  1. The change through your web browser ONLY affects your browser.
  2. Defragging is physically moving parts of files around that are broken up across the drive, such that they are effectively put back together. Hard drives are more affected by this than SSDs, but SSDs do benefit from occasional and specific defragging. It's not something you just run on your SSD at all, and you certainly don't want a program that treats an SSD as a hard drive. TRIM is just the OS telling the drive that those specific files are no longer in use(stale data), which the drive will get to per its internal firmware.
  3. It only affects your web browser. Did you try downloading stuff with the new setting enabled? Like an NVIDIA driver or something? You would need multiple sources to see if it actually made a difference.
  4. You can modify your browser's behavior to attempt to create multiple connections by default.
  5. What kind of error do you get when trying to boot from the hard drive?
  6. It's another heatsink for the VRMs based on the fact that there's a heatsink that connects from that heatsink up to the other heatsink to the left of the CPU socket. It would be weird(and inconvenient) for that location to populate an M.2 slot, and in this case, it doesn't. The Z97-A has the M.2 slot, but the Deluxe uses that location for additional VRM cooling instead.
  7. What happens if you try to put the hard drive into your PC? What shows up?

      Wait, you guys called your parents to check the room?

      Moms in movies: (shows 4chanite cave) look at this mess, you better start picking up all that trash and clean your room or you're outta the house

       

      My mom: your room is emptier than the supermarket why can't you be a normal girl for once

  8. And the hard drive has been untouched? That is, you did not format it in any way - it is theoretically the same as it was before the upgrade to the SSD.
  9. If you just have the hard drive installed, does the system boot, or did you already format the hard drive?
  10. If you bought the power supply brand new, it should still be under warranty.
  11. There is a paid version of the program, but there's also a free-to-use version, which should support what you're trying to do. Although I would personally back up any data before proceeding with it.
  12. You should be good to upgrade the video card.
  13. What power supply do you actually have?
  14. TDP is a worthless metric. Either way, that CPU can pull 100ish watts, depending on the load it's under.
  15. How much airflow do you have going through the system? What do the fans run at during the Time Spy benchmark?
  16. Do you know if the card was taken apart at all?
  17. LLMs aren't magic. They rely on fast hardware to be able to process the required information, and trying to achieve it locally on old hardware such as what you have won't get anyone anywhere.
  18. Do you know the temperatures of your 7900XTX when playing TF2? Can you run GPU-Z and log everything while playing TF2, and upload the generated file here?
  19. The difference between all those slots is how many pins, and thus how many lanes there are, and this is also the reason why some slots are shorter and longer than others. So a PCIe x16 slot is the longest, also housing the highest number of pins. PCIe x1 is the shortest, also housing the lowest number of pins. However, you can have slots that are physically longer than the slot type they're wired for. For example, a PCIe x16 slot being wired for PCIe x4, or a PCIe x16 slot being wired for PCIe x8, the former being more common. This is separate from PCIe generations, which have doubled bandwidth for every generational increase, using various technologies to support that increase.
  20. What store did you buy this from that gave the incorrect description?
