    star_pilot475 reacted to Princess Luna in is my ram good enough for i9 9900K ?   
    It's underwhelming and will be a bottleneck however replacing it will be expensive... should have got better RAM from the get go... if you feel satisfied as is then keep it but if you're bothered your 9900K is not producing the same fps as you see benchmarks know it's that slow RAM slowing it down.

    star_pilot475 reacted to Jurrunio in Types of SATA Cables? Which I need for 2.5" SSDs?   
    There are only two types of SATA cables, the bigger one connects to the PSU for delivering power and the smaller other connects to the motherboard or expansion card for sending signals. Color doesn't tell much.
     
    SX6000 lite only because A400 is really bad among SSDs, though note that it's not a SATA drive nor 2.5"

    Once my father went to this small town with a gigantic river where lots of people would go for gold panning and he also bought some old furniture, it was an old desk made of this rare hard wood and later on hidden inside one of the drawers we also discovered a gold nugget.
     
    Personally I bought a G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB) Trident Z 3200mhz CL16 kit second hand for like 20 dollars from someone because it was dead, went through the Lifetime warranty deal with G.Skill... took me a solid month (because sent it to the US from Braizl) but eventually I got back for free the brand-new replacement.

    I don’t think there is any way to get video output on that board without a discrete GPU...
     
    I could be very wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s your issue.

    Edit: this also gives you a bit of breathing room. You could throw in a decent cooler, or go with a newer Ryzen chip or whatever.

    I feel the same way. I NEVER play video games while I’m out of the house. When I’m out, it’s because I’m busy. A home console would be a great idea for the next switch.
