Do not overwrite an SSD, definitely not 7 times! It will heavily damage the drive. Use the built in secure erase command instead.

Got any benchmarks? I had the exact same model of CPU, and now my dad has one.

8 years and I still keep my tower on the right.

Hello, I have an HP Elitebook 840 G7 exhibiting a weird issue. When doing certain tasks on one of my external monitors (LG 27GP850), the GPU usage gets much higher than it should on Desktop Window Manager. This is most noticeable when playing a video on YouTube in windowed mode (it does not occur in fullscreen mode), but also when moving windows around fast. It also does not occur when using my other 1080p 60hz monitor. So far, I have tried Updating drivers for the GPU, from both HP and Intel's websites. Lowering the refresh rate from 144hz to 60 or 120 Updating to Windows 10 22H2. Using a different browser (Edge) Many solutions I have seen online for this mention some kind of bug with NVIDIA drivers, but this laptop only has Intel graphics (i7-10810U, intel UHD graphics).

Have you tried swapping the two M.2 drives between each others' slots?

Gigabyte just released AGESA 1.2.0.7 for my board, B550 Aorus Elite v2. An hour after updating I get the same stutter.

Consider the Dell Precision lineup. Can be affordable on the used market.

Happens for me as well. Gigabyte B550 Aorus elite v2, 5600x, latest BIOS (F13). Here's hoping for Gigabyte to patch it.

Something from ASUS?

Did you apply thermal paste, and how? Is the cooler securely mounted?

Maybe once there's an actual shortage? Hard drives are available at the same prices as always here.

My 970 runs Watch Dogs Legion around 50 fps at 1080p, so I'm guessing GTX 1050 or something?

Then your best bet might be a new Thinkpad instead. T14 with an AMD chip for example, but that has upgradeable storage and soldered RAM. Which is more important, upgradeability or being thin and light? Those are a one or the other type of thing.

What's your motherboard? If I understand Intel spec correctly, you will be unable to run it faster than 2933 MHz, unless on a Z490 or Z590 board.

Understandable, but my suggestion wouldn't be much of an upgrade in that case. What's the budget? The market for used hardware depends a lot on where you live, so I can't make any exact suggestions.

Used Dell Latitudes are affordable, easily repairable and upgradeable, assuming they are available where you live. What's wrong with the Macbook Air?

That's about what they cost here as well. It's definitely higher than they should be, as are prices for just about any graphics card whatsoever. If you can wait for prices to go back to normal levels, which no one can say when, I would suggest waiting.

I see no graphics card in the list. The integrated graphics on the 10700K are worse than your laptop's GTX 850M, so I see no point in using that. Or are you hoping to find a used graphics card? Edit: misread post. For used graphics cards, look for a GTX 1080 Ti.

It might, there's no way to know for sure. If you need to be sure, you should just unplug the drives or disable the ports in BIOS.

Thank you, I was able to get 3600 running with these timings without errors.

What should I use instead?

Hello, So I've had my Ryzen 5 5600X running with HyperX Fury 2x8GB with Hynix DJR dies of memory at 3200 MHz, but I thought of pushing it to 3600. I downloaded Ryzen DRAM calculator version 1.7.3, plugged in my details from Thaiphoon and went to input everything in the BIOS, although some settings like tRCPAGE were missing. I booted into Windows and went to run membench in the DRAM calculator, but I got multiple errors. Did I apply some settings wrong, or is my RAM just not capable of going faster than 3200? My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 with the latest BIOS (F13c). I also have a +200MHz auto OC on the CPU with PBO2 curve optimiser, could that be a problem? Thanks in advance
