Weird thing. Solved the detecting issue by dismounting cpu cooler. Guess it had too much mounting pressure on the cpu or something. Thing is to not screw the cooler all the way down

Yea i think my ssd caused that issue after pluggin everything back to my old motherboard it did take quite a lot of tires to get it to work again. The board im using now is even older then the one i bought xd. After booting to windows it repaired my ssd c drive and now its working fine on my old one

I bought a motherboard Ga z77 d3h rev 1.0 used. The guy showed it to me booting to windows and the bios working properly all the ram slots etc. Bought it home installed my processor and drives and booted. After booting it went to readying devices after which followed a series of bsods everytime i booted. Then suddenly it switched to the backup bios and told that the main bios was corrupted. After that it booted to the bios ver. F18 and everything works fine except it doesnt detect any sata device no matter which port i try. I tried updating the bios to f23, still didnt work. Changed the sata mode from ahci to raid to ide and still didnt help. usb devices still work and im now gonna try booting from usb using external hdd and see if i can fix it from windows. I want to now if it could be a physical problem with the motherboard or just a software one. And i would appreciate any input specs are I7 3770 4gb x2 kingston ssd 128gb 500gb hdd 1660ti (i know its overkill and bottlenecked cant do anything about it rn) 600w coolermaster I know all my other stuff works correctly because i have an other lga1155 motherboard and it works there so the problem is with the new motherboard.

ok thank u for ur input. I'll see if anyone else has anything to say cause gotta make a decision tonight.

What about the i7 3770 would it not bottleneck it and produce stutters

it would be around $241 if converted

I have found deals on both gtx 1660 dual fan and gtx 1660 super single fan having essentialy having same price, so i would like to know which one i should go for provided im already bottlenecked by my i7 3770 on the non super card and if the single fan card would be worth it given that it would run hotter, louder and possibly reduce my performance even further then the non super. :)

Yeah i heard bout that anyway thanks for the answers

I have a i5 3450 the bottleneck site says it has a 9% bottleneck dont know if its true

So should i take it ?

I put up my 1050ti for sale and a guy dm me that he would exchange r9 290 with $45 cash.I cant find any benchmarks comparing them so should i go through the deal(would have to buy power supply)

Mostly gaming 1080p hoping for games both cpu and gpu intensive got an ssd and 16gb ddr3

Does anyone have a i5 3450 or similarly speced processor paired with an rx 580 or 570,if so whats ur experience with it

thank u for the info

Ok thanks man
