  1. Ok, that is what I thought as well. Thank you
  2. Hello, I am looking to buy a secondary monitor and found a good deal on a samsung S22C150N. However, I need to put it on a vesa mount, and I dont see any holes on the pictures, or any documentation on vesa mounting it. Does anybody how I could tell if it can be mounted with a vesa mount? Heres a link to the monitor on samsungs website. https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/sc150-series-s22c150n/
  3. I want to have a strip of rgb lights surround my wall mounted pc, but the rgb header on my motherboard doesn’t have enough power for the whole strip. Is there any way to have wall powered rgb lights turn on and off with the pc?
  4. So for my pc, I need a 20 pin usb extension to plug in my front usb. Is it possible to have a diy solution to extend it like cut the cable in half and add wire extensions to each wire like you can with rgb lights?
  5. I do not currently have any other pcie cards to test with, this is the first build ive done in a while. Its not that the pcie slot doesnt work I dont think, because the lights on the gpu come on, its just that there is no display output
  6. So, I have an asrock x370 pro4 in my latest build. I am planning on wall mounting this build, and I want the graphics card below the motherboard. The main problem is that when my gtx 1070 is in its second pcie 16x slot, the graphics card won't display. Does anyone know how to enable the lower pcie slot for graphics card use?
  7. Ryzen takes huge advantage of high speed memory. I would recommend a cheaper psu, like the corsair cx or cxm lineup, and at least a 3000mhz ram setup, and 32gb might be slightly overkill depending on your use case.
  8. I have, and it shows me a scroll down of ram speeds and I select 3200 mhz, but it still keeps the speed at 2133 mhz.
  9. I recently finished my pc build with a asrock x370 pro4 and corsair vengeance pro 3200mhz ram. When I go into windows task manager, it says my ram is only running at 2133mhz. I cant find an obvious way to set my ram speed in the asrock bios. Does anyone know how to do this?
  10. So, I just finished building my pc, it is working, but the bios is not acting right and I wasnt to update it. On asrocks website, I can't find the latest bios for my motherboard, the asrock x370 pro4. Does anyone know where I can get the latest bios for my board?
  11. So I finished my pc build today. The important parts for this problem are a asrock x370 pro4 and a patriot viper vpn100 name ssd. I have my windows install on my ssd and I had it all working fine. When I tried to install a barracuda 2tb hdd to this build, it worked but when I restarted after doing this, I couldn’t get back to windows. I tried going into the bios and switching the boot order to the ssd, I tried unplugging the hard drive, but I couldn’t get into windows. When I boot up, all I get is the asrock logo, then a black screen with a grey flashing line in the top left. Anyone know how I can fix this?
  12. I got it working! I uninstalled and reinstalled the windows media from my usb and took out the cmo's battery once, because I couldnt get back into my bios. Not sure which of these fixed it but it is working now. Thank you all for your suggestions.
  13. I tried reseating the drive, still not working in windows install. how could I format it without windows installed?
  14. I’ll try that. But I know the ssd sort of works because it shows up as a boot option in bios but not as a storage device
  15. That is how I have it, only the nvme ssd is in the system, yet no storage devices show up during the windows install
  16. I am currently attempting to build a new computer. I have a asrock x370 pro4 for my motherboard, and a patriot viper vpn100 for my nvme ssd. When I go into the bios, it shows my ssd as a bootup option, but when I go to storage settings, it says that there is nothing in the m.2 slot. Also when I was attempting to install windows, the install said that there was no drive in the computer. How can I fix this?
  17. So i want to make a storeMI setup for my upcoming pc build. I have a hard drive picked out but I don’t know what to do for an ssd. Should I go with a cheap silicon power for $35, a patriot viper for $50, or a Samsung 970 evo pro for $75 id rather go with a mid to low range price, but I figured I’d ask here before purchasing silicon power: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L6FJS7V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DKziDb5YJNT5S patriot viper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6SLFJT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qLziDb048WK5E samsung 970 evo pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MG119KG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sdziDbHN6R0P7
  18. So I’m building a pc over the summer and not sure what to do for storage. I have a ryzen 2600x and a gtx 1070 (outdated I know, but I got them for a great price). I’m going to be mostly gaming but maybe some light video editing. I was planning on a storeMI setup. If I do that, what sort of ssd should I get? I want to stay under 50$ but if that’s not a good idea for my use case, please let me know one I was thinking of is this patriot viper 256gb. It seems to be a good price-performance ssd Patriot Viper VPN100 M.2 2280 PCIe 256GB - High Performance Solid State Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6SLFJT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jJyiDb6FWSHCD
  19. Im working on a build for the summer, and the final thing I need is a good nvme ssd, which I am going to run in storeMI with a hard drive. Looking on amazon, a samsung 970 evo plus 250gb is 75$, but one from silicon power or sabrent with similar statistics to the 970, is $30-$40 dollars. What is the difference between these drives, and which should I use for my situation. link to 970: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S250B/dp/B07MG119KG/ref=sr_1_5?crid=20OC6H3F32GTB&keywords=nvme+256gb&qid=1562042977&s=gateway&sprefix=nvme+256%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-5 link to silicon power ssd: https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-256GB-Gen3x4-SU256GBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6FJS7V/ref=sr_1_3?crid=20OC6H3F32GTB&keywords=nvme+256gb&qid=1562042977&s=gateway&sprefix=nvme+256%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-3 link to sabrent ssd: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-SB-ROCKET-256-Rocket-Internal-Performance/dp/B07KGLN3HN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=20OC6H3F32GTB&keywords=nvme+256gb&qid=1562042977&s=gateway&smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&sprefix=nvme+256%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
  20. Looking at ram options right now. Currently looking at two different sticks with the same price but one is 3200mhz c16 and one is 3000mhz c15. Which is better?
  21. So I am looking to build a pc on a pretty tight budget. As I am scrolling on amazon there are several different prices for seemingly the exact same sata III ssd's but by different brands. I ended up looking at these two by crucial and silicon power. Is there a performance difference between these, or a reliability problem? Or is crucial just trying to get more money? https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-500GB-NAND-Internal/dp/B0784SLQM6/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=500gb+ssd&qid=1556584967&s=electronics&sr=1-5 https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP512GBSS3A55S25/dp/B07997QV4Z/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=500gb+ssd&qid=1556584759&s=electronics&sr=1-4
  22. So I am planning on building a gaming pc sometime soon. I am planning on going with ryzen jest because you can’t beat the price. So right now amazon has the best deals on these chips. I want to do either a 1600x or a 2600x because they have the highest core clocks out of the ryzen lineups. So right now a 1600x is $150 with a 4.0 ghz boost clock, and and the 2600x is $180 with a 4.2 ghz boost clock. I am planning to overclock whichever card I get and I will be water cooling it. Which card would you recommend?
  23. Internet speed is 10 down 1 up, house is my grandparents but when the family is over, often times there are most kids gaming, then parents and grandparents streaming TV. Those 10 down and 1 up speeds are the best they can get for where they live.
