It's windows 10, i have a 12th gen intel cpu.

So you can assure that the components in my newer computer?

So worms wouldn't be an issue?

The problem is that the drive is infected. I do have a USB to SATA caddy, but plugging it into my pc puts me of risk of getting a virus.

Hello fellow forum users, I recently removed an old disk drive from a laptop wanting to retrieve the data (the computer that i took it from can not start). Because it is an old computer, and the people using at that time weren't very technologically inclined, I can say in complete confidence that the drive is infected with some sort of virus. Not wanting to risk my pc, I need an alternative way to access the drive's content. The first thought that came to my head was to unplug all storage devices connected to my computer and booting from the drive. In theory, doing this should eliminate all risks of infecting my current pc. Although, I'm not quite sure, and I want to be 100% sure before plugging in the device. My fear is that in someway, the virus may be able to spread to the components of my pc; that being the ram, cpu, motherboard, and gpu; In turn, infecting my SSD and storage disks once plugging them back in. I did do some research before hand but I couldn't find a solid answer - one that is consistent throughout the internet. If any of you reading this message knows the results of booting from an infected drive, please let me know! Thank you in advance for your helpfulness answering my question.

I can read in fact, thank you though for pointing that out to me. It is appreciated.

I was just browsing ebay today and I stumble upon this 3060 TI selling for 30 bucks. This is most likely some kind of scam but at the same time it could just be a steal. Is there anyway to know if it is legit?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/nVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3060-Ti-Founders-Edition-8GB-GDDR6-Graphics-Card-Box-Only/114653926597?epid=0&hash=item1ab1e814c5:g:NLYAAOSwpTtgEdws

Thank you for the response, i will take in mind the ssd, fans, and mass storage. I meant to put the mesh case on there but I'm not sure what happened. Again thank you so very much for investing some time in typing for me!

Hello, I have finalized my pc build and I want to share it to you guys. I'm not quite sure if my CPU cooler will fit with my ram. May you please let me know if that is a problem.

Can you please tell me which ebay you're talking about . Because the lowest I see is $80.

Would you mid you suggesting any?

I completely don't trust ebay, I won't even consider... No hard feelings.

Hello there, I am building a pc and came across this website. It sell a microsoft windows 10 license for $25. I don't remember which youtuber recommended it, but it was... "recommended". Should it be trusted?? Enter at your own risk.... https://digitalchillmart.com/

ASRock B550 Pro 4/ ASRock B550M Pro 4

It was my mistake, I named it "Could it fit?" before. I then changed it once i realized...

I was going over my future pc build and spotted that i have chosen a micro-atx motherboard. I plan to use Corsair 4000D case, but it seems that the micro-atx board might be too small for the case. I did some research and found the atx version for the same B550 motherboard, but it lacks a sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers to connect to the case unlike the micro-atx. Should I just stick with the micro atx or would it be better in the long run to go with the atx board which has more expansion slots?

So basically if you don't need a cable, you can take it out of the pc.

Can you explain what modular means, I am not quite familiar with power blocks.

I won't consider myself as a "gamer". I enjoy playing a few games, at the most 3. The most "intensive" game I would want to play on this pc is Kerbal Space Program 2 when it comes out. 500gb is perfect for the meanwhile as I save for a 1tb HDD to install later on.

I just checked the prices, and those power supplies are out of budget. I have found an alternative in which can be viewed in the link provided. Would that work?

Thank you, I did not know it would be that cheap :D. I am building this 1 year from now.

For the past week, I was just thinking if it is best to buy a pre built or build a pc. Going back into my previous forms posts, I was seeing "Build a PC". At the time, I was not sure if that was the best to do, but by watching videos and learning how to build one I have gained confidence (except for installing windows). I have gather parts for my future pc builds on PC Part Picker. Would you mind checking it out and letting me know what I should change. It would be greatly appreciated. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SavionK/saved/RkxtnQ

Hello all, I am saving for a computer in which I be able to buy in December 2021. I'm wondering if this particular product would stop selling. Do you guys have any experience with waiting more the a year for a product and it still being on shelf? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops-and-all-in-ones/ideacentre/500-series/IdeaCentre-T540-15ICB-G/p/99IC9500324?IPromoID=LEN351111
