It's obviously running a Killer 3100G 2.5 Gigabit Controller, or I wouldn't be here. I'd be playing games. My desktop wired ethernet was clocking at speeds over 85 M/s download speeds on steam. This one, 7.5 M/s max. Tried setting MTU to 1500 which it always is in every computer that exists...

Oh, well I guess I just like doing things the insanely contrived way that takes forever. I'll probably work it into a Rube Goldberg machine on my next attempt.

Alternatively, you could just reinstall windows with a flash drive after you take out the old one out and leave only the SSD attached. I was stuck with my new M.2 NVMe drive blocking access to whatever SATA port my main drive was on last night. So I just made an install thumb drive, used...

Damn, you guys had a rumble. Went with the one you linked, but the curved version cus I'm a douche bag, apparently. Also it's 34" so it technically meets your minimum width to curve it up.

Well, that was a horrible experience. But suffice it to say 2TB is gud. I dunno what my MB was doing shutting off my main drive and not letting me boot to it (I know you warned me) but I just had to rip the old one out and reinstall windows on the M.2 NVME. Plus side, it's a big old 500G flash...

2 TB seems the most sensible based on the prices. As far as quality, I've always gone with Western Digital for crappy mag drives. But Kingston used to be King on RAM, and GSkill has long since dethroned them. Anything to watch out for brand wise? Cus I honestly don't give a crap if I have to pay...

Let me start off by saying I don't know what the hell is going on with these. There's like 500 million options. People say 2080 RTX Super is good for 144mhz and some say otherwise. I also day trade so I was looking for a nice big ass, ultra wide monitor to keep all the charts I could on screen...

I guess what I'm really after is the largest and fastest drive C:\ SSD I can possibly get to work on my current MB. Some of these games are literally moving past the 100G mark in storage necessity, and 500G of storage just doesn't cut it. Nor does a regular hard drive, because unless I have a...

Overclock failed and I had to turn off XMP mode, though the previous 4 sticks turned out to be DDR4 3200 as well. But I gave RLCraft 32G out of the 64 to play with and it's chunking like a mofo at full settings. Just glad I don't listen to the 640k is all the RAM we'll ever need folks, lol.

My motherboard specs for hard drives are as follows. On-Board SATA • Intel® Z170 Express Chipset • 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports* • Supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 for SATA storage devices • 1 x M.2 Key M Socket supports type 2280/2260/2242 storage devices in both PCIE Gen3 x4 & SATA mode*...

Yeah, I stupidly used 4 sticks of 8GB when I built it, so they're all a total waste now. Going for 16G x 4 sticks. Based on playing on my gaming rig at 32G, it has worked wonders for optimizing resources. Just going to max it out of morbid curiosity and see what difference, if at all, 64G will...

Main Board specs for RAM • 4 x DDR4 memory slots, support up to 64GB - Supports DDR4 3200(OC)/ 3000(OC)/ 2800(OC)/ 2600(OC)/ 2400/ 2133 MHz • Dual channel memory architecture • Supports ECC, un-buffered memory - ECC UDIMM memory (non-ECC mode) • Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) *...

Motherboard: MSI Z170-A Pro (MS-7971), apparently it only does 4 cores max, so that's what I'm dealing with. When I built my rig, I made very sure that when the time came, I could just switch in another video card for the one that died. No PSU issues, 750W gold Corsair. 32G of RAM if that would...

Well, now I tried win 10 on it to see if that would boost performance. I'm getting 66% on time spy. I having a hard time understanding these tests.

Well crap, now you have me second guessing my monitor choice. If anything it would be nice to not need a friggn adapter just to use it. Time to go get some guy's hopes up for a commission at best buy comparing monitors then leave, lol.

I have no real expertise in this but can I ask what the difference is? As far as I know, there's no performance increase in having a better monitor, so is it just all the picture quality you're after? What is the difference between the "gaming" monitors and just a normal flat screen? I honestly...

Ah, well that's certainly something to try. Speaking of which, I never did get my RAM up to 3200 in the BIOS screen as I didn't see an option for it. I'm not sure if it did it automatically or what. But speaking of nudging to the top 10, do you think I should upgrade monitors? My usual attitude...

I don't really need to impress anyone but myself, but if I can break into the top 10% it's still cool to get that kind of power for the lowest price I could.

I suppose all those are good points. It just pisses me off that I can't break into the top 10%. lol
