    Well there is one of the cheapest way which is an adapter:
    But it's not really worth it.

    So from what I can see, you have the ram in the wrong slot. Ignore the random markings I have on the image, just trying to see what you have plugged in and stuff.

    The most easiest way is to just literally take the drive out, if it's not password locked. Then slap it into another computer with Windows and copy the files over, then remember to take ownership of the new files when you re-install Windows. I always do this when I have issues with Windows and I need to get the important files off the main drive. Or if you have another spare drive to install Windows on and add the old drive with the old Windows installation and then copy those files off there.

    Rainbow Dash got a reaction from NekoCap in Phanteks PH-TC12LS cooler in the Node 202?   
    You won't be able to fit the Phanteks cooler into the Node 202. The Node 202 supports CPU coolers up to 56mm, the Phanteks PH-TC12LS is 73.66mm tall. The space between the heatsink fins and the heatsink itself is really tight, so I don't think any fans would be able to fit there. Unless you mount a 80mm or 60mm fan under there somehow.

    The design of the CPUs are a lot different, with more cores, lower power consumption, and performance per core. So when you overclock those CPUs you will see a more larger performance jump.

    Check if any of the pins have popped out from the adapter for the molex head.

    Holy crap, why haven't i seen this before. For some reason i thought that the molex adaptor to the psu were connected, but when i check again, they were disconnected from each other. Damn this makes me look silly. Thank you so much for help me check again

    You are using the Ryzen 3 1200 which is Summit Ridge. You can also just check this site out under the "Core Name" would be the cpu family it is under: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_3/1200

    Wow, I've never really seen one of those before. That's pretty cool how they managed to have 4 engines on a tiny plane. Kinda reminds me of how there is 8 engines on the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress.

    That will happen if you have a single 3.5mm jack headset or earbud. I'm using earbuds with a line-in mic and the mic won't work if I plug it directly into the mic jack.

    Yeah, you might need a splitter if you have an in-line mic.

    There should be a way in the Devices and Printers when you right click on it to configure. Or if you wanted to use keyboard buttons on a controller, there is a program called XPadder: https://www.xpadder.com/

    Rainbow Dash got a reaction from Queen Chrysalis in Second System   
    Hmmm since you put it that way, the Ryzen 5 1600 would mean you could still upgrade to the Ryzen 3000 series in the future. But with the Intel 9th gen around the corner still supporting z370 boards, that means you could still upgrade in the future on both sockets. It's quite a pickle, but how often does anyone upgrade a pc, like average of 4-5 years, so by that time you might have to get a new board anyways. If you are just planning to keep your cpu and motherboard for 4-5 years or longer, I would just get the 8600k, but if you are planning on getting something for like 10 years, the Ryzen would make a bit more sense since by that time games will be more optimised for multi-threading. For example, the FX 8350 came out in 2012, and there hasn't been a new AMD CPU for 5 years, the FX with it's pretty poor single thread performance against Intel's i5 and i7 4th gen CPUs, lasted it for like a year or so since not really anything used all 8 threads. So what I'm saying is get something with a more powerful single threading if you are planning to keep it for 5 years or longer since you won't be using all the threads for gaming. While the i7 4770k, i7 4790k and i7 2600k, are still really capable gaming CPUs in 2018 since they have a strong single thread performance.

    Well you would be better off with the 8600k since you are primary gaming.

    Rainbow Dash got a reaction from JohnCarlHenry in simple question   
    Arctic Cooling MX-4, Arctic Silver 5, or Noctua NT H1.
    The MX-4 does not require a break-in period to settle, while the Silver 5 requires a while of use to settle. The Noctua NT H1 is decent too.
    Get whichever one is cheaper.

    Sure, you can do that if you really wanted, I have 3 different sets of RAM in my desktop, but you will have to clock with the slowest speed for stability unless you really wanna touch memory overclocking. Hmmm, it also looks like that Ebay listing is selling one stick from a 4 stick kit.

    It depends on the model, generally yes but with the newer models I think you need a specific drive format (more expensive) and opening them is a pain.
