hi so even without antenna there IS some communication out of the PC (you can see the network), thats interesting... somebody somewhere else said that if the antenna is not installed you cannot use the wifi AT ALL... i found that hard to believe...

Hello im looking to buy a motherboard for my 5950x. Ill will go probably with B550 chipset, probably with: Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II 90MB19U0-M0EAY0 This one has WIFI integrated on the motherboard itself... I have never had it (or used WIFI on PC really), i have some wifi router i...

Hello I have 5950x and Im looking for a board for this CPU. I was going to buy Gigabyte X570S UD but its no longer in the shops (at least in my country), sadly. I liked the 3x m.2 slots there (ALL PCIe 4.0 x4 (!)) (not PCIe 3.0)... And its cheap price. Now my only contender among x570 boards is...

thanks thats a helpful tip.

Hello In Short: Do I really have to do a COMPLETE format of a drive and a clean install of windows and all other programs again when changing the motherboard (and therefore ---> format the disk, losing all data, programs, settings, drivers, etc.)? Or not? In more detail: I currently have...

thanks I dont have any experience with memtest... is there only 1 test? Or are there more various tests (which is the case i think)...? Which one should i run in particular (in my case - wanna test compatability of ram), thank you

Hi How would 1 work (use USB headset) if the audio is still processed by the same audio chip/codec (regardless if i plug headset into the audio jacks or USB, the sound/audio is still processed by the same chip? (that people online say is "sub-par"?

Hello So i currently have 2*16 GB (32 GB) RAM Module - Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB DDR4 3200 MHz CL16, DIMM, 1.35V (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16): https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236541 Im planning a new PC build (most likely with motherboard: Gigabyte X570S UD (with...

Also in addition i would like to ask, if i may :-): 1) I read that the audio codec of the motherboard is not really that good at all (its Realtek 887)... But if im NOT an audiophile ( my headset costs like 10 USD :-) )... Will I really notice a difference (while gaming or listening to music or...

Hello Im looking to buy a mainboard for my 5950x CPU. I like the Gigabyte X570S and/or X570S GAMING X (they should be the same boards basically). I like them because of cheap price (in my country) and 3 x M.2 slots (all at full speed (!!) - PCIe 4.0 x4 (at least they say so on their website...

Hi In 2023 which one is (are) the best solutions to convert english speech to english text... Either from "live" recording or via saved audio file. Online solutions are ok too, but i would probably prefer some "offline" solutions (in order to have "safety" that my speech/text is not going...

Hi gentlemen I have an old board with an X370 chipset, Ryzen 1700 in it (the first generation). I have bought and have sitting here for about a month (in a drawer) a new CPU that should go into this board after the bios upgrade - 5950x. I have a scythe ninja 4 cooler. I have built about 3 pc's...

I was recommended elsewhere to do a full format under windows to see if these issues wont resolve themselves (there is a chance that they might) and than i could still use the drive (but only for nonessential data/as an additional backup drive for example etc). what do you think abotu this (full...

Failed 8,3 Years old WD Red drive 3TB (EFRX) - what now...? So couple of weeks/months ago one of my HDDs- WD Red 3TB - EFRX - 8,3 Years old (!) failed on me. I had backups and was still able to get vast majority of the data directly from the drive. So data-wise im ok. My questions is other...

thanks, i cannot say how loud are yours noise sounds (cause there is no other sound for comparison like mouse clicking), but i would almost say your sound more pleasing... lol :-), it sounds to me almost like heavy rain drops dropping on a window or window ledge :-). yours do the PWL too every...

yours too do that PWL noise sound periodically every 5 seconds...?

I bought a new HDD - Ultrastar HC510 10TB (Helium one). Its quite noisy (seek, read, write etc )... And as it seems, in addition to this, I think it has that annoying "feature" noise ("sound") of "click" every 5 seconds (!!) - PWL (protective wear leveling). At least thats what I think it is...

thanks yeah im familiar with the bath tube curve.

Is it "safe" (good idea) to buy (brand new) HDD (Helium filled (!)) that was sitting in a warehouse/store/stock shelf somewhere for like 3-4 years, without EVER being turned on/put into PC...? Just forgotten drive, LAST piece in stock which nobody bought...? So i have found a nice drive, in my...

BTW i have a new SSD drive that i will be installing windows 10 on. Its not formatted yet. Im planning to format/partition the C system partition to approximately 565 GB. Im planning to have Windows 10 and my programs on that drive, nothing else... 565 GB should be plenty enough space for this...

So "iddle" doesnt mean the same as "heads parked"...? Cause internet says that the noise is made in iddle only basically, you are saying that once the heads are parked, no clicking sounds appear (so iddle does NOT mean "head parked" (thats totally new info to me if true...?)) Thanks So all...

Hello So im in a search for a new HDD and almost bought WD Gold 10 TB (WD Gold DC HA750 10TB, WD102KRYZ ). But then i found out reading the internet that there appears to be this "problem" (feature :-) ) of rather annoying (loud?) "clicking" sound from the HDD, every 5 seconds or whatever...

Hello Thanks for reply. This is the 1st time im reading about the enabling secure boot and TPM...? Why is that? I currently have them disabled i believe...?

Hi I currently have windows 7 on some Samsung 500 GB SSD (850 evo?) I bought and already physically installed (additional) SSD - brand new - Kingston 2TB NVME (Kingston KC3000 2048GB, SKC3000D/2048G). I did NOT format or in any other sense "touched" the new SSD in my current windows 7 (so i...

Hello Im in the process of choosing a new HDD, i had some drives in mind, but on some forum i was recommended even bigger and "better" drive for the same price - Toshiba 16TB, MG08ACA16TE. I liked it a lot from all the descriptions... But just few days ago new Back Blaze article about their HDD...

Hello One my old ordinary HDD is dying, and im looking to buy a new HDD as a replacement for it. After looking at some shops at my country, i decided to go for something slightly better and more spacious this time (my OLD dying hdd is 8,3 years old WD Red 3TB 64MB cache (WD30EFRX)). Looking at...

Hello I have AsRock x370 Killer SLI board and i have Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD Sata drive (plug into standard sata connector). On this drive i have my only OS -Windows 7. I have several other magnetic drives (4 in total), none of them have windows on them (and never had AFAIK). I just DOS...

BTW i got some additional ideas: 1) Well im not really worrying about the 5950x part, im worrying about the rams. Like that PC wont really even start etc. (i had some problems with RAM in the past) and that i will have to try "every possible ram" configuration (new+old, duo, solo, every slot...

thank you, i didnt even know these existed lol :-)... have to find how its spelled in my native language :-) )...

lol the fan is not the problem, i can remove that easily (i have to even, the FAN blocks ALL the slots :-) ). The problem is the heatsink, the heatsink blocks the 1st ram slot (and maybe even 2nd...? it will be a TIGHT call), thats the problem. Fan removal is easy, heatsink not so much :-) :-(

Why are yoi afaif of using/buyinbg "used ram"...? I thought Used Rams (and even CPUs) are quite safe...? The only real problems with using used PC hardware stuff i read about is buying used HDDs (like the magnetic ones, not ssd), cause yyou simply dont know how the previous owner treated them...

Hello I will be probably doing an upgrade of RAM (adding additional 2 sticks of RAM to my already existing (6years old)) two sticks of RAM (for 4 sticks of RAM in total) on my 6 year old PC + maybe (very probably) i will also be upgrading the CPU (from Ryzen 1700 to Ryzen 5950x) (while keeping...

Hello I have a 6 years old PC build with motherboard - AsRock X370 Killer Sli: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X370 Killer SLI/#Support Currently im running Win7 but will in few days make a new instal with Windows 10. Currently its with Ryzen 1700 CPU in it. In few weeks im planning to...

I have currently as i wrote 16 GB RAM that was bought those 6 years ago. It runs (i didnt even know/realize it all those years) at 2133 mhz :-). And im not sure but it might be under those 1.2V. Have you updated BIOS on your board...? I know mine had some ram "problems" (incompatabilities or...

Thanks Well currently i have 16 GB RAM (2*8 GB) and it runs at... 2133 MHZ (or whatever the 21XX Mhz ) is :-))... I didnt even realize it... I know i put it there those 6 years ago, and didnt even mess with the frequency cause i knew there are some problems with it back than, that bios versions...

Thanks, your reply is useful actually :-)! 1) Thats weird, i think if you runned it with none beta bioses (there are those now), it should be definitely Ok and it should run ok now. Especiialy 3xxx series. 2) BTW what do you mean that it doesnt have great ram compatability...? i believe it was...

Hello I have Ryzen 1700 on X370 Killer SLI motherboard and want to put 5950X in it instead :-)! I have currently like 6 year old PC setup. I have the mobo - AsRock X370 Killer SLI (non AC version (!)), and have 6 year old cpu in it - Ryzen 1700 :-)... ) I want to upgrade the CPU (and keep...

thats a useless post .-)... what are you trying to tell ?

Whats the best and cheapest AIR cooler alternative to Noctua NHD14 (or 15) with AM4 (amd Ryzen) compatability? (Thats is available now, and not in a month)? I heart that Scythe Ninja 4... But saw some reviews that said he is NOT comparable to Noctua NHD15 in high temp enviroment (temps were 10...
