  1. Didn't even think of that. Good to know thanks.
  2. So I just used the windows media tool thingamabob to install a fresh copy of windows home 10 pro and went through the set up without a windows key because I was going to do it later but, and much to my surprise, when it was all said and done, there was no dreaded watermark. Yet, when I went to the windows activation settings it said I did not have a key. This is my first time building so I have no idea if this is normal or not. I'm asking because I already bought a key and can't return it. Will I still need it? Anybody know anything about this?
  3. I'm on a tighter budget and just wanted any opinions on this motherboard. link I'm not doing anything crazy with this rig like gnarly overclocking just a simple workstation for photo and video editing.
  4. Thanks for the info. Anyplace in specific you recommend I look I just want to make a good decision.(I live in the US if that means anything)
  5. tbh I am pretty sure it is illegal and unethical
  6. DISCLAIMER idk if this is legal question or whatever so if a mod sees this and needs to take it down or something please do, I don't mean to break any rules I don't know about. Are those cheap "used" windows 10 keys legit and legal? If so where is the most reliable place to find and buy one in your opinion?
  7. What makes it meh? I trust your judgment I just want to learn a little to make a good decision.
  8. OH SHIT your right I meant SSD let me change that
  9. Crucial P2 1 TB M.2-2280 NVMe PCIe Solid State Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089DNM8LR?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 Saw this SSD and want to know if it is good ram at that price point(about $100). If its not what do you recommend and what are the differences?
  10. Yeah that is what I was feeling. Thanks for the confirmation!
  11. Yeah that is what I have heard, so is that little cooling boost enough to rather air cool the CPU or liquid cool it? I f I mount the rad up top would it make it worse? I really don't know I am sort of a PC noob.
  12. This only really applies to the Founders Edition of the 3000 series cards but what do potential cooling set ups look like on those. Seems like if your opting for one of the founders editions that air cooling would be the better way to go but could water cooling your CPU actually be worse or at least not as efficient as air cooling? Would there even be a difference?
  13. I have heard the rumors but I just want to know what you guys think of them. I've heard that it may be around the performance of a 2080/2080 Super for around 400 dollars. What do you think? Are these just rumors? I don't know but I am seriously interested.
  14. Thanks that clears a lot up!!!
