I see the MSI Ace x570 has 2 x 8 pin CPU power "sockets" to plug into as you can see And I see quite a few have 8pin and a 4 pin sockets for CPU power. But the manuals really dont give you much of a clue if you need to plug both in or if you can just use the one 8 pin cable. Now I think my...

Swapping memory between PC's and both machines wont boot...get errors . Inserting memory among cables and water hoses and they seem to go in but and not correctly it seems. Ended up putting one PC on its side and putting the memory in again and found out by putting them in this manner and...

O/cing my Asrock K6 and going well. Prime 95 did quite well and was getting a comfortable 5000 with good temps. Moved the case, its on a sort of skate board so its just pushing it slightly to get it out of the way. Then started DOOM and after about 60m seconds the screen would just fail, lost...

Just overclocked my 15 8600k and up to 5MHz at 1.3 volts with temps in the 60's. Dont understand so many settings and I think the BIOS creators go out of their way to make things as different as possible from other manufacturers. I think I got the main ones, 50 ...1.3V , LLC set at2 ( goes...

anyone used this mobo or have any input on it ? I see that it rates highly on some reviews for value for money and has sold out at a few vendors ( and when they got new stock they upped the price..bloody SOB's )

Maximus Hero X , 8700K and Corsair H115i ( with fans top and bottom ) Its a cool day before the furnace returns and PC is only put together recently. Just used CPU-Z and did the stress test at stock and now I want to try a mild overclock and am pretty much a novice at this. So thinking maybe an...

For manufacturers to supply USB drives instead of metal coasters with their motherboards. Then you just run a batch file and they will update to the latest drivers that are required as well as any software. So you USB stick would be up to date.:) But since they have a stock of metal coasters...

Best Gaming Monitor: MSI Optix MPG27CQ from another forum but what I love about this is.....you can use your mouse to set up the monitor instead of them horrible buttons Hopefully Tom will have something about this from CES...............

why do high end monitors that are expensive insist on putting the crappiest sound in these monitors, honestly its a torture Now these monitors are expensive so lets take the cost of the speakers they install, maybe $1 if that and instead take it off the retail price or better quality on the...

GamerNexus really attacked MSI for their heatshield for M'2 drives. Anyway basically when they get hot they throttle and I have an awful Aorus 1080ti that produces heat on the backplate just below the M.2 slot. So I put my M.2 drive in the bottom slot on the motherboard and just by 3x120 mm...
