    go into disk management and then format and create a new partition on the drive

    Yes because you are only using it to create a partition drive not your boot drive

    AdventurerIX got a reaction from LogicalDrm in Need to know if Gigabyte or ASRock have software for Controlling Fans based on GPU temp   
    Most motherboards can detect GPU temp, thats why if you download something like HWinfo it will tell you the temperature your gpu is at, even some games Black Ops 4 for instance has a setting to display GPU temp on screen in game, it is actually a software issue, as the software needs to be able to grab those temperatures and allow you to set a fan curve to make Fans plugged into the motherboard that normally can only be controlled by CPU temp or user set constant RPM speed and instead have them make that curve off GPU temp, now a normal Overclocking program like MSI Afterburner can see those temps and change the speed of the fans that are actually on the GPU, but in this case i need to control fans that are connected to a motherboard not the GPU directly, There are 2 programs i know are able to set these curves, CAM from NZXT which requires the use of my NZXT GRID, or Speedfan which takes some time to set up as its not a straightforward proccess, i was trying to find out if any of the motherboard manufacturers have a program for it made for use on their motherboards so i could remove the grid, i posted this in the Motherboard forum as well and was told by a user of the gigabyte board that they know Smart Fan 5 does not but they are unsure of the ASRock board but doubt it, so Im going to say right here that my problem has been solved.

    AdventurerIX got a reaction from bluebuffalo831 in Need Help deciding on a motherboard for my node 202 build please read info   
    I currently have the following system in a node 202 Here , im upgrading it to ryzen and im tight on cash with the added bills i have since my mom passed in February,  i have a choice between the two boards listed in the poll as they are what are at my local microcenter and im going to use the bundle deal with a 1600, i sold about 300$ worth of parts to do this upgrade without interfering with my bills. One of my issues is i control 2 fans in the GPU bay based of tempeture of the GPU using a NZXT Grid V2 with CAM software  and then also control my CPU fan as well as a few more smaller 40mm fans in the cpu champer. I wanted to know if the software for either of the two boards that are my current options will be able to do this so that i could remove the Grid V2 from the case (every cm counts in a Node 202 build!) The ASRock Software i believe is called Fatal1ty F- Stream and the Gigabyte software is Smart Fan 5. Im not looking for speculation on whether the software looks like it can but rather if anyone has used it or has seen it used for controlling fan RPM based on GPU temp, I know Speed fan can do this but i want to know if either of the softwares for the motherboards do it, otherwise i will just have to stick to using CAM
     
    Other then that please share any opinion or experience you have with either board the gigabyte one costs 10$ more then the ASRock so they are about there in price but if for my use case of this being my bedside computer and travel gaming computer (think lans, friends house, vacation) So it will run a range of games of all types online and offline old and new, The wifi being good on the board is also important as i currently have a AC1900 wifi adapter and have 500Gbs on 5GHz so i need it to be able to handle that so i can sell off the adapter. I also might do some overclocking on this.

    Should be fine, Coolermaster just made their own https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Degree-Adapter-Capacitor/dp/B07HZ6B6R1/ref=asc_df_B07HZ6B6R1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241874587131&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14892941289393677757&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002277&hvtargid=pla-600738888716&psc=1
