  1. Corsair MP600. The other slot is populated by another SSD that works fine
  2. Hey all! Recently a weird problem started with my ssd. It shows up in bios and occasionally even in windows but when trying to open a file on it it says "A device which does not exist was specified" . In bios I can see it's detected but in disk manager/diskpart it does not exist. It used to work fine, but one day it started doing this. Even when I try to format it coughs up the same error. I got it to format once but that didn't fix the issue. All I have found in the internet is to reinizitalise it but I can't exactly do that when it doesn't even show up. Any ideas?
  3. I also have the same issue. Very different hardware. Haven't found a fix. So frustrating, I'm just enjoying a game or doing work and the pc just crashes...
  4. Hey! I tried to overclock my RAM, kind of failed so I just reset my BIOS. Now I can't boot without using CSM. Says that there isn't an UEFI driver present or something like that. Is there any way to fix this without reinstallling windows? I have an ASUS x570 Gaming E motherboard.
  5. Hey! I know that gigabyte announced this card a few weeks back but has it become available somewhere? Yes it's probably out of stock but has it even hit the shelves somewhere? Also do you guys think it's a good idea to buy a GPU with pre-installed WB? Like it looks good and it fits into my case better than the massive asus strix 3080 because even with a WB it's almost 30cm long
  6. Definitely don't get the cheap SPC pumpRes combo. I have it, works fine for one component but if you want to add more it'll struggle and you will have to buy a new pump. Standalone pump won't be a problem, back in the day that was pretty much the only option, it's just best practice to add the pump below the reservoir so that it won't run dry. In my opinion pump/res combos look better, but that's just personal preference.
  7. Depends what you exactly want and how skilled you are. An AIO is an easy option for water cooling. Just screw the fans to the radiator and mount it to the case and mount the block to the CPU, connect the wires and vola you are good to go! Custom loop is harder to build, a hell of lot more expensive but it performs better and in my opinion looks better. Definitely don't go for a hardline loop for your first time, unless you are feeling very confident. I would recommend EK parts. You can either pick each part individually or buy a kit. The kits are actually pretty good and not overpriced. The classic kits are the cheapest but they have a crappy pump, works fine for one rad and component but it really can't handle more. Maybe you can get away with including a GPU but not 2 rads and cpu+gpu. I would recommend a D5 pump. DDC is also fine but D5 is the best!
  8. You can use any fan as an intake or radiator fan if it's physically compatible. The question is how efficient it is. A pressure optimized fan does better on a radiator, and an airflow fan does better as an intake. But yes they are fine
  9. Same issue. After 10 months this issue started appearing and I'm not gaming 24/7.. This can get you killed so often in fps games and well in hoi4 I can't even draw a proper front line... Sadly I think I have lost the receipt so I can't return it. What a waste of 75€, thank god that I didn't buy the more expensive g502 lightspeed. Weard thing is that I can't reproduce the issue with a mouse tester, only comes up in games. Not getting any more logitech products anytime soon, the software is also pretty bad.
  10. Intresting, somewhere I read that 40-50°C was already enough to start deforming them
  11. Hey all. Last year I upgraded my system with a custom loop. Well the loop is pretty basic and with not the best components. I'm want to upgrade my entire system when the RTX 3000 series and 4th gen ryzen desktop chips come out. Currently I have an nzxt h710i black/red case, kind of regret getting it but I won't buy a new cases since I spent 200€ on it... Well it's ok for water cooling but meh but now I want to put an asus x570 gaming E, rtx 3080/ or 3080 super?, 32gb of trident z or trident z royale 3200Mhz cl16 ram(Which one do you think looks better) into it. And ofc I want to water cool it.(both cpu and gpu) Currently I have a pretty weak EK pum/res combo which needs upgrading. I can't decide between these two: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-kinetic-tbe-200-d5-pwm-d-rgb-acetal or https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-kinetic-tbe-160-ddc-pwm-d-rgb-acetal . Probably the d5 one since it's the gold standard pump right? Now here's the real question. Should I add a second radiator? i thought about adding the 240mm PE radiator from ek. I currently have a single 360mm se radiator. How much would I benefit if I added that? I want to do some overclocking. Would that one rad be enough without the fans going crazy? I have my doubts about that. I also want to go hardline. It would look so good! I have heard that PETG is better for beginners and it doesn't brake as easily as acrylic. I have no idea how hot the water is inside the loop but I know that PETG can break if it gets too hot. I'm probably overthinking it but first time doing hardline . And yes I'll remove the dice and drill some holes into the cases when I monunt the new pump/res. Thank you to everyone who read it through and answered .
  12. I'm very late but yeah I don't think I'll ever buy a logitech mouse again. After having this mouse for 10 months it started having the same issue. Just double clicking, usually with the RMB while I hold it down. I think I have lost the recite so I can't send it to warranty either. I should have gotten a razer or sth. My 4 year old steelseries rival 100 is still working well. Probably have to switch back to that. I payed 40€ for that and 75€ for the g502 hero.. Thank god I didn't buy the lightspeed one
  13. I will know for sure tomorrow when I get home, haven't looked at my PSU for a long time ?
