btw.. with steam ubisoft and other game loaders, you can backup the game data.. if you have space on your harddrive i would copy the game data there.. and restore it after a reinstall. 
 
and for drivers... i would use powershell and type Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination D:\Drivers  before you start this 😄
 
D:\drivers can be where every you want it.. to reload drivers quick.  go in device manager and just load drivers and point to the directory you choose.. 
 

Oh god manually changing partitions is a nightmare.
 
Make sure to make backup before you do this.

my system drive has one 499MB partition(recovery) a 100MB EFI partition ahead of C: and a 650MB recovery partition in the end of it. 
so you would need 600mb in front free space, and 650 mb at the end of the disk. 

Wonder if OP will keep trolling with the weird formatting.

🤔 in my recollection... win98 SE never realy supported ntfs... just fat32..  and mbr.. 
and yeah.. splitting large sizes was a known trick back in the day.. and a pain.. 

There's a lot of problems here. That CPU doesn't support that much RAM. That CPU is DDR4 only.
That motherboard isn't compatible with that CPU.

Cat5 can carry Gigabit, but there isn't as much room for error as there is with Cat5e.
 
I've seen residential installations where two of the pairs in a Cat5e run were not punched down to the jack. Instead, they were used for phone lines. (Gigabit Ethernet needs all four pairs to pass spec, but 100 meg Fast Ethernet only needs two.)
 
If all else fails, get yourself a long cable and run it along the baseboards. You might even be able to tuck it underneath the baseboard if you have carpeting.
 
 

Thats crazy considering the Keystones have the wiring codes on them... at least all the ones I've ever seen and used. 

yeah.. max file size is 4GB...  somewhere i read it's 2TB volume size... but that's actually mbr limit and why we use gpt..

depends on what GPU you are going for realy... if your going AMD they use 6+2 8 pin connectors it wouldn't matter. if you want a 4090 i would go 3.1 to avoid the melting power connector problem.

Nah I will make sure it has priority and it old one won't be in system till this is figured out.

yea, but putting two strips on it isn't that big of a problem 😄

Okay I think I don't have more questions : D Bye

1. it depends.. the difference is you can connect usually up to 10 fans, and get power directly from the PSU, it's still only 1 fan that will deliver pwm signal to a chassis fan port. 
2 you can, they will spin with different RPM tho, as it will deliver power on the RPM signal from on port 1 on the controller/hub, think it of giving power from 0 to 100%. 
one fan is running from 500 to 1900 rpm, another fan 140 will run slower like 300-1200 rpm ... other fans goes up to 3000rpm or more.. giving 50% power signal would make them run at 950, 600 and 1500 rpm respectivly. 
 
so it's more normal to get a splitter for 2-3 fans that are same model, or atleast same speeds. and another splitter for the 140mm fans as they will run slower, and put them on a different fan header.  if you go into the rabbit hole of fans... some comes with a controller and can connect 16 or more fans... still getting signal from 1 fan header. and as with mine.. draw power from 2 sata power connectors 😄
 
having more than 3 fans on a header will over time burn the header out ruining it.. depending on the ampere limit on the port, pump/aio headers delivers more. 
 

a cable splitter will have 2 or more cables for 4 pin PWM connectors, 1 will deliver rpm signal the rest will just take the power it gets.. 
a PWM 2 or 3 port splitter is a standard you can get any that says PWM splitter 😄
you can get pwm extenders too.. or just a splitter with longer cables. .
more than 3 fans i would put on a PWM hub.. and get power directly from the PSU. 
 

Turn off and unplug PSU: Remove CMOS battery and leave out until you are done doing checks. Check for dust in the slots. Remove All cables from motherboard. Leave SSD detached. Reseat RAM in slot A2 and B2, make sure no dust cakes in the the slots and connectors are clean. Plug in all power cables and on GPU only plug in a monitor to one port. If you run HDMI on one display use that one.  

normaly your 8 pin CPU/EPS connector are splittable to two 4 pins.. on larger/newer PSU's that have 2 CPU cables you get 4+4 and 4+4 .. 
 
but as he said.. anything more than 8 pin are usually not required. 
 

looks like boith rads are intaking? could be dumping all the heat in to the case... with looks like 2 fans exhaust?
 
try removing the side pannal an d see what that dose.

You had 270W package power when it maxed out, that's fairly normal. It'll be the overly aggressive BIOS defaults.

I would think something shorted out on the hard drive and sent power down the data cable, also killing the drive.
Was the bare PCB back of the drive set on any metal surface? 

@foxbill86 LOL, youre not stupid....you just overlooked it. We all do it,the only way you learn is to miss it, break it, or do it wrong. Youll always remember that now though. 😉

Fuck, I'm real stupid. Thanks

depending on drives.. samsung have samsung magician 
 
in general i would use crystal diskinfo ..  diskmark to performance test it
