I guess i just dont understand. I dont know how to do all those things. Previous to this I have been a Mac user and am totally familiar with that OS but im lost on Win10. It says I have custom partitions etc and im unfamiliar with how those work. If there were a place to take it and they could do it i would. I would have to ship my build somewhere and have it done as there is no one local that does this type of pc work. They can sell me a new build but thats it. There is nothing on this build aside from games that I am scared of loosing. Games can be re-downloaded though. Do i just DL Win10 from microsoft, put it on USB and forget about cloning?? Everyone says its really easy lol I tried to follow a youtube vid but did not end up with results anywhere near his.

Hey guys, I got a WD Black NVME drive for christmas. I have been reading that you can have problems clone migrating from 2.5" SSD to nvme ssd. Is this true??? Lets say i didnt want to clone it and just wanted to do a clean install, once i install the nvme and disconnect the 2.5" ssd how is the system going to boot in order to download and install OS on nvme? I may be missing some steps but im a lil lost and dont want to ruin my computer or my new drive by doing something wrong. Current boot drive is a Kingston 120 GB 2.5" ssd and the new drive is WD Black SN750 Any help or advice is much appreciated and im sorry that im a newb, please be patient with me lol

@woodenmarker Thanks for the info, i need to snag a couple of these just to have around lol

I dont know what a PWM splitter is but i'll look into it. Thanks

Thank you @woodenmarker

Can i plug a regular corsair case fan into this header?? In my mobo manual it says it can draw up to 3 amps and 36 volts i think which is way above what the normal fan headers are. Will it only draw what the fan needs? is it gonna smoke my new case fans? Any input on the matter is appreciated.

Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone has had personal experience with this cooler and board specifically. I have an i7 9700k in an asus prime z390 a mobo, and reading online there are a lot of posts saying people have to shim them with brass etc. But, they dont mention much more than asus mobo and h115i. I was wondering if anyone had an experience with my board specifically. I understand that they should be compatible but like i said, just asking.

My main concern was like BIOS stuff. Do i even need to worry about it? Does it do it automatically?

Hey guys, I'm installing a new mono and cpu and am just looking for any tips. Old Hardware: MSI H110M Pro D and i5 7400 New: Asus Prime Z390 and i7 9700k

If you have the $$$$ to do a 3900X build with a good mobo, psu, etc. then like xg32 mentioned a 2080 super will do dandy. I just feel like if your gonna go with a high end CPU, it deserves to be surrounded by premium hardware. Thats the only way you imo that you will see the true performance of it. It sounds like you do editing and those cores will really shine there.

I had a very similar issue about a month ago. It was my PSU and mine was a brand new Corsair. Im not saying your PSU is the problem but worth a solid investigation.

IMO yes. Im no expert but i know ram helped my experience a lot!! I went from 8 to 16 while also increasing speed. Maybe save for another month and snag the 1660ti. That card performs really well for its price point and gets you into Turing architecture. (1660 is Turing also)

My personal opinion would be to upgrade RAM, and go with a lil cheaper GPU. Also, what are you using for a boot drive/ game drive? Moving to an SSD will better your experience overall, so if you don't have one currently I would definitely consider that as part of your upgrade process.

Like others have mentioned you should be able to load a new vbios on it and then be able to load a driver on any pc and it should work. This is a kinda research intensive process though if you dont know what you are doing...(me) Anyways, since you didnt end up paying for it, the keychain idea seems to be a winner.

For a brand new card to work properly i would think you need to be on the most current version of windows (1903) I may be wrong, Im not a software expert by any stretch but i had a friend just a couple of weeks ago had same issue. Once he installed 1903 it worked perfectly. If i were you i would try that.
