Trying to figure out if there is any way to scan a pre-build ROG desktop. I’m looking to see what possible afraids that might be able to be done to this in 80 P gaming machine. Leica SSD upgrades and ram upgrades etc. Little disappointing mine has only the metal side panels and they apparently cut off the RGB pins. So if Yvonne could get clear side panel couldn’t have any RGB up to the motherboard directly.

Theres not really any scans you could do to see what needs an upgrade. Based on your specs you might want more ram or a better GPU, but right now is a pretty bad time to buy gpus. However, if you don't have any problems with your pc you don't really need to upgrade. If your running low on ram, get a ram upgrade. If your running low on storage, get another ssd or another hard drive. If your getting low fps, might want to upgrade the gpu/cpu. 

 

If you want your pc to look better you would have to buy another case and move your parts to that because you can't get a seperate tempered glass side panel on prebuilts like that. For RGB, I don't see why your rgb pins would be cut off, maybe you never had any to begin with? You can however buy led light kits on amazon that don't need to connect to your motherboad or rgb fans which don't need the rgb pins on your motherboard.

When I said cut off at me we just referring to that the pins aren’t there even though the spots on the board form are. You could see where the pens would solder two. The traces are there but the pens aren’t. And as for upgrades I was planning to just start with the ram upgrade like you were suggesting. Then eventually a better CPU and then whenever this epidemic in them GPU go back to a normal standard. Thinking about a like the equivalent of the 70 ti series what that may be at that point. Want to run a 5120 x 1440 Dell U4919DW UltraSharp as the main display andda existing 22” samsung with 3d vision thats just collecting dust as a second display for obs and stream chats

One of them other upgrades want to do eventually is upgrading the SSD to a larger drive size. Period I mean it’s nice and fast and all that but think it’s a fairly basic NMVe drive. But if I could get a larger one and then replace the mass Storage drive with a exodus 18 TB eventually. It would be pretty good computer for streaming in contact creation.

 

Just not sure what type of SSD it is. Like what protocol it uses so could drop by the proper SSD. I guess there’s always an option of just done mounting it and looking physically. But would rather avoid doing that at the moment.

 

also there’s some cooler that’s on the computer is very basic. And have a brand-new AMD rate prism cooler just laying around. Even though the RGB would be completely useless. Unless maybe I got one of those RGB hubs that are designed for lighting strips and work via internal or external USB.
