherboard into a usable USB slot for my AIO. Anyone have any ideas? (the port I am talking about is the one inside the case on the motherboard, not on the I/O.)
