    CheekyBugger got a reaction from Stahlmann in To use or not to use the M.2 heatshield   
    Ok, so long as the temps always stay at least slightly lower than without the heatsink i´ll definitely use it. And i agree, it does look better with it and should also provide some extra protection. Still, if anyone reading this thread knows of a test or video where the difference is shown, please link it.
     
    Anyway, thanks for the advice!

    Selling codes is fine, selling full accounts usually isn't. Though Nvidia and others have placed restrictions to counter just that, selling the codes. So if code is specifically attached to certain part, it can't be redeemed unless system has that part.

    This.
    When I received codes for my 5700XT and my Ryzen 3600 during promotional periods. It required using a separate activator to verify that those components were in the system. I was also limited to a max amount of codes per account. This could be different for NVIDIA, you would need to check with NVIDIA's promotional terms.
     
    You could however have a friend or family member activate the codes on your system while signed into their accounts and just give it to them. Of course you will need the hardware that was part of that promotion.
     
    It is technically against the terms to redistribute codes without the hardware and proof of purchase.

    Because well.. we don't know what's going to happen with it, wait for zen 3, check what it has to offer and then decide on a board then. 
    but to answer your question.. 
    since i don't know how prices are where you live (pcpp shows different prices than you mentioned), to name some boards. 
    B550 tomahwak, B550 aorus pro, b550 strix f, b550 a pro for ATX. 
    for mATX, b550 mortar or the b550 tuf, the mortar has better vrm but the tuf is also solid.

    i would not buy anything before the cpu are actually announced, just in case there's a new chipset, and i expect a price hike of 50usd~ for each cpu this gen, maybe 100 if amd's bold enough.

    I mean the 4000 naming scheme isn't even set in stone right now since there are rumors of it being called 5000 now.

    Maybe wait until the cpu actually comes out? That's what I'm going to do at least, and cross my fingers there isn't a price jump or anything.

    The B550m mortar is just simply a lot better than the b550m aorus pro. 
    The b550 tomahawk has better vrm than the b550m mortar, but the mortar can handle any current am4 cpu easily, budget for a board? and location and currency? 
    also if you're just waiting for zen 3, buy a board when that launches and don't buy a board now.

    The hard drive won't need to be MBR or GPT as it won't have anything to do with the OS install.  
     
    Now we just have to plug the drive back in and delete the existing partitions to create one larger partition.  So plug it in and get into Disk Management again.

    So that confirms that you cannot run your current Windows install without your HDD.
     
    You'll want to set your USB drive as the boot drive in BIOS.  So at next boot get into BIOS and set the USB drive you used to install Windows as the boot drive.

    I'm 99.9% sure that my Swedish/Danish is non-existent, but my Google translate is working.  That leads me to feel confident in saying the SSD has the Windows install on it with an associated Windows partition living on the HDD.  It says it all right there in your Disk Management screenshot.  Now you can run it as it is, but if you remove that HDD then your Windows install may not work. 
     
    You'll also want to ignore my statement to format the HDD after you re-install Windows with only the SSD plugged in.  Simply formatting won't return the HDD to the state at which you want it.  You'll need to delete partitions and to do so will likely require you to use diskpart for the Windows partition.

    The Focus GX is good, just pretty loud at high loads.
     
    The RM is a downgraded RMx, with its cheaper Hong Hua fan and cheaper caps used throughout, though Corsair still has enough confidence behind those components to keep the 10 year warranty of the RMx.
     
    The RMx - very solid performance, very quiet, nothing much to say really. Funnily enough though, the RMx lacks support for Windows 10's Modern Standby, while the RM does support it.
    At least that's the case until the RMx v3(?) comes out.

    Between the 650W units, RMx.
     
    Between the 750W units, it's kind of a wash. The GX might be slightly ahead in terms of performance, but the RM will be quieter.
    I'd probably pick the RM between the two, but they're both fine.

    Shouldn't be. You can always get an rca to 3,5mm if there are any issues. I don't own these speakers, can't say for sure, but it should be fine.

    Id use the jack to phono cable.

    On your motherboard is a audio converter which turns digital 1 and 0s into a sound wave(called a DAC digital to analogue convert). The same thing is in that USB cable. The questions is do you want to use the cable or your motherboard to covert the digital signal. Your motherboard company has spent a lot of money developing and manufacture the audio processing while that cheap usb cables from china has spent pennies.


    Those speakers also have a USB input so maybe could just use a USB cable to connect them.

    My bad. But still 70 is a great price for those speakers.
    The one Nox recommended.

    On the back of your motherboard you got audio outputs. Jack end of the cable into the green hole then the two phonos into the speakers

    No, you are not limited to usb ports. You can connect it to the back of the mb using included 3,5 mm to 3,5 mm, pretty much every mb has 3,5mm audio jack, on your mb it's here : ,  or you can use the cable you linked, my cable that i linked. But why buy something when there is a cable included?
    there is one at the back...
